I have a bunch of relatives who want to become Hokage.

Suddenly, the silhouette of a person appeared in the air.

The person walked towards Hagoromo Otsutsuki, becoming clearer with each step.

When he reached Hagoromo Otsutsuki, his form was fully revealed.

"Long time no see, Sage of Six Paths."

Uchiha Shingen looked at this mythical figure. He had been arguing with Uchiha Madara outside until his throat was practically burning. If Matatabi hadn't told him that Otsutsuki Hagoromo had arrived, he wouldn't have been distracted and come over.

It's truly unbelievable that Madara Uchiha would plan to use Kinshiki Otsutsuki to plant trees!

Believe it or not, this is extremely feasible!

Perhaps it's time to let Madara Uchiha meet his ancestors.

Chapter 131 An Unexpected Joy

After exchanging a greeting of "Long time no see," Uchiha Shingen and Otsutsuki Hagoromo did not receive a warm exchange of greetings, but instead fell into silence.

The main problem is that we don't have much of a relationship, so there's no way to show enthusiasm.

Therefore, Uchiha Shingen had no choice but to break the silence.

He's too busy to waste time.

But he was genuinely curious as to why the Sage of Six Paths wanted to see him.

"Immortal, is there something you need?"

Hearing Uchiha Shingen's dry question, Otsutsuki Hagoromo also felt a little troubled.

We never used to have such awkward conversations. After all, once you say something like "You have my son's chakra," it naturally brings us closer.

But this trick didn't work on Uchiha Shingen because he knew the inside story and knew it from the beginning.

This person spent a lifetime searching for him, although it only worked in the second lifetime.

Of course, neither side achieved the desired outcome from their meeting.

Uchiha Shingen didn't get anything from him, and he couldn't get Uchiha Shingen to act according to his ideas.

"Shingen, you have truly made a very bold decision," Hagoromo Otsutsuki sighed. "The safety of this world rests entirely on Mother's decision."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki currently has no means to control his mother.

After all, all his preparations were based on one premise—that the chakra reincarnations of his two sons had grown to a full maturity and that they had a deep bond with each other, so that they could reproduce the power of Six Paths: Planetary Devastation, just like he and Hamura had done back then.

But this premise no longer exists.

The bonds are strong, but the growth potential is problematic.

It's not that they're not growing well, but rather that they're growing too slowly.

Which of the previous chakra reincarnations didn't level up like a rocket? And they were extremely skilled in battle, especially in harsh environments.

This generation grew up in a completely sugar-coated environment.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki did not believe that this situation was Uchiha Shingen's fault.

He believed it was Madara Uchiha's fault; if the previous Indra chakra reincarnation hadn't survived for decades, this reincarnation wouldn't have been born so late.

“Sage, your words are disrespectful to the actual situation.” Uchiha Shingen shook his head. “If it were just Kaguya-hime saying this, it would make some sense, but now, the Otsutsuki clan’s reinforcements have come from beyond the heavens, and they must have brought the Ten-Tails with them.”

It seems that this immortal exhausted himself after using all his accumulated power on Kaguya Otsutsuki.

What's the point of such preparation?

"My lord, if I may ask, in your plan, it couldn't have been that Kaguya-hime was the only one from the beginning, could it?"

“That’s right.” Hagoromo Otsutsuki nodded. “In Black Zetsu’s plan to revive Mother, there is no place for any other Otsutsuki. This is because Chibaku Tensei can perfectly conceal Mother’s aura. Mother and Isshiki just randomly found this place. This makes it very difficult for the Otsutsuki clan to find this planet again.”

"It's difficult, but not certain," Uchiha Shingen said. "It's only a matter of time before they come looking for us. Now that they've shown up, do you have any suggestions?"

That's ridiculous! That reason doesn't make any sense at all. Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed away, but Isshiki Otsutsuki is still there.

As a result, after all these years, Hagoromo Otsutsuki has not been able to defeat Isshiki Otsutsuki.

The Sage of Six Paths' plan was riddled with flaws.

This is certainly not because he lacks strategy, but because his concern for his mother outweighs everything else.

"Since we're already here," said Hagoromo Otsutsuki, quoting a famous Chinese saying, "of course, we're going to suppress them. I've already sealed one away, and you've defeated another, so now there's only one left. Otsutsuki Toneri and Mother are attacking him."

"There's another one?" Uchiha Shingen asked, somewhat surprised. "He also discovered the child on the moon?"

At his age, it wouldn't be a problem for him to call Otsutsuki Toneri a child.

Although he's a naughty kid.

"Perhaps. After all, the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki clan has very strong insight. In short, the threat of the Otsutsuki clan is no longer a problem. As for Mother, I hope to get your answer."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shingen knew that this sage had always suffered from maternal phobia.

"Once there's a first wave, there will be a second. This won't stop unless the entire Otsutsuki clan is wiped out. There are more important things outside."

Uchiha Shingen felt a headache coming on just thinking about Uchiha Madara, who seemed to have been rejuvenated.

"Is there anything more important than Mother? Shingen, you don't understand..." Hagoromo Otsutsuki shook his head, deciding to give a brief explanation and share some useful information.

"Whether you understand or not is not important. All I know is that Princess Kaguya didn't make a move against the tailed beast in front of her, but your son's former reincarnation is about to plant a tree." Uchiha Shingen interrupted the Sage of Six Paths with a wave of his hand and continued, "The guy we captured on the ground has an ability similar to space-time ninjutsu. I estimate that the Ten-Tails is in his space."

He knew from Kaguya Otsutsuki that the planting of the Ten-Tails was a one-time event.

