Chapter 463 The Sage of Six Paths is Tortured and His Cheat Power is Stolen (The Final Countdown of the Book)
"What?! You're actually going to release Mother? No way! Absolutely not!"

“Brother, I understand your concerns, and I understand why you dragged me into sealing Mother away back then. Yes, Mother was extreme back then, and there were many things she couldn't accept. But were our actions right? As Mother's children, was it really right for us to use force to seal her away? No, I think we were wrong, because we didn't truly try to get Mother to change on her own before choosing to treat her with extreme measures. So, what happened back then was a huge mistake caused by our own wrongdoings.”

"What do you mean? Hamura, why are you saying this? Are you saying that you've fallen from grace too?"

"...It seems, elder brother, you really never thought you were wrong."

"I just did the right thing back then, don't you know that, Hamura?"

"...Yes, you are right...Indeed, without truly systematic learning, there are many things that even a wise elder brother like you cannot understand."

"Hamura, what are you trying to say?"

“What I mean is… elder brother, it’s time, it’s time for you to realize your true mistakes! Qi Jun!”

As the intense confrontation between Hamura Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths unfolded, Hamura Otsutsuki summoned Itachi Uchiha in the final moments, a pre-arranged plan between the two.

Uchiha Itachi immediately stepped forward, activating his Rinnegan, which startled the Sage of Six Paths. Before the Sage of Six Paths could do anything, Otsutsuki Hamura made his move, activating his Tenseigan and forcibly controlling the Sage of Six Paths' soul.

If the Sage of Six Paths were still alive, it would be very difficult for Hamura Otsutsuki to achieve this, because the Sage of Six Paths was indeed stronger than Hamura Otsutsuki. However, in this state of merely a soul, he would not be a match for Hamura Otsutsuki.

Moreover, Hamura Otsutsuki only wanted to control the Sage of Six Paths, not to actually harm him. Instead, he wanted to create an opportunity for Itachi Uchiha to forcibly pull the Sage of Six Paths into the genjutsu world.

Now that the conditions have been met, Uchiha activated his ability, instantly pulling the Sage of Six Paths into the mental network world.

Even the Sage of Six Paths, when under control, could not resist the forceful pulling of Uchiha Itachi.

After the Sage of Six Paths' consciousness was pulled in, Hamura Otsutsuki's consciousness immediately followed suit and entered the genjutsu world.

Then, what Hagoromo Otsutsuki saw was the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, staring in disbelief at his young body.

Not far away, Uchiha Kei watched with a smile, waiting for an interesting scene to unfold.

Outside, seeing that their elders and ancestors had entered the genjutsu world, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki exchanged a glance and then tacitly stepped forward, each standing to one side, activating a waiting and vigilance mode, patiently waiting to resolve their elders' 'psychological problems'.

In the mental network world, Hamura Otsutsuki had already explained the 'genjutsu world' to the Sage of Six Paths, who found it unbelievable and could not understand how a junior could create such a genjutsu world that surpassed the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Then, at the instruction of Ōtsutsuki Hamura, Uchiha Itachi directly used his authority as the master of the mental network world to take control of the Sage of Six Paths.

This enraged the Sage of Six Paths, who immediately rebuked the two and told them to stop.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain. The two of them didn't listen to him at all and just wanted to get on with their business. What followed was that they controlled the spirit of the Sage of Six Paths through this illusionary world, similar to how Itachi Uchiha controlled Kabuto Orochi in the original story. However, what Hamura Otsutsuki and Itachi Uchiha controlled was not a physical body, but the spirit of the Sage of Six Paths.

After completing this operation, Otsutsuki Hamura nodded to Uchiha Itachi. Once the latter understood, he immediately activated the game MOD mode, sending the Sage of Six Paths' consciousness into that special game world, allowing him to experience the vicissitudes of life and the hardships of all beings as those game characters.

In the words of Hamura Otsutsuki, he and his brother were too high and mighty to truly understand the thoughts and needs of ordinary people. That's why they always made decisions with a superior attitude, and that's why they ultimately failed.

In order to make his elder brother clearly realize his mistakes, he must experience life no longer as a high and mighty son of God, but as a mortal experiencing everything that truly belongs to ordinary people.

This is difficult for others, but for the mental network world with its abundant resources, it is exceptionally simple. Although it cannot be exactly the same as the real mortal world, life simulations and the like are very old formulas, which the mental network world can achieve.

Hamura Otsutsuki's plan was to have the Sage of Six Paths' consciousness constantly "reincarnate" in that genjutsu world, experiencing different lives in various ways, and feeling the joys, sorrows, pains, and struggles of mortals.

Only in this way can we truly understand the essence of life!

Well, it's basically the same as what Uchiha Itachi did to Uchiha Itachi, except that Uchiha Itachi was purely tortured, so he was destined for tragedy, while the Sage of Six Paths would struggle to survive in the process, and the outcome of each 'cycle' depended on the Sage of Six Paths' own performance.

When this was completed and the Sage of Six Paths was sent to the independent realm of the genjutsu world to begin the Great Reincarnation, Hamura Otsutsuki breathed a sigh of relief and then nodded to Itachi Uchiha.

Uchiha Kei immediately left the genjutsu world and then summoned the on-guard Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

Then, the Sage of Six Paths' spirit moved, controlled by Hamura Otsutsuki. At Itachi Uchiha's signal, Naruto and Sasuke each raised one hand, Naruto's right and Sasuke's left.

Then, the Sage of Six Paths' spiritual power surged, and as he raised his hands and placed them on Naruto and Sasuke's raised palms, his 'divine power' was activated, and then a situation similar to giving Naruto and Sasuke a power-up occurred, just like in the original story.

At this moment, both of them felt the extremely powerful Towa merge into their bodies, nourishing their entire being and automatically putting one of them into the posture from the time when they fought against Kaguya Otsutsuki in the original story.

Naruto is in Six Paths Sage Mode, while Sasuke Uchiha's left eye has become the Rinnegan.

Furthermore, Sasuke Uchiha's transformation wasn't limited to the Rinnegan; his body was also significantly enhanced, reaching a state comparable to Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode. However, this state didn't appear particularly remarkable, making it seem rather ordinary.

In the original work, after the final battle, Naruto Uzumaki lost his Six Paths Sage Mode, while Sasuke Uchiha, although he retained the Rinnegan, lost his Sage Body, which was comparable to Hashirama Senju's. It can be said that this extremely powerful form was a limited-time cheat.

However, here, Uchiha Itachi naturally wouldn't let this extremely powerful form become a temporary cheat, but rather make it a regular thing. Therefore, after entering this form, Uchiha Itachi directly told Naruto and Sasuke not to rush to experience the powerful new power, but to directly enter the genjutsu world to receive guidance from Otsutsuki Hamura. With the genjutsu world's ability to adjust the flow of time and simulate reality, they were to completely digest and integrate their current overpowered state, thus making it a regular overpowered power.

This was something that had been discussed beforehand, so Sasuke and Naruto didn't hesitate and immediately entered the genjutsu world.
