The Right Way to Summon Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo

On nights like these, the Konoha Military Police Force needs to mobilize sufficient manpower to ensure the safety of the village.

In the residences of individual ninja clans, the lights are often kept on all night before any major event occurs.

This is the situation Hyuga Clan now.

Unlike most of the clan members who were already asleep, Hyuga Hiashi and the elders of the Main Family said they couldn't sleep at all.

Uchiha Shingen has finished telling the story.

Kaguya Otsutsuki thought that what she said was quite good, and she didn't even have a chance to point out any omissions or omissions—it was too well-written.

This is probably the tacit understanding between allies.

Uchiha Shingen was born to be her ally!

After finishing his story, Uchiha Shingen began to drink tea, though it had gone cold, he didn't mind.

Before him, the leaders of the Hyuga Clan were still struggling to digest this story that spanned an extremely long period and contained an overwhelming amount of information.

"This really is..." Hyuga Hiashi couldn't help but rub his eyes; he had been listening so intently that his eyes were sore from keeping them open.

This is absolutely outrageous!

My ancestors weren't even from this world?!

And actually, when you come to the conclusion, I'm actually related to the Uchiha Clan?

Of course, this is all on the premise that all of this is true.

Now, only one question remains for him and the other elders.

Should they believe it?

"I know all of this is hard to believe," Uchiha Shingen said understandingly. "But reality is sometimes just that absurd. We've been ninjas for so many years, and we've encountered quite a few things like this."

"Shingen- kun, I really need to think about this." Hyuga Hiashi was simply having a headache.

This story is truly absurd.

But Kaguya Otsutsuki, who is now sitting in front of him, is equally absurd.

But if the story is true, then the power that Kaguya Otsutsuki displayed in front of him and Hizashi is only to be expected.

The elders of the Hyuga Clan's Main Family were also experiencing some indigestion, and at this moment, they all subconsciously looked at Hyuga Hiashi.

The Hyuga Clan and Uchiha Clan have different criteria for selecting their clan leaders.

The strict requirement for becoming the head of the Uchiha Clan is having the raw power to beat everyone to a pulp.

The reason why Uchiha Fugaku was chosen as the clan leader back then was not because he was rich, but because he was the strongest member of the Uchiha Clan at that time.

However, the selection of the Hyuga Clan leader is not significantly related to this.

The title of strongest member is practically impossible to choose within the Hyuga Clan —they're all roughly equal.

Even the power of the clan leader is roughly the same as that of the elders.

Therefore, the ability to respond well to emergencies is the key requirement for the Hyuga Clan.

Hyuga Hiashi is indeed considered one of the more quick-witted members of the Hyuga Clan.

Now, the elders of the Main Family are also placing their hopes on him.

There's nothing we can do; everyone's like this. We can't figure it out at all, and we don't know how to think about it.

Uchiha Shingen wasn't in a hurry at all; he leisurely sipped his tea to moisten his throat.

Now that things have been discussed to this extent, all he needs to do is provide answers.

Suddenly, someone nudged him.

It's Kaguya Otsutsuki.

What are you doing?

"How did you know what I was thinking back then?" Kaguya Otsutsuki curiously.

Her mental strength was naturally exceptionally strong; even before she consumed the Devil Fruit, she was weaker than the other Ōtsutsuki Clan. She knew perfectly well what Uchiha Shingen had seen in her mind.

However, the story told by Uchiha Shingen was similar to her true thoughts at the time, which Uchiha Shingen did not see in her memories.

"Put yourself in their shoes," Uchiha Shingen said after thinking for a moment. "After all, if I were in their shoes, I would have launched a sneak attack too."

When a team comes out to do business, and then tries to take all the credit when it comes to signing the contract, it's no wonder they get into serious trouble.

"Then how can you be sure it wasn't me who voluntarily wanted to take back Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki's Chakra?"

"Those two have innate Chakra. If you wanted to collect it, why didn't you collect it earlier? You didn't just suddenly remember this, did you?"

Regardless of what kind of person Kaguya Otsutsuki was, Uchiha Shingen was certain that she was a very methodical person.

Something as important as Chakra retraction certainly wouldn't be done on the spot.

That goes against her public image.

Although this was stated in the specifications back when we were still on Blue Star, but...

The setting book also describes her as the head of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

But is she?

"Not bad, not bad. Although you won't admit it, you do value me very much." Kaguya Otsutsuki was truly satisfied. "I will reward you."

Uchiha Shingen: "... Instead of talking about rewards, can we at least have a normal conversation for now?"

"Shingen," Hyuga Hiashi suddenly spoke from the opposite side.

Uchiha Shingen immediately turned around.

"Hiashi- sama?"

"I've thought through everything you just said," Hyuga Hiashi sighed. "It's regrettable, but..."

Is this a refusal?

Well, it seems we still have to rely on the Uchiha Clan to save the world.

"But I choose to believe," Hyuga Hiashi added.

Uchiha Shingen: "... May I ask what you meant by 'regret' earlier?"

