Hagoromo Otsutsuki, high in the sky, fell into thought as he watched the World Government's Army officers fight side by side with the strongest warriors from the Shinobi World's villages against the demon invasion below.
He recalled what his younger brother had said before heading to the Sea Star Underworld:
"The emergence of the World Government may not be a bad thing, whether for the Shinobi World or for us."
Previously, Hagoromo Otsutsuki had only half believed it.
He had felt that the World Government had disrupted his plans and thrown his Shinobi World into chaos.
But now, it seemed the World Government might become an ally?
What could he gain from the World Government, and what would he have to give in return?
With that question in mind, Hagoromo Otsutsuki flew before the Funerary Temple.
His deep violet Rinnegan swept over the towering, majestic Pyramid, its entire body the color of yellow sand.
To him, its exterior was not what mattered. What mattered was the flow of energy within.
As mentioned before, creations born from the awakening of Logia users essentially formed an internally circulating natural-energy system. As long as they were not damaged from outside, they could continue existing indefinitely.
For example, Sakazuki's active volcano would keep erupting, while Kuzan's iceberg would continuously release cold air.
Yet both magma and cold air had fixed ranges.
They would not spread outward without end, much less cause magma, ice, and snow to pile up endlessly.
This process did consume energy.
But they could constantly absorb natural energy from the outside world to replenish that consumption.
That was why they could be said to have "permanently altered the natural environment."
The same was true of Crocodile's Funerary Temple Pyramid, as well as the quicksand within it, which rotated slowly at every
