Chapter 1011: Why Does He Want to Meet Mother?
Ninja World, Pure Land.
Inside the ancient main hall at the center of the Shinobi Sect, Otsutsuki Hagoromo sat cross-legged on the cushion.
Beside him was the 'Box of Paradise', its volume restored to a diameter of one meter.
It looked somewhat like a 'Saint Cloth Box', except it was black.
Across from Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
Otsutsuki Hamura, who had returned from the Sea Star Underworld, also sat cross-legged on his own cushion.
Just now, he had spent nearly thirty minutes recounting the experience and the content of their conversation.
There were three main points.
The first and second points were naturally about the Ninja World joining the World Government and establishing the Shinobi Education System.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo nodded repeatedly upon hearing these two points.
From them, he felt the friendly sincerity conveyed by the World Government.
And when he heard that Im was willing to return the souls of ninja who died in other worlds in the future to the Pure Land, he was extremely satisfied, and his favor towards the World Government almost skyrocketed.
"Not bad, not bad. It seems this World Government understands what equality, respect, and mutual interests mean."
As for things like currency unification, legal priority, and the Ministry of Police Affairs taking over the police authority in the Ninja World, Otsutsuki Hagoromo didn't quite understand them, nor did he care.
In his view, as long as the citizens of the Ninja World had stable lives, the number of ninja increased day by day, and the World Government didn't engage in tyranny, that was enough.
Moreover, didn't Hamura secure the interests of reconstructing the Shinobi Sect in the Ninja World?
When the time comes, he can just take over. It saves him from being idle in the Pure Land.
However, Otsutsuki Hagoromo was somewhat hesitant about the World Government's idea of some ninja clan members migrating to live on the Sea Star.
After consideration, he felt it wasn't entirely unacceptable, as long as they didn't take everyone.
Especially the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan.
Because this concerned the Chakra Reincarnation of his two sons.
However, when Otsutsuki Hamura mentioned the third point, which was about Im and the prophecy mentioned by Yama, Otsutsuki Hagoromo's expression immediately became solemn.
Im's clone, Im's means, Im's strength, and the Otsutsuki Clan that Im said would descend upon the Ninja World twenty-three years later - each of these touched his nerves.
Recalling the record of Sakazuki and Kuzan each defeating a Supreme Demon, Otsutsuki Hagoromo increasingly felt that the World Government's depths were unfathomable.
There was just one point he still found somewhat difficult to accept.
All nine Tailed Beasts were going to be taken away?
Although the other party said that in the future, if he had a need, he could apply to the World Government for the Tailed Beasts' assistance.
But what would happen then? Who knew?
This meant that in the future, if he wanted to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki again, he would need the World Government's consent!
And why?
The Tailed Beasts were split from him back then. You, Im, want to take them all just for your collection?
That's too Haki!
But thinking of the Star Gate that Im controlled, the ability to see a thousand years into the past and future, and the ability to sense the aura of the cosmic star sea.
He felt that their Haki wasn't strange at all.
Perhaps the other party truly just wanted to keep the Tailed Beasts as ornamental items to enrich the variety of creatures on the Sea Star?
After all, based on the current information, this Lord Im of the World Government was definitely much stronger than the Mother they had sealed on the Moon.
And if they had such an Expert as a backer.
Then facing the Otsutsuki Clan from outside the stars in the future might not require so much worry?
Twenty-three years later, even if the Otsutsuki people really came, their opponent would most likely not be themselves, but the World Government!
The war between the World Government and the Otsutsuki Civilization!
As for himself and his younger brother, they might truly become insignificant, at most bystanders, in this war...
Thinking this way, giving the Tailed Beasts to the Sea Star didn't seem entirely unacceptable either?
In reality, Otsutsuki Hagoromo was still finding joy in hardship, comforting himself.
What else could the weak do when facing the strong?
Especially when facing an Expert who actively expressed friendliness towards you, would you dare refuse?
It was just that Im wanted to meet Mother, which left Otsutsuki Hagoromo somewhat at a loss.
Was the other party hinting that he should release Mother, or did they truly have the ability to find Mother directly?
When it involved Im and Kaguya, his mindset became somewhat chaotic.
And why did Im want to see Kaguya?
This was also very strange.
If it was curiosity, you could view the Ninja World for a thousand years, so you should already know what Mother looked like and what her abilities were!
Then why do you still want to see Mother?
What do you want to do!
Otsutsuki Hagoromo always felt that something wasn't right here.
"Cough, cough, Hamura, you did very well. As for that Lord Im's... clone, if the other party has an idea, they will naturally come knocking. From now on, we will proceed with normal cooperation. The current problem is finding a method to solve that 'Gate of the Underworld', but with my current ability..."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo spoke of the matter that Void had told him earlier.
Otsutsuki Hamura, sitting cross-legged across from him, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "Spatial Rules?"
Various scenes from his time in the Sea Star Underworld suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo looked at his moved younger brother with doubt.
"Elder Brother, it's like this..."
Otsutsuki Hamura immediately described the Space Gate he had experienced in the Sea Star Underworld.
And the scene where two documents flew out from a Space Rift on the Negotiation Table.
"Are you suspecting that this wasn't the ability of Yama Dean, but rather that of Lord Im's clone?"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo immediately understood his younger brother's meaning.
"Yes, that Lord Im's clone is very likely an existence with extremely high attainment in Spatial Rules. That Star Gate, which can connect two worlds, should be the highest manifestation of their ability."
Otsutsuki Hamura nodded heavily, his gaze very firm.
"Also, I suspect that when I was talking with Yama Dean at the time, he was watching us from another domain!"
This point, he had just thought of as well.
But it was precisely this speculation that made the hairs on his body stand on end, filling him with lingering fear.
As if a massive black shadow enveloped his body and mind.
"What you said makes a lot of sense. If that's the case, then whether the 'Gate of the Underworld' can be completely resolved depends on whether the other party is willing to lend a hand..."
At the same time, Otsutsuki Hagoromo also had another idea in his heart.
He wanted to see if this clone of Im could truly solve the 'Gate of the Underworld'.
If it could, there was nothing more to say.
In the future, when the Ninja World faced the World Government, their attitude must be more proper.
But if it couldn't, then there would be many more things to ponder.
"Hmm?!"
Just then, Otsutsuki Hagoromo's heart trembled. He quickly waved his hand, creating a phantom image screen in front of him.
Otsutsuki Hamura across from him was somewhat confused, but when he saw the image displayed on the screen, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and his eyes widened.
[Boom!!!]
Following a deafening loud noise.
The Uchiha Flame Formation covering the 'Gate of the Underworld' was instantly blasted apart by surging flames.
Immediately, a massive Fire Pillar shot straight into the sky.
At this moment.
Uchiha Fugaku, Ōnoki, Jiraiya, Rasa, and others present on the scene were dumbfounded...
