****************
Hearing him address the two, Tsunade and the others were stunned.
Even Madara and Hashirama's eyes widened.
Sage of Six Paths? Where was he?
Naruto and Sasuke's expressions remained indifferent, and he replied silently as if lost in thought.
"I'm just removing the threat to the ninja world, it's not out of malice."
The young voice, which should have been sharp and youthful, had now become the voice of an old man, near death.
Kaguya, lying in Colt's arms, came to her senses.
Her eyes gleamed as she muttered a name:
"Hagoromo..."
At the same time, a violent wind suddenly whipped through the air, causing the surrounding crowd to retreat, raising their arms to shield themselves.
Hashirama stood in front of Madara, his Sage Mode emerging, a solemn expression on his face.
"This terrifying Chakra is no less than the previous Ten Tails."
Sasuke and Naruto ignored the others and bowed slightly towards Kaguya.
"Mother, how many years has it been…?"
Kaguya stared at him coldly, her words dripping with contempt:
"In the years I have been sealed, I lived quite well, at the very least Hamura was with me."
"But look at you now. You've become neither human nor a ghost, truly pitiful."
In the face of her cynicism, the Sage of Six Paths remained silent, his thoughts drifting to the moon.
When he and his brother had sealed their mother, he stayed behind to spread Chakra in the ninja world, while his brother, Hamura, left for the moon to guard Kaguya, driven by guilt. They never saw each other again.
Colt looked at Kaguya curiously.
"Ōtsutsuki Hamura is still alive?"
Kaguya slowly shook her head, speaking softly.
"Hamura only lived for a few hundred years. He couldn't resist the passing of time and died."
"But he left a remnant of his Chakra with me before passing."
In the end, even the night air seemed to grow heavy.
Hamura had fought to seal her, but their companionship over the centuries had softened her resentment.
However, the figure standing before her — her hatred for him only deepened with every passing second.
Sensing this, Colt felt slightly relieved.
It seemed Kaguya was not entirely without compassion.
Maybe the system's task would eventually be completed.
However, when Kaguya had released the tailed beasts and undone the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the system still showed the task as incomplete.
Colt figured Kaguya had only submitted due to his superior strength.
Deep inside, she still held disgust and hatred for the present world.
While the two conversed, another voice broke in.
Uzumaki Kushina glared ahead.
"I don't care if you're the Sage of Six Paths, get out of my son's body!"
Namikaze Minato joined in.
"Sage of Six Paths-sama, you are a legend of the ninja world. Isn't it beneath you to occupy someone else's body like this?"
"What's the point of talking to him at this point, Minato?" Kushina shouted.
"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
Several chains with black runes shot out from Kushina, heading straight for Naruto.
She treated the Sage of Six Paths as if he were a tailed beast, trying to forcefully pull him out of Naruto's body.
Sasuke calmly extended his hand, and the Chakra chains halted mid-air, immobilized.
This shocked Kushina.
Her own Chakra was resisting her, not wanting to harm Naruto or Sasuke.
It made sense.
After all, the Chakra of the entire ninja world descended from the Sage of Six Paths.
And with the Uzumaki clan being distant relatives of the Senju, their connection was even closer.
With no further effort, the Sage of Six Paths easily nullified Kushina's attack.
"Rest assured, I won't harm Naruto or Sasuke. I'm merely borrowing their Chakra for a short while."
Sasuke extended his right hand, and Naruto stepped forward with his left, forming a seal.
A massive white god-like figure appeared behind them, linking their Chakra.
At the same time, they turned to Kaguya, who had been watching them closely.
"Mother, this world isn't a nursery for the Ōtsutsuki clan. Your thirst for Chakra will destroy it all."
"Please, return to the moon. It's for your own good."
As Naruto and Sasuke began to seal Kaguya, a suction force began to pull at her, causing the earth to tremble.
"Stop!" Colt's Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan flared, blocking the force that was pulling Kaguya, as he glared at the Sage of Six Paths.
"You dare touch the one I already promised to protect?"
Sasuke frowned, staring at Colt with a strange expression.
This Chakra… it felt eerily similar to his own.
A Sage's body, godly eyes, immense Chakra, and an unparalleled presence in the ninja world.
Could Colt be the reincarnation of some latent Chakra he had left behind?
"Colt, you don't understand. Mother is not inherently evil, but her very existence is a threat to the ninja world."
Because of their similarities, the Sage of Six Paths spoke patiently, explaining his reasoning.
"I sealed Mother not just to protect the world, but also to protect her."
Colt raised an eyebrow.
"Kaguya has promised me she won't harm the world again."
"I've even convinced the people of this world. So why do you feel the need to interfere?"
The Sage of Six Paths remained calm, using Sasuke to reply.
"Mother is immortal. She will live for eternity. Maybe you've subdued her now, but what happens when you grow old or die? Who will ensure she doesn't turn her gaze back to the world?"
"As a protector of peace and order, I must prevent that from happening."
The crowd began to murmur, their concern now directed at Colt.
"That's true,"
"We can't think just about the present…"
"Yeah, at the very least she should be sealed…"
The Sage of Six Paths had a point.
Colt was strong and could handle Kaguya for years, perhaps decades, but what about after that? Without someone powerful enough to keep her in check, the ninja world would be at her mercy once more.
Hearing this, Colt scratched his head awkwardly and replied with a shy grin:
"I forgot to mention… my lifespan is also endless."

****************
The atmosphere in the air became tense.
