Chapter 526

【Ōnoki: If it weren't for the First Hokage's strength far surpassing the Sage of Six Paths, who knows what kind of insane actions this guy would have taken!!! The world under his rule had absolutely nothing worth lingering over!!! All I could see was endless, boundless destruction!!!】

【Terumi Mei: Fortunately, in that other world, the First Hokage existed, so even though the Sage of Six Paths kept trying to clutch the ninja world in his hands and never let go, there was still a First who would resist his rule without fading away — but as for our world, it's hard to say……】

【Rasa: That's right…… Our world doesn't have the First Hokage's existence. Facing such terrifying Otsutsuki clan members as the Sage of Six Paths, I don't know how we could possibly break free from their rule……】

【Minato Namikaze: Although that other world has the First Hokage's help, our world shouldn't be lacking either, right? We should still place our hopes on the ninjas who come after us. Perhaps among these younger generation, there will be existences who surpass us?】

【Nara Shikaku: Although I also hope that among the younger generation there are existences who can surpass the Kage of every generation, this kind of hope is really too small.】

……

Kaguya Otsutsuki stared expressionlessly at the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, struggling to hold on beneath Hashirama Senju's matchless aura,

her face showing not the slightest expression,

feeling neither joy nor anger,

because suddenly,

577

Kaguya Otsutsuki could no longer summon any feelings toward this son of hers,

although the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, had harbored his own selfish motives after sealing her away,

and over the course of several thousand years, Kaguya Otsutsuki had actually harbored quite a bit of resentment toward the Sage of Six Paths,

but just now, after these actions of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki,

she discovered that she no longer felt a single thing toward this son of hers, the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki!!!

The Sage of Six Paths had long since cast aside the bond between mother and son,

so why should she keep struggling to hold on here?

This was the resolve Kaguya Otsutsuki had quietly made in her own heart!!

After channeling the power of the Pure Land onto herself,

the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, involuntarily let out a moan of pleasure!!

In that instant,

he felt as though he had returned to the state of his peak moment,

but this feeling did not last long before it vanished!!!

Because of Hashirama Senju's presence before him,

he could clearly sense the gap between himself and Hashirama Senju.

The gap between the two of them was terrifyingly vast,

and this was something the Sage of Six Paths could not accept!!.

292, The ideals described by Hashirama Senju!!

Although the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, looked as though he might collapse at any moment,

extremely tense,

Hashirama Senju's face, however, was filled with ease and comfort!!

At this moment, he was in no hurry to defeat the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, immediately,

nor was he in any hurry to determine victory or defeat with Hagoromo Otsutsuki,

because in Hashirama Senju's eyes,

he still had other, more important things to do!!

For him, the Sage of Six Paths simply wasn't fit to be his opponent!!!

So from the very start, he had never believed the Sage of Six Paths would pose any threat to him,

and this was the reason he was so at ease,

because the situation had always been under his control,

and he had no need to determine victory or defeat with the Sage of Six Paths right this instant!!

Because compared to defeating the Sage of Six Paths,

he much preferred to watch the Sage of Six Paths struggling to hold on beneath his hands!!

Hashirama Senju wanted to utterly destroy the confidence in the Sage of Six Paths' heart!!!

He wanted to prove,

that he himself was right, and the Sage of Six Paths was wrong!!

As for killing the Sage of Six Paths or defeating the Sage of Six Paths,

it held no challenge for Hashirama Senju anymore,

because whenever Hashirama Senju wished, he could do so at any moment!!

So the current Hashirama Senju only wanted, to the greatest extent possible,

to make the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, understand that everything he had done was wrong,

and that what the Sage of Six Paths himself insisted upon was wrong,

and that only what he himself had done was right,

that the Sage of Six Paths was not a savior who could bring better development to this world,

that only he himself was the savior who could bring better development to this world!!!

The contributions he had made to this world,

far surpassed those of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

【Jiraiya: Hiss!!! The First Hokage's thoughts are truly terrifying. I think I'm gradually beginning to understand what the First Hokage is trying to do. It seems he doesn't want to simply regain some face against the Sage of Six Paths — what he truly wants to do is perhaps utterly defeat the convictions and beliefs in the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's heart!!】

【Orochimaru: Hehe…… It's hardly surprising that the First Hokage could do such a thing. For strong ones at their level, life itself might not necessarily be anything important — the pride in their hearts and the ideals they themselves cling to are what matter most. And the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, coming to trouble the First Hokage again and again — his doing so is hardly surprising either!!】

【Tsunade: I really don't know what reason Grandfather has to do this? In my view, the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, is just too annoying — you can't get through to him by talking. Just erase him completely from this world and be done with it!!】

【Madara Uchiha: Hashirama is still too soft-hearted. For someone this weak, there's really nothing more worth saying — just erase them completely with raw power!!】

【Fourth Raikage: If it weren't for the live broadcast system appearing, the First Hokage's actions here would, in my eyes, be completely treasonous — he actually dared to lay a hand on the Sage of Six Paths, the ancestor of our shinobi world. But now it seems the First Hokage's actions are also understandable!!】

【Ōnoki: We juniors of the shinobi world do hold the Sage of Six Paths in immense reverence, but it's a pity the Sage of Six Paths never once considered what he ought to do for our world!!】

【Rasa: The Sage of Six Paths of before might still be passable — I'll reluctantly believe for now that he truly did start out with the intention of dedicating himself to our world, that everything he did was for the future of our shinobi world. But after he became the Sage of Six Paths, perhaps his original intention had long since changed!!】

【Minato Namikaze: Before those in power become those in power, perhaps the goals they carry are all very good goals. But after they become those in power, whether that goal will change is unknown. And the longer they remain in power, the more many things change……】

【Chiyo Granny: Hehe…… Fourth Hokage…… listening to you talk like this, it seems you understand this point very well. You seem to have something specific in mind — it looks like you've been deeply troubled by this. I just don't know whether you're the corrupted one in power, or the victim……】

【Nara Shikaku: Regardless…… since the Fourth Hokage has returned, I will definitely stand behind the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Our Nara clan will also follow Lord Minato wholeheartedly!!!】

……

"¨」 What a pity…… Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo…々「 …"

"You, as the Sage of Six Paths — the way you look right now is truly too ugly……"

"But don't worry, the more you are like this, the less I will truly kill you. I want everyone in this shinobi world to see what the real you — the Sage of Six Paths — actually looks like."

"I clearly had the strength and the ability to create a better world, a world where war would never appear at all……"

"But our great Sage of Six Paths actually wanted to destroy the world I created, all for his own selfish desires……"

"I want everyone to see just how ugly the Sage of Six Paths we all revere truly is……"

The sneer on Hashirama Senju's face grew thicker and thicker,

as if he could already see,

under his own manipulation,

the entire shinobi world casting scorn upon the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo,

and after the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, heard Hashirama Senju say this,

the expression on his face grew worse and worse,

he would rather be killed directly by Hashirama Senju,

than have the things Hashirama described actually happen! Disaster!

If it really came to that step,

how miserable his future would be,

he could not endure being scorned by others,

the Sage of Six Paths simply did not want to become such a person,

perhaps for the Sage of Six Paths,

if it really came to this step, for him it would simply be the greatest humiliation since his very birth!!

To this kind of humiliation,
