Chapter 506: Just Some Applications of Yin-Yang Release

Hamura suddenly raised his head, his weathered Byakugan filled with disbelief.

His mother, who once looked down on all living things as mere ants, would actually say the word "atonement"? She was even willing to travel the Ninja World in the humble guise of an "ascetic monk"?

Was this... real? Or was it another illusion?

Hamura’s expression instantly became incredibly serious, even grave. He stared intently at that mass of chaotic Chakra, as if trying to see through it to understand his mother Kaguya’s true thoughts at this moment.

Atonement? Traveling the Ninja World?

What a joke!

With his mother’s unimaginably massive Chakra and her will that had never truly perished even after being sealed, once she left the Seal, even if she truly harbored thoughts of "atonement", her very existence would be enough to cause unpredictable impacts and turmoil in the Ninja World!

An ascetic monk?

Who could guarantee that she wouldn’t go back to her old ways during her travels due to some provocation or temptation?

Who could guarantee that she wouldn’t become a tool used by some ambitious people?

Who could guarantee that she wouldn’t become the "God Tree" that threatened the entire world once again?

The thousand-year Seal was not just for punishment, but also for protection—protecting the Ninja World, and protecting his mother herself from making even greater mistakes.

After a brief moment of shock and contemplation, Hamura shook his head firmly.

His voice returned to its usual calmness, but carried an unquestionable decisiveness:

"Let’s forget about it then."

"Mother, you can atone for your sins just the same here."

"Reflect in silence, repent in the Seal, and in the eternal flow of time, truly understand everything you have done and everything you have lost."

"The distractions of the outside world will only distract you, and might even cause you to lose your way again."

"This is the most suitable place for your ’atonement’."

With that, Hamura said no more.

He slowly walked away from the place of the Seal.

Inside the Sealing Space, dead silence returned.

Kaguya lowered her eyes.

A son guarding against his mother, even more than against a thief.

This cruel reality was like a cold chain, wrapping around her long-silent heart.

But she could not refute it, because the root of all this indeed lay within herself.

"Mother..."

A gentle voice sounded, breaking the dead silence of the Sealing Space.

An illusionary figure dressed in a white robe, holding an Immortal khakkhara, and with two horns growing from his forehead slowly manifested before the Seal.

He had long brown hair, unlike Hamura, but his eyes were deep purple Rinnegan, calmly gazing at the tall and lonely female figure within the Seal.

The newcomer was none other than Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s eldest son, the founder of Ninshu, revered by later generations as the "Six Paths Sage"—Hagoromo.

"Hagoromo..."

The Six Paths Sage spoke no further.

He quietly looked at his mother within the Seal, his body gradually solidifying.

A thousand years had left deep marks on him and his younger brother, Hamura.

They had long since aged, and what existed now was nothing but a Soul or a Puppet body.

Yet their mother, Kaguya, because she had consumed the fruit of the God Tree, had gained near-eternal life; within the Seal, her appearance remained unchanged, as if time had left no trace on her.

To meet again, after both brothers had died, facing their still-young mother.

It was truly sigh-inducing.

Hagoromo sighed silently in his heart.

He had experienced a lot.

He founded Ninshu, guided humanity, witnessed the alternation of war and peace, and traveled the Ninja World to find suitable habitats for the entities split from the Ten-Tails, ultimately dividing the Ten-Tails into nine Tailed Beasts at the end of his life.

After his death, his Soul returned to the Pure Land, yet he did not fully rest, still keeping an eye on the Ninja World and offering guidance at critical moments.

In the Pure Land, he saw even more.

He saw the changes in the Ninja World, the struggles and growth of his descendants, and the threat of the Otsutsuki Clan from beyond the heavens.

At her Peak, his mother Kaguya’s power was much stronger than that of Urashiki, who arrived later.

This was perhaps because she had completely consumed the fruit of the God Tree.

But since the power of the Ten-Tails was separated, Kaguya’s strength was also far from what it used to be.

At this moment, even in his Soul form, which was inferior to his Peak state when alive, the Six Paths Sage was confident he could defeat his mother as she was now.

"The so-called Otsutsuki Clan is indeed very strong."

The Six Paths Sage pondered for a long time before finding a new topic: "However, the Asura reincarnate of this generation is also very powerful. At least before he dies, the safety of the Ninja World is guaranteed."

"Asura?" Kaguya’s voice carried a trace of confusion.

"Asura is my younger son."

The Six Paths Sage explained, his tone gentle, "You have also met his reincarnate. It is that Sixth Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto."

"Is that so..."

Indeed, her sons were born with the blessings of the people of the Ninja World; they were not pure-blooded Otsutsuki, nor had they eaten the fruit of the God Tree, so they naturally did not have long lifespans.

It was also normal for them to marry and have children in the Ninja World.

Kaguya fell silent for a moment. "Indeed. You and Hamura did not eat the fruit of the God Tree, so your lifespans naturally cannot compare to those Otsutsuki who have eaten it."

She paused, seemingly wanting to change the subject. "Was your wife virtuous?"

Hearing this, the corners of the Six Paths Sage’s mouth curled up slightly, the wrinkles on his lined face deepening a bit more.

He seemed to fall into memory, savoring every little detail of his time with his wife.

"She was very virtuous."

The Six Paths Sage’s voice softened. "Gentle and kind, she was one of the most important people in my life.

However... she passed away very early."

"My condolences."

This consolation, coming from her mouth, felt a bit awkward.

"There is no need for condolences."

The Six Paths Sage shook his head, his smile remaining. "I have also gone to the world of the deceased. Although there are still many things to keep me busy in the Pure Land, the time I can spend by her side is, after all, more than when I was alive."

"I see... Wait?"

Only now did Kaguya notice that her son’s appearance had solidified quite a bit compared to when he first appeared.

His current appearance was no different from when he was alive; he did not look like a deceased Soul at all.

Could it be that he possessed a resurrection technique?

Thinking of Hamura’s Soul possessing a Puppet body to return to the Ninja World, Kaguya only then thought in this direction.

Kaguya herself had not learned the ’resurrection technique’ of the Otsutsuki Clan; she only found out that the Otsutsuki had a resurrection technique after Otohime appeared.

But on second thought, even in the main Otsutsuki family, methods for perfect resurrection were extremely rare and had harsh conditions.

It was absolutely impossible to appear as casually as Hagoromo did.

She had originally thought Hagoromo’s Soul was temporarily returning.

She didn’t expect that he could actually create a Physical Body out of thin air!

This... how is this possible?!

"Hehe..."

The Six Paths Sage seemed to see his mother’s shock and let out a light chuckle.

"Just some applications of Yin-Yang Release.

Over the past thousand years, having nothing to do in the Pure Land, I just casually tinkered around and made some little toys.

They are not worth mentioning."
