Awakening

"Absurd. Truly absurd."

Perhaps Hagoromo would only speak of returning to the past when facing Kaguya. In the entire Ninja World, only his mother could stand on the same level as him and speak with him as an equal.

Yet Kaguya did not agree with him in the slightest. The moment she opened her mouth, she called it absurd and told Hagoromo to stop dreaming.

Anyone could tell with their toes that such a thing was impossible. Who knew how Hagoromo Otsutsuki had come up with such a brilliant yet ridiculous idea?

"As long as there is even the slightest chance, I will not give up. So, for the sake of my goal, offer up your strength."

Hamura: ???

What was going on? Why did he suddenly feel as though he no longer recognized his brother? Was this still his gentle and refined brother, the one who remained steadfast in his convictions even when faced with matters of great right and wrong?

"But rest assured. I only need your strength. It will not affect our family reunion in the future."

The meaning was clear. He would not take their lives, only strip them of their strength and leave them to live as ordinary people.

After listening for so long, Uchiha Qingfeng finally sorted out the sequence. In the Sage of Six Paths' plan, he would first take control of the Pure Land and the King of Hell, then reclaim the Ninja World's power, become its true ruler, and finally use the King of Hell's power over reincarnation to return to the past?

But something was off. This was not what the book had written. After all, the book said that "Kaguya" had been sealed again, and she had not lost her power either.

So what exactly had happened in between?
