Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future

Chapter 635: Hagoromo’s Tender Heart



At this moment, in the Initial Ball Space.

Kaguya's lesson for Hagoromo, her 'filial son,' was nearing its end.

The ground was shattered, the sky torn, with residual chakra vortexes everywhere and colorful lightning flashes…

It was clear an intense battle had just taken place here.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

A few minutes ago.

Hagoromo was forcibly brought into the Initial Ball Space by Lux.

He had no idea how his mother, Kaguya, appeared here or escaped her seal.

But that aura, pressure, and soul fluctuation…

All were enough to prove his opponent was the true Rabbit Goddess: Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

After confirming Kaguya's identity, without hesitation, Hagoromo channeled all his remaining Six Paths power into Naruto's body, controlling him to fight in his stead.

He was clear—there was nothing to discuss with his mother.

Only defeating and resealing her would be the best outcome for the ninja world!

Meeting her son after a thousand years, Kaguya initially felt sorrow and longing, but Hagoromo's sudden attack as a filial son quickly disrupted it.

No choice.

Both sides clashed, engaging in fierce combat.

Naruto, with only Six Paths power and no Rinnegan, was at the lowest Six Paths combat level.

Kaguya, though not revived via Infinite Tsukuyomi, had absorbed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, making her naturally stronger.

Initially, Hagoromo's richer combat experience kept him from losing too quickly despite his inferior stats.

Unfortunately, after Lux's profound yet simple guidance, Kaguya's combat experience and style were far richer than before.

No longer as raw and crude as initially.

Though still behind Hagoromo and Isshiki, her superior stats gave her the edge!

Under stat suppression, Hagoromo was no match for Kaguya. In mere minutes, he was thoroughly defeated.

Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack shattered Susano'o, leaving Naruto dizzy and dazed.

Luckily, Kaguya held back, not intending to truly kill Naruto and Hagoromo.

Otherwise, Naruto, even with Hagoromo fighting for him, would've died long ago.

Forget other moves.

All-Killing Ash Bones alone could've destroyed Naruto…

When Lux returned, Naruto, controlled by Hagoromo, had been completely defeated by Kaguya.

Hagoromo's soul was forcibly expelled from Naruto's body by Kaguya, imprisoned beside a special Truth-Seeking Orb cage.

If Hagoromo dared escape or touch it, he'd be done for.

The defeated Hagoromo sighed, helplessly asking his mother:

"Mother, how did you revive?"

"Silence! You two imprisoned me for so long! Don't call me Mother anymore!"

Kaguya was clearly furious.

Recalling her betrayal by her two beloved sons, her heart ached, wanting to cry.

The long years sealed away were too lonely, too unbearable!

Now, reuniting with her filial son Hagoromo, he attacked her without hesitation.

Kaguya's heart, made of flesh, inevitably hurt more.

*👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻*

A crisp clapping sound rang out as Lux suddenly appeared beside Kaguya.

"Not bad! Much improved from before—this time was quite fast."

Lux was satisfied with Kaguya's performance, seeing this foolish daughter wasn't truly foolish; with proper guidance, her potential for growth was significant.

She'd defeated Hagoromo so quickly.

"This kid's average, not as good as you or Isshiki…" Kaguya answered honestly.

Compared to Lux and Isshiki's terror, Hagoromo's power through Naruto was mediocre.

It posed no threat to Kaguya.

"That's not a nice way to put it. Anyway, the gap isn't that big."

"Kaguya, go absorb the Six Paths power in that kid's body first."

Lux patted Kaguya, pointing at the unconscious Naruto nearby, signaling she could have her 'dinner.'

"Alright!"

Kaguya's brows lifted, her heart delighted.

Naruto's body held all of Hagoromo's Six Paths power, equivalent to most of the Juubi's strength—a chakra feast for Kaguya.

By absorbing Hagoromo's remaining chakra, she'd prevent the old man from causing trouble again.

This also aided Nagato's stability and unification in Parallel World 5.

It was a key reason Lux forcibly brought Hagoromo and Naruto into the Initial Ball Space.

Both to teach Hagoromo a lesson and to restore Kaguya's strength.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Seeing his mother obey Lux so unquestioningly, Hagoromo, in his soul state, widened his eyes, utterly shocked.

"Mother! You, you two—!"

He felt humiliated by his sudden drop in status, an unclear anger rising in his heart!

