Sōkyū Hatake held a glass of richly colored red wine, swirling it gently. His gaze also rested on Momoshiki Otsutsuki, calm but carrying a hint of scrutiny, as though he were assessing the value of a trophy.
"Yes, Sara." He took a sip of wine before answering, "According to what we know, they belong to the same clan, the Otsutsuki. Still, even among members of the same clan, the differences in individuals and their quality seem to be worlds apart." A faint trace of mockery colored Sōkyū Hatake's voice. Clearly, he did not think much of Momoshiki's quality.
Sara instinctively turned to glance at the observation room's closed door, as though trying to see through it to the outside. "Kaguya... she doesn't know what's happening here, does she?"
"No, I haven't told her," Sōkyū Hatake said evenly. "Her current condition is unusual. Her memories are blank, and her mind is like a clean sheet of paper. Exposing her to these clansmen too early, especially someone so full of hostility and obsession, might not be a good thing.
"Perhaps someday, once we know more and she's more stable, we can let her meet them. There's no rush. For now, let Orochimaru and Mayuri Kurotsuchi properly 'entertain' our guest."
Sara nodded, understanding Sōkyū Hatake's considerations. She looked down again, watching Orochimaru direct a mechanical arm to carefully extract a tiny tissue sample from Momoshiki's arm, while Mayuri Kurotsuchi adjusted an energy probe, trying to stimulate a more pronounced reaction from the sealed Kāma mark within Momoshiki.
"Can they... really find a way to deal with the other Otsutsuki through this man?" Sara asked with some concern. After all, Momoshiki Otsutsuki alone had nearly destroyed Iwagakure. If more came...
Sōkyū Hatake drained his glass, a confident smile curling his lips.
"A way? Perhaps.
