Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

But that woman... even though she's a bit naive, is she really that easy to fool?

The two brothers were completely baffled.

However, being an elderly person who was nearly a thousand years old, he was quite good at cultivating his temper and quickly brought it under control.

The main issue is that neither of them really has the right to get involved in this matter.

I just have this strange feeling in my heart.

This relationship is too complicated.

"Sigh~ Take me to find Naruto and Sasuke, so that they can obtain their own power sooner, and at least have some protection sooner."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki snapped out of his reverie and got down to business.

"no problem."

Shirokumo Aoba smiled and placed his hand on Hagoromo Otsutsuki's shoulder, but then he thought of something else and paused before asking, "By the way, if you guys were to break the seal yourselves, you wouldn't need the Tailed Beasts, right?"

In the original story, Kaguya Otsutsuki's emergence wasn't actually the breaking of the seal. Rather, she was resurrected by Madara Uchiha after fusing with the Ten-Tails and filling her with chakra.

They are fundamentally different.

Now that Hagoromo Otsutsuki is breaking the seal, this step should be unnecessary.

"No, that's not necessary."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki nodded as well.

This seal was set up by him and Hamura, so naturally there is a way to break it.

"However, since you've brought this up, I still have to advise you not to let her fuse with the tailed beast."

"The Ten-Tails, born from the fusion of the Tailed Beasts, has power that can influence a person's personality and is prone to going berserk. That's why I divided its chakra into nine parts."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki said solemnly, "If she were to merge with it, the tragedy of the past might very well repeat itself."

"Um……"

Shirokumo Aoba did not refute this point, after all, Kaguya Otsutsuki was quite peaceful in the sealed space, not at all like a major villain.

but……

"Speaking of which, do you know why Kaguya did those things in the first place?"

Baiyun Qingye asked the two of them.

"reason?"

The Otsutsuki brothers were both taken aback for a moment, then replied, "To reclaim and monopolize chakra, and then use genjutsu to control everyone and establish a dictatorial rule?"

"I'd say it's half right."

Baiyun Qingye nodded.

Kaguya Otsutsuki did indeed want to reclaim her chakra, but to think she could rule as a dictator is overestimating her intelligence.

However, the daimyo of the ninja world are generally not very intelligent or capable. Given that Kaguya Otsutsuki is such a reticent person who never says anything, it is normal for Hagoromo Otsutsuki to have such suspicions.

"Half right? Could there be another reason?"

Both Hagoromo and Hamura were taken aback, naturally understanding the meaning behind each other's words.

"Well, this involves Kaguya's identity. There are some unspeakable reasons on her part. Let her explain to you after she comes out."

"identity?"

Both brothers knew that Kaguya Otsutsuki actually came from outside the ninja world.

This wasn't exactly a secret at the time.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be called the Goddess of the Rabbit.

After all, not to mention chakra, which didn't even exist before the other party arrived, there's also the fact that the other party is immortal and indestructible, clearly indicating that they are not a local.

Even he and Hamura, his two sons, didn't possess that kind of power; they could only maintain their souls' immortality through special methods.

That's all they know.

I know nothing else.

Kaguya Otsutsuki never told them about her identity or origins.

But to their surprise, Bai Yun Qingye already knew something that even they, as his own sons, didn't know—

How long have they known each other?

Why do I have this inexplicable feeling of unease?

However, seeing that Bai Yun Qingye did not intend to tell them now, the two brothers, though curious, wisely refrained from asking further questions.

"Alright, then I'll take you to find Naruto and Sasuke."

Seeing this, Shirokumo Aoba spoke to Otsutsuki Hagoromo while simultaneously sensing the locations of Naruto and Sasuke in the ninja world.

With his current sensory abilities, directly sensing the Flying Thunder God Mark of the ninja world on the moon is not a difficult task for him.

"Let's go."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki nodded as well.

Shirokumo Aoba then stopped lingering, and with Otsutsuki Hagoromo in tow, they vanished from the spot in a flash.

When they reappeared, they were already in a training ground with a barrier on the outskirts of Konoha.

A fierce battle was raging on the training ground at that moment.

A figure enveloped in air currents and another enveloped in lightning were locked in a fierce battle in the air.

It's obviously Naruto and Sasuke.

The two had long been sparring and training with each other as a routine.

However, their sparring might be a bit unusual. If they didn't activate the barrier, the surrounding area would probably be completely overrun by them.

"Aoba!"

The two who were in the midst of their confrontation quickly noticed the sudden appearance of Shirakumo Aoba and Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

They all stopped what they were doing.

Naruto, who was still using the Eight Gates, appeared directly in front of the two of them in a flash.

"Well--!"

Naruto had barely regained his footing when he clutched his stomach and bent over, his chakra momentarily disrupted.

"what happened?"

Bai Yunqingye asked in confusion.

"Hmm...it seems like that big fox suddenly started causing trouble."

Naruto scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

"The Nine-Tails..."

Bai Yunqingye glanced at the old man beside her and immediately understood.

Chapter 842 The Uchiha clan was never inferior to anyone throughout their lives.

"A big fox? Could it be that Kurama is being disobedient?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki naturally noticed the situation on Naruto and smiled kindly. "It seems you know I'm here."

"Nine Lamas? Who's that? Are you talking about the Great Fox?"

Naruto looked bewildered, not understanding what the strange old man meant by Kurama.

The Nine-Tails was subdued by Shirokumo Aoba through direct force, which is why it agreed to cooperate and provide chakra to Naruto.

Although Naruto and Kurama have gotten along quite well over the past few years, Kurama has also begun to acknowledge this relationship.

However, it still lacks the shared belief in fighting a common enemy when facing life-or-death crises, as in the original storyline, so it cannot truly achieve a heart-to-heart connection.

There's definitely no way I'd tell Naruto a name like Kurama.

Even tailed beasts have their pride.

There's nothing we can do about this.

After all, whether it was the Akatsuki, Obito Uchiha, or Madara Uchiha, these beings who posed a threat to the Tailed Beasts were all dealt with by Aoba Shirakumo before they even had a chance to make a move against Naruto and Kurama.

"Kurama is the name of the nine-tailed fox. I was the one who named him."

When Hagoromo Otsutsuki heard Naruto's question, he naturally nodded happily.

"He really liked this name back then."

"Huh?"

Naruto was startled upon hearing this.

Immediately afterwards, she felt that the Nine-Tails, which had been making a fuss inside her, had calmed down and seemed to be very docile.

This reaction surprised Naruto.

Do you agree with what this old man said?

Then, his gaze toward Hagoromo Otsutsuki took on a strange gleam.

"Grandpa, are you and the big fox on good terms?"

"Haha, it's really good."

When Hagoromo Otsutsuki heard Naruto's question, he couldn't help but recall some memories of the past. When he left, Kurama was the one who cried the most.

In a short time, his mood, which had been quite bad due to the repeated provocations from Baiyun Qingye, improved considerably.

"Amazing!"

Naruto was genuinely amazed.

Hearing the praise, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's smile naturally became even warmer.

Although it was just a wisp of chakra, it was still like half a son to him.
