[Item: A giant sealing array barrier formed by combining with the planet's atmosphere, imbued with the aura of battle...]
[Refinable Items: Sparse Six Paths Yin-Yang Power, mottled Ōtsutsuki Clan Aura, 27 types in total, gradually dissipating...]
[Chakra Consumption: 36,723]
[Suggestion: If it's too diluted, it won't be absorbed...]
...
Senju Nawaki laughed in exasperation at the information he had obtained.
The fact that it takes more than 30,000 chakra points to refine it shows how scarce and useless this energy is.
The last time I encountered such a drain was when I first arrived in the ninja world, when I absorbed the chakra of elite Jōnin from the Sarutobi or Ino–Shika–Chō clans.
In comparison, one can see how rare this aura is.
However, Senju Nawaki also obtained some extremely important information from it.
These holes in the atmosphere are the result of the battle between the Ōtsutsuki clan, who invaded the ninja world, and the Sage of Six Paths.
It was also discovered that these holes in the atmosphere allow violent energy from outer space to enter the ninja world, disrupting its ecological balance.
The direction it was pointing towards was also a desolate place in the ninja world, which had been drained by the Sacred Tree and was now absorbing the violent energy of the universe, transforming into another kind of dead land unsuitable for the survival of ninja creatures.
This must have been done intentionally by the Sage of Six Paths; no wonder the wasteland keeps spreading.
In the entire ninja world, only a dozen or so villages of varying sizes remain.
The Sage of Six Paths is stealing the entire world, and the Otsutsuki clan has become his accomplice and his prey.
"This aura?"
Senju Nawaki's eyes twitched slightly as he sensed a particularly familiar aura among the dozens of faint auras.
When did you encounter this?
Could it be that I have encountered other members of the Ōtsutsuki clan by chance?
"I remember now, I saw it on the Death Mask of the Uzumaki Clan."
Everything is connected.
Senju Nawaki has obtained more information about the Sage of Six Paths, but he still needs to return to the ninja world to confirm it.
The ninja world is like an alluring lure, constantly drawing people from the Ōtsutsuki clan.
The Sage of Six Paths had already set a trap, regarding the Ōtsutsuki clan as his prey.
They hunted relentlessly, transforming the prey into their own power.
When the Uzumaki clan uses the Shiki Fūjin, the demons that appear have some characteristics of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
It had sickly white skin, two horns on its head, and loose silver hair.
To show his sincerity, the third elder of the Uzumaki clan once gave Senju Nawaki their treasured demon mask.
The Senju Nawaki was above, and it sensed a powerful aura. Now, upon careful reflection, it turned out to be the aura of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
It was only because he had only sensed the aura of the Sage of Six Paths, and not the aura of Hamura Ōtsutsuki.
Now that the information has been completed, Senju Nawaki has a better understanding.
The question now is whether the spirits worshipped by the Uzumaki clan were intentionally created by the Sage of Six Paths, or whether they escaped the Sage of Six Paths' control.
A backup plan set up in the ninja world.
The price of using the Shiki Fūjin is having one's soul harvested, which is similar to what the Sage of Six Paths did.
Is the demise of the Uzumaki clan related to the souls of the Ōtsutsuki clan?
There are still many secrets unknown throughout the ninja world.
"How interesting!"
A glint of fighting spirit flashed in Senju Nawaki's eyes.
Only a sage like him is worthy of being my opponent.
Using his Zenshigan, he found a gap in the barrier, and below lay Konohagakure.
Boo...
Easily breaking through the transparent membrane, entering the ninja world.
One reason is that by using the Zenshigan, we can find the weakness of the barrier, and this is precisely the weak point of the barrier.
On the other hand, no matter how high the level of evolution Senju Nawaki's body is, it is still a native creature and possesses the aura of the ninja world.
It just rained down a shower of spiritual energy for the ninja world.
Thanks to the Sage of Six Paths' warning, and with the help of the planet's will, this planet will not be wary of Senju Nawaki at all; on the contrary, it will welcome Senju Nawaki's return.
Senju Nawaki's contributions to the ninja world were enough to earn him its favor.
Looking up at the sky, I checked the time; the bright moon hung high, indicating it was nighttime.
"A familiar feeling, the whole world is welcoming me. It seems there are still secrets I don't know, which can allow my strength to continue to improve rapidly."
