Chapter 1155: The Sage of Six Paths Receives a Mission!
Ninja World.
It was designated 'No. 0006' by the World Government, with the code name 'Ninja World'.
At this time, the changes in Konohagakure were neither big nor small. After all, it had only been a few months since the World Government conquered this place. However, Konohagakure had already been renamed Konoha Ninja Sect.
For the residents living in the village, the biggest feeling was that there were fewer familiar faces and more strangers. This was because most of the ninja clan members from Konohagakure had moved to the Sea Star, and a large number of ninja and clan members from other former ninja villages had flooded in.
However, as life continued day by day, the unfamiliar became familiar. The original tense atmosphere also gradually dissipated.
Besides this, they could no longer see the Konoha ninja wearing green vests and jumping around on the rooftops. They were replaced by a group of Ninja Sect members wearing simple white robes with varying numbers of black tomoe printed on the front, on either side.
This was the current Ninja Sect Leader, Otsutsuki Hamura. Under the premise of preserving the Ninja Sect style from back then, rules were formulated corresponding to the rank division system of the Sea Ninja Villages.
One black tomoe represented a Genin, two black tomoe represented an Elite Genin, and so on. When there were six black tomoe on either side of the white robe, they were Elite Jonin.
As for the levels above that, because the Ninja Sect did not have Five Ministers, nor any Kage-level ninja, there was no need for further design.
As for Otsutsuki Hamura himself, as the Ninja Sect Leader. In addition to the six black tomoe on his front, he also had nine black tomoe on his back, as well as multiple rings similar to the Rinnegan.
This was also the style of clothing Otsutsuki Hagoromo wore when he was the Ninja Sect Leader back then.
At this time, it was just past nine in the morning, and the sunlight was bright. Because it had rained last night, the air carried a comfortable coolness. The sky was even a clear blue, clean and pleasing to the eye.
The residents who had started their activities on the streets all wore faint smiles on their faces. They seemed to have long forgotten the fear and panic from when Aramaki and the Nine-Tails attacked.
Several months had passed, and they had even gotten somewhat used to using Berry, this new currency. After all, it was just paper money; they only needed to understand its denomination and purchasing power.
Or perhaps, this was something everyone had to force themselves to get used to. After all, it was now the era of the World Government's rule over the Ninja World!
In the office that originally belonged to the Hokage, Otsutsuki Hamura was reviewing the document in his hand. And on the tabletop in front of him, stacks of paper were piled up. It was exactly the same scene as in Sengoku's office.
The establishment of the new Ninja Sect, the construction of the ninja school, the renovation of the village, interactions with Loulan, connections with the Sea Ninja Villages, and conflicts between various ninja clans...
All of these became tasks weighing down on him. Fortunately, Otsutsuki Hamura, who had been idle for nearly a thousand years, found joy in this. Coupled with his body and energy being sufficient to support him for long periods of work, and the help of Senju Tobirama, whom he appointed as advisor. So, although the workload was large, the efficiency of processing it was also very fast.
However, Senju Tobirama had gone to the original Land of Fire Capital to inspect the campus construction progress of the 'Fire Release Comprehensive Ninja High School' on-site. Jiraiya, who was appointed principal by the World Government, was also there.
So now, only Otsutsuki Hamura was in the office.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, he sharply raised his head, his pure Byakugan looking towards the opposite side of the table. As expected, a familiar figure began to materialize before his eyes.
"Older Brother?" Otsutsuki Hagoromo nodded with a smile: "It seems you're doing quite well here."
"Yes, I like this kind of life where I'm busy and watch the Ninja World get better day by day." Otsutsuki Hamura readily admitted, a hint of excitement flickering in his eyes.
He then asked curiously: "By the way, have you found that Otsutsuki Isshiki?"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo did not hide the matters concerning Otsutsuki Isshiki and Jigen from him. This also included the matter of himself becoming Im's subordinate god.
So these days, Otsutsuki Hamura had also dispatched quite a few Ninja Sect ninja to help search for Jigen's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, apart from finding some clues in a few temples, there were no other major discoveries.
However, Otsutsuki Hamura and Otsutsuki Hagoromo were not in a hurry either. It had only been a few days; how could it be so easy to find an Otsutsuki clan member who was deliberately hiding?
But as long as the opponent was still in the Ninja World, they would be found sooner or later...
"No, whether it's 'Sukunahikona' or 'Daikokuten' that he controls, it's too easy for him to hide." Indeed, Otsutsuki Hagoromo shook his head and denied it.
