A veteran of the ninja world: surviving from the Six Paths of Heroes to Boruto

"I wonder how the human Uchiha are doing now. This reincarnation of Inshu came late, but now it's time for him to show his talent and reach a certain level."

Ten thousand whispers fell.

His figure suddenly turned into thick fog and disappeared.

At that time, the Naka River and Naka Shrine

The Uchiha clan's sacrificial ceremony is being held solemnly.

The clan flag fluttered in the wind, and the round fan-shaped clan emblem on the flag shone brightly in the sunlight!

Uchiha clansmen, dressed in uniform black sacrificial robes, lined up densely on the altar by the river, heads bowed and breathless.

At the front of the line

A tall, aloof figure stood alone; it was none other than Uchiha Sa, the first female clan leader in the history of the Uchiha clan.

She was around thirty years old, with cold, sharp eyes and a delicate nose and cherry lips that added a touch of allure. She exuded an air of dominance, and her downcast eyes held nothing but nonchalant disdain, as if nothing in the world could catch her eye.

Ten thousand times, it hangs above the altar, its form hidden in the void, and no one can see its trace.

His gaze fell on Uchiha Sa, and with a sweep of his sage power, he saw through her soul. His lips twitched almost imperceptibly: "Is this the reincarnation of Indra in this generation? So arrogant, she doesn't seem to care about anyone..."

Manji did not leave; he simply hovered quietly in the sky, observing the Uchiha's sacrificial ceremony.

With steady steps, Uchiha Sa led a group of white-haired elders to the monument to meritorious officials on the west side of the altar.

The stone tablet is engraved with a dense array of names: Uchiha Izumi, Uchiha Kitsune, Senju Uzuki who was granted special entry into the Uchiha Holy Land... and beyond that, the names of the successive clan leaders and meritorious officials who have devoted themselves to the Uchiha clan for nearly a century.

She lowered her eyes and gazed at the inscription on the stele, her expression calm. She performed the ritual of worship according to the clan's rites, her movements precise and without the slightest oversight.

After paying respects to their ancestors and meritorious officials, two highly respected elders stepped aside to lead the way, accompanying Uchiha Sa as she slowly entered the Six Paths Hall at the very center of the altar.

The hall was filled with the smoke of incense, and a magnificent portrait hung on the stone wall in the very center!

The boy in the painting has a tall and straight figure, with red lips and white teeth. He wears a black and red robe and the Six Paths Sword is beside him. He is the Sage of Six Paths, whom the Uchiha clan has worshipped for generations. He is also the immortal face of Manji.

"Clan leader, please kowtow and pay homage to the Sage of Six Paths, praying for the Uchiha clan's well-being, the smooth cultivation of its members, and the peace and stability of the clan."

The elder on the left bowed deeply, speaking with utmost respect, and gestured to the prayer mat in the hall.

Ten thousand times, suspended in the void outside the hall, his eyebrows slightly raised.

I had assumed that this female clan leader would kneel and pray devoutly, just like her predecessors in the Uchiha clan.

But Uchiha Sa stood before the prayer mat, her posture upright like a pine tree, without moving an inch.

Seeing this, the two elders exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt, and asked again respectfully:

"Clan leader, since you have seen the six realms of existence, why do you not pay homage?"

"Oh? Then why should I worship?"

Uchiha Sa raised her eyes, her cold gaze falling directly on the portrait on the stone wall. A mocking smile curved her lips, her eyes filled with disdain.

In her eyes, the so-called Six Paths Immortals were nothing but a fabricated legend passed down by word of mouth.

She is the head of the Uchiha clan, in charge of the entire clan. Why would she need to kneel before a fictional being?

It is said that the Sage of Six Paths is a deity who protects the ninja world, but with years of war, displaced people, and starving people everywhere, this deity has never been seen to lift a finger to save them.

"Heh, the so-called Sage of Six Paths is nothing but a name without substance, a complete fabrication."

