"What's wrong with you two? Are you going to say I did it again?"
Isshiki didn't understand what was wrong with these two, but he no longer cared whether others said he 'did it or not'.
"Stop overthinking. The Karma is almost done. We should prepare to move around."
"Hmm."
Momoshiki and Urashiki both nodded, but their gazes became even more alert.
"It's indeed time to move around. This state is too terrible."
Not having returned to their Ōtsutsuki state, they had no sense of security.
...
"Oh, the Ninja World is starting to act again?"
And as the outside world was in chaos, Takemi, inside his personal. dimension, raised an eyebrow.
However, his expression was incredibly strange.
After a while, he finally spoke, "By the way, your son seems to have ultimately chosen to 'betray' you."
"..."
Kaguya was still in a panic, worried that Takemi wouldn't have enough energy and would use her to forge the Path to Godhood.
But hearing this, she paused, and subconsciously spoke, "Didn't Hagoromo, that cold-blooded guy, betray me a long time ago?"
"...The black one..."
"Zetsu?"
"Yes, he reacted very strongly when he heard that you were to be released."
Takemi showed a half-smile. Speaking of which, he hadn't expected the situation to develop beyond his imagination.
Rubbing his chin, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there something wrong with the way you raise your sons? One after another, they choose to betray you. Could this be the consequence of Chakra creating life?"
"..."
Kaguya was silent. She didn't know how to answer this question, but her fists were clenched.
After a long while, she spoke in a cold tone, "Is everything here dealt with? I want to go back and see what he's going to do."
"It's dealt with. We should indeed go back." Takemi stood up and stretched lazily.
"The Ōtsutsuki's Karma is almost fully decompressed. If nothing unexpected happens, they'll be able to move soon, and my Ten-Tails should also be unleashed."
"Such a bountiful season, I have no reason to miss it."
Takemi was already looking forward to everything else, but Kaguya still felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
Although she hadn't seen it, she believed Takemi's words. Her other son had actually betrayed her?
'Is life created by Chakra really that unreliable? Whether it's Zetsu, or...'
Suddenly, Kaguya thought of something.
What exactly was going on with Takemi, this Ōtsutsuki born in the Ninja World?
There were many ways for Ōtsutsuki to create offspring. It wasn't a difficult task, but the key was...
Who exactly bestowed the power to create him?
Suddenly, Kaguya thought of something. Her gaze involuntarily turned towards the figure of the black-clad man placed at the dome of the giant tree. At this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of fear.
Could it be him?
Takemi, Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki, is actually the son of Shibai?!
...
In the Ninja World, a frantic battle had already erupted. After the 'Truth of the Ninja World' was revealed, the nature of this war had undergone a massive change.
After all, war was precisely what the Sage of Six Paths desired, only through war could people become stronger.
And those who died...
Anyway, there's Edo Tensei. Instead of living in fear of being killed, it's better to die early and be resurrected by Edo Tensei.
White Zetsu was plentiful, and since all of this was part of the Sage of Six Paths's plan, Obito and the others didn't care that much.
"Kappa, I've finally found you again!"
Hidan was the most excited. He charged directly at Guy, enduring a 'hail of bullets'.
"You can't run this time. Nine years, you've owed me an answer for nine years."
"..."
Guy was momentarily confused, seemingly trying to recall what this guy was talking about, but he knew Hidan quite well.
"Damn it, it's that poison user again. Can't they send someone else?!"
...
"Sakumo, it's time we settled things."
Sasori and Chiyo found Sakumo, who was relatively low-key and hidden in the crowd. Compared to Sasori's resentment, Chiyo sighed.
"It seems I'm really going to cause you trouble."
"It is a bit troublesome."
Sakumo scratched his head. He felt like his life was constantly entangled with Sunagakure.
These guys are truly persistent.
"Huh, why are you two here too?"
Naruto and Sasuke had intended to participate in higher-level battles, but in the crowd, they spotted Zabuza and Haku, which made Naruto's eyes widen.
"Hmph, the Ninja World isn't your home."
Zabuza spoke disdainfully, while Haku smiled.
"We came voluntarily to reinforce. Be careful."
"You're the ones who need to be careful. I can't worry about you that much."
Sasuke spoke calmly, and his gaze shifted towards Itachi.
"It's a good warm-up. You, beast, are perfect for it."
As the great battle erupted, everyone found their own opponent. Madara and Hashirama naturally became each other's adversaries.
"Madara, don't mess around." Hashirama dodged while speaking impatiently.
"Since we already know the Sage of Six Paths's plan, shouldn't we be united and face the Ōtsutsuki threat together?"
"Originally, I thought so too, but now my thoughts have changed."
Madara, wielding his Gunbai and Kama, launched continuous attacks. His Mangekyo Sharingan appeared particularly crimson at this moment.
"I've always desperately sought peace, only to find that so-called peace is just wishful thinking. You can't possibly understand how I feel."
"But, since we already know all the truth..."
Hashirama continued to persuade him. He didn't see any meaning in continuing this fight.
"As long as we resolve the Ōtsutsuki crisis, won't we be able to usher in peace?"
"That's true, but since all of this was guided by the Sage of Six Paths, then..."
Madara's expression wasn't very good, and his movements became more aggressive.
"I've come this far, so what I can do now is to firmly carry it out."
Madara actually felt some resentment internally. After thoroughly confirming the Sage of Six Paths's logic of action, it was impossible for him not to feel upset.
He had always prided himself on fighting for peace, only to find that in the end, he almost became an accomplice in destroying the world. The peace he yearned for was worthless in the face of a greater crisis.
And Hashirama, this foolish and naive guy, was the one who, in a true sense, advanced the Ninja World's process of dealing with the crisis.
Such a situation was unacceptable for his proud self.
"Since the Sage of Six Paths's true purpose is this, then I will cooperate to the end. I want to wait for all of this to conclude and completely create all peace."
When Uchiha's extreme emotions took over, Madara, no matter how calm he usually was, would lose balance.
"Damn it."
Seeing this, Hashirama knew there was no other way. He could only accelerate, accelerate as quickly as possible.
"If you persist in your delusion, don't blame me!"
"Hmph, do you think you're Takemi?"
Madara's Chakra erupted, and he sneered.
"The way you talk, it's as if you can defeat me anytime."
"Take this, Madara!"
"Hashirama!"
Boom—
A tremendous roar suddenly erupted from their collision. The visible shockwave instantly sent countless people flying.
"Damn it, these two are too troublesome."
Tobirama spoke unhappily, and what made him even more annoyed was that he seemed unable to participate in such a battle at all.
However, as he was getting a headache, Minato had already met up with Kakashi, and their gazes simultaneously focused on Obito.
