I have talked about in the past and last chapter preety much confirmed it for me so I want to majority's belief on that. Is he evil or not? Make sure that you vote on this poll, don't just say " I agree or disagree".


For those who say no and want to listen to the counter-arguments, here are two theories:

1: This is mine but I would actually suggest you to read the second one which belongs to Vega as I consider it to be superior in terms of covering more topics.

2:


Here are also some words of wisdom by Sir Derp Obito.

The fact hagoromo talked intellectually proved he is the yin of the two brothers... a true bodhisattva (sage) is able to immediately transcend all cultures and languages and speaks in a simplistic and humble way.
It is no wonder the Rinnegan has all the heretical "Outer Path" connotations, because its owner: Hagoromo, is a heretic, the Sage is darkness.

The introduction of the other brother indicates that Hagoromo and his Bro represents dual opposites: Light and Darkness, which one represents Light and the other Darkness remains to be seen, although with Hagoromo's candor and approach in solving things through subjugation and force it is reasonable to believe he is the Darkness of the two: The Danzo to Hiruzen so to speak, the Rinnegan has all the heretical Outer Path connotations because the original owner Hagoromo is a heretic (as my Buddhist friend said) the only difference between Hagoromo and Kaguya is the degree of their Outer Path Actions: Kaguya is tyrannical while Hagoromo is pragmatic, none the less both ascribed to the Outer Path heresy by seeking peace through stolen power aka Chakra.

This is taken from the Tao Te Ching regarding the right conduct of a Sage:

The sage does not strive, tamper, or seek control (ch. 64). He does not endeavor to help life along (ch. 55), or use his heart-mind (xin) to “solve” or “figure out” life’s apparent knots and entanglements (ch. 55). He who will try to do something with the world will fail, he will actually ruin it.

They never make a display of themselves, (chs. 72, 22). They do not brag or boast, (chs. 22, 24) and they do not linger after their work is done (ch. 77). They leave no trace

Seekers see the sage as someone transparently open, without any cleverness at all and, yet, the seeker knows that the sage is obviously no one's fool! This is perhaps what is meant by the words: <The sage is anchored in peace and harmony>. But what the seeker actually sees is that while the sage is not particularly keen to offer any advice, he does so when asked, with a great deal of simplicity, confidence, and utter humility.

He isn't. He already entrusted everything to naruto and sasuke. Now it's his time to preach current generation and ensure that history won't repeat again, tha's what i guess atleast. If anything i believe sasuke still has some dark resolve that would arise conflict b/w him and Naruto.

He's the Sage of Six Path that the Tailed Beasts respects and love as if he were their own father, and went out of his way to teach Ninshuu and connecting chakra to one another in his attempt for global peace.

Highly, highly, highly doubtful he would be evil.

I say he wasn't evil when he was talking to naruto and sasuke, but he Is now for whatever reason. The way he thanked naruto and sasuke at the end of the chapter seemed sketchy.

I doubt it.

If it happens then hagoromo & all tailed beasts vs everyone, therefore kurama will take over naruto's body. Therefore RM naruto -> everyone along with hagoromo & tailed beats.

No, he isn't. There is no reason hint etc. to support that theory at all.

The two reasons people think that is

1) They don't want the manga to end

2) Hagoromo has pronounced eyesockets and wrinkles that supposedly make him look "evil"
