The answer was no surprise.

Naruto felt no stir of emotion.

Whether Kaguya Otsutsuki really couldn't be killed, or whether her "sons," Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki, simply couldn't bring themselves to kill their own mother, Naruto didn't want to speculate. What mattered was the conclusion that Kaguya Otsutsuki hadn't been killed. The reason he'd asked was to indirectly test what Hamura and his older brother, the Sage of Six Paths, thought of their mother. No matter what, they were mother and sons. Even after being sealed away for thousands of years, a mother was still a mother to her children. Naruto didn't believe Kaguya hadn't loved her sons at all, nor did he believe Hagoromo and Hamura hadn't loved their mother at all. From their understanding of the world to their attitudes toward their "mother," Naruto wanted to get some essential information from Hamura.

Unfortunately,

Naruto hadn't gotten what he wanted.

He didn't know whether Hamura simply held these views,

or whether he'd seen through Naruto's intentions and had deliberately chosen his words.

The only thing Naruto could be sure of was this:

"My freedom probably won't be restricted too much!"

Whether it was because Hagoromo and Hamura truly cared only about keeping the world at peace, and didn't care about anything else as long as their mother didn't escape her seal,

or because they simply no longer had enough power to interfere with the present world,

or perhaps both,

Naruto could be a little bolder with his plans going forward. He didn't need to stay so tense and wary; he could focus his attention on Obito and Nagato.

Of course, he still needed to stay alert and make preparations.

Naruto wouldn't let his guard down.

It was just that, relatively speaking, he'd have to make some major adjustments
