Uchiha Makoto and his companion exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
Uchiha Makoto took a deep breath and said, "Let's go in!"
Kaguya Takeori nodded, and the two of them walked nervously toward the mysterious temple.
The entire outer stone temple was constructed from massive stone slabs, and the so-called temple inside was almost identical to the exterior, entirely made of stone slabs.
As a place for worshipping ancestors, it has no ornate decorations; instead, it is a vast and empty space.
But there aren't even any statues of gods here!
The empty space was filled only with the echoes of footsteps and the sound of breathing; the silence was oppressive.
"Have we fallen into a trap?"
Seeing this somewhat eerie scene, Kaguya Takeori's eyes flashed with vigilance, and she kept an eye on the entrance, ready to make a run for it at any moment.
They were told that the ancestor was waiting for them here, but this was the scene they were in, which made her think a lot!
Especially that opponent's unfathomable Tenseigan!
Recalling the scene of the powerful members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan flying with the help of Tenseigan, Kaguya Takeori felt a hint of apprehension in her eyes.
"Don't worry, they don't have the ability to keep us here!"
Uchiha Makoto offered words of comfort while his gaze swept across the temple.
This temple... it seems to have appeared in the original story?
Rumble!
A series of muffled sounds rang out, and the next second, a floor panel in front of the two suddenly moved, revealing a secret passage leading downwards.
"Sincerity!"
Kaguya Takeori a soft cry and flashed to Uchiha Makoto's side.
Uchiha Makoto gently shook his head, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the tunnel that seemed to be flickering with Kakkō.
"It seems this is the true passage to meet the progenitor."
"Taketori, let's go!"
Kaguya Takeori nodded slightly and followed Uchiha Makoto carefully down the stairs.
An old, worn atmosphere permeated the tunnel, and torches on the walls flickered, casting interplay of light and shadow.
"We've reached the bottom!"
Uchiha Makoto stepped on the floor, looking at the layers of skulls piled up here, his lips twitching slightly.
Do these Ōtsutsuki really enjoy building mounds of skulls with their own heads?
What kind of filial piety is this!
Just as Uchiha Makoto was internally ranting and raving, a powerful Chakra with a shimmering glow rapidly appeared and solidified around him.
An old man dressed in standard Ōtsutsuki attire, with a slightly plump face, suddenly appeared beside the two.
The person who arrived was none other than Hamura Ōtsutsuki.
He didn't speak, but simply floated quietly cross-legged.
But as time went on, his gaze towards Uchiha Makoto and the other man softened.
They are all very capable and promising kids!
A moment later.
Seeing the somewhat surprised and uncertain expressions on their faces, Hamura Ōtsutsuki said with a slight smile, "Do you recognize me?"
For Uchiha Makoto, who had read the original work, Hamura Ōtsutsuki's appearance was naturally familiar.
Even if he didn't know clearly, he could guess from the two small horns on the old man's head and the Byakugan of his eyes.
Just like Kaguya Takeori now.
The Kaguya Clan had long since lost knowledge of Hamura Ōtsutsuki, but in this place, there was absolutely no one else with Chakra of this quality!
As the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, Hamura Ōtsutsuki was also a true Six Paths level powerhouse, and his Chakra was naturally far superior to that of Kaguya Takeori.
If Uchiha Makoto wants to achieve his goal, whether it's defeating Isshiki or doing something else, Hamura Ōtsutsuki is a great target for making a lot of money.
Unlike Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, he had a more stable personality, closer to that of a normal person. After sealing Kaguya, he even moved to the Kaguya, such a desolate place, to be with her.
Although it now appears that he had more than one motive.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Hamura Ōtsutsuki is a sentimental person!
Judging from the actions of the Ōtsutsuki Hamura Ōtsutsuki has decided to entrust them to him!
For this, asking for some compensation isn't unreasonable, is it?
And there's also a direct descendant of Kaguya Takeori...
Since that's the case... it's time for the filial sons and virtuous grandsons to make their appearance!
Fearful Reverence, activate!
Suppressing the urge to immediately spend all his gold coins, Uchiha Makoto feigned concern and gently squeezed Kaguya Takeori's hand.
It seemed to be an attempt to calm her flustered emotions.
Seeing this, Hamura Ōtsutsuki couldn't help but smile like an aunt, subconsciously ignoring the momentary awkwardness on Kaguya Takeori's face.
"Don't be nervous!"
Uchiha Makoto smiled gently and said.
Kaguya Takeori Chakra, whose hand was being held, received a message from Uchiha Makoto through their touching palms. "Do as I say! Pretend!"
Kaguya Takeori pursed her red lips and stood timidly beside Uchiha Makoto, speaking in a voice barely audible as she addressed Hamura Ōtsutsuki: "Ancestor!"
"Um!"
Upon hearing Kaguya Takeori's words, Hamura Ōtsutsuki smiled with satisfaction and nodded in agreement.
What a good child!
Seeing that Hamura Ōtsutsuki smiled, Uchiha Makoto also smiled happily.
Even with his Byakugan Hamura Ōtsutsuki, it was difficult for him to detect the Chakra exchange between the two during such close contact.
They're definitely going to rake in Old Deng's gold coins!
Looking at Uchiha Makoto and the other two, Hamura Ōtsutsuki nodded in satisfaction.
"They're all good kids!"
"Let me tell you about the past," said Hamura Ōtsutsuki with a sigh, then his eyes filled with reminiscence.
So, Hamura Ōtsutsuki started talking about Otsutsuki Kaguya and continued until the split of the Ninshu.
Uchiha Makoto and his companion listened obediently below, but they had other plans in mind.
Looking at Hamura Ōtsutsuki in front of him, Uchiha Makoto was unsure of Hamura's current strength.
As a true Six Paths level powerhouse, and compared to Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, who constantly dispersed his Chakra, Hamura Ōtsutsuki clearly lived longer.
Moreover, even if he dies, his Chakra can be maintained for a long time, especially since there is a different dimension in the Shinobi World called the Pure Land!
With the addition of the Great Tenseigan outside, just how powerful is Hamura Ōtsutsuki?
In the original story, Otsutsuki Toneri had just awakened the Tenseigan, was able to split half of the moon in two. It wouldn't be difficult for Hamura Ōtsutsuki!
On the other side, Kaguya Takeori was discussing with Uchiha Makoto how to reasonably generate gold coins.
She couldn't wait any longer!
At that moment, the storyteller Hamura Ōtsutsuki, finished recounting the history.
"Child, this is the history of the Shinobi World!"
"Although my brother was indeed somewhat biased in his treatment of Indra, I still hope you won't blame him!"
"He did it all to protect the Shinobi World!"
Hamura Ōtsutsuki gave a wry smile. He was also very dissatisfied with Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's treatment of Indra.
What a fine child, and he was forced into such a state!
Uchiha Makoto listened to Hamura Ōtsutsuki's words and shook his head with a smile.
"I will not blame my ancestors!"
"Speaking of which, my ancestor was almost as old as my parents!"
Uchiha Makoto remained calm and composed, smiling as he spoke.
