Kyuubi's words made me slowly type out a - no, a string of question marks.

My shell, isn’t it Sir An?

Isn't this obviously a person?

Wait, he said that I was still hiding something when we met last time - that is to say, in Jiu Lama's eyes, I was still in a human shell when we met last time, but not this time.

It occurred to me that this was an obvious reason.

My personality has changed.

Only this can make me change so drastically without even realizing it.

The only one who can help me with this is...

Black! Absolute!

What on earth are you thinking about every day?

After I abandoned my identity as Izuna, I was immediately expelled from the human race just because I added a pair of Rinnegan, right?

I severely dissed Hei Zetsu in my heart, and then looked at Jiu Lama - it felt like he also knew something.

Anyway, he looks quite innocent, so it shouldn't be difficult to get any information from him, right?

I gathered my emotions, raised my eyebrows, and asked back, "Why, did you see that?"

"I was also one of the people who heard about this matter from that old man, so of course I can see it." Jiu Lama said as a matter of course, "However, even that old man failed in the end, and I didn't expect that it was his son who failed..."

"What is success and what is failure - it's difficult to define. How can you say that the Sage of Six Paths failed?" I think the "old man" that Kurama mentioned can only be the Sage of Six Paths.

Jiu Lama looked at me and sighed, "If that old man had succeeded in passing down his spiritual body, the Ninja Clan wouldn't be in the state it is today. Doesn't that count as a failure?"

I didn't say anything, just smiled in an unfathomable way.

Behind this “mysterious” feeling, I felt very proud.

Kurama is so easy to trick. I haven't used any tricks yet. I just mentioned the name of the Sage of Six Paths and he believed in my identity without a doubt?

"The old man once said that the purer the spirit, the easier it is to leave "missing". And the old man's body and spirit have always been in a state of balance, so the last attempt also failed." Speaking of these past events, Jiu Lama's expression couldn't help but have a little more nostalgia, as if the past events were vivid in his mind, "However, I have never heard that just "missing" can evolve to your level."

That’s because I feel more than just “missing” you!

However, if this setting is used as the basis, it is much safer than what I originally thought of the character of "Indra" itself, and it is less likely to be exposed in front of Black Zetsu.

After all, he must have paid special attention to Indra's situation in the past. When the Shinobi clan split, Black Zetsu must have played a big role.

I thought that even from the original work, this setting can be traced back to the past.

Because the Six Paths Sage did not fail, it was just that the "thoughts" he left behind were not strong enough to maintain his physical form. But didn't he preserve the Six Paths and Yin-Yang chakras, and in the end he saved Sasuke and Naruto who were almost dead?

The Sage of Six Paths who appeared in their spiritual world at that time should be the "missing" mentioned by Kurama, and it was also the last insurance left by the Sage of Six Paths.

As sensitive as the Six Paths Sage is, he must be more or less on guard against his sealed mother, right?

He was afraid that Kaguya-hime had left some backup plan, so he had to leave a layer of insurance after his death.

It turns out that the Sage of Six Paths' concerns were warranted.

"Okay, is this the only reason you called me here?" I digested this new setting and felt very happy.

Jiu Lama shook his nine tails, "Not only that, there is another thing."

I'm waiting for his next words.

"When Old Man Liudao was still alive, he once warned the nine of us seriously that no matter what happened, we must not gather together."

As I listened to Kyuubi's words, my eyes suddenly lit up.

"All nine of us knew about this, but sometimes the old man only had time to leave me this thing," he said, opening his mouth.

I watched as a ray of light, a combination of dark red and cyan, slowly lit up in his dark mouth. The two colors blended together, going against the three primary colors and eventually turning into a bright orange ball.

The small ball slipped from his mouth, and when it was about to hit the outside, it was blocked by the electric current connected between the iron fences.

Jiu Lama used his claws to hold the small bead and made it stop just near the iron fence.

I moved closer and looked at this bead that was half my height. It was covered with cracks, and bright light seemed to be about to flow out from the cracks at any time.

"What is this?" I saw him nodding reservedly, with no intention of speaking, so I could only ask with a smile.

"This is the 'Thought' that the old man had prepared. Although it failed, it has other uses," Jiu Lama lowered his head, "It is said that this place carries the connection between my tailed beasts. This connection has maintained a balance for many years, but when this balance begins to be broken, it will issue a warning. When it reaches its limit, this thing will be completely broken."

