Chapter 101: Accidentally Overhyping Six Paths Dosu!
"Oh wow!"
"Just got here and already caught Dosu from the Six Paths beating up Sasuke!"
"Iconic moment right here!"
Returning to the central tower of the Forest of Death, Uchiha Yi immediately noticed the scene unfolding on the monitor and couldn't help but exclaim in mock astonishment.
"Six Paths Dosu? What on earth are you talking about?" Tsunade asked, baffled by the unexpected nickname.
The other village representatives turned their attention to Uchiha Yi, equally curious. Could this seemingly unimpressive Dosu actually have some extraordinary background?
"Well, since everyone's so curious," Uchiha Yi began with a sly grin, "let me break it down for you."

"First, let's talk about the basics of ninja power rankings," Uchiha Yi explained.
"We're all familiar with genin, chūnin, and jōnin. Beyond that, we have Kage-level ninjas, the strongest in each of the Five Great Nations."
"Then, there's the level above Kage—Super Kage—ninjas who surpass even the strongest Kages."
"And beyond that, we have the Six Paths level. Ninjas at this tier possess strength akin to the legendary Sage of Six Paths himself."
The audience leaned in slightly, intrigued.
"So, you're saying Dosu is on par with the Sage of Six Paths?" Tsunade asked, raising an eyebrow skeptically.
Her skepticism was shared by the others. The mere idea was absurd. Most of them could probably beat Dosu in their sleep.
Yet, Uchiha Yi nodded solemnly. "Absolutely. Dosu of the Six Paths is a legend… in his own way."
---
Sensing their disbelief, Uchiha Yi added with a smirk, "But you need to understand—this isn't the Dosu you know. I'm talking about the Dosu from a parallel world."
"Parallel world?"
The room buzzed with confusion.
"Yes," Uchiha Yi confirmed. "A world similar to ours, but with critical differences. For example, in our world, the Legendary Sannin defeated Hanzo and were spared. But in a parallel world, Hanzo might have killed them outright, erasing the Sannin from existence entirely."
The concept was mind-bending.
Uchiha Yi pressed on, "In one of these worlds, Dosu achieves his full potential and ascends to the Six Paths level. He's so powerful that even Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju would struggle against him."
The room fell silent.
Most were too stunned to respond. The idea of parallel worlds was challenging enough, but the notion of Dosu achieving god-like strength? Ridiculous.
---
"I don't believe it," Tsunade scoffed, though she couldn't entirely hide her intrigue.
"If you don't believe me," Uchiha Yi continued, "let's discuss something familiar: the Three Great Sage Regions. Everyone knows about them, right?"
The representatives nodded cautiously.
"For instance, Mount Myōboku, where the Toad Sages reside. The Great Toad Sage, Gamamaru, has the power to foresee the future. Tsunade, as the summoner of the Slug Sage, you should be aware of this ability."
Tsunade frowned but didn't deny it.
"Now imagine this," Uchiha Yi proposed, leaning forward. "What if Gamamaru foresaw the end of our world and predicted Tsunade as the savior? But in the end, I became the one to save it instead. This deviation would split our world from the foretold timeline, creating a parallel universe."
"That's…" Tsunade struggled to form a rebuttal. The concept was compelling, even if she didn't fully understand it.
---
"An interesting theory, Yi-kun," came a familiar, silky voice.
The room turned as Orochimaru entered, a mischievous smile on his face.
"I've been listening for a while, and I must say, this idea of parallel worlds is quite fascinating. If such worlds truly exist, I would very much like to study them."
"See? Even Orochimaru agrees with me," Uchiha Yi quipped.
Orochimaru chuckled. "The possibilities are endless. Imagine encountering alternate versions of ourselves… It would be the ultimate experiment."
---
"Back to the point," Uchiha Yi redirected. "In this parallel world, Dosu doesn't remain the small fry you know. He grows into a being so powerful that the Six Paths Sage himself would call him 'father.'"
Uchiha Yi's casual delivery only added to the absurdity.
"If that's true," Orochimaru mused, "then perhaps this Dosu represents untapped potential in all of us."
The rest of the room wasn't as enthusiastic. Most were too stunned to respond, caught between disbelief and uneasy curiosity.
---
Meanwhile, in the Forest of Death, Dosu remained completely unaware that Uchiha Yi had just inflated his reputation to unimaginable heights.
Unbeknownst to him, representatives from multiple nations were now quietly observing his every move, wondering if he might indeed harbor the potential to become a god-like figure.
Dosu's every action from that moment on would be scrutinized, analyzed, and overanalyzed.
Such was the chaos wrought by Uchiha Yi's casual exaggeration.
