At this point, Madara, Hashirama, and the others all turned curious gazes toward him.
They were eager to learn exactly what method the Sage of Six Paths used to make amends to the world. What could be so peculiar that it would puzzle even Yusuke?
Yusuke looked at everyone's expectant faces and continued speaking.
"The Sage of Six Paths possessed absolutely tremendous power at this time. But something was wrong with his thinking — there had to be! Despite having power that could easily reshape the entire world, he chose not to use the chakra within his body. Instead, he relied on mere physical strength."
"I completely disagree with this approach. If I had been the Sage of Six Paths, I would have used the power within me wisely to transform this world! Wouldn't that have been true redemption? That's why I despise his decision!"
"If it were up to me, I would have put these powers to good use. I wouldn't have let them go to waste. And you won't believe what other foolish thing the Sage of Six Paths did!"
At this point, Yusuke couldn't help but inwardly condemn Hagoromo once again. The Sage's actions seemed utterly incomprehensible to him.
Despite his immense power, he had chosen to split the Ten-Tails. He couldn't fathom why such an idea would ever cross the Sage's mind.
"What foolish thing?" Hashirama and Madara exchanged glances before turning eagerly to hear the answer.
"This incredibly foolish act was that the Sage of Six Paths, despite having enough power to transform the entire ninja world, refused to utilize it properly. He had become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, yet he squandered that tremendous power."
"Like a fool, he forcibly extracted the Ten-Tails' power from his body, split it into nine tailed beasts, and scattered them across the world. I despise this decision. With such overwhelming strength, the Sage chose to divide his power. I cannot understand his reasoning. What could have possessed him to choose such an inferior path?"
"And you know what's worse? He could have maintained complete control over the Ten-Tails' power. Instead, he refused to harness it. Despite possessing such incredible strength, he failed to treasure it, chosing to disperse all his power. I truly despise this approach. And do you have any idea just how powerful the Sage of Six Paths was then?"
After Yusuke said this, Madara, Hashirama, Tobirama, Izuna, and the others cast curious glances toward him, eager to learn more.
Orochimaru and the rest also turned their attention to him, wondering why the Sage of Six Paths had made such decisions.
Yusuke took a deep breath, then continued speaking.
"After Hagoromo's months-long battle with his mother Kaguya ended, he chose to use his power to save the devastated world. But his approach infuriates me. He separated the Ten-Tails from his body and, using his Six Paths power, forcibly split the complete Ten-Tails into the nine great tailed beasts we know today."
"He then scattered these tailed beasts across the world. The Sage believed that once separated, these beasts would never gather again to become a powerful weapon."
"His thinking has proven to be catastrophically wrong in our present world. We can gather the nine tailed beasts at any time, revive the Ten-Tails, and continue to destroy this world — just as you plan to do, Madara."
At these words, Madara's face twitched slightly.
Though bluntly stated, it was true. This was indeed his next goal: to revive the Ten-Tails and use it to execute the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan. He simply hadn't anticipated all the secrets involved.
Yusuke took another deep breath and continued addressing the group.
"After the Sage of Six Paths extracted the Ten-Tails and split it into nine parts, he should have died immediately as its jinchūriki. But thanks to his incredibly powerful body and Ōtsutsuki bloodline, he managed to survive for nearly another hundred years."
"And it was during these hundred years that he made another major mistake!"
