Upon hearing Uchiha Mirai's words, Mei Terumi and the others all held their breath.
Their gazes were filled with anticipation as they looked at him.
Everyone wanted to know what decision the Sage of Six Paths made after discovering what his mother had done.
Mirai took a sip of water at a leisurely pace before continuing his story.
"After Otsutsuki Hagoromo discovered what Otsutsuki Kaguya had done, he immediately informed Otsutsuki Hamura."
"Unlike their mother, the two brothers were born and raised in the ninja world. They had human emotions and cared for its people."
"Thus, they immediately sought out Otsutsuki Kaguya, hoping to convince her to abandon her plan of creating the White Zetsu army and release everyone from the Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"However, Otsutsuki Kaguya firmly rejected their request and warned them not to interfere with the Infinite Tsukuyomi any further."
"Left with no choice, Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura went into hiding, biding their time."
"It was during this period that a certain toad approached Otsutsuki Hagoromo."
"A toad?" Tsunade and Namikaze Minato, who had been quietly listening, finally exclaimed in surprise.
As Jiraiya's close friend and student, they were extremely sensitive to the mention of 'toads.'
Minato couldn't help but ask, "Mirai, is the toad you're talking about related to Mount Myoboku?"
Uchiha Mirai nodded and said softly, "The toad that approached Otsutsuki Hagoromo back then was none other than the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku."
"What?!"
Tsunade and Minato's jaws dropped in shock.
The Sage of Six Paths lived thousands of years ago—yet the Great Toad Sage already existed at that time?
"And it wasn't just the Great Toad Sage," Mirai added with a faint chuckle. "The Slug Sage and the White Snake Sage also existed in that era."
"For some unknown reason, they later chose to retreat into seclusion within their respective sanctuaries."
"But make no mistake, they hold knowledge and power far beyond imagination."
Minato and Tsunade exchanged a glance, both struggling to process this revelation.
Their own summon animals had never once mentioned anything about this...
"I don't know much about them either," Mirai admitted. "Someday, I'll need to find the time to question them properly."
"For now, let's get back to the main story."
Dragon Veins, priestesses, the Evil God, the Shinigami, Mount Myoboku, Ryuchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest...
One day, he would uncover all these mysteries.
The ninja world was his foundation, and he would not allow anything beyond his control to exist.
After a moment's thought, Mirai continued, "Under the guidance of the Great Toad Sage, Otsutsuki Hagoromo mastered senjutsu and even received a special talisman from the Great Toad Sage—one that had the power to bring the dead back to life."
(T/N: Honestly, that sounds really weird...I removed some parts, but anyway.)
Everyone present was utterly shocked upon hearing this.
They had never imagined that the Sage of Six Paths learned senjutsu from the toads of Mount Myoboku—let alone that they possessed a talisman capable of resurrecting the dead...
Thinking about it further, it became clear that aside from ninjas, the ninja world likely harbored other hidden factions beyond their knowledge.
No wonder Mirai, despite his immense strength, still exercised caution.
Ancient forces that had existed since the dawn of the ninja world could not be underestimated.
To think they had once fought over petty gains, blind to the grander scheme of things—it made them feel small and foolish.
After giving Onoki and the others some time to process this information, Uchiha Mirai continued,
"With his mastery of senjutsu, the Sage of Six Paths resolved to oppose his mother."
"But by the time he returned, Otsutsuki Hamura had already been placed under Kaguya's control."
"Left with no choice, the Sage of Six Paths had to kill his own brother."
"It was in the depths of that agony and his desperate need for power that he awakened the Rinnegan."
Uchiha Mirai tapped his own eyes. "The very same eyes that I now possess."
Onoki and the others all nodded in understanding.
The Rinnegan—also known as the 'Eyes of the Sage'—belonged exclusively to the Sage of Six Paths. That much they knew.
"Using the talisman, the Sage of Six Paths resurrected his brother. The two of them resolved to overthrow Otsutsuki Kaguya together."
"By that point, Kaguya had completely given up on her sons. She decided to reclaim the chakra she had granted them."
"Thus began a battle that lasted for months, shaking the very foundation of the ninja world."
"In the end, Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura combined their power to unleash the 'Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei,' sealing Otsutsuki Kaguya away. The massive sphere created by the seal remained suspended in the sky."
"That sphere is what you now know as the moon."
Gasp!
Pakura, Mei Terumi, Mabui, Onoki, Tsunade, Namikaze Minato, and the others all sucked in a breath of cold air.
The story Mirai had just told was simply too unbelievable.
The moon—the celestial body they saw every night—was actually the seal imprisoning Otsutsuki Kaguya?!
If not for their trust in Mirai's credibility, they would never have believed something so absurd.
A battle that lasted for months, powerful enough to fracture the entire ninja world...
Just how immense must their chakra reserves and spiritual energy have been?
During the Third Great Ninja War, the strongest individual at the time, the Third Raikage, had lasted only three days before exhausting himself to death.
And his battles had been against ordinary ninjas—nowhere near the level of landscape-altering combat.
Compared to Otsutsuki Kaguya, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and Otsutsuki Hamura, the so-called 'Kage-level' shinobi were no different from ants.
This was a level of power truly befitting the title of 'God.'
As they processed this, everyone's gaze toward Uchiha Mirai filled with newfound reverence.
After all, Mirai now wielded power at the Six Paths level.
Did that mean he, too, possessed the ability to fight for months on end?
Mabui was the first to break the silence. "Heh... No wonder the usual tactic of overwhelming you with sheer numbers never works. Even if the entire ninja world joined forces, it probably wouldn't be enough to stop you."
Onoki nodded in agreement. "I'm just grateful we didn't try using the same method we used to defeat the Third Raikage against you. Otherwise, I fear Iwagakure would've been wiped out."
Mei Terumi's eyes burned with intensity as she gazed at Mirai.
Damn it, could they take a break from this meeting? She was really tempted to experience the power of a Six Paths-level man firsthand.
Pakura, however, couldn't help but ask, "Mirai, does that mean Otsutsuki Kaguya is still sealed away on the moon?"
Her words snapped everyone back to reality, and a sense of unease crawled over them.
They needed to know what happened next.
One by one, they asked, "Mirai, what happened after Otsutsuki Kaguya was sealed?"
Seeing their eager expressions, Mirai chuckled.
"That's the gist of the story. Now that you all understand the past, it's time I tell you about the threat facing the ninja world today..."
