Chapter 447: Haori
Never mind that Ino had no way to deal with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki right now; even if she did, she couldn't say anything for the sake of timeline stability.
Six-sensei likely sent her back knowing that no matter how much she struggled, she wouldn't be able to handle Kaguya.
Right now, the brothers Hagoromo and Hamura had absolutely no intention of sealing their mother with the combined power of Yin and Yang. The two probably still thought they could fight Kaguya for dozens of rounds, then clear up the misunderstanding and reconcile as mother and sons.
Ino had no intention of being a busybody. Even if she wanted to say something, she wouldn't know how.
What exactly was Yang Power? What exactly was Yin Power? How exactly do you use Six Paths: Planetary Devastation? She was clueless about all three, so what was there to say?
Gamamaru had given her a mission. She could procrastinate, drag it out for a few days, and have an excuse for everyone. It's not that I didn't want to help, I just really couldn't find the time!
"Alright then, please come with me. Let's not tell Hagoromo for now. This matter involves some of his secrets," Gamamaru said mysteriously.
Ino wasn't afraid of this toad leading her somewhere to ambush her. She couldn't beat the version 6.0 Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, but fighting a version 2.0 toad was no problem. And even if she couldn't win, she could run.
The two moved quickly, crossing mountains and ridges.
Since he already knew she was a person from the future, she no longer bothered to hide it.
She conjured a giant clay bird on the spot and flew at high speed with Gamamaru.
She didn't think the Great Toad Sage of a thousand years later would have any interaction with Deidara. As a person from the future, casually creating a flying chakra bird was perfectly reasonable, right? Gamamaru's mission was, as Ino had expected, about Haori.
In this era, there were only a few matters involving Six-sensei, and his girlfriend was clearly one of his priorities. However, Six-sensei's handling of things at this stage was a bit rough, and it fell to Gamamaru to pull Ino in to clean up his mess.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had descended upon this world many years ago. The mother and her three sons were not savages living in a cave; she had her own handmaidens, soldiers, and numerous followers.
After eating the Chakra Fruit, to prevent the Ōtsutsuki clan from sending people to settle the score, she prepared to resist to the end.
She wanted her army to be as large as possible. A hundred thousand? That was just the beginning! A million, ten million—it wouldn't be enough! Did this planet have that many people? Of course not.
Kaguya, at her advanced age, also possessed a certain degree of wisdom.
She used a "boiling the frog slowly" method, not hanging everyone on the tree to create White Zetsu all at once.
Instead, she used the pretext of the God Tree selecting sacrifices to fool the common people, sacrificing one batch today and hanging up another tomorrow.
Like a farm, through her planning, human reproduction would not be greatly affected. With endless descendants, her White Zetsu soldiers could also be continuously produced.
She prioritized selecting the elderly who had lost their ability to reproduce, criminals, or just some men. Women in their childbearing years were rarely chosen. Haori, a young girl, being put on the tree was purely an act of venting anger.
Haori did not turn into a White Zetsu. She was rescued by Hagoromo shortly after being put on the tree, but her consciousness had been completely erased by the God Tree, leaving only a living shell.
A few days ago, Six-sensei awakened the Rinnegan and wanted to try to resurrect Haori.
The basis of the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique was the existence of a soul. Now, all information belonging to Haori had been erased by the God Tree; she had been completely "formatted." How could she possibly be resurrected?
Haori never woke up. No matter how heartbroken Six-sensei was, there was nothing he could do. He could only temporarily set the matter aside and entrust Haori to the care of the villagers who had escaped earlier.
Today, Gamamaru had brought Ino to find Haori.
As a talking toad, according to the laws and regulations set by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, a creature like him could be killed on sight.
So, Gamamaru wanted Ino to bring Haori's body out, and the two of them would find a place to seal the evil energy within her.
He asked with righteous indignation, "What are you looking at me for? In your era, you should be very good at solving this kind of problem, right?"
Ino could only nod. Right, right, in your minds, people from the future are omnipotent!Everyone has sensory abilities, everyone knows sealing jutsu, right? Next time, I'll let Naruto travel back and see what you think then!
"That's right, where we come from, we call this sealing jutsu..." Ino gave a dry laugh. So, the so-called sage who sealed Mōryō was me? Using some clever words, Ino got Haori's body from the simple-minded villagers and gathered with Gamamaru to study it.
The situation was very complicated.
Haori appeared to be a corpse, but she was actually slowly reviving. Hagoromo's attempt at resurrection was simply too crude. He couldn't find the soul, so the power of the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique was stuck. Revive her? He couldn't. Take it back? He couldn't. As a result, a dark power from another realm had taken notice. Now, Haori was a gateway. Once the dark power completely occupied her body, it would descend upon this world.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki suppressed all demons and monsters. If Mōryō were to truly come, it would be serving itself up on a platter, but by then, Haori would be completely beyond saving.
There was nothing else to be said. They had to seal it.
Ino prepared for two minutes, then let out a sharp cry and entered Sage Mode.
Eye shadow appeared on her face. As she became more familiar with this mode, the Power of Six Paths was also slightly stirred. The chakra in her body quickly gathered. No Truth-Seeking Orbs, no staff, but it did give her a new set of clothes.
She was now wearing a simple, ancient-style white robe and black pants, barefoot. Below her dark red collar were six black magatama, and on her back was a red spiral symbol. She looked a bit like Six Paths Madara, but without the horns and with nothing in her hands, she looked a little awkward empty-handed.
Just as she was about to form a hand seal, her movement paused, and she couldn't help but turn her head.
"Haori is so kind. Will I ever see her again in the future?" Hagoromo had appeared behind them at some point. Six-sensei's expression was calm.
Gamamaru pursed his lips and said nothing. Ino could only explain, "Haori... Miss Haori's... well, her consciousness will be very difficult to restore. It's best to resolve this once and for all right now..."
"So, it is still possible to restore it, right? Could you please try?" Hagoromo said with great sincerity.
Since he had put it that way, Ino really couldn't refuse.
"...Alright then. I'll go into Miss Haori's inner world and take a look. Master, please protect my body."
"Rest assured."
The next second, Ino used the Mind Body Switch Technique to enter Haori's spiritual world. Hagoromo witnessed the entire hand seal process of this jutsu... Blackness. Upon entering Haori's spiritual world, Ino's first sensation was that it was pitch black.
Scorching flames surged around like living creatures. The entire world was a floating island suspended above the fire. She looked around.
Sage Mode could enhance all ninjutsu, and the Yamanaka clan's secret jutsu were within that scope. Upon entering Haori's spiritual world, she still maintained her Sage Mode appearance.
