The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

After bidding farewell to Hanzo and others, Hagoromo and Hamura began to rush back non-stop.

As they hurried on, Hagoromo whispered to Hamura: "Hamura, let's keep quiet when we get back later and go directly to the back mountain. Let's see with our own eyes what mother is doing with the sacred tree."

"Okay." A glimmer of hope flashed in Hamura's eyes. He really hoped at this moment that Kaguya was really just letting people worship the sacred tree.

But he also knew very well that this possibility was pitifully small...

But no matter what, as long as you haven't seen it yet, there is always a glimmer of hope.

…

Soon, the brothers returned to the place where they and Princess Kaguya lived.

It was a huge palace complex. The entire palace complex was built against the mountain, occupying almost the entire front half of the mountain. Looking back from the front half of the mountain, a towering sacred tree was standing there.

Hamura and Hagoromo looked at each other, nodded together, and then walked towards the back mountain.

Although there are only three owners of this huge palace complex, Otsutsuki Kaguya and her son, to maintain such a huge palace, all kinds of servants are indispensable. Therefore, there are not many maids and servants in this palace.

But with the strength of Hagoromo and Hamura, it was easy to avoid the sight of these ordinary people.

However, what Hagoromo and Hamura didn't know was that just as they were approaching the back mountain, the sacred tree standing quietly on the top of the back mountain suddenly began to squirm slightly in its knotted bark.

A strange eyeball peeked out from the gap between the bark of the tree.

Not much of the eyes are exposed, but you can faintly see the blood-red background, the dark circles, and a magatama attached to the circles...

As soon as those eyes were revealed, they locked onto Hagoromo and Hamura who were approaching the back mountain.

"Hagoromo and Hamura...did they run out again? Well, are they still walking towards the back mountain?"

At the same time, in the only palace in the back mountain, a woman with long hair reaching the ground, dressed in white and with horns on her head was sitting cross-legged.

The woman cannot be said to be beautiful, but her holy and noble temperament makes people feel ashamed. She is the current ruler of this world, the goddess of Uma, Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Otsutsuki Kaguya slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of pure white eyes.

She and the sacred tree were one entity, and she could see everything the sacred tree saw.

In normal times, no movement in the entire lair would have escaped her surveillance. However, in the past year or two, in order to make White Zetsu and prepare for the recovery of chakra, Kaguya often needs to control the sacred tree to absorb the essence of those humans.

, while transforming their bodies.

In this way, Kaguya's control over the lair will naturally be reduced. Without Kaguya, those servants and maids will definitely not be able to keep tabs on Hagoromo's brothers. This is why Hagoromo and Hamura can sneak out.

"These two children are really getting more and more disobedient." Kaguya murmured to herself, and then prepared to stand up and go to stop her two sons from approaching the back mountain.

But just as she took a step, Kaguya suddenly stopped.

"These two children are not young anymore. They are my sons and will be my best helpers..." Kaguya closed her eyes and silently thought in her heart.

Hagoromo and Hamura are the two largest groups of chakra split in her body, and they also inherited her two great blood successors. They can almost be said to be two small "sacred trees".

This is a big weakening for Princess Kaguya. Logically speaking, she should recover the chakra from her two sons as soon as possible, but...

As the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its own children. No matter what, Hagoromo and Hamura are her biological children. Even though Kaguya's feelings are a little weak, they are not non-existent.

In addition, the strength and potential of Hagoromo and Hamura exceeded her expectations.

Although her two sons took away a lot of her chakra, the strength exerted by Hagoromo and Hamura exceeded the increase in strength brought about by recovering this part of her chakra.

"Forget it, let me see if these two children are willing to help me wholeheartedly. If they are willing..." Kaguya's indifferent mouth could not help but have a slight curve.

Yes, as long as Hagoromo and Hamura are willing to help her, it not only satisfies her feelings, but is also in line with her own interests, and is the best choice for her.

Of course, if Hagoromo and Hamura are unwilling to cooperate with her, then Kaguya will never show mercy for the sake of the big plan.

She is a weak person by nature.

"Children, don't force your mother..."

Kaguya muttered something silently, then turned around again and sat down cross-legged.

At the same time, the bark at the top of the sacred tree also squirmed again, and the eyes that were originally exposed quietly sank under the bark, as if they had never appeared before.

The camera turned back to the other side. Hagoromo and Hamura were moving very fast. It didn't take long before the dense palaces around them began to decrease rapidly. Flowers, plants and trees began to gradually take over the mainstream, and the towering sacred tree was also in the sight of the two brothers.

It started getting bigger and bigger.

"Brother, that should be over there, right?"

Entering the back mountain, Hamura no longer had to be as cautious as before. He activated his chakra, and then, a 360-degree view was revealed.

After a brief observation, Hamura quickly locked in on his destination.

There are only two large buildings in the entire back mountain.

One is the palace where Princess Kaguya usually lives, and the other is a huge temple that looks a bit old.

The temple is located on the edge of the roots of the sacred tree. There are many small roots climbing along the walls of the temple, and some roots penetrate the wall tiles and penetrate into the interior of the temple.

Don't think too much, if there are human beings worshiping the sacred tree, they will definitely be in this temple.

However, both Hagoromo and Hamura's mood gradually sank.

Hamura has powerful and insightful Byakugan, and Hagoromo also has the Rinnegan. With such a close distance, if there were really a large number of people living in the temple, they would have noticed some movement long ago.

"Brother, we..." Hamura swallowed his saliva, turned his head to look at Yuyi with some difficulty, and said hesitantly.

Yuyi didn't answer him, just closed his eyes silently.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said resolutely: "Let's go and see what mother is doing."

After that, he didn't care about Hamura and strode forward quickly. After a moment of hesitation, Hamura finally just sighed and followed quickly.

"Squeak..."

Yuyi took a deep breath and reached out to push open the temple door.

It was very dark in the temple. As Yuyi opened the door, wisps of light shone into the temple.

Standing at the gate, Hagoromo and Hamura used the light to see clearly the scene inside the temple. The next second, they both froze on the spot.
