"How ironic."
A moment later, Kaguya recovered, and she once again returned to her indifferent demeanor.
"Not only did he seal me, but he didn't even spare Indra and Asura. He truly lives up to his name."
"?"
Takemi was stunned. He didn't seem to have said it in that direction, did he?
"And, he kept saying he wanted to protect everyone, but in the end, the method he used was even more cruel than mine."
However, before Takemi could speak, Kaguya continued coldly, "A thousand years of war, I can't imagine how many people would die, how many would suffer endless pain, but even I have to admire his ruthlessness."
"…"
"However, this thousand years of war honed the will of these lower-class beings, cultivated their fighting spirit and willpower, and equipped them with countless combat techniques."
"…"
"It's just that he didn't really win. If what you said is true, the biggest variable is only you, you, this Ōtsutsuki who was born again for some unknown reason."
"…"
Takemi was speechless at this moment. He hadn't added any embellishments, yet the final result still led to this conclusion.
If he hadn't read the original work, he would have doubted whether the Sage of Six Paths really thought that way.
Moreover, he also noticed Kaguya's choice of words. It was clear that she didn't completely believe him. However, this was probably normal.
Even if she was a naive and sweet person, she couldn't completely trust an outsider Ōtsutsuki.
"Although I think your conjecture is a bit extreme, it's up to you what you think. I've also learned what I wanted to know."
Takemi calmly shook his head. He had already determined Kaguya's attitude. Therefore, he could proceed to the next step.
"Now you can rest assured, I won't kill you. After all, your two sons are still alive, and besides that, I also need your help."
"Help?"
Kaguya frowned, and Takemi directly said, "That's right, and there are some things I need your experience to help with."
"Help…"
Kaguya's eyes widened slightly. She was thinking about what kind of help, but Takemi didn't wait for her.
"That's right. Besides that, I think you can also realize your value."
"You mean…"
"Don't you long to see your two children? Do you want to be sealed here forever?"
"…"
"Or, do you hope that for the sake of this world, I treat you like Urashiki, refining you into a pill to become my nourishment?"
Speaking of this, Takemi paused. Looking at the silent Kaguya, he changed his tone and continued, "In some sense, we are natural allies, but the premise is that you need to change your way of thinking."
"Of course, I know you don't trust me yet, but that doesn't matter."
"I won't forcibly break this seal, but I can take some of your Chakra out…"
"This way, you can use that Chakra to truly see this world again."
"And you can also see if what I said is true…"
At this point, Takemi stopped talking nonsense.
Looking at the silent Kaguya, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, 'At the same time, you can also use your experience to help me plant trees…'
In the Pure Land, the Six Paths brothers quietly watched the scene reflected in the sky, and finally sighed at each other.
"This child, he really is…"
Takemi guessed correctly. The Six Paths brothers had indeed noticed something was wrong long ago. They really didn't expect Takemi to progress so quickly, and even find their mother's seal so fast.
And more importantly, he actually ran straight in?
To be honest, at that moment, they were stunned. They knew their mother's abilities too well. But at the same time, they also knew how terrifying this boy, Takemi, was.
They were really afraid that this kid would impulsively treat their mother as 'prey' and kill her. But now it seemed that Takemi was calmer than expected, and also had ideas they had never had.
"Big brother, do you think this is really reliable?"
After a while, Hamura, who was originally still a bit playful, became serious.
"Mother was very resolute back then."
"I don't know either."
Hagoromo was full of helplessness. Takemi had touched their 'bottom line' this time. However, the consequences led by this 'bottom line' seemed to be different from what they had imagined.
"Sealing mother back then, in some sense, was indeed due to a conflict with mother's ideals and will, but Takemi, he…"
"He seems to want to forcibly shatter mother's perception."
Hamura understood what his elder brother meant, which made Hagoromo nod helplessly.
"Yes, how easy is that?"
If it were truly easy, there wouldn't have been such a great war back then. But now that it had come to this point, he himself was confused.
"How about we just watch for now…"
Just as Hagoromo was confused, Hamura pondered for a moment before speaking, which made Hagoromo a little puzzled.
"Just watching?"
"Besides that, what other way is there? To warn him?"
"This…"
"Anyway, mother hasn't come out, and even if she does, he won't be afraid."
"That's what I'm most afraid of."
"Since that's the case, why don't we see what he'll do?"
At this point, Hamura paused, then looked back at the scene displayed in the sky.
"Actually, I know this isn't good, but I also really want to see how far this child can go, and whether mother will change."
"You really are carefree…"
Hagoromo rubbed his brow, still deep in thought, but Hamura laughed.
"Didn't you say to believe in the power of the younger generation? Don't you want to see what changes mother will ultimately undergo?"
"I…"
Hagoromo was a little speechless, but Hamura's expression suddenly became a little strange at this moment.
"Or, was mother right?"
"…"
"You really are that kind of…"
"Shut up!"
Hagoromo roughly interrupted his younger brother, then he also looked towards the sky. After a while, he finally shook his head.
Actually, deep down, perhaps he also wanted to see…
In the Ninja World, inside the Akatsuki's base.
Isshiki constantly used his power to search for and awaken Urashiki's Karma. He had been trying hard ever since he sensed it.
"Why is there no result? Is he sleeping too deeply?"
However, he had tried for a long time without any results, which even gave him a headache.
"Hmm?"
However, just as he was feeling annoyed, he suddenly sensed something.
"Urashiki's side has responded?!"
This immediately made him happy, and then he quickly established a Chakra channel following the response.
In an instant, his Chakra intertwined with Urashiki's faint Chakra. Their consciousness slowly entered a virtual space.
"Urashiki, long time no…"
When their bodies slowly appeared, Isshiki took the initiative to greet him.
But before he could finish his sentence, the originally somewhat confused Urashiki on the other side instantly changed his expression drastically.
He was so terrified that he subconsciously took a step back, and finally shouted loudly,
"Isshiki?! It's you?! Don't you dare come over here!"
"…"
Isshiki's expression froze at that moment.
