Otsutsuki Kaguya was reading a book inside the sealing space.
After Aoba left the sealing space, that will on the moon that had been trying to communicate with him earlier appeared again.
As for this youngest son, Aoba truly had no intention of talking to him.
Mainly because he didn't even know what there was to talk about.
If there was anything to discuss, it would be better to wait until Otsutsuki Kaguya came out and let the mother and son have a proper conversation.
Thinking that, Aoba had originally planned to leave directly, but a somewhat illusory old man's figure suddenly appeared right in front of him.
"Young man, please wait!"
"..."
Aoba hadn't expected that once the old man got anxious, he would just appear in front of him like this.
However, after sensing Hamura's current condition, he realized it was only an extremely weak wisp of chakra.
Like it could dissipate at any moment, with no threat at all.
That was a bit unexpected.
No wonder he hadn't come out to stop things during the great battle between the main and branch families of the Otsutsuki clan.
'But now he comes out to play tricks like this, isn't he afraid of being casually wiped out?'
"Judging from your expression, young man, you should recognize me, right?"
Otsutsuki Hamura wasn't surprised by Aoba's look of recognition mixed with a bit of surprise.
The other party had already come here twice. The one inside must have told him quite a lot.
"Mm, Kaguya told me quite a few things about you two brothers."
Aoba shifted the reason for knowing him onto Otsutsuki Kaguya.
Of course, it wasn't entirely passing the blame. Otsutsuki Kaguya had indeed just told him quite a bit about the two brothers, though it was all from when they were kids.
"..."
After hearing Aoba's answer, Otsutsuki Hamura fell into silence for a moment.
Although he had guessed it would be this reason, hearing a boy not even twenty years old directly call his mother by her name still gave him a strange, unreal feeling.
After all, even a thousand years ago, no one had ever dared to call his mother by her name.
And then thinking that this guy might become his…
This was practically a whole extra generation added on top.
Otsutsuki Hamura suddenly felt a bit of regret for forcibly stopping him.
"What, you've been wanting to talk to me this whole time, and now that you've shown yourself and stopped me, you're not saying anything? Are you messing with me?"
Though he didn't know why, seeing Hamura make a face like he'd just swallowed a fly improved Aoba's mood quite a bit.
Stopping him out of nowhere, didn't he know that as both the Hokage of Konoha and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, he was very busy?
"I don't mean that…"
Otsutsuki Hamura let out a long sigh, "It's just that hearing you call her Kaguya made me feel a bit emotional. It seems your relationship with her is quite good."
"It's alright, I just chatted with her for a bit. You two brothers, though, honestly… you're both still alive, yet you don't go in and keep your mother company, talk with her a little. Don't you know that what elderly people lack most is companionship?", Aoba spoke seriously, like he was scolding disobedient children, his tone full of reproach.
"..."
'What do you mean she lacks companionship?'
'Do you even hear yourself?'
If the two of them really went to see their mother, not only would she not be happy, she'd probably think about hanging them from a tree and beating them the first moment she saw them.
And also…
'Has this kid really started treating himself like our father or something?'
If this wisp of chakra weren't so weak right now, he absolutely would have made a move, no matter what, just to show this brat what he's capable of.
Let him understand what it means that the Six Paths cannot be insulted.
Otsutsuki Hamura felt that showing himself had been a mistake.
Since Hagoromo had already said he would be the one to contact Aoba, he should have just stayed on the side and slacked off.
But seeing that Aoba come to the moon again, he really couldn't hold himself back and still wanted to make contact.
Unfortunately, there's no medicine for regret.
"Hoo!"
Otsutsuki Hamura took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions before continuing.
"Although I don't know exactly what Mother told you, I believe she definitely didn't tell you the reason why she was sealed by us. The reason I stopped you is just to remind you of something."
As he spoke, his expression turned serious.
"Mother is an extremely dangerous existence. She may seem normal now, but if you release her and she loses control again in the future, it will be a disaster for the entire ninja world."
"Is that so?"
Aoba's response was just two light, casual words.
Seeing this, Otsutsuki Hamura thought the other party simply believed he was trying to scare him.
But that was normal. He hadn't expected to change the other party's mind with just a few words anyway, so he continued, "If you have time, I can explain in detail why Hagoromo and I sealed Mother here. I think you'd definitely be interested…"
"Then sorry, I'm not interested."
Aoba directly raised a hand to cut him off.
The other party was just a useless old man. He had no interest in hearing him repeat things he already knew.
"You…"
Otsutsuki Hamura was truly at a loss, 'Are young people in the ninja world all this hot-blooded?'
'Not the slightest bit of respect for elders.'
'Not to mention, I am your ancestor.'
"Alright."
Aoba had no intention of continuing the conversation either.
"I still have quite a few things to handle in the ninja world, so I won't keep you company, old man."
After saying that, he didn't even give Hamura a chance to stop him, directly using Flying Thunder God to leave the moon.
Otsutsuki Hamura froze again, a bit surprised.
He had originally thought Aoba would leave through the Earth-Moon passage like last time, but instead he vanished in an instant.
'Most likely a space-time ninjutsu.'
Otsutsuki Hamura let out another sigh.
'Sure enough, in the ninja world, strength is what matters. Otherwise, even if you want to speak, you don't get the chance.'
He could only hope that Hagoromo's side would move a bit faster.
'Aoba is already calling her Kaguya. If we don't hurry up…'
'It really seems like we are about to get a father.'
