Chapter 154: Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke!
In the ninja world, when a person dies, they can enter the afterlife realm.
From there, they can be summoned back through the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
This technique can also be undone, allowing one to achieve true resurrection.
After dying, they can re-enter the afterlife realm, enabling infinite resurrection.
The only cost is a ninja's body, which is used as the medium for the reincarnation.
Of course, White Zetsu can also be used.

"Close your eyes. I'll pass some of my power to you.
I hope you can bring peace to the ninja world and defeat all sources of chaos."
The Sage of Six Paths spoke, catching Naruto off guard.
Who was this person? Why did he seem so powerful?
Was he, like Kurama, here to help him?
"W-w-wait, old man, who are you?"
"Feel this power carefully. The future depends on you.
I am known as the Sage of Six Paths," the sage said, placing his hands on Naruto's back.
He could sense Naruto's pure-hearted kindness.
This young man was truly a natural-born Ashura.
---
"Oh, oh, oh! The Sage of Six Paths, huh? Just like Pervy Sage, you're also a sage!
Wait! You're the Sage of Six Paths!"
At first, Naruto didn't quite grasp it, but he quickly realized the significance of the name.
This was the Sage of Six Paths!
How was this possible? The legendary Sage was standing before him,
willing to grant him power to save Kurama!
---
"Stay calm. The power I'm giving you will elevate you to the Six Paths level.
When the time comes, you'll possess strength comparable to Uchiha Madara and Ishihara.
You understand why the ninja world has fallen into chaos, don't you?"
The Sage subtly hinted to Naruto that Madara and Ishihara were his enemies.
Only by defeating them could peace return to the ninja world.
The Sage now wielded a significant portion of the Shinigami's power, which was tied to the soul. Thus, his suggestion deeply influenced others.
After receiving the Sage's hints, Naruto began to think the ninja world had been peaceful
until Ishihara appeared.
When the Sage left, Naruto's subconscious solidified the belief that Ishihara was the root cause of this turmoil.

Meanwhile, Sasuke was also restless.
Though his life trajectory had diverged, his pursuit of power had reached its peak.
After receiving the Sage's hints, Sasuke, too, believed Ishihara must die!
Naruto might only wish to defeat or seal Ishihara, but Sasuke was different—he wanted to kill anyone stronger than himself!
He intended to rewrite the rules of the ninja world, establishing himself as its ruler.
Under his control, right and wrong would be dictated by him alone, ensuring peace through his absolute dominance.
Using the power of the Rinnegan, Sasuke planned to achieve immortality, so this so-called peace could last forever.
Even if it meant bearing the hatred of the entire world, he didn't care!
When the Sage learned of Sasuke's ambitions, he fully supported him.
The Sage admired Sasuke for being a natural dictator.
With Sasuke in charge, there was no fear of overly powerful individuals like Ishihara emerging again.
As for Sasuke himself, no matter how strong he became, he could never surpass the Sage.
After completing all this, the Sage left, setting up a powerful seal between the ninja world and the afterlife.
From that moment on, no one in the ninja world, once dead, could enter the afterlife. They would truly die.
The Sage didn't know what consequences this might bring.
He only knew it would prevent Ishihara from absorbing spirit energy in the afterlife again.

After Naruto and Sasuke received the Sage's power, they woke up instantly, fully restored!
Obito, witnessing this, realized he couldn't allow these two to disrupt Madara's plan.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi had to happen!
He needed to create a world where Rin existed.
Thus, Obito struck!
He appeared in front of Naruto, preparing to act.
But before he could, a golden cloak materialized around Naruto, five Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind him.
Naruto wielded two staffs crafted from the orbs.
Obito froze in shock at the sight.
What was happening? This guy…
Before Obito could react, Naruto struck him with a staff, sending him flying.
Naruto immediately dashed toward Madara.
If he could seal Madara, he could rescue Kurama!
Sasuke, meanwhile, also charged forward.
But unlike Naruto, Sasuke's goal was to seal both Madara and Ishihara.
If he succeeded, Sasuke would become the strongest in the ninja world!
Oh, wait. There was still Naruto—but Naruto was his ally!
For a moment, Sasuke envisioned a beautiful future.
Just then, Madara and Ishihara noticed the two of them.
