Kaguya Otsutsuki wanted to fly away, hoping to use the speed of flight to shake off Shazo's claws.

But Shazo actually took to the air, and his flight speed far surpassed Kaguya's. His left hand was still gripping Kaguya's left ankle, using the power of his Tenseigan to suppress Kaguya's body.

After the incident where she was upside down and blindfolded, Kaguya Otsutsuki began to notice some things that she had previously taken for granted.

For example, the way the two are flying right now looks rather ambiguous no matter how you look at it, making Kaguya Otsutsuki both anxious and angry, her face turning bright red.

Shazo also noticed Kaguya Otsutsuki's unusual behavior, but he was able to take advantage of it without any hesitation, further disturbing Kaguya Otsutsuki's Mind Stone.

Only this method can deal with the Rabbit Goddess, who possesses Three Great Dōjutsu and is said to be immune to Genjutsu.

In addition, Kaguya Otsutsuki's appearance has changed drastically. Her cheeks are flushed, her eyes are lively, her expression is one of shame and anger, and her full head of silver-white hair looks particularly messy because it has been dragged on the ground, making her look pitiful.

When she broke free from the seal, her awe-inspiring and inviolable Goddess image had vanished.

This slightly disheveled yet lively and agile Kaguya Otsutsuki actually made Shazo think—quite beautiful.

Yes, it's really good-looking, and I can't help but want to tease it a little.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's mind was indeed in turmoil, but her aura still burned like a raging fire, and the surging energy surrounding her body was like a storm at sea.

Kaguya could destroy the seal binding her simply by using Mr. Popo of Chakra and eye power.

However, Shazo was also quick to apply the seals; for Kaguya destroyed, he would replace it.

Moreover, Shazo was generally faster, which is why he said, "We've caught Kaguya."

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kaguya Otsutsuki's defeat was only a matter of time.

However, with the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, present, how could things not change?

Amenominaka, beneath the trunk of the God Tree.

The two pouches were torn open from the inside, Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke jumped out.

At this moment, the appearances of the two young Kage-level Ninja underwent a significant change.

Sasuke's eye turned into a pale purple Rinnegan, while Naruto Uzumaki transformed directly into Sage of Six Paths Mode, similar to Six Paths Madara's Six Paths form.

They had both advanced to the Sage of Six Paths Level, their strength increasing dozens of times, but their eyes seemed somewhat dull.

There's no way around it; the amount of information suddenly bombarded is too much, so it's quite reasonable to experience indigestion.

--

After being hit by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the Sage of Sage of Six Paths appeared and pulled Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke out of their Dream Dimension, preventing them from finishing their beautiful dreams.

Uzumaki Menma had just been surrounded by Sakura Haruno on one side and Hinata Hyuga on the other, and was envied by all the female classmates and all the male classmates.

The genius Sasuke had just become a squad leader in the Anbu, and his older brother Uchiha Itachi had become his subordinate. He had finally caught Sasuke making a mistake and was preparing to give him a good scolding.

I was woken up by an old man with Whitebeard, which made me quite annoyed.

Even if it's just a little later, that would be fine.

The sage understood the two Ninja ' resentment, but told them, "Time is of the essence now; there's no time for them to continue their daydreams."

The Sage of Six Paths used some techniques to finish recounting the history of the Ninja World in a very short time.

The story begins with the arrival of Kaguya Otsutsuki and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and continues until Kaguya Otsutsuki gives birth to two children. The historical drama gradually transforms into a family drama.

You know what, Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke asleep during the first half. These major events were indeed shocking, but only because it was the first time they had heard them.

They had heard the Fifth Hokage tell this story more than once, so hearing it again now didn't excite them at all.

But the second half is different; it's the account of someone who experienced it firsthand, and countless details will be unintentionally revealed.

Gossip is something that gets more and more interesting the more you listen to it!

The Sage of Six Paths concluded: Naruto, Sasuke, listen up!

Now that Kaguya Otsutsuki, has been resurrected, and I am already dead, the great task of saving the Ninja World can only be entrusted to the two of you.

Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke were completely bewildered when they heard this, and without fully understanding what was happening, they accepted the Sage of Six Paths ' gift and instantly advanced to the Sage of Six Paths Level.

