Chapter 1051: Is Yecheng the Reincarnation of the Sage of the Six Paths?
Chapter 1051: Is Yecheng the Reincarnation of the Sage of the Six Paths?
Before his body completely sank into the ground, Fugaku Uchiha looked at Yecheng's crimson Yin-Yang Fish Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and was genuinely horrified.
Although Yecheng had surprised him many times before, none of those instances had been as shocking as this one!
The Uzumaki clan's Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan, could be transplanted to outsiders, but without Uzumaki blood, they couldn't freely activate or deactivate it. The Sharingan, when always active, would consume a large amount of chakra.
Yecheng was a member of the Senju clan, and Fugaku Uchiha was absolutely certain of this. After all, though Yecheng was younger, they had met many times before, both being ninjas of Konohagakure.
Moreover, Yecheng was a genius of the Senju clan, the only ninja in the entire ninja world, aside from Hashirama Senju, to awaken the Wood Release ability on his own.
In the past, the Senju clan had many members, but only Yecheng had awakened Wood Release, which attested to the purity of his Senju blood.
But what had Fugaku Uchiha just seen? A genius of the Senju clan had activated the Sharingan right in front of him!
And not just any Sharingan, but the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!
The Sharingan was the Uzumaki clan's Kekkei Genkai, but not all clan members could awaken it. In the past, among Konoha's Uzumaki clan, only about half could activate the Sharingan, and those who reached the three-tomoe stage were extremely rare.
As for the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, throughout the history of the Uzumaki clan, the number of those who could awaken it could be counted on one hand.
After all, once someone awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, they were almost certain to be on par with a Kage-level ninja.
Fugaku Uchiha had learned about the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan from the clan's records and had sacrificed a great deal to try to awaken it. Now, an outsider like Yecheng possessed the same eyes, which was almost unbearable for Fugaku!
Seeing Yecheng's eyes, Fugaku, who held the Uzumaki clan's honor above everything, wanted to turn back and ask Yecheng what was going on.
However, Kuro would never allow such a suicidal move. He immediately invoked Uzumaki Madara to suppress Fugaku.
Come on, with Uzumaki Madara, the most important piece in his plan, not yet revived, Fugaku Uchiha was the strongest ninja he had at his disposal. If Fugaku were to run back and confront Yecheng, Kuro's centuries of planning would be ruined!
Unfortunately, when his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki divided her inheritance, Hagoromo inherited her Rinnegan, and Hamura inherited her Byakugan, while Kuro got nothing. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a helpless position now.
Apart from outliving Hagoromo and Hamura and his considerable intelligence, the weak Kuro had no other choice but to manipulate and use others.
While Kuro was also surprised by Yecheng's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he remained much calmer than Fugaku.
After all, compared to Yecheng's strength and the threat he posed, a pair of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan didn't seem like a big deal to Kuro.
Only someone like Fugaku Uchiha, who saw the Uzumaki clan as everything and believed himself to be the clan's savior, would be so fixated on this matter.
However, Yecheng's identity and background were indeed highly suspicious.
In the past, Kuro had always thought that Yecheng was just a rare intelligent member of the Asura clan, who had found clues in the Senju clan's records and deduced that Uzumaki Madara had only faked his death.
It wasn't until today, when Yecheng mentioned his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, that Kuro finally realized he might have underestimated this Senju Yecheng.
During the Third Ninja World War, Kuro had even suspected that Yecheng was the reincarnation of Asura, and that Uzumaki Tobi or Fugaku was the reincarnation of Indra.
However, it wasn't until Naruto and Sasuke appeared that he revised his thoughts, reclassifying Yecheng as an ordinary Senju clan genius, albeit with exceptional analytical and observational skills.
But Yecheng's performance today has raised Kuro's vigilance to an extreme!
Kuro is now even beginning to suspect that Yecheng might be the reincarnation of the Sage of the Six Paths himself!
After all, Asura and Indra were both sons of the Sage of the Six Paths, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, and their powers were inherited from the Sage. Therefore, if Yecheng is indeed the Sage of the Six Paths reincarnated, it would make sense to Kuro that he could possess both "Wood Release" and "Sharingan."
Moreover, Yecheng's knowledge of Kaguya Otsutsuki adds to Kuro's suspicion that he might be the Sage of the Six Paths reincarnated.
Kuro can confirm that the Sage of the Six Paths, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, is indeed dead. If he were still alive, Kuro wouldn't have had the audacity to cause such chaos.
Since Asura and Indra, who were merely the Sage's sons, could have reincarnations, why couldn't the Sage of the Six Paths himself have a reincarnation?
This thought, once it entered Kuro's mind, became uncontrollable, and the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
"Fugaku, the most important thing now isn't to worry about how this Senju Yecheng obtained the Sharingan. It's our Moon Eye Plan. Even if he has the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, no matter how powerful he is, he won't be able to resist the Moon Eye's genjutsu unless he elevates the Sharingan to its final stage.
Although Naruto was eventually rescued, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path has already extracted enough Nine-Tails Chakra from him. Combined with the Nine-Tails Chakra from Kinkaku and Ginkaku, it's more than enough. Now we just need to see if Sasuke has succeeded in capturing the Three-Tails."
Just as Kuro and Fugaku were discussing whether Sasuke had successfully captured the Three-Tails, a figure suddenly appeared beside them.
Seeing Sasuke, who was injured and weak, holding an unconscious woman, Fugaku and Kuro both smiled satisfactorily.
But just as Fugaku summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to extract the Three-Tails' chakra from Rin, the statue hadn't even taken a few breaths before the unconscious "Rin" transformed into one of Isobu's tails.
"Damn it, he used such a trick to escape!"
Seeing the tail of Isobu where Rin should have been, Sasuke's face contorted with anger. He was about to return to Konoha when Fugaku stopped him.
"Senju Yecheng and the others have already returned to Konoha. Going there now would be suicide.
Even though it's just one of Isobu's tails, it still contains a significant portion of the Three-Tails' chakra. While it's not complete, it's enough to ensure the successful revival of the Ten-Tails."
The missing chakra from the Three-Tails was compensated by the Nine-Tails Chakra extracted from Naruto, so the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path now has just enough tailed beast chakra to revive the Ten-Tails.