The entire planet is helping me comprehend power, especially the power of space.
Let's go back to Konohagakure first and see how things are going.
Senju Nawaki sensed the fluctuations of power within his body, but he was frustrated by the lack of a method for cultivation. Relying solely on his body's instincts to absorb and refine energy was far too slow.
The Ōtsutsuki clan is the best example to learn from.
What pleased Senju Nawaki the most was the degree of control he had over spatial power.
Originally, it could sense the power of space, reaching a critical point.
With the resonance he had just experienced with the ninja world, he instantly gained control and mastery over it.
...
[Name: Senju Nawaki (...)]
[Attributes: Power of all things (Yin power, Yang power, Water power, Interacting Forces, Spatial Power)]
Lacking the power of earth, lightning, fire, wind, time, and soul (…), he possesses all seven elemental chakra natures.
[Bloodline: The instinct of all living things and the ability to devour everything]
[Class: Cosmic Lifeform]
[Chakra: 1,329,621 chakra]
[Skills: Wood Release (Max), Various Ninjutsu (Advanced Mastery), Fūinjutsu (Advanced)]
[Passive: Scientific Acumen (Advanced)]
...
Spatial power appears within its own data template.
This was the first time he had comprehended a certain power of rules through his own efforts.
This now possesses a Zenshigan and a new eye technique, wielding unimaginable power.
Senju Nawaki dismissed the thoughts in his mind and stopped thinking about them.
Before that, let's solve the problem of Konohagakure.
Swish...
The space in front of him rippled like waves, with the Senju Nawaki blending into it.
The next time it appeared, it had already crossed space and was tens of kilometers away.
Swish...
Once again.
This time, the distance traveled reached several hundred kilometers.
He has already appeared in Konohagakure, and his appearance has changed to Uchiha Tajima.
"Now I admit that Minato Namikaze is qualified to become the Fourth Hokage."
Senju Nawaki was still savoring the pleasure he had just experienced.
Thinking back to the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, whom he had always looked down upon.
He was originally thought to be unqualified to become the Fourth Hokage.
Now it seems that he has mastered the Hiraishin no Jutsu and can play an extraordinary role, especially when he has sufficient chakra and has mastered sealing techniques.
For example, completing an assassination mission or carrying out a small-scale, low-weight resupply.
Its weaknesses are equally obvious; it lacks raw power and is essentially a weaker version of Tobirama Senju.
Whether it's strategy, chakra reserves, ninjutsu, or forbidden techniques, he's inferior to Tobirama in every aspect, no wonder he's being targeted.
Even when Tobirama Senju was being targeted by the Amegakure, he was able to seal the Hiraishin no Jutsu, yet he remained complacent and relied solely on the Hiraishin no Jutsu developed by Tobirama Senju.
Compared to the Kage of other ninja villages, he is already considered quite outstanding.
The Senju Nawaki, hidden in the darkness, floated above the Leaf Village, watching the scene before it.
Konohagakure was in a state of chaos, with most of its buildings destroyed and ninjas still engaged in battle.
The iconic Hokage Rock has lost all of the Third Hokage's portrait, and only the right side of the Second Hokage's face next to Hashirama Senju remains.
The only statue of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, is perfectly intact and even appears brighter, as if it has been cleaned.
Only Madara Uchiha, who carved Hashirama Senju's face on his chest, could have orchestrated such a destructive act.
A chill ran down my spine.
"Madara Uchiha has already been here?"
Wherever the Zenshigan can see, there are many White Zetsu hiding in the shadows, acting as Madara Uchiha's eyes and ears.
I didn't find Madara Uchiha. Maybe I just arrived at the right time and missed him.
However, with White Zetsu here, there's no need to worry about Madara Uchiha not coming to find him.
Senju Nawaki is paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield in Konohagakure.
The other Konohagakure ninja clans have already withdrawn from Konohagakure's territory.
Some ninja clans were also wiped out.
Among them, the Sarutobi family, the Shimura family, the Ino–Shika–Chō family, and the families close to Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane suffered devastating blows.
Inside Konohagakure.
Only two families remain.
The Uchiha clan retreated to the Naka Shrine and were imprisoned.
The entire Konohagakure became a battlefield for the Hyūga clan.
