Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Bigger Picture Unfolds!
On the moon.
Hyuga Hitoshi held Otsutsuki Hamura's ashes, standing on a cliff, gazing at the distant Earth.
The Earth was beautiful, and the ninja world was just a part of it.
Hyuga Hitoshi wasn't sure what lay beyond the ninja world, but he vaguely felt that his existence might be to perfect this incomplete worldview.
But he didn't have the strength for that yet, so there was no point in thinking too much.
After a brief conversation, Hyuga Hitoshi learned some things from Otsutsuki Hamura that he already knew.
For example, after sealing their mother a thousand years ago, Rikudou Sennin traveled the world in penance, spreading chakra to every corner and founding the ninja sect.
Otsutsuki Hamura also came to the moon out of "guilt," saying he was accompanying but actually monitoring his mother and Gedo Mazo until his life force was exhausted.
The brothers were of the same nature. One, after dying, laid out plans for the entire ninja world, trying to create a sustainable world according to a script.
The other, after dying, continued to contribute his remaining soul to sealing their mother.
Of course, these old issues weren't worth focusing on.
So Hyuga Hitoshi decided to give his ancestor Hamura something different.
With a single hand, he spun Hamura's urn on his finger like a basketball.
While playing with it, Patriarch Hitoshi smiled kindly.
"According to what you said, I have a few questions for you, Hamura ancestor."
"First, it's known that the Divine Tree was planted on Earth before your mother arrived. So who planted the Divine Tree?"
Otsutsuki Hamura: I don't know.
"Second, the old toad clearly stated that chakra was brought by your mother. So where did your mother get it from? The Divine Tree? No, even without the Divine Tree, your mother could still use chakra."
Otsutsuki Hamura: I don't know either.
"Third, since your mother is an alien who descended from the sky, can you be sure she was the only one? Or can you be sure that no other aliens will descend in the future and bring disaster to Earth?"
Otsutsuki Hamura: !!
"Fourth, before your mother was sealed, was she always worried about something? What was the purpose of the Infinite Tsukuyomi she activated and the strange white creatures it created?"
In a brief conversation, Otsutsuki Hamura frowned, realizing he couldn't answer any of these questions.
"Look, you didn't know anything, and you just followed your brother to seal your mother. Why didn't you ask before acting? Maybe she wanted to say something but thought you, as her sons, should unconditionally trust her? So she didn't speak up?"
Hyuga Hitoshi said with a face full of anguish.
"Although the Infinite Tsukuyomi caused great damage to Earth at that time, your mother, the Rabbit Goddess, might have been a bit naive, but at least you should have figured out the reason, right?"
After saying this, Hyuga Hitoshi spread his hands slightly.
"Your mother didn't say anything, and you didn't ask. In the end, the Rabbit Goddess became excessively greedy. Maybe your mother thought that if Earth had problems, you unfilial sons deserved to die, so she didn't bother to explain after acting."
Indeed, this is a possibility!
Are there so many hidden crises on Earth?
It seems that the Gedo Mazo incident wasn't the most serious!
After all, his brother was watching over the ninja world. Before he came to the moon, his brother said he would arrange an ideal script for the ninja world, so he shouldn't worry and just focus on monitoring their mother.
But if the enemy is at their mother's level, his brother's script might not work. Can he handle it then?
Thinking of this, Otsutsuki Hamura looked at Hyuga Hitoshi with even more eagerness. The descendants of the old man are indeed impressive and smart!
But Hitoshi's looked troubled.
"Don't expect anything from me . My strength is limited and can't help."
"Moreover, if I stands out too much, it might disrupt your brother's plans. What if he gets upset? I can't go against him, right? After all, he's your brother."
This is indeed a problem.
Damn, why does this kid's words have an inexplicable convincing power?
Hamura frowned but gradually became determined.
"If it really comes to that, you can ask him to put away his script. The ninja world has been under his control for a thousand years, but I can smell the stench from the moon."
"Maybe the ninja world doesn't need a script. Letting it develop freely might be the best."
But I can't beat him.
Hyuga Hitoshi raised his eyebrows, hinting continuously.
