**Chapter 1007: The Truth of the Gate of the Underworld!**
Otsutsuki Hagoromo, high in the sky, fell into contemplation as he watched the scene below where the World Government's Army Officers and the experts from the Ninja Villages in the Ninja World fought side-by-side, jointly dealing with the demon invasion.
He recalled what his younger brother had said before heading to the Sea Star Netherworld:
The appearance of the World Government might not be a bad thing, neither for the Ninja World nor for us.
Before, Otsutsuki Hagoromo was still somewhat skeptical about this.
He felt that the World Government had disrupted his plan and also messed up his Ninja World.
But now, it seems the World Government might potentially become his aid?
What could he gain from the World Government, and what would he have to pay?
With this question in his heart, Otsutsuki Hagoromo flew to the front of the Funeral Temple.
He used his pair of eerie purple Rinnegan to examine the towering, majestic pyramid, which was entirely yellow sand.
In his eyes, the external appearance wasn't the key; the key was the internal energy circulation.
As mentioned before, the awakening creation of a Logia User essentially constructs a self-circulating natural energy system. Therefore, as long as there is no external destruction, they can exist indefinitely.
For example, Sakazuki's active volcano will continue to erupt, and Kuzan's iceberg will continuously emit cold air.
However, both magma and cold air have a fixed range.
They won't spread outwards endlessly, nor will magma and ice and snow accumulate more and more.
There is also energy consumption during this process.
But they can absorb natural energy from the outside at any time to replenish the consumption.
Thus, there is the saying, 'permanently changed the natural environment'.
Crocodile's Funeral Temple Pyramid, and the quicksand within it that constantly rotates slowly and applies strong oppression to Shinno from all directions, are also like this.
And in Otsutsuki Hagoromo's eyes, this was natural energy circulating, suppressing Shinno, forming a powerful sealing effect.
"The means from the otherworld are truly miraculous. They can utilize natural energy so exquisitely. However, it looks very dangerous inside..."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo, floating in the soul state, clicked his tongue in wonder.
He was referring to the drying rule contained within the sand. It was this rule that was constantly wearing down Shinno's dark chakra.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo thought for a moment.
Then, an initial form of Susanoo appeared on his body.
Immediately, under the protection of this layer of azure energy, he easily slipped into the outer layer of the pyramid, using the penetration property of the soul state.
It was, of course, pitch dark inside. If not for Otsutsuki Hagoromo's high eye configuration, a normal human would definitely be fumbling in the dark.
However, the constantly flowing sand didn't care that he was the Sage of Six Paths. It immediately began to wear down the Susanoo's energy.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo didn't care about this at all; he could afford to consume this much chakra.
In the darkness, the azure figure slowly approached Shinno.
Because he had to constantly resist the pushing force from the quicksand, his speed couldn't increase.
Although he could split open this Funeral Temple and release Shinno before subduing him, he didn't want to destroy this exquisite supernatural creation for now.
A moment later, Otsutsuki Hagoromo arrived near Shinno.
However, Shinno was completely unaware of this, still desperately and unwillingly struggling to resist the surrounding quicksand's erosion and squeezing.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo remained indifferent because he wasn't looking for Shinno, but the demon from the Netherworld inside him, Satori!
【Buzz—】
The next second, an invisible dojutsu power fluctuation emanated from his Rinnegan.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo's consciousness also followed this dojutsu power and entered Shinno's mindscape.
Because 'Satori', like the Tailed Beasts, appears to be inside the Jinchuriki's body, but this 'inside' is not the flesh and blood layer, but the mindscape.
So, if you just cut open a Jinchuriki's stomach, you definitely won't find a Tailed Beast.
One more thing worth mentioning.
Otsutsuki Hamura did not have the Sharingan.
He certainly didn't have the so-called Three Tomoe Mangekyo Sharingan.
Furthermore, his Rinnegan was not awakened later due to stimulation, but was born with it, which also resulted in him not having the Byakugan.
However, the difference between his Rinnegan and that of a pure-blooded Otsutsuki Clan member is that it is purple, not red.
But Otsutsuki Hagoromo could still use Susanoo.
Just like in the canon, Madara Uchiha could use the complete form of Susanoo even in the Rinnegan state.
Therefore, Susanoo is not exclusive to the Mangekyo Sharingan.
It only has two requirements: extreme dojutsu power and vast chakra, which is energy.
Thus, as long as the dojutsu power reaches the so-called 'extreme' level and there is sufficient chakra amount, theoretically, the Tenseigan might also be able to use Susanoo.
Because its essence is the physical manifestation of energy emission.
Basically, the more chakra, the greater the strength and body size of the Susanoo.
For example, Otsutsuki Hagoromo's Susanoo is comparable to the Ten-Tails.
While others, including Madara Uchiha, had Susanoo roughly comparable to the Nine Tailed Beasts.
It is clear that the gap between them is not insignificant, even though he was not the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
A person's mind space, the environment of their spirit world, has a direct relationship with their life state and state of mind in reality.
Just like the Nine-Tails inside Uzumaki Naruto, it initially lived in a sewer environment, but later it became cleaner, and there was no longer flowing water.
And Shinno's mind space.
In Otsutsuki Hagoromo's view, it was more like a dark prison filled with a sense of oppression and confinement, with a layer of messy yellow sand spread on the ground.
As he walked further in.
He saw 'Satori', miniaturized to about two to three meters tall, sitting in a prison cell separated by bars.
And the moment 'Satori' discovered Otsutsuki Hagoromo, it immediately stood up, and the pair of pitch-black wings behind it instinctively spread open.
At the same time, an expression of shock and anger appeared on its Zero-Tails face.
"It's you! It's actually you!!!"
'Satori' certainly recognized Otsutsuki Hagoromo. After all, not long after it mistakenly entered the Ninja World, it was almost killed by him in the Land of Grass and was finally sealed in the Box of Paradise for nearly a thousand years.
"Long time no see. This old man remembers you claiming to be an upper demon back then, Void, right? Then I shall call you by this name from now on."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo's attitude was very gentle, appearing willing to show respect to the other party.
However, Void didn't fall for his act and snorted coldly, "Don't pretend there. I've already guessed why you came to find me!"
"That's excellent. Then, could I ask you to close the Gate of the Underworld?"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo held the Sage's Shakujō in his hand and asked softly.
"You don't need to think about that. I can't do it at all, hahahaha!" Void laughed wildly.
"You might be thinking that since I taught Moryo how to open the Gate of the Underworld, I must also know how to close it. But the fact is, the ones who truly opened the Gate of the Underworld were the two rulers on the first layer, namely the supreme demons Naamah and Lilith!"
"And what Moryo did was just find the spatial rift that was created when I descended back then, which has now become extremely tiny. Then, using the demonic aura and magic array on my flesh and blood, it guided them to perceive the position of this world and used great magic power to tear open the spatial rift again, constructing the Gate of the Underworld!"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo's mood became heavy after patiently listening to Void's somewhat harsh words.
Because Naamah and Lilith were already dead, yet the Gate of the Underworld had not disappeared.
Why was this? And what should be done?
