Chapter 152 Freezing Time! The Deaths of Six Immortals! The New Lord of the Underworld!
Chapter 152 Freezing Time! The Death of the Sage of Six Paths! The New Lord of the Underworld!
Even someone as powerful as the Sage of Six Paths couldn't help but be horrified at this sight!
The Uchiha Chiba in front of him seemed to be an invincible being!
This ninja world was originally created by myself, and my own existence has long since become a myth and legend of the ninja world!
But now, it has been completely shattered by Uchiha Senba!
From this moment on, he is the real myth, the real legend!
In Hagoromo Otsutsuki's eyes, although Chiba Uchiha defeated his mother, he was utterly helpless against her immortality on another level and the seemingly endless army of souls in the Pure Land of the Underworld.
Unfortunately, his wishful thinking still failed.
Thousand Feathers Still —
God blocks and kills God!
I'll kill anyone who gets in my way!
Hagoromo Otsutsuki's soul was once again extinguished by sake.
Although he quickly regained consciousness, he also sensed a deep sense of crisis.
"As expected, I still need even greater power—"
His gaze instantly fell upon the Chunin Exams arena—
The Nine Tailed Beasts!
"Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Goku, King Mu, Saiken, Shigeaki, Ushioni, Kurama!"
"I need your strength now!"
For an instant.
All the Tailed Beasts who came to watch the battle, along with Gaara, Ukama, Naruto Uzumaki, and the Jinchūriki of these Tailed Beasts, exchanged glances and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Kurama temporarily took over Naruto's body.
"Old Master Rokudo, although we were created by you, it is no longer possible for us to stand on the same side as you —"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo frowned.
"What, Kurama, are you going to betray me too?"
Nine Lama said, "No, this is not betrayal, but my own choice."
"Back then, you used Yin-Yang Release to create us nine tailed beasts out of thin air from the chakra of the Ten-Tails and gave us life. You were truly a great benefactor."
"However, after that you abandoned us, leaving us to fend for ourselves. For thousands of years, no matter how strong we became, we suffered endless torment and pain."
"We are seen as a natural disaster and an omen of misfortune by the ninja world and humanity. Wars and conflicts break out time and again, with hatred, disgust, and endless fighting between us."
"If I had known you were dead, none of this would have mattered, but now it seems—"
"So, old man, you've been alive all along—"
"Since that's the case, you just watched all of this happen without doing anything—"
"The one who truly gave us freedom and the power to choose is the current Lord of the Ninja World!"
"so----"
"I choose to obey him, not you."
"I'm sorry, sir."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki's expression changed drastically.
"Nine Lama, you—"
"It's not you, it's all of you."
Nibi Matatabi also said, "Kurama is right, Rokudo-sama. From what you just said, we can only deduce that you could have done a lot over the past thousand years, but you did nothing."
"It's the same not only for us tailed beasts, but for the entire ninja world."
"And now, the Lord of the Shinobi World, who has freed the Tailed Beasts and brought peace to the shinobi world, has suddenly appeared, and you, instead, suddenly appear to change the entire shinobi world—"
"I cannot agree with your approach."
The other tailed beasts nodded silently as well.
The four-tailed Goku said, "Grandpa, now we are truly free beings—"
"I have my own home where I can rest whenever I want."
"We can also roam freely throughout the ninja world, without having to worry about humans or ninjas attacking us, and we can coexist peacefully with them —"
"Just like now."
In the spectator stands of the Chunin Exams, seats were reserved specifically for the Tailed Beasts, who watched the battles alongside human ninjas, without any distinction between them.
As Hagoromo Otsutsuki watched these scenes unfold, he finally realized that the nine tailed beasts, the very creatures he had created, had completely abandoned him.
Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, cried out in a shrill voice, "Give up, old man!"
"What you're doing now is wrong!"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki shook his head.
"You are only temporarily living in peace with humans."
"However, it's not a true connection of minds or mutual understanding—"
"One day, you will inevitably fall out with each other again, believe me—"
"Only by connecting each other's spiritual worlds with chakra can hatred and war be truly and permanently eliminated."
Wuwei Muwang said, "No, you're wrong, old man."
"You once believed that connecting each other with chakra could create a perfect world, but it ultimately failed."
"Because you don't actually understand human nature at all."
"People prefer to gain strength on their own rather than to understand each other."
"It's cruel, but it's also true."
"You denied all of this and forcibly tried to achieve so-called mutual understanding using chakra as a tool, which is destined to fail."
"And you say we're only at peace with humanity temporarily, that might be true, but so what?"
"At least we tried, instead of just fantasizing like you."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki shut his mouth.
He knew that he could no longer obtain the power of these tailed beasts.
I created them, and now they all possess their own will and thoughts.
They were like his own children.
But even they don't agree with themselves?
Thinking of this, the Sage of Six Paths couldn't help but think of Asura and Indra again—
Indeed, her own biological son did not actually receive a better ending either.
He passed on the Ninjutsu sect to Ashura, but this sparked a thousand-year-long internal conflict between the two brothers, which lasted until their deaths!