She parted her thin lips slightly, her voice clear and cold, yet it resonated clearly throughout the tranquil hall.

"Huh? This..."

The two elders behind him froze instantly, cold sweat streaming down their foreheads and soaking through their sacrificial robes.

The clan leader actually dared to say that the Six Paths Immortals were illusory in such a solemn and sacred place as the Six Paths Hall. This statement is simply outrageous!

"Oh."

Uchiha Sa glanced at the two men, who were drenched in sweat and terrified, and felt even more disdain in her heart, but she smiled faintly and said, "You two are far too superstitious."

"The Great Ninja Sect has been extinct for two hundred years!"

"The concept of the Sage of Six Paths is nothing more than an ancient tool used to bewitch people and consolidate rule."

"Chieftain...this..."

The two elders' lips trembled, but they were too frightened to utter a single word.

"You still can't see through it."

Uchiha Sa withdrew her gaze, looked back at the portrait, and her tone suddenly turned stern!

"If there truly were sages who could save people from suffering, how could the ninja world have degenerated into this hellish state?"

"I was an orphan since childhood. If it weren't for the orphan rescue plan left by the fox clan chief hundreds of years ago, I would have perished in the war long ago."

"When I was young, I also devoutly believed in the Six Paths Immortals, praying every day that the immortals would protect all living beings."

"But as I grew older, I witnessed all the suffering in the world. The various ninja clans fought each other endlessly, evil spirits haunted the land, and refugees exchanged their own children to eat. I have seen all the evil in this world, but I have never seen the so-called Sage of Six Paths appear."

"The people of the ninja world revere him as a god, offering incense and prayers year after year, yet he sits idly by, watching the hellish world unfold. Is this god blind?!"

The stern words resounded in the hall, causing even the incense smoke to freeze for a moment.

Uchiha Sa snorted coldly, her gaze sweeping disdainfully over the portrait: "What use is there for me, Uchiha Sa, to kneel before such a deity who merely enjoys incense offerings but accomplishes nothing?"

"Snapped!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two elders behind him could no longer hold on. Their knees buckled, and they knelt heavily on the cold ground, trembling all over. Cold sweat soaked through their clothes, and they didn't even dare to lift their heads.

The two elders were so frightened they cried and fainted.

"Are you going to insult me...?"

In the void, the figure that had been suspended in the air paused almost imperceptibly, a hint of surprise flashing through its mind.

He's the first person to dare to criticize himself.

Indra wouldn't have dared to do this before.

Needless to say, Indra immediately recognized himself as his father.

Despite his arrogance, Uchiha Izumi always outwardly treated him with respect and courtesy.

Uchiha Fox regarded him as a sign from heaven, and regarded him as a standard of destiny.

No one had ever dared to berate his portrait so vehemently as Uchiha Sa.

Even so

Wanci felt no anger whatsoever.

Changsheng's mind was already calm and undisturbed; a few words of criticism were far from enough to anger him.

"They hurled insults at me... They were so vicious, so overwhelming, so utterly brutal..."

He sighed softly a thousand times, his tone as calm as still water.

Before the words had even finished...

Inside the Six Paths Hall, Uchiha Sa suddenly raised her hand, and the sword at her waist was drawn in response, its cold light slicing through the swirling incense smoke in the hall.

With a flick of her wrist, the sharp blade carved rapidly along the stone wall, sending stone chips scattering to the ground!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

In just a few breaths, four lines of poetry were clearly engraved on the wall next to the portrait of the Six Paths:

"Her beauty is captured in paintings, yet she sits in a high hall, enjoying the incense offerings in vain."

"Better to come into my arms than to be a lonely immortal guarding an empty room."

Sheath your sword!

Uchiha Sa glanced down at the poems on the wall, a haughty smile playing on her cool lips.

"These Sages of Six Paths are nothing but a handsome exterior; they are utterly useless!"

Uchiha Sa said disdainfully.
