Chapter 20: Hagoromo Rinnegan
"Quack——————!!!!!"
Wherever the sound reached, the common people were startled by the sudden loud noise and looked up at the source of the sound.
Before they could react, dozens of toads of varying sizes had already jumped out of the rivers, ponds, and forests!
Some perched on rooftops, some perched on treetops, and some even leaped directly onto the high platform in the center of the market, echoing in unison:
"A celestial being descends to earth ten thousand times to save the world—!!!"
"Attention! Attention! The big one is coming!!"
"A celestial being descended to earth ten thousand times to save the world!"
"I am Gamamaru, a disciple of the Sage Manji! The Sage Manji asked me to convey a message: everyone must move out immediately, or face annihilation!"
Outside, Gamamaru, along with a group of talking toads, shouts all over the world.
Those mortals had never seen such a scene before.
A talking toad, and in the name of the Immortal Manji?
"It's written text! Now I have to believe it!"
"We can't disbelieve what the Immortal Manji says!"
"Then let's go quickly!"
Upon hearing that it was a myriad of immortals, and that there was also a talking toad, the mortals began to relocate.
Gamamaru grinned with satisfaction as he watched this scene.
He waved his forelegs at his toad minions behind him: "Let's go! Let's shout somewhere else! We can't miss a single corner!"
"Quack! Yes, ma'am!"
Dozens of toads immediately dispersed, some jumping into town streets, some rushing to remote villages, and some even wading across the water to reach settlements on the other side of the river.
The voice, imbued with Sage Chakra, pierced through walls, crossed mountains and rivers, spreading the Sage Manji's decree to every corner of the ninja world.
"The Immortal has decreed! Quickly relocate to the Western Hills—!"
"Catastrophe is imminent, but divine protection has arrived! Converge at the canyon!"
Wherever the sound reached, no one hesitated.
Every household was packing their bags with utmost urgency; even those remote, isolated mountain tribes, upon hearing the divine decree, followed the migrating crowds towards the Western Mountain Valley.
Gamamaru squatted on a dirt slope, looking down at the endless migrating herd below, and proudly stroked his chin:
"Hmph, my master's name is just that useful!"
It turned to the little toad behind it and said
"Let's go check the east side again, make sure we don't miss anyone—after all, my master said that when gods fight, mortals shouldn't suffer!"

"The Immortal Wanci is truly farsighted; he had already arranged for the evacuation of the people..."
Yu Yi gazed at the deserted village and silently nodded in agreement.
In this way, this battle, which is destined to be earth-shattering, can unfold without any scruples, and there is no need to worry about innocent lives being affected.
With heavy steps, Yu Yi arrived at the vermilion gate of the mansion without realizing it. Her fingertips traced the cold patterns on the door frame, and she sighed softly, "In the end, it still came to this..."
Taking a deep breath, Hagoromo raised her hand to touch the magatama given to her by Hagoromo on her chest. The coolness of the jade spread in her palm, and her determination grew stronger.
"Bang!"
Push open the door
The silence and oppressive atmosphere in the lobby were overwhelming!
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was already seated in the main seat, surrounded by an unchanging, ancient coldness. Her white robes cascaded down like a waterfall, indicating that she had been waiting for a long time.
"Mother, I'm back."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki suppressed his turbulent emotions, his tone calm and even, but a subtle, complex emotion lurked deep within his eyes.
Kaguya stared at him expressionlessly.
Those indifferent eyes seemed to see right through people's hearts. He remained silent for a long time, as if he was considering how to deal with this "rebellious" son.
Silence filled the lobby, the air heavy.
Until she finally spoke, her voice was as cold as ice:
"Hagoromo, the power within you... carries the scent of those toads. Did they teach you that?"
She keenly sensed the aura emanating from Yu Yi that was similar to that of Manji, and instantly guessed what was going on.
She never imagined that this power would come from Wanci.
After all, that guy had already perished under her shared ash bones, his flesh and blood dissolved, and there was absolutely no possibility of him coming back to life.
"Mother, the source of my power is irrelevant; I only want to ask you, can you please stop what you're doing?"
Yu Yi said in a deep voice, her tone carrying a hint of pleading.
Kaguya's lips curled into a cold smile, tinged with disdain and pity: "You don't understand."
"I am your son!"
Yu Yi couldn't help but raise her voice, her tone filled with urgency and heartache: "I don't want to see you sink into despair!"
Kaguya's expression remained unchanged, clearly knowing that no amount of words could sway her son's resolve.
She slightly raised her fingertips.
"Whoosh!!!"
The next second, a figure suddenly appeared, it was Hamura who was being controlled and bound!
His eyes were empty and lifeless, like a puppet that had lost its mind. As soon as he appeared, he attacked Yu Yi like a madman!
"Clap clap clap clap—!"
The crisp sounds of fists and feet clashing were as dense as drumbeats. In the blink of an eye, the two brothers had already fought dozens of rounds in close combat!
The palm strikes were fierce, and the leg movements were intertwined. Each collision stirred up gusts of air, and the tables and chairs in the hall were instantly shattered.
"Hamura!? You've been controlled by her!"
Yu Yi's pupils contracted sharply, and her heart sank.
Master was right!
While parrying Hamura's relentless attacks, he tried to rouse his brother's mind, but Hamura's offensive grew increasingly fierce, each move aimed directly at vital points.
The battle quickly spiraled out of control, with the two fighting fiercely from the main hall all the way to the outside of the mansion. The shockwaves swept up dust that filled the air, turning the once tidy courtyard into a mess in the blink of an eye.
After Hamura was controlled, his power surged, and every move he made was deadly. Hagoromo had to dodge the attacks but couldn't bear to use his full strength, so he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Seeing that continuing down this path would only lead to defeat and death, Yu Yi made a sudden decision, a painful yet resolute glint in her eyes.
"Forgive me, Hamura!"
Before he finished speaking, lightning surged in Hagoromo's palm, and his chakra condensed into a powerful lightning fist. With a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, he punched Hamura hard through the heart!
"puff--"
Blood splattered out, staining the sleeves of the feather robe red.
A wave of immense grief washed over him, instantly blurring his vision. His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain almost suffocating him.
In the midst of this extreme grief and despair, a loud bang was heard!
The three-tomoe Sharingan in Hagoromo's eyes suddenly shone brightly, its patterns rapidly flowing and reorganizing, instantly transforming into the Rinnegan!
It contained a power that could shake the heavens and the earth, and the chakra around him surged, forming an aura that could be seen with the naked eye.
Rinnegan!
Kaguya's eyes narrowed slightly as she gazed at the suddenly evolved eye technique, a sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.
The power of those eyes far exceeded her expectations; she had to act immediately, or things might get complicated!
Her chakra began to surge, and a terrifying sense of oppression spread out. Kaguya had made her move!
