The Sage of Six Paths Brothers Rise from the Dead

"Red Queen, report on the current state of the Genjutsu Space. Are there any problems?"

Red Queen flickered slightly. "The biggest problem is that once someone enters the Genjutsu Space, their physical body is completely defenseless. Therefore, forced entry like this cannot be carried out too often. At the very least, they need to be warned beforehand."

Yota nodded. Setting everything else aside, if someone was suddenly pulled into the Genjutsu Space while walking down the stairs, wouldn’t they end up with a cracked skull?

"Then when the time comes, you’ll take a certain degree of control over their physical bodies," Yota continued. Although that would probably make the ninjas even more wary of the Genjutsu Space, Yota now held the upper hand and did not care what they thought.

"Also, if a ninja’s physical body outside might encounter danger, warn them directly in the Genjutsu Space. Hmm, set up an alert radius. If anyone comes within ten meters, activate the warning immediately."

"Understood." Red Queen nodded directly.

"Then, how were the gains from the Genjutsu Space?"

A waterfall of data immediately flashed through Red Queen’s virtual body. "The gains were enormous. Computing power has increased by 97.6%. It is estimated that as ordinary people gradually cultivate Chakra, the maximum increase can reach 200%. Chakra reserves stand at 130,000 cards. With the arrival of the Chakra era, they are expected to increase by more than one million cards within a year."

The so-called cards were the minimum amount of Chakra Yota estimated for a jonin-level standard. It was just a little joke on his part.

Although ordinary people did not possess Chakra, they still had spiritual energy and physical energy. With the Tenseigan’s conversion, they could likewise combine them into Chakra.

In fact, during Kaguya’s era, humans had not possessed Chakra either, yet they were still affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi genjutsu.

Without Chakra, they were somewhat less susceptible to genjutsu, but as long as they had spiritual energy, they could not be completely immune.

"Everything is on the right track now. Store the Chakra away for the time being and use it to update and patch the Genjutsu Space."

Although Yota greatly coveted the Genjutsu Space’s surplus Chakra, he also understood the value of casting a long line for a big fish and sustainable development. The better the Genjutsu Space developed, the more powerful experts the ninja world would have in the future, and the more Chakra he would obtain.

Moreover, there had never been any shortage of ambitious people in the Naruto World. Yota was certain that quite a few ninjas now coveted the Genjutsu Space. The more Chakra they could store, the greater the power Red Queen and Hamura Ōtsutsuki could wield, and the better they could protect the Genjutsu Space’s server.

Although, for now, no one in the entire ninja world seemed capable of dealing with the Tenseigan, the future was hard to predict. Not to mention the threat posed by the Celestial Being Ōtsutsuki clan.

As he pondered this, Yota suddenly frowned. His Observation Haki sensed two powerful presences entering.

"Who is it?" Yota cried out in alarm and walked outside.

It was no wonder Yota was startled. The two masses of Chakra outside were far stronger than anyone he had ever encountered. Even the Nine-Tails, the strongest Chakra wielder Yota had met, was utterly insignificant by comparison.

But when Yota stepped outside, his pupils contracted. "Sage of Six Paths!?"

As for the other one, he looked exactly like the Chakra body Hamura Ōtsutsuki had left behind. He was clearly the Sage of Six Paths’ younger brother, Hamura Ōtsutsuki.

Except this one should have been the real body, rather than the Chakra body within the Tenseigan.

Seeing the two of them, countless thoughts raced through Yota’s mind, and he seemed to understand something all at once.

"The younger generation has accomplished something truly remarkable," the Sage of Six Paths said with a smile. "If I had thought of this method back then, the ninja world would likely have changed beyond recognition long ago."

"I never expected that you were still alive, Sage of Six Paths. Then again, I had been thinking about it the wrong way. For people like you, the boundary between life and death was never all that clear," Yota said with a frown.

Thinking it through carefully, the inconsistencies became obvious. The Ōtsutsuki clan was a race with extremely long lifespans. Furthermore, in the original manga, there had been no Land of Ancestors’ Ruler. The Sage of Six Paths brothers had been born after Ōtsutsuki Kaguya consumed the God Tree Fruit, blessed by the masses.

In other words, the brothers were pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki! How could they possibly grow old, sicken, and die as quickly as ordinary people?

From the Sage of Six Paths’ era until now, only a thousand years had passed. For pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki, they should still have been at the height of their lives.

"Indeed. For us, life and death are merely a boundary that can be crossed by using Yang Release Chakra to create a body," the Sage of Six Paths admitted openly. "It is simply that I felt a dead Sage of Six Paths might be better for the entire world."

"So what brings the two of you here today? Is it because I opened the Genjutsu Space?" Yota asked, raising his guard internally.

"Naturally." The Sage of Six Paths looked at Yota with clear appreciation. "After opening the Genjutsu Space, you have become qualified to stand alongside us."

Seeing Yota’s puzzled expression, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki said softly, "Have you played shogi? In a sense, the ninja world is a vast game board. Every piece has its own role. In the past, as your strength, reputation, and influence grew, you merely went from being an anonymous, ordinary piece to an important general."

"Only after you created the Genjutsu Space did you truly become one of the players."

Yota remained silent, still sorting through his chaotic thoughts. The Sage of Six Paths continued, "You should already know quite a few things. Then have you ever considered where my mother, the Ōtsutsuki clan, actually came from?"

"Space Aliens from outer space," Yota answered directly, making even the Sage of Six Paths slightly surprised. "Correct. The Ōtsutsuki clan is indeed a cosmic race. And every thousand years, they inspect their own nursery."

Yota nodded slightly. "So you have been secretly advancing the development of the ninja world, hoping that people capable of fighting the Ōtsutsuki would emerge?"

"More precisely, we have two goals."

"The first goal is naturally to see warriors capable of battling the Ōtsutsuki emerge, or at least people who can provide us with some help in battle."

"The second goal is actually similar to yours." The Sage of Six Paths spoke slowly. "The ninjutsu I could develop on my own was ultimately limited. Drawing upon the wisdom of everyone in the world was undoubtedly a more efficient method."

"Just like your Genjutsu Space, we have our own Pure Land!"
