Open the Situation!

On the moon.

Hyuga Hitoshi stood atop a cliff, holding Hagoromo Otsutsuki's ashes as he gazed at the distant Earth.

Earth was beautiful. The Shinobi World was only one part of it.

Hyuga Hitoshi did not know what remained beyond the Shinobi World, but he vaguely felt that perhaps his purpose was to complete this incomplete worldview.

But he did not yet have that kind of strength, so there was no point thinking so much.

After a brief exchange, Hyuga Hitoshi learned some things from Hagoromo Otsutsuki that he had already known.

For instance, after sealing away his own mother a thousand years ago, the Sage of Six Paths traveled far and wide in the name of atonement, spreading Chakra to every corner of the world before founding the Shinobi Sect.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki had also come to the moon "out of guilt." He claimed he was accompanying his mother, but in truth, he was monitoring her and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, continuing until his lifespan ran out.

The brothers were cut from the same cloth. After one died, he laid out plans for the entire Shinobi World, trying to build a Sustainable Development world according to his script.

After the other died, his remaining soul still contributed its strength to sealing his mother.

Of course.

Those old, overdiscussed matters were not worth paying attention to.

So Hyuga Hitoshi decided to give Ancestor Hamura something different.

With a forceful twist of one hand, Hamura's urn spun rapidly on the Hitoshi Clan Head's fingers like a basketball.

As he toyed with it, the Hitoshi Clan Head revealed a cordial smile.

"Based on what you said, this clan head has a few questions and hopes Ancestor Hamura can answer them."

"First, we know that the God Tree had already been planted on Earth before your mother arrived. So who exactly planted it?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki: Don't know?

"Second, that Old Toad clearly stated that Chakra was brought by your mother. Then where did your mother get it? The God Tree? No, even without the God Tree, your mother could still use Chakra."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki: Don't know either??

"Third, since your mother was an alien who fell From the Sky, can you be certain she was the only alien to fall From the Sky? Or can you guarantee that similar aliens will not descend in the future and bring disaster to Earth?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki: !!

"Fourth, before she was sealed, did your mother seem constantly worried, as though she were guarding against something? And what was the purpose of the strange White Species created by the Infinite Tsukuyomi she launched, as you called it?"

After that brief exchange, Hagoromo Otsutsuki furrowed his brow tightly. He realized he could not answer any of it.

"See? You knew nothing, yet you readily followed your brother in sealing your mother. Why didn't you ask before making a move? Maybe she wanted to tell you, but felt that as her sons, you should trust your mother unconditionally, so she never said anything?"

Hyuga Hitoshi said with a pained expression.

"Though the Infinite Tsukuyomi dealt a huge blow to Earth back then, and your mother, the Rabbit Goddess, was somewhat lacking in judgment, you should at least have figured out the reason, shouldn't you?"

With that, Hyuga Hitoshi spread his hands slightly.

"Your mother didn't say anything, and you two didn't ask. In the End, it became the Rabbit Goddess turning insatiably greedy. Maybe your mother figured that if something went wrong with Earth later, it would serve you Unfilial Sons right if you died. After taking action, she couldn't even be bothered explaining anymore."

That was indeed possible!

There were actually so many hidden dangers on Earth??

Looking at it this way, the matter of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path did not seem to be the most serious one!

After all, his brother was watching over the Shinobi World. Before he came to the moon, his brother had seemed to say that he would arrange an ideal script for the Shinobi World, telling him not to worry and to focus on monitoring their mother.

But if the enemy was at his mother's level, wouldn't his brother's script fall apart? Could he withstand it then?

At that thought, Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked at Hyuga Hitoshi with even greater fervor. His descendant really was capable—he was actually this smart!

Yet the Hitoshi Brother wore a troubled expression.

"Don't look at this clan head. This clan head's strength is limited, so I can't help."

"Besides, if this clan head performs too brilliantly, I might disrupt your brother's plans. What if he gets unhappy? I can't disobey him either, can I? He is your brother, after all."

That really was a problem.

Damn it, why did this brat's words have some inexplicable power that made people believe him?

Hamura frowned, but his gaze gradually Became Firm.

"If it truly comes to that, you can have him put away his script. The Shinobi World has been under his control for a thousand years, yet I can smell that stench even from the moon."

"Perhaps the Shinobi World does not need a script. Letting it develop freely may be the most appropriate choice."

But I couldn't defeat him.

Hyuga Hitoshi waggled his brows, hinting nonstop.

The Sage of Six Paths had even given Naruto and Sasuke cheats. As such an outstanding junior, shouldn't this clan head receive a little support?

