Kaguya's expression was earnest, revealing her genuine thoughts. Hearing this, Asahi fell silent for a moment. She made a valid point.
As a servant without profound knowledge and having reached her transcendent state in one leap, it was understandable that she didn't know much about the world's barrier.
However, what Asahi didn't expect was that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's reluctance to take risks was primarily for the safety of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki and Hamura Ōtsutsuki.
Although it was evident from their battle that Kaguya had held back, in the original story, Kaguya had been the first to attack the two, even controlling Hamura to fight against Hagoromo.
This puzzled Asahi, so he asked, "If Hagoromo and Hamura were so important to you, why did you try to suppress them back then?"
Hearing this, an unusual anger appeared on Kaguya's face. She didn't care how Asahi knew so much about her past.
With an angry tone, she replied, "How could I possibly want to suppress them? They are my children."
"Even if it meant risking my own life, I would protect them. They were always obedient, but then a toad appeared and deceived Hagoromo."
"Hagoromo, being naive, believed the toad's lies and thought I wanted to dominate the ninja world. Hamura believed this nonsense too."
"Tell me, what use would it be for me to dominate the ninja world? I tried to explain to them, but they wouldn't listen."
"They kept trying to stop me, so I had no choice but to temporarily subdue them."
"I controlled Hamura to restrain Hagoromo, but I never expected them to fight so recklessly, injuring Hamura severely."
"At that point, I wanted to heal them and talk things over, but then Hagoromo awakened the Sharingan and didn't give me a chance to explain."
"I didn't dare to harm them, so they escaped. Their talents were exceptional, and in just a few years, they became strong enough to challenge me."
"They tried to stop me, but they couldn't understand the terror of the Ōtsutsuki clan. So, we ended up in a fight."
"I never thought they would attack me. Fearing I might hurt them, I held back."
"But they kept coming, and eventually, I got tired and thought that being sealed might be better. At least, I wouldn't have to worry anymore."
"So, I stopped resisting and let them seal me."
As she spoke, the anger in Kaguya's face gave way to sadness. No mother could remain indifferent after being treated that way by her beloved children.
Seeing Kaguya's expression, Asahi sighed helplessly. Honestly, the root of the problem did lie with Kaguya.
However, you can't blame Kaguya Ōtsutsuki for her actions. Considering the environment she grew up in, it's understandable why she would be so tense.
As for Hagoromo and Hamura Ōtsutsuki, they weren't wrong either.
Both were born and raised in the Ninja World, and their actions to protect their homeland were righteous, even if they did come across as unfilial.
Asahi found it difficult to judge such matters. The events were in the past, and commenting on them now wouldn't change anything.
Moreover, Hagoromo and Hamura had long since passed away. After a moment of silence, Asahi spoke again,
"You don't need to worry about the Ōtsutsuki clan anymore. Since I agreed to help, I will resolve this for you. What are your plans now?"
Despite having lived for countless years, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki quickly adjusted her mindset.
She responded, "Even with your help, I need to make additional preparations. I still need to create White Zetsu, and I want to visit Hagoromo and Hamura."
"Also, I need to find my will's manifestation. But tell me, is that all you wanted to ask? Just those two insignificant questions?"
Seeing the confusion in Kaguya's eyes, Asahi felt a bit speechless. After all this time, it seemed she was still planning to follow her old path.
Was his strength so untrustworthy? Shaking his head, Asahi softly said,
"I was just curious. I don't have many questions. Let's talk about you. Forget about White Zetsu."
"Their combat power is not much stronger than ordinary people. Do you expect them to handle the Ōtsutsuki clan?"
"White Zetsu may be weak, but..." Kaguya tried to explain, but Asahi interrupted her by raising his hand.
"Don't think that numbers will win the day. At your level, you should understand that no matter how many White Zetsu there are, they pose no threat to true powerhouses.
"No amount of ants can ever kill a dragon. You need to free your mind from old limitations. The Ōtsutsuki clan is strong, but so are you."
"You might not believe it, but in my eyes, the Ōtsutsuki clan poses no real threat to you."
"Besides, the Ninja World today isn't the same as it was before you were sealed."
"If you insist on disturbing the world and creating White Zetsu, you won't achieve much, even if I don't intervene."
Hearing Asahi's words, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki fell silent. She had long understood that White Zetsu was ineffective.
For her, no matter how many White Zetsu there were, they were still like ants and could never match the Ōtsutsuki clan.
However, she held onto a sliver of hope that White Zetsu might be useful.
With no better options, she had resorted to this desperate measure. But now, with Asahi's blunt words, Kaguya had to face reality.
Of course, Kaguya didn't fully believe Asahi's claim that the Ōtsutsuki clan posed no threat to her.
Her old mindset had long since imprisoned her and couldn't be easily undone.
In Kaguya's view, without firsthand experience, one could never truly understand the terror of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
She thought Asahi's confidence stemmed from his ignorance of the clan's true power.
