"So this is how Kaguya was sealed."
In the Third Hokage Time-space, everyone watched as Kaguya was sealed by her own son, and their emotions were quite complicated.
On one hand, from an emotional perspective, they felt a bit of sympathy for Kaguya. As a mother, she was sealed by her own son. Doesn't this count as going against the heavens?
Kaguya: "I'd rather be born as a fast-roasted BBQ pork than have you two rebellious sons."
On the other hand, from a human standpoint, they felt that sealing Kaguya was the right thing to do.
If she hadn't been sealed, given the God Tree's ability to transform humans into White Zetsu at that speed, humanity would eventually turn into nothing but those White Zetsu creatures.
"You can only say, the Great Toad Sage sure knows how to persuade. If the Sage of the Six Paths and his brother hadn't sealed Kaguya, there might not be any humans left on this continent by now."
"Hmm, no matter what the Great Toad Sage's purpose was, if we look at the outcome alone, it was definitely the right thing to do."
As humans, naturally, they needed to consider humanity's well-being.
No matter how much they sympathized with Kaguya, they would never let her out.
Just as everyone was praising the Great Toad Sage's actions, Orochimaru suddenly spoke up, "By the way, don't you think something's odd?"
Jiraiya responded with confusion, "What's so strange? Are you questioning the Great Toad Sage's intentions?"
Orochimaru shook his head, "Aren't you curious about why Kaguya wanted to turn humans into White Zetsu?"
"Hm, that is strange. We all know what White Zetsu is. It's only the level of a Chunin at most. Logically, with Kaguya and the Six Paths brothers' power, they shouldn't have needed White Zetsu at all."
Hearing Orochimaru's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
Indeed, in that era, only Kaguya and her two sons had chakra.
To ordinary humans, they were no different from gods.
So why would beings like that need White Zetsu?
Seeing that everyone had started to think deeply, Jiraiya turned to Orochimaru and said, "Do you have any thoughts?"
Orochimaru replied, "Do you think there's a possibility that Kaguya created the White Zetsu to guard against enemies?"
"Enemies?"
Upon hearing this, Tsunade shook her head and replied, "That's unlikely. With the White Zetsu's mediocre strength, aside from their sheer numbers, what else can they do?"
"Right. If the enemy is stronger than Kaguya, no matter how many White Zetsu there are, they won't be useful. If the enemy is weaker than Kaguya, she could easily wipe out a bunch with a wave of her hand, so White Zetsu would be even more useless."
Everyone agreed with Jiraiya's point.
The White Zetsu's average strength was indeed useless against someone like Kaguya.
"Heh, don't forget, Kaguya's full name is Otsutsuki Kaguya."
None of them were fools, and with Orochimaru's reminder, they immediately understood.
"So, you mean to say that Otsutsuki is a clan, and Kaguya was preparing for her own clan?"
"I think that's the case."
Orochimaru nodded and continued, "We all know that a clan is made up of many parts. If Kaguya was truly preparing for the Otsutsuki clan, then her creation of the White Zetsu makes sense."
"Mm, Orochimaru, you're right. Kaguya likely created the White Zetsu to guard against the weaker members of the Otsutsuki clan. With the massive numbers of White Zetsu, as long as they don't reach a certain level, they can use their numbers to hold off opponents, allowing Kaguya to focus on fighting stronger enemies."
Orochimaru chuckled, humbly saying, "Whether it's right or wrong, I can't say for sure. But besides that, I really can't think of any other use for the White Zetsu."
At that moment, the Third Hokage's face became serious as he said, "If your guess is correct, does that mean we might soon face the same enemies Kaguya had to deal with?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the office, which had been slightly noisy just moments ago, suddenly fell into a deep silence.
After a brief pause, Asuma, with a slightly nervous expression, spoke to the Third Hokage:
"It shouldn't be that bad, right? After all, so much time has passed. Perhaps the enemy Kaguya was worried about doesn't even exist. We might just be scaring ourselves here."
The Third Hokage glanced at his foolish son, then at Jiraiya, before continuing:
"Jiraiya, from the perspective of writing a story, after the final boss Kaguya was resealed, if you were to write a sequel to the story…"
"Don't say it, old man, I get what you mean," Jiraiya interrupted.
At this point, Jiraiya's face looked very grim.
From the perspective of a great author, he could responsibly say that if Kaguya truly had an enemy to worry about, one who hadn't appeared in the first part of the story, then this enemy would definitely show up in the sequel.
When he wrote the "Icha Icha" series, he often left clues and hooks, introducing characters in the second book that hadn't appeared in the first.
Let's not forget, they already knew that the world they were in was actually a part of a work called "Naruto."
Thanks to the existence of the screen, they could change their fate and step outside the boundaries of the story.
But under the original fate's path, what was meant to appear, would always appear.
The enemy Kaguya had to be extremely cautious about — Jiraiya couldn't even imagine how strong this enemy could be.
[Everyone's been complaining about the TV group's original storyline and too many flashbacks, but honestly, the Six Paths family flashbacks in the anime somewhat made up for the lack of Kaguya's character development as the big boss in the manga, turning her from a ruthless scapegoat boss into a tragic alien.]
[It's like I became the big villain, but I have my reasons. Even though I'm the big boss, there's someone even more amazing behind me.]
[So, in the end, the destruction of humanity, that blame should still go to our old buddy Danzo, as usual.]
"Looks like there are even stronger enemies."
In the office of Tobirama, no one was really surprised by the mention of stronger enemies on the light screen.
If Orochimaru from the Third Hokage's time could analyze this, then Senju Tobirama could certainly do the same.
But analysis is one thing. Once they confirmed it, everyone's expressions grew serious.
Only Uchiha Madara's expression seemed a little better.
Before the fight even started, he would never admit he was weaker than others.
Senju Hashirama was actually the same. He wouldn't admit being weaker, but after his younger brother's earlier actions, his expression had been grim ever since.
"If there really are aliens stronger than Kaguya, then, big brother, you better be ready to become the Jinchuriki of the Ten Tails."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Tobirama's words, everyone was immediately shocked.
Especially Hashirama and Izuna.
Hashirama never considered becoming the Jinchuriki of the Ten Tails.
Izuna, on the other hand, thought the role of the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki should go to his older brother, Madara, since in the original story, Madara had already become the Jinchuriki of the Ten Tails.
That could be considered experience, right?
