The voice was very familiar to him; it was undoubtedly the Six Paths Sage's voice.
"Uchiha En, we want to talk to Mother," the Six Paths Sage explained his intention in Uchiha En's mind.
Uchiha En frowned upon hearing this. Why was the Six Paths Sage suddenly appearing to talk to Kaguya at this moment? There didn't seem to be such a plot in the original work, right?
"Uchiha En, we heard all your previous conversations with Mother. We never considered these matters before, but now we want to understand Mother's thoughts from back then.
Perhaps if we communicate with Mother, the situation might be different. Do you think we should talk to Mother?"
"You're asking for my opinion?" Uchiha En's expression was a bit strange.
"Yes, you are different from us; you are human, and human emotions are richer than ours."
"Uh, then I'll just talk about my views. To be honest, when I was fighting Kaguya, I noticed that she still has very deep feelings for you two brothers.
It's just that her fear of the Ōtsutsuki Clan gave rise to a craving for power, which gradually made her greedy. You two brothers didn't notice this, simply thinking your mother had changed, which is very unfair to her.
And you must also have a deep attachment to your mother, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come to stop me just because of my words," Uchiha En asked with a smile.
Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo nodded, but his expression was somewhat melancholic at the moment, as he had never had the experience of sitting down and talking face-to-face with his mother, so he didn't know how to converse.
"Brother, some things are better made clear with Mother. We brothers have been avoiding this for so many years; it's time to face it," Ōtsutsuki Hamura said, walking over as Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo was hesitating about how to communicate with Kaguya.
"Hamura, do you think Mother will listen to us?"
"I don't know, but if we don't speak, Mother certainly won't know our thoughts, let alone listen to us."
Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo fell silent for a moment, then agreed.
Seeing Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo agree, Ōtsutsuki Hamura quickly said, "Uchiha En, please stop for now!"
Uchiha En nodded, and with a thought, the giant made of ice stopped its attack.
Kaguya was startled, looking at Uchiha En and questioning, "Uchiha En, what are you plotting now?"
Uchiha En smiled and pointed to Kaguya's right. Kaguya frowned, turning around warily, and saw the two figures she had longed for.
To meet Kaguya, the Hagoromo Brothers also reverted their appearances to their younger selves. Seeing these two familiar figures, Kaguya's emotions instantly surged.
The mother and two sons stared at each other for a long time, until Ōtsutsuki Hamura finally spoke, "Mother, long time no see."
Kaguya's expression softened even more upon hearing this. She slowly floated to the Hagoromo Brothers, reaching out to touch them.
But as she got closer to the two brothers, Kaguya remembered the scene when they sealed her years ago, and her outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
Kaguya hesitated, then distanced herself from the two brothers, asking coldly, "Do you want to seal me again?"
Seeing Kaguya's actions, the two brothers also felt pained. Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo quickly said, "No, Mother! We don't mean that; we just want to talk to you."
"Talk? Talk about what?" Kaguya asked warily.
Hagoromo and Hamura exchanged glances, then said, "We want to know your thoughts all this time.
Uchiha En said before that we never understood you, never expressed our thoughts to you. Today, I want to know how you've always viewed this world, and how you've viewed us two brothers?
Similarly, we will also tell you our views on you."
Kaguya's expression became complicated upon hearing this. After a long silence, she said, "My thoughts have never changed, neither towards you nor towards this world.
In my opinion, I killed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and didn't drain this world dry. Under these circumstances, I ate the God Tree fruit, so this world should be mine, the Chakra of this world should be mine, and the people of this world should regard me as a god.
Therefore, whatever I do is right. If it weren't for me, this world would have been completely drained by the God Tree, and humanity would have long ceased to exist.
Since this world is mine, I also have the obligation to protect it. That's why I used the Infinite Tsukuyomi to turn those who resisted me into White Zetsu, which both punished those people and created an army to resist the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
As for you, I have always loved you very, very much. You are my sons, and also the masters of this world."
The Hagoromo Brothers exchanged glances upon hearing this, then both sighed.
After an exchange of glances, Ōtsutsuki Hamura said, "Mother, do you know what we think? We never wanted to be the masters of this world.
This world doesn't just belong to us; it belongs to every living creature on it. Mother, you are too greedy."
No sooner had Ōtsutsuki Hamura finished speaking than Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo continued, "Mother, it wasn't just your greed that made us choose to resist you.
We were born in this world and grew up with its people; they are all our friends. Yet, these people were turned into White Zetsu by you because of a word, an incident. We pleaded with you, but you never listened.
Your stubbornness and arrogance made Hamura and me feel that you were very, very distant from us, and your image in our eyes became increasingly terrifying. That's why we chose to seal you—to save this world and to give ourselves a chance to atone for you."
"Hmph! I am not wrong, nor do I need atonement. Before, Uchiha En said something that I didn't quite believe, but I never thought you two brothers would actually feel sympathy for a bunch of ants, and even think that I was wrong!"
"Isn't that so? We've made it very clear that this world doesn't belong to you alone."
Kaguya said nothing more after hearing the Hagoromo Brothers' words. She knew that her ideology was completely at odds with her sons'.
No matter what, she was still a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Ōtsutsuki Clan members were inherently proud and arrogant, and naturally looked down on the natives of the Ninja World.
Just like Otsutsuki Urashiki and Takegami Ōtsutsuki.
When Uchiha En fought them, the way those two guys kept calling them "natives" showed their attitude.
