"So, the Sage of Six Paths is a cruel schemer?" Hashirama frowned, expressing his displeasure.
War!
This was the thing Hashirama detested the most. He had fought since childhood and always wished to end war.
The most crucial point was, according to their words, he and Madara were the Chakra reincarnations of Asura and Indra, which meant he and Madara should be brothers.
This was the most difficult thing for Hashirama to accept. They, brothers, under the manipulation of a hidden force, would turn their blades against each other.
Tobirama snorted, "Big brother, how can you say the Sage of Six Paths is a cruel schemer? He is indeed quite cruel, but all of this is to give the Ninja World the strength to resist the Ōtsutsuki. According to the Sage of Six Paths's brother's records, the Ōtsutsuki are all cold-hearted individuals who wish to destroy the Ninja World. If they came to the Ninja World, what good end do you think the Ninja World would have?"
"Don't forget, it is precisely because of Chakra and a thousand years of war that the strength of ninjas has been able to increase. In the future, there might not be no confidence to resist the Ōtsutsuki."
"Perhaps our current preparations are too early. They might not descend for hundreds or thousands of years, but we must adhere to the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace and taking precautions. It's better to be prepared in advance for unforeseen circumstances."
"Even if the Ōtsutsuki don't descend temporarily, we should be thankful that those methods aren't needed for now, rather than regretting after war breaks out why we didn't work harder to get stronger."
Tobirama continued to speak eloquently, "Although the Sage of Six Paths's actions were a bit cruel, he allowed the Ninja World to achieve long-term development. For this, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his two sons. Although his actions were somewhat inhumane, for the sake of the Ninja World, it is understandable. From his actions, it can be seen that the Ōtsutsuki may truly not value human lives. It's just that he chose to stand on the side of the Ninja World."
Kazuki listened to these words, stunned.
Was Hagoromo really like that?
He remembered Hagoromo taught everyone to have love, right?
But now he has become the mastermind behind the Ninja World's countless wars.
If analyzed carefully, it actually seems quite reasonable.
"Is the Sage of Six Paths ultimately cruel or benevolent?"
Hearing Tobirama's analysis, Hashirama fell into deep thought.
The most shocked wasn't Hashirama or them, but Nine-Tails inside Mito. What it knew was far more than what Tobirama and Hashirama knew. It had never expected there to be such a conspiracy behind this matter.
It really wanted to refute Tobirama's theory. That was the Sage of Six Paths, who was like a father to it. Now that Tobirama and the others were spreading rumors outside, it would be strange if it could accept it.
However, it understood Tobirama very well. This guy could be said to be the brain of Konoha. Many of Konoha's policies were formulated by him.
It could be said that Tobirama was a top-notch politician and a highly intelligent person. The information deduced by such a person who loved schemes and tricks was most likely true.
Could it be that the Sage of Six Paths was really such a person?
"No matter what, as long as it's for the good of the Ninja World, it's good." Kazuki said softly.
He didn't doubt Hagoromo's original purpose, it was definitely for the Ninja World.
Ever since Kaguya received the world's blessing and gave birth to them, they were destined to stand on the side of the Ninja World.
Kazuki had previously been wary of Hagoromo and Hamura, mainly because he was worried that they would treat the Ninja World as their own territory and not allow others to change the situation of the Ninja World.
However, after understanding part of the truth, he knew that Hagoromo had set his sights on the dead in the Ninja World.
As for the real world, for Hagoromo, it was not completely unacceptable. All he wanted was souls.
Of course, if possible, Hagoromo certainly hoped that the Ninja World would operate according to his will. The key was whether Kazuki could make Hagoromo compromise.
...
In the Pure Land, Hamura's expression became strange.
He looked at his elder brother, opened his mouth, but in the end, couldn't say anything.
Hagoromo's face turned ashen, his reputation had been ruined by that guy named Tobirama.
He had transmitted Chakra to let everyone feel the true meaning of Chakra, he wanted to spread love.
As for harvesting the Chakra of souls, this was an unexpected joy for Hagoromo. He and Hamura had indeed used this to get stronger.
Even without being the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Hagoromo's strength had not decreased at all. Instead, it had increased to some extent.
But deliberately provoking the relationship between Asura and Indra, leading to an endless struggle between the two, had nothing to do with him.
Tobirama was even his descendant.
"Big brother, did you really think that?" After a long hesitation, Hamura finally asked.
Hagoromo's face darkened. It was fine if others didn't understand him, after all, a thousand years had passed, and many things had started to become blurred.
But Hamura had always been by his side, and he had done it too, hadn't he?
"You should know my purpose and ideals. Even now, I still believe that people can understand each other." Hagoromo said through gritted teeth.
His heart ached, even his own brother was starting to misunderstand him.
Could this world still achieve mutual understanding?
"That's not what I meant." Hamura shook his head slightly.
"However, do you think Kazuki's plan can succeed?"
Hagoromo's gaze deepened.
Making descendants revert to their ancestral state through special means?
He had never thought of it.
If he thought about it carefully, it seemed like it might not be impossible.
After much thought, he said, "I don't know either, but theoretically, it can succeed. This process requires a large amount of Chakra, but the Tailed Beasts can replenish it. In addition, your Giant Tenseigan is needed. Actually, I hope this can succeed. For the Ninja World, this is a good thing. If nothing unexpected happens, they might descend upon the Ninja World in less than thirty years."
