Chapter 724

Looking at Chōjūrō, Temari, Kurotsuchi, Darui, Haruno Sakura, Naruto, and Hitsugaya Tōshirō, the Six Paths Sage, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, felt a hint of helplessness.

Seeing the expression on the Six Paths Sage Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's face, Hitsugaya Tōshirō smiled slightly—it was enough for him.

It was not in vain that he had brought Chōjūrō, Temari, Kurotsuchi, Darui, and Haruno Sakura to the Pure Land.

Because Hitsugaya Tōshirō knew that if only he had come to the Pure Land, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo would never have left.

But now, seeing Chōjūrō, Temari, Kurotsuchi, Darui, and Haruno Sakura—the next generation of the Shinobi World—came to seek his aid.

Thus, even if Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo refused, he had no choice left.

As for the younger brother Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo mentioned, Hitsugaya Tōshirō paid it no mind, for he already knew from Lin Cheng that Ōtsutsuki Hamura, Hagoromo's younger brother, had been put to sleep by the Primordial Black Diabolo.

As long as the seal on Ōtsutsuki Kaguya remained unbroken, Ōtsutsuki Hamura would not appear before them.

"Six Paths Sage, I have one more request: could you persuade the other two Sages of the Summoning Realm to join us?"

"I know the other two Sages may be unwilling to involve themselves in this, but for us, there is no alternative—this is not merely a battle between Shinobi Worlds."

"This is a battle over whether the Shinobi World will be destroyed, so I believe those Sages must have a vital role to play."

Hearing Hitsugaya Tōshirō's words, Chōjūrō, Temari, Kurotsuchi, Darui, and Haruno Sakura all nodded.

Though this was their first time meeting the Six Paths Sage Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, Chōjūrō, Temari, Kurotsuchi, Darui, and Haruno Sakura held deep respect for the progenitor of the Shinobi World and the origin of ninjas, the Six Paths Sage Ōtsutsuki Hamura.

Chōjūrō, Temari, Kurotsuchi, Darui, and Haruno Sakura also believed the Six Paths Sage Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo had the power to convince the reluctant Toad Sage and Snake Sage to join the battle.

"If it concerns the Shinobi World, as long as Slug and Gamamaru say so, Gamamaru will join—rest assured."

"The only uncertain one is that Snake Sage—he rarely appears anymore, and though I don't know why, I know he is the strongest among the three Sages."

"I will make sure he joins this battle—don't worry."

"But you must return to the real world now. Though the Pure Land has little effect on you, your bodies will age rapidly—if you don't return soon, you'll be in danger."

"I'll send you back to your bodies."

Looking at Chōjūrō, Temari, Kurotsuchi, Darui, Haruno Sakura, and Naruto, Ōtsutsuki Hamura's gaze softened.

He could tell that Chōjūrō, Temari, Kurotsuchi, Darui, Haruno Sakura, and Naruto had come here with their souls separated from their bodies.

So for him, he did not wish to lose valuable combat power before the battle even began.

"In that case, we're in your hands—I'm not familiar with the Pure Land and couldn't find my way back to the mortal world on my own."

Seeing the Six Paths Sage Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's expression, Hitsugaya Tōshirō nodded—he knew such aid was essential.