Could it be that—
Am I really a failure?
"Asura, Indra—"
"Did I really do something wrong?"
Behind him were the souls of his two sons.
Indra said in a deep voice, "Father, you were wrong from the start."
"The so-called Ninja Sect is nothing but a mirage."
"The only way to bring peace to this world is through absolute power!"
"If you hadn't forcibly imprisoned my soul, I would have agreed with Uchiha Chiba's actions from the start!"
Ashura remained silent.
He spoke after a long pause.
"Father, I don't know the answer either—"
"Or perhaps there is no answer at all —"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki also fell silent.
One of the two sons identified with Uchiha Chiba, while the other was lost and didn't know the answer.
Even the nine tailed beasts sided with Uchiha Chiba.
So it seems I really am a failure —
"Enough, Uchiha Senba—"
"It's Hagoromo Otsutsuki speaking," he said.
Qianyu said calmly, "What, so you finally realize your failure?"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki sighed.
"Perhaps I am indeed wrong—"
"However, that doesn't mean what you did was right—"
Qianyu gave a mocking sneer.
"You don't even have your own will and convictions."
"You have no right to discuss right and wrong with me."
"You don't even have the right to be wrong."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki's expression changed.
"Don't you even have the right to be wrong?"
"I admit that I am sometimes too indecisive."
"Uchiha Senba, I'm done fighting. I'm preparing to return to the Pure Land of the Underworld to properly consider the future of the entire ninja world—"
Qianyu burst into laughter.
"What a joke!"
"Hagoromo Otsutsuki, what do you think this ninja world is?"
"You think you can come and go as you please?"
"You forcibly commanded so many souls to fight for you, wantonly plundering and possessing the souls of others, and now you want to leave just because you don't want to fight anymore?"
"Delusion!"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki said in a deep voice, "Does it really have to be a fight to the death?"
"You are dead."

Chiyu didn't want to waste any more words with him. Otsutsuki Hagoromo was now a ghost. If he wasn't eliminated now, who knew if he would mobilize the souls of the Underworld again to invade the mortal realm?
Evil must be eradicated completely.
This is Chiba's eternal code of conduct.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki also said in a deep voice, "Uchiha Senba, I've already said it, it's simply impossible for you to kill me."
"Unless you can annihilate every single soul in the entire Pure Land of the Underworld!"
Qianyu said calmly, "That's not a difficult thing for me either."
"However, I am different from you. I know who deserves to die and who is the one to blame."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki frowned deeply.
"I'm leaving now."
"9
His soul flickered slightly, emitting rays of brilliant white light, as if it were about to ascend and vanish at any moment.
however.
In that very instant.
Qianyu calmly uttered three words.
"Takamagahara."
The Takamagahara, which was about to dissipate, suddenly bloomed again, and the divine realm instantly unfolded!
Shen Fu's power is many times greater than before!
This is the result of his enhanced pupil power after annihilating so many souls!
"Hmm? This is—"
This is why Chiba is always invincible!
Even if there are many of these souls, as long as Qianyu annihilates and kills them in battle, he can gain an increase and replenishment of power, using battle to sustain battle, using killing to stop killing, and silently creating a cycle!
If they keep killing like this, even the entire Pure Land of the Underworld will be slaughtered!
However, the person he ultimately wanted to kill was Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
"Hagoromo Otsutsuki, I'll show you what true power is."
"Time freezes."
Buzzing—
Within the divine realm of Takamagahara, countless souls of flesh and blood suddenly lost track of time.
Even the soul of Otsutsuki Hagoromo is the same!
From the ninja's perspective outside of Takamagahara—
The scene that can be seen is————
All the souls froze in time, motionless, like statues, unable to move!
"This, this is—"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki's soul was ultimately extraordinary, still capable of thought, though ultimately unable to move.
Qianyu said calmly, "Even if you can continuously possess other bodies, it seems to require effort; it's not something that can be done easily—"
"In that case, you can escape by remaining silent."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki finally changed his expression.
"You—you really want to—"
Qianyu was too lazy to waste words with him.
"die."
"Time is annihilated!"
In an instant, in the Takamagahara where time seemed to stand still, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's soul underwent a strange transformation—
That soul did not vanish in pieces, like space itself being annihilated.
Even the Buddha will not directly vanish into silence, like the annihilation of a soul.
Instead—
As if time were reversed, and the past were turned back, the soul gradually became thin, pale, alienated, and faint.
Even now, the form of Hagoromo Otsutsuki's soul is changing —
From now on, back to the past, all the way back to his era—
Even Buddha, youth, adolescence, childhood, infancy —
final----
The existence of Hagoromo Otsutsuki has been completely annihilated.
His soul vanished, and he was forever reincarnated.
[You have successfully helped the Sage of Six Paths, who has toiled for over a thousand years, to have a chance to rest. Your merit is immeasurable, a truly virtuous act! You have gained 500,000 merit points!]
