"Father..."
Hearing Minamikawa Yuu's plan, the Hagoromo Brothers were greatly shocked.
"This is too precious."
Hagoromo was about to step forward to persuade Minamikawa Yuu to retract the order, but he saw Minamikawa Yuu shake his head: "It's just two desolate small islands; it's nothing to the country. It's perfectly appropriate to give them to those two."
"Of course, the same goes for you."
He smiled, then looked at Hagoromo and Hamura: "You have been training outside for many years, and it is about time."
"I will give you the territories of what were originally Bi Country and Bird Country to rule."
"From now on, you will be the kings of those lands."
He looked at the two children before him and spoke softly.
Compared to the islands granted to his two grandsons, the fiefs he granted to Hagoromo and Hamura were prosperous lands. Not only were they vast in area, but they also had large populations, making them excellent places.
"Father..."
Hearing Minamikawa Yuu's words, the Hagoromo Brothers felt quite conflicted at this moment.
Being entrusted with such heavy responsibilities by Minamikawa Yuu, they were naturally joyful in their hearts.
But alongside that joy, they also felt apprehensive.
Minamikawa Yuu's style of doing things this time was somewhat unusual.
It didn't seem like an ordinary gift, but rather like a deathbed entrustment.
It gave the impression that Minamikawa Yuu might leave at any time and was already preparing for his final affairs.
Minamikawa Yuu's next words deepened this impression.
"It's not just you; if Hamura has children later, I have already prepared fiefs for them as well."
Minamikawa Yuu looked at Hamura with encouragement in his eyes: "The documents granting the fiefs are already prepared. When the time comes, just go and claim them."
"Father..."
Hamura frowned: "You..."
A look of hesitation appeared on his face, and he really wanted to ask Minamikawa Yuu some things, but in the end, he didn't speak.
The people present fell into silence, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.
It wasn't until a moment later, when Minamikawa Yuu had someone lead the Hagoromo Brothers out, that the atmosphere in the room returned to normal.
"Mother."
Hagoromo took a deep breath, looking at Kaguya: "Aside from visiting you and Father this time, we have also come to issue a warning."
"Things cannot continue to develop like this anymore."
He spoke persuasively: "The God Tree is constantly absorbing Natural Energy and has now reached its limit. If this continues, there will be a major problem sooner or later."
"If it continues like this, the world might be destroyed by our own hands before your enemies even arrive."
"Please, stop this."
Beside him, Hamura stood there without saying a word, his gaze fixed on Kaguya, clearly sharing the same sentiment.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Kaguya, waiting for her reply.
Under their gaze, Kaguya finally spoke.
"Are you all trying to force me?"
Kaguya spoke indifferently, her Byakugan showing no trace of emotion: "For the sake of a group of ants who have nothing to do with you..."
"It's not forcing, just persuasion."
Hagoromo's face was serious: "The people living in this world are all living human beings, not the ants you speak of, Mother."
"They have their own families and their own peaceful lives."
"We have no right to decide their future destiny."
"And what if I insist on doing so?"
Kaguya's face was cold: "What will you do then?"
"If that is the case..."
Hagoromo took a deep breath: "Then we will have no choice but to stop you ourselves."
"With these Rinnegan!"
As his voice fell, the aura on his body changed abruptly, and his originally peaceful presence suddenly became terrifying.
Although still not as strong as Kaguya, he was by no means comparable to ordinary people.
What drew the most attention were his eyes, which had at some point turned into a pair of purple Rinnegan.
Those Rinnegan were pure, carrying an aura that shared the same source as Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, appearing terrifying and powerful.
"And me."
Beside him, Hamura's voice also came through.
He took a step forward, and the aura on his body also changed.
A faint golden light bloomed on him, and in an instant, his state was completely different from before.
Most special of all were his Byakugan, which had turned into a deep azure at some point, looking as if the entire sky were contained within them, giving rise to infinite imagination.
This was the Tenseigan, which in terms of rank was not at all inferior to Hagoromo's Rinnegan, and the power contained within was equally terrifying and boundless.
"Rinnegan, Tenseigan..."
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya looked at the two children before her, a look of astonishment appearing on her face for the first time: "Hagoromo, Hamura... you actually..."
Neither the Rinnegan nor the Tenseigan were common things.
Although the former was said to be standard equipment for the powerhouses of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, awakening it was not that easy.
Not to mention that Hagoromo's Rinnegan were very unusual; the ocular power contained within far exceeded that of an ordinary Ōtsutsuki and was close to that of Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra.
Hamura's Tenseigan was equally unique and quite rare even within the entire Ōtsutsuki Clan, only possible to awaken once the Ōtsutsuki bloodline reached a certain level.
Different from the naive youths they once were, the Hagoromo Brothers were now fully mature, and the combat power they possessed could not be considered weak even within the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Had Kaguya not consumed the chakra fruit, with her original combat power, she might not even have had the qualification to stand before Hagoromo and Hamura.
This far exceeded her expectations.
She stood there, looking at the two children before her, speechless for a long time.
After a while, she finally spoke again: "Turn back now and be obedient, and I can act as if nothing ever happened."
She thought of the Ōtsutsuki Clan that would arrive in the future.
If it were just her alone, dealing with the potentially invading Ōtsutsuki Clan might be a bit difficult.
But if she could add the now-grown Hagoromo Brothers, the result would be completely different.
If they waited for that second chakra fruit to ripen and for Minamikawa Yuu to consume it and awaken Ōtsutsuki power, their side would possess four powerhouses who could be called elites even within the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
If they also counted Indra and Ashura, who were young now but had vast potential... such strength, even within the entire Ōtsutsuki Clan, would be considered powerful enough to form their own faction.
Thinking of this, Kaguya's tone softened slightly, and she showed a bit more patience toward the two children.
"Give up."
Hagoromo stared intently at Kaguya, his purple Rinnegan filled with determination: "As long as you do not give up your ideas, it is impossible for us to stop."
"This world must not be destroyed by our hands."
"Let's do this!"
In the next moment, he reached out and pressed one hand forward.
Several Truth-Seeking Orbs condensed and blasted directly forward.