"Naturally, the origins of our Hyuga Clan and your Uchiha Clan actually come from another place." Hyuga Hiashi sighed, looking up at the sky. "This is truly a pity!"

So, where does the regret lie?

Hyuga Clan's ideas are always strange and unusual.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." Hyuga Hiashi's expression suddenly changed. "Speaking of 'the Progenitor of Chakra,' I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before."

"You mean this..." Uchiha Shingen nodded. "Yes, the person who used Hanabi's body back then was indeed Kaguya."

"Then... will it have any impact on Hanabi?" Having confirmed the answer, Hyuga Hiashi somewhat nervous.

"You'd have to ask Kaguya... Personally, I don't think it'll have much of an impact."

"That little girl's body, after being used by me, will become stronger." Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't actually remember whose body she had borrowed in the first place, but Hyuga Hiashi's question reminded her that among the people she had casually hung on the tree, there was indeed such a person. "However, I can no longer use her now, so let it be."

The Hyuga Clan's ears perked up.

Will it become stronger if used?

Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

After recalling the incident, everyone realized that Hyuga Hanabi's strength had indeed improved by leaps and bounds.

It's like turning on some kind of switch.

So that's where the root of the problem lies?

People began to consider whether to gather all the children in the clan and let Kaguya use each of them.

Since they are our ancestors, shouldn't we treat everyone equally?

Without their own awareness, the elders of the Main Family began to accept Kaguya as their "ancestor."

Of course, it's only because of Uchiha Shingen's reputation built up over the years that the Hyuga Clan would believe it; if it were someone else, they certainly wouldn't.

Hyuga Hiashi observed everyone's reactions and knew that the matter was settled.

So he looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki again.

He thought for a moment, then bowed to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Then he asked, "Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, is there anything we can do for you?"

"Find the whereabouts of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki for me," Kaguya Otsutsuki said. "I have searched for him before. He must be hiding in someone's body. He has the same immortality as me, so he must still be alive. His Chakra is similar to mine. You can use your Dōjutsu to observe him."

"Understood, we will keep that in mind." Hyuga Hiashi nodded.

"How strong is Ōtsutsuki Isshiki?" Uchiha Shingen suddenly asked.

"Strength...?" Kaguya Otsutsuki, then looked at Uchiha Shingen, "I think you're quite capable."

Uchiha Shingen: "..."

Luckily he asked that question.

"Hiashi, if you suspect someone, be sure to observe from a distance, and also within the village."

"Don't worry, Shingen-kun." Shingen Hyuga Hiashi indicated that this was exactly what he had thought from the beginning.

Hyuga Clan such a small population, it's impossible for the Hinata clan to search aimlessly all over the world.

They can only search within the area of operation of the Konoha Military Police Force.

"However, Shingen- kun, since the other party has been hiding for so long, it's best to determine what he wants now, otherwise we won't be able to find him," Hyuga Hiashi reminded him again.

"Yes, I understand." Uchiha Shingen, however, thought of someone else.

Kaguya Otsutsuki goes without saying; having eaten the fruit, it's understandable that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki would choose to play it safe.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed away for over a thousand years, and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki never came out.

If he's not already dead, then he must be related to another Ōtsutsuki Clan.

"Shingen, are you asking about Hagoromo?" Kaguya Otsutsuki asked.

She had thought about this question too.

The children know this part of her history.

She didn't hide it.

After all, in her original plan, her children were her best helpers.

"We can only ask him." Uchiha Shingen shrugged. "We haven't seen Ōtsutsuki Isshiki while you were away. After thinking about it, it can only be related to the Sage of Six Paths."

It's not that he looks down on Indra and Ashura.

Compared to their father, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, these two brothers are far inferior.

At his peak, Hagoromo Otsutsuki had obtained the power of the Ten-Tails. Even when he was old and frail, he did not die by actively withdrawing the Ten-Tails. His Chakra remained powerful despite the changing times, allowing him to monitor the world and use the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei, which was used to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Without a doubt, he's a genuine cheater.

Meanwhile, in the room, the Hyuga Clan, who were listening to the conversation between the two, slightly opened their mouths.

Were these two just talking about chatting with the Sage of Six Paths?

Chapter 40 The Correct Way to Summon Hagoromo Otsutsuki

Uchiha Shingen didn't talk much about the Sage of Six Paths and such with the Hyuga Clan.

Otherwise, it really would turn into an all-nighter.

With the words "Let's lie down for today and talk about it tomorrow," Uchiha Shingen's discussion with the Hyuga Clan came to a satisfactory conclusion.

The result was good; Hyuga Clan has a good ability to accept things and joined the group smoothly.

As a second-generation ninja who had already integrated well into the local community, Uchiha Shingen's principle was to protect his own territory first.

We'll see about the rest later.

It started with the Senju Clan, then the Uchiha Clan, and now it's the entire Leaf Village.

That Ōtsutsuki Isshiki must be a character from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. Since he hadn't seen it, if Kaguya Otsutsuki hadn't unlocked his memories, he really wouldn't have known that he was such a cunning old fox.
