Ep. 461: Hagoromo and Hamura discover the truth behind their mother's ritual and the God Tree

461

Born after the Infinite Tsukiyomi, Hagoromo and Hamura remain unaware of Kaguya's true nature until a conflict over water leads them to meet Gamamaru. The toad guides them toward the God Tree, revealing that the land is weakening due to a ritual Kaguya imposed. After encountering a fraud salesman and learning their mother is viewed as a tyrant, the brothers witness Haori joining the ritual to serve the tree. Confronting Kaguya yields only vague warnings about "the others," prompting a journey to the Peak of Demise. There, Hagoromo awakens the Sharingan upon finding Haori and others lifeless and bound to the roots. Gamamaru later transports them to Mount Myoboku, using a Memory Stone to explain the God Tree's origins and Kaguya's arrival. Learning that Kaguya revived people under the Infinite Tsukiyomi while draining natural energy, Hagoromo begins training in Sage Jutsu to gain power against her, though Kaguya eventually discovers their plan.
