Naruto: Inheriting the Legacy of a Person Who Traveled Through Time

Chapter 75 The Six Paths Immortal's Stele

Two incredibly agile figures leaped high into the air, clearing the high walls of Konoha in a single bound, and disappeared into the dense forest outside the village.

"Mr. Itachi, are you alright?"

Sensing that Itachi Uchiha was clearly struggling and showing signs of fatigue, Kisame Hoshigaki asked him with concern.

"It's nothing, I just need to find a place to rest right away."

A few beads of sweat glistened on Itachi Uchiha's face, clearly indicating that his physical condition was not as relaxed as he had claimed.

Not only Tsukuyomi, but Amaterasu has also been used; this time, the dosage will probably have to be increased.

Sasuke, grow stronger quickly, I can't hold on much longer —

Black flames?

Jiraiya crouched down, carefully examining the wisps of flame still burning on the water's surface, his eyes filled with scrutiny.

Even though the black flames were no longer being controlled, Jiraiya still felt a slight threat.

After thinking for a moment, Jiraiya took out a scroll from his pocket and a brush, and wrote twisted sealing runes all over the blank scroll.

"Sealing Technique: Fire Sealing Seal"

Jiraiya quickly formed hand seals, causing the runes on the scroll to glow faintly. Wisps of white smoke rose up, as if an invisible hand had landed on the scattered black flames nearby, gathering them and sending them flying onto the scroll.

A blood-red character for "seal" took shape in the center of the scroll. The intense heat gradually subsided, allowing Jiraiya to put the scroll into his pocket.

"Are you alright?"

Having completed all this, Jiraiya stood up, his gaze sweeping over the chaotic battlefield before landing on Kakashi and the others.

"It's alright. Thanks to Tetsuya's Wood Release, we weren't forced to confront those Mangekyou Sharingan directly. Otherwise, you might only be seeing my corpse by now."

Kakashi pulled down his headband to cover his crimson Sharingan, his face full of self-mockery.

Back when Itachi Uchiha first joined the Anbu, he was once a member of Kakashi's team. He never expected that Kakashi's strength would far surpass his own now.

The moment Itachi Uchiha activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, Kakashi clearly felt the chakra pressure that only Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya possessed. If Itachi had wanted to, Kakashi estimated that he would have been killed in an instant.

"While the Mangekyou Sharingan is incredibly powerful, overuse can lead to vision and physical problems. Itachi Uchiha has used two different eye techniques in quick succession, so he probably won't be infiltrating Konoha anytime soon."

Tetsuya, standing to the side, added a comment that surprised Jiraiya.

"Is this really true?"

Seeing the suspicion on Jiraiya's face, Tetsuya, who had deliberately brought up the matter, chimed in.

"Since you two, Jiraiya-sama and Kakashi-sensei, are free right now, how about we go somewhere together?"

After saying that, Tetsuya leaped up and headed towards the former Uchiha clan's territory.

Jiraiya and Kakashi exchanged a glance, gave a few instructions to the ninja beside them, and then immediately followed.

In front of a slightly old wooden house that had been untouched for a long time, three figures were surveying their surroundings.

This is the Nanka Shrine built by the Uchiha clan.

Jiraiya looked up at the Uchiha clan crest on the door, which had become blurred, and a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.

This large area was once the former territory of the Uchiha clan. In a sense, it could be considered a country within a country in Konoha. Apart from the Uchiha clan, neither villagers nor ninjas would set foot here.

Twelve years ago, the Nine-Tails' rampage broke out in Konoha. Many ninjas saw the three-tomoe jade appear in the eyes of the demon fox that ravaged the village. This was the fuse that completely ignited the split between the Konoha leadership and the Uchiha clan. Therefore, at Danzo's suggestion, the Konoha leadership used the pretext of rebuilding Konoha to relocate the Uchiha clan's territory to a corner of the village, further deepening the rift between the two sides.

So, Tetsuya found the information about the Mangekyou Sharingan from here?

Tetsuya reached out and pushed open the wooden door in front of him. Then, he opened his palm, and a wooden strip grew out of his palm, with a ball of flame emerging from the top, dispelling the darkness inside the house.

As he ascended the spiral staircase into the basement, Tetsuya flicked his wrist, splitting the torch flame in two, which landed on two fire pits.

This is----

On the stone walls on both sides of the basement were murals whose meanings were unknown. On the wall directly in front were two huge Uchiha clan symbols. At the end of the basement, a huge stone tablet stood upright with only seven or eight lines of text engraved on it, making the surface of the tablet appear very empty.

"After I awakened my Sharingan, I vaguely sensed a mysterious power calling to me, which became clearer as the number of tomoe in my Sharingan increased. It wasn't until I awakened my three-tomoe Sharingan that I found this place and saw this stone tablet in front of me."

After listening to Tetsuya's description, Jiraiya squatted down and carefully examined the inscription. He found that it was just a bunch of incoherent words, and his brows gradually furrowed.

"So, is there anything special about this stone tablet?"

Tetsuya turned his head to look at Kakashi beside him.

"Only the Sharingan can break the power that the Sage of Six Paths placed on the stone tablet and see its true contents."

Six Paths Immortals?

Upon hearing Tetsuya mention this legendary figure, even Jiraiya could not hide the shock on his face, while Kakashi, disregarding his physical exhaustion, once again raised his headband, revealing his scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan.

To my esteemed descendant, the pride of the Uchiha clan: My name is Hagoromo Otsutsuki, known as the Sage of Six Paths. Being able to read this inscription, you must have awakened a mysterious power. I hereby impart to you the method for using this power. The power you have awakened is called the Sharingan—

One can obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan by experiencing a major trauma (such as the death of a loved one, severing a close friendship, etc.).

If the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is overused, the user will gradually lose their sight. The only way to remedy this is—

You have awakened the supreme eye power of the Uchiha clan and become one of the best in the entire ninja world. I hope you can use this power to save the people suffering in the world and go with them to their respective beautiful worlds.

Remember, two forces repel each other, but only when they combine and become one can one obtain the power of all things in the universe!

The final words of the Six Paths Immortal.

This is the advice that the Sage of Six Paths left for the Uchiha clan.

Is it because I don't have the bloodline of the Uchiha clan that many parts are blurry?

Kakashi, his body trembling slightly, looked at Tetsuya beside him with shock after reading the contents of the stone tablet.

"If I'm not mistaken, only by continuously improving the Sharingan's power can one unlock the inscriptions on it one by one. The content seen by the three-tomoe Sharingan, the Mangekyou Sharingan, and even the higher-level Sharingan will be different."

Is it really that amazing?

Just as Jiraiya and Kakashi were studying the stone tablet, hurried footsteps came from the stairs.

Sasuke, holding an oil lamp in his hand, appeared at the top of the stairs, staring in astonishment at the three figures in the basement.