Is this the "longing" of the Six Paths Sage?

As I looked at this bead, I suddenly remembered the reason why the Sage of Six Paths suddenly appeared in the spiritual world of Naruto and Sasuke - what was that opportunity?

Could it be the death of the reincarnations of his two sons?

If this is the case, then didn't the Sage of Six Paths never show up in all the previous generations of death?

With this "missing" kept by Jiu Lama, everything makes sense.

This energy body hidden in the body of the Nine-Tails is the "key" left by the Six-Path Sage. The imbalance between the tailed beasts has reached its peak - most likely referring to the appearance of the Ten-Tails.

When the Ten-Tails appeared, it meant that Kaguya was just one step away from resurrection, and the Six Paths Sage needed to use this last chance before Kaguya's resurrection to restore the status quo.

That's why he put this thing here with Kyuubi.

Because there is a certain relationship of strength between the tailed beasts, if the tailed beasts are to be collected to revive the Ten Tails, then Kurama will most likely be the last tailed beast to be integrated.

With this bead to serve as a warning to him, there might be a chance to stop the Ten-Tails before it is truly resurrected.

So I asked, "Jiulama, has this "longing" ever had a crack in the past?"

He thought for a moment, then answered me, "It happened many years ago, but it healed quickly, so I didn't think much about it. It's just that the crack this time is too severe, it has never been this severe before."

When I heard this, I thought to myself, "As expected."

The current situation is definitely not the first time that Hei Zetsu has implemented the plan to resurrect Kaguya, but this time seems to be the closest to success.

That's why the warning left by the Six Paths Sage would cause such a strong reaction.

"Why do you tell me?" I stretched out my hand, and my fingers actually passed through the seal of the iron railing and went directly into the inside.

Because I am now a "non-human", do I have this privilege?

The moment I stepped into the seal, I felt like I was falling down the height of a staircase. My original chakra was empty and my feet were buried directly in the water.

This seal is a seal that blocks chakra, so this situation occurs.

But the strange thing is that the seal didn't completely cut off my chakra, it just weakened it. It's like if I wanted to step on the water and stand on the surface, I would need to output a unit of "1" of chakra, but inside I would need to output a unit of "2", just doubling it.

But it was already wet, so I was too lazy to tread water anymore.

"The old man gave me this thing because he wanted me to take care of it. I remember the last time he had a rift, I talked about this with the Jinchuriki at the time. The Jinchuriki at the time was a rare member of the Uchiha clan. We had a good relationship, and he later helped to restore the balance of the Tailed Beast situation."

Kurama's meaning is very clear. Does he think that I can maintain the balance left by the Six Paths Sage?

Sure enough, to him, the Six Paths Sage was like an old father, this bead was the old father's legacy, and the balance of the tailed beasts was the old father's last wish.

He didn't want to destroy even this last bit of hope.

However, his relationship with Naruto might not have been as close as it was in the end, and the strength displayed by Naruto might still not meet his expectations.

Is that why he thought of me?

Although he has only seen me twice including this time, I am wearing the filter of "Son of the Six Paths", so for him, it can be said that he loves me and loves my dog.

I nodded to show my understanding.

Originally, this is what I was going to do.

"Don't worry, I will pay close attention to this matter." As I said this, I reached my hand into the cracks of the beads. The light inside was warm, which made me feel very comfortable.

With the length of my arm, I could just poke into the core of the bead. The moment my finger went in, I felt a sudden burning sensation, and something suddenly rose up through my body.

I quickly pulled my hand out.

With the bright light of the beads, I could see that the last bit of "pigment" left on my index finger from the previous Izuna Kaleidoscope was like a crack, and then it healed rapidly under my gaze.

After the fingertips heal, there is no trace of "paint" left.

I looked up and met Jiu Lama's eyes filled with shock and surprise.

"What's wrong? You seem surprised." I didn't ask a question, I just used this sentence to seduce him to give me an answer.

What happened?

But he was speechless and choked, and his fierce eyes softened.

He rubbed his hairy head against me, and finally swallowed the bead again.

Before I could ask anything else, my spirit body suddenly broke apart and I left the seal.