Why work without pay?

At that thought, Hyuga Hitoshi let out another Long Sigh, muttering things like, "There are no capable people under me, his clansmen have taken the wrong path, and someone needs to stand up and guide them."

Then he went on and on. "My eyes have been very strange lately. Ancestor Hamura should know what's going on, right?"

Listening to such words made Hagoromo Otsutsuki feel somewhat sick. This man was determined to strip him bare. Not only did he have his eyes on his clansmen, he also wanted to Go Further and obtain real power.

But it seemed he... had no choice? He had always watched over the moon, and several centuries ago, he had repeatedly met his mother's Mocked gaze. Combined with the questions this man had raised, he could not help but think deeply.

Ignoring the muttering man, Hamura sighed softly and slightly manipulated his soul power, beginning to gather something.

Meanwhile, Hyuga Hitoshi still did not stop babbling, secretly observing Ancestor Hamura's expression.

Honestly, after meeting Hamura, his perspective had suddenly Opened the Situation.

Destroying the branch family and main family of the Otsutsuki Clan.

That was not difficult. He only needed to exploit their conflict a little.

But Hyuga Hitoshi was considering the practical significance.

If he took a people-oriented approach, it would be better for him, Hyuga Hitoshi, to step forward and absorb all these Otsutsuki under his command!

After all, once the Hyuga fully developed and ruled over the Shinobi World, manpower would be needed in every area. Were these Otsutsuki not Ready-made human resources?

As for how to create the Energy Vessel Tenseigan capable of controlling the moon if these people did not die.

That depended on whether the Hamura brothers would come through.

Whether it was the Energy Vessel Tenseigan or the Purple Tenseigan used during the branch family's rebellion, both were assembled from Byakugan.

But the Otsutsuki Clan had inherited their legacy on the moon for over a thousand years. There was no way they had destroyed all the Byakugan of their dead clansmen, right?

They did not have the Caged Bird Curse Mark to restrain the branch family, and the main family was not just one branch. With so many clansmen over such a long time, the stockpiled Byakugan would definitely be enough to create an Energy Vessel Tenseigan. The quantity might even be so immense that they could create an Ultimate Weapon stronger than the one from the Original Work's movie.

This was probably Hagoromo Otsutsuki's Ultimate Trump Card.

A man who could fight Kaguya alongside his brother until heaven and earth were turned upside down could not possibly be weak.

Finally.

"The previous Ancestral Hall. The seventh step in the southwest corner. Take this token there, and the Secret Door will open by itself. What you need is inside."

When Hamura tossed a token to Hyuga Hitoshi, it meant that a transaction satisfactory to both sides had been successfully completed.

The moment the token left his hand, Hamura's body had become nearly transparent.

His gaze toward Hyuga Hitoshi also turned complicated.

At that very moment, having recovered a little clarity, Hamura suddenly sensed this man's ambition.

After all, this brat's attitude before and after had changed far too quickly. With benefits and without benefits, he was practically two different people.

Just listen to what he had said!

"The Sage of Six Paths' descendants all have some mental illness. A Shinobi World built by a bunch of lunatics definitely has some problems too!"

"As his younger brother, you have an obligation to correct those mistakes No Matter What. And as your most outstanding junior, this clan head likewise has an obligation to correct them. From this point alone, Ancestor Hamura's judgment is remarkably good."

"Of course, I will not adopt radical measures like the branch family. Instead, I will guide them as a leader. You can slowly watch and see."

"Maintaining lasting peace and stability in the Shinobi World is our duty! We can't let your brother squat in the outhouse without taking a shit!"

Just shut up already...

It was hard to imagine that his own descendant could say such things. Hamura's expression became even more complicated.

After finishing his speech, Hyuga Hitoshi gave Hagoromo Otsutsuki a friendly smile and stated that once the pay was in place, the Sage of Six Paths could be taken down. From now on, the Shinobi World would follow the rules of the two of them, while Hagoromo Otsutsuki could step aside!

As this Century Meeting came to an end, Hamura's Soul Body Slowly Disappeared, leaving only his illusory voice in the air.

"Let this old man see what you are capable of... the new Clan Head of the Otsutsuki!"

The Hitoshi Clan Head watched Hamura disappear. After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately did not scatter Hamura's ashes. Instead, he stored them in his Space-Time storage. If he encountered the Sage of Six Paths someday, he could Take Out his brother and use him as a handy Hidden Weapon.

After finishing everything, he waved toward the universe.

Farewell, Ancestor!
