Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's Awkward Moment / Seeing the Sage of Six Paths Again

It was a giant sword, the end of which was held in the hand of Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki.

Without any skill, he slashed down at the lava monster in front of him.

This is also Otsutsuki Toneri Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

The golden lightsaber sliced through the newly formed lava monster as easily as cutting tofu, and then naturally cut into the lunar surface, whose geological environment had been altered.

Everything that Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki had just performed was abruptly stopped.

The Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion possesses all the properties of the Truth-Seeking Orb.

The suspended particles, like sprinkled gold dust, spread across the vast expanse of space, covering the desolate lunar surface with a beautiful veil.

The lava monster was cleaved in two by a single sword strike. The Chakra reaction vanished from its body. It first lost its temperature, then its form, collapsing to either side like a toppled mountain.

In the distance, Kaguya Otsutsuki floated in the air, her eyes smiling as she looked at the ashen-faced Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, appearing graceful and elegant.

"Momoshiki, you always think you're in control of everything, but actually you're the weakest one among us."

After chuckling softly, Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly looked towards the empty space on her left.

"Hagoromo, you've raised this child quite well. What? Aren't you going to come out and see me?"

Chapter 129 The Hagoromo Otsutsuki

It's quite awkward for Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Although he believes that sealing his mother away was not a mistake, it doesn't stop him from feeling awkward when he sees her again.

A mother will always be a mother, and a son will always be a son.

Although having no father might seem less formal, the principle remains the same.

He knew he couldn't hide; all he could say was that without a physical body, the Chakra body truly couldn't hide, unless he returned to the Pure Land.

But in that case, he wouldn't be able to keep up with the developments of the situation in a timely manner.

After Uchiha Shingen released Kaguya Otsutsuki, he never appeared in front of him again. The mental space was not safe in front of Uchiha Shingen Kaguya Otsutsuki.

But the mother and son will eventually meet again.

When he heard Kaguya Otsutsuki calling his name while looking in his direction, Hagoromo Otsutsuki knew he couldn't hide any longer.

So he showed up quite readily.

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at her son, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

At first, she was heartbroken. Although she was indeed very cold-hearted towards everyone else at the time, she was not towards her two sons.

Taking back Chakra from his son was just an angry outburst; in reality, he would only imprison him.

Because she believed the child would eventually understand.

Even during the battle, they didn't give up on this idea; otherwise, how could they have fought for so long? Modern ninjas simply cannot imagine the duration of the battle between the mother and her two children; it would be utterly mind-blowing.

After being sealed away, sadness was replaced by anger, and for a period of time afterwards, hatred prevailed.

Until Hamura Otsutsuki died of old age on the moon.

At that time, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki knew that she had lost a son forever.

But this only deepened her hatred; she could no longer distinguish between resentment and sorrow.

After regaining her freedom, her resentful attitude changed a lot; otherwise, things wouldn't be like this now.

However, seeing Hagoromo Otsutsuki in his current state, Kaguya Otsutsuki still felt very conflicted.

She still couldn't understand why Hagoromo was going to such lengths to persist; what was she after?

"You don't even have your own body anymore."

"Yes, Mother, but I don't regret it."

The mother and son fell silent after a brief exchange.

This contrasts sharply with the intense fighting ahead.

They were playing a silent fantasy blockbuster over there.

The Otsutsuki Toneri, whose entire body was glowing green, was locked in a fierce battle with the Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki.

After a moment of silence, it was Hagoromo Otsutsuki who broke the silence.

"Mother, what are your plans after you come out this time?"

After asking the question, Hagoromo Otsutsuki felt much better.

As for whether Mother will rekindle her old grudges, he's dead anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

However Kaguya Otsutsuki's reaction was not what Hagoromo Otsutsuki had expected.

She simply turned around and looked at her child with a strange gaze, leaving Hagoromo Otsutsuki completely baffled.

After a long while, Kaguya Otsutsuki pointed to the party venue across the street and asked him:

"Do you think your followers can resist someone like that?"

That's obvious, no way.

Others might not know the level of his followers, but Hagoromo Otsutsuki knew it best.

Indra alone could beat them all down; otherwise, why wouldn't he even say "Follow me"?

However, Hagoromo Otsutsuki believes that this is not a concept.

"Mother, the people back then were still very young," Hagoromo Otsutsuki said. "They hadn't been learning Chakra for very long."

"So you mean it's okay now?"

"This..."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki really wanted to say yes, but he was too embarrassed to boast in front of his mother.

While Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki and Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki did get a beating from below, and Urashiki Ōtsutsuki was sealed away, strictly speaking, this had little to do with the general public.

Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Madara, one obtained his mother's power and the other obtained his own power, as for Urashiki Ōtsutsuki, he simply defeated himself.

"You see, in the end, it still comes down to me and you." Kaguya Otsutsuki sneered. "You instigated Hamura Otsutsuki to oppose me, but in the end, you still have to rely on my power to protect this world."

"It's different, Mother," Hagoromo Otsutsuki said earnestly. "You implanted humans into the God Tree and turned them into weapons. It's inhumane, and everyone fears you because of it."

"Do humans know that they will become your weapons after they die?" Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was dumbfounded.

Wait, that's a quick reaction? And such a tricky angle?

How do you know so much about my Pure Land?

"That's not the same, Mother," Hagoromo Otsutsuki said helplessly. "In order to fight the enemy you mentioned, I had to collect the Chakra of these heroes. Besides, I don't have control over them."

"But you can," Kaguya Otsutsuki said leisurely, "If you need to, you can still do it. That's far more cruel than me, who at least gave them the best dreams."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki: "..."

This topic is getting out of hand.

But he knew that Kaguya Otsutsuki wasn't entirely wrong.

He did retain this mechanism, as for the reason...

Hagoromo Otsutsuki hopes to make the world a better place.

But at the same time, he doesn't believe in human nature.

Humanity had already split apart even before he died.

Who knows if there might be traitors among them?

His mother has already shown him the consequences of betrayal.

"That's it?" Kaguya Otsutsuki was dissatisfied. "You dared to bewitch Hamura Otsutsuki into sealing me away, and this is all you've got? Speak up, why aren't you saying anything?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki: "... Mother, you've become harsh."

In the past, my mother would never have argued with him so much; she would have just taken matters into her own hands.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki now feels that he is still more used to the previous version of his mother.

Then he heard a hoarse voice.

"Hagoromo, you really dare to say that."

The sound came from Kaguya Otsutsuki's sleeve.

Black Zetsu peeked out from its sleeve, glaring angrily at Hagoromo Otsutsuki, its nominal brother.

"When you and Hamura Otsutsuki betrayed Mother, why didn't you consider her feelings?"

"Absolutely." Kaguya Otsutsuki said calmly, "Forget about Hamura Otsutsuki, don't drag him into this."

Not long after Hamura Otsutsuki's death, Kaguya Otsutsuki remembered the goodness of her youngest son.

Especially when he thought about how Hamura Otsutsuki would always want to talk to her.

She could sense Hamura Otsutsuki's feelings for her.

That's why I'm angry at his overly kind-hearted nature.

He was too honest, which is why he was completely fooled by his older brother.

"Yes, Mother." Black Zetsu replied obediently, "I won't mention Second Brother anymore."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki: "..."

He never considered Black Zetsu a brother, but merely an artificial human using Yin-Yang Release, a tool for resurrection.

He also believed that Ashura and Indra's tragic end was due to his failure to detect Black Zetsu's existence at the time.

He once wanted to kill Black Zetsu.

"Mother, this Black Zetsu has caused your grandson and his descendants to kill each other. You'd better not believe it."

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu glared angrily once again.

"That's all due to your own hypocrisy. You betrayed your mother first, and then you betrayed your own child, Hagoromo. There is no one more hypocritical and wicked than you in this world!"

Chapter 130 Farewell to the Six Paths

To Black Zetsu, there was no one in the world less conscience-driven and evil than Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

In their shared view that the other is an evil character, it and Hagoromo Otsutsuki are on the same page.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki ignored Black Zetsu.

After all, he didn't even believe it was something with true free will, so what was the point of communicating with an object?

This kind of reaction was not unfamiliar to Black Zetsu; it was commonplace for him.

There are plenty of people in this world who don't know its origins, but almost everyone who has seen it has this attitude.

To be honest, there's an exception: Shingen. I don't know what got into him, but he's always been treated like a human being.

It had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.

"Mother, he couldn't win the argument, so he stopped talking." Black Zetsu proudly showed his achievement to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Kaguya Otsutsuki glanced at Zetsu emerging from her sleeve and couldn't help but say, "You're becoming more and more like Shingen. Try not to imitate him too much in the future."

"Yes, Mother."

Black Zetsu instantly switches to a cute skin.

However, it disagreed, because it thought Uchiha Shingen was very powerful, and learning from a powerful friend was not ugly at all.

Although his mother always seemed to dislike him, Uchiha Shingen was indeed the only person she could talk to.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki, on the other hand, was weighing whether or not to call for reinforcements.

However, Kaguya Otsutsuki's aura felt completely different from what he had seen before, which made him hesitate.

If he could, he wouldn't want to go against his mother.

"I take back what I just said."
