Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Peering into the Future, Kyosuke at Six Paths Level?
Read 20+ Chapter's Ahead in Patreon
The rulers of the three great sage regions all possess uniquely powerful abilities.
The Toad Sage can foresee the future, glimpsing certain events that are destined to happen.
The White Snake Sage has a similar ability, but hers is more focused on specific targets.
Whenever a human enters the Ryuchi Cave, she activates her power as a way of screening potential targets.
Before Kyosuke left, the White Snake Sage had already activated her power, causing time to leap forward several decades.
What she saw was a vast, desolate land, with a blood moon hanging in the sky. The eerie light illuminated the figure of a man holding a sage staff.
Eight Truth–Seeking Orbs floated quietly behind him as he stood in mid-air, gazing at the stars.
The White Snake Sage was shocked; she never expected that the young boy could reach such a level.
As someone who had witnessed the battle between the Ōtsutsuki brothers during the Six Paths era, she knew what kind of destructive power they had.
Indra and Ashura were incredibly strong, standing at the pinnacle of human power, but they were still far below their father.
Kyosuke was the descendant of Indra, not even a host of the reincarnation chakra. How could he possibly awaken such a god-like form?
Curious, the White Snake Sage decided to observe more closely.
Although she could not see everything from the future through her limited control over time, she could still deduce some things based on the brief moments she saw.
"The blood moon... This doesn't look like the ninja world."
"His eyes... they seem to contain some unusual transformation."
What struck her the most was the vast field of corpses beneath the man's feet, as if the entire earth had been turned into a mountain of bodies.
Kyosuke of the future stood atop this sea of blood and corpses, looking up at the stars.
"Looks like it's about time." A hoarse voice echoed as the entire land began to shake.
With a snap, the future Kyosuke clasped his hands together and shouted, "God—Earth Explosion Star!"
Thousands of years ago, to seal their mother Kaguya, the Six Paths brothers created the moon.
But in the future, Kyosuke was able to create nine massive celestial bodies the size of the moon all by himself.
The ground split open, the heavens cried out, and it felt as though the entire world trembled at his command.
"Have you seen enough?"
The sudden question left the White Snake Sage stunned.
Were there still enemies around?
She couldn't see anyone else on the shattered land.
As she was processing this, she was shocked to see the man turn around and look directly at her.
"You... you..."
"I'm asking if you've seen enough."
"How could you sense my presence?!"
She was completely stunned.
When peering through the river of time to view someone's past or future, it was like watching a movie—there was no interaction between the two. If she wanted, she could even freeze time.
But now, the character in the movie had suddenly "seen" her and was asking if she had seen enough. It was ridiculous.
Before she could respond, the future Kyosuke raised his hand, and the Sage Staff transformed into a blade that cleaved through the endless river of time.
For the first time, the White Snake Sage felt the fear of death.
"Ah!"
A scream woke her from the illusion. She barely managed to prop herself up, as if still caught in the effects of her power.
At the last moment, she had successfully broken the illusion, so the mysterious sword strike had no real effect on her.
Feeling a sense of relief, she turned to her three daughters and saw them watching her in fear.
Her snake head lowered, and she noticed a massive wound running across her body.
"This..."
She didn't feel any pain, as the structure of her serpent body was different from that of humans, especially since she was a white snake who had trained for thousands of years.
However, it was unheard of for someone to injure her through the river of time.
In theory, this should be impossible, unless the person also wielded time-based powers.
This was the only way to explain how she had been exposed.
"A human couldn't possibly..."
"Right, that eye of his... It's the power granted by Indra's bloodline!"
"Damn Indra, I shouldn't have let you go so easily back then."
Irritated for a moment, the White Snake Sage quickly regained her composure and began considering how to handle the Uchiha boy in the future.
Even though she had been struck by a sword, she felt strangely happy.
This boy's future achievements were so high that forming a connection now would surely make him a protector of the Ryuchi Cave in the future.
The ninja world wasn't safe, and she understood that better than anyone.
That Ōtsutsuki who had narrowly escaped death back then, and Kaguya, who was still waiting for a resurrection after thousands of years of silence.
She knew the dangers that still lurked—such as the toad and the Ōtsutsuki brothers secretly plotting behind the scenes.
She was also fully aware of the disgusting slug of the Shikkotsu Forest and what it hid.
The great battle from a thousand years ago was just the beginning; the real threat had not yet come.
The Six Paths brothers had plans in place. If they were unable to face the external dangers, they would reunite the Ten Tails or even release their mother Kaguya to fight.
The White Snake Sage knew all of this. She also understood that, one day, war would come to the Ryuchi Cave.
If they weren't prepared, they would truly become a snake on the chopping block.
"Fortunately, he has already signed the scroll. He is technically a contract holder of the Ryuchi Cave."
She thought about it carefully and realized that simply having a contract might not be enough.
Her vertical pupils scanned her three daughters, and a thought suddenly crossed her mind.
Humans are sexual beings, and the strong often have many different partners.
She was considering whether to offer her daughters to the boy.
If one wasn't enough, then perhaps all three would suffice.
"Better to bear offspring. That way, the Ryuchi Cave won't have any worries."
The scenes in the time illusion had left a deep impression on her.
In order to win the favor of the Uchiha boy, she was willing to give up even her daughters, who had served her for thousands of years.
She wondered what Kyosuke would think if he knew all of this.
At this moment, he was using the "tools" given by the White Snake Sage to search for the kidnapped children of the Ryuchi Cave.
By dripping the child blood onto the scroll, he would perform a reverse summoning to bring them back.
"Seems like it's not that difficult after all."
