Naruto: The Uchiha Who Wields Haki Chapter 207 207: The Shinobi World in Turmoil

In the end—

Ren had miscalculated.

He had assud that after Kinshiki and Urashiki died, Hagoromo and Hamura would finally reveal themselves.

But they didn't.

Not only did they refuse to appear, they didn't leak even the faintest trace of aura.

They seed determined to hide like turtles in their shells until the very end.

That actually impressed Ren a little.

As expected of the Sage of Six Paths.

The founder of Ninshū.

Even when forced past the limit, he still endured.

Of course—

that was all.

After becoming the complete Ten-Tails jinchūriki and killing Urashiki and Kinshiki, Ren no longer placed Hagoromo and Hamura in his eyes.

If those two dared appear—

he would suppress them with overwhelming force and absorb their chakra.

At the sa ti, after Ren's aura faded, the entire shinobi world entered a state of complete unrest.

The Fifth Hokage had grown stronger again.

That pressure had forced countless people to kneel without even realizing it. There was no way the world could remain calm after sothing like that.

More importantly—

the two powerful auras that had suddenly descended upon the shinobi world were gone.

Everyone could guess what had happened.

The Fifth Hokage had probably killed them.

The more people thought about it, the more terrifying it beca.

"No. I have to train harder. I'm joining Konoha."

"Uchiha Ren is getting stronger and stronger. I need to get under his protection."

"Our village should submit to Konoha too. Only under the Fifth Hokage's shelter can we receive better treatnt and survive what cos next."

Across the shinobi world, countless independent shinobi, small villages, and minor forces began making the sa decision.

They would join Konoha.

They would cling to the Fifth Hokage's banner.

At this point, even a fool could see the truth.

Uchiha Ren had risen completely.

In a certain sense, he had already surpassed the legendary Sage of Six Paths.

If they didn't submit to Konoha now, then when?

As the world's direction shifted, the atmosphere in Iwagakure and Kumogakure worsened sharply.

After seeing Konoha's montum toward unifying the world, many shinobi in those two villages felt as if they had beco enemies of the entire shinobi world.

It was suffocating.

There was nowhere to advance.

No room to retreat.

Rumor had it that Ōnoki and A both flew into rages inside their respective offices. Ōnoki, perhaps regretting his cooperation with Madara, was even said to have coughed up blood from sheer frustration.

With that, the shape of the shinobi world beca clearer.

Konoha's unification of the world was no longer a fantasy.

It had beco the natural tide.

And the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Ren, had reached a level of prestige unmatched in history.

As for the first Ten-Tails jinchūriki, the first man to unravel the truth of chakra, the founder of Ninshū—

the Sage of Six Paths—

he was being quietly replaced.

More and more, the shinobi world knew only the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Ren.

The Sage of Six Paths was becoming a na from the past.

Inside that hidden dinsion—

Buzz!

A terrifying wave of energy shook the secret space, causing visible cracks to spread through the air.

The entire dinsion trembled as if it might collapse at any second.

"Brother, calm down."

Hamura's expression darkened as he sensed the instability around them.

"If this space breaks, Uchiha Ren may discover us."

"Shut up."

The mont Ren's na was ntioned, Hagoromo's face twisted further.

Once upon a ti, he had been the Sage of Six Paths.

He was the first Ten-Tails jinchūriki.

The first to understand chakra's true nature.

The ancestor of the Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki.

The founder of Ninshū.

When had he ever needed to act according to soone else's mood?

Yet now, a junior had climbed above his head and trampled his authority.

For Hagoromo, it was unbearable humiliation.

The shinobi world was supposed to be his garden.

His domain.

And now Uchiha Ren was on the verge of taking it from him.

How could he accept that?

"Brother, I know you're angry."

Hamura took a careful breath and lowered his voice.

"But we have to think about the bigger picture."

"Uchiha Ren's montum is already established. Unless we can kill him in one strike, we should follow the plan."

Then he added pointedly,

"You haven't forgotten how Urashiki and Kinshiki died, have you?"

That sentence landed like cold water.

Hagoromo's rage cooled at once.

Yes.

He had been confident.

But after watching Urashiki get tortured and killed without any ability to fight back, even Hagoromo and Hamura had felt a chill in their hearts.

The enemy before them was no longer soone they could handle casually.

And that truth—

was what made it so bitter.
