Hagoromo Otsutsuki wasn't in a great mood either.
He originally thought that even if he couldn't defeat Naruto, he would be able to retreat unscathed, but now it seems that this wisp of his Chakra would probably be hard to save.
Every bit of Chakra used is a bit lost, and he also used a Sage's talisman from Mount Myōboku. If he wants to continue interfering in the world of the living in the future, it probably won't be so easy.
But in this way, Naruto can be considered to have demonstrated his own strength, even if it's just Hagoromo Otsutsuki himself saying it unilaterally.
He now already approves of Naruto's path.
He has been watching over this world from the Pure Land for nearly a thousand years.
For thousands of years, the Countries of the Shinobi World have been in constant war, and true peace has never appeared.
Even if there is a brief peace, it is only because the Countries of the Shinobi World are tired and exhausted, and then need to rest for about ten years to recuperate, but that is only to prepare for the next war, and when they have recovered, they will continue to start a new war.
The Countries of the Shinobi World are forever in only two states: war, and preparing for war.
He was already tired of such a Shinobi World, but he was never able to find a completely new path to peace.
Since the scale of the war was not very large, and most of the ordinary people in the Shinobi World were safe, he no longer interfered in the affairs of the Shinobi World.
He waited patiently for the Child of Prophecy to descend.
Because the real threat to the Shinobi World has never been just war. War will not destroy the Shinobi World, but Kaguya Otsutsuki truly wants to destroy the Shinobi World.
And the change in the Child of Prophecy completely exceeded his and Gamamaru's expectations.
The scale of the war to unify the Shinobi World has far exceeded Hagoromo Otsutsuki's imagination, and it is still during this period when Kaguya Otsutsuki is about to break free.
Black Zetsu has been planning in secret for nearly a thousand years, and has already made sufficient plans.
Originally, he and Gamamaru planned to wait for the Child of Prophecy to grow up, and then reseal Kaguya Otsutsuki.
They had made sufficient backup plans, but they did not expect that the Child of Prophecy's personality would have changed completely, as if he were a different person, and he had completely escaped their control.
If Hagoromo Otsutsuki hadn't been constantly observing Naruto's growth, he would have thought that Naruto had been possessed by some Ninja.
Left with no choice, Hagoromo Otsutsuki agreed to Gamamaru's suggestion to nip it in the bud, planning to find another person to become the Child of Prophecy.
However, Naruto's words just now gave him some new inspiration, and Naruto's strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
At least he wasn't as strong as Naruto when he was seven years old.
So, he has temporarily approved of Naruto's path.
In the chaotic Shinobi World, strength is fundamental. What Hagoromo Otsutsuki truly approves of is Naruto's strength.
If Naruto doesn't have the strength to contend with Kaguya Otsutsuki in the future, he, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, will do whatever it takes to leave Naruto here.
Just as Hagoromo Otsutsuki was still brainstorming, Naruto had already swung his sword to attack again.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki subconsciously controlled the Susanoo to raise its sword to block.
Just when he thought it would be the same as the previous attacks, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's eyes suddenly widened before the longswords collided.
A spatial fluctuation suddenly occurred on the Chakra longsword in the blue Susanoo's hand.
A spatial ripple rippled from the base of the longsword, and the Chakra longsword in his hand broke directly.
Naruto's powerful sword struck Susanoo squarely.
The mountain-like Susanoo swayed, its form becoming even more illusory, and it entered a brief state of stiffness.
Naruto, having finally found an opportunity, couldn't possibly miss it.
He chose to use Kamui at this moment precisely to find an opportunity for a fatal blow.
All seven tails went forward together, binding Hagoromo Otsutsuki's Susanoo, and a Tailed Beast Ball was already gathering in his mouth again.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki tried to break free, but was tightly entangled by Naruto's tails.
His eyes widened slightly, looking at Naruto, who was almost face to face with him, in disbelief.
Was he trying to die together with him?
Of course, Naruto didn't have that idea. His Chakra was still very sufficient, and maintaining the Armored Susanoo was no problem at all.
But Hagoromo Otsutsuki's current Chakra reserves were running low. With this attack, the complete Susanoo would definitely not be able to be maintained.
In Hagoromo Otsutsuki's incredulous gaze, the Tailed Beast Ball in Naruto's mouth slammed into the blue Susanoo.
Boom!
The entire Mount Myōboku trembled again, and the dazzling white light directly submerged the two.
When the white light dissipated, endless explosions and terrifying aftershocks frantically vented out.
A huge explosion sounded, and the violent shockwave that came with it swept directly towards the surroundings.
The shockwave from the explosion alone, like a hurricane, directly swept up all the rubble on the ground, and rocks flew everywhere.
The figures of the two also reappeared.
Most of the Susanoo layer on Naruto's fully Tailed Beast form had been destroyed, revealing half of his body, which appeared a little charred after being hit by the explosion.
And Hagoromo Otsutsuki's Susanoo, which also looked a little tattered, flickered on and off for a while, before returning to a skeleton again, and then disappeared.
His body fell directly from the air.
But before he had fallen much distance, Naruto grabbed him in his hand.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked at Naruto's eye sockets, which seemed to be burning with flames.
Not only did he not show a panicked expression on his face, but he even showed a slight smile.
"Naruto, I hope your path is the right one."
"Hmph! Whether it's right or wrong, time will prove it. As for you, just obediently roll back to the Pure Land!"
As Naruto's voice fell, the hand grasping Hagoromo Otsutsuki began to exert force slightly, and a terrifying suction force came from Naruto's palm.
In an instant, the Chakra in Hagoromo Otsutsuki's body had been completely absorbed by Naruto.
And Hagoromo Otsutsuki in his hand also lost his vitality, slowly turning back into Jiraiya's appearance again, and returning to a cold corpse.
Naruto casually threw down the corpse, and the black Susanoo armor on his body began to slowly disappear.
The state of complete Tailed Beast transformation also slowly returned to its original state, and at the same time, a strange sensation came from his eyes.
He hadn't felt this way in a long time. At this moment, his eyes were slightly burning, as if a mysterious and powerful force was surging out from them.
That force was like a raging flame, rapidly spreading throughout his body.
He felt as if his body was ignited by an invisible force, filled with unprecedented energy and vitality.
This nameless power was so strong that he couldn't help but be shocked by it.
Although there was no mirror, he knew in his heart.
The Rinnegan, it was done!

Battle scenes are really hard to write, but I won't have to write them like this in the future. All it takes is a slap to deal with anyone.