The Sage of Six Paths even gave Naruto and Sasuke power-ups. Shouldn't this Patriarch's excellent descendants get some help too?
Why work without pay?
Thinking of this, Hyuga Hitoshi sighed again, muttering something about "no capable subordinates, his peers took the wrong path, someone needs to guide them."
Then he continued to mumble, "My eyes have been acting strange lately. Hamura-senpai should know what's going on, right?"
Such words made Otsutsuki Hamura feel a bit disgusted. This guy was here to drain him, not only eyeing his clan but also wanting to gain real power.
But it seems he has no choice? He had been watching the moon, and several hundred years ago, he often met his mother's mocking gaze. Considering the issues this man mentioned, he couldn't help but think more.
Ignoring the mumbling man, Hamura sighed slightly, gently manipulating his soul power, and began to brew something.
Meanwhile, Hyuga Hitoshi didn't stop mumbling, secretly observing Hamura-senpai's expression.
Honestly, after meeting Hamura, his perspective broadened instantly.
Destroying the branch and main families of the Otsutsuki clan.
It's not difficult; just use their conflicts a bit, and it can be done.
But Hyuga Hitoshi is considering the practical significance.
From a human-centered perspective, why not have Hyuga Hitoshi step forward and recruit all these Otsutsuki?
After all, once Hyuga fully develops and rules the ninja world, manpower will be needed in all aspects. Aren't these Otsutsuki ready-made human resources?
As for these people not dying, how to create the Golden Wheel Tenseigan that can control the moon.
It depends on whether the Hamura brothers are up to the task.
Whether it's the Golden Wheel Tenseigan or the purple Tenseigan used during the branch family's rebellion, they are all assembled using Byakugan.
But the Otsutsuki clan has been on the moon for over a thousand years; it's impossible that they destroyed all the Byakugan of their deceased clan members, right?
They don't have the Caged Bird to restrain the branch family, and the main family isn't just one branch. With so many clan members over such a long time, the accumulated Byakugan is definitely enough to create the Golden Wheel Tenseigan, and the quantity is so large that it might even create a stronger ultimate weapon than in the original movie.
This is probably Otsutsuki Hamura's ultimate backup plan.
A man who could fight alongside his brother against Kaguya must have extraordinary strength.
Finally,
"The seventh step at the southwest corner of the previous shrine, take this and go there, the secret door will open by itself, and there you will find what you need."
When a token was thrown to Hyuga Hitoshi by Hamura, it meant that a mutually satisfactory deal was successfully completed.
As the token left his body, Hamura's figure became almost transparent.
His gaze towards Hyuga Hitoshi also became more complex.
Just at that moment, as Hamura slightly regained his senses, he suddenly felt this man's ambition.
After all, this kid's attitude changed a bit too quickly; whether there were benefits or not, it was like two different people.
Listen to what he said!
"The descendants of the Sage of Six Paths all have some mental issues. A ninja world established by a group of lunatics is bound to have some problems!"
"As his younger brother, you have an obligation to correct the mistakes, and as the most outstanding descendant, I also have an obligation to correct them. From this point of view, Hamura's foresight is quite good."
"Of course, I personally will not take the radical approach of the branch family but will guide them as a leader. You can watch this slowly."
"Maintaining long-term peace and stability in the ninja world is our duty! We can't let your brother occupy the latrine without doing anything!"
Shut up already...
It's hard to imagine that these words came from his descendant, and Hamura's expression became even more complex.
After finishing his speech, Hyuga Hitoshi gave Otsutsuki Hamura a friendly smile and said that with the salary in place, the Six Paths would be done, and the ninja world would follow their rules, with Otsutsuki Hagoromo stepping aside!
As this historic meeting ended, Hamura's soul body slowly disappeared, leaving only his ethereal voice in the air.
"Let me see your skills, Otsutsuki's new Patriarch!"
Hitoshi watched Hamura disappear, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't scatter Hamura's ashes. Instead, he stored them in his own space-time, just in case he met the Sage of Six Paths in the future, he could pull out his brother as a handy weapon, right?
After finishing everything, he waved his hand towards the universe.
"Farewell, ancestor! The ninja world will remember your contributions!"
