What did Hagoromo Otsutsuki see?
He saw Kaguya Otsutsuki being pinned to the ground.
Not only were his hands tied behind his back, but he was also bound tightly with fine golden sealing chains.
Kaguya's cheeks were flushed, her large white eyes were filled with tears, her clothes were disheveled, and her hair was like a tangled mess.
What's even more deadly is that although Kaguya Otsutsuki's expression was full of murderous intent, she also seemed to have an undeniable sense of shyness and timidity.
With the goddess's perfect face, anyone could easily have impure thoughts.
Yes, the key point is that Xia Zuo was lying on Kaguya Otsutsuki's back!
His body and the curves of Kaguya Otsutsuki's back overlapped perfectly, leaving no gaps.
Unlike Kaguya Otsutsuki, who remains a virgin and has never experienced sexual relations, Hagoromo Otsutsuki is married and has children, so he understands!
Therefore, the Sage of Six Paths felt as if the sky was about to collapse!
He wanted to kill Xia Zuo, to kill him with his own hands!
Otherwise, it wouldn't be long before the mighty savior, the master of ninja sect, the propagator of chakra, and the creator of the ninja world...
The Sage of Six Paths is about to suddenly have a "stepfather"!
Maybe there will be a bunch of younger brothers and sisters —
Hagoromo Otsutsuki shuddered, utterly unable to accept it.
We must stop him!
But the problem is, how do I get into Amanominaka?
The Sage of Six Paths easily sent Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha inside, but he couldn't get himself inside as well.
It's like an ordinary person who, with simple training, can throw two grenades 15 meters, but can someone jump 15 meters on their own?
The Sage of Six Paths could create two Six Paths-level ninjas at will; his physical size was so immense that he was simply unable to travel through time and space.
No way, does anyone really think he's just a soul left?
In the ninja world, everyone knows that chakra is the result of the mixture of spiritual and physical energy.
For Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra, to break free of her seal, Black Zetsu needed to sacrifice Madara Uchiha's body beforehand for her to succeed.
As Kaguya Otsutsuki's son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki had not yet advanced to the Bloodline Limit, so it was impossible for him to control a massive amount of chakra solely through his mind.
There must be the bodies of the Sage of Six Paths beneath the Pure Land. Perhaps they do not exist as living beings, or perhaps they have already merged with the Pure Land itself, but they definitely exist!
In short, no matter how furious the Sage of Six Paths is now, he can only watch helplessly.
Watching that bastard Xia Zuo grope his mother.
Naruto shook his head and realized that his "mask" was broken. Then he noticed that he had successfully entered an unfamiliar space.
Then he heard the noise ahead, looked up and saw his master fighting with a white-haired woman, and they were using grappling techniques to fight.
Naruto Uzumaki looked at the Fifth Hokage with utter disdain: "Sensei, why are you bullying girls?"
Xia Zuo was almost driven mad by this kid: "You bastard, what are you doing, putting on airs and spouting nonsense? Come and help!"
"Also, bring out Nine-Tailed Buddha!"
"oh."
Naruto Uzumaki ran over excitedly, grinning like a flower: "Hehehe, Master, you have to prepare a gift for me later, or I'll tell Izumi-neechan what I saw."
"what?"
The moment Naruto got his hands on him, the boastful words he was spouting vanished, replaced by a barrage of exclamations of surprise and uncertainty.
Meanwhile, Kurama, who had previously been dismissive, suddenly appeared and offered to drape Naruto in his Tailed Beast Cloak, doing everything in his power to help him.
There was no way around it; Kaguya Otsutsuki's resistance was too strong.
From a distance, it looked like Xia Zuo had pinned the delicate and beautiful Kaguya Otsutsuki down with his body, holding down her hands which were tied behind her back with his left hand, while quickly casting a sealing technique with his right.
But upon closer contact, Naruto and Kurama realized that this was not a delicate woman at all, but rather a volcano about to erupt.
Xiazuo is actually a heavy, stubborn rock that suppresses the crater.
If the volcano's power hadn't been dispersed, preventing a concentrated eruption, this stubborn rock would have been blasted away long ago.
Naruto's assessment of his teacher as a stubborn rock is not meant as a derogatory term, but rather because he felt that compared to his teacher, his own combination with the Nine-Tails was roughly equivalent to a grain of sand.
