"Sir, what should we do now?"
Hashirama looked at Lux and asked for his advice.
However, Madara beside him frowned and said, "It's better to kill them all and eliminate the problem at its root!"
Madara's suggestion was crude and cruel.
Killing won't solve all problems; but killing enough, or even all enemies, will solve most problems.
"Madara, you can't do this..."
Hashirama immediately stopped him. If he really wanted to kill people, he would have used Wood Element to crush all Otsutsuki Moon warriors to death.
Although the events of the past few days had a significant impact on Hashirama, even causing him to change his initial beliefs and plans temporarily. However, it did not turn him into a cruel and bloodthirsty person.
Like Minato, Hashirama's kindness and compassion cannot be changed.
When he heard Madara was going to kill everyone, Hakaru did not surrender, but Souto, who was captured and sealed by the wooden hand beside him, immediately surrendered.
"Wait! I surrender!"
"This is indeed a misunderstanding. We have misunderstood many people!"
"I only ask the rulers to let my clan go. I am willing to pay any price!"
The corner of Madara's mouth lifted.
'I thought they were all tough guys, but I didn't expect there are still some cowards.'
"What's the price? Are you willing to hand over that Gedo Mazo to us?"
Madara deliberately provoked him. He still preferred Souto's rebellious appearance from before.
"Of course! I am willing to hand over the Gedo Mazo, please let my clan go!"
Souto gritted his teeth and agreed without hesitation.
Hakaru beside him immediately glared at Souto angrily.
"Souto! What are you doing? How can you betray your family and ancestors—"
"I am doing this for the entire family!"
Souto responded by gritting his teeth, seemingly not at all ashamed of his betrayal.
'If you're not as strong as your opponent, already defeated and even captured alive by the enemy, why are you still pretending to be tough? Ensuring the survival of the entire clan is the top priority.'
'Compared to the entire clan, the misguided Gedo Mazo is nothing. As long as I can survive, I might be able to take it back in the future!'
Hashirama was also confused witnessing the heated argument between the two; he didn't want to kill anyone! He didn't even want to seize the Gedo Mazo statue?
How did it turn out like this?
Hashirama was about to stop them, but Lux first interrupted the quarrel between the two Otsutsuki clan leaders.
"Alright, no need to act anymore, Head Souto."
"Ah? What do you mean? What movie am I acting in?"
Souto was slightly surprised and looked at the mysterious Lux, pretending to be confused.
"You're the one who started this unnecessary fight, right?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Hashirama and Madara didn't come here to get the Gedo Mazo. You deliberately provoked the fight and incited the Ōtsutsuki family head Hakaru to join the battle, didn't you?"
"What?" Hakaru glared at Souto again, not expecting Souto to have deceived him.
It shouldn't be like this!
Why would he help outsiders to deceive his own family?
"Nonsense! You're slandering me!"
The corner of Souto's eye twitched slightly, and the small change in his expression revealed his inner thoughts.
"My acting skills are still not perfect. There's still room for improvement! Besides, your willingness to surrender isn't just to protect the entire clan."
"It's more about keeping yourself alive and giving yourself a chance to turn the tables, isn't it?"
Lux revealed Souto's true intentions in one sentence.
Honestly, Lux still admired the other party.
He was strong, capable, and decisive; from any perspective, he was better than Hakaru, the main family head.
He even felt better than Neji from the Hyuga side, and he wasn't bound by restrictions.
Even though Souto lost the battle, he was still able to bend and stretch, willing to admit defeat and beg for mercy.
He's a hero!
No wonder he was eventually able to destroy the main family and unite the entire Otsutsuki clan on the moon.
Unfortunately, because his vision was too narrow, and he chose the wrong opponent and target.
Trying to kill Hashirama like a wolf or tiger was just a pipe dream.
Moreover, the ultimate goal of the branch family is to destroy the ninja world and build a new world on Earth.
Not to mention Hashirama and Madara wouldn't agree.
Even Lux couldn't let them go further.
If the entire ninja world is destroyed and all living beings die, how can he complete the unification mission?
This time, Hashirama and Madara were brought to the moon. The first was to allow Isshiki to enhance his strength, and the second was to prepare to deal with the threat of the Otsutsuki branch on the moon.
Unexpectedly, the branch family led by Souto appeared on their own and was directly wiped out by Hashirama.
This saved a lot of trouble and time.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"NO!"
"This is all slander, I never thought like that! You're slandering me!"
Even though his heart was in turmoil, Souto still refused to admit it.
"I can't admit it! If I admit it, wouldn't I have to die?"
Many lies are destined to fail the moment they are spoken.
"Tsk! Then, how will you explain this?"
Lux raised his hand and suddenly activated Universal Pull.
The tremendous suction force stretched for a thousand meters, sucking in several Otsutsuki Moon branch warriors hiding in the distance, along with the secret weapon they carried.
Soon, a five-meter-tall metal ball carved with beautiful patterns flew to Lux's side and floated in the air.
Clearly, this was the ultimate secret weapon hidden by Souto, the Tenseigan!
It was also the only Tenseigan collected by the branch family over hundreds of years and secretly fused with the contempt of many clan members!
Unfortunately, due to the lack of some genes and the uneven number of Byakugan, the Tenseigan, although very powerful, was not perfect.
It needed to be housed in a special container and could not be shrunk to the size of a human eye.
In short, it could only be activated externally and could not be used to replace the Byakugan of the Otsutsuki.
When he saw that his own Tenseigan, which had been hidden for years, had fallen directly into Lux's hands, the Otsutsuki Moon branch family head, Souto, could no longer remain silent.
This time not only did he lose, he also lost the Tenseigan belonging to the branch family.
This was a case of losing wife and army!
If the Tenseigan is lost, it means the last hope of the branch family and the only chance for a comeback might be gone!
The long-held aspirations and ideals of the branch family for many years were also shattered.
"This big Tenseigan is quite good."
"Chieftain Souto, do you want to continue?"
Souto, like a deflated ball, immediately collapsed and showed a very unwanted bitter smile:
"Finally, I lost!"
"Who are you?"
"How do you know about our hidden Tenseigan?!"
