****************

After Colt finished speaking, the scene first fell into a strange silence, and then erupted into sky-high cheers.

"For Colt-sama! For ninjas!"

"Occupy Wano Country! Dominate the world!"

"War! Where Colt-sama points his blade, we shall follow!"

The crowd's breathing grew heavy, their eyes glowing redder than the Sharingan, as they eagerly anticipated finding a samurai to fight, ready to show them what a true ninja was capable of!

With a single order, the ninjas of the five major regiments began to march swiftly to their respective battlefields.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people disappeared, leaving only Colt's family and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya behind.

Hinata, who had been worried about potential casualties, was about to voice her concerns when Colt stopped her.

"Don't worry. With Hashirama-sama here, there will be absolutely no problems on the frontal battlefield."

"Besides, after gaining Haki, they haven't experienced a proper war yet. It's better to uncover their weaknesses now than to discover them in the future."

Hearing Colt's reassurance, Hinata relaxed completely and happily took his arm.

Everyone chatted about what had happened over the years, listening intently as Colt shared stories of his adventures at sea.

When he mentioned that his crew members were all young girls, Ino's eyes narrowed, and her fingers dug into Colt's side with a playful yet jealous pinch.

Colt couldn't help but grimace.

Among the girls, Ino's love was the most passionate, and she was the quickest to playfully sulk. Yet, it was this very girl who had captured his heart the most.

During his three years in the Pirate World, he had remained as steadfast as a rock, guarding his heart!

"There are still some trump cards I need to use, at least as insurance for everyone."

Colt, fearing that the conversation would turn into a critique of his choices, quickly changed the subject, steering clear of further mentions of Nami and the others.

Sure enough, when the girls heard that he still had hidden plans, their curiosity was piqued.

Snap!

Without wasting a moment, Colt brought his hands together, beginning to gather chakra. It had been a long time since he had performed such an action, as ninjas typically only did so when executing large-scale ninjutsu.

For him, battles usually required intense focus, leaving little room for such preparations.

A spatial channel opened once more, but this time, only an ethereal spirit floated through.

Upon seeing this spirit, Kaguya's eyes sharpened.

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo!

"Kamiyo Colt, why have you summoned me from the spirit world again?"

The Sage of Six Paths looked puzzled.

He had been enjoying his time of peace in the spirit world when he felt an irresistible pull.

Opening his eyes, he found himself face-to-face with Colt's smiling visage and the piercing gaze of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

An inexplicable sense of dread filled his heart.

"Nothing much. I just wanted to inform you of something."

"Go on," the Sage of Six Paths replied cautiously, subtly drifting backward.

Colt paid no mind to his wariness and gestured to the surroundings, which were vastly different from the ninja world.

"Let me explain the current situation. I am now invading another world to secure a broader living space for ninjas."

"As the founder of the ninja way and half-ancestor of the ninja profession, shouldn't you contribute your strength as well?"

The Sage of Six Paths frowned.

"You've already summoned countless souls with the [Impure World Reincarnation]. Isn't that enough?"

Colt shook his head, his expression serious. "Those souls volunteered to serve me. Their actions have nothing to do with you."

"Calling you out now, it's because your time to contribute has arrived."

The Sage of Six Paths opened his mouth to protest, but Colt gave him no opportunity.

In a single step, as if traversing time and space, Colt appeared beside the Sage of Six Paths and grasped his head.

"My subordinates are fighting bravely, and casualties are inevitable. I think your Pure Land is quite suitable to counter this."

"So, I've decided to establish a new Pure Land in the New World!"

The Sage of Six Paths' eyes widened in horror as he felt the power he had accumulated over nearly a millennium begin to drain away like a flood.

"You—!"

Colt formed hand seals with one hand, completing one hundred and eight seals in under ten seconds.

Then, raising a finger, he uttered softly:

"[Six Paths: Parallel World Technique]!"

A blue ring enveloped Colt and the Sage of Six Paths, using the Sage's body as a medium.

An unseen space, existing in the void, began to expand across the world.

This was an unprecedented, large-scale ninjutsu of immense difficulty, far surpassing even the [Six Paths: Planetary Devastation].

What Colt aimed to achieve was similar to what the original Sage of Six Paths had done: to create a Pure Land to house the souls of the dead.

However, the difference lay in scale.

The ninja world paled in comparison to the Pirate World, with even one of its four seas being dozens of times larger. The complexity of the task was unimaginable.

Thus, Colt devised a clever workaround.

The Sage of Six Paths had become one with the Pure Land of the Ninja World. By tapping into his nearly thousand-year accumulation of power and combining it with his own chakra, Colt could achieve this feat more easily.

It had taken Colt nearly a month to master this technique.

Hinata and the others watched in stunned silence, while even Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's mouth hung slightly open, shocked by Colt's audacity.

This was too ruthless!

The Sage of Six Paths' soul began to blur at a visible rate.

By the end, if one didn't focus carefully, they could no longer sense his presence.

After about half an hour, the chakra drain from Colt's body finally ceased, and the Sage of Six Paths had fulfilled his purpose.

"Kamiyo Colt... just you wait," the Sage of Six Paths muttered, his voice barely audible, before his soul dissipated into a wisp of smoke and returned to the Pure Land.

Colt estimated that the old man wouldn't awaken for at least a century, if not longer.

Wiping the fine sweat from his brow, Colt turned to Ino with a smile.

"Use your clan's ninja arts to deliver this message to all the ninjas in each unit: …"

"Even if they die, I can bring them back from the Pure Land!"

(T/N: The author left a note about what happened in the last part of the chapter)

Author's Note:

I recall a reader once said that I hate Itachi, but not all unfilial sons that did even worse than him.

In truth, I had already prepared a new fitting home for the Sage of Six Paths. This chapter serves to prove my innocence.@@novelbin@@
