Chapter 446 The Soul of Otsutsuki Hamura Appears, the Plan to Kidnap the Otsutsuki Family Begins (4K)

Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra in the ninja world, is the origin of Shippuden in the main world. She is a princess from beyond the heavens, the princess of the Otsutsuki clan, and there is no distinction between the main and branch families. Her existence is the most noble existence in the ninja world. Among the Otsutsuki who appeared in the Boruto era, only Isshiki Otsutsuki could fight her. The others were simply beaten to a pulp by her. Her strength is already at its maximum, but she lacks practical combat experience.

Her divine technique, Ten no Minaka, is a small world she created for herself, containing various environments, much like a backup of the ninja world. It is also the place where she was ultimately sealed in the original work.

This power, like the name 'Amanokinaka' in the Shinto religion of Japan, is undoubtedly the representative of the 'creator god'.

It can be said that even in Boruto, where both the character's setting and combat power have become inconsistent, Kaguya Otsutsuki's prestige remains extremely high and has never been surpassed, because she is a character who truly exists with the status of a creator god.

In fact, if Kaguya Otsutsuki had sufficient combat experience and could have truly utilized her power, Naruto and Sasuke in the original story would have been no match for her and could have been easily defeated.

All I can say is that Kishimoto gave Kaguya Otsutsuki an extremely high level of prestige, making her an unplayable character without weakening her. Her oppressive presence even surpasses the strength of Isshiki Otsutsuki in Boruto, making her a true embodiment of 'rank suppression'.

Therefore, in that final battle, Kaguya Otsutsuki's various suffocatingly stupid actions ultimately led to her own demise, making it a plot-driven death.

Kishimoto probably knew that with such a high level of sophistication, it would be impossible to play the game without making the BOSS's intelligence drop drastically.

Therefore, when facing Kaguya Otsutsuki from the main world, Itachi Uchiha showed her considerable respect and treated her with the utmost care, basically at the same level as he had treated Madara Uchiha in the past.

Moreover, unlike Madara Uchiha, who had Hashirama Senju as a major weakness, Kaguya Otsutsuki, although she had many weaknesses, were not very significant. Therefore, the options for Kaguya Otsutsuki were either to leave her alone and prevent her from ever leaving, or to find a way to get her to join their side, either willingly or unwillingly.

Therefore, Uchiha Itachi prepared a super internet addiction package for Otsutsuki Kaguya—as long as Otsutsuki Kaguya became completely addicted to the world of genjutsu and was given a relatively safe environment where she didn't have to worry about external threats, then given Otsutsuki Kaguya's personality, she wouldn't insist on planting the Divine Tree and binding everyone to it to transform them into White Zetsu.

To achieve this effect, it is necessary to bring Kaguya Otsutsuki into the mental network world.

In the past, Uchiha Itachi wouldn't have been able to do this, but now he has awakened the Rinnegan and has reached the moon, giving the super signal generator a real purpose. It can be said that all the necessary elements are in place.

If we don't do it now that we've come this far, it would be a disservice to all the conditions we've worked so hard to achieve!
Uchiha Itachi directly used 'Divine Descent' on White Zetsu, instantly bringing his consciousness into the body of the White Zetsu who had found Kaguya Otsutsuki. This White Zetsu was extremely excited, even fanatical, calling out Itachi's name. He seemed to be a fanatical believer possessed by his god, and his main goal was to sacrifice himself to express his supreme devotion to his god.

Uchiha Itachi was already used to this. After all, White Zetsu and such things were really abstract, especially after they created a faith targeting Uchiha Itachi, which made it even more abstract. It made him feel that the art style was turning into the Warhammer world next door.

Fortunately, White Zetsu is still just White Zetsu, and it won't turn everyone in the ninja world into someone else's character. The special nature of the White Zetsu also means that their fanatical faith is actually a good thing, and it is more conducive to Uchiha Itachi using the 'Divine Descent' technique to possess the White Zetsu. Therefore, he did not stop it.

After successfully possessing this White Zetsu, the White Zetsu not only retained its muscular physique, but its eyes also transformed into Uchiha Itachi's Rinnegan, becoming a Rinnegan White Zetsu.

Furthermore, Uchiha Itachi immediately saw Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was sealed away, through White Zetsu's special vision.

