"Sage of Six Paths... deep inside yourself you hide a hypocrisy even you cannot perceive, yet you still want to talk to me like that — how utterly laughable!!!"

Hashirama Senju stared coldly at the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and said,

he would ruthlessly strip away the last fig leaf in Hagoromo Otsutsuki's heart,

and make Hagoromo Otsutsuki understand completely that he was the one in the wrong!!

He would defeat Hagoromo Otsutsuki thoroughly, from the inside out!!!!!.

316. The Sage of Six Paths' growing bewilderment: Could I really be wrong?!

Listening to Hashirama Senju's words, the Sage of Six Paths was indeed growing more and more bewildered inside — could he really be wrong??

Especially when his own mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, spoke up in support of Hashirama Senju,

it seemed to make the last line of defense in the Sage of Six Paths' heart collapse as well,

he could not accept that his own mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, seemed to have taken a stand beside Hashirama Senju,

speaking up for Hashirama Senju — this was the point that left the Sage of Six Paths most speechless!!!

……

The Akatsuki,

Uzumaki Nagato in his wheelchair stared coldly at the livestream system's screen.

And Konan, standing beside him,

the expression on her face was no better than his,

and as they watched the Sage of Six Paths on the screen, they showed deep contempt.

"This Sage of Six Paths guy is really too hypocritical — even his own mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, can no longer believe what he says."

"He keeps claiming he opposed Hashirama Senju for the future of the entire shinobi world, and thinks Hashirama Senju is an ambitious schemer, but compared to Hashirama Senju, all of his own actions actually make him look more like the ambitious schemer!!"

"Heh... what the Sage of Six Paths guy says probably no one believes except himself — only he would believe the nonsense that comes out of his own mouth!!!"

Seeing the Sage of Six Paths on the screen, Uzumaki Nagato and Konan felt the faith they had always clung to crumbling inside them,

especially Uzumaki Nagato — he had always styled himself as the inheritor of the Sage of Six Paths,

he believed that the heavens had given him these Rinnegan as an acknowledgment of himself,

meaning even the heavens recognized him as this world's savior,

so Uzumaki Nagato believed he was the one who could end this chaotic age and bring peace to the world as its savior,

but now, seeing the Sage of Six Paths like this, Uzumaki Nagato felt a deep sense of shame,

he was deeply ashamed to share the same eyes as the Sage of Six Paths,

if the Sage of Six Paths was this kind of person,

then for Uzumaki Nagato, it was hardly a good thing,

Uzumaki Nagato even felt that this state of affairs made him feel deeply uncomfortable,

Uzumaki Nagato had once believed that, compared to others, he himself might be considerably more fortunate,

although he had lost his parents and his country had suffered disaster after disaster, the heavens had given him the Rinnegan,

and that was the greatest gift the heavens had given him — perhaps all the suffering he had endured before was meant to temper him,

so that he could better appreciate peace, which was why he had gone through so much hardship,

but now Uzumaki Nagato felt that perhaps all of this had been wrong from the very root,

it was because of the Sage of Six Paths guy that this world had so much misfortune,

now Uzumaki Nagato was even thinking — if he, like Hashirama Senju, insisted on bringing peace to this world,

but his methods were not to the Sage of Six Paths' liking,

would the Sage of Six Paths of their world also step forward to stop him?

Uzumaki Nagato knew clearly,

not to mention the Sage of Six Paths from another world shown in the livestream system — the one in their own world still existed as well,

the Sage of Six Paths might also be silently watching everything from behind the scenes,

and once this world's development went anywhere that did not suit his wishes, the Sage of Six Paths might step forward to stop them!!!

"Nagato... what do you think this Sage of Six Paths guy is actually thinking?"

"It's one thing that he himself can't bring peace to this world, but he keeps blocking the emergence of a Hokage again and again!!!"

Whenever Konan thought of this, she felt a deep fury inside, as if she could not accept that the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, was actually like this.

"Heh... because the Sage of Six Paths guy has always believed that only his own decisions are correct — that is his most arrogant point — but in reality, everything he has done is merely to satisfy his own selfish desires, not the peace he keeps talking about!!!"

Uzumaki Nagato immediately pointed out the crux of the matter,

and for the Sage of Six Paths, he also completely stripped away the last fig leaf in his heart, and thoroughly negated everything the Sage of Six Paths had done!!!

……

"Brother... stop, perhaps what Hashirama Senju is doing is the right thing!!"

"The two of us may have both walked a wrong path — we did not bring better development to this world, but instead held back this world from growing further..."

"Brother... this was never our original intention, so let's not keep going on like this."

"Perhaps you can choose to admit your mistake to Hashirama Senju — if the two of us are willing to help him and tell him everything we know, this world might achieve even better development!!"

Hamura Otsutsuki, who had been silent all this time,

finally could not hold back and began to advise the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki,

hoping that Hagoromo Otsutsuki would join him in helping Hashirama Senju better build this world,

if things were truly carried out according to the ideals Hashirama Senju described, this world might achieve a qualitative leap and development,

what the two of them, Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki, could not accomplish might just be accomplished in Hashirama Senju's hands,

and upon hearing his brother Hamura Otsutsuki say this, the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, could only helplessly widen his eyes,

He could hardly believe these were words spoken by Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo,

He had never imagined that Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, who had always followed behind him and supported him no matter when or where,

would actually begin to oppose him at this moment—could it be that he had truly done something wrong????

One could say that Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's words were the final straw that crushed the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hamura, in his heart,

He could not accept that his brother Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, who had always supported him, had actually taken Hashirama Senju's side.

This feeling of being abandoned by everyone made Ōtsutsuki Hamura feel that perhaps he had truly done wrong,

otherwise it would be impossible for everyone around him to have all taken Hashirama Senju's side.

These facts only caused the Sage of Six Paths to harbor an extremely intense doubt about his current situation!!.

317. Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's Questioning: What will happen to this world after you die?

Although the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hamura, had fallen into bewilderment,

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo still had many questions in his heart that he wanted to say to Hashirama Senju!!!

Because in Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's heart, it seemed,

although Hashirama Senju appeared to have done a more excellent job than both him and his elder brother Ōtsutsuki Hamura,

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo believed this was not the end of the matter!!

"Hashirama Senju… although I think you have done better than what we did before…"

"But don't you think that everything you have established now is merely based entirely upon your own supreme strength?"

"If, after you completely leave this world, what on earth will this world become? Have you ever thought about it yourself?"

"And can you guarantee that, after you rule this world and sit upon this throne for so long, you will not undergo a change? …"

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo directly asked out the point he was most puzzled about in his heart,

he wanted to obtain from Hashirama Senju what he wished to obtain,

and after Hashirama Senju finished hearing Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's words,

there was not the slightest change in expression on his face,

because from the very beginning he seemed to have already known that Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo would have such a doubt!!

Or rather, besides Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, he believed Ōtsutsuki Hamura might also have such a doubt.

"The point you raised I had already considered from the very beginning, but this point I cannot completely guarantee to you, because I also do not know how to guarantee to you that I will not change after sitting upon this throne for a long stretch of time…"

"After I die, what on earth will this world become? I think this is not a question I should consider, because I am already a person who has left this world; what kind of change this world will undergo is not within my control… so I do not need to know so many things…"

Hashirama Senju said to Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo with an utterly calm expression,

and after Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo heard Hashirama Senju say this, he was even more struck dumb,
