Chapter 192: Son And Mother
"Amazing, so Hashirama are not die yet?" asked Raiken.
His question snapped Madara and his eyes widened a bit.
"You are correct, Hashirama chakra was very large that it took at least 100 years before it collapsed," said Hagoromo.
"How about Uchiha Izuna," asked Raiken.
This time Madara head snapped as fast as he can towards Hagoromo. His curiousity rivaled everyone in the room.
Hagoromo eyes locked to Madara for a while before return to Raiken.
"Last I check he was still alive but it is better to let him die, even if you wanted to bring him back, his body are not like what it was in the past, they are something missing due to their physical body had been broken," replied Hagoromo. "Izuna is a strong Uchiha, most of Uchiha before warring states period had died."
Madara didn't like the answer but he didn't say anything, he had the same Rinegan like sage of six paths, so there is a way to bring his brother back.
"I started to feel jealous with your eyes Madara" admitted Raiken.
Hagoromo looked at Raiken and he opened his mouth. "It is better not to touch someone who had lost their physical body, if not because of the astral dimension, they already been dead."
"But they are alive," smiled Raken.
"A form of suspended existence," Hagoromo confirmed. "Once the astral body has completely collapsed, even I cannot save them anymore."
Madara glanced towards Raiken.
"Their bodies were already broken," Raiken said. "Their astral forms were still waiting to collapse."

Raiken almost smiled but remembering they are in open public and currently Kaguya were looking at them.
Before he could say anything, Kazuma questioned Hagoromo.
"But you survived there for a thousand years."
"I possessed far more chakra than an ordinary shinobi, furthermore I have Rinegan," Hagoromo replied. "Even that would not have been enough by itself, I used the Rinegan and Yin–Yang Release to stabilise my astral body, give me 100 more years then my body would completely collapsed."
"You hid inside that dimension," Raiken said.
"Yes. I placed myself in a state of deep sleep and suppressed most of my consciousness. Remaining awake consumes chakra, sleeping allowed me to preserve what remained."
Madara looked down at the swollen patch of flesh on his chest.
"Then how were you aware of what happened in this world?"
"Indra and Asura chakra remained connected to me," Hagoromo answered.
"Who is indra and who is Asura?" questioned Raiken.
"They are both my son, Indra is the ancestor of Uchiha while Asura is the ancestor of Uzumaki and Senju," answered Hagoromo.
"And you have been watching us?"
"Not continuously, once in a while I would awake and I saw what happen through the connection."
"You're running out of chakra," Raiken said.
Hagoromo did not deny it.
"Yes, like I said before that I can maintain this form in about 100 more years before it truly collapsed," revealed Hagoromo.
Kaguya who had been silent after the other started to intrude of their conversation immediately looked towards her son.
"Why are you sealing me?" asked Kaguya.
Right now her mentality are not influenced by ten tails so she can think clearly.
"Mother, you are the one who kidnapped those innocent people and turned them into an army, I need to stop what you have done," replied Hagoromo.
"You are too young at that time, I was forced to turn them into an army," replied Kaguya.
"Why did you turn them into white zetsu mother?" asked Hagoromo.
Kaguya didn't answer instead she muttered her grievance. "You sealed me."
"I did," replied Hagoromo.
"You turned Hamura against me."
"Hamura made his own decision," Hagoromo looked at his own mother.
"I was protecting both of you!" Kaguya defended herself.
"You were sacrificing the people of this world."
"They were going to come!" Kaguya's voice echoed throughout the chamber. "You knew nothing about the otsutsuki clan. You had never witnessed them harvesting a world, human armies could not stop them. I needed soldiers who possessed chakra."
"You could have told us the truth."
"Would you have listened?"
Hagoromo fell silent, Kaguya looked at her son.
"You had already decided that I was a monster."
"You tried to take back the chakra you gave us."
"You attacked me first!"
The chamber shook as Kaguya anger disturbed her chakra.
The restraint immediately activated. More black markings spread across her skin, suppressing her power before it could escape.
Raiken quickly stepped between mother and son.
"Everyone, calm down," he said. "This is their first conversation in a thousand years. It was never going to begin with a peaceful hug."

Kaguya turned her cold gaze towards Raiken.
"You placed this seal upon me," questioned Kaguya
"Yes," nodded Raiken while smiling.
"Remove it," ordered Kaguya.
"I cannot Grandma, it was too risky."
His answer came so quickly that everyone in the room looked at him.
Kaguya eyes narrowed.
"You dare refuse me?"
"You just woke up after a thousand years and discovered that your son is slowly dying," said Raiken. "You're angry, frightened and confused. Giving you enough power to destroy the Moon would be irresponsible."
"I do not need your permission to use my own chakra."
"At the moment, you do."
Madara quietly moved one step away from Raiken.
"You could support me," he muttered while looking at Madara.
"I prefer to stand outside the range of her first attack," replied Madara.

Kaguya stared at Raiken for several seconds before turning towards Hagoromo.
"Is this disrespectful man one of your descendants?" asked Kaguya.
"He possesses chakra inherited from asura," Hagoromo answered.
"He lacks respect," replied Kaguya.
"That may not have come from either of us."
Raiken frowned.
"I'm the one who released her."
"And immediately told her that she required your permission," Madara said.
Hagoromo stepped closer to her.
"Mother, fighting now will not change the past. Nor will it protect this world from what may come next."
