The eye techniques within Hagoromo's Rinnegan were special.

This was a seal he had prepared in advance.

Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei.

The ordinary Chibaku Tensei was already an extremely powerful seal, but the one Hagoromo was preparing now was the ultimate, requiring him to expend all the Chakra within his body in one go to unleash.

With such a great cost, the effect was naturally astonishing. In theory, the power of this technique was enough to recreate a miniature star, sealing everything within it.

The reason Hagoromo had specifically researched this technique was precisely to seal his mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya.

As one who had consumed the Chakra Fruit, Otsutsuki Kaguya could be considered immortal to a certain extent.

This immortality might have its limits, but with the current strength of Hagoromo and Hamura, it was impossible for them to completely kill her.

Therefore, the only way to eliminate this hidden danger was to seal her.

Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei was the prison Hagoromo had prepared for Kaguya. As long as she was sealed, everything could end.

No matter how powerful Kaguya's strength was, she would not be able to break free from the restraints of this technique under the suppression of the Hagoromo Brothers.

And now, the opportunity had appeared...

"As long as I unleash this technique, everything will be over..." Hagoromo's mind flashed with this thought. A faint light flickered in his purple Rinnegan, the technique contained within about to be activated.

However, at this moment, an accident occurred.

In the sky ahead, beside Kaguya, Nanchuan You's figure suddenly appeared.

He stood beside Kaguya, gently extending his hand and pulling her into his embrace. He smiled as he looked at the two children before him.

"Father!"

Seeing this scene before them, Hagoromo and Hamura's expressions changed drastically in an instant.

A heavy hesitation appeared on Hagoromo's face. He remained in place for a moment, frozen.

At this moment, his mind was filled with complex emotions, and he thought of many, many things.

"Father, you even thought of this?"

Finally, he sighed deeply and did not make a move.

Making a move against Kaguya was different from making a move against Nanchuan You.

To the Hagoromo Brothers, although Kaguya was their mother, she had always been aloof. To save the world, they did not have much burden in taking action against her.

But Nanchuan You was different.

He was their father, who had always acknowledged the path they walked and was also the person they most admired and respected.

Making them act against their own father was absolutely impossible.

"Father, you would rather use this method than let us act against Mother?"

Beside him, Hamura had this thought. He also sighed deeply at this moment and gave up the intention to act.

The two of them withdrew from Sage Mode, returning to normal, and walked before Nanchuan You and Kaguya.

Beside him, Kaguya looked at the approaching Hagoromo Brothers. A sharp glint flashed in her Byakugan, and she still wanted to continue fighting.

Nanchuan You quickly grabbed her hand, shook his head at her, and stopped her from taking any further action.

"Things have reached this point, let's stop here."

He looked at Kaguya before him and said softly, "Have you forgotten our previous agreement?"

Nanchuan You's words reminded Kaguya.

Previously, she had made an agreement with Nanchuan You: as long as she was not Hagoromo and Hamura's opponent, she would obediently listen and not interfere arbitrarily.

And now, it was clearly time for the agreement to be honored.

No matter how proud she had been before, at this moment, she had to admit that she was indeed not the opponent of the Hagoromo Brothers.

In terms of strength, neither of them was weaker than her, only slightly inferior in the quality and quantity of Chakra.

However, their mastery of Natural Energy had perfectly compensated for this, allowing them to exert a power comparable to Kaguya's, reaching this level.

She glanced at Hagoromo and Hamura before her, then at Nanchuan You beside her, who was smiling and looking at her. Finally, she gave up and did nothing further.

Nanchuan You breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that she could recognize reality, at least she knew when to back down.

He was afraid of those who were not as strong as others but insisted on fighting to the end.

In that case, even Nanchuan You could do nothing.

After all, he couldn't watch Kaguya drain this world dry.

In his eyes, the value of this world was, in any case, greater than a Chakra Fruit.

As long as the world still existed, Natural Energy would always be born continuously, capable of nurturing many Chakra Fruits. There was no need to rush.

Of course, the reason Kaguya was so anxious was not only to deal with future enemies from the Otsutsuki clan but also mainly for Nanchuan You.

As the power of Karma continued to merge with him, his physical condition worsened, and if this continued, something bad would eventually happen.

Kaguya had precisely seen this, which was why she had started to grow anxious.

But Nanchuan You knew clearly that her anxiety was meaningless.

His reincarnation time was up this time; even if the Chakra Fruit had matured right now, it wouldn't be able to keep him here.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it was obvious that the Chakra Fruit would still need a long time to mature.

It was precisely because of this that he had specially arranged this meeting to prematurely detonate the conflict between Hagoromo and Hamura and Kaguya.

With him here, there would at least be some room for maneuver.

"Stop now."

He beckoned to Hagoromo and Hamura, his demeanor gentle, just as it always was.

Hagoromo and Hamura hesitated for a moment before finally choosing to move forward, following Nanchuan You away from this place.

They returned to the palace, where they were met by Indra and Asura.

"Father!"

Asura rushed forward first, his expression looking quite excited. "Were you just fighting Grandma? That was amazing!"

His face was full of excitement and admiration; he simply thought Kaguya and the Hagoromo Brothers were sparring and was envious of their strength.

Indra, on the other hand, was much more perceptive and had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

But he didn't say much, just stood silently to the side, his expression somewhat tense as he stared at them.

"Yes."

Nanchuan You smiled and walked forward, patting Indra and Asura's heads, speaking softly. "Your father and uncle just fought your grandmother, and the commotion seemed a bit much."

"But it's alright, no one was hurt, you can rest assured."

He sent the two children away, then led Hagoromo and the others deeper into the palace.

"I'm leaving."

Nanchuan You looked at Hagoromo and the others before him and suddenly said.

Hearing this, Hagoromo and the others present were instantly stunned, realizing the meaning behind Nanchuan You's words.

"Father, where are you going?"

Hamura spoke first, his expression somewhat anxious. "Did we do something wrong?"

"Father, don't abandon us."

Hagoromo also spoke, his expression tense. "The Land of Ancestors cannot lose your leadership."

Kaguya, standing beside them, didn't speak but also turned her gaze toward them, her eyes filled with tension.

"The Land of Ancestors has matured now; whether this country has me or not makes little difference to most people," Nanchuan You said with a smile. "Besides, you have all grown up now."

"For new trees to grow strong, they always need enough space. If I were always blocking the way, it would be too unfair to all of you who have been working so hard."

"Your abilities are now sufficient for me to rest assured."

He looked at Hagoromo and Hamura before him, his eyes filled with deep expectation.

"Father..."

Meeting Nanchuan You's gaze, Hagoromo and Hamura were both touched and didn't know what to say.

"Kaguya, it's the same for you."

Nanchuan You turned around and looked at his wife of many years, his smile unchanged. "These past years with you have been very happy, and I am also very fortunate to have met you in this life."

"So, while I'm away, I hope you can live well and also get along well with the children."

He held Kaguya's hand and whispered softly, "They are your children, after all. Perhaps they will be unsatisfactory in some ways at times, but those are all inevitable processes that come with growth."

"Don't be sad because of this; just wait for my return."

"You..."

Meeting Nanchuan You's gaze, Kaguya opened her mouth, seeming to want to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
