With Uchiha Madara's body in hand, Naruto intended to use it as a medium to resurrect him with Impure World Reincarnation.
In a sense, Madara's pursuit of peace aligned with Naruto's; both yearned for Great Unification to reduce the endless strife in the Ninja World.
However, compared to Naruto, Madara had many shortcomings.
Firstly, he was headstrong and lacked the persuasive charisma of a leader. Secondly, he lacked the ability to manage the world after Great Unification.
An incompetent person in a high position would only make things worse than before.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Madara's early life was a failure.
And Madara's later life was even more of a failure.
He was deceived by Black Zetsu and embarked on a path of being the ultimate errand boy for Kaguya's revival. He thought he could usher in true peace after initiating the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
But in the end, he did not usher in peace. Having just reached the top rank on the entire server, he was hacked.
Although Madara had many shortcomings in his life, one thing could not be denied: the powerful strength he possessed.
Naruto was confident that he could persuade Madara to help him achieve peace.
He also had enough strength and confidence to keep him in check, preventing him from becoming his enemy and going in the opposite direction. Therefore, when Naruto obtained Madara's body, his first thought was to revive him.
Naruto had never taken the enemies in the Ninja World seriously. What worried him were the Otsutsuki Clan powerhouses who would eventually come to the Ninja World.
There was Isshiki, whose power was no less than Kaguya's and whose actual combat power was even stronger, as well as those Otsutsuki main family powerhouses who had lived for who knows how long and possessed even greater power and abilities.
These were not easy to deal with.
And besides Sasuke, Madara was also a good helper.
The prepared sacrifice, a Hashirama Clone that had been matured in just half a year using Hashirama Senju's cells, with a very short lifespan, but perfect for use as a sacrifice, was teleported in by a Shadow Clone using the Flying Thunder God Guiding Thunder Technique.
Naruto formed the Impure World Reincarnation hand seals and pressed them onto the sacrifice.
Chakra was consumed, the technique took effect, and the boundary between life and death was opened.
Using Madara's body tissue as a medium, he located Madara's soul in the Pure Land. Next, he only needed to summon it to complete the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
However, three seconds later, nothing happened.
The sacrifice was still the sacrifice, but Uchiha Madara, who should have been resurrected with Impure World Reincarnation, did not appear.
He glanced at Madara's body, which still retained a pure and powerful Chakra even after many years of death. It wasn't fake.
It wasn't the first time he had used the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but it was the first time it had failed after use.
Not believing it, Naruto tried several more times, but the final result was the same without exception: all summons failed.
"Sage of Six Paths?"
In the end, Naruto's expression was unsightly, and only this guess remained in his mind.
Although in the manga, the Sage of Six Paths said that he must come to the present world when the Chakra of Indra and Asura, and the Chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts converge.
However, the manga also said that the Sage of Six Paths' Chakra had been drifting in the world, silently observing and guarding the normal operation of the Ninja World he created.
From his later performance of casually summoning the souls of the past Kage, and then everyone working together to set up a Summoning Barrier to summon Team 7, who had completed the sealing of Kaguya, back, one point can be completely affirmed.
The Sage of Six Paths is the master of the Pure Land, possessing the ability to freely travel between the mortal world and the Pure Land.
Because of this, Naruto had some speculations about the Sage of Six Paths' subsequent actions of actively dividing the Ten Tails into the nine Tailed Beasts and voluntarily giving up his eternal life.
Having reached his level, the boundary between life and death had long become blurred to the point of near invisibility. Whether dead or alive was a matter of indifference to the Sage of Six Paths.
At this point, the existence of the Ten Tails was likely not a boost to Hagoromo's strength but rather a burden. He had to constantly expend power to suppress the Ten Tails.
In that case, it would be better to simply divide the Ten Tails into the nine Tailed Beasts and then go to the Pure Land to guard the cycle of reincarnation, preventing his mother from reincarnating through such means.
Perhaps, the existence of the Pure Land itself was Hagoromo's Bloodline Combination ability; it was not impossible.
This can be glimpsed from Hamura, who had been dead for thousands of years, yet his Chakra still remained on the Moon.
The significance of Hagoromo maintaining the Ninja World under his control lies in his ability to harvest the Chakra and souls accumulated over the long period of time in the entire Ninja World, as well as the knowledge accumulated by the entire civilization, to continuously supply his own growth.
After thousands of years of growth, Hagoromo's strength had reached a level that ordinary people could not imagine.
He even had enough leeway to directly boost the Chakra reincarnations of his two sons, directly elevating their strength by several major realms, and even directing a play where his descendants sealed Kaguya and saved the world again.
This is also why Naruto held a wary attitude towards the Sage of Six Paths after reading the manga before.
However, after obtaining the Sage of Six Paths Techniques passed down by Sasuke from the Parallel World, Naruto changed his view of the Sage of Six Paths quite a bit.
He believed that he might not have really thought that much, and everything was just a coincidence.
But now, the failure to summon Uchiha Madara, a warning-like action, made Naruto realize that he was still too naive.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Naruto understood what the Sage of Six Paths was probably thinking.
"Because Sasuke and I from the Parallel World, under the subtle influence of Indra and Asura's Chakra, gradually became like his sons in the Sage of Six Paths' understanding."
"Because he understands the personalities of his sons, he knows that no matter how outrageous the things they do, they will not exceed his expectations, so the Sage of Six Paths can help them without reservation."
"But I in this world am essentially different from me in the Parallel World. I have not been affected by Asura's Chakra, and Sasuke is the same. Gradually, we have grown into a form he does not understand."
"Judging from my previous actions of sealing Black Zetsu and Obito, I also have a deeper understanding of this world than the Sage of Six Paths imagines, so Hagoromo cannot predict what kind of changes I can bring to the world now."
"So, he stopped me when I summoned Madara, using this to show his presence and remind me not to go too far? If I were not the reincarnation of Asura's Chakra, would you have directly taken action?"
"Or, now that you are dead, existing in the form of Chakra, are you not as strong as I imagined?"
