Chapter 508: Return

After obtaining crucial intelligence about the Otsutsuki Clan, the Six Paths Sage’s figure gradually began to turn transparent, as if he could dissipate into the faint glow of the Sealing Space at any moment.

Before leaving, he seemed to recall something. With a flip of his hand, a peculiar mirror, ancient in style, with complex patterns carved along its edges and a surface that seemed to reflect the human heart, appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Six Paths Treasure Tool: Mirror of Seven Sins.

During his millennium in the Pure Land, the Six Paths Sage, in addition to researching Yin-Yang Release, also refined or collected some interesting artifacts to observe and understand the Soul and human heart.

He silently aimed the mirror at his mother, Kaguya, who was within the Seal.

Kaguya’s Seven Sins values appeared on the mirror’s surface.

Pride: 100

Envy: 5

Wrath: 49

Sloth: 9

Greed: 9

Gluttony: 7

Lust: 0

The Six Paths Sage’s gaze lingered on the ’Pride’ branch for a moment, his eyes deep.

This was not unexpected.

His mother’s pride should stem from her immense power and long lifespan, which were the capital of her arrogance.

However, it was still lower than Naruto’s and Madara’s.

Naruto’s pride was 120, and Madara’s was 105.

Before meeting Uchiha Madara, the Six Paths Sage thought the maximum score for a single item on the Mirror of Seven Sins was 100. After meeting Uzumaki Naruto, the Six Paths Sage began to suspect whether Asura and Indra had reincarnated into the bodies of each other’s descendants.

Kaguya’s Wrath value was not low compared to other values, but it wasn’t actually high.

To have such a low value after being betrayed and sealed for a millennium by her own sons only meant her state of mind was too good.

Besides this, the values for the other cardinal sins were surprisingly low, exceeding the Six Paths Sage’s expectations.

For power and survival, Kaguya could make great efforts, even ambushing Isshiki, whose strength was likely superior to hers.

Aside from Pride and Wrath, all other values were very low.

This made the Six Paths Sage feel a little relieved. At least, his mother was not a monster completely consumed by worldly desires.

Although she was very proud, that wasn’t important.

At least she wouldn’t make more unpredictable and crazy moves due to other low-level desires.

He put away the Mirror of Seven Sins and once again looked at the silent female giant in the Seal.

"After resolving the Otsutsuki Clan’s hidden danger in the Ninja World..."

The Six Paths Sage’s calm voice rang out, clearly reaching Kaguya and Hamura beside him.

"I will send Mother away from the Ninja World."

After leaving this sentence, the Six Paths Sage’s figure completely transformed into specks of light, dissipating within the Sealing Space, as if he had never appeared.

Upon hearing this, Hamura’s face showed unconcealable astonishment.

He abruptly turned his head to look in the direction where his elder brother had vanished, then looked incredulously at his mother in the Seal.

Send Mother away from the Ninja World?

His elder brother had never discussed this with him before!

What did this sudden decision mean? How would he send her? Where would she go? What would happen after leaving the Ninja World? Did he intend to break the Seal? That risk was too great!

Countless questions and worries instantly surged in Hamura’s heart.

And Kaguya, within the Seal, fell into immense bewilderment the moment she heard her eldest son Hagoromo’s words.

Exile?

The Six Paths Sage had already left, so Kaguya couldn’t press him for answers.

She could only turn her gaze to her younger son, Hamura, who was still standing there, looking astonished.

Perhaps the two brothers had already secretly discussed it, and Hamura would continue to guard her.

"Hamura, where are you sending me?"

Hamura recovered from his shock.

He looked at his mother and slowly shook his head, the confusion and solemnity on his face not appearing feigned.

"I also do not know my elder brother’s plan."

Hamura said honestly, "My elder brother did not discuss this matter with me before."

He paused, looking at his mother, who had remained unchanged for a millennium in the Seal but was now stirred by a single sentence, and continued with a complex tone:

"However, Mother has been confined here for a millennium, so you must also wish to walk freely outside and see different worlds, right?"

These words were spoken with some difficulty, even carrying a hint of pity that he himself hadn’t noticed.

"When everything is settled, I believe elder brother will properly arrange Mother’s destination.

He is always thoughtful."

Hamura added finally, as if comforting Kaguya, and also as if convincing himself.

Kaguya fell silent.

She could feel that Hamura was not lying.

He truly didn’t know.

"Oh..."

Kaguya’s voice returned to its previous calm, but it seemed to have gained an indescribable... expectation? Or unease?

She paused, seemingly after a brief thought, before speaking again:

"Then you all... hurry up..."

Mid-sentence, she changed her mind.

"No... perhaps take it slow. Slow and steady is safer."

These contradictory words revealed the complexity of her inner feelings.

She yearned for freedom, yet feared the unknown; she hoped to be released from the Seal soon, yet worried that hasty actions would bring greater risks or unforeseen changes.

Hamura nodded, "Mm."

He said no more, but his gaze towards the Seal became even deeper and more complex.

Send Mother away from the Ninja World... Elder brother, what exactly are you planning?

It was at this very moment.

The space rippled violently like water, then was forcibly torn open by a brute force, creating a rift with shimmering silver-white edges.

Immediately after, a Silver Dragon, covered entirely in silver-white scales, abruptly extended its massive head and slender body from the rift, descending into this Sealing Space.

Kamimusubi!

On the Silver Dragon’s back, a golden-haired, blue-eyed youth with a handsome face and towering stature stood steadily.

His gaze, like electricity, directly met Hamura and Kaguya in the Seal, his eyes calm. It was Young Naruto, who had returned.

Almost the instant the Silver Dragon fully entered the space, a silver light flashed on its body, and its colossal dragon form rapidly contracted and transformed.

As the light dissipated, a slender girl of about sixteen or seventeen gracefully landed beside Young Naruto.

It was Otsutsuki Otohime.

Unlike before, when her Chakra was greatly depleted and she could only maintain her childlike form, her Chakra had clearly recovered considerably, and her appearance had become more mature and refined, returning to the maidenly look she had when she first met Young Naruto.

She had long, silver-white hair that flowed down to her ankles like moonlight, soft and lustrous.

She wore a pristine white gown, spotless.

Her skin was as fair and translucent as ice and snow, seemingly delicate enough to break at a touch.

She was like an elf who had emerged from the depths of a snowfield, cold, noble, and untouched by the mundane world.

Her golden eyes, like molten gold, first rested on the side profile of the golden-haired youth beside her.

Then, she shifted her gaze, turning it towards Kaguya in the massive Seal ahead, her eyes once again becoming arrogant and disdainful.

"Hmph hmph~"

Otohime let out a light laugh, full of triumph and mischief, and slightly raised her chin, like a proud white peacock, saying to Kaguya in the Seal:

"Kaguya, I have reached a reconciliation with the Hokage!"

"Now, if you are willing to meekly and respectfully call me ’Lady Otohime,’"

Otohime’s lips curved into a cunning smile, "I will work with the Hokage to find a way to release you from the Seal, how about it?

This trade is quite worthwhile, isn’t it?"

She had returned to the state of the arrogant, willful, yet powerful Otsutsuki she was when she first met Naruto.

The recovery of her Chakra seemed to have brought back much of her "true nature."
