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

Wanci was preparing to leave the village.

So they prepared to say goodbye to the old man and give him something as a token of their kinship.

But when Wanci arrived at the old man's door, he was taken aback.

"What happened? Is he dead?"

Wan Ci was startled. He knew his senses were correct; the old man was already dead.

Wanci hurriedly entered the house.

They found the child who had just died was now weeping while holding a cow, while the old man lay peacefully on the bed, clearly having died not long ago.

"Waaaaah, Immortal, my grandfather is dead... Waaaaah..."

The child said, crying.

Wanci could tell at a glance that the old man had not been killed, but had died of old age naturally as his lifespan was nearing its end, without experiencing any pain.

In an instant, I understood a thousand times.

The old man was already very old, and the reason he hadn't died was probably because he was clinging to life and wanted to see me again.

Now that his wish has been fulfilled, the old man's dream has been realized.

And so he left. Of course, it's also possible that he was too excited after seeing himself, and then died because he was too old.

"Sigh..." Wanci sighed softly and stepped forward to pat the child on the back.

"Child, where is your father?"

Wan Ci asked in a gentle voice.

"I have no father. My grandfather said that my father was killed by robbers and my mother died giving birth to me."

The child cried as he spoke.

After a long silence, he glanced at the bare house and realized that the child probably couldn't support himself.

"Your grandfather and I are old acquaintances, so I'll find you a way to make a living."

Wanci looked at the child and spoke softly.

Now that I'm going to Yu Yi's Ninja Sect, I might as well send him there to study; it would indeed be a good place.

There is no problem with safety and food security there.

The future employment prospects are also bright.

(Note: The descendants of the Ninja Clan almost all established Ninja Clans, which later became major powers in the turbulent era.)

Even if a child has poor aptitude, if you have someone to recommend them, Yu Yi will still give you face.

Subsequently, Wanci buried the old man.

Afterwards, he took the children and arrived at the Ninja Sect.

This time, Manji did not conceal his aura and chakra, and Hagoromo quickly came forward to meet him.

Goodbye, Feather Robe.

Yu Yi has entered middle age.

He looks quite like an older version of Hagoromo from Shippuden.

Yu Yi stared at Manji in astonishment.

In just a moment

Yu Yi seemed surprised that Manji was still the same, even though she herself showed obvious signs of aging.

"Teacher, you're still as charming as ever..."

Yu Yi bowed and sighed.

Wanci nodded slightly and pointed to the child beside him: "This child is the grandson of an old friend of mine. Now he has no one to rely on, and I hope to leave him with the Ninja Sect."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yi quickly nodded.

"Master, you don't need to be so polite. You are my teacher and the founder of the Ninja Clan. You can keep whomever you want."

Yu Yi said respectfully.

Then, Yu Yi looked gently at the child and asked, "What's your name?"

The child answered truthfully, "My name is Monkey."

Yu Yi frowned slightly upon hearing this.

It's normal for ordinary people to be careless when naming their children, mainly because ordinary people are not cultured, and they believe that humble names are easier to raise. Not giving them names like "Dog Egg" is already considered a lucky omen.

"Hmm, this monkey name doesn't sound good. How about I give you a different one?"

From now on, your name will be Sarutobi!

Yu Yi gently gave the child a name herself.

"Sarutobi...Sarutobi...It sounds so good!"

The child nodded and spoke.

Upon hearing this familiar surname, Wanci's eyes gleamed.

Original origin...

Sarutobi... the ancestor of the Sarutobi clan?

At that time, the concept of surnames did not exist in the world.

Even when Hagoromo named his child Indra or Ashura, he didn't use names like Otsutsuki Indra or Otsutsuki Ashura.

Sarutobi is currently a given name, but it may eventually become the clan's surname.

I can't help but sigh at the invisible force of fate.

Isn't fate truly wondrous?

He simply pointed casually, and a single gesture created a great ninja clan, the Sarutobi clan, which became famous throughout Konoha!

Afterwards, Hagoromo ordered someone to take Sarutobi to familiarize himself with the life of the Ninja Clan.

Inside the room, only Yu Yi and Manji remained.

