The group arrived on the moon and were greeted by a field of fertile land where several people were cultivating the land. They were clearly taken aback by the group's arrival, and their expressions turned even more astonished when they saw Ban's attire.
Perhaps the teleportation array served as a warning, for a large group of people immediately rushed over from a distance and surrounded the three of them.
"Earthlings, you shouldn't be here. This is the residence of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Please leave." The leader inside resolutely refused to have any contact with the others.
Madara Uchiha stepped forward. " Shinra Tensei!"
A powerful repulsive force emanated from Madara, pressing everyone in front of him to the ground.
"The moon is also part of the Ninja World, and there's nowhere in the Ninja World we can't go. This is a lesson for you all: next time, think before you speak."
The Otsutsuki clansman lying on the ground was still somewhat indignant. "You, damn it, even if you are descendants of the Hagoromo ancestor, you can't run wild here."
The moon was built by our ancestors to seal the Rabbit Goddess, and they have always protected it. Your rudeness is an insult to our ancestors!
The group had discussed this beforehand and concluded that a mere thousand years was insufficient to kill Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Hamura. Based on various legends and intelligence, the group now analyzed that Otsutsuki Hagoromo likely resided in the Underworld, while Otsutsuki Hamura lived on the moon guarding the seal.
Therefore, everyone was prepared to clash with Otsutsuki Hamura beforehand. After all, they planned to take down Otsutsuki Kaguya sooner or later, and in doing so, the two Otsutsuki brothers would become ambiguous as to whether they were friend or foe. So, they decided to skip playing the emotional card and just use force.
So the group never intended to be polite, and these Otsutsuki clansmen just happened to walk right into their trap.
They subdued all the Otsutsuki clan members present, and then they all headed towards the main hall. According to them, their ancestor had always lived in the main hall, but they had never gone in, nor had their ancestor ever come out.
However, before they could even reach the main hall, the group turned around and arrived at another place, where there stood a huge statue— the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Ever since Madara obtained the Rinnegan, he Instinct an attraction on the moon. He initially thought it was Otsutsuki Kaguya, but after arriving on the moon, this attraction became clear immediately. It wasn't in the moon itself, but somewhere on the moon.
Now, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an indescribably ugly statue, which left Madara somewhat bewildered. He then looked at the Otsutsuki clan member beside him, signaling for an explanation.
"Legend has it that this was brought back and placed here by our ancestors after they sealed away the Rabbit Goddess. It is said to be a demonic statue carved from the God Tree of that time, containing power sufficient to destroy the world."
Spot nodded, finding the explanation somewhat acceptable, and then tried to establish a connection with the statue through that attraction.
Suddenly, Madara realized that the statue gave him a feeling somewhat similar to the Nine-Tails he had a contract with. Although they didn't look like the same thing at all, that feeling was definitely there. So Madara decided to ask the Nine-Tails about it when he returned to Earth.
After establishing contact with the statue, Ban temporarily set it aside, as they still had other matters to attend to, and the group continued towards the main hall.
When the group entered the main hall, they did not see anyone. Although it seemed that someone had been there before, there was indeed no one there now.
"It seems your ancestors didn't want to meet us..." Madara wanted to say something more to the Otsutsuki clan members, but Senju Hashirama noticed a scroll on a desk. Unfolding it, he saw the words: "I only want to stay here and wait for my mother. If you have any problems, go to my brother."
Seeing this, everyone knew that this trip could only achieve half of its purpose. After all, if Otsutsuki Hamura really wanted to hide, there was nothing they could do. After all, this was the moon, and they dared not make any big moves, for fear of releasing Kaguya from her seal prematurely.
So Madara and Hashirama led all the Ōtsutsuki Clan off the moon, and before leaving, they made sure the Otsutsuki clan members carried away the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Upon returning to Earth, they first handed over the Ōtsutsuki Clan members to their subordinates and had them settled in. Afterward, they discussed matters concerning their journey to the Underworld.
Bai Sui had actually planned her trip to the Underworld long ago. " Hashirama, I remember you have a Summoning Technique, the Rashomon Technique, right?"
"That's right, this is a Summoning Technique passed down through generations of our Senju Clan. It's said to be able to summon the phantom of Rashomon ... You mean...?" Clearly, Hashirama had also understood what Bai Sui meant.
"That's right. Let's try using the Reverse Summoning Technique to summon us to the location of Rashomon. I asked the Death God before, and he said that Rashomon is the gateway to the Underworld. If we can reach Rashomon, we can enter the Underworld." Bai Sui indicated that Hashirama was right.
"But I have a question. Isn't it said that only the souls of the dead can go to the Underworld? What if we can't get through, or what if we go there and can't come back?" Hashirama was still somewhat hesitant.
Even Madara Uchiha agreed with this, after all, it's not the moon, and who knows if they can come out again after going to the Underworld. He wasn't afraid of everyone, but he was afraid that they wouldn't even have a chance then.
Bai Sui waved his hand, indicating that it was fine. He said that if it really came down to it, he would go by himself. After all, if it were a pure battle of souls, Bai Sui was not afraid. In addition, with his Inner Landscape's ability to return to the city, he was already in an invincible position.
However, before everyone could even set off to find Otsutsuki Hagoromo, he came to their door himself.
That makes sense. The Sage of Six Paths would often tour the Ninja World, leaving behind many legends. Given the great changes in the Ninja World Ninja World, if the other side were to pay attention to it, they would definitely want to come and see.
Suddenly, everyone sensed a mental fluctuation. Senju Hashirama immediately lost consciousness, while Bai Sui and Madara Uchiha exchanged a glance before entering.
However, Bai Sui only separated a wisp of divine consciousness. If the other party really turned against him, he would only lose this wisp of divine consciousness. Moreover, if the other party dared to underestimate this wisp of divine consciousness, he would suffer a great loss.
As soon as Bai Sui's consciousness entered this mental fluctuation, he immediately entered a virtual space where everyone's true appearance was revealed.
Although it was only a wisp of divine consciousness, the moment it entered this place, it burst forth with boundless brilliance. This light, though clearly light, caused the space to shake violently, teetering on the verge of collapse.
