Tomoki and the other two looked at the researcher, whose temperament had completely changed, and felt a pressure that was almost tangible.
Meanwhile, in other parts of the Ninja World, all creatures with Chakra in their bodies felt a strange, inexplicable stir, and looked towards the horizon with some confusion.
No matter where they were, in any region of the Ninja World continent, they unconsciously turned their gaze towards the Rouran Ancient Kingdom.
Konoha, Sunagakure, Hidden Mist, Kumogakure, Shinobi Alliance, Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest, Ryūchi Cave....
The more powerful the creature, the more they could perceive an unusual emotion.
Among them, the Toad Sage, the White Snake Sage, the Slug Sage, and Nagato were the most affected.
Some understood in their hearts, while others were puzzled.
"That guy's back... he's back!"
A trembling and shocked voice echoed from within the cave.
Obito, whose chest had been pierced once again, looked at the trembling tentacle that made him sway, a glint flashing in his eyes.
An opportunity!
Then Obito's figure vanished like a phantom.
[Izanagi!]
--------
Rouran Ancient Kingdom, Dragon Vein.
A flicker of excitement crossed Tomoki's eyes; he didn't act immediately but instead threw a scroll he had on him fiercely outwards.
Afterward, Tomoki's entire body transformed into lava, and he stepped forward.
Directly facing the chosen son of this Hokage world, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, who had never tasted defeat.
15 seconds? That's enough!
The Six Paths Sage thought.
Looking at Tomoki, who advanced instead of retreating, the Six Paths Sage was unconcerned.
Weak.
Too weak.
"You touched what you shouldn't have; you deserve to die!"
A voice like thunder exploded in the minds of the three; the Six Paths Sage didn't speak, it was merely an emotion.
But Tomoki and the other two clearly understood its meaning, a voice appearing in their minds.
What seemed like a long message was actually conveyed and understood instantly.
Indeed, Chakra or true essence had many high-level applications; a fist bump was still a bit primitive.
"But that's not yours either! Good things naturally belong to the virtuous!"
Tomoki didn't have such methods, so he could only use Shinatsuhiko to transmit his voice, but it was still quite fast.
The Six Paths Sage, cloaked in the researcher's attire, after Tomoki's words left his mouth, a trace of emotion, that was vexation, flashed in his otherwise placid eyes.
Tomoki, who clearly caught all of this, showed his familiar smile.
It was the confidence that arose after confirming his suspicions.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo was held back, and not for a moment, but for a thousand years.
No wonder he never appeared for a thousand years; it turned out he couldn't get away!
Although it was the Six Paths Sage who spread Chakra, Tomoki never forgot.
The progenitor of Chakra was Kaguya!
All Chakra belonged to Kaguya; her authority was even higher than the Six Paths Sage's.
For the past thousand years, the Six Paths Sage had been vying for power!
The reason he was free now was largely thanks to Tomoki's help; the breadcrumbs Tomoki stole belonged to the Six Paths Sage, but more so to Kaguya.
Currently, fewer than 7,000 people had been converted; compared to the countless Ninja over a thousand years, it was a drop in the ocean.
Tomoki was also certain that the Six Paths Sage wouldn't last long and would soon have to go back to contending for power.
"How about we cooperate? I believe I can offer you a lot of help!"
Tomoki, not good at fighting, would avoid it whenever possible.
Why fight when things could be resolved through friendly means?
Deception and trickery had almost become an instinct for Tomoki.
As long as he stalled for a bit, everyone would go back to their homes, back to their mothers.
Hmm, real mother!
The Six Paths Sage, already pressed for time, hesitated for a moment after hearing Tomoki's words.
But in an instant, endless killing intent surged towards Tomoki.
You know too much!
"If you're scared, hide!"
Tomoki's words echoed in Rasa and Orochimaru's ears.
The Six Paths Sage was clearly a brute, incapable of communication.
Tomoki also knew that a confrontation was inevitable.
It wasn't that the Six Paths Sage, like many in the Ninja World, knew never to trust a single word from Tomoki.
Rather, a god wouldn't care what an ant said, especially a clever ant.
A Truth-Seeking Orb condensed in the Six Paths Sage's palm, striking towards Tomoki with near-teleportation speed.
Tomoki, in his Surtur template, could do nothing but raise the twilight sword to block.
"Bang!"
Without any surprise, Tomoki was knocked back by a huge force, tumbling backward on the ground.
Everyone present was intelligent; even Rasa, with the least information, guessed that this researcher was not his subordinate.
Most likely, he was the legendary Six Paths Sage.
Rasa had thought the Six Paths Sage would eventually come knocking, but he hadn't expected it so soon.
Rasa, who had been confident about the future before, now felt his heart sink to rock bottom.
Did Sunagakure still have a future?
Rasa had lost trust in Tomoki.
As dashing as you looked when you declared yourself invincible, that's how pathetic you look now, rolling on the ground!
"Hahaha, this Chakra, I approve of you! Among all the people I've seen, no one is stronger than you; I, Uchiha Tomoki, declare you the strongest!!!"
Provocative words echoed in the ears of Orochimaru, Rasa, and the Six Paths Sage.
If one didn't consider Tomoki's current appearance, it was quite imposing.
Especially Orochimaru, who seemed to remember something, his mouth twitching slightly.
He seemed to have once been called the softest.
Tomoki was spouting provocative words not for fun, but because he had confirmed that the Truth-Seeking Orb couldn't deal with the twilight sword, which meant it couldn't deal with him either.
These highly mocking words, though he didn't know if they would work on the Six Paths Sage, were still worth a try.
Otherwise, if the Six Paths Sage turned to deal with the others, it wouldn't be good.
A boss, besides taking the biggest blame, also had to take the hardest beating!
