That was right.
Hagoromo had originally been confident.
But after watching Urashiki get tortured and killed by Uchiha Ren without even the strength to fight back, both Hagoromo and Hamura felt a chill crawl up their backs.
They knew how strong Urashiki was.
Especially after seeing his golden Rinnegan, six-tomoe Rinnegan, and Byakugan, even they had inwardly admitted that he was formidable. Even if Urashiki could not defeat Ren, surely he could escape.
As long as Urashiki escaped, everything would still remain uncertain.
But what happened?
After becoming the Ten-Tails jinchūriki, Uchiha Ren killed Urashiki with ease. Not only that, he also absorbed the ocular power of Urashiki's golden Rinnegan, six-tomoe Rinnegan, and Byakugan.
That scene left both Hagoromo and Hamura cold all over.
They had known Ren was strong.
But they had never expected him to beco this terrifying after becoming the Ten-Tails jinchūriki.
Because of that, Hagoromo's anger died down almost instantly.
Hamura was right.
If their hidden space shattered, Ren might discover them.
And if that happened, they might be erased before their own plans could even begin.
"Hah…"
Seeing Hagoromo calm down, Hamura finally released a breath of relief.
Before their own Ten-Tails was revived, they absolutely could not defeat Uchiha Ren.
They had to endure.
Even if they reached the limit of endurance, they still had to endure.
"One day, I'll make Uchiha Ren pay."
After a long silence, Hagoromo drew a deep breath, suppressing both his anger and fear.
"He killed mbers of the Ōtsutsuki main family. His good days are over."
"Yes. Exactly."
Hamura quickly nodded.
"The main family's strength is unfathomable. Uchiha Ren has stabbed a hornet's nest. By now, the Ōtsutsuki main family must be furious."
"Hmph. Then we'll watch and see."
Perhaps Hamura's words had touched the right nerve. Hagoromo snorted coldly, and his expression gradually returned to calm.
No matter what, he was still the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
He would not admit defeat so easily.
And in truth—
after Kinshiki and Urashiki's life signatures vanished, the Ōtsutsuki main family erupted like a thirteen-magnitude earthquake.
No one had expected it.
Kinshiki and Urashiki had gone to Earth to deal with Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Instead, they had been killed.
That was not normal.
To put it bluntly, even if Kaguya had grown stronger, she should not have been able to kill Urashiki and Kinshiki without giving them even the chance to escape.
Sothing was wrong.
Deeply wrong.
The entire Ōtsutsuki clan grounds shook with shock.
And among them, the one who found it hardest to believe was Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki.
Sending Urashiki and Kinshiki to Earth as the advance force had been a decision made on impulse.
Who would have thought those two useless fools would fail so thoroughly?
Not only had they failed to scout properly—
they had gotten themselves killed.
At this mont, inside the Ōtsutsuki main family's eting hall—
"Urashiki and Kinshiki's auras have vanished. It seems they were destroyed completely, body and soul."
"How vicious. Since when did Kaguya dare act so brazenly?"
"They were killed before they could even use Karma. That's far too strange."
"Earth must be destroyed. Kaguya must die."
"The Ōtsutsuki clan's divine authority cannot be violated. This ti, Kaguya must learn the terror of the main family."
The higher-ups of the Ōtsutsuki main family all wore ugly expressions as they spoke one after another, their words filled with anger and contempt toward Kaguya.
Of course—
after Kinshiki and Urashiki died, everyone in the main family assud the culprit was Kaguya, the traitor of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Just like what had happened with Isshiki.
"How is that possible?"
"Has Kaguya really beco that strong?"
Momoshiki sat there silently, her expression stiff.
Though she said nothing, the look on her face made it clear that her heart was far from calm.
With Urashiki and Kinshiki's strength, going to Earth to deal with Kaguya should have been effortless.
But the truth was—
both of them were dead.
That was a slap straight across Momoshiki's face.
"Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, don't you owe us an explanation?"
At that mont, one of the main family elders seed to think of sothing. He slamd his palm against the table and snapped,
"Why didn't you go to Earth with Urashiki and Kinshiki?"
"Exactly."
Another elder imdiately followed, his voice cold.
"Every mber of the Ōtsutsuki main family is precious. Now two have died at once. You must give us an explanation."
"Momoshiki, why didn't you go to Earth?"
"Now Urashiki and Kinshiki are dead. What exactly happened?"
"Why has Kaguya beco so strong?"
With two elders taking the lead, the rest of the Ōtsutsuki higher-ups also began speaking coldly.
Their aning was simple.
Momoshiki had to explain herself.
Otherwise—
she would bear the consequences.
