Chapter 529

This was the point that struck the Sage of Six Paths even harder,

He believed he could accept even if he died at the hands of Hashirama Senju or Kaguya Otsutsuki,

The Sage of Six Paths himself thought he could accept it,

But he could not possibly accept that his own beliefs and all he had done were rejected by his own successors.

If all the contributions he made for this world were denied by its future generations,

Would that not negate the very proof of his existence?

This caused the Sage of Six Paths' faith to crumble slightly,

He could not understand at all why everyone thought he was wrong,

But from the Sage of Six Paths' own perspective, he had done nothing wrong,

He also had no idea where he had erred—he, as the founding ancestor of the ninja way,

Had sacrificed his life to defeat Hashirama Senju, this ambitious evil man,

Yet these future generations of the ninja world did not stand by him,

Did not help him confront Hashirama Senju,

Instead, they all sided with Hashirama Senju and accused him of being the one in the wrong,

This was utterly unbearable to the Sage of Six Paths,

He was even now on the verge of breaking down,

If the Sage of Six Paths had not still deeply believed he was right,

He would likely have collapsed completely, inside and out,

He might have lost his faith entirely!!!

295. Kaguya Otsutsuki's Allegiance: Hagoromo, this time you are wrong!

But the final straw that crushed the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, was his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki's attitude toward him,

In the Sage of Six Paths' eyes,

He was the most correct person in this world,

He was the one who had made contributions for this world,

He was the righteous savior of this world,

While his own mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, was a woman who spared no means to strengthen her power,

Therefore, she was harmful to this world!!!

Hagoromo Otsutsuki believed his contributions to this world far surpassed anyone else's,

So he did not recognize his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki at all,

On the contrary, he regarded Kaguya Otsutsuki as an evil existence,

But now, as the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, faced off against "580" Hashirama Senju,

He found that his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki, though not on good terms with Hashirama Senju,

Still firmly stood on Hashirama Senju's side,

As if she and Hashirama Senju were of the same alignment!!

And his own relationship with Kaguya Otsutsuki seemed poor indeed,

This was the point that caused the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, immense anguish,

After all, he and Kaguya Otsutsuki were mother and son,

Though thousands of years ago he and his brother Hagoromo Hamura and others had joined forces against their mother Kaguya Otsutsuki,

The Sage of Six Paths believed his actions were understandable!!

Because Kaguya Otsutsuki was a tumor upon this world,

Her methods would bring unimaginable consequences to this world!!

So the Sage of Six Paths believed that because he had made so many contributions to this world,

Everyone in this world should thank him,

Not accuse him here!!!

【Jiraiya: I feel like the Sage of Six Paths now looks nothing like a sage—he's more like a villain bent on destroying the world…】

【Orochimaru: That's only natural… This man has long fallen into obsession; he believes only his own actions are correct for this world and denies all others.】

【Tobirama Senju: Any great power breeds arrogance, and such arrogance strips others of reason—even the Sage of Six Paths likely cannot escape it. His current state, I think, is understandable. Even now, if my elder brother faced this situation and was corrupted by power, he'd act exactly like the Sage of Six Paths…】

【Madara Uchiha: Hmph… the Sage of Six Paths… with such exceptional talent and foundation, he wasted his mind on such heretical paths. Had he simply kept training to strengthen himself, he might not have ended up like this.】

【Minato Namikaze: Hard to imagine… if not for the live-streaming system, none of us would ever have known that the legendary founder of the ninja way was like this. He clung to his own selfish desires, never willing to let go, instead trying to grip the ninja world tightly in his hands.】

【Fourth Raikage: There's nothing to be done… reality hits again, it's terrifying. If any of us had his power and sat in his position, it would be hard not to become arrogant…】

【Daimaru: Watching what the live-streaming system is showing now, I can't help but wonder—if the Sage of Six Paths had never existed in this world, what would our world be like?】

【Terumi Mei: Although the Sage of Six Paths' actions now seem full of errors, I believe his appearance was necessary in that era. Without Hagoromo Otsutsuki, none of us in the ninja world might exist—we'd all have been absorbed by Kaguya Otsutsuki as Truth-Seeking Ball fruits long ago!!】

【Ro砂: The Sage of Six Paths… how arrogant he was… faced with so many injustices in the ninja world, he had the power to change everything, yet chose to do nothing…】

…

Inside the cave,

Black Zetsu watched the livestream audience's discussion about the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki,

His face involuntarily twisted into a sneer,

Because in his view,

The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, was such a hypocritical being,

He never rebelled against his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki's rule for the sake of ninja world peace,

It was all for his own ambition,

his own desire to keep the shinobi world under his own control!!

That was why he allied with outsiders to deal with his own mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki,

In Black Zetsu's view,

his own brother, the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, was nothing but a back-stabbing traitor!!

Kaguya Otsutsuki gave Hagoromo Otsutsuki life,

and granted Hagoromo Otsutsuki power beyond compare,

yet Hagoromo Otsutsuki chose to join forces with outsiders to deal with his own mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki!!!

Thinking of all this, Black Zetsu

felt his heart seethe with rage and jealousy,

among the three children Kaguya Otsutsuki bore,

he was the one most loyal to Kaguya Otsutsuki!!!

Unfortunately, because the timing of his birth was not quite right,

he had been left with no power at all,

no different from an ordinary person!!!

……

Seeing that Hagoromo Otsutsuki's face still wore that same furious, icy expression...

Kaguya Otsutsuki could not help but shake her head and sigh,

her countenance cool and detached as she opened her mouth,

and spoke softly to Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

"Hagoromo… although I do not believe my own thoughts and actions were correct, I do not acknowledge yours either."

"Everything you have done has not brought more good to this world; on the contrary, it has plunged this world into another endless battle…"

"Even though I have never intervened in this world's progress, I can still hear the anguished cries from the depths of countless living souls in this world…"

"And these things—you clearly had the power and the ability to change all of it—yet you chose to stand by and do nothing."

"Hagoromo… you are far too arrogant… this time, you are the one in the wrong."

On Kaguya Otsutsuki's breathtakingly beautiful face, she callously pronounced Hagoromo Otsutsuki's error!!
