[These useless grunts had never seen a power that could kill someone just by glaring at them, yet they still wouldn't give up. Kaguya was beyond annoyed, so she had no choice but to let them drop dead on the spot.]
[After wiping out most of the grunts from the Land of That, Kaguya took Aino and headed toward the God Tree.]
[The next day, the only surviving commander from the Land of That found the emperor of the Land of Ancestors.]
[Terrified of Kaguya, the Land of That used the excuse of "guarding the border" to ask for a ceasefire. Basically, they said: We're just training near the border, we didn't mean to fight. Your soldiers and ours just happened to clash, that's why things got out of hand.]
[After hearing that excuse, the emperor of the Land of Ancestors, being a total coward and losing badly in the war—plus not knowing that Kaguya had area-wide explosive damage—ended up chopping off Kaguya's head metaphorically and agreed to peace.]
[At the same time, Kaguya was already pregnant with two ungrateful kids. While carrying the babies, Kaguya and her servant Aino were hunted by both countries as if she were a demoness.]
[A bunch of nobodies thought they could take on a pregnant alien? This planet really is full of love, huh.]
"Hmph, that emperor from the Land of Ancestors is such trash."
In Tobirama's office, Madara looked down on that emperor's actions with utter contempt.
He couldn't even protect his own wife—and worse, he joined forces with the enemy to go against her. What kind of man does that?
Even Senju Tobirama wouldn't stoop that low.
Madara had nothing but disdain for the emperor of the Land of Ancestors.
"I can actually understand what that emperor was thinking."
Senju Tobirama, whom Madara also considered morally questionable, had a different view. "He just wanted to protect his people, that's all. His methods were a bit cheap and petty, though."
Madara shot Tobirama a disdainful look and sneered, "Heh, just like you."
Tobirama ignored Madara and turned to Hashirama, asking, "Big brother, if you were in this situation, what would you choose? Would you join the enemy in hunting Kaguya, or would you fight the enemy to protect her?"
Hashirama didn't hesitate and immediately replied, "Of course, I would fight."
Hearing this, Madara seemed to recall something, his face turning dark as he said, "Back then, you fought me for Konoha's sake, and now you say you'd fight to protect your wife. Aren't you being a bit too hypocritical?"
"It's a different situation," Hashirama laughed and patted Madara on the shoulder, calming him down before continuing, "At that time, if I didn't stop you, the village would've been in danger. In my eyes, you were the enemy then.
But the situation on the screen is different.
Kaguya isn't the enemy; the enemy is the people from the other nation.
If I were to give up Kaguya to avoid a war, that would just make them bolder.
If they take Kaguya today, what's stopping them from demanding someone else tomorrow?
And the day after, who else would they want?
To avoid continuous blackmail from that nation, the only choice is war. Even if we lose in the end, at least we die with honor.
I, Senju Hashirama, will stand and die. I will never kneel and live."
These words left everyone deeply moved.
Especially Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Just thinking about the terrible things he did in the original timeline when he was old made him blush with embarrassment.
Meanwhile, in the Third Hokage's timeline, they were also discussing the Emperor of the Land of Ancestors and Kaguya.
"That Emperor of the Land of Ancestors is truly worthless, selling Kaguya so quickly."
Whether as Hokage or a womanizer, Jiraiya had no respect for the Emperor of the Land of Ancestors.
From the Hokage's perspective, if you can't even protect a woman, who can you protect?
From the womanizer's perspective, the enemy was just making verbal threats; they hadn't even launched an attack.
To back down so quickly and even join the enemy in hunting your own wife is both shameless and incompetent.
"In my opinion, even without Kaguya, the Land of Ancestors won't last long. The enemy will destroy them soon."
"I agree with Jiraiya's view. The leader of the Land of Ancestors is truly useless."
As a woman, Tsunade chose to stand on Kaguya's side at this moment.
It wasn't about good or bad; she simply felt that Kaguya was being wronged.
Orochimaru didn't criticize the Emperor of the Land of the Ancestors like Jiraiya and Tsunade did. He only sighed and said, "I never expected the legendary ancestor of chakra to be such a simple woman."
"Indeed, if it weren't for knowing that Kaguya is the ancestor of chakra, just looking at the situation in the video, Kaguya would just seem like a pitiful woman abandoned by her husband, right?"
"Pitiful or not, that's not a reason for her to want to destroy the ninja world."
"Well, no matter what kind of harm she's suffered, I absolutely won't agree to release her."
"For the peace of the ninja world, I also disagree."

[Kaguya and Aino hid for a few days before being found.]
[The army closed in, and Aino tried to protect Kaguya but was shot dead by stray arrows.]
[Kaguya eventually approached the God Tree, ate a fruit, and transformed into a small dragon-like figure with horns on her head. A Rinnegan also appeared on her forehead.]
[After gaining power, Kaguya unleashed the Infinite Tsukuyomi, wiping out the armies of two nations.]
[Thus, Kaguya naturally ruled the countries and gave birth to two little aliens: Hagoromo and Hamura.]
[Afterward, she began the worship of the God Tree and, in order to suppress rebellions, destroyed the entire nation of the Land of the Ancestors.]
Tobirama observed Kaguya's image on the screen, lost in thought. "It seems that Kaguya wasn't originally the ancestor of chakra; she only became the ancestor of chakra after eating that chakra fruit."
The difference before and after Kaguya ate the fruit was too noticeable.
Before eating the fruit, there were no horns on her head, just a pair of Byakugan eyes and no Rinnegan. Her personality was also more naive and sweet.
After eating the fruit, not only did her external appearance change, but her personality seemed to have turned violent as well.
The order to hunt down Kaguya came from the higher-ups of the Land of the Ancestors. Everyone present agreed with the idea of killing them.
Even though Kaguya had killed soldiers from the other country, everyone could still understand.
But why did she have to kill the civilians of the other country?
Whether during the Warring States period or the current era of villages and countries, massacring civilians is always something that people would condemn.
"Perhaps, just as Tobirama said, Kaguya's temperament has become brutal."
Following Hashirama's words, Madara also nodded in agreement, saying, "I guess that's the case. She became ruthless in order to suppress the rapidly increasing chakra within her. This explanation makes sense."
Everyone knew that from the moment Kaguya chose to eat the chakra fruit, she was no longer that naive and sweet person. She had become the true origin of chakra.
Kaguya: From now on, please call me Otsutsuki Kaguya!