This progenitor of chakra in the ninja world slept like Sleeping Beauty in a transparent cocoon. Powerful chakra enveloped her, and the sealing power composed of the Six Paths bound her, keeping her in a state of slumber, completely unaware of the outside world.

However, although the powerful seal kept her asleep and bound, it also protected her, ensuring that the seal could not be shaken by forces below the sixth level.

Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi wasn't trying to break the seal; he only wanted to pull Otsutsuki Kaguya into the genjutsu world. And since pulling her into the genjutsu world required eye contact, Uchiha Itachi felt he could find a different way to achieve this this time.

Now, the person who can provide a solution has appeared because of the connection between Uchiha Itachi's consciousness possessing White Zetsu and the Rinnegan.

"Hamura Otsutsuki, the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths."

Uchiha Itachi saw the Otsutsuki Hamura spirit that suddenly appeared and was looking at him with a solemn expression through the White Zetsu's vision, and he was not surprised by it.

After all, the reason why Hamura Otsutsuki came to the moon was to accompany and protect his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki. His special relationship with the Sage of Six Paths meant that his soul would not 'die' with his body after death, so it was normal for him to stay by Kaguya's side.

In the original work, this Otsutsuki Hamura appeared after the final battle between Uzumaki Naruto and Otsutsuki Toneri, so encountering him now is not strange.

In fact, its appearance was within Uchiha Itachi's expectations, and he was even full of anticipation for it.

Therefore, Uchiha Itachi smiled directly at Otsutsuki Hamura and said, "Hello, Otsutsuki Hamura-senpai. As I suspected, you are indeed by the side of the progenitor Otsutsuki Kaguya."

Hamura Otsutsuki stared at Itachi Uchiha with a serious and cautious expression. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that the White Zetsu in front of him was not what it appeared to be, and that its consciousness belonged to another person.

"The Rinnegan... Is it your brother's descendant? I never imagined that after a thousand years, someone would still be able to awaken the Rinnegan... So, it was you who summoned the Ten-Tails' body to the ninja world?"

What he was referring to was the Gedo Mazo, the thing that could be summoned by the initial summoning technique of the Rinnegan. After Madara Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan, he summoned the Gedo Mazo from the moon to the ninja world. This thing had always been guarded by the Otsutsuki clan on the moon. At that time, the disappearance of the Gedo Mazo caused a period of chaos in the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, and it was also the fuse for the later internal strife in the Otsutsuki clan on the moon.

Hamura Otsutsuki was aware of this matter, but since he considered himself a dead man and it was inconvenient for him to interfere in the affairs of the living, and he also had to protect his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, he only knew about it.

That's why Hamura Otsutsuki believed that the Gedo Mazo was summoned away by Itachi Uchiha.

In response, Uchiha Kei shook his head and said, "No, Hamura-senpai, I didn't summon the Gedo Mazo. In fact, I only awakened my Rinnegan a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, Hamura Otsutsuki's face showed obvious astonishment: "You mean, there are other people who have also awakened the Rinnegan? This... how could this be? In the thousand years since my brother, there have actually been multiple descendants of my brother who have awakened the Rinnegan?" He was genuinely shocked. After all, even the sons of the Sage of Six Paths had not been able to awaken the Rinnegan, and no one had ever done so in the past thousand years. Yet, in this era, two people had awakened the Rinnegan one after another. It was simply too comprehensible.

However, because of this, Ōtsutsuki Hamura realized that this might be the era of change that his brother had once mentioned, an era that was bound to come in the future.

Yes, it has been over a thousand years. The era of change has arrived, but we don't know whether this change will be good or bad.

Thinking of this, Otsutsuki Hamura stared at Uchiha Itachi and asked, "So, what brings you here? You know who is sleeping here, so you should also know how dangerous it is. If Mother leaves the seal, a catastrophe will befall the ninja world."

Uchiha Kei shook his head: "No, you're wrong, Hamura-senpai. You should say that even if Kaguya, the progenitor, didn't come out, the end of the ninja world would have come sooner or later."

Hamura Otsutsuki was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"

Uchiha Kei said slowly, "Hamura-senpai, as you know, Kaguya was a goddess from beyond the heavens, a princess of the Otsutsuki clan. Given this identity, do you really believe that Kaguya was unique? Do you think that her clan members, other Otsutsuki, wouldn't come to the ninja world?"

