While Obito's reaction was one of considerable shock, the others in attendance, who may not have been as well-informed, didn't display the same level of surprise. However, as the Kages and more knowledgeable ninjas took in the appearance of the figure and, particularly, his distinctive eyes, they swiftly deduced that they were in the presence of the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
"Is that the legendary Sage of Six Paths?" inquired Raikage A, seeking confirmation.
To affirm this, Eight-Tails responded, "Indeed, he is the Sage of Six Paths, the one who created me and the other tailed-beasts."
Kurama, who resided within Naruto, also grew agitated and questioned, "How has the Old Man appeared here? Has he been reincarnated?"
Sensing Nine-Tails' agitation, Naruto asked, "Hey, Stinky Fox, do you know this old man?"
Nine-Tails, discontent with Naruto's informal reference, retorted, "Quiet, boy! He is the creator of all of us, a fatherly figure to us tailed beasts, and is known to humans as the Sage of Six Paths."
Hearing Nine-Tails' explanation, Naruto scratched his head, showing his usual curiosity. He inquired, "Really? By the way, who is this Sage of Six Paths?"
Naruto's question was audible to those around him, prompting Tsunade to speculate about his conversation. She asked, "Naruto, did Nine-Tails say something to you just now?"
Naruto confirmed, "Yes, he mentioned that the old man over there is the Sage of Six Paths who created all the tailed beasts." He pointed towards Hagoromo to emphasize his point.
Upon learning this, the others were taken aback. Jiraiya, however, appeared pleased and exclaimed, "If that's truly the Sage of Six Paths, we need not be concerned about Mount Myoboku."
Not everyone shared Jiraiya's optimism, though. Ino-Shika-Cho, who had a close relationship with Jiryoku, felt apprehensive. While they were unsure of Hagoromo's strength, they did recognize that the Sage of Six Paths was the creator of all the tailed beasts, which were akin to nuclear weapons in the ninja world. They couldn't fathom just how powerful Hagoromo might be.
In a concerned tone, Ino couldn't help but mutter, "Jiryoku."
Pain observed and while touching his eyes he said, "These are the same eyes as his."
Konan nodded in agreement.
Orochimaru, overwhelmed by regret for missing the chance to study Jiryoku's strength, looked at the Sage of Six Paths with an almost manic obsession. He couldn't wait to uncover the mysteries hidden within the Sage's body, but he also recognized the futility of attempting anything against the person who could easily overpower him. After all, someone with just the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths had crushed his ambitions, let alone the Sage himself.
The scene shifted to the location where Gamamura had summoned the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo. Gamamura, with tears in his eyes, expressed his deep apologies, "I am truly sorry, my friend. Because of me, your afterlife has been disturbed. Mount Myoboku is now on the verge of destruction."
Hagoromo, his eyes filled with surprise, inquired, "But how is that possible? Your strength is formidable, and the other toads are powerful as well. How could it come to this?"
With a solemn expression, Gamamura briefly recounted the dire situation, aware that he had to be concise due to Hagoromo's limited time in this form.
Hagoromo expressed his weariness with a sigh, saying, "Sigh! This cycle of revenge is truly endless."
He then gazed at Iwayado and Gamashiri and asked, "Weren't they present when I first arrived at Mount Myoboku?"
Gamamura nodded in response to Hagoromo's question.
Hagoromo remained silent on this matter, deep in thought. He then turned his attention to the Konoha ninjas, specifically to Nine-Tails, Kurama, and greeted him, "Kurama, it's nice to see you after so long."
Kurama smiled and made a request to Naruto, "Boy, don't resist for a moment. I'd like to manifest my form."
Naruto was initially wary but asked, "You promise you won't cause any trouble, right?"
Kurama assured him, "No, I won't, especially in front of the old man, whom I consider as a father."
Naruto nodded and informed Tsunade, "I'm loosening the seal a bit."
Tsunade acknowledged his decision, and with the loosening of the seal, Kurama's face emerged. Kurama greeted Hagoromo, saying, "It's been so long since I saw you, old man."
Hagoromo nodded in acknowledgment and then addressed Gyuki, "You seem to be doing well, and it looks like you've found a good friend."
Gyuki also manifested in a similar manner, revealing only his mouth, and responded, "I'm happy to see you after all this time."
Hagoromo observed, "I can't sense quite a few of your siblings; it seems events have already begun."
As his gaze shifted, Hagoromo looked in the direction of Pain, Obito, and Nagato. Nagato, who was relatively distant, broke into a cold sweat, sensing that Hagoromo wasn't merely looking at Pain but directly at him.
Hagoromo, addressing Kurama, continued, "Kurama, I always believed that someday you would find someone who can truly understand you. So, my request to you is to try and build a friendly relationship with your host."
Kurama remained silent in response and didn't offer any comments.
Hagoromo then turned his attention to Naruto and said, "Naruto, I can't fully comprehend what you've been through, but one thing I can say for sure is that Kurama may appear tough on the outside, but deep down, he's quite gentle. You'll come to know that when you take the time to get to know him better."