Congratulations on successfully acquiring all the abilities of the Sage of Six Paths!
Qianyu's heart stirred.
Having obtained all the power of the Sage of Six Paths, he is now the new ruler of the Underworld.
With a gentle lift of his hand, he undid the frozen time within Takamagahara.
All souls were reborn.
From then on, Chiba became the true ruler of the ninja world and the ruler of the underworld.
He became the absolute ruler in both the underworld and the mortal world!
He can easily summon the souls of the dead from the underworld without using any living people as sacrifices, and he can freely travel between the mortal world and the underworld without paying any price!
because----
Unlike the Sage of Six Paths, he is still alive.
The current Chiba possesses power that surpasses even that of the Grim Reaper!
However, recklessly using the rules governing life and death is ultimately not a good thing.
Unless absolutely necessary, Chiyu is not prepared to break this principle.
The Sage of Six Paths' soul was completely annihilated and disappeared without a trace, becoming utter silence.
The other countless souls who had been silently dying were also freed from the bondage of the Six Paths Sage.
But they also sensed that Qianyu had now become the new ruler of the underworld.
Indra said, "Lord of the Ninja World, you have freed my father, but I do not blame you. As I have said before, I agree with your path."
"If you need my power, you can summon me at any time."
Qianyu nodded calmly.
-
Ashura sighed, "I still don't understand what the real answer is."
"but----"
"I will keep waiting."
He looked at Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
"Indra, that is ours—"
"It seems they still have our chakra within them. I just hope they won't end up like us, killing each other."
Indra said, "Hmph, I'm not worried at all. After all, with the Lord of the Ninja World here, he can resolve all karmic causes and destinies."
After a moment of silence, Ashura finally nodded.
"That's true—"
"Then let's wish them a better ending than you and I, brothers—"
After saying this, their souls ascended to heaven again, disappeared, and returned to the Pure Land of the Underworld.
Most of the other souls also ascended to heaven.
But many old friends are also saying goodbye to their loved ones.
"Naruto————"
The souls of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki descended from the sky and embraced Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto was also moved to tears and rushed forward.
Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, also began his final conversation with Kakashi Hatake.
Matt Kay also met his father, Matt Day.
Iruka was also reunited with his parents, and tears welled up in his eyes.
The entire Chunin Exams turned into a massive family reunion.
Qianyu did not stop any of this.
Shi Ran, he can control everyone's soul at will.
At this moment, the souls of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado also surrounded Chiba.
"Uchiha Chiba, you've won. You can now completely annihilate our souls!"
"I don't want to keep watching you swagger around!"
"Kill us!"
Beneath Hiruzen Sarutobi's anger lay a deep-seated despair and utter hopelessness.
Qianyu said calmly, "In my eyes, you are no longer worth mentioning."
"But you don't think that by using this method I'll let you go, do you?"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're still as foolish as ever—"
He snapped his fingers lightly.
The souls of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado were completely reduced to ashes and will never exist in the ninja world again.
On the other side, Itachi Uchiha's soul appeared in front of Sasuke Uchiha.
"I'm sorry, Sasuke—"
"You suffered such pain—"
-
however.
Sasuke Uchiha completely ignored him.
He simply turned and looked in the direction of Qianyu.
"Lord of the Ninja World, please help me to completely annihilate his soul."
Uchiha Itachi's expression immediately changed!
He would rather Sasuke Uchiha hated him to the core than see him like this, his face blank, numb, cold, and indifferent.
Doesn't that mean that I am completely meaningless in his heart?
But Qianyu simply nodded slightly.
With a single thought, Itachi Uchiha's soul was utterly annihilated in despair and agony.
Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha had mixed feelings.
However, seeing Sasuke gradually recovering, especially his ability to so rationally let go of the painful mark Itachi wanted to leave behind, I couldn't help but feel relieved.
Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha also sighed.
"Hashirama, you were wrong, and I was wrong too—"
"It seems we haven't accomplished anything—"
Hashirama Senju, however, had already come to terms with it.
"That's fine too. Let the future of the ninja world be left to the people of today."
"Uchiha Chiba, although I didn't agree with his actions, it seems now that he might be right, Buddha-sama—"
"He has his own will and choices, and he resolutely carries them out."
Tobirama Senju remained silent.
Even if he agreed with his older brother's words, it would be a hundred times more painful than killing him to make him acknowledge an Uchiha!
Soon, the souls of the three also disappeared.
Qianyu calmly watched these scenes unfold.
Everyone settled their own karmic ties and destinies, or fulfilled their dreams and reunited with their loved ones; everything came to a final conclusion—
Finally, after the dust settled, Qianyu unleashed the spell to summon the Pure Land.
All the souls returned to the Pure Land of the Underworld.
but----
Within this group, Qianyu sensed something unusual and different about a particular soul—
That was the younger brother of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths.
Otsutsuki Hamura!
His soul, in a surprising act, resisted its own power and flew towards its original, final resting place—
Moon!
Qianyu's heart skipped a beat; there it was—
