"So what you're telling me is that there's a whole story of the Sage of Six Paths, Madara Uchiha, something called the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and an Alien Space Goddess involved??!" Naruto eventually said.

Sasuke nodded grimly, face stern and unchanging as always. It was a clear testament to how much he was not kidding around. No matter how ridiculous it may sound, this was the truth.

Naruto noticed this too, and he threw his arms up in exasperation. "Of course! I really shouldn't be surprised anymore. Anything goes at this point." He exclaimed. "Why am I surprised??"

"Well as much as this is not the most...stellar news we've dug up, at least this does explain the dreams," Sasuke said.

Naturo looks over in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Sasuke pointedly tapped against his forehead as he spoke. "It wasn't hard for me to figure out after I saw the Tablet. I noticed the story written on the tables closely resembles the dreams that we've been having."

"Wait, so are you saying..." Naruto's eyes widened. "That those dreams are the actual thing?"

Sasuke nodded in affirmative. "Yes, that's what I think."

"Why? What?? How???"

"I'm not sure either." Sasuke frowned. "But... I think there's someone who could help us."

At that, Naruto straightened up from his slump. "Wait, really? Who?"

Sasuke gestures at Naruto. "Isn't the Sage of Six Paths considered the father of the chakra beasts?"

Understanding dawns on Naruto as he scrambles into a meditative stance. "You're right! I'll wake Kurama up and ask."

"Do that. I'll try my best to transcribe the story onto paper while you're at it." Sasuke replied.

"Got it!"

Within Naruto's mindscape, Kurama was disturbed by the flaring, obviously, excited chakra as it merged itself with the water that licked at his fur.

What has gotten the kit so excited?

Kurama didn't need to wait long since just a second later, the blonde kit appeared in front of him.

"HEY KURAMA, ARE YOU AWAKE?" Naruto shouts.

"Stop yelling, I can hear you just fine," Kurama grumbled, lifting his head up. "What do you want?"

"Hey, so what do you know about the Sage of Six Paths?"

Kurama almost has to do a double-take at this question. Why does the kit want to know that of all things? And so suddenly?

"The Sage of Six Paths is the originator of chakra, as well as the one who brought the Biju into existence," Kurama answered. "We siblings know him as the Faher of Chakra"

Naruto stared at Kurama. "You know, I never thought about it, but you're an old fart."

Kurama snarled. "See if I ever help you again."

"I was joking!"

"Brat."

Naruto laughed, while Kurama sighed in resignation.

"Well, anyways, if you want to hear about the Sage of Six Paths, you should also know that Sage also had two kids. Very famous names, Indra and Ashura."
