The shadow clone made no effort to lower his voice and spoke openly.
Otsutsuki Toneri, who was nearby, heard what the shadow clone said as well.
But at that moment, Otsutsuki Toneri had no idea what the shadow clone meant.
Uchiha Kazama's expression remained calm.
"I understand."
"If there's no way around it, let them figure something out themselves."
"But I'll probably have to leave what comes next to you."
Uchiha Kazama spoke with a smile.
"Understood."
The shadow clone nodded, then vanished in a puff of white smoke.
Just then, the seal before him disappeared.
At last, those two old bastards, Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki, dared to come out.
"Hey!"
"Ready yet?!"
Sensing the somewhat unusual chakra emanating from them, Uchiha Kazama wore a mocking expression.
These two were a little too cautious.
So cautious that Uchiha Kazama was almost starting to look down on them.
"Uchiha Kazama."
"We know you are indeed powerful."
"But there are many powerful people in this world."
"Power alone cannot deal with every person or resolve every situation."
"Especially now that you have become an anomaly and a disruptive force in this world."
"So we cannot allow you to continue existing."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki spoke with righteous conviction.
It was as though anything that came out of his mouth was the absolute truth.
Actually, the fact that he could say this...
...indirectly revealed something.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki was now certain that he could defeat Uchiha Kazama.
Only then would he stand on his supposed moral high ground and deliver such righteous declarations.
"So, are you ready?!"
Uchiha Kazama still looked completely relaxed.
His words still carried a teasing edge.
"Yes."
"We are ready."
"And you... are you ready?"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki was not angered.
They were never the sort to let their emotions interfere too
