Shamu cursed inwardly. He had never expected that Indra and Asura's reincarnations had been orchestrated by Hagoromo Otsutsuki himself.
No wonder Hagoromo Otsutsuki had never appeared despite Indra and Asura reincarnating so many times.
Yet whenever it was necessary to seal Kaguya, Hagoromo Otsutsuki showed up to hand out a power-up.
So their strength had not been enough, and he had made Indra and Asura keep reincarnating to level up.
It did seem that Indra and Asura grew stronger with every reincarnation.
Madara and Hashirama had only reached their peaks in their forties or fifties.
Naruto and Sasuke, on the other hand, had become powerful before even reaching twenty.
Shamu did not believe Indra and Asura had played no part in it.

It had tightly confined Sasuke and Naruto's lives along that single path.
To nurture Indra and Asura, various lives had been deliberately fashioned for the two of them.
Even Black Zetsu had been an object he used.
The Destiny Twins had fought monsters and leveled up all the way through, enduring trial after trial. Once they had become strong enough, he handed them a power-up to seal Kaguya.
"You actually laid out plans for a thousand years and calculated everything so precisely?"
Shamu grew wary. This ability to endure was even greater than Black Zetsu's.

"But for me, not nearly so much time has passed."
Shamu understood at once. No wonder Hagoromo Otsutsuki had rushed over the moment Naruto and Sasuke's life trajectories deviated.
Shamu had more or less gotten everything he