But even the smallest grain of sand has weight, and piling them up will always be of some use!
It might just be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Sasuke Uchiha was affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi and had his Sharingan forcibly fused with Itachi Uchiha's by the Sage of Six Paths, instantly achieving the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and then immediately advancing to the Rinnegan.
Sasuke's two consecutive promotions placed an excessive burden on him, and he was unable to adapt in any aspect, resulting in him being lucid for much longer than Naruto.
So what he saw when he opened his eyes was: Naruto Uzumaki grabbed Kaguya's long hair, tied her hands tightly, and pressed them firmly to the ground above her head.
The Fifth Hokage, Natsumi, sat on Kaguya's lap, his left hand pressing down on the woman's slender waist, using his weight to suppress her resistance, while his right hand pressed down on her mouth and nose, seemingly trying to smother her until she passed out.
Sasuke Uchiha was deeply shocked: "—What—are you—doing?"
The black-haired young ninja clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling, and his eyes blazing with fire.
The young boy felt an overwhelming urge to kill the two bastards with Chidori. His trusted Hokage and closest friend had done such a despicable thing.
"Sasuke! How can you be even dumber than Naruto?"
The Fifth Hokage, Natsume, glanced at him, a glance that was like a blast of ice and snow, extinguishing all of Sasuke's wild thoughts and burning anger.
"Come quickly and help!"
"oh----"
Sasuke Uchiha ran over and helped Naruto by pressing his hands.
Xia Zuo cursed again: "Idiot, get behind me and hold her legs down!"
"oh----"
Sasuke smiled sheepishly, bowed and ran behind the Hokage, and pressed down on Kaguya Otsutsuki's feet with both hands.
In just one second, the young ninja was almost blasted away. He not only unleashed all his chakra but also used the power of his Rinnegan to barely maintain his balance.
"Tsk!" Xia Zuo complained with great dissatisfaction, "Such a weak Six Paths level, half of his power was used on sealing abilities. That old man, the Sage of Six Paths, is really stingy."
Despite Xia Zuo's complaints, the combined power of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, though only two grains of sand, was truly effective when they pressed down on each other.
A few minutes later, Xia Zuo completed his seal, and Kaguya Otsutsuki was completely bound into a dumpling by the thin sealing chains, unable to struggle any longer.
Even her bright red lips were tightly bound by three golden chains.
Xia Zuo got off Kaguya Otsutsuki and slumped to the ground, wiping his sweat as he said, "Phew, finally done. As expected of Kaguya Otsutsuki, the lord of chakra, she's too difficult to deal with."
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha lay on the ground, panting heavily.
In those few minutes, they were constantly on the verge of collapse, which was more exhausting than fighting for a whole day and night.
Sasuke Uchiha asked, "Fifth Hokage, this seal doesn't seem to be able to hold Kaguya Otsutsuki. Should we use the Sage of Six Paths' sealing techniques to seal her?"
He raised his hand, showing the crescent moon mark on his palm: "You see, as long as we both put our hands on her, everything will be done automatically."
Naruto Uzumaki raised his hand, showing off the sun mark on his palm.
When Kaguya Otsutsuki saw the marks on their hands and sensed the familiar chakra within them, the defiant and dismissive attitude in her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by terror, despair, and pleading.
She was pleading with Xia Zuo that she would never again be sealed in the dark, chakra-free [Planetary Devastation] seal.
Xia Zuo saw the change in her eyes and revealed an evil smile, which made the despair in Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes even more intense, and even a trace of death appeared in them.
But to Kaguya's surprise, Xia Zuo's next words were: "No!"
He reiterated, "Absolutely not!"
The despair and deathly stillness in Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by deep bewilderment.
Naruto Uzumaki didn't understand either: "Sensei, why not?"
Xia Zuo snorted coldly: "Because sealing Kaguya is tantamount to killing her."
"Naruto, do you remember how it felt when you set fire to the Hokage Building and got locked up?"
Naruto Uzumaki shuddered: "I remember, I'll never forget it."
Xia Zuo laughed and said, "You were only locked up for a day, and when you came out your face was covered in snot and tears. This woman was locked up for many years."