Kinshiki Otsutsuki's abilities are almost identical to Obito Uchiha's. Shingen Uchiha would never believe that he didn't have his own unique alternate dimension.

Madara Uchiha was even less convinced, after all, he was the one who trained Obito Uchiha, and he didn't believe that there could be much difference between the two eye techniques.

If it weren't for the fact that the Impure World Reincarnation technique can't be used to store other people's eyeballs, he would have done it long ago.

If Uchiha Shingen hadn't been there, he would have already gone to Nagato to use Rinne Rebirth.

Shingen Uchiha didn't actually mind Madara Uchiha being resurrected through the Rinne Rebirth technique, but Madara Uchiha, with his mind full of ideas about multiple paths, was even more dangerous than in the original timeline.

As for why things turned out this way, the captured Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki played a crucial role.

This "honest" fellow revealed the secrets of the Chakra Tree on the spot.

This was a very successful "provocative" move; at least Madara Uchiha and Shingen Uchiha had a serious disagreement on this matter.

"The Ten-Tails? They brought the Ten-Tails?" Hagoromo Otsutsuki stopped posing.

Due to preconceived notions, he didn't actually learn much about the Otsutsuki clan from his mother, or at least not all of it.

He couldn't accept his mother's habit of hanging people on trees all the time; in his eyes, the Chakra Tree was an evil thing.

Moreover, when he was born, the Chakra God Tree had already grown and become an object of worship for everyone, which made him subconsciously believe that this thing was very rare, and even the Otsutsuki clan did not have many of them.

As the relationship between mother and son deteriorated, Kaguya Otsutsuki indeed did not tell him that this thing was very rare, and only the main family possessed the technology to cultivate the Ten-Tails, but in the Otsutsuki expedition team, there was at least one small Ten-Tails.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki stopped sitting on the ball and stood on the ground, just like Shingen Uchiha.

"We must stop it!" he said sternly. "You don't understand, this thing must never be allowed to appear again!"

“Then I’ll need your help.” Uchiha Shingen spread his hands. “I can’t stop Uchiha Madara by myself.”

This trip was worthwhile; it was a pleasant surprise, and I easily got free help.

Chapter 132 The Confident Madara Uchiha

If there's anyone in this world who could make Madara Uchiha give up his unrealistic dream, it would probably only be the Sage of Six Paths, his nominal ancestor.

Although Uchiha Shingen had doubts about the claim that he could be persuaded verbally.

After all, Madara Uchiha's greatest strength and weakness were the same—he was incredibly confident!

This can be seen from his later departure from Konoha.

He never really changed; he simply chose friends over ideals.

But when he discovered that Hashirama Senju was bound by the position of "Hokage" and was no longer the friend he could open his heart to, he abandoned the place he had built with his own hands.

Uchiha Shingen didn't even have time to greet the tailed beasts. After discussing things with Otsutsuki Hagoromo, he hurriedly left the spiritual world.

In the real world at this moment, Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Madara were "facing off".

As this spirit returned, Uchiha Shingen learned of everything that had happened in the spiritual world, and his heart calmed down.

Even the sealed Otsutsuki Kinshiki on the ground now looked handsome and refined.

However, the seal on Kinshiki Otsutsuki was not created by him, but by Madara Uchiha.

"Judging from your expression, you still have a shadow clone outside?" Madara Uchiha smiled slightly. "So, have you made up your mind? Will you join me, or become my official enemy?"

Kinshiki Otsutsuki's methods were low-level, but he didn't mind.

Ultimately, he needed the Chakra God Tree, but he didn't want to possess its power.

Kinshiki Otsutsuki's words were vague and he was definitely hiding something, but as long as the Chakra God Tree could achieve his goal, he didn't care.

No matter what obstacles there may be, just break through them.

"Clan Chief Madara, the Chakra Tree must never reappear; it will drain this land dry," said Uchiha Shingen. "Infinite Tsukuyomi is a technique for creating biological weapons; there is no such thing as peace with it."

"It seems this matter has crossed your bottom line," Madara Uchiha said with interest. "That's quite rare. However, your certainty about the effects of the Infinite Tsukuyomi is tantamount to denying the stone tablet passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan. This is not something that someone leading the clan should do now."

“Shisui is leading the clan now.” Uchiha Shingen glanced at Otsutsuki Kinshiki on the ground and began to think about how to find an opportunity to gouge out those eyes.

or……

Suddenly, Madara Uchiha flicked his foot, and a gust of wind carried Kinshiki Otsutsuki to a sideways movement. Almost instantly, a sharp earth spear shot out from where Kinshiki Otsutsuki had been standing.

“You can’t kill it, Shingen,” Madara Uchiha laughed. “Since you can’t produce any evidence, this creature is a treasure.”

"It's better to kill the invaders from beyond the heavens." Uchiha Shingen had already silently pressed against them, his five fingers glowing with a blue light.

Kinshiki Otsutsuki doesn't have the ability to absorb chakra; he relies on spacetime power to become immune to attacks. However, sealing techniques are indiscriminate in their effectiveness.

If we're talking about something that conventional sealing techniques can't seal, it's only the Rinnegan, which Kinshiki Otsutsuki can't.

Whether the alternate dimension possessed by the user of the eye technique and the things within it will disappear along with it when the user dies is something Uchiha Shingen doesn't know, but he's willing to try his luck.

The blue light left a scratch mark on Kinshiki Otsutsuki's body, but could not penetrate any further.

Because Madara Uchiha blocked Shingen Uchiha's path.
