Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: The Outcome

The ocular technique within Hagoromo's Rinnegan was special.

It was a sealing technique he had prepared long beforehand.

Six Paths—Chibaku Tensei.

The ordinary Chibaku Tensei was already an extremely powerful sealing technique, but the jutsu Hagoromo had prepared now was the ultimate version, requiring him to completely exhaust all the Chakra in his body to perform it.

Given such a huge cost, the effect was naturally astonishing; theoretically, the power of this jutsu was enough to recreate a miniature star and seal everything within it.

The reason Hagoromo specifically developed this jutsu was precisely to seal his mother, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

As someone who had consumed the chakra fruit, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya could be considered immortal to some extent.

This immortality might have limits, but given the current strength of Hagoromo and Hamura, it was absolutely impossible to kill her completely.

Therefore, the only way to eliminate this hidden danger was to seal her.

Six Paths—Chibaku Tensei was the cage Hagoromo had prepared for Kaguya; as long as she was sealed, everything could end.

No matter how powerful Kaguya's strength was, it would be impossible for her to break free from the restraints of this jutsu under the suppression of the Hagoromo Brothers.

And now, the opportunity had appeared... "As long as this jutsu is performed, everything will be over..." This thought flashed through Hagoromo's mind, and a faint light flickered in his purple Rinnegan, the technique contained within about to be activated.

However, at this moment, an unexpected event occurred.

In the sky ahead, beside Kaguya, Minamikawa Yuu suddenly appeared.

He stood beside Kaguya, gently reached out, and embraced her, smiling as he looked at the two children in front of him.

"Father!"

Seeing the scene before them, Hagoromo and Hamura's expressions instantly changed drastically.

A look of deep hesitation appeared on Hagoromo's face. He remained rooted to the spot for a moment, falling into a state of paralysis.

At this moment, the emotions in his mind were complex, and he thought of many things.

"Father, did you even think of this?"

Finally, he let out a long sigh and ultimately chose not to strike.

Striking Kaguya was different from striking Minamikawa Yuu.

For the Hagoromo Brothers, although Kaguya was their mother, she had always been aloof. To save the world, they felt little burden in moving against her.

But Minamikawa Yuu was different.

This was their father, who had always approved of the path they walked, and was the person they respected and admired the most.

It was absolutely impossible for them to move against their own father.

"Father, are you unwilling to let us strike Mother, even resorting to this method?"

Beside him, the same thought flashed through Hamura's mind. He also let out a long sigh and abandoned the plan to strike.

The two of them withdrew from Sage Mode, returned to normal, and walked up to Minamikawa Yuu and Kaguya.

Beside him, Kaguya looked at the approaching Hagoromo Brothers, a fierce look flashing in her Byakugan, still intent on fighting.

Minamikawa Yuu quickly grabbed her hand, shook his head at her, and stopped her from taking any further action.

"Since things have reached this point, let's stop here."

He looked at Kaguya in front of him and spoke softly, "Have you forgotten our previous agreement?"

Minamikawa Yuu's words reminded Kaguya.

Previously, she had an agreement with Minamikawa Yuu: if she was proven not to be a match for Hagoromo and Hamura, she would obediently listen afterward and not interfere with anything on her own.

And now, it was clearly time for that agreement to be fulfilled.

No matter how proud she was before, facing the reality now, she truly had to admit that she was not a match for the Hagoromo Brothers.

In terms of strength, neither of them was weaker than her, only slightly inferior in the quality and quantity of their Chakra.

But their mastery of Natural Energy perfectly compensated for this, allowing the power they could unleash to be no less than Kaguya's, reaching this current level.

She looked at Hagoromo and Hamura in front of her, then at Minamikawa Yuu beside her, who was smiling and watching her. Finally, she gave up on resisting and did nothing further.

Only then did Minamikawa Yuu breathe a sigh of relief.

It's good that she can recognize reality; at least she knows how to concede.

What he feared was someone who, despite being weaker, refused to yield and insisted on fighting to the bitter end.

In that case, even Minamikawa Yuu would be helpless.

After all, he couldn't just watch Kaguya drain this world dry.

In his eyes, the value of this world was, by all means, greater than that of a single chakra fruit.

As long as the world existed, Natural Energy would continuously be born, capable of nurturing many chakra fruits; there was no need to rush.

Of course, the main reason Kaguya was so anxious, apart from dealing with future Ōtsutsuki enemies, was primarily for Minamikawa Yuu.

As the power of the Kāma continuously merged with him, his physical condition was deteriorating. If this continued, something bad would happen sooner or later.

Kaguya noticed this point, which is why she became anxious.

But Minamikawa Yuu knew that her anxiety was meaningless.

The time for his current reincarnation was up; even if the chakra fruit were ripe now, it wouldn't be able to keep him.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, it was obvious that the chakra fruit still needed a long time to ripen.

Precisely because of this, he deliberately arranged this meeting, prematurely igniting the conflict between Hagoromo, Hamura, and Kaguya.

With him here, there would at least be some room for maneuver.

"Stop now."

He waved at Hagoromo and Hamura, his demeanor gentle, just as always.

Hagoromo and Hamura hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to step forward and follow Minamikawa Yuu away from the place.

They returned to the palace, where they were met by Indra and Ashura.

"Father!"

Ashura rushed forward first, his face looking quite excited: "Were you guys just fighting with Grandma? That was amazing!"

His face was full of excitement and admiration; he simply thought Kaguya and the Hagoromo Brothers were sparring, and he envied their strength.

Indra, on the other hand, was much more perceptive and had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

But he didn't say much, just stood silently to the side, watching the group with a slightly nervous expression.

"Yes."

Minamikawa Yuu smiled and stepped forward, patting Indra and Ashura on the head, saying softly, "Your father and uncle just sparred with your grandmother, and the commotion seemed a bit loud."

"But it's fine, no one was hurt, so you can rest assured."

He sent the two children away, and then led Hagoromo and the others into the depths of the palace.

"I am leaving."

Minamikawa Yuu looked at Hagoromo and the others in front of him and suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, Hagoromo and the others were immediately astonished, instantly realizing the implication of Minamikawa Yuu's words.

"Father, where are you going?"

Hamura was the first to speak, his face somewhat anxious: "Did we do something wrong?"

"Father, don't abandon us."

Hagoromo also spoke, his expression nervous: "The Land of Ancestors cannot lose your guidance."

Kaguya, standing nearby, did not speak, but she also fixed her gaze upon him, her eyes filled with tension.

Minamikawa Yuu smiled and said, "The Land of Ancestors is already mature now. Whether I am in this country or not makes little difference to most people."

"Furthermore, you have grown up now."

"New trees need enough space to grow strong. If I keep blocking the way, it would be a little too unfair to you who have worked so hard."

"Your current abilities are also enough to put my mind at ease."

He looked at Hagoromo and Hamura in front of him, his eyes filled with deep anticipation.

"Father..."

Meeting Minamikawa Yuu's gaze, both Hagoromo and Hamura were moved, unsure of what to say.

"Kaguya, the same goes for you."

Minamikawa Yuu turned around, looking at his wife who had been by his side for many years, his smile unchanged: "I've been very happy during these years with you, and I'm very fortunate to have met you in this life."

"So, while I'm gone, I hope you live well and get along well with the children."

He held Kaguya's hand and murmured softly, "After all, they are your children. They might sometimes be unsatisfactory, but that is a necessary process they must go through in growing up."

"Don't be sad because of this. Just wait for me to return."

"Yuu..."

Meeting Minamikawa Yuu's gaze, Kaguya opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.
