"So, you're saying that although you're from the Ōtsutsuki Clan, you don't agree with their ideology?"

"That's right, Your Excellency Carl."

The Sage of Six Paths nodded in affirmation.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Don't forget, I have the memories of this Shinobi World native!"

Ren's face was full of doubt, but his tone was no longer so stiff and had softened a bit.

"Right and wrong are for Your Excellency Carl to judge for yourself, but as for Krypton, I seem to have never heard of it before?"

The Sage of Six Paths wasn't stupid. If he had actually believed the fabricated origin story Ren made up, he probably would have been killed by Kaguya long ago.

Upon hearing this, Ren immediately became very excited.

"What, you, a native who has never even traveled through the universe, dare to try and find out news about Krypton?"

"Lord Carl, you misunderstand. Putting aside Krypton, Mr. Carl must be extremely knowledgeable about the Ōtsutsuki Clan."

Ren immediately understood. It seemed the Sage of Six Paths wasn't easily fooled; Gamamaru had probably been used by him in a scheme.

Feeling the speed at which his internal energy was recovering, Ren continued the conversation.

"I naturally have an exceptionally deep understanding of the Ōtsutsuki Clan..."

Then he began to recount the records that later generations had read, and slowly began to speak.

"... The Ōtsutsuki Clan possesses a myriad of unique and wondrous innate abilities, some of which are..."

As they were talking, Ren suddenly reached out and slapped forward, and a talisman made of true essence flew swiftly toward the Sage of Six Paths.

Similarly, a pitch-black barrier appeared in front of the Sage of Six Paths.

Furthermore, three small, jet-black spheres pierced through the barrier and hurtled towards Ren.

The talisman seemed to exist outside of this world, permeating the Truth-Seeking Orb in the center without being affected in the slightest.

It's really powerful!

Ren was overjoyed to see that the talisman ignored the Truth-Seeking Orb's obstruction.

However, the depletion of most of his true energy left Ren slightly exhausted.

Instead of dodging the incoming Truth-Seeking Orb, he chose to take them head-on.

The spherical Truth-Seeking Orb Ren is not afraid at all, since it can't break through its defenses.

The Sage of Six Paths was also quite surprised to see the strange runes that appeared after passing through the barrier.

They couldn't even detect any energy fluctuations, let alone feel any threat.

If one could see clearly with their own eyes, the Sage of Six Paths would have no way of perceiving it.

It was too late when it was seen; the talisman had passed through the Truth-Seeking Orb barrier and attached itself directly to the Sage of Six Paths' right hand.

Conversely, Ren was also knocked back by the impact of the three Truth-Seeking Orbs.

Then, Ren saw a portal that looked like it was made up of black pixels.

Yomotsu Hirasaka!

Why?

Ren, who had once fought the Sage of Six Paths, was well aware that the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' space-time Dōjutsu was different from Kaguya's; it was a different form of expression.

Unless the Sage of Six Paths possesses two spatial Dōjutsu.

By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late. Ren was falling downwards at an abnormally rapid pace.

Super Gravity Space!

The pixel portal above has now closed.

In the Shinobi World Sea, the Sage of Sage of Six Paths is no longer the charlatan he once was; he has regained his appearance as Nagato, and only one Rinnegan remains.

Seeing the right hand emitting a continuous glow, the Sage of Six Paths did not hesitate and directly severed the right hand with a slash using his left hand.

Ignoring his bloodied right arm, the Sage of Six Paths watched as his severed right hand slowly dimmed until it became an ordinary palm, and then he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The Sage of Six Paths was completely indifferent to this body.

The avatar that descended upon the Shinobi World at this moment, that Rinnegan is the true body; the physical body is merely soil, used to provide a little nourishment.

Super Gravity Space.

Ren stood on the ground with a slightly relaxed expression, looking around.

The space is not large; you can see the edges just by looking.

After briefly observing the surroundings, Ren closed his eyes and began to sense his surroundings.

The concentration of Natural Energy was even slightly higher than in the previous sea area.

Very good!

The Sage of Six Paths probably thinks he's been banished and is enjoying himself right now.

With a faint smile on his face, Ren began to rapidly absorb the Natural Energy.

Kamui Space.

Black Zetsu offered no explanation in response to Obito's questioning.

He controlled the Ten-Tails to jump onto another platform and quickly formed Hand Seals.

Then, the Ten-Tails' form gradually twisted and began to converge into Black Zetsu's body.

Just like when Obito absorbed the Moryo.

However, the speed was vastly different from when Obito absorbed the Moryo.

Madara's black hair gradually turned snow-white, and a white haori appeared out of thin air.

Unlike Obito, Black Zetsu controlled Madara to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki without having to fight against the Ten-Tails' will. It was like a fish in water, and the process was extremely smooth.

