The Shinobi World's Age-Old Tradition of Dutiful Sons

The Shinobi World needs development.

The Sage of Six Paths looked at the Hagoromo, his tone unusually heavy.

"The trajectory of the next Child of the Prophecy has not yet appeared, and you have already disrupted it."

"According to the original plan, Naruto and Sasuke, these two Child of the Prophecy, were to complete their missions and then wait for the next Child of the Prophecy to appear."

"Bullshit!"

Hagoromo stared directly at Hagoromo Otsutsuki, "You dare say they are the Child of the Prophecy? Why not let them end everything in this era, instead of constantly pinning your hopes on this so-called future?"

"The two most likely to succeed are deliberately dragged to the next critical juncture, and then forced to sacrifice their own strength so that the next generation can rise above them."

"Or, you two brothers should have resolved this matter from the very beginning, after you took over the power from your mother!"

This is what angered Hagoromo the most.

After he achieved a certain level of mastery in Yin–Yang Release, he sensed that something was amiss.

Even he could occasionally see glimpses of the future, so why did Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki choose their own paths back then?

One who founded the Ninshu in the Shinobi World, and then watched the Shinobi World split and reunite for so many years.

One claimed to be going to the moon to suppress his mother, but all his preparations were to ensure that his future clansmen would be the first to know of the descent of the Ōtsutsuki Clan from outer space.

This was so that his descendants could contact the Shinobi World immediately.

"Only when this world has experienced Fourth Shinobi World Wars and understands the importance of mutual understanding between people will it be capable of fighting a war in the future."

The Sage of Six Paths shook his head. What he wanted was never to annihilate the Ōtsutsuki Clan and eliminate the threat with the power of a few people.

It is through the unity and cooperation of everyone in the Shinobi World that a better future can be achieved.

"I'm saying, aren't you even more naive than your mother?"

Hagoromo was truly speechless; who would have thought that the Sage of Six Paths would be such a naive person?

No, it should be that the paths chosen by his two sons, Indra and Asura, showed Hagoromo Otsutsuki a different way.

"If there had truly been a chance back then, you should have let your two sons use their own abilities to find the Ōtsutsuki Clan and eliminate them completely."

"The Shinobi World has been divided and united for so many years, and decades ago, because of the reincarnation of your second son, it didn't even think about unifying itself. Instead, it used this opportunity to distribute all the Tailed Beasts, thus missing this opportunity once again."

"Do you really believe that the current Shinobi World can, in the future, achieve great things and reach the level of this clan?"

After Hagoromo finished speaking, she fell silent and quietly looked at the Sage of Six Paths.

The Sage of Six Paths sighed, looked solemnly at the Hagoromo before him, and slowly said, "The Six Paths Power... cannot remain dispersed indefinitely. When it is concentrated in one person..."

"Then that person must leave the Shinobi World and thus sit back and watch its development unfold."

"Excessive intervention will lead to an increasingly unpredictable direction."

"Therefore, back then, Hamura and I split our Six Paths Powers to delay our escape from the Shinobi World."

"But now, Hamura's Six Paths Power has fallen into the Shinobi World, while my Six Paths Power has been floating in the Shinobi World for so many years, and a large part of it has ended up in your body."

After the Sage of Six Paths finished speaking, he sighed again.

"I'm calling you here so you can really think things through. Are you absolutely sure you can withstand this unpredictable future?"

Why not?

Hagoromo remained remarkably calm.

His efforts have always been aimed at getting Naruto off the predetermined path.

Whether it's the Fourth Shinobi World War or the future descent of the Ōtsutsuki.

When you are at your strongest, you can simply crush some people; why make the next generation suffer the same fate?

"More than sixty years ago, Hashirama Senju wasted an opportunity; more than sixty years later, that opportunity has come again."

Hagoromo slowly rose to her feet and said, "I cannot let this opportunity slip away again."

"You think you know everything, but have you asked the people of the Shinobi World now if they want the next generation to suffer such a thing?"

Silence

At this moment, Hagoromo Otsutsuki truly didn't know how to respond to Hagoromo's words.

Who would want to leave suffering to the next generation?

Did you ask your mother back then?

Hagoromo rubbed her temples and said something.

"Mother?"

The Sage of Six Paths looked up at Hagoromo, somewhat puzzled.

"Could it be that your mother knew something back then, which is why she wanted to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, hoping to use it to resist some kind of being?"

"And you two brothers didn't even let her finish speaking?"

After all, Otsutsuki Kaguya's division of power was far too obvious.

While the King of the Land of Ancestors might allow Otsutsuki Kaguya due to fear and so-called political considerations, he wouldn't go so far as to drag the entire world down with her.

Unless... Otsutsuki Kaguya is a love-obsessed person.

Furthermore, the reason Otsutsuki Kaguya swallowed the Chakra Fruit was actually to protect their two sons.

But unexpectedly, his two sons sealed him away.

"Was the White Zetsu of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path really transformed from people in the Shinobi World by Otsutsuki Kaguya?"

Hagoromo voiced her doubts, and the Sage of Six Paths shook his head after hearing them.

"I don't know."

"While mastering the Six Paths Power allows one to glimpse some things in the future, it does not enable one to rewind to the past."

"By the time Hamura up, my mother already possessed countless White Zetsu."

Hagoromo was speechless. So, these two rebellious sons, based on their own imaginations, thought their mother wanted to destroy the world?

Goodness, the tradition of filial piety in the Shinobi World since ancient times originated from these two.

"Fine, hand over the Six Paths Power within you."

Hagoromo stood up and looked at the Sage of Six Paths. "I see no hope in what you have done, so I will proceed according to my own methods."

"You..."

The Sage of Six Paths looked at the Hagoromo before him.

"You should understand better than I how bleak the future you've glimpsed is."

Hagoromo said calmly, "I cannot stand by and watch this happen."

The Sage of Six Paths remained silent for a long time. "Then let this be the deal."

"A deal?" Hagoromo asked, puzzled.

"That's right, I'll give you the Six Paths Power, but you need to give it to Naruto and Sasuke. They are the Child of the Prophecy of this generation, and everything in the Shinobi World must follow their lead."

"Furthermore, after we leave, I expect you to reseal my mother."

As he spoke, the Sage of Six Paths pointed to the fleshy ball on the water mirror below, which was already faintly resembling the face of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

"I will do it after I understand some things."
