Shinsei's mind raced.

Having just witnessed Otsutsuki Kaguya's memories, he knew that if he gave the wrong answer, he would immediately be attacked by the woman in front of him.

Although Otsutsuki Kaguya cannot unleash her full power right now, her consciousness is currently within the Ten-Tails ' body.

If the woman in front of me goes crazy, I'll be badly injured, if not killed.

"Ancestor, I had no choice! Your son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, calls himself the Sage of Six Paths. He's preventing his descendants from rescuing you. If I hadn't cultivated Sage Mode, I wouldn't be able to defeat them, and I wouldn't be here before you now."

"So that's how it is. Hagoromo is indeed powerful. With your current Chakra, you're no match for him."

"Grandfather, how can I rescue you?"

Otsutsuki Kaguya, seeing Shinsei's anxious expression, asked with some confusion, "You are merely my junior, why are you in such a hurry to rescue me?"

Seeing Otsutsuki Kaguya's suspicious gaze, Shinsei earnestly said, "Ancestor, after much investigation, I have finally learned your exact whereabouts. Having such a powerful ancestor is an honor for us descendants. However, your son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, has imprisoned you. This is simply not how a son should treat his mother. With such a senior setting an example, the younger generation follows suit, failing to uphold filial piety, thus causing the world to fall into chaos. Wars rage between nations, and people suffer. After much thought, I believe the root of the problem lies with your son; he set a bad precedent. Therefore, I have gone to great lengths to find you, to address the root cause of this loss of filial piety and correct the long-standing absence of it in the world."

The doubt in Otsutsuki Kaguya's eyes vanished, replaced by loving gazes as she looked at Shinsei: "I never expected that one of my descendants would be such a sensible child as you. Once you remove the seal outside, I will recover quickly."

"No, Ancestor. You cannot lift the spell yet."

Otsutsuki Kaguya's eyes were filled with doubt again, and even began to look dangerous.

Shinsei quickly explained, "Ancestor, this seal is mainly to prevent your son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, from spying on you. If I break the seal, he will immediately know that you have reappeared and then reseal you. Wouldn't that be even worse? I have been sealed for thousands of years, while your son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, has cultivated for thousands of years. I can't even imagine how powerful he is."

Otsutsuki Kaguya's cheek, and she said in a trembling voice, "It's been thousands of years, and my son still won't let me go?"

"Yes," Shinsei replied, "To prevent you from breaking free of the seal, he had your second son, Hamura Otsutsuki, guard the moon, and also had your two grandsons Asura and Indra, reincarnate in the world, constantly searching for news of you."

The sorrow on Otsutsuki Kaguya's face deepened.

After a moment, she asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why do I sense the power of Asura and Indra within your spiritual energy?"

"Oh no!" Shinsei skipped a beat. Naruto and Sasuke's mental energy was also supporting Shinsei at this moment, and he realized that his lie had slipped up in a moment of carelessness. However, he quickly recovered and continued, "Ancestor, the reincarnated Indra and Asura are not yet grown up. I took advantage of their youth to bring them into our camp. In fact, they have been reincarnating endlessly just to search for news of you, and they are already tired of this kind of life. After all, you are their grandmother, and they don't really want to go against you. You haven't done anything wrong."

Otsutsuki Kaguya nodded; she truly believed she was right. Her two sons had dared to turn against her and imprison her for the sake of those insignificant humans. She was merely trying to deal with the Ōtsutsuki Clan's pursuers.

"Ancestor, I have a brilliant plan to evade Hagoromo Otsutsuki's pursuit."

Otsutsuki Kaguya remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I do not wish to hide. I must go see my son and ask him if he has regretted his actions all these years."

Shinsei said anxiously, "Ancestor, you can't make this choice! Even if you want to ask him yourself, you should wait until you've regained your strength. The current Hagoromo Otsutsuki calls himself the Sage of Six Paths and controls the cycle of reincarnation in the underworld. As a junior, I really don't want the two ancestors, mother and son, to fight each other! And what if your enemies catch up again, and you're still fighting your own son at this time? Wouldn't that just be giving the enemy an advantage?"

Fear appeared on Otsutsuki Kaguya's face. After a long silence, she said slowly, "It's not that I'm afraid of Hagoromo; I simply don't want to fight my own son."

Shinsei said happily, "That's wonderful, Ancestor. I'll make the arrangements right away. Please wait here for a day or two, and I'll take you to a completely safe place. Once you've regained your strength, you can go and confront Hagoromo. But..."

Otsutsuki Kaguya looked over with a puzzled expression. "Just what?"

"But the Ten-Tails ' body is causing too much trouble right now, and I'm afraid your son will come looking for me. I'm no match for him. Ancestor, do you have a way to improve my strength?" Shinsei's eyes were full of expectation, and his gaze towards Otsutsuki Kaguya was full of enthusiasm.

Otsutsuki Kaguya pondered for a moment, then reached out and gathered a ball of Chakra:

"I see that your Chakra is too far removed from my bloodline, and you cannot withstand my power."

This contains my insights into Yin-Yang Release and Kekkei Mōra. If you understand it well, you will see significant improvement.

Shinsei reached out and took the Chakra, Chakra instantly surged into his spiritual power.

In an instant, my mind was filled with a lot of knowledge about Yin-Yang Release and Kekkei Mōra.

Moreover, he discovered that the quality of this Chakra was extremely high, far exceeding that of all the Tailed Beast.

As expected of the Progenitor of Chakra, the strength of this Chakra is the strongest that Shinsei has ever witnessed. This also gave him the goal of continuing to improve the strength of his Chakra.

With this Chakra as a reference, I believe my Chakra strength will once again enter a period of improvement. My sudden inspiration has indeed allowed me to gain some benefits.

Unfortunately, this Progenitor of Chakra is a bit stingy.

If the Sage of Six Paths could instantly boost Naruto and Sasuke's strength, there's no reason why the Progenitor of Chakra couldn't.

Whatever the God Vacuum Attack, the All-Killing Ash Bones, the Truth-Seeking Orb, just give me two of these, I won't be picky.

He didn't believe the nonsense about bloodlines being too distant to withstand the power.

It's mostly due to a lack of trust.

But this is already very good, after all, he is neither his biological son nor his biological grandson.

"Thank you, Ancestor! I'll go prepare to move you to a safe place right away."

With a wave of his hand, Shinsei changed the scene and reappeared above the head of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Without hesitation, he immediately formed a hand Hand Seals and left.

I wonder if Otsutsuki Kaguya can see outside right now, otherwise she might see the barely suppressed smile on her face.