It wasn't over yet; Madara, who had already become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, continued to undergo changes.

Ban's body became like several balloons squeezed together, extremely swollen.

This time, Black Zetsu was extremely confident. This was the method he remembered, not some dubious method that appeared from the Rinnegan.

It must be the mother.

Obito didn't stand idly by; as Black Zetsu absorbed the Ten-Tails, Obito instantly appeared beside Black Zetsu.

Obito's goal was not to destroy Black Zetsu along with Madara; all he wanted was the Rinnegan.

In order to prevent the uncontrollable power of the Moryo from Rinnegan into dust.

Obito carefully controlled his strength, choosing to grab directly with his hands.

Even after fusing with the Ten-Tails, Black Zetsu was still able to control Madara's body with complete freedom of movement.

After Madara became Jinchūriki, he looked like he was about to explode.

Just as Obito thought he had found an opportunity and reached for Madara's Rinnegan, Obito witnessed something beyond his comprehension.

The Rinnegan, before it could be removed, instantly transformed into the Byakugan.

"Boom!"

As if sensing a crisis, the Byakugan exuded a powerful pressure.

The oppressive force was visible to the naked eye, and even the Kamui Space generated a shockwave as a result.

[Byakugan - Intimidating!]

Obito felt alright; although the aura was strong, it was impossible for him to submit.

However, the Moryo within Obito's body became a hindrance, preventing him from controlling his body and causing the Moryo's power to recede like a tide.

Uchiha Yushu!

Even though it was Black Zetsu was causing trouble and Moryo was disobedient, Obito blamed Ren instead.

If the Hellfire hadn't burned away countless souls, the Moryo wouldn't have had any chance to resist.

With Obito's Chakra, it was simply impossible to withstand the oppressive aura of a crippled Kaguya.

As his knees slowly bent, about to kneel, Obito a teleportation technique to reach another platform.

The changes in Ban's body are complete.

A woman over two meters tall appeared in the Kamui Space.

Her snow-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, trailing a long stretch on the ground.

Kaguya at this time was completely different in temperament from the naive little girl Orochimaru had met before.

It has a very sophisticated feel to it.

"Mother!"

The dark shadow clinging to the woman's sleeve shouted excitedly.

Kaguya ignored the well-behaved and sensible Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu always treated Kaguya as his mother, but Kaguya never treated Black Zetsu as her son.

Kaguya's two Byakugan were crystal clear, but the fine slit in the center of her forehead was tightly closed.

Feeling her weakened state, Kaguya's expression was quite unpleasant.

Who are you?

Kaguya looked up at the wary Obito.

Descendants of the Hagoromo?

It contained the inferior bloodline of the natives and a disgusting power.

With just one glance, Kaguya saw through Obito completely.

Reclaim your Chakra, starting with what's in front of you.

Regardless of how many generations of Hagoromo's descendants she was, Kaguya showed no intention of treating her differently.

"Child, do not be afraid, I am your ancestor, today is the day of your return."

Kaguya opened her arms and slowly flew towards Obito, as if she wanted to embrace him.

Those cold, emotionless eyes— Obito would be a fool to believe them.

Everything was so strange. After Madara became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he turned into a woman, and Black Zetsu called him "Mom."

Back then, Madara confidently declared that Black Zetsu was his will.

Obito may not be smart, but he's not brain-dead either.

There were too many odd things going on, Obito decided to keep his useful body for later discussion.

With a thought, Obito instantly vanished from the Kamui Space.

They ran away?

"Mom, that person's name is Obito Uchiha. This is his Dōjutsu space, and also, all these years..."

"Shut up!"

After hearing the useful information, Kaguya didn't want to listen to Black Zetsu's rambling.

The title "Black Zetsu" in particular made Kaguya quite uncomfortable.

Although Hagoromo and Hamura are rebellious and have no regard for their mother, at least they are good-looking, and even among the Ōtsutsuki Clan, they appear extremely heroic.

Black Zetsu was merely a fragment of consciousness that emerged in the emergency when Kaguya failed; how could it compare to Hagoromo and Hamura?

After learning that this was a space containing Dōjutsu, Kaguya forcibly opened the slit on her forehead a crack.

[Yomotsu Hirasaka!]

A black hole formed by pixels appeared in the Kamui Space, Kaguya stepped directly out.

"Who goes there!"

"State your identity, and why you infiltrated the Land of Lightning."

"State your purpose!"

"..."

A cacophony of voices reached Kaguya's ears.

"Mom, this is the Land of Lightning! They are all Hidden Cloud Village, a bunch of thieves who stole your power!"

Black Zetsu's voice rang out again from his sleeve.

Even with the Ten-Tails, Kaguya still felt a lack of chakra and a sense of weakness, compounded by the constant hunger emanating from the Ten-Tails.