These words stunned Hamura Otsutsuki. He was genuinely bewildered because he had never considered this question before.

It's not because I'm not smart, it's because of my cognition.

In that ancient era, everything was truly understood according to mythology. In the hearts of the Rokudo brothers, their mother was a goddess descended to earth, an undisputed deity. The identity of the goddess of the rabbit was also the two brothers' clear understanding of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Therefore, the two brothers never considered that the so-called Otsutsuki might actually be an alien race. Moreover, even if their mother and other members of the God race existed, not a single one had come over in a thousand years, so Otsutsuki Hamura's understanding of this matter faded.

As can be seen in the original work, after successfully sealing their mother into the Amanokamika-Shiki-kyuu space, which is inaccessible to outsiders, the Sage of Six Paths brothers completely withdrew from the story after resolving their concerns and last wishes, and disappeared from the stage. They have not appeared in Boruto since.

This shows that these two brothers really lacked this kind of knowledge. Although they were awesome, their common sense was at a primitive level. Even though they possessed immense power, they understood everything according to mythology.

Of course, this was actually the core setting and understanding of the Naruto world before Boruto. It wasn't until the Boruto era that aliens were truly as common as dogs, and the fantasy story directly shifted towards the American comic book science fiction style.

Now, from the words of the mysterious junior controlling the White Zetsu's body, Ōtsutsuki Hamura realized the possibility of something like a horror story.

Upon regaining his senses, Otsutsuki Hamura asked, "What exactly happened, junior?"

Uchiha Kei said, "There's a lot of information. If you want to know more, Hamura-senpai, you'll have to come with me into my genjutsu world. Only when we get there can I quickly tell you all the information."

"So, Hamura-senpai, are you willing to trust me?"

Upon hearing this, Otsutsuki Hamura fell silent. He understood what Uchiha Itachi meant: to make him unable to resist, to follow Uchiha Itachi's will, and to accept Uchiha Itachi's use of genjutsu on him.

It can be said that this allowed Hamura Otsutsuki to safely entrust his soul to Itachi Uchiha.

Can one place such trust in a mysterious junior they've just met?

Therefore, Hamura Otsutsuki hesitated.

However, Hamura Otsutsuki quickly decided to put aside his hesitation, because he wanted to know the truth. His desire to protect the ninja world and his worries made him eager to understand everything.

Moreover, even if it was just his soul, Hamura Otsutsuki believed in his own strength. Even if the junior in front of him was mysterious and possessed the Rinnegan, it was not enough to trap him in the world of genjutsu forever. If he wanted to, he could still break free from the shackles of the genjutsu world.

Yes, this is the bug where Otsutsuki Hamura doesn't understand Uchiha Itachi's genjutsu at all. It's a genjutsu directly enhanced by the system's skills. Once you enter, it's impossible to leave the genjutsu world without Uchiha Itachi's permission. You can only be controlled by him.

Therefore, once inside, Hamura Otsutsuki will have no say in what outcome he desires.

Of course, if the negotiations go smoothly, Uchiha Itachi will not use any coercive measures. He will give due respect to these predecessors who are the source of his bloodline.

As for the actions of the Sage of Six Paths brothers that seem utterly absurd to modern people, Uchiha Itachi felt they were just so-so. After all, the Sage of Six Paths brothers of that era were truly people who practiced their ideals in a barbaric age where philosophy and cognition were blank. They may have made many mistakes, or even left behind many problems, but that's because they had to figure everything out themselves. In that era, they were pioneers who went from 0 to 1. They themselves didn't know if what they were doing was right or wrong, and could only explore and create slowly, so it was inevitable that various problems would arise.

Expecting a group of pioneers to solve everything is less reasonable than simply worshipping gods—at least some gods can truly solve all problems, but in that case, humans would just be pets kept by the gods.

Thus, Hamura Otsutsuki quickly completed the process of entering the genjutsu world by making eye contact with Itachi Uchiha using his Rinnegan.

In an instant, Hagoromo Otsutsuki felt the world spinning and the sun and moon turning upside down.

When he came to his senses, Otsutsuki Hamura found himself in another place, and a strange yet familiar feeling welled up in his heart, causing him to look down in surprise and raise his hands to look sharply.

Because at that very moment, Ōtsutsuki Hamura felt a physical body again, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a thousand years!
That was the feeling of being alive, incredibly real!
