A moment later, the Sage of Six Paths, having been spoiled, fell silent.
Whether it was Kaguya, Momoshiki, or Isshiki, their power had already surpassed the realm of ninjas, reaching the true domain of "Gods."
Although Naruto and Sasuke were reincarnations of his Chakra, facing these enemies still meant constant peril and the need for enormous sacrifices.
"Enough. The future of the ninja world shouldn't be worried about by you, a lonely soul who died a thousand years ago," Hansen's voice struck his heart like a heavy hammer.
"You must believe in the strength of those who come after. Even without you, they will find their own way out."
"As for me, I am merely a passerby here, taking what I want, and nothing more."
"The future of this world ultimately belongs to the living."
These words caused the Sage of Six Paths to tremble.
He looked at Hansen, the worry in his eyes gradually dissipating, replaced by a sense of relief.
That's right... he had already been dead for over a thousand years.
Worrying only muddles things.
The future of the ninja world should naturally be created by those living in the present.
As an old relic, he truly had worried too much.
"This old man... has been enlightened."
The Sage of Six Paths stood up and bowed solemnly to Hansen.
This time, it was genuine admiration and respect.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for untying a knot that has bound this old man for a thousand years."
Having said that, his soul body began to transform into speckles of light, slowly dissipating.
"As for the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, I hope it will be of some assistance on your journey..."
As the Sage of Six Paths' Chakra completely vanished from the living world, a gigantic statue appeared amidst the ruined buildings with a massive rumble.
It turned out that the Sage of Six Paths had summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path before he left.
As for the nominal master of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Nagato didn't even know when the countless Chakra receivers connecting him to the statue behind him had been severed.
But having witnessed the battle between true deities, he, who had always viewed himself as a god, indicated his stance.
He dared not move; he simply dared not move.
Ignoring the docile founder of the Akatsuki organization, Hansen walked straight toward the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which radiated an ominous aura.
This gigantic statue, crafted from the husk of the Divine Tree, emitted an ancient and desolate aura.
Hansen reached out and gently pressed his hand onto its rough, cold, rock-like surface.
The moment he touched it, a complex and chaotic stream of life information flooded his mind —the ancient memories originating from the Divine Tree, the primal roar of the Ten-Tails.
[Ding! Contact established with copyable target "Demonic Statue of the Outer Path"!]
["Divine Tree Body (SSR)": The ultimate vessel for the Divine Tree's remains and Chakra. Its body possesses near-absolute resistance to physical and Ninjutsu attacks, can release Chakra Dragons from its mouth to devour enemy Chakra, and serves as the core for activating the "Phantom Dragon Nine Consuming Seals" ritual, forcibly stripping and sealing Tailed Beasts.]
["Primal Wood Release (SSR)": The Divine Tree's primal authority over all creation. It can freely change body shape, customize and mass-produce Wood Release clones. Its Wood Release can directly draw energy from the earth, instantly generating giant vines and trees for indiscriminate restraint and destructive physical strikes.]
["Immortal Life (SSR)": Twisted and immense life force that allows long-term existence even without Chakra. Any non-destructive damage can regenerate in an extremely short time. It can passively deploy a Life Exclusion Zone, sensing and continuously drawing the life force of all surrounding organisms to provide energy for its actions or convert into nearly infinite Chakra.]
["Mobile Catastrophe (SSR)": Releasing the immense Chakra within to directly interfere with the natural environment, unleashing thunder storms, generating hurricanes, summoning floods, and triggering earthquakes, purely rewriting the battlefield environment with power.]
