Chapter 860 The road ahead and confusion

After saying hello to Kaoru Soda and leaving the hospital, Shinji secretly checked the status of Neji and Kimimaro.

In the previous battle in the Chuunin Examination, although Neji and Kimimaro used the 'Tenseigan', the duration was very short and they avoided the perception of the giant Tenseigan on the moon, so there was no trouble.

In the days after the war, the two of them kept a very low profile.

Neji almost never left home and stayed in the Hyuga clan to practice Taijutsu.

Kimimaro didn't go out much. The only time he came into contact with outsiders was when Kabuto Yakushi came to him secretly and contacted him to try to rescue Orochimaru.

Of course.

Because no suitable opportunity has been found, Kabuto Yakushi's rescue plan has been put on hold for the time being.

But this is normal. Orochimaru himself is an S-level rebellious ninja. In this battle, he even used the forbidden technique of "Reincarnation in the Earth" to channel the deceased first and second generation Hokage from the underworld. The crimes he committed and the threat he poses to the village have both reached a new upper limit, so the village supervises him very strictly.

Not to mention Kabuto Yakushi, not even Danzo, the advisory elder who had regained some of his rights, could not rescue Orochimaru.

So after contacting Kimimaro, Kabuto Yakushi left Konoha in a hurry, seemingly looking for other rescue methods.

In the evening, after eating a bowl of ramen on the street, Shinji returned to his apartment.

After a brief wash, he sat at the desk, supporting his head with his hands and looking at the night view of Konoha outside the window, while thinking about his next move.

Several months have passed, and he still doesn't know if Demon Slayer is still there.

Although the Fear Overlord has not yet attacked the ninja world, Shinji has a feeling that the Fear Overlord is getting closer and closer to the ninja world.

"You must at least reach the level of 'Six Paths' before you have any chance of confronting the overlord!"

Shinji assessed in his heart.

He has seen the power of the overlord. In front of the overlord, the whole world is just a meal. Therefore, if this is used as a benchmark, he must at least have the strength to destroy a world. Only in front of the overlord can he have the ability to compete. .

But even though Otsutsuki Kaguya, who had the 'Blood Successor Snare', fought for several months with Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura, a pair of 'sixth level' brothers, he still could not completely destroy the ninja world. , it can be seen that destroying a world is not as easy as imagined!

In other words, the 'Six Paths Level' is the lowest threshold for destroying a world. If you can't even reach the 'Six Paths Level', it means you haven't even reached the threshold.

Having said that, it is not easy to be promoted to the 'Six Paths Level'.

Shinji has been planning hard for so long, and finally opened the 'Reincarnation Eye'. He is considered a figure in the ninja world, but he is still far away from the 'Six Paths Level'.

"Is there still a road ahead?"

Shinji asked himself secretly.

Different from the previous stage when he had a clear goal of opening the 'Reincarnation Eye', now that he had opened the 'Reincarnation Eye', he fell into confusion.

Because he no longer knows how to continue to improve his strength.

There was a bottomless gap between the peak of the Kage level and the 'Six Paths level'. Apart from resurrecting the Ten-Tails and taking the risk of becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, he really couldn't think of any way to cross this gap.

"Hey, Ten-Tails." He sighed.

Not to mention the difficulty of snatching the Ten-Tails from the hands of the Akatsuki organization, even if he is lucky enough to succeed and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he will still be in danger of being resurrected by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

In the original time and space, Uchiha Madara, who had become the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, was the unquestionable strongest person in the ninja world at that time.

But such a strong man completely lost control of his body due to a sneak attack by Hei Zetsu. All the chakra in his body, along with his body, was sacrificed to Kaguya Otsutsuki and became Otsutsuki. A sacrifice for Kaguya's resurrection.

The water here is so deep that Shinji shudders every time he thinks about it.

Because he couldn't confirm whether Uchiha Madara's failure was because Black Zetsu's sneak attack was too deadly, or because as long as he became the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, he would bear some unpredictable risks.

Recall that the "Six Paths Sage" first divided the Ten-Tails into two parts, the body and the soul, and then sealed the "Outer Demon Image" that was the body of the Ten-Tails on the moon, and then sealed the Ten-Tails' body. The soul was divided into nine and divided into the nine tailed beasts it is today.

If the 'Six Paths Sage' wasn't worried about something, it would be difficult to explain why he split the Ten-Tails into such fragments!

Shinji had been avoiding this question before, not because he did not foresee the danger, but because besides the Ten-Tails, he could not think of any other way to advance to the 'Six Paths Level'.

For example, he had considered Beilihu's 'Blood Inheritance Ceremony'.

First of all, there are very obvious flaws in Beilihu's 'Blood Fusion Ceremony'. Such flaws mean that the upper limit of the ritual will not be too high.

Facts also proved Shinji's judgment.

Beilihu and Ranmaru, who have completed the 'Blood Succession Ceremony', have both reached the Kage level in terms of hard power, and even the Strong Shadow level.

But that's it, they haven't been able to cross the gap between the Shadow Level and the Six Paths Level.

As for finding a way to perfect Beilihu's 'Blood Successor Fusion Ceremony', if Shinji had twelve or twenty years left, he would definitely try it, but unfortunately, he didn't have so much time.

However, things are unpredictable, and no one expected that at this critical period, Shinji would meet Wuming.

The nameless 'Eight Thousand Spears' gave him a new idea, a new hope of hitting the 'Six Paths Level' in addition to becoming a Ten-Tails Jinchūriki.

Because of this, Shinji, who was originally very determined, fell into confusion, because a new road appeared in front of him!

Compared with becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, this path is undoubtedly safer.

But unlike becoming the Ten-Tailed Jinchuuriki, who is guaranteed to be promoted to the 'Sixth Level', the prospects of this path cannot be predicted based on his current ability. He may have been busy for a long time, but in the end it was all in vain.

"No matter what, if you can improve your strength, just improve it!"

After weighing it up, Shinji made up his mind.

Investing in the 'Eight Thousand Spears' may not ensure that he will be promoted to the 'Sixth Level', but at least he can be sure that the 'Eight Thousand Spears' will definitely improve his strength.

You must know that at his current level, it is extremely difficult to improve every point of strength. This is no longer something that can be achieved by practicing alone.

If he still has to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki in the end, having more strength will at least help him protect himself when encountering changes.

The first update is here!