"Seal her again, especially in the primordial space within the Heavenly Realm. She will soon die in despair."
Sasuke Uchiha was overjoyed: "Really? The Sage of Six Paths said that Kaguya Otsutsuki was immortal and that we could only seal her. So sealing her is the same as killing her?"
Xia Zuo flicked Sasuke's forehead repeatedly: "Why did you kill her?"
Sasuke Uchiha replied, "The Sage of Six Paths said she is a world-destroying demon, and if we don't stop her, everyone in the ninja world will die."
"6
Xia Zuo stroked his chin: "That makes a lot of sense, but I have a question for you. Now that we've stopped her, why do we still want to kill her?"
Sasuke frowned and said, "But she killed many people a thousand years ago and created White Zetsu."
Xia Zuo asked with a smile, "Five years ago, I stormed into Kirigakure and razed the entire village to the ground in one fell swoop. I don't even know how many people I killed. Am I guilty too?"
Sasuke shook his head and said, "How can this be considered a sin? Fifth Hokage, you did this to protect Konoha Village."
Xia Zuo nodded and said, "You're absolutely right."
"I am the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. For the sake of Konoha, I utterly crushed Kirigakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Amegakure. Of course, that's not my fault; it's my achievement!"
He pointed to the immobilized Kaguya Otsutsuki: "A thousand years ago, Kaguya Otsutsuki was the ruler of the world. No matter how many people she killed, it was not the standard for judging whether she was right or wrong."
"I only care about the trends in the world before and after she was sealed away."
Xia Zuo answered the question himself: "Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed away, so she definitely didn't know what the world was like afterward, but we all do."
"The war in which the Sage of Six Paths defeated and sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki destroyed the entire world, and it took the Sage of Six Paths hundreds of years to barely repair it."
"We don't know how many people died during the destruction of the world, nor do we know whether the number of people who died in this wave was more or less than the number killed by Kaguya before."
"But do you think the responsibility for these people's deaths should lie with Kaguya Otsutsuki, or with the Sage of Six Paths and his brother who started the war and sealed Kaguya away?"
"Ah, this—"
Sasuke was at a loss for words. Such profound social, humanistic, and legal logic was simply too difficult for Sasuke, whose mind was only focused on fighting and becoming stronger.
Xia Zuo asked again, "Sasuke, the Sage of Six Paths repaired the world, founded Ninjutsu, and spread the power of chakra. What did all of this ultimately bring to the world?"
Sasuke Uchiha's mood sombered: "It was the Warring States period, a time of centuries of war."
Xia Zuo shook his head and said, "Look, even the Sage of Six Paths didn't bring us peace and stability, so what right does he have to order us to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki for him?"
"I always emphasize to you, what is the most important premise when you're deciding what to do?"
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha answered in unison, "We stand firm and prioritize our own interests!"
"Very good." Xia Zuo nodded and said, "We are not the moral judges of history, nor are we qualified to seek justice for the dead thousands of years ago."
"But I will never judge everything by the standards of the Sage of Six Paths. My actions will only be for the benefit of myself and Konoha Village."
"My judgment is: not using the Sage of Six Paths' sealing method, and not forcing Kaguya Otsutsuki into a dead end, is advantageous to me and to Konoha Village."
He looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki, whose eyes were filled with tears and gratitude, and asked, "What do you think?"
Naruto and Sasuke both rolled their eyes. Kaguya Otsutsuki wasn't stupid; how could she think the Fifth Hokage was wrong?
Asking her that question is pointless.
Ok?
Upon seeing Kaguya's eyes, the two suddenly understood something and couldn't help but gasp.
The Fifth Hokage—he's so cunning, so despicable, and so—brilliant!
[We're doomed! The teacher/Hokage has a telepathic connection; we're going to die.]
Xia Zuo glanced at the two little ones, then spoke frankly to Kaguya: "I won't hide it from you, my goal is to devour your chakra, and then use that chakra to achieve the status of Bloodline Limit."
"I assure you, I will not drain your chakra, nor will I threaten your life afterward."
"Furthermore, I know that it is painful to extract chakra from an Otsutsuki. As compensation, after I achieve the Bloodline Limit, I will release the Moon's [Planetary Devastation] seal, allowing you to reclaim your original body."
"Do you accept this deal?"