"Teacher, you're still the same. I still don't understand, how much longer can you live?"

Yu Yi couldn't wait to ask the question he most wanted to ask.

In the past, he always thought that Wanci would outlive him, so he assumed that Wanci would definitely pass away before him.

But now, I am middle-aged or old.

If Manji is from the same generation as his mother Kaguya, then Manji's age is terrifying...

"What's wrong?"

Wanci gave Yuyi a meaningful look.

"Sigh, I feel myself getting old, and besides, the Ninja Sect isn't what I thought..."

Yu Yi smiled helplessly.

Over the years, he has felt a sense of powerlessness.

Only then did he realize that saving the world was not so easy.

Because of his mother, Hagoromo was destined not to train the Ninja Clan into a war machine to rule the world by force. He preferred to achieve his goal by educating the people.

(PS: Some people may not know what Hagoromo's philosophy is, so I'll explain it here: Hagoromo is a pacifist. He created Ninshu to unite people's hearts and disliked the use of force. This is also why he passed it on to Ashura. In the anime, Hagoromo gave the two a test. Indra used absolute force to help the villagers, while Ashura united everyone to dig a well. Indra wanted to rule the world with absolute force, so Hagoromo did not pass on Ninshu to him. This is also why Hagoromo, despite his great strength, did not rule the world.)

"The Ninja Clan has been established for a long time, but it has accomplished nothing. Although it has established many branch sects around the world, it has no successors..."

Yu Yi said with a wry smile.

(PS: To reiterate, the original work explicitly states that the Ninja Sect initially did not possess any martial arts elements; it was only later, due to Indra's invention of hand seals, that it developed its martial arts.)

Wanci glanced indifferently at the crowd gathered around the campfire, singing and dancing, and then spoke:

"I don't see anything wrong with it, at least it's quite lively..."

Yu Yi: "........"

"Ahem, teacher, I forgot to tell you, I have two sons, the older one is named Indra, and the younger one is named Asura."

Yu Yi smiled and said.

"Oh, I see. Congratulations then. I didn't give you a gift."

Wan Ciwei said softly.

"hey-hey....."

Yu Yi smiled, though he didn't really understand what giving a gift meant.

The two then chatted for a long time.

Finally, unable to contain her previous doubts any longer, Hagoromo couldn't help but ask again.

"Teacher, may I ask your age?"

Yu Yi asked again.

Wanci laughed: "Yuyi, why are you questioning my age?"

Feathered Robe rose and bowed

"Please forgive me, teacher, but there are many things I don't understand. Why is it that you, with your immense power, are so indifferent to worldly desires?"

"Do teachers really have no ideals or ambitions?"

"If the teacher truly had no desires, then why did he fight with his mother for the Chakra Fruit back then?"

"Now that the master's lifespan is also unknown, this disciple is truly curious."

Yu Yi voiced her doubts in one breath.

He really didn't understand what the teacher was trying to do.

He used to think that his teacher could manage the Ninja Clan with him, but later he realized that Manji really had no interest in human affairs at all!

But if one truly has no desires or wants...

What was the story behind the teacher's struggle with his mother over the Chakra Fruit?

Isn't the struggle for the fruit ultimately about gaining power?

What should I do with the power I gain?

To rule the world? Or simply to gain power?

"well......."

Ten thousand times, I sighed inwardly.

Time flies so fast.

The past and the present are both too far in the past.

Wanci's personality also changed.

Wanci smiled bitterly to himself, "Could I tell you, Yuyi, that I was young and impetuous back then?"

First of all, Wan Ci had the typical mindset of a transmigrator back then: he was bold, and he also practiced immortal techniques and had a system.

Young and impetuous, he dared to attempt a move in order to reach the Six Paths level.

Looking back now, it was truly frightening.

Manji was probably not even a Super Kage level fighter back then. If Yishi had ignored Kaguya and chased after Manji to tear him apart, Manji would definitely have been finished.

There was no way around it; how old was Wanci back then?

Not even thirty years old

It is precisely at the age when one wants to rival the heavens.

During that period, Wanci dared to seize the right circle in his previous life's martial arts competition in order to reach the Six Paths level.