They also brought a powerful weapon specifically designed to counter Kaguya Otsutsuki. By simply working together and placing their hands on Kaguya, they could seal her a second time.

Having made all the preparations, the Sage of Six Paths kicked two Ninja, who could be considered his sons, out of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, forcing them to carry out his final plan.

However, what he didn't see was that Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke's first action after landing was to look around and confirm that Kaguya Otsutsuki wasn't there.

The second action was to place his hands behind his ears and tear off a "mask," which was the "mask" that the Fifth Hokage Shazo, Naruto Uzumaki, had developed for Naruto Uzumaki to isolate him from the influence of Asura Chakra.

After Uchiha Sasuke removed his "mask," he immediately gasped.

"Naruto, I'm only just realizing how terrifying the Sage of Six Paths is; he's not approachable at all."

Naruto Uzumaki let out a long sigh of relief, "As expected, the teacher guessed right."

Looking at the towering, dark God Tree surrounding him, he sighed, "How could such a terrifying catastrophe, a conspiracy brewing for a thousand years, not have been discovered by the Sage of Six Paths?"

Sasuke asked, "What do we do? Should we break ties with the Sage of Six Paths?"

Naruto shook his head and said, "No need. My teacher said that we should obey the Sage of Six Paths when we encounter him. We should do whatever he tells us to do, and he should handle whatever happens."

Sasuke gasped again. "Good heavens, does that mean if we don't go along with him, we're doomed?"

Naruto Uzumaki nodded. "That's right. The Sage of Six Paths could make us leap out of the Kage-level Ninja realm with a mere gesture. What incredible power that is!"

"If he can pull off such the Miracle, I don't believe he can't directly unleash his power in the Ninja World."

Sasuke looked at the moon pattern on his palm, feeling the terrifying Chakra within, and sighed, "I don't believe it either."

Naruto regenerated a "mask" in his palm, and while pressing it against his face, he said to Sasuke, "I've had enough air now, let's begin the Sage of Six Paths ' mission."

Sasuke agreed and put on his own "mask".

Then the two flew into the air and began searching for Kaguya Otsutsuki and Black Zetsu.

Two hours later, they returned to the trunk of the God Tree, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Where is Kaguya Otsutsuki?

With no other option, Naruto and Sasuke had to ask for help from their godfather, the Sage of Six Paths.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was also quite confused; his mother had disappeared?

This is a big problem!

This is the first time in over a thousand years that his mother has escaped his sight, which means that the plan has encountered changes and is showing signs of getting out of control and collapsing.

The Sage of Six Paths could no longer sit securely in his Pure Land, watching the world unfold from across the barrier of life and death.

Through his son residing within Naruto and Sasuke, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's will descended upon the Ninja World. His immense consciousness swept across the entire Ninja World, discovering the existence of the Amenominaka.

By rewinding time, the Sage of Six Paths finally learned what had happened.

He exclaimed incredulously, "The Fifth Hokage Shazo, is such a powerful Ninja?"

Naruto and Sasuke asked in unison, "Sage of Six Paths, what exactly happened? What did the Fifth Hokage do?"

The Sage of Six Paths remarked, "Your Fifth Hokage actually withstood the Infinite Tsukuyomi with his own power, and wasn't captured by the Divine Deep Forest Emergence."

"He was the first to stand up and confront my mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, and was dragged into the Amenominaka dimension by her."

"That was Mother's home turf. The Fifth Hokage actually held out for three hours without being defeated. It's an unbelievable the Miracle."

Naruto Uzumaki panicked. "Isn't Master in great danger? I must go help Master! I have Yang Release Chakra!"

Uchiha Sasuke chimed in, "I also have Yin Release Chakra, I'll go too!"

Sasuke hesitated, "But—"

Naruto, as if on the same wavelength, continued, "----How do we enter the Amenominaka dimension?"

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked at the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

The immortal nodded. "I have a way to get you in."

"But you need to think this through. Once you're inside, even if I go, I might not be able to get you out."

Naruto Uzumaki stated firmly, "No battle is without risk. Fighting an enemy like Kaguya Otsutsuki is absolutely dangerous enough to be fatal."

"Sage of Six Paths, I am prepared to die in battle!"

Uchiha Sasuke, "I am also prepared to die in battle!"

The Sage of Sage of Six Paths exclaimed, "Well said!"

