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

Wanci glanced down indifferently at Uchiha Izumi and Senju Shuichi, who were kneeling and trembling, before his gaze returned to the pitiful Two-Tails Matatabi, who was rubbing against his sleeve.

He never intended to take their lives.

They are the first reincarnations of Indra and Asura after their descent into the world. The battle of destiny has not yet truly begun. If they were killed now, the struggle would end in a boring draw.

However, the journey was injured.

As a master, it is only right for me to stand up for my disciple.

"Hehehe, considering that your Senju and Uchiha clans have worshipped me for generations, I will forgive and forget your mistakes today."

Uchiha Izumi and Senju Shuichi were shocked, their pale faces instantly filled with wild joy, almost thinking they had misheard.

But the next second, Wanci's tone suddenly changed!

"But you injured my disciple so badly before, shouldn't you give me an explanation for that?"

Wanci's gaze fell on the wounds on Youlu's body that had long since healed, yet still irritated him, and his tone was slightly somber.

The joy on their faces froze instantly, their expressions hardening as they immediately understood the deeper meaning behind the words.

He may escape the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment; he must eventually get through this ordeal.

Senju Shuichi, with an open and honest heart, immediately kowtowed deeply, his voice utterly sincere: "Lord Tailed Beast, I, Senju Shuichi, in the name of the Senju clan patriarch, solemnly apologize to you! If your anger remains unabated, I will accept any beatings, scoldings, or punishments you may utter without complaint!"

Uchiha Izumi frowned, his face showing difficulty. But now, this was the best outcome. He no longer had any arrogance. He bowed and said in a stiff tone, "Tailed Beast Lord, I, Uchiha Izumi, was wrong. Please punish me."

You Lu raised his eyes and secretly winked at Wan Ci.

Her eyes were full of playfulness and pride, and she thought to herself with a happy smile: "As expected, the teacher understands me the best!"

Having followed it for thousands of years, it had long since grown to dislike killing and violence, and had no intention of taking human lives.

He was even less willing to show his ferocity in front of the teacher, and knowing that the two were the reincarnations of Indra and Asura, he simply decided to be magnanimous and not bother to argue with them.

Then, the beast shook its smooth fur, strode forward, and slowly raised its huge purple tailed beast paw. Its voice, though childish, carried a hint of cunning: "Alright! Since that's the case, I'll give you a back massage and loosen your muscles!"

The enormous cat paw, imbued with the chakra of the tailed beast, instantly enveloped Uchiha Izumi and Senju Shuichi, causing their pupils to contract sharply!

Holy crap! If that stomp lands, won't they be covered in bruises?!

The two instinctively tried to pull away, but an invisible force suddenly surged around them, pinning them to the spot and preventing them from moving an inch.

Wanci stood in the void, his clothes fluttering lightly, his expression serene.

"Ouch!! It hurts!! It hurts!!"

"Ouch—be gentle, Master Tailed Beast!"

A series of muffled thuds rang out, followed by a piercing scream that cut through the forest. Two-Tailed Matatabi's cat paws landed lightly on the two of them, seemingly playful but causing them unbearable pain all over their bodies, making it difficult for them to even stand.

A moment later, the traveler retracted its paws, hopped back to Manji's side, and looked satisfied.

The two then took an oath together.

"I, the Senju clan (Uchiha clan), hereby swear that I will never lay a hand on any tailed beast in my lifetime. If I break this oath, may I be struck down by the heavens and the earth!"

As the sun set, the golden-red afterglow bathed the forest path, casting long shadows of two disheveled figures.

Shuichi Senju helped Izumi Uchiha, who was also limping, his face contorted in pain.

"Uchiha Izumi! You still say you didn't scheme against me! You clearly said you were going to settle scores with a reclusive old man, but you didn't mention it once. And that old man is actually the Sage of Six Paths!"

Shuichi Senju couldn't help but complain.

"How did I know that the reclusive old man was actually the legendary Sage of Six Paths?"

Uchiha Izumi rubbed his aching back, his face extremely pale, and said helplessly.

"Izumi, let's take another six months of truce. It takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury. Look at us now, how can we possibly have the strength to fight?"

Shuichi Senju shook his head with a wry smile, his tone full of resignation.

This time, Uchiha Izumi did not confront him as usual, but simply snorted coldly.

"Alright, alright, my bones are about to fall apart, let's go!"

"Uchiha Izumi said."

"I shouldn't have believed you and come with you, Izumi! You clearly tricked me! Does the oath you made before you left still stand?"

Shuichi Senju raised an eyebrow and grinned mischievously.

Before coming, Uchiha Izumi made a solemn vow to reassure him that if he deliberately plotted against him, the Uchiha clan would surely kill each other and perish.

Uchiha Izumi's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

I did say that...

"Heh, this doesn't count. Besides, how could our Uchiha clan possibly kill each other?"

Uchiha Izumi gritted his teeth and said.

It's obvious they're trying to renege on their promise.

"Alright, alright, you're just impossible to deal with!"

Shuichi Senju shook his head helplessly.

"Stop arguing, Shuichi, let's go!"

Two figures, supporting each other, staggered further and further away in the afterglow of the setting sun, until they finally disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Wanci stood in the void, silently watching the two figures depart, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He raised his hand and lightly brushed his sleeve, the celestial light slowly receding as he murmured to himself, "Have I become nothing more than an unattainable legend and myth in this world? I never imagined that these two lads would react as if they had seen a ghost or a god upon seeing me..."

I still remember that in the late period of the Ninja Sect, everyone firmly believed in the existence of the Sage of Six Paths. Even if his true form appeared in the world, everyone would just take it for granted.

But today, after only a few generations, he has long been regarded by the world as a mythical figure.

So much so that when Izumi and Shuichi saw him, their horrified expressions, as if they had seen a ghost, made even the real Izumi somewhat amused and exasperated.

In the original work, the Sage of Six Paths didn't even leave behind a portrait, while I at least left one.

It's hard to imagine that, a thousand years from now, in Naruto's time, even my existence will likely be questioned by the world...

"well......"

Manji withdrew his gaze, looked down at the two-tailed Matatabi beside him, and gently rubbed it.

"Alright, You're fine now. Get some rest. You've really had a hard day. Those two were special people; they were the reincarnations of Asura and Indra."

Ten thousand times warm voice.

"Uh-huh."

Then, it tilted its cat face up and affectionately rubbed against Wanci's palm, its eyes full of obedience and understanding, and softly replied, "Teacher, I'm perfectly fine. I would never ruin your overall situation for my own honor or disgrace, especially since my life is not in danger."

Wan Ci responded gently, "Okay."
