Chapter 478

Kaguya Otsutsuki preferred her son even more!!

Because in her eyes,

Hagoromo Otsutsuki's strength was closer to her own,

and his conduct and demeanor were also much more similar to hers!!

The Otsutsuki clan,

always believed in strength as the supreme law!!

In their eyes,

everything hinged on strength above all,

so Hagoromo Otsutsuki's immense strength,

naturally earned him Kaguya Otsutsuki's greater affection!!

……

Inside the cave,

Black Zetsu, witnessing this scene,

was consumed by jealous rage!!

Even across the livestream,

he could clearly sense Kaguya Otsutsuki's deep affection for Hagoromo Otsutsuki!!!

Even though Hagoromo Otsutsuki had betrayed Kaguya Otsutsuki,

yet Kaguya Otsutsuki still held such profound feelings for him!!

This made Black Zetsu feel immense jealousy!!

Among the three brothers,

Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki both chose to betray their mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki!!

But I have always deeply respected and loved my mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki!!

I spent countless efforts to save my mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, from the Otsutsuki clan,

I poured in untold labor,

yet received no true reward,

and this was what made Black Zetsu feel the most furious!!

I am the one who respected Mother the most,

the one who always placed her first,

so why does Mother favor that man, the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki?!

And now, even to this day,

I have gained nothing!!

At least Hamura Otsutsuki inherited some of Kaguya Otsutsuki's Kekkei Genkai,

and possesses considerable strength,

but I have not gained even a shred of power—this is what hurts Black Zetsu the most!!

Moreover, both Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki bear the Otsutsuki surname,

but I do not bear the Otsutsuki surname,

I have only one name,

Black Zetsu!!!

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu felt his anguish deepen further!!

"Mother… I am the one who has always been loyal to you, who has kept you in my heart."

"That man, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, never regarded you as his own mother—he always sought to claim your power for himself…"

"Why, even now, do you still cling to illusions about him?"

Having lived for countless eons, Black Zetsu naturally understood

what emotion lay in Kaguya Otsutsuki's gaze toward the Sage of Six Paths.

It was the look of a mother toward her son!!

……

After spending a long while,

the Sage of Six Paths finally suppressed the shock within his heart… …

He spoke to Kaguya Otsutsuki with a grim expression.

"Even if you escaped from your seal, it is useless now."

"This world is no longer the era in which you lived."

"You cannot possibly gather the Ten-Tails again or influence this world…"

"This world has produced beings far stronger than you—you will gain nothing from them…"

As he said this,

the Sage of Six Paths's expression darkened further.

He recalled again the terror he once felt under Hashirama Senju's domination!!

Had it not been for Hashirama Senju's existence,

he might never have declined to his current state.

【Jiraiya: Does this old Sage of Six Paths have such thick skin? He himself went looking for trouble with the First Hokage, yet now blames him?】

【Tsunade: Hmph!! My grandfather gave this old man countless chances, yet he kept provoking himself… Victory and defeat are simple truths—he still doesn't understand them!!】

【Orochimaru: It seems the legendary Sage of Six Paths is nothing more than this. Apart from his strength exceeding mine, in every other respect he looks no different from an ordinary person!!】

【Minato Namikaze: Heh heh!! The Sage of Six Paths… is nothing but a joke… Looking at it now, he merely treated the shinobi world as his personal possession.】

【Shikamaru Nara: As expected, the historical records cannot be trusted. Setting aside what the histories record, many great figures really aren't all that different from ordinary people!!】

"Mother… give up… you cannot be Hashirama Senju's opponent…"

"As long as he exists in this world for even a single day, you cannot act wantonly like you did back then!!"

"His strength has long since exceeded your imagination, so you need not make any useless moves!!"

A trace of an inexplicable light appeared in the Sage of Six Paths' eyes,

and he slowly said to Kaguya Otsutsuki!!

After casting aside the shock in his mind,

the Sage of Six Paths had a new idea!!.

245. Sage of Six Paths: I only want to sit back and reap the benefits of others' strife!

He understood Hashirama Senju's character very well,

and he also understood his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki's character very well!!

Both of their characters were extremely domineering and overbearing,

neither willing to have their fate controlled by others,

and moreover their styles of doing things were also extremely similar!!

Basically, they both acted solely according to their own ideas,

and basically would not listen to others' opinions,

however Hashirama Senju still had bonds in this world!!

while Kaguya Otsutsuki had no bonds whatsoever in this world,

so Hashirama Senju was still much better off than Kaguya Otsutsuki,

the world that Hashirama Senju ruled,

at the very least would not let all the people of this world die!!

Based on the characters of Hashirama Senju and Kaguya Otsutsuki,

a new idea immediately arose in the Sage of Six Paths' own heart,

he wanted to stir up the conflict between these two,

make the two of them clash,

this way he might be able to gain some other benefits behind the scenes!!

Moreover, as Kaguya Otsutsuki's son,