"What? Still not convinced?"

"…"

Hagoromo choked again.

He wanted to say something, realizing as a prisoner, he was powerless to accuse the other side.

"Can we talk?"

Hagoromo calmed his emotions, gradually steadying.

As a true god who'd lived so long, his recovery ability was strong; he quickly suppressed his unease, understanding what he needed to do.

"Finally calm. Alright, what do you want to talk about?"

Lux had no intent to kill Hagoromo; he was Kaguya's son, after all.

He didn't need to meddle in Hagoromo's affairs. Since Kaguya couldn't bear to kill him, Lux wouldn't force her.

"Can you spare that kid's life? He suffered this calamity because of me."

Hagoromo first pleaded for Naruto, hoping his mother wouldn't drain him completely.

Clearly, he still cared deeply and felt responsible for Naruto, Ashura's chakra reincarnation.

"Sure."

Lux viewed Hagoromo more favorably. Though he'd done foolish things unintentionally, he was fundamentally responsible.

Pleading for others first in his dire situation was rare.

Lux wasn't a good person but didn't reject good ones.

Even the slyest, most evil criminal doesn't want their kin or child to be as low as them.

"Kaguya, be careful. Don't drain the Kyuubi too—leave Naruto alive."

"Hm."

Kaguya happily devouring Six Paths power, nodded, indicating she remembered.

"Alright, let's talk next."

Lux looked at Hagoromo, beginning negotiations.

Hagoromo, stripped of Six Paths power and his vessel, was no longer a major threat.

But his value remained high.

He still controlled the Pure Land's souls. Plus, his Yin-Yang Techniques, Bijuu Creation and Separation, Pure Land Summoning, and other researched techniques…

All were valuable secret techniques. Acquiring them would be ideal.

Parallel World 4's Rikudō Sennin, though Lux knew him, appeared with good intentions, firmly supporting Minato, half-aligning with Konoha.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face—Lux felt uneasy being too harsh on Parallel World 4's Rikudō Sennin.

But Parallel World 5's Hagoromo here, as the defeated party, needed no such consideration.

He could be squeezed dry.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Minutes later, Lux and Hagoromo completed their initial information exchange.

Only then did Hagoromo truly learn that this self-proclaimed Tenshou Sennin could traverse space-time, even bringing figures from other space-times to another!

The two Uchiha Madaras earlier and his current mother Kaguya weren't from his world but from other space-times!

Though outrageous and unbelievable, it was the only logical explanation for their sudden appearances.

Hagoromo also learned from Lux about the conflict and enmity between Kaguya and the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

He understood why his mother frantically created White Zetsu—to counter potential future Ōtsutsuki pursuers.

Thus, grasping the full truth, Hagoromo completely gave up resisting.

An extraordinary Sennin freely traversing space-time, plus who-knows-how-many Kaguyas fighting alongside—why bother fighting!

Even at his peak with his brother Hamura, he'd have no chance of winning!

Moreover, stronger Ōtsutsuki enemies loomed ahead.

Let it go.

His Six Paths power was reclaimed by his mother; now just a frail, lonely ghost—what was the point!

After negotiations, Lux and Hagoromo reached a cooperation agreement.

Hagoromo agreed to hand over all his secret techniques. In exchange, Lux would resolve Kaguya's issue in Parallel World 5.

To Hagoromo, preventing his mother's revival and another Infinite Tsukuyomi killing the ninja world was enough.

Whether she revived wasn't the top priority.

Deep down, Hagoromo still wanted to revive Kaguya.

At least to try—could the mother after a thousand years negotiate? Had she changed?

This was why he intentionally or unintentionally let Madara be betrayed by Black Zetsu.

Otherwise, if he'd truly tried to stop it, neither Obito nor Madara could've become Juubi Jinchuriki.

Thus, if given a choice, Hagoromo didn't want his mother eternally sealed in the moon.

Now, it seemed the Kaguya from another space-time lived well beside the Tenshou Sennin, not rampaging or anything.

Though odd to say, Hagoromo was glad his mother found a good place to belong.

Besides, even if dissatisfied, he lacked the power to resist now!

He could only compromise and yield…

As for future Ōtsutsuki enemies, that was up to the ninja world to face.

Hagoromo knew he couldn't defeat all enemies alone.

Future foes like Isshiki were beyond his ability to overcome…
