On the Verge of Eruption

"Father..."

Hearing Nanchuan You's plan, the Hagoromo Brothers were greatly alarmed.

"This is too precious."

Hagoromo was about to step forward to persuade Nanchuan You to withdraw the order, but saw Nanchuan You shake his head before him: "They are just two desolate islands; they are nothing to the country. It's perfect to give them to them."

"Of course, the same goes for you two."

He smiled, then looked at the two before him, Hagoromo and Hamura: "You have been training outside for many years, and it's about time."

"I am giving you the territories of the former Land of Them and the Land of Birds to rule."

"From now on, you will be the kings of those lands."

He looked at the two children before him and said softly.

Compared to the islands granted to his two grandsons, the fiefdoms he bestowed upon Hagoromo and Hamura were prosperous lands. Not only were they vast in area, but they also housed many people, making them absolutely excellent places.

"Father..."

Hearing Nanchuan You's words, the Hagoromo Brothers' hearts were filled with complex emotions.

They were naturally overjoyed to be entrusted with such important responsibilities by Nanchuan You.

However, alongside their joy, they also felt uneasy.

Nanchuan You's approach this time was somewhat unusual.

It didn't feel like a typical bestowal; it felt more like entrusting them with his legacy.

It gave the impression that Nanchuan You might leave at any moment, as if he were preparing for his final arrangements.

Nanchuan You's next words only deepened their impression.

"Not just you, if Hamura has children later, I have already prepared their fiefdoms as well."

Nanchuan You looked at Hamura before him, his eyes filled with encouragement: "The documents granting the fiefdoms have also been prepared. When the time comes, you can simply go and claim them."

"Father..."

Hamura frowned: "You..."

Hesitation showed on his face, as if he wanted to ask Nanchuan You something, but in the end, he did not speak.

The atmosphere in the room became silent and somewhat oppressive.

Only after a while, when Nanchuan You had someone lead the Hagoromo Brothers away, did the atmosphere in the original spot return to normal.

"Mother."

Hagoromo took a deep breath and looked at Kaguya before him: "We came this time not only to visit you and Father, but also to issue a warning."

"Things cannot continue to develop this way."

He said earnestly, "The Divine Tree has been continuously absorbing Natural Energy, and it has now reached its limit. If this continues, there will inevitably be major problems."

"If things go on like this, before your enemies even arrive, the world might be destroyed by our own hands."

"Please stop."

Beside him, Hamura stood silently, his gaze fixed on Kaguya, clearly conveying the same sentiment.

The atmosphere in the room immediately froze.

All eyes in the room fell on Kaguya, awaiting her response.

Under their gazes, Kaguya finally spoke.

"Are you all forcing me?"

Kaguya said indifferently, her Byakugan showing no emotional fluctuation: "For a group of ants that are irrelevant to you..."

"It's not coercion, it's persuasion."

Hagoromo's expression was solemn: "The people living in this world are all living beings, not the ants you speak of, Mother."

"They have their own families, their own peaceful lives."

"We have no right to decide their future destiny."

"And what if I insist on doing so?"

Kaguya's expression was indifferent: "What will you do then?"

"If that's the case..."

Hagoromo took a deep breath: "Then we will have no choice but to stop you."

"With these Rinnegan!"

As his voice fell, his aura drastically changed. His previously peaceful presence suddenly became terrifying.

Although still not as powerful as Kaguya, he was by no means an ordinary person.

What drew everyone's attention were his eyes. At some point, they had transformed into a pair of purple Rinnegan.

Those Rinnegan were pure, carrying an aura that shared the same origin as Otsutsuki Kaguya, appearing terrifying and powerful.

"And me."

From the side, Hagoromo's voice also came.

He took a step forward, his aura changing as well.

A faint golden light bloomed around him, and in an instant, his state was completely different from before.

Most peculiar were his Byakugan, which had turned a deep blue at some point, looking as if a vast sky was contained within them, inspiring endless imagination.

This was the Tenseigan. In terms of rank, it was in no way inferior to Hagoromo's Rinnegan, and the power it contained was equally terrifying and boundless.

"Rinnegan, Tenseigan..."

Otsutsuki Kaguya looked at the two children before her, her face showing a look of astonishment for the first time: "Hagoromo, Hamura... you actually..."

Neither the Rinnegan nor the Tenseigan were ordinary things.

Although the former was the standard for strong members of the Otsutsuki Clan, awakening it was not easy.

Not to mention that Hagoromo's Rinnegan was also very unusual; the ocular power contained within far surpassed that of ordinary Otsutsuki, approaching Kaguya, the Progenitor of Chakra.

Hamura's Tenseigan was equally unique and extremely rare within the entire Otsutsuki Clan. It could only be awakened by awakening the Otsutsuki bloodline to a certain extent.

Unlike the immature youths of the past, the Hagoromo brothers were now fully mature, and their combined combat power was not considered weak even within the Otsutsuki Clan.

If Kaguya had not consumed the Chakra Fruit, her original combat power would likely not have been enough to even stand before Hagoromo and Hamura.

This far exceeded her expectations.

She stood frozen, gazing at the two children before her, speechless for a long time.

After a while, she spoke again: "Turn back now and obey me obediently, and I can pretend none of this ever happened."

She thought of the Otsutsuki Clan that would soon arrive in the future.

If it were just her alone, dealing with the potential future invasion of the Otsutsuki Clan might be somewhat strenuous.

But if she could add the grown Hagoromo brothers before her, the outcome would be entirely different.

If they waited until the second Chakra Fruit ripened, and until Nanchuan You consumed it and awakened the power of the Otsutsuki, their side would possess a total of four powerhouses who could be considered elites even within the Otsutsuki Clan.

If they were to add Indra and Asura, who, despite their young age, also possessed great potential...

With such strength, they would be considered powerful even within the entire Otsutsuki Clan, enough to form their own faction.

Thinking of this, Kaguya's tone softened slightly, and she became more patient with the two children before her.

"Give up."

Hagoromo stared intently at Kaguya, his purple Rinnegan filled with determination: "As long as you don't abandon your ideas, we can't stop."

"This world must not be destroyed by our hands."

"Let's do it!"

The next moment, he extended his hand and pressed it forward.

Several Truth-Seeking Orbs condensed and were directly hurled forward.
