"Ancestor Hamura has disappeared? Just as I guessed..."
"What did you say?"
Soji had spoken very quietly, and Otsutsuki Toneri had not heard him clearly.
"Ah? Nothing. I was just wondering where Ancestor Hamura went. If that's the case, then the Sage of Six Paths has probably disappeared too, right?"
At that moment, Soji spoke again.
The Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and Otsutsuki Hamura had always advanced and retreated together. Soji refused to believe that Otsutsuki Hamura had vanished while Otsutsuki Hagoromo was still in the Ninja World!
However, Otsutsuki Toneri shook his head this time.
"I don't know about the Sage of Six Paths. Perhaps he is still somewhere watching over the Ninja World, or perhaps, like Ancestor Hamura, he has already disappeared."
Though Otsutsuki Toneri said that, deep down, he leaned more toward the latter possibility.
After all, it was one thing for the Sage of Six Paths to ignore the Ninja World's internal wars, but could he really ignore an invasion by the Starry Sky Otsutsuki Clan?
Since the Sage of Six Paths had not appeared, his situation could only be the same as Ancestor Hamura's.
After learning this, Soji said nothing more.
Though he did not know what the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and his own ancestor, Otsutsuki Hamura, had gone off to do, one thing was certain: the situation in Boruto was more dangerous than in Shippuden!
Not to mention the Starry Sky Otsutsuki Clan members arriving one after another, the truly critical issue was that Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura, the Ninja World's last line of defense, had vanished!
Besides, in the face of an external enemy, even Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of Chakra and the Rabbit Goddess, could be considered one of their own.
But now, all of that