"Compared to this, there is a more important matter at hand. That Lord Imu has given me my first mission."
"What!" Otsutsuki Hamura's heart was startled, and he quickly asked: "What mission?"
"To go to a world called the 'Falmart Continent' together with the World Government's Underworld Army unit, deal with the God of the Underworld there, and while we're at it, figure out their strength level." Otsutsuki Hagoromo said the mission content with a solemn expression.
"Falmart... Oh, that's the continent with the provisional code name 'Special Zone World'. I did hear that the World Government suffered some losses there..." Otsutsuki Hamura said thoughtfully.
"That is to say, the World Government is still unclear about the strength of those gods, so they're asking you, Older Brother, to go and gauge their depth. This risk is not small; after all, the opponents are a group of gods."
Although Otsutsuki Hagoromo said his mission was just to deal with one God of the Underworld. But who knew if the other gods would come to help?
"Older Brother, do you want me to go with you? No problem!" But Otsutsuki Hagoromo shook his head again:
"No, I'll go by myself. This way, even if something unexpected happens, you'll still be here to hold down the fort in the Ninja World."
Seeing worry appear on his younger brother's face, as if he wanted to say something, he immediately continued:
"You don't need to worry too much. There should also be some experts on the World Government's Underworld Army side. That Yama Hall Master is quite good."
"Oh, so you came here this time, Older Brother, just to tell me about this matter?" Otsutsuki Hamura gave a long sigh.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo said: "Besides that, I also want to take those few ninja tools."
"You mean Kōkinjō and the others?"
"Yes, Kōkinjō, Seven Star Sword, Benihisago, Bashōsen, Amber Purifying Pot, I'm taking them all!"
Otsutsuki Hamura was very surprised to hear this.
"Are these things useful to you?"
Although the 'Six Paths Ninja Tools' are very powerful things for ninja. But for me and Older Brother, they should only be considered toys.
"Heh heh, these things are different in other people's hands than in mine. The reason the Six Paths Ninja Tools are called by this name is because they require Six Paths Power to activate and unleash their true strength."
Otsutsuki Hamura looked meaningfully at Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
The latter fell silent. Because he remembered the origin of these things.
These things were actually not created by Older Brother from scratch. Rather, during his time as the 'Ten-Tails Jinchuriki', Older Brother used the 'Power of All Creation' to modify the relics of the Tengu Sage that Kaguya had preserved.
The Tengu Sage was the original strongest in the Ninja World.
Whether it was the 'sage art' cultivated at the Fire Temple or the 'sage jutsu' from the Three Great Sage Regions, they all originated from him.
If Otsutsuki Kaguya and Otsutsuki Isshiki had not descended back then. Then this Ninja World would likely have headed down the path of 'cultivation'.
Humans would control the natural energy from the outside world, while wild beasts would absorb natural energy.
Eventually, the former also gradually mastered the technology of absorbing it into their bodies.
Allowing their bodies to evolve in various aspects, and their lifespan would be as long as the current Holy Land Sages.
"Alright, I'll have someone send all the Six Paths Ninja Tools over."
Then Otsutsuki Hamura asked: "So next, Older Brother, are you going to the Sea Star's Underworld?"
"Yes, I need to meet with that Yama Hall Master first to further understand the situation of that world." After speaking, Otsutsuki Hagoromo mentioned another person: "This time, I plan to take Roger with me."
"Him?" Otsutsuki Hamura was very surprised.
"Yes, although he said he doesn't want to combat for the World Government, I can see that he's been very lonely ever since Madara left, after all, you killed all his partners..."
Hearing Older Brother's words, Otsutsuki Hamura's corner of mouth twitched.
"At that time, both sides were in a hostile relationship, there's nothing wrong with that, right?"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo smiled: "I didn't say you were wrong, but Roger is a talent and is willing to stay in our Pure Land."
"So I want him to act as a guard and participate in this otherworld battle with me."
"Whatever, but since you're taking guards, don't just take him alone. You are the Sage of Six Paths after all, take two more ninja from the Pure Land." Otsutsuki Hamura waved his hand and gave a suggestion.
"Okay." Otsutsuki Hagoromo thought about it and felt it made sense.
A moment later, he got the Six Paths Ninja Tools and immediately disappeared from the office.
Only Otsutsuki Hamura remained, turning to look out the window and gaze at the blue sky.
"You must come back safely, Older Brother..."
