The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

"How's it going, big brother?"

When Hagoromo's consciousness exited Shiro Zetsu's body, in the palace of the Otsutsuki clan, Hamura also closed his Byakuya and asked Hagoromo.

During that time just now, Hamura was not idle either. He had been keeping Hagoromo safe and alert to the surrounding situation.

"It went very well." A smile appeared on the corner of Yuyi's mouth, and he said: "Gamamaru and the others have agreed to help us investigate. When the results come out, we will know exactly what mother is planning."

"Great." Hamura breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He looked at the sky outside, and then said: "It's getting late, we should go to mother's place."

He had not forgotten that before Kaguya left, she specifically asked them to go to her place for dinner in the evening.

In this current situation, they still need to stabilize Kaguya for the time being to avoid any accidents.

"That's right." Hagoromo stood up and looked at his brother at the same time, saying: "By the way, Hamura, although there are Gamamaru and the others to help us investigate, we ourselves should not be idle. We will also take the opportunity to make some insidious remarks later.

Let’s see if we can get any useful information.”

"Okay." Hamura nodded.

The two brothers then left their palace and walked towards the palace at the highest point of the front mountain.

In fact, Kaguya usually stays at the palace in the back mountain more often, but her sense of ritual is very heavy, and Hagoromo and Hamura are not allowed to go to the back mountain, so when mother and son eat together, they often stay in the back mountain.

This side of the main palace on Qianshan.

But this time, when the Hagoromo brothers came to the palace gate, there was a maid waiting here.

Seeing Hagoromo and Hamura, the maid bowed to them first, and then said: "Your Highnesses, Master Kaguya invites you to the palace in the back mountain."

"Um?"

Hagoromo and Hamura were stunned for a moment, but Kaguya had already given the order, so they could only follow their mother's order.

After nodding towards the maid, the two turned and walked towards the back mountain.

"Brother, what kind of medicine do you think mother is selling in this gourd?" Hamura asked in a low voice.

"I'm afraid they are observing our attitude." Yuyi's expression was a little stern as he said, "We will act according to the situation in a while. If it really doesn't work, just follow mother's wishes for the time being. Don't fight her."

"I understand." Hamura nodded heavily.

Not long after, the two of them walked to the back mountain. At this time, the sky had also darkened. Hagoromo and Hamura glanced at the somewhat old temple from a distance, then turned and walked towards Kaguya's palace.

"Welcome the two sons of God. Kaguya-sama has been waiting for you two for a long time." This time, the person who came to the palace gate to greet him was not a maid servant, but... a White Zetsu.

Seeing Bai Jue, a trace of sadness and disgust flashed through Yuyi's eyes.

The common people who were innocently turned into Bai Zetsu hated this disgusting Bai Zetsu. Next to Hagoromo, Hamura's expression was equally complicated.

After a while, it was Yuyi who said: "I've kept my mother waiting for a long time. Please take us in first."

"Children of gods, follow me." Bai Jue bowed slightly, then turned and walked towards the palace.

To be honest, this is also the first time that Hagoromo and Hamura have come to Kaguya's palace in the back mountain. Different from the grandeur of the palace in the front mountain, this palace that belongs to Kaguya even seems a bit simple, with rows of candles surrounding it.

Illuminating the palace brightly.

"You are here, children." After walking for a while, Princess Kaguya's voice suddenly came over.

Hagoromo and Hamura looked forward. At this time, the two of them and Bai Jie had arrived in the main hall of the palace, and Kaguya was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall, watching them quietly.

In front of Kaguya, there was a low table about one meter long and wide, with some simple meals placed on the table.

On the left and right sides of Kaguya, there are two identical low tables with the same food on them.

Seeing this, Hagoromo and Hamura couldn't help but feel moved. In their impression, Kaguya had never prepared such a simple dinner.

"Okay, kids, take your seats quickly. Bai Zetsu, you go down first." Kaguya didn't seem to notice the distraction of her two sons, and just continued to give her instructions calmly.

"Yes, Master Kaguya."

Bai Zetsu saluted Kaguya, and then sank directly into the ground. Hagoromo and Hamura came to their senses, and they both walked towards their positions at the same time.

"Let's eat." After the two of them sat cross-legged, Kaguya said slowly.

"Yes, mother." Hagoromo and Hamura lowered their heads towards Kaguya, and then started to eat dinner.

The atmosphere of the meal was very dull, and it didn't feel like a family of three at all, but both Hagoromo and Hamura seemed to be used to this atmosphere.

In the past, when mother and son ate together, the food was just richer, and the atmosphere was no different from now.

It is this kind of atmosphere that makes Hagoromo and Hamura admire and respect their mother more. In terms of feelings, they are closer to each other as brothers.

But now, with what happened today, in the hearts of Hagoromo and Hamura, Kaguya's tall image has almost collapsed.

Looking at his current mother, Hagoromo couldn't help but think of a word recorded in human books - tyrant.

"Hagoromo, Hamura, if one day, my mother is no longer a goddess, you are no longer the sons of God, and the three of us, mother and son, have become despicable people, can you imagine it?" Kaguya, who had been eating dinner calmly, suddenly

Ji raised her head and glanced at her two sons.

"How could it be?" Hamura responded subconsciously, but as soon as he said the words, he regretted it a little.

But at this time, Kaguya's eyes had already turned towards him. Seeing this, Hamura could only bite the bullet and apologize and said with a smile: "As the ancestor of chakra and the goddess respected by all humans, how could she be like that?"

one day."

"Really..." Kaguya responded softly. She looked away from her youngest son, looked down at the simple meal in front of her, then closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Hagoromo and Hamura were a little confused by Kaguya's endless questions, but seeing that Kaguya didn't say a word, the brothers could only continue to eat their dinner in silence...

"Boom."

When Hagoromo put down his bowls and chopsticks, Hamura across from him had also finished eating.

Kaguya suddenly opened her eyes and said to her two sons: "You go back first."

"Yes, mother." The two brothers looked at each other, then stood up, bowed to Princess Kaguya, and then turned and walked out of the palace.

As Hagoromo and Hamura left, the palace fell into silence, and even the candlelight seemed to be quiet and no longer beating.

At this time, Kaguya suddenly floated slowly and came to the window of the palace. She looked up at the stars in the sky, her eyes fixed on one direction, as if she saw something through the endless starry sky.

"I won't admit defeat. I've had enough of making wedding dresses for others."