This made Kaguya aware of what she needed to do.

The attack from behind stretched out like a peacock spreading its tail, enveloping all the clamoring Hidden Cloud Village.

The Hidden Cloud Village squads offered almost no resistance, and moments later they all lay peacefully on the ground, lifeless.

After absorbing the Chakra of these ninjas, Kaguya frowned.

Not only was the amount of Chakra so small it wouldn't even fill a tooth gap, but more importantly, Kaguya felt that the quality of the Chakra within them was so low that it didn't even deserve to be called Chakra.

Sensing the Eye of the Moon in the center of her forehead, Kaguya estimated that creatures called ninjas would need to collect at least tens of thousands of them before they could unleash Infinite Tsukuyomi.

This is far too slow.

Kaguya closed her eyes and began to focus all her senses on sensing.

Kaguya, who has merged with the God Tree, namely the Ten-Tails, has a perception range that is incomparable to that of two thousand years ago.

Moreover, the Chakra within all creatures in the Shinobi World now originates from Kaguya, so as long as Chakra exists within them, Kaguya can easily sense it.

Densely packed, countless points of light, large and small, were scattered everywhere—in the mountains, plains, basins, oceans, and rivers.

These points of light vary in size, yet they are everywhere.

As the scope expanded, Kaguya's heart trembled.

Hagoromo...

Kaguya did not stop sensing, but she also did not expand it further.

A portal reappeared before her, Kaguya floated in.

Above the twilight-colored sea.

The Sage of Six Paths breathed a sigh of relief after severing his arm, but his eyes immediately narrowed.

The empty space where its arm was severed still emitted a fluorescent glow.

Marked Chakra, or soul?

The Sage of Six Paths leans towards the latter, which makes things a bit complicated.

Unless this part of the soul is abandoned, this mark can never be removed.

Just as the Sage of Six Paths hesitated, he suddenly felt a familiar Chakra sweep over him.

Mother...

The thought had barely formed when a black pixelated portal appeared before the Sage of Six Paths.

You can make your choice now.

Just as Kaguya's head peeked out, the Sage of Six Paths decisively left Nagato's body.

Furthermore, the soul fragments bearing the mark on the right hand of the soul entity disintegrated on their own.

"Hagoromo!"

A voice filled with a variety of complex emotions appeared above the sea.

Kaguya's eyes, which had been devoid of any emotion, were now filled with sorrow.

Hagoromo, are you afraid I'll blame you?

But Mom has already forgiven you.

Super Gravity Space.

Ren sensed that the mark had suddenly stopped again, but he was not discouraged and continued to frantically absorb Natural Energy, converting it into true essence.

It must be acknowledged that the Sage of Six Paths was a genius, whether it was the self-sufficient Chibaku Tensei Seal, the self-sufficient youth version of Tsukuyomi in the Pure Land, or the Chakra factory of the entire Shinobi World.

These weren't things Kaguya taught her, since Kaguya herself didn't know them.

Ultimately, she lacked knowledge and had never contacted her family, so she was unaware of the terror of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

The Ōtsutsuki Clan is capable of being perfectly resurrected using only a backup of information containing no energy.

Neither destroying its body nor its soul can completely erase it.

Only by completely erasing all information about him can a true Ōtsutsuki Clan member be eliminated.

This was a lesson learned in blood by later generations: those who slay dragons eventually become dragons themselves.

The person who kills the Ōtsutsuki Clan will eventually transform into the Ōtsutsuki Clan and slaughter those around them.

After numerous instances of family and friends turning against each other, and before information technology advanced to the point where it could annihilate the Ōtsutsuki Clan, the human race had a special group of cultivators known as the Containers.

Containment wedge, suppression wedge, until it can no longer be suppressed, then it will willingly die at the hands of the next containment host.

The method Ren used before was an informational imprint. Even if the Sage of Six Paths hid at the ends of the earth, Ren would definitely be able to find him given enough time.

In the crevice between the Pure Land and the Impure World, a colossal body opened its eyes.

Krypton, Carl, Mother...

Fragments of memories began to surface, and the Sage of Six Paths could only blame bad luck for the disintegration of his clone into soul fragments.

If his mother hadn't arrived, or had arrived a few hours later, everything would have been a success, and he, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, would have become a true god, existing forever!

Sigh~

With a slight sigh, the Sage of Six Paths continued what he was doing.

Until, he suddenly noticed a faint glow emanating from his right hand.

A hint of horror finally appeared in the eyes that had remained expressionless for nearly a thousand years, as if they had lost their souls.

Super Gravity Space.

Ren, who was constantly refining and rapidly consuming his true essence, finally revealed a faint smile on his face.

I've found you, Sage of Six Paths!
