Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 160: Are the Six Sages Skilled in Sealing Techniques?

Ishihara ultimately concluded that to break through the limits of the ninja world, he must thoroughly research all of the world's powers, including the spirit particles that can bring about Shinigami Transformation.

"It seems that after reaching the Six Paths level, the Sage of Six Paths studied sealing techniques for some time. Then, he must have accidentally discovered the Afterworld, and used its power to cultivate himself toward becoming a Shinigami, right?"

With his right hand on his chin, Ishihara began to ponder.

"When I saw the Sage of Six Paths just now, his strength seemed to be slightly weaker than mine?

No, that's not it. He wasn't weaker; he was simply a bit slower in the process of Shinigami Transformation compared to me."

At that moment, Ishihara understood.

That guy intended to seal him here to accelerate his own Shinigami Transformation, preventing Ishihara from surpassing him!

As for why Kaguya wasn't allowed to come out, it was probably because the Sage feared Ishihara would discover even greater power through her, enabling him to freely enter and exit the Afterworld.

In an instant, Ishihara figured everything out. This was also why he couldn't stop midway during his journey to the Afterworld earlier.

"Good! Then next, let me study this seal first!"

As for the Tailed Beasts? With Uchiha Madara sealed, Orochimaru should be able to handle the task alone, right?

However, just as Ishihara was preparing to leave, Sasuke blocked his path.

"Hm? Sasuke? What do you want?"

"Sorry, but in this ninja world, one voice is enough."

Sasuke spoke with arrogance, his Rinnegan giving him confidence.

Right then, Naruto appeared beside Sasuke.

Naruto had been subtly instructed by the Sage of Six Paths to seal Ishihara!

Looking at the two "Children of Destiny" before him, Ishihara found it amusing.

Indra and Asura (Ashura) were nothing more than pawns in the hands of the Sage of Six Paths.

How pitiful.

But this was perfect—he could use this opportunity to study the power of sealing techniques they possessed.

With that thought, Ishihara crossed his arms and coldly said:

"Come at me together!"

After having his eyes taken, Nagato's aura weakened, as if he could die at any moment.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had already drained much of his life force, and using the Rinnegan had further exhausted him.

His life had long been nearing its end due to the Demonic Statue, and now that he had lost his Rinnegan, the little life he had left was fading fast.

Far off, Konan, who was locked in combat with Jiraiya, seemed to sense something. She hurriedly flew toward Nagato's location.

Seeing this, Jiraiya followed closely behind.

During their earlier battle, Jiraiya kept asking Konan what had happened, but she remained silent, as if she had become mute.

This only made Jiraiya more curious—what had happened back then, and where was Yahiko?

Soon, Konan saw Nagato lying on the ground.

"Nagato!"

Without a word, Konan rushed over and held Nagato in her arms, her face full of worry and shock.

Who could have taken Nagato's eyes and injured him like this?

Unforgivable!

"Nagato!"

Not far away, Jiraiya was stunned. Then, a deep sense of anger began to rise.

Nagato and Konan were once his disciples. Even though they were enemies and had just been fighting, if someone had hurt them and left Nagato in this state, Jiraiya would not let it slide.

Jiraiya slowly stepped forward as he thought to himself.

That schemer Danzo!

Looking up at Konan, Nagato smiled faintly. At this moment, he felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.

Though he was dying, being in Konan's arms and seeing her one last time was enough.

Yahiko, wait for me. I'll be with you soon.

"Nagato, what happened? Your eyes... and you—"

"Konan... I was ambushed. It was Danzo. He took my eyes..."

Nagato spoke slowly, and then his head tilted lifelessly to the side.

Jiraiya froze momentarily, and then his fists clenched tightly.

Danzo—that scheming, insidious man!

So it was Danzo who took Nagato's eyes. That man was indeed a dangerous figure!

"Konan, where is Yahiko?"

Jiraiya asked again. He felt that things weren't as simple as they appeared.

Why would Nagato know about Danzo?

Danzo was part of Konoha's Root, a shadowy figure few knew of.

Hearing this, Konan paused and looked at Jiraiya. She suppressed her anger and didn't lash out.

She knew Jiraiya wasn't involved in these matters. He simply wanted to protect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Danzo caused Yahiko's death."

After saying this, Konan flew away without another word. She didn't want to deal with Jiraiya any further.

At this moment, her hatred for Konoha was overwhelming.

She had only one goal now—to avenge Yahiko and Nagato.

After that, she would fulfill their unfinished dreams.

The first step was to gather the remaining members of the Akatsuki...
