NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 178: Chapter 188
The pure-blooded members of the Uzumaki clan were scattered far and wide.
Uzushiogakure had been destroyed.
But—the Land of Whirlpools still existed.
Not that any of this mattered much to the Sage of Six Paths.
Right now, what he needed to do was… find Sasuke and Naruto, and help them understand the importance of resealing Kaguya.
And then… pass on his soul imprint to them.
He now existed only as a fragment of spiritual essence. He didn't have much power left.
So once he handed his imprint over to Sasuke and Naruto, it would be up to the two of them to deal with Uchiha Madara.
But just as he was about to appear before them—
A system notification screen suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Detected: Sage of Six Paths' soul body]
[Special invitation to join Descendant Chat Group (^_-)]
[You will receive the highest seniority title in the ninja world.]
[You will receive the permanent title: Unfilial Son / Rebellious Child.]
[This title can be permanently equipped.]
"…?"
"..."
"...?" The Sage of Six Paths.
Outrageous!
How dare it call him unfilial?! Unfilial… Wait—was it referring to him sealing his own mother?
But—that was for the sake of the ninja world!
If he hadn't sealed Kaguya… would the ninja world even exist today?
The land itself might've been gone.
Ninjas wouldn't even exist.
The Sage of Six Paths wanted to huff and walk away from this absurdity.
But then… he saw the member list of the group displayed on the screen:
[Current members of Descendant Chat Group (^_-)]
[Big Dumb - Hashirama Senju, Senju Tobirama, Mei Terumi, Fourth Hokage - Minato Namikaze, Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, Ōnoki, Ōnoki's teacher - Mu, Nine Tails][Uchiha Izuna]
"..." The Sage of Six Paths.
"..." The Sage of Six Paths again.
!!!
Hashirama Senju?!
Wasn't that the one the Great Toad Sage said was Madara's rival? And Hashirama was also the previous inheritor of Ashura's chakra!
Which meant—yes, destiny and divine will were clearly on his side.
He had just been thinking that handing off his spiritual imprint to Naruto and Sasuke, then dealing with Uchiha Madara, might stretch him too thin—but now…
Hashirama. The one who inherited Ashura's chakra in the previous generation.
The first person to build a village and strive for peace.
A true Ashura successor!
[Would you like to join Descendant Chat Group (^_-)?]
"Yes!"
The Sage of Six Paths instantly confirmed.
And at that moment—
[Descendant Chat Group (^_-)]
[Detected: Sage of Six Paths' soul body. Special invitation sent.]
[Welcome Sage of Six Paths - Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo to Descendant Chat Group (^_-)]
[#]
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: …
[Senju Tobirama]: …
[Kakashi Hatake]: …
[Fifth Mizukage - Mei Terumi]: …
[Cowardly - Ōnoki]: …
[Minato Namikaze]: …
[One Tail - Shukaku]: …
[Nine Tails - Kurama]: Ha! The Sage of Six Paths!
[Nine Tails - Kurama]: Old man, huh!
[Sage of Six Paths]: … This is…
[Sage of Six Paths]: Is Senju Hashirama here?
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: …
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: ?? Uh, I'm Senju Hashirama.
[Senju Tobirama]: So you're the Sage of Six Paths?
[Sage of Six Paths]: And you are…?
[Senju Tobirama]: A descendant of the ninja world!
[Sage of Six Paths]: …
[Sage of Six Paths]: I see… So divine will truly is with me.
[Sage of Six Paths]: Then this little group…
[Senju Tobirama]: The group name is Descendant Chat Group.
[Sage of Six Paths]: I see… So you're all my descendants!
[Kakashi Hatake]: … That's how it works!?
Everyone suddenly realized—it did make sense.
The name "Descendant Chat Group" was indeed… unique.
And like how Kurama once got the title Millennia-Old Runner-Up, based on seniority.
But now that the Sage of Six Paths had arrived—everything fell into place.
He was the founder of the ninja world. Everyone here was technically his junior!
Yet just as the group was buzzing with excitement over this legendary figure's arrival—
A system message suddenly popped up:
[Congratulations Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo for receiving the permanent title: Unfilial Son - Hagoromo]
[Minato Namikaze]: … What!?
The entire chat group suddenly went dead silent.
The chat group went completely silent.
Minato, Kakashi, and the others had been excited about the sudden addition of the Sage of Six Paths…
But now…
?!??!
[Unfilial Son - Hagoromo]: ??
[Unfilial Son - Hagoromo]: … ??
The Sage of Six Paths noticed the atmosphere in the group had suddenly gotten weird.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: …Uh.
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Tobirama, is the Sage of Six Paths' name really Hagoromo?
[Senju Tobirama]: That's what the records say.
[Unfilial Son - Hagoromo]: …
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: …
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Then why does something feel off?
[Senju Tobirama]: Let me think about it too…
[Minato Namikaze]: …
Minato said nothing.
Because—these titles weren't randomly assigned.
They were given by the system after reviewing each member's history and character.
It was always fair.
For example:
Izuna got the title Tobirama Achievement - Izuna because he was killed by Tobirama.
Hashirama got Big Dumb because distributing the Tailed Beasts was clearly a dumb idea.
Ōnoki got Cowardly because he feared Uchiha Madara.
And Black Zetsu earned Filial Son for always working in service of his mother.
From that perspective… the system had never been wrong.
But now—
The founder of the ninja world, the Sage of Six Paths recorded in history, had just been given the title Unfilial Son!?
"..."
[Big Dumb - Hashirama]: Is there… something wrong with the system?
[Unfilial Son - Hagoromo]: …
[Unfilial Son - Hagoromo]: What's the problem?
[Minato Namikaze]: Uh, Sage of Six Paths… your title… seems a little off.
[Unfilial Son - Hagoromo]: …
[Unfilial Son - Hagoromo]: I suppose… this title reflects my history.
[Unfilial Son - Hagoromo]: In the past, my younger brother Hamura and I sealed our powerful mother.
[Unfilial Son - Hagoromo]: So perhaps that's why… the system gave me this title.
[Nine Tails - Kurama]: …
Kurama had originally just wanted to greet the old man.
But now… the Sage of Six Paths had just publicly admitted to his unfilial act.
Should Kurama call that honesty and purity… or just plain foolishness?
Kurama had long been a savvy veteran in this chat group.
He knew this was a group dominated by Konoha.
Even as a Tailed Beast, he had to maintain the proper stance.
But now that the Sage of Six Paths had joined…
Well, theoretically, Kurama should be able to rely on him for support—and maybe, just maybe, gain some influence too.
Let me know if you want to continue to Chapter 101, where Hagoromo starts transferring the Yin-Yang powers to Naruto and Sasuke.
