The reanimation of the Sage of Six Paths was a success!
When Lin Xuan and the Turtle Sage witnessed this scene through the live broadcast, their spirits were instantly lifted.
The Turtle Sage stared intently at the two peculiar figures and asked, "Are those two the brothers you mentioned, the Sage of Six Paths?" Lin Xuan nodded and replied, "That's right! It's them!"
He didn't elaborate further, instead focusing intently on the live broadcast, curious about how the Sage of Six Paths brothers would react upon realizing they had been reanimated.
Meanwhile, in the Land of Hot Springs.
Whether it was Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Madara Uchiha, or even Jiraiya and the others, everyone's attention was drawn to the Sage of Six Paths brothers.
"These two... their presence is overwhelming!" Tsunade exclaimed in shock.
"Such powerful beings once existed in the shinobi world? This is unbelievable!" Minato Namikaze's eyes widened in astonishment.
"Hey, Orochimaru, who exactly are they?" Jiraiya shouted directly at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru gazed at the two figures before him, a mix of excitement and reverence surging through him. He smirked and said, "These two... are legendary, god-like existences!"
As soon as his words fell, the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, and his younger brother, Hamura Ōtsutsuki, abruptly opened their eyes.
Instantly, a pair of Rinnegan and a pair of Tenseigan appeared before everyone's eyes!
The surroundings erupted in an uproar!
"My God! Those are the Rinnegan?! Is he really the legendary Sage of Six Paths?!"
"And the other one... his eyes aren't the Byakugan? No, they seem different!"
"A never-before-seen dōjutsu? But they feel incredibly powerful!"
Meanwhile, the Sage of Six Paths brothers listened to the surrounding voices, their expressions darkening as they quickly assessed their current state.
"Brother, it seems we've been summoned back to the mortal world through some means," Hamura Ōtsutsuki said solemnly.
"Indeed. I never imagined we would return to this world in such a state," Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki sighed softly.
He had left behind contingencies in this world long ago, but he never expected that none of them would come into play. Instead, he had been forcibly summoned from the Pure Land.
Just then—
"Hamura! Hagoromo!"
A cold voice suddenly rang in their ears.
Their expressions changed drastically as they turned toward the source of the voice, their pupils contracting sharply!
"Mother!" they exclaimed simultaneously.
In that instant, they finally understood why they had been reanimated.
Feeling the overwhelming fury and killing intent emanating from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the two brothers immediately grasped the situation. At the same time, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, who had been battling Kaguya, swiftly retreated.
Madara even shouted, "She's all yours now!"
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: "..."
Hamura Ōtsutsuki: "..."
At that moment, they really wanted to grab Madara and the others and demand to know who had come up with such a terrible idea!
However, they had no time for that. As Madara and Hashirama retreated, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki lunged at them with terrifying speed!
Under such circumstances, no matter how unwilling Hagoromo was, he had no choice but to fight back.
But to his shock, his younger brother Hamura showed no intention of joining the battle. Instead, he quickly retreated!
In an instant, Hagoromo was overwhelmed by Kaguya's attacks, his reanimated body shattered multiple times!
While desperately fending off Kaguya's onslaught, Hagoromo shouted at his brother, "Hamura! What are you doing?!"
Hamura, however, wore a complex expression and said, "Brother, back then, we had no choice, but we already betrayed Mother once. This time, I refuse to fight. I don't want to betray her again!"
"What?!"
Whether it was Hagoromo, Madara, Hashirama, or the others, everyone was stunned by these words.
No one had expected Hamura Ōtsutsuki to refuse to fight!
Even Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was taken aback, though she merely snorted coldly and ignored Hamura, focusing solely on attacking Hagoromo!
Without Hamura's assistance, Hagoromo stood no chance against Kaguya. His reanimated body was soon torn to shreds!
However, shortly after the battle began, Kaguya seemed to suddenly realize something and coldly muttered, "Hmph, this is my precious land. I won't let you ruin it!"
With that, she dragged Hagoromo into one of her own dimensional spaces.
Outside, everything suddenly became eerily quiet.
But everyone knew this calm wouldn't last long. Once Kaguya defeated Hagoromo, she would undoubtedly return, and disaster would strike again!
With this thought in mind, everyone quickly gathered around Hamura Ōtsutsuki.
Hashirama Senju spoke solemnly, "Sir, will you truly stand by and watch the world be destroyed?"
Hamura glanced at him and sighed softly. "If possible, I don't wish to see that outcome either. But I truly cannot bring myself to raise a hand against Mother again."
"This..."
The group grew anxious but found themselves at a loss.
Hashirama clenched his fists in frustration. "After all our efforts... will we still fail in the end?"
"We won't fail!"
Madara Uchiha suddenly interjected, drawing everyone's attention.
He stared at Hamura and declared, "If he won't act, then we'll do it ourselves! Hmph, I refuse to believe we can't defeat her with our own strength!"
Hashirama's expression also hardened with resolve.
After all, the two of them still had another trump card—the Evil Containment Wave (Mafūba). They just needed to find the right opportunity.
Seeing their unwavering determination, Hamura fell silent for a moment before finally saying, "Very well. Then I shall lend you my aid. Whether you succeed or not will depend on your own fate."
