Chapter 154: The Brothers' Scheme and the Truth Behind the Ōtsutsuki
"Big Brother, everything is up to you."
Upon hearing this, Ōtsutsuki Hamura's expression changed slightly before he spoke in a deep voice,
"We two brothers have endured for so long. Now, it's finally time to close the net."
"Heh…"
A cold glint flashed in the indifferent eyes of the Sage of Six Paths.
"That foolish mother thinks this is still the ninja world she once ruled. She's seriously underestimating us."
"This time… let's make sure she truly disappears forever."
After saying that, his face remained cold and disdainful.
After all, as the first Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails and the pioneer who unlocked the true essence of Chakra, the Sage of Six Paths had long since reached the pinnacle of control over the ninja world.
Therefore—
Regarding the existence of Black Zetsu,
The Sage of Six Paths had always been aware.
Even though it was Black Zetsu who had secretly manipulated his sons, Indra and Asura, he had known all along.
But… the Sage never exposed this.
Because he was using the entire ninja world as a chessboard, and even Indra and Asura were nothing more than pawns in his grand plan.
However—
Plans can't keep up with change.
Now that Uchiha Yuta has emerged,
Everything the Sage of Six Paths had carefully planned has been thrown into disarray. He can now only proceed one uncertain step at a time.
"That's right, Brother!"
Suddenly, Ōtsutsuki Hamura seemed to recall something, and his gaze turned icy as he asked meaningfully,
"Madara Uchiha, whom Black Zetsu resurrected, possesses the Rinnegan. Do you think he can defeat Uchiha Yuta?"
"Absolutely not."
The Sage of Six Paths shook his head without hesitation.
"Why?" Hamura asked, clearly puzzled. "With Madara's strength, combined with the power of the Rinnegan, he should be capable of putting up a good fight."
"The gap is far too wide."
The Sage frowned and sighed,
"Uchiha Yuta has absorbed the power of the Giant Reincarnation Eye on the Moon and awakened a pair of mythical Tenseigan."
Even he, the Sage of Six Paths, found it difficult to believe.
Back in his time, he had tried to merge the Rinnegan and Byakugan abilities to create the Tenseigan, but…
He failed.
No matter how many attempts he made, the concept remained theoretical—impossible to achieve.
Eventually, even the Sage gave up, believing the Tenseigan was only a myth.
But now—
After absorbing the pupil power of the Giant Reincarnation Eye, Uchiha Yuta awakened the Tenseigan,
A feat that directly slapped the Sage's beliefs in the face.
"Tenseigan…?"
Ōtsutsuki Hamura's expression twitched violently, but he wisely chose to remain silent.
After all, Uchiha Yuta's ability to awaken the Tenseigan stemmed directly from the Giant Reincarnation Eye left by the Ōtsutsuki clan on the Moon.
So in essence—
He himself, as an ancestor of the Ōtsutsuki clan, bore undeniable responsibility.
"Enough," said the Sage of Six Paths after a few moments. He coldly changed the topic.
"Continue monitoring that Ōtsutsuki vessel—Jigen."
"Hmm."
Upon hearing the name, Hamura's expression turned serious.
"Jigen remains extremely low-key. He hasn't made any overt moves, only gathering a few subordinates and establishing a shadowy group called the Kara Organization."
"Kara, huh…"
The Sage of Six Paths exhaled slowly, eyes unreadable.
"Forming an organization means he's starting to lose patience."
"I understand," Hamura nodded solemnly.
Back when their mother was sealed through their efforts and deception, the two brothers discovered secrets she had long kept hidden.
Thousands of years ago—
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and his retainer, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, descended to Earth.
Their mission: to cultivate a Ten-Tails into a Divine Tree, in order to complete their clan's cosmic plan.
Isshiki intended to sacrifice Kaguya, who was ranked lower, as nourishment for the Divine Tree.
But at the final moment, Kaguya betrayed him and inflicted a severe injury.
In the end, she used more than half of Isshiki's body to nourish the tree and,
Using a secret technique—Sukunahikona,
Isshiki shrunk himself and barely survived, eventually parasitizing a human vessel as a Kāma (wedge).
As for this "wedge"—
It is a unique technique of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Once implanted, a strange blue-black seal appears on the vessel's body, enhancing their power.
Depending on the user's attributes, the seal evolves in different ways.
In the known records, only Jigen, Kawaki, and Boruto Uzumaki have been shown to bear this mark.
"Alright, that's enough for now."
No one knew how much time passed before the Sage of Six Paths exhaled again, a deep light flashing through his Rinnegan.
"No matter what, we two brothers will always be the final victors—"
"Just like when we sealed our mother, Kaguya."
"Yes."
Ōtsutsuki Hamura's Rinnegan glinted with a chilling aura as he nodded firmly.
At the same time,
In the depths of the universe—
BOOOOOM!!!
A blinding white light burst forth—
A planet, equal in size to Earth, was instantly reduced to cosmic dust.
"The Divine Tree cultivation failed,"
Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki said coldly as he looked at the ruins of the destroyed planet.
"This world held no value."
"Indeed..."
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki added coldly,
"Let's continue searching for unclaimed planets and work on cultivating new Divine Trees. We must complete the Ōtsutsuki clan's mission."
"Agreed."
Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki gave a sinister grin.
Suddenly—
Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, who had remained silent all this time, sensed something.
A hint of excitement entered his voice as he said:
"There's no need to search further."
"I've found where the disgrace of the Ōtsutsuki clan is hiding."