"Mother's Amenominaka has strong spatial defenses, but I know a way to use the power of the past Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages to send you two into Amenominaka."

"After that, I really can't get involved; it's all up to the two of you."

Under the influence of the "mask," the two men, their blood boiling, shouted in unison, "Alright, as long as you can get us in, leave the rest to us!"

"Even if it means death, we will defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki!"

Half an hour later, the tangled roots beneath the God Tree trunk were completely cleared away.

On the land leveled by Ninjutsu, a huge summoning Sealing Array was laid out, with the Kage of each generation, existing in the form of spirits, each occupying Ikkaku.

At the center of the Sealing Array were Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke, both fully armed, while the one in charge of everything was the soul of Hagoromo Otsutsuki Sage of Six Paths.

At this moment, if it weren't for the "mask," which completely concealed the feelings between Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke, they would definitely have looked at the Sage of Six Paths with disdain.

The Sage of Six Paths is such a show-off.

He just said he was dead and could no longer interfere in the Ninja World.

In the blink of an eye, he summoned all Five Kage of past generations, cleared the ground, and drew a massive Sealing Array.

They claimed that the Amenominaka space was impenetrable and that no one could enter it without Kaguya's permission.

Now they've directly produced Sealing Array capable of sending people inside, completely disregarding their previous words.

Naruto Uzumaki was an expert in Sealing Technique. With just one glance, he could tell that the design of this Sealing Array was complete, and the level of technical sophistication was astounding.

It was definitely not designed on the spot.

This was something he had prepared for years in advance, anticipating a major fight with his mother.

The Sage of Six Paths also said that Kaguya Otsutsuki could only be sealed away, not killed.

The two people hiding behind the "mask" no longer believed it.

It's not just because the Sage of Six Paths contradicted himself many times, but also because the Fifth Hokage Shazo, said, "Humans die when they are killed, but a god can also be killed if he shows his health bar."

There are no absolute concepts in the world, and nothing is Eternity.

Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki is indeed immortal, it only exists within a relatively limited scope.

If she were to break through the current limits, or encounter a power that surpasses the limits of her Kekkei Mōra limit and Self-Healing, Kaguya Otsutsuki would still die.

Of course, Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke could not kill Kaguya Otsutsuki, because her power was bestowed by the Sage of Six Paths, and their strength was entirely under the Sage's control, so they naturally did not have that ability.

Actually, everyone should be able to understand why the Sage of Six Paths protected Kaguya Otsutsuki.

No matter how you put it, Kaguya Otsutsuki is Hagoromo Otsutsuki's mother.

My own biological child!

The Sage of Six Paths might be ruthless enough to lock her in a dark room, but he definitely couldn't bring himself to kill her outright.

Even though Kaguya Otsutsuki was an arrogant dictator, a tyrant who regarded human life as dirt, and a great demon who slaughtered humans in large numbers, the Sage of Six Paths could not bring himself to be ruthless.

Blood is thicker than water, after all.

On Blue Star, if parents get cancer and it progresses to the terminal stage, not only is there no chance of a cure, but they also have to suffer from constant pain.

But how many middle-aged people, knowing their parents are suffering, can truly bring themselves to send them off prematurely?

Despite Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke shouting "Defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki," the Sage of Six Paths not only wasn't angry, but actually applauded and cheered for them.

If the two of them keep saying "kill Kaguya Otsutsuki," the Sage of Six Paths might just use Kabuto to deal with those two treacherous and disloyal bastards.

But what if Shazo revealed his true strength and said, "I will kill Kaguya Otsutsuki!"

The Sage of Six Paths would definitely wipe his face, point at Shazo and say that he is the real world-destroying demon, and then lead the Five Kage of all generations to launch a Justice gang-up.

With everything prepared, the Sage of Six Paths placed his hands on Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke, saying one last time, "I entrust everything to you!"

With that, he pushed forward with both hands, sending the two Sage of Six Paths Level Ninja into the void and into the Amenominaka's Primordial Space.

At the same time, he also sent in two surveillance markers.

Through the Chakra connection between Asura and Indra, while Naruto and Sasuke were still dazed from the space-time travel, the Sage of Six Paths saw the scene first.

Hagoromo, "Shazo!! What have you done to my mother!?"
