I didn't bother giving Hagoromo a chance to answer, instead I just teleported him with me into my Divine Realm.
When he reappeared, Hagoromo blinked at the sudden change in scenery, looking around at the endless black sky above them.
Of course, I had picked the best spot to start our little tour, right on top of The Tower, I wasn't going to show him inside, the moment we reached the anime themed floor, he would think that I was insane.
That floor wasn't even made by me, it was Nue that wanted to 'Preserve the fond memories that our creator has.' or whatever she said.
The other Star-Eaters had been all for it, but I knew she suggested that as revenge for allowing Orochimaru to live.
If it was just that, I would have given her a scolding, dangling someone's regrets in their face to hurt them was not something I wanted my children to do.
But she had made other floors, small little slices of my life before this, I couldn't stay mad at the little prank when she put so much genuine effort in making something for me.
I did pelt her with balloons filled with neon green paint for a few days afterwards, though, no way she was escaping punishment for the sheer cringe she made me fell when I saw that abomination of a floor.
"What is this place?" He asked eventually, still looking around at everything.
"This is my Divine Realm." I answered simply. "Think of it like my own personal world."
Hagoromo seemed to consider the possibilities in those words, before turning to me with a thoughtful look.
"This surpasses what I know is capable with Shinjutsu..." He mused slowly. "Just how powerful are you?"
I smiled lightly.
"Guess." I gestured around. "This is the tower, not alot going on here, but if you watch the skies you'll see the Star-Eaters homes."
His eyes followed where I pointed, for a normal human eye, the asteroids would just look like shooting stars, but the bullshit that was the Rinnesharingan could see them clearly.
"Star-Eaters are the giant... crows, yes?" He asked as he looked at the distant asteroid. "I have seen that they are highly revered by your people."
What a lackluster reaction, Star-Eaters are my greatest creations, ya know? He could be more awed.
"They run most of the minor stuff, they are one of the cornerstones of The Order, really." I shrugged slightly. "They act as guides and leaders for my people when I am not available."
Hagoromo hummed in acknowledgement, still staring at the starry sky.
"Now, let's go check out the Crow island." I grabbed his arm and teleported us to the middle of the island.
Once we arrived, Hagoromo immediately tensed, before relaxing slowly, taking in the endless forest around him.
"Could you not do that? It is unpleasant." He complained mildly.
"Nah, teleporting is way faster than flying here." I shrugged casually. "Now, welcome to Crow Island, this is where the Crow Clan lives, my favorite clan, they even have a Sage."
"A Sage?" Hagoromo asked with some surprise, turning to look at me. "Last I heard of the Crows, I saw that they were violent and almost extinct."
I just stared at him.
"When was the last time you checked in on the Summon Lands?" I asked incredulously, It has been literally hundreds of years since Mukuro had decided to say 'fuck that' and isolate himself and the rest of the crows he took with him.
I never really asked for the exact timeframe, but not long after the Crow Clan went extinct.
"Perhaps... 300 years?" He said thoughtfully. "Time slips by me sometimes, having nothing to tie me down leaves me with little way to tell it's passing."
Fair enough.
"Well, the main Crow Clan did go extinct, but the Sage took most of the younger crows and isolated himself, tired of the fighting and bloodshed." I explained. "Now they serve me as messengers and scouts, sometimes the rowdier members join the Military Wing."
"I see..." He said slowly. "It is always good to hear of others that have managed to step away from the path of violence."
I wouldn't be telling him about the fact that Mukuro was basically single-handedly responsible for the main Crow Clan getting into so much trouble, he started a lot of fights that the rest of the Clan couldn't win without him.
But I did lead him to the Clan itself, making sure both of us were hidden.

1 HOUR LATER
Eventually, we had seen pretty much everything, Hagoromo was a pretty quiet guy, but he seemed happy at seeing the lives the Crow Clan led.
But before I ran out of things to show him, the thing I actually wanted to do arrived.
Someone had died, which was not exactly a happy occasion on its own, but it did give me the opportunity to show Hagoromo exactly what happened when my followers died.
His accusation that I ate souls was very hurtful, that put me in the same tier as Jashin, and I really did not want to be on the same level as that loser.
The soul arrived, and as was common, it was an older person, a woman.
I brought it towards us, and watched as Hagoromo tensed slightly when he saw it.
"A soul?" He asked slowly. "I am not surprised by your ability to interact with souls, but why are you showing me this one?"
"To show you the process, obviously." I shrugged. "After they arrive here, the first step is to determine the cause of death."
Normally, I did this without any visual indication, but for Hagoromo's benefit I made the last moments of this soul's life manifest as an illusion.
In front of us appeared a scene that was quite sad, it was an old woman, she was walking along a small dirt path, carrying a basket of fruits in her hands.
Suddenly, she paused, placing a hand over her heart, a confused look crossing her face.
Her legs shook slightly, before giving out completely, she fell on her side, the basket rolling away as the contents scattered all around her.
And then she stayed there for a few minutes, eventually stilling and breathing her last breath.
Heart Attack, she had been having symptoms for a few days before this, but had been stubborn about going to a doctor, insisting she was fine.
"Well, the cause of death is natural." I said after watching the scene. "Preventable, but sadly, you can give someone all the tools in the world, and some people won't use them."
"The second step is to see if they have any pressing matters left, ones that need intervention from my Order."
There was no way to show this one to Hagoromo, so I just paused for a few seconds before shaking my head.
"She has some family here, but they are healthy, her children and grandchildren have stable lives, no pressing issues."
I nodded firmly.
"And there we go, time to send her off into the Pure Lands."
And with a little push, I sent her soul off towards her eternal rest.
Hagoromo was silent through the whole thing, but once it ended, he turned to me and gave me a measuring look.
"It seems I have made an error, thinking of you as an enemy." He admitted calmly. "My apologies."
"Eh, I can understand why you jumped to those conclusions." I shrugged lightly. "But one last stop in our tour."
I teleported us again, this time to Wave proper, right outside of the restaurant.
"We need to go visit Saiken." I told him seriously. "And once the whole situation with Kaguya is resolved, one way or another, I expect you to talk to all the other Bijū."
"The dead should not meddle in the affairs of the living." Hagoromo said sternly.
I had quite enough of deadbeat family members refusing to talk to their relatives, he didn't get to use that excuse on me.
"Oh, my apologies, then let me just send you off to the Pure Lands, since you are dead and all that."
I started to gather Divine Power in my hand, but before I could do anything, Hagoromo grabbed it and pushed it down.
"I changed my mind." He said hastily. "I can see how it would be beneficial for my children to have some closure with their father."
I smiled pleasantly at him.
"Glad we are on the same page."
***
"Saiken, my man!" I greeted Saiken when we arrived at the restaurant, he was washing a plate when I suddenly appeared beside him.
Immediately, he flinched backwards, sending the plate he had been washing crashing to the ground, I caught it before it could shatter and placed it back on the counter.
But he recovered fast, immediately breaking out into a small smile.
"Oh! Watch-" He stopped himself. "Uh, sorry, Ayumu, what are you doing here?"
"Just wanted to introduce you to someone." I teleported us to the table area of the restaurant, Hagoromo too.
Now both were seated at a table, sitting across from each other, and I was watching with a smile.
But Saiken just looked around confused, and I remembered technically Hagoromo was still a soul.
Woops.
Another snap of the fingers, and some DP shoved into Saiken fixed that right up.
He immediately froze, staring wide eyed at Hagoromo.
"Father?" He whispered in disbelief.
And that was my cue to leave, so with a wink at Hagoromo, I teleported away, letting father and son talk with each other.
