Chapter 297 Heavenly Ice Chamber
Humans crave companionship.
From a utilitarian perspective, it is illogical for Kaguya Otsutsuki to separate her own power to give birth to Hagoromo and Hamura.
Even if she stayed in the ninja world, she could easily absorb it all and continue hunting other planets.
Given time, it is possible that he could become the second Otsutsuki god.
……
But what makes humans human is their inability to perform rational analysis like a machine.
Kaguya was tired of it.
The act of burying someone alive was less a result of a conspirator's meticulous planning and more a case of a rabbit biting someone when cornered.
If she were truly evil from the beginning, she could not have been revered as the "Goddess of the Rabbit" and given birth to two children with the blessings and prayers of the people.
So...
Setting aside some pointless conspiracy theories, what was the original reason Kaguya gave birth to the Sage of Six Paths and the others?
It's love.
She longs for companions of her kind to help her protect the ninja world.
This is the home she chose.
……
But in the process, she gradually lost her way.
The unresolved judgment of the Otsutsuki clan from outer space, and the increasingly uncontrollable child, made her suspicious and fearful.
When she tried to reclaim her chakra, she failed.
She underestimated the power of the Sage of Six Paths and the will of the beings in the ninja world.
What if we had talked things out properly from the beginning and understood each other?
That's not possible.
Without the threat from his mother, the Sage of Six Paths might not have achieved what he did.
Just like...
If the Sage of Six Paths hadn't favored Asura, Indra wouldn't have desperately tried to prove himself.
The process of becoming stronger is filled with setbacks and hardships; a towering tree cannot be grown in a greenhouse.
You have to lose something to know what's important.
This is what it means to feel pain and to understand pain.
……
He and Kaguya Otsutsuki were so alike; they both nurtured life with love, yet received hatred in return.
Do not……
Some loves and hates are truly impossible to explain separately.
Even now, Kaguya still loves her child.
Even when facing each other in life and death, Hagoromo and Hamura still love Kaguya.
Hamura chose to settle on the moon, leaving behind his bloodline to protect it. His will still remains in the cemetery on the moon.
The Sage of Six Paths had countless opportunities to prevent the Ten-Tails' resurrection. The simplest way was to not respond to Madara Uchiha's thirst for the power of all things, thus preventing the key to breaking the seal from appearing.
Could it be that he also longs to see his mother again, if only she could turn back...?
Will he end this thousand-year imprisonment?
……
-
The conversation was brief, but Kaguya's final look truly touched Allen's heart.
A similar look appeared in his eyes when he saw the consciousness of the White Wolf Falling Snow on the Ice Plains of the Flower Kingdom that day.
This profound loneliness of being alone in a foreign land, with no one else in the world, is something that ordinary people cannot comprehend.
Even in death, the white wolf in the snow searched for its kind, and its obsession manifested as a physical existence.
Kaguya chose to create, using children connected by blood to fill this enormous emptiness.
……
Besides hunger and cold, loneliness was a constant companion during Allen's childhood.
At that time, if anyone was willing to show him even a little kindness and reach out to him, he would follow them without hesitation.
It doesn't matter if they are evil people, even if they are used as tools.
There is no such person.
Compared to Allen, Bai is lucky.
……
A person must become obsessed with something in order to feel truly alive, instead of suffering.
That late night, walking through the snowstorm, was the moment Allen came closest to breaking down.
Not just the physical body, but also the spirit.
……
Why should I continue living like this?
What is the meaning of my life?
It's so painful, so tiring...
If I die like this...
……
In a hazy vision, young Allen saw himself in that world.
A very thin boy, so thin that you could even see the outline of his bones under his clothes.
She hugged him tightly with her slender body.
……
I have overcome loneliness through my own strength.
-
He clenched his fingers, and a strand of pale hair snaked through them.
The Eternal Kaleidoscope Wheel began to spin, and Allen's lips curled into a faint smile.
"At least they know what's good for them."
"Unlike the arrogance you displayed when the seal was broken, you now possess a more human quality..."
At least……
They knew they had to reward the rescuers first.
As that strand of pale hair disappeared into Allen's consciousness, a large amount of information surfaced in his mind.
It was a passage connecting to another dimension, constructed in the form of a pupil technique.
……
After Kaguya Otsutsuki awakened the Rinne Sharingan, her two most important abilities were Amaterasu and Infinite Tsukuyomi.
The power to freely weave space, a divine ability that surpasses all other eye techniques!
What Kaguya Otsutsuki gave Allen was the coordinates and control of the ice space belonging to Amenominaka.
That strand of pale hair gradually melted, transforming into wisps of silvery-white light. Following his meridians, chakra, and soul connection, it slowly flowed into the depths of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
From late at night to early morning.
Having prior experience in independently developing a technique for traversing between worlds, and with Kaguya Otsutsuki voluntarily relinquishing ownership of this space, Allen completed the construction of his eye technique in just one night.
……
Allen raised his left hand, palm up, a fleeting icy blue star flashing in his scarlet pupils.
click-
A thin, hair-like, ice-blue crack appeared out of nowhere in front of them, like a miniature portal, slowly opening.
Behind the door was an endless expanse of silvery white, from which an extremely cold aura emanated, and snowflakes condensed in the air.
Allen stepped inside and looked up to see that the ancient, unyielding ice covered everything in sight.
……
"A world entirely constructed of ice and snow... the level of completion... the power of that progenitor of chakra is truly unfathomable!"
Hunting followed closely behind, his eyes gleaming as if he were doing something like scanning.
"After all, he is the only person in the entire Otsutsuki clan, apart from the Otsutsuki God, who has eaten a complete chakra fruit."
Allen reached out to feel the chill in the air and continued, "You can only criticize Kaguya for her lack of skill; her stats are still top-tier."
With a thought, the ice crystals in this space began to deform, forming the shape of a giant wolf.
This space possesses an ability that other spaces do not have.
It is called natural integration, which can change the terrain at will according to the controller's will, just like a natural-type ability user.
……
When the Ice Wolf was fully formed and stood upright, Allen nodded in satisfaction.
A sliver of light emanated from the fingertip, drifting slowly toward the ice wolf and disappearing into its brow.
This is the lingering memory of the Snow White Wolf that Allen has carefully preserved and nurtured until now.
Below, a faint light appeared in the ice wolf's empty pupils, and its body seemed to have gained a sense of life.
Hunting frowned slightly: "Won't separating the consciousness of the Falling Snow White Wolf affect your strength?"
Allen turned to look at him and said slowly, "No, the power of the Devil Fruit has long been integrated into my bloodline."
"If you feed it some golden fruit regularly, it should be able to revive in the form of a tailed beast."
Hunting paused for a moment, then nodded: "I understand..."
Sensing the change in Hunt's emotions, Allen raised his hand and placed it on Hunt's shoulder.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Don't worry, it's a mount, and its ecological niche is different from yours."
Kari shrugged, turning his head away: "Then what is my position...?"
……
"You lackey who speaks for the boss, there are some things I shouldn't say myself."
"I was quite satisfied with that boastful declaration from the ninja world."
Isn't this still the dog's ecological niche?
……
Hunt shook his head helplessly and walked out of the icy space with Allen.
Looking back, Hunti asked, "What's this technique called?"
Allen thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"There are too many skills to think of, so they'll just come out naturally when we're fighting."
