Kazuki hadn't expected Hagoromo to have such a past.
What is this?
Is it a melodramatic fantasy plot projected into reality?
Oh, no, it's not just that, but even those clichéd struggles between legitimate and illegitimate children have appeared in the Ninja World.
Indeed, even Hagoromo had his own preferences. Indra wasn't just trying to gain his father's approval and inherit Ninshu, he also wanted to legitimize his mother.
This time, Kazuki was full from eating gossip. This taste is really good.
Not to mention Kazuki, even Minato was stunned listening to it. So Hagoromo, or what they called the Sage of Six Paths, had such a history.
"So the Sage of Six Paths has always provided them with a certain degree of protection?" Kazuki narrowed his eyes and asked.
"It's not just that. In fact, one of Asura's daughters also married into the Daimyo family later, so the Daimyo side has always had a good relationship with the Senju Clan." Gamamaru spoke eloquently.
"As for now, besides the Senju clan, the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon might also have connections with them, as Hamura's wife back then was also related to the Daimyo."
Kazuki nodded in understanding. Goodness, both Hagoromo and Hamura were connected to the Daimyo.
"However, this is already a matter of hundreds or thousands of years ago. Hagoromo wouldn't continue to protect them, but I don't know what the situation is like now." Gamamaru continued.
"I generally understand, thank you." Kazuki smiled.
"Next, I ask that you pay more attention to information about Isshiki. Of course, if you find him, do not act rashly. I feel I'm probably not Isshiki's match yet."
"Isshiki! If there is a need, Mount Myōboku is willing to do its utmost to help you." Gamamaru nodded slightly.
Kazuki touched his eyes and said, "Oh, by the way, if possible, I would like to learn Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode, and also learn how to use Mount Myōboku's Senjutsu."
Kazuki's words stunned Fukasaku and Shima on the side.
Goodness, Kazuki really dared to say that.
Kazuki was not a successor of Mount Myōboku, but of Shikkotsu Forest, yet he wanted to learn Mount Myōboku's Senjutsu. How could they remain calm?
"You can. Shima, Fukasaku, teach Kazuki Mount Myōboku's Senjutsu. Teach him everything that can be taught."
To Shima and Fukasaku's astonishment, Gamamaru actually agreed.
"Unfortunately, when Hagoromo created his own Sage Mode, I did not keep the corresponding inheritance. Asura should have learned most of it, so you should be able to fully learn it."
Thinking of Hagoromo's Sage Mode back then, Gamamaru felt it was a pity.
After Hagoromo awakened his Rinnegan and mastered Sage Mode, he initially possessed the strength to fight Kaguya.
Gamamaru should be the person who understood the Sage of Six Paths the most. In fact, Kazuki's physique and talent were not inferior to Hagoromo's, but Hagoromo had advantages that Kazuki did not.
That was, he had come into contact with the Ten-Tails and felt the Ten-Tails' aura. The Ten-Tails also absorbed Natural Energy.
At the same time, Kazuki believed that the Ninja World actually had a special consciousness. Hagoromo and Hamura were born after Kaguya received a blessing.
It was very normal for the Ninja World to specifically give Hagoromo a boost in order to protect itself at that time.
Hagoromo indeed had more advantages than Kazuki.
However, the current situation was different, and it was unknown whether Kazuki could master the Six Paths Sage Mode like Hagoromo.
"Then thank you very much, Gamamaru."
Kazuki was somewhat regretful about not being able to learn the Sage of Six Paths's Sage Mode.
The Sage of Six Paths's Sage Mode was different from the Sage Modes of the Three Great Sage Regions. He not only referenced Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode but also drew upon the Ten-Tails' situation. Kazuki strongly suspected that Hagoromo had researched Ten-Tails' power and specifically developed this power.
Now, being unable to learn this Sage Mode, Kazuki felt a bit of regret.
Since their great elder had spoken, Fukasaku and Shima naturally said nothing more.
...
In the following days, Shima and Fukasaku experienced what a true genius was. If Kazuki could quickly learn Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode, Shima and Fukasaku could actually understand it.
After all, he had already mastered Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Mode. However, he also learned how to use Mount Myōboku's Senjutsu in less than an afternoon, which made Shima and Fukasaku question life.
Why was the gap between people so great?
Previously, Jiraiya had studied at Mount Myōboku for two and a half years, but he still couldn't learn Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode. Even with the help of the two sages, entering Sage Mode was not easy.
"Kazuki!"
After returning to Konoha, Minato looked at Kazuki with a hesitant expression.
"Just say whatever you want directly. We are good friends." Kazuki chuckled softly.
"Does today's matter need to be kept secret?" Minato asked hesitantly.
He hadn't expected that he would come to know such things, the Ninja World hid such deep waters. He believed that even Hiruzen was unaware of these secrets, but he knew them.
Should Konoha start preparing early?
The opponent was someone even the current Kazuki had no confidence in defeating.
"There's no need for special secrecy, and no need to spread it, because what can you do even if you know? It's just worrying for nothing. Don't think my current strength is great. To true powerhouses, I am just an ant."
Kazuki laughed self-deprecatingly, having already compared himself to Shibai in his mind.
He couldn't beat him.