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at Colt in shock.
"Can he actually live forever?" they wondered.
Colt maintained a shy smile.
"My bloodline limit is a bit special. The energy constantly replenishes my vitality."
"Not only can I live forever, but those around me can also do so."
"Really?" Tsunade was overjoyed.
"I was wondering why my cell activity increased after you treated me."
She didn't need to maintain her illusion to appear young after he had treated her.
"At first, I thought it was the result of the [Wood Style], but I didn't expect your bloodline limit to be this powerful!"
The Sage of Six Paths was silent.
He hadn't anticipated that Colt had such a trump card.
The eyes of the others began to gleam with desire.
Immortality.
A small white snake writhing in Colt's ninja pouch twitched even more intensely.
Orochimaru, concealed within the snake, never imagined the immortality he sought after for so long had already been realized by Colt.
"If only I had this ability, there would have been no need to concern myself with the Uchiha," he thought.
Shin and Mieko were also dumbfounded.
"Is our son really this powerful?"
"Even if you can live forever and keep Mother in check, her existence is still dangerous," Sasuke said, looking at Kaguya with a stern expression.
"She comes from a terrifying race that brought chakra to our world…" he continued.
The Sage of Six Paths followed up, explaining the secrets of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Kaguya's presence was like a beacon, drawing the attention of the other Ōtsutsuki members.
Only by sealing her and minimizing her trace could they protect the ninja world.
When the Sage of Six Paths finished speaking, silence reigned.
The revelation of the Ōtsutsuki clan, a race originating at the Six Paths level, shocked everyone.
Even Kaguya's eyes darkened, and she felt a wave of panic.
Thinking of the other Ōtsutsuki clan members, hiding and biding their time, Kaguya suddenly wanted to retreat to the moon.
Colt gently set her down on the ground, stepped forward, and faced Sasuke.
He spoke slowly but with certainty:
"As long as I'm here, the world is safe."
"Anyone who would dare to invade the ninja world will be dealt with swiftly."
The Sage of Six Paths sighed.
"Well, if I can't convince you with words, I'll have to test this strength you're so confident in."
In the next moment, an Amaterasu [Chidori] appeared in Sasuke's hand, while the [Truth-Seeking Balls] behind Naruto transformed into a staff that he held.
"Colt, since you claim you can protect this world, prove it to me."
Colt drew his sword, Kaminari, and quietly entered the Sage Mode, his face emotionless.
"I don't need to prove anything, but if you want a fight, I'll give you what you want."
In an instant, Colt appeared before Naruto and slashed downward.
Naruto raised his staff to block the strike, while Sasuke aimed his [Chidori] at Colt's waist.
Colt shifted slightly, blocked with his elbow, grabbed Sasuke's arm, and threw him back with a resounding clap.
The figures of the three disappeared from sight, leaving only the sound of clashing weapons and booming impacts.
Only Kaguya could keep up with their movements.
Hinata, looking worried, stepped forward despite her fear.
"Kaguya-sama, will Colt be okay?"
Kaguya glanced at her and then looked toward the sky.
"I don't know. Hagoromo has grown much stronger, but Colt is also very powerful."
Though Kaguya was the ancestor of chakra, time has passed, and the Sage of Six Paths has become far stronger than when she was first sealed. She wasn't sure if she could beat him herself…
The onlookers below were in a daze.
They couldn't keep up with the battle—they could only hear the clashes, unable to tell who was winning.
In the sky above, Colt swung his thunderous blade at Sasuke, while Naruto counterattacked with a spiraling [Truth-Seeking Ball].
The battle moved past a mere testing of each other's abilities.
The power of the Six Paths level was fully unleashed before the world for the first time.
The sky churned violently, clouds disbanding and reforming with every impact.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Mountains collapsed, and waterfalls reversed their flow.
"Crack!"
Lightning tore through the sky, and a Kirin emerged, roaring to the heavens.
Colt raised his hand, summoning lightning to temporarily paralyze Naruto, then used [Shinra Tensei] to send Sasuke flying.
His expression turned grim.
The Sage of Six Paths was manipulating Sasuke and Naruto using his power of the Six Paths.
Colt was now fighting them, but in reality, he hadn't landed any significant blows on the Sage himself.
"Tsk," It was frustrating.
The battlefield extended far beyond the Land of Lightning.
Each movement was felt across the nations—the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth, and even the distant Land of Water.
The ground trembled, reshaped by every clash.
From [Water Style] creating rivers to [Fire Style] leveling mountains, the very world seemed to be at war.
Even those who had just awoken from the [Infinite Tsukuyomi] scrambled for cover, terrified of the devastation outside.
Bang!
Colt kicked Naruto, sending him crashing through two mountains.
He could swear he could hear Kushina yelling 'Colt, don't hit so hard'.
The Sage of Six Paths controlled Naruto, pulling him back to Sasuke.
Together, they formed a black spiraling shuriken crackling with lightning and hurled it at Colt.
The strength of Colt surprised the Sage of Six Paths.
Even though he had defeated Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, the Sage hadn't expected Colt to match him like this.
"After all, I'm borrowing others' bodies," the Sage thought to himself, frustrated.
Colt's wings of light flickered, a trace of annoyance in his eyes.
He had been holding back, afraid of seriously injuring Sasuke or Naruto.
But now, his patience was wearing thin.
"If you won't show yourself, I'll force you out."
Colt raised his right hand, clenching the air.
