Hokage: Ryo’s Path
Chapter 554
Otsutsuki Hagoromo was a little hesitant. He didn’t know whether he should talk to Kaguya or not. Or rather, he had no experience of sitting down with his mother and chatting face to face. He didn’t know how to talk about it.
‘Big Brother, there are some things that you better make clear with mother. The two of us have been running away for so many years. It is time to face it.’
While Otsutsuki Hagoromo was hesitating, Otsutsuki Hamura’s voice sounded in Yamanaka Ryo’s mind.
‘Hamura, do you think mother will listen to us?’
‘I don’t know, but if we don’t say it, mother will definitely not know what we are thinking, let alone listen to us.’
After a moment of silence, Otsutsuki Hagoromo agreed.
Seeing that Otsutsuki Hagoromo agreed, Otsutsuki Hamura hurriedly said, ‘Yamanaka Ryo, please stop first!’
Yamanaka Ryo nodded and snapped his fingers. The giant made of snowflakes stopped attacking.
Kaguya was stunned. She looked at Yamanaka Ryo and asked, “Yamanaka Ryo, what are you thinking about again?”
Yamanaka Ryo smiled and pointed to the right side of Kaguya. Kaguya frowned and turned around with vigilance. The two figures she had been thinking about day and night came into view.
In order to meet Kaguya, Hagoromo Brothers also changed their image back to their young appearance. Looking at these two familiar figures, Kaguya instantly became excited.
The three of them looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Otsutsuki Hamura spoke first, “Mother, long time no see.”
When Kaguya heard this, her expression became gentler. She slowly floated to Brother Hagoromo Brothers’ side and reached out her hand to touch them. However, when she got close to the two brothers, Kaguya remembered the scene when they sealed her back then, and her outstretched hand froze in the air.
Kaguya hesitated for a moment and pulled away from the two brothers. She asked with a cold face, “Do you want to seal me again?”
Looking at Kaguya’s actions, the two brothers felt uncomfortable. Otsutsuki Hagoromo quickly said, “No, mother! We don’t mean that. We just want to talk to you.”
“Talk? Talk about what?” Kaguya asked, full of vigilance.
Hagoromo and Hamura looked at each other and said, “We want to know what you have always thought.”
Previously, a descendant of Hamura said that we never understood you and never expressed our thoughts to you. Today, I want to know how you have always looked at this world and how you look at us? Similarly, we will also tell you what we think of you.”
Kaguya looked a little dignified when she heard this. After a long silence, Kaguya said, “All along, my thoughts have never changed, whether it is you or this world… In my opinion, after I ate the fruit of the divine tree, this world should be mine, and the chakra of this world should also be mine. The people of this world should treat me as a god.
Of course, I also have the obligation to protect this world. That’s why I turned the people who resisted me to become White Zetsu. This way, I can punish those people and create an army that can resist Otsutsuki’s clan.
As for you, I have always loved you very much. You are my sons and also the masters of this world.”
Hagoromo Brothers sighed at the same time, and then Otsutsuki Hamura said, “Mother, do you know what we are thinking? We have never thought of becoming the masters of this world…. This world does not belong to us. It belongs to every creature in this world. Mother, you are too greedy.”
Just as Otsutsuki Hamura finished speaking, Otsutsuki Hagoromo continued, “Mother, what made us choose to rebel against you is not just your greed… We were born in this world and grew up together with the people of this world. They are all our friends, and because of one sentence, these people, you turned them into White Zetsu. We pleaded with you, but you never paid any attention to it…
Your stubbornness and rudeness made Hamura, and I feel that you are very distant from us… and your image in our eyes is becoming more and more terrifying. That is why we chose to seal you. This is to save this world and also to give us a chance to help you atone for your sins.”
“Hmph! I did nothing wrong, and I don’t need to atone for my sins. I didn’t believe what Yamanaka Ryo said before. I didn’t expect that you two brothers would really sympathize with a group of ants. You actually think that I was wrong!”
“Is that so? We’ve already made it very clear that this world doesn’t belong to you alone.”
Kaguya didn’t say anything after hearing Hagoromo Brothers’ words. She knew that her thoughts were completely opposite to her sons.
Hagoromo Brothers sighed and gave up on persuading Kaguya.
“Mother, in that case, we still have to use the previous method to seal you. I’m sorry.”
Hearing this, Kaguya’s face became cold, and the chakra in her body also began to boil.
Seeing that the battle was about to start, Yamanaka Ryo teleported to the middle of the three and said, “That, please wait a moment. The three of you, I have a few words to say.”
The three of them looked at Yamanaka Ryo and did not express any objection.
Yamanaka Ryo smiled and said, “Kaguya, just now, in your conversation with the two seniors, you mentioned that this world is yours, so others should respect you, and you have the obligation to protect this world… Does that mean that as long as this world is not yours, you will not ask all the chakra to be concentrated here?”
“What you said is meaningless. I ate the fruit of the divine tree, and this world is already mine.”
Ryo smiled, “I don’t deny that, but this is only based on the premise that you eat the fruit and become the master of this world. You just said that you have the obligation to protect this world when you become the master of this world. What if I fulfill the obligation to protect this world in your place?”
Kaguya understood what Yamanaka Ryo meant. She snorted coldly and said, “Hmph! After all, is said and done, what you mean is that you can protect this world from the hands of the Otsutsuki clan. However, my point of view will not change, and I don’t think you have the ability to do so.”
“How can you know without trying? To be honest, with the current situation, Naruto and Sasuke are enough to seal you. If not for the sake of the Hagoromo Brothers, I wouldn’t have talked so much nonsense with you.”
Kaguya frowned. She knew that Yamanaka Ryo was right, and if she left this space, Naruto, Sasuke, and Yamanaka Ryo would definitely be able to seal her.
Thinking of this, Kaguya secretly sighed and asked, “What do you want?”
Yamanaka Ryo smiled and said, “It’s very simple. We will temporarily stop fighting. Then you tell me the information about Otsutsuki’s clan, and I will help you deal with them. If I can do it, you will obediently give up your crazy ideas and leave the Ninja World.”
“If I can’t do it, I won’t be able to come back at that time. What will happen in the Ninja World is still up to you.”
