After calming herself, Tsunade lifted her head and stared at Arata. "Since you can see the future… does that mean Uchiha Shisui isn't dead? And what about the masked man who appeared the night of the massacre?"
Arata smiled faintly. "Shisui is alive. I staged his death so the Uchiha clan could withdraw smoothly before I had the chance to control the Third Hokage and Danzo."
"As for the masked man, he came to provoke the Uchiha not long ago. I couldn't kill him, but I struck him with one of my ocular techniques.
Even if he's immortal, he'll suffer terribly. He won't dare show himself again anytime soon."
Tsunade stared at him in disbelief. "You really have countless ocular techniques…"
Arata only smiled, offering no explanation.
She understood. Everyone had secrets.
Instead of prying, Tsunade shifted the topic, discussing with Arata the future invasion of Konoha by Pain's Six Paths .... because among all the future fragments, that catastrophe was the most devastating.
Tsunade had now completely believed everything Uchiha Arata had said.
At the same time, she placed extreme importance on the future appearance of Pain's Six Paths.
After all, those Six Paths not only killed the powerful Jiraiya, but also invaded Konoha and completely destroyed the entire village.
Although Naruto later persuaded Pain to resurrect the fallen villagers, that outcome relied heavily on coincidence and emotional persuasion. Such uncertain factors could never be depended upon again.
Tsunade looked at Arata and said gravely, "That man who invaded Konoha… he possessed special eyes and could even resurrect the dead."
Arata nodded and explained, "That eye is recorded in the ancient history of the Uchiha clan.
Its appearance matches the legendary eyes of the Sage of Six Paths. It is called the Rinnegan."
"It possesses countless abilities ....manipulating corpses, sharing vision, and controlling life and death.
Its greatest power is resurrection. However, judging from the price required, using it costs the user their own life."
Tsunade nodded solemnly. She never imagined that within her lifetime, the legendary Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths would truly appear.
She raised her gaze toward Arata. "Is this why you want to become a god?"
Arata smiled faintly and shook his head. "Not quite. What I showed you was only a small fragment of the future. I didn't show you the rest ..... it was too advanced."
"Pain is only one piece of the puzzle. When we deal with him, I'll reveal what comes next. But I can tell you this much: the enemies that appear later will all reach Six Paths level.
If we do not become strong enough, they will wipe us out with a single gesture."
Tsunade frowned. "Six Paths level?"
Arata patiently explained, "I divided ninja strength into levels. Previously, the highest was the Super Kage level. Your grandfather, Senju Hashirama, and Uchiha Madara once stood at that realm."
"But once someone surpasses the peak of Super Kage, they enter the Six Paths level.
At that stage, one can suppress Super Kage-level experts single-handedly."
Tsunade finally grasped the terror behind those words. Comparing it to Super Kage level made the Six Paths level horrifying.
She stared into Arata's eyes. "Will there be many Super Kage-level fighters in the future?"
Arata calculated briefly. "From what I've seen… around six or seven."
He hesitated slightly, unsure whether Might Guy's Eight Gates should be counted, since its power was temporary.
Even so, Tsunade felt a chill down her spine.
Back then, just two Super Kage-level figures ..... Hashirama and Madara .... had nearly overturned the entire ninja world. If so many Six Paths-level beings appeared in the future, the world itself would surely collapse.
Shaking her thoughts aside, Tsunade took a deep breath and asked seriously, "So what is your plan? What do you need my cooperation for?"
Arata met her gaze. "I need you. In the future, every Six Paths-level existence will possess unique bloodlines.
Ordinary people have limits far too low .... even reaching Super Kage is nearly impossible."
He paused.
"Tsunade, you are the direct descendant of the Senju clan.
If your bloodline ends with you, it would be a tragic loss for the entire ninja world."
Tsunade's cheeks instantly flushed crimson.
As the princess of the Senju clan, she bore responsibility for continuing her lineage.
Yet ever since the deaths of her brother and lover, she had become deeply afraid of forming bonds again —...afraid of losing what she cherished once more.
Though Jiraiya had pursued her for many years, she had never reciprocated.
His usual behavior — drinking, peeping, and writing vulgar novels — had long destroyed any remaining goodwill.
