This weeks manga continues on from chapter 670: The beginning. Chapter 670 expands on the moment when obito regains the Bijuu's (tailed beast) back from Madara. Naruto is on the verge of death when Kurama the 9 tailed beast leaves his request to Gaara that he ensure that the chakra of his other half enters the body of naruto so that he will be saved. However, when obito manages to get all the tailed beast's chakra to enter naruto's body he begins to recover. In the moment that obito transfers over the Bijuu's into naruto's body naruto finds himself within his own mind. Naruto without question thinks he's dead when suddenly he is approached by a man with the physical attributes of the sage of six paths. This man eventually reveals himself to be Hagoromo. Hagoromo is one of the sons of Kaguya Otsutsuki. Kaguya because of war in her era ventured out to eat the fruit from the god tree unaware of what would happen to her. When Kaguya ate the fruit she gained a great amount of power that enabled her to cease all wars that were taking place and was to be feared by villages because of her power. Kaguya obtained the byakugan in both of her eyes. As a Kekkei Genkai she did obtain the sharingan as a third eye in the middle of her forehead which is extremely rare and unheard of. Hagoromo and his brother fought the ten tailed beast as a means of repenting for their mothers sins when she ate the fruit from the god tree. After Hagoromo and his brother defeated the ten tails beast Hagoromo sealed the beast within himself becoming the jinchuriki (host) of the ten tailed beast. When Hagoromo became the jinchuriki of the ten tailed beast he became the first sage of the six paths obtaining a dojutsu named the Rinnegan. Hagoromo then had 2 sons. The names of Hagoromo's sons were, Ashura and Indra. Indra was the older brother and Ashura the younger sibling. Hagoromo taught his sons what is called Ninshuu. Ninshuu was established by Hagoromo to be a code by which shinobi should live by that used chakra to connect peoples emotions that helped one another to understand each other in harmony. However, when his mother ate from the god tree she was introduced to chakra and created what we know as ninjutsu that was used for war continuously throughout the early eras of shinobi. What seperated Ashura from Indra was that Ashura had to work hard with the cooperation of others to achieve his goals and Indra was naturally talented accomplishing his goals easily by talent. Ashura inherited the strength of Hagoromo through working hard and Indra inherited the visual prowess of Hagoromo but in a smaller degree called the sharingan. Towards Hagoromos death he considers Ashura to be the successor of Ninshuu being able to connect with people and bringing people together symbolizing the idealistic views of love. Indra didn't become successor because he found no reason to connect with others compensating with his natural talent symbolizing hate. As a result Indra was enraged and brought war to Ashura for centuries as they reincarnated from era to era. When Hagoromo continues to talk with naruto he explains he has watches his children fight for centuries. Hagoromo also explains that the current reincarnations of his sons are Naruto as Ashura and Sasuke as Indra which is not as devastating as you think it would be when Naruto hears of this. However, after asking Naruto and Sasuke what it is that they want he grants them with power to defeat Madara and change the fate of the shinobi world by asking them to reach out with their dominant arms towards him.
