"Reincarnation?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Indra looked a bit puzzled.
Sasuke smiled. "It's because you lost your final battle with Asura. He inherited the Ninshu, not you. But it wasn't due to a lack of strength on your part; it's because he gained the power of the Sage of Six Paths!"
"So, it's understandable that you lost!"
Lost!
He lost!
Indra looked reluctant to accept this outcome.
After all, he had been considered a genius since childhood, while Asura was just his dull-witted younger brother.
Why did he end up losing? Shouldn't it have been Asura, his dull-witted younger brother?
Sage of Six Paths, why did his father give all his power to his younger brother?
Why?
Could it be that in his father's eyes, his younger brother was more outstanding than him?
Then what was the meaning of everything he had done all along?
"So... my obsession led my chakra to continuously reincarnate in order to defeat Asura, right?"
It seemed Sasuke didn't need to elaborate; Indra already understood what had happened.
He glanced at Uchiha Madara.
No wonder he'd felt something off at first glance, as if Madara possessed a similar power to his own.
At first, he'd thought it was because of the Sharingan.
But once he grasped the concept of past and future, Indra understood immediately, in a sense.
These two people must both be his descendants.
But he hadn't expected them to be more than just descendants; they were also the reincarnations of his chakra.
"So, the person who fought him at the Valley of the End before, what was his name... Hashirama?"
"Hashirama Senju!" Madara added.
Indra nodded. "Right, Hashirama Senju. That guy is also the reincarnation of Asura's chakra, isn't he?"
"That's right!"
Sasuke nodded.
Madara was stunned for a moment. No wonder Hashirama's power was so great.
So, Hashirama was the reincarnation of Asura's chakra. Asura was the son of the Sage of Six Paths.
"Then, the reason Hashirama defeated me was also because he obtained the power of the Sage of Six Paths?"
Sasuke smiled. "No!"
"The reason Hashirama defeated you was because of his own talent. Although he is the reincarnation of Asura's chakra, he isn't Asura."
"He merely possessed Asura's chakra. Hashirama was also a gifted individual who discovered the power of Wood Release, which, combined with Asura's chakra, made him incredibly powerful!"
Hearing this, Madara's expression darkened slightly.
In other words, was he truly inferior to Hashirama?
"What about you!"
Indra suddenly asked Sasuke.
Hearing this question, Madara also looked at Sasuke curiously.
"I won."
Sasuke said indifferently, as if the outcome didn't matter to him at all.
Indra smiled.
Madara seemed a little unconvinced. "Why were you able to win? Did the Sage of Six Paths suddenly have a change of heart and give you power this time?"
Speaking of this, even Indra was a little suspicious. He had indeed felt a power similar to that of the Sage of Six Paths emanating from Sasuke.
"No! Just like before, the Sage of Six Paths gave all his power to Naruto!"
"Naruto?"
Sasuke replied, "The Asura of this generation is named Naruto!"
"Since the Sage of Six Paths gave his power to Asura again, why were you still able to win?"
Sasuke smiled.
"Because I obtained a new power. So what if I don't have the power of the Sage of Six Paths?"
"Who said you must have the power of the Sage of Six Paths?"
Saying this, Sasuke slowly opened his eyes.
His Sharingan, now bearing eight tomoe, activated. The sudden burst of ocular power stunned both Indra and Madara.
Because at that moment, they felt as if their bodies had been frozen.
This feeling was very strange!
This power... it's terrifying!
Why does Sasuke's Sharingan have so many tomoe?
"Is this the new power you obtained?"
Indra asked, very surprised. "How did you do it?"
"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure of the specific reason myself. Even without breaking the Bloodline Limit, I mastered the power of the Six Paths, just like the Sage of Six Paths."
"Actually, Naruto is no longer my opponent."
Hearing this, Indra looked at Sasuke with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Breaking the Bloodline Limit.
This statement might not seem significant.
But in reality, it's not that easy!
"The Bloodline Limit! Can it still be broken?"
Madara asked.
Sasuke retorted, "Who said it couldn't be done?"
Uh!
It seems no one had actually said it was impossible.
But under normal circumstances, who would even think of such a thing?
"Lord Sasuke's talent is unprecedented, and I'm afraid only Lord Sasuke can accomplish such a feat!"
Kimimaro said from the side.
Madara was still concerned. "Who are these two guys?"
"Byakugan? Are they from the Hyuga clan?"
Hearing this, Sasuke smiled. "No, they aren't from the Hyuga clan. They only obtained the Byakugan because they integrated the power of the Otsutsuki clan's bloodline!"
Integrated the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan?
What does this mean?
Indra observed Kimimaro and Jugo. "They're very strong. I can sense powerful chakra fluctuations coming from them. Their strength shouldn't be less than mine!"
Sasuke smiled. "In terms of true combat power, they might not be your equal, but in unconventional states, they are indeed not below you!"
(It's important not to underestimate Indra; he was someone who could compete with Asura, and that Asura possessed the power of the Sage of Six Paths...)
The concept is completely different.
Asura's strength was already basically comparable to the Sage of Six Paths.
And Indra lost to such an Asura, so his true strength was terrifying.
Although Kimimaro and Jugo both integrated the Otsutsuki clan's Bloodline Limit, they do possess a power level comparable to the Six Paths.
But it's hard to say how much of that power they can unleash.
So everything still depends on the actual situation.
"Have we arrived at that place?"
Sasuke suddenly stopped.
The Sound Village had arrived.
And even before they entered the Sound Village,
Orochimaru had already arrived at the village entrance early to welcome Sasuke.
"Welcome back, Sasuke!"
Orochimaru's current appearance had changed significantly from before, but the most notable difference was his increased strength.
Through his pursuits, coupled with advancements in technology and his own breakthroughs in biotechnology, and the effects of ninjutsu,
Orochimaru seemed to have achieved what he had always imagined: immortality!
Even if his current body were to die, he could transfer to a new one at any time.
Orochimaru looked at Sasuke, who appeared just as he had during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
"Did you know I was coming?"
Sasuke asked.
Orochimaru nodded. "The second day you appeared in Konoha, I received the news."
"I figured you would come back to find me sooner or later, and I've finally waited for you!"
Saying this, Orochimaru glanced at the few people beside Sasuke.
Although Jugo and Kimimaro looked slightly different, Orochimaru recognized them instantly.
But while Madara was familiar, Indra surprised Orochimaru.
Who is this person whose aura is so similar to Sasuke's?
"He is... Indra."
Indra?
The son of the Sage of Six Paths?
Could it be that even the son of the Sage of Six Paths... has been summoned to this time?
