Chapter 530

296. The shock of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki! Could Hashirama Senju's ideals be so terrifying?!

And after hearing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki say this,

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's face also showed a look of shame and fury,

he simply could not accept that his own mother could say such things to him,

to Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, this was utterly unacceptable!!!

In Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's current heart,

his own dignity mattered more than anything,

he could accept being defeated by Hashirama Senju,

he could accept being defeated by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki,

but Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo could never accept anyone saying his actions were wrong,

this was completely unbearable to him,

because Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo had always believed everything he did was for the sake of this ninja world!!!!

"How about it… I told you so, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo. I've always thought your actions were flawed…"

"Now not only do I think so, but even your own mother denies your actions. Won't you finally admit your mistake?"

Hashirama Senju wore a faint smile as he spoke to Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, who was barely holding under his pressure!!!

Upon hearing Hashirama Senju say this, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's face turned utterly crimson!!!!!

Veins on his neck bulged one by one,

as if at this moment,

this was the most humiliating and unbearable thing for him!!!!!

While others' opinions might not matter much to Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo,

his mother Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's rejection of him

stripped away the last shred of his self-deception,

because he had always believed he alone was the righteous one in this world,

while his mother Kaguya Ōtsutsuki represented evil,

his rebellion against his mother was meant to overthrow her evil rule,

to save the people of this world,

but now that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had said this,

wasn't that placing him on the opposite side of evil?

This Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo simply could not accept!!!!!

Meanwhile,

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, and Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki all watched the discussion between Hashirama Senju and the others,

their faces showing keen interest,

though all three had been sealed by Hashirama Senju,

that did not mean their consciousness was inactive,

they could still observe the outside world from within Hashirama Senju's sealing space,

and after hearing the dialogue between Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo,

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's expression grew even more mocking,

he saw this as karma for Kaguya Ōtsutsuki,

as a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan,

she had failed to fulfill her duty,

as his servant, she should have surrendered herself to be consumed by the God Tree's fruit,

but thousands of years ago,

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had chosen to betray him — in Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's eyes, this was an immense disgrace,

because a servant betraying her master was extremely rare in the entire Ōtsutsuki clan,

yet it had happened to him,

making Ōtsutsuki Isshiki feel he might never hold his head high again in the future of the Ōtsutsuki clan,

and later, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo betrayed his own mother Kaguya Ōtsutsuki,

choosing to ally with outsiders to fight against Kaguya Ōtsutsuki,

to Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, this was pure karmic retribution,

years ago, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki betrayed the one who trusted her utterly,

and now her own son had betrayed her,

to Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, this was pure cyclical justice,

now Kaguya Ōtsutsuki reaps what she sowed!!!!!

She too has tasted the bitterness of betrayal!!!!!

【Jiraiya: The Sage of Six Paths… he looks disgustingly ugly — not at all like a sage. Facing this situation, he still dares to justify himself, still insists he's right.】

【Orochimaru: The Sage of Six Paths… I never thought his actions were right. What history records is rarely true — it's always been artificially altered.】

【Tobirama Senju: I'm deeply disappointed in the Sage of Six Paths. I never expected that as a legendary sage and ancestor of the Senju clan, after seeing my brother make such a magnificent change, he wouldn't support him — instead, he stands against him?!?!】

【Raikage: Since ancient times, rulers have always been like this — they want to be the best, they want successors to excel, but they refuse to let those successors surpass them!!!!】

【Terumi Mei: Now it's clear the Sage of Six Paths is disgusting — he talks endlessly about the ninja world's future, about us, but in truth, he's only ever cared for himself!!】

【Naruto Uzumaki: Hmm… I don't understand what this old man is saying, but I can feel something's off about what he's saying — just like with the Third Hokage…】

【Shimura Danzo: Hahahaha!! Monkey!! It seems everyone has seen through your hypocrisy — no one认同s your ideals!!!】

……

And when Hashirama Senju saw the Sage of Six Paths violently resisting him like this,

he didn't seem surprised at all,

he just kept telling the Sage of Six Paths about all the reform measures he'd carried out over the years.

Unifying the realm, establishing schools, greatly promoting science and technology…

Every single one of these actions far surpassed the Sage of Six Paths' understanding,

and he was only just learning that the world could actually develop in such a way,

and when Ōtsutsuki Isshiki heard Hashirama Senju recount these ideals of his,

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had initially only listened with a casual, half-hearted attitude,

but as Hashirama Senju said more and more,

the expression on Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's face grew increasingly solemn,

he realized that if Hashirama Senju's ideals were actually carried out,

then every single person in their world would likely become an extremely powerful existence in the future,

even an utterly ordinary, weak person could potentially grow into a terrifyingly formidable powerhouse!!!.

297. In his hands, perhaps a brand-new race could be born!

After hearing Hashirama Senju ceaselessly expound his ideals,

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki finally understood what staggering ambition Hashirama Senju harbored,

or rather, what kind of glorious future he himself truly wished to forge!!

And after hearing Hashirama Senju say all this,

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki even felt a kind of indescribable dread,

because in Hashirama Senju's account,

if he could actually forge such a world,

it would be an utterly terrifying change for the entire shinobi world!!!

In Hashirama Senju's account,

in the world he would forge,

every single weak, ordinary person would possess limitless potential for growth,

so long as they kept cultivating diligently according to the system Hashirama Senju had established,

they could grow without limit,
