Although Hamura hid his feelings well, women like Mrs. Yukinoshita and Eri, who had been dealing with people for years, could immediately see the elder's distrust of Makoto.
They exchanged a glance and simultaneously stepped half a forward, ready to say a few good words for Makoto.
However, Makoto had already spoken again.
"Before your mother was sealed away by you brothers, she also left you a third brother."
"Right now, that guy is trying to revive your mother on Earth."
Upon hearing this, Hamura's expression changed dramatically.
Strong emotional fluctuations appeared for the first time on that deeply wrinkled face. His pupils contracted to pinprick size.
'Before Mother was sealed, she left behind another younger brother?'
'How could I not know this?'
He stared intently at Makoto, a sharp glint flashing in his white eyes, clearly judging whether this young man's words were true or false.
He suspected Makoto had fabricated this lie to make him power up the two girls.
But what if it was true?
"Do you want me to stop him?"
The smile at the corner of Makoto's mouth was meaningful.
"Or do you want to push me to his side, to help him revive your mother?"
Hamura, reduced to a mere lingering remnant of his soul, rolled his eyes fiercely.
'Damn. He's threatening me.'
He had lived for so many years… well, been dead for so many years, and this was the first time he had ever encountered someone like this.
However, being an ancient monster who had helped usher in an era alongside the Sage of Six Paths, Hamura wasn't so easily fooled.
He took a deep breath to calm himself and said in a deep voice:
"If Mother revives, she will reclaim all the Chakra in this world, including yours."
His Tenseigan stared directly at Makoto, a hint of testing in his tone.
"Reviving Mother... doesn't seem to benefit you much, young man."
Makoto grinned, tugging at the ring on his chest. "My power isn't just Chakra. You underestimate me."
Hamura looked at the strange power within Makoto's chest, confirming it was indeed not Chakra.
It was a form of energy he had never seen before, not belonging to the Ninshu founded by him and his brother, nor any kind of power within his cognitive realm.
'What was the background of this young man...?'
Hamura fell into deep thought.
Makoto's next sentence made him question his entire existence.
"Besides, I want to f*ck your mother."
Hamura: "..."
The entire scene fell into deathly silence.
Hamura's eyes widened, his jaw nearly dropping to the floor.
'Holy shit.'
'Really?'
Following Black Zetsu, the third son, Otsutsuki Hamura, the second son, also looked like he was questioning his life.
The girls behind Makoto exchanged bewildered glances.
For unmarried girls like Hinata, Marin, and Mai, their worldview crumbled before their eyes.
'This Otsutsuki Hamura here was already ancient. How old must his mother be?'
'Several thousand years old?'
'Over ten thousand years old?'
'He wouldn't let her go either?'
While deeply shocked, Marin and the others also felt a strange sense of defeat.
'Damn it, this dog of a man, Nishikawa Makoto, wouldn't even spare a several-thousand-year-old woman, yet he hadn't made a move on us.'
'What were we lacking compared to a several-thousand-year-old hag?'
The Aizono sisters, Mrs. Yukinoshita, and the other early arrivals were calmer.
They could tell that Makoto's main goal was to threaten Hamura, not that he actually intended to do such things to Kaguya.
And even if he did, it wouldn't feel like that serious of a deal.
So what if he f*cks Hamura's mother?
The Aizono sisters, the Nakiri sisters, Yui, Haruno, and Eriri all indicated it was no big deal.
Hamura rolled his eyes so hard they nearly vanished into his skull. His lips trembled as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to begin.
'Damn, this young man... damn...'
Finally, Hamura admitted defeat. He let out a long sigh and said:
"...Very well."
"I will pass on my final power to these two children."
"In exchange, protect the world my brother and I left behind."
Makoto said casually:
"That's already my world now. If anyone dares to destroy it, I'll kill them."
Although Makoto's words were quite rude, Hamura could tell that this was also an agreement to his request.
Hamura sighed again, then turned to Hinata and Hanabi, beckoning them.
"Come here, children."
Hinata and Hanabi looked at each other, walked forward together, and stood before Hamura.
"Raise your hands."
Hinata and Hanabi did as told, raising their hands with palms facing outward.
Hamura also raised his hands, palms facing theirs.
Three pairs of white eyes looked into each other at that moment.
Hamura's body began to glow, the light flowing down his arms to his palms, then into Hinata and Hanabi's bodies.
The light lasted for about a minute.
Then, gradually faded.
Hamura lowered his hands.
His body was visibly becoming more transparent.
Hinata and Hanabi also lowered their hands and looked down at their palms.
Makoto looked at the girls' eyes. They were still Byakugan.
"Why didn't they turn into Tenseigan?" Makoto asked, somewhat dissatisfied.
Hamura looked helpless and explained slowly:
"These two children... are still too young. Awakening the power will still take some time."
Makoto thought about it and felt it made sense.
During the Fourth Great Ninja War, it was already extreme enough that the Sage of Six Paths could send power-ups to Naruto and Sasuke, elevating them from high-tier Kage level to Six Paths level in an instant.
But now Hinata and Hanabi were at best Chunin-level and Genin-level respectively.
If they could jump straight to Six Paths level, that wouldn't just be extreme... it would be too monstrous.
Next, everyone could see that Hamura's complexion was visibly growing tired.
Hinata took a worried step forward, her voice somewhat choked:
"Are you... alright?"
Hamura looked at her, a hint of kindness glinting in his white eyes.
"My Chakra is exhausted... I will soon leave this world."
The Hyuga sisters' hearts ached.
Although they had only known him for less than an hour, he was their ancestor, so there was a natural sense of closeness. And he had just bestowed such a great power upon them.
Now that he was about to leave the world, it was natural to feel reluctant.
Makoto, however, remained very calm.
"You are people who should have passed away a thousand years ago. The dead should not cling to the present world."
This was also the line his Senpai had said to Madara during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Hamura was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then let out a bitter laugh.
"...Perhaps you are right."
With that, Hamura's body began, starting from his feet, to dissolve bit by bit into particles of light, drifting away into the air until he vanished.
That wisp of Chakra, which had persisted for several thousand years, had finally exhausted its last bit of power.
The sisters Hinata and Hanabi stood in place, watching the direction where Hamura vanished, silent for a long time.
Then, they bowed.
"Let's go."
After watching this scene, Makoto turned and walked towards the spatial passage.
The women followed behind him, their footsteps echoing in the empty palace.
—The moon trip was over.
