At this time, someone may want to say: Doesn't Naruto also have the blood of Sage of Six Paths, a descendant of Otsutsuki, flowing in his body? From a fundamental point of view, he also has the blood of Otsutsuki.

But, it's localized!

Kaguya gave birth to two sons by herself, but her two sons were the offspring of an ordinary woman named Shinobi World.

Then all the children and grandchildren will marry and have children with Shinobi World people.

The blood has been passed down for thousands of years and has long since been diluted beyond recognition.

The huge vitality of the Uzumaki Clan, the strong body of the Senju Clan, the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan...

These can be regarded as the "flowers" of different shapes but equally gorgeous bloomed by the Otsutsuki bloodline on the soil of Shinobi World, combined with local factors.

In Naruto's view, Shinobi World's capability system is one where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Senjutsu, Kekkei Genkai, Kekkei Tōta, and even various esoteric and Forbidden Jutsu...

Their roots may be traced back to Otsutsuki, but their development, evolution, refinement, and ever-changing application methods have long surpassed the scope of the original "Divine Technique" or "Dōjutsu". Although the power is not as powerful as Divine Technique, Ninjutsu is more comprehensive.

Naruto even believes that Ōtsutsuki Clan the seemingly high-end "Divine Technique" and "Dōjutsu" may not be more useful than "Ninjutsu" that has been tempered by countless Ninja wisdom and practical combat.

Otsutsuki's power system often appears simple, crude, and dependent on talent and bloodline, while Ninjutsu's system pays more attention to skills, research, combination, and innovation.

Moreover, in the eyes of Naruto, Ōtsutsuki Clan also has a fatal flaw: they are very self-contained, relying on blood and inheritance, and lack the true spirit of "learning" and "evolution".

For example, their key resurrection method - "Wedge".

Theoretically, as the "subordinate" who was fed to Ten-Tails, Kaguya should know the existence of "Wedge".

Because Otsutsuki is rare in number and individually precious, in order to cope with the long space voyage and possible dangers, it relies heavily on "wedge", an "insurance" method that digitizes itself and implants it into other people's bodies so that it can be resurrected in the future.

This is one of the core technologies that their family continues.

However, according to the information about the original work that Naruto knows, Kaguya seems... not aware of the existence of "Wedge"?

At least, before she was sealed by her two sons, the only backup plan she could think of was to use Yin-Yang Release to create a will creation "Black Zetsu" instead of leaving a "wedge" on her son.

Judging from the performance of Momoshiki Otsutsuki and others who appeared later, if Kaguya knew the existence of "Wedge", she would most likely put "Wedge" on her two talented and powerful sons as the perfect "instrument" for her future resurrection.

This is Otsutsuki's survival instinct.

When Urashiki was fighting against Naruto, there was no way to wedge it, because Naruto only got close when digging his eyes, and he still used Wood Clone.

So, why didn't Kaguya do this?

Naruto had a bold guess in his mind, which partially explained his understanding of the contradictions in the setting of the "original work":

This performance is most likely because the "wedge" setting was a "patch" only added during the "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations" period.

In the era when the main story of "Shippuden" takes place, the "wedge" resurrection mechanism of Otsutsuki is most likely something that has not been clearly set yet.

Therefore, it makes sense that Kaguya doesn't know the wedge.

Following this line of thinking, Naruto came up with a more logical guess about Kaguya's behavior back then:

In terms of setting, Kaguya sneak attacked Isshiki, most likely because she didn't know the existence of Wei at all.

She can be resurrected in others through "Wedge".

In her opinion, killing Isshiki and feeding him to Ten-Tails can prevent her from becoming Ten-Tails's nourishment.

After killing Isshiki, Kaguya felt deeply afraid. She was afraid of the Ōtsutsuki Main Family's revenge.

A companion died here. Main Family will know about it sooner or later and will send people to investigate and liquidate. In order to deal with the possible arrival of more powerful Otsutsuki pursuers, she chose to transform a large number of humans at that time into "White Zetsu" who were stronger than ordinary people and absolutely loyal, trying to form a huge army to protect herself and fight against possible enemies.

And coincidentally, among the people she transformed, there was the one she loved most, her eldest son Hagoromo.

This caused the two children to accidentally discover the cruel truth behind "God Tree Festival", which caused a fierce conflict with the image of their mother who was strict but at least kind.

In the end, the conflict intensified, leading to the antagonism between mother and son, and the subsequent sealing war.

Seeing Hamura's expression in front of him, which still showed confusion and pain about what his mother had done, but clearly did not know the real reason behind his mother's actions, Naruto understood in his heart.

Naruto has previously refuted some of Kaguya's extreme views.

At this moment, Naruto decided to simply inform Hamura of Kaguya's plan for that year and some of the relevant information he knew.

"That's probably what happened."

Naruto summed it up concisely and concisely.

Hamura fell into a long silence after listening.

The spirit Soul Body seems to fluctuate slightly due to the impact of information.

Finally, he let out a long, extremely heavy sigh.

"Even so..."

Hamura's voice was full of complex emotions, "But my mother shouldn't have done that at that time."

He understood that his mother was trying to survive and protect himself from unknown and powerful threats.

"She should not try to resist a powerful enemy at the expense of the lives, freedom and will of countless ordinary people."

Hamura's tone was filled with deep regret and disapproval, "Obviously... my brother and I have grown up and become stronger.

The enemy is outside. Mother... should inform our brothers.

We can find a way together and face it together instead of... forcing herself, and the whole world, into that situation."

Hamura I don't understand why a mother would rather choose that cruel and lonely way than trust and rely on her son.

Just after Hamura expressed these emotions.

"..."

Under the gaze of the four people outside the seal, Kaguya lowered his head.

She moved her lips a few times and said quietly:

"I... I forgot."

Hamura:"..."

The Hamura of Soul Body seems to be petrified in an instant.

The complicated expression on his face that was mixed with grief, regret, and confusion was instantly replaced by shock and confusion.

Forgot?

Forgot something?

Have you forgotten that you can rely on your son?

Forgot you can trust them?

Looking at his mother's expressionless face, but looking a little "dumb" because of saying these words, an incredible thought that made Hamura's soul tremble came out uncontrollably:

Is Mother, the iceberg beauty who looks aloof, cold and indifferent to worldly affairs, actually a stupid beauty on the inside?

In other words, my mother's usual appearance of being indifferent to everything, as if she was thinking deeply about the truth of the universe, is actually probably because she can't turn her head around, so she is thinking very hard and slowly, right?

This realization, for Hamura, has the same impact as when he learned that his mother wanted to destroy the world.

He spent thousands of years trying to understand his mother's "deep meaning" and "difficulties", but in the end, it might just be because of his mother...

My brain is not very good... my way of thinking is too simple?

Hamura's spirit Soul Body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably. I don't know if it was because of this overly subversive cognition or because of something...

A ridiculous, ridiculous emotion.

Sealing Space fell into another kind of strange silence for a while.

Naruto raised his eyebrows, seeming to be a little surprised by this answer, but then he showed a hint of "Sure enough".

Hinata and Hanabi looked at each other, completely unable to understand the dramatic scene in front of them.

Kaguya seemed to have exhausted all his strength after saying that sentence, and slowly lowered his head, returning to the "sculpture" state of sitting quietly.

Only Hamura's spirit Soul Body is left in a mess.
