"You should know that if you don't do this—" The Sage of Six Paths looked at Hagoromo, his tone turning somewhat cold.
"What do you think your mother is capable of doing now?"
Hagoromo glanced at Otsutsuki Kaguya beside him, who still seemed unable to Chakra.
The Sage of Six Paths paused, to be honest, he didn't understand how Hagoromo's move had directly rendered his mother unable to use Chakra.
"How dare you mock me!"
Otsutsuki Kaguya felt utterly humiliated and glared at Hagoromo, rebuking him.
Hagoromo rolled her eyes. "Do you think I'm bored? Let's keep quiet."
"I say, you're the second Six Paths level person in the Shinobi World, why do you have to care about the so-called prophecy of Mount Myōboku?"
Hagoromo looked at the Sage of Six Paths and noticed that the Sage of Six Paths seemed to plan all his actions according to the prophecy of Mount Myōboku.
"Because Gamamaru's predictions have never been wrong."
The Sage of Six Paths spoke.
"Just because there's no mistake doesn't mean we have to do exactly what he says?" Hagoromo retorted again.
"If we can act according to Gamamaru's prophecy, it will be beneficial to the Shinobi World." The Sage of Six Paths shook his head.
"What are the benefits? When that time comes, will you be trapped in a huge Genjutsu, or will some people fight desperately?" Hagoromo asked, looking directly at the Sage of Six Paths.
"At least, everyone in the Shinobi World is still alive and well." The Sage of Six Paths maintained his opinion.
Who are you? What gives you the right to make decisions for everyone?
Hagoromo scoffed.
"And what about you? Did you consult with other people before making this decision?" the Sage of Six Paths retorted, not to be outdone.
"It's easy. Right now, there are the Kage of the Five Great Nations here. They should be able to make decisions on behalf of others, right?" Hagoromo looked at the crowd below the barrier.
The crowd, who were already taken aback by the appearance of the Sage of Six Paths, quickly came to their senses.
"Everyone, I ask you, after this battle, will the Shinobi World be at peace for more than ten years?" Hagoromo said softly.
"But a decade or so later, when we grow old, an even more powerful enemy will come from beyond the heavens. The older generation will be powerless to stop it, and their memories may even be rewritten by an unstoppable force."
Do you think this will work?
"Hagoromo, the even more powerful enemy you mentioned, could it be the 'Ōtsutsuki'?" Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to ask.
Unlike Tobirama and Minato, Hiruzen Sarutobi genuinely didn't know.
"Yes, Master, she is even more powerful than the current one." Hagoromo nodded, pointing to Otsutsuki Kaguya beside her.
"Impossible. If I knew where these guys were right now, and from what you've said, they shouldn't have recovered yet, right?" The Fourth Raikage A, was the first to speak up.
"That's right. He was ambushed and nearly killed by this person a thousand years ago, and he's probably still recovering from his injuries." Hagoromo nodded again to confirm.
"Then I would choose to kill him now. I don't like danger to linger and constantly threaten me," Ōnoki said.
"I, Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, am the same." Tobirama stated his position directly.
"That's right, Kirigakure is the same," Mei Terumi chimed in.
"Just like Sunagakure." Gaara looked exhausted, but still managed to speak.
The Sage of Six Paths remained silent. He had just refuted Hagoromo, but now each of them was admitting that their actions were wrong.
"You see? The Sage of Six Paths?" Hagoromo shrugged. "While we abhor war, that doesn't mean we'll accept leaving such suffering to future generations."
"If that were truly the case, Fourth Shinobi World War wouldn't have started at this time."
The Sage of Six Paths fell silent; he didn't know how to express himself or continue his thoughts.
Now, the Kage of all the major Shinobi World nations have expressed their opinions. Will the ninja below obey this man who has been dead for over a thousand years, or will they obey the orders of the Kage?
There's no need to even think about it.
"I still don't approve of your approach. Besides, are you sure my mother wouldn't do something drastic?"
Hagoromo turned to look at Otsutsuki Kaguya, "You seem to be quite a failure, even your own son doesn't trust you."
Otsutsuki Kaguya closed her eyes. Doing it was one thing, but actually hearing it was another.
"Back then, I did indeed want to use human lives to produce more Chakra Fruits faster."
As if giving up on something, Otsutsuki Kaguya spoke directly.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Depend on!
Hagoromo was speechless. This woman, who said such things as soon as she got excited.
"You really want to be sealed away again?" Hagoromo said coldly.
"Whatever, you've already sealed my Chakra anyway," Otsutsuki Kaguya said.
From within her sleeve, Black Zetsu cried out in despair, "Mother! This can't be! We still have a chance!"
Hagoromo twitched the corner of her mouth. In the end, it turned out that Black Zetsu was the one with the strongest will.
"Let me ask you a question: Does the Ōtsutsuki possess a different kind of perception, or an ability, that can shield them from the conventional perception of the Shinobi World?"
Hagoromo Yi asked.
"That's right, this is also for some special circumstances, such as my current situation, and the Isshiki from a thousand years ago," Otsutsuki Kaguya said.
Even the Ōtsutsuki, who considers himself a god, worries about failing at some point and falling into weakness.
Therefore, they all possess a special technique that allows them to shield themselves even when they are at their weakest.
Only those with the Ōtsutsuki Clan blood can sense it.
"You've inscribed a contract on me; I need to use your ability," Hagoromo said.
"Are you sick?" Otsutsuki Kaguya said. Hagoromo was able to mention the contract, so she should know how terrifying this thing was, yet she still dared to let her use it on herself.
Do you believe you have the ability to advance to the second stage?
Hagoromo rolled his eyes; he was genuinely not afraid that Otsutsuki Kaguya would possess his body.
It's important to understand that the system's interface represents permanent attributes. Once Otsutsuki Kaguya inscribed a contract on him, it signified that this power belonged to her. And what if that power wanted to backfire?
You're overthinking it.
Otsutsuki Kaguya remained silent. She truly didn't know the extent of Hagoromo's power; she couldn't even see through her Byakugan.
"Hagoromo, don't be so extreme," Hiruzen Sarutobi said.
Hagoromo is the next Hokage; he absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble.
Hagoromo waved her hand and said, "It's alright, Master. When have you ever seen me do something without knowing the consequences?"
Tobirama also disagreed, "Hey, junior, although you're very powerful now, there are some things you have to be careful about, even if it's just in case."
"I do have an idea, would you like to take a look?"
