"Uchiha Madara, you are a rogue ninja of Konoha Village! You have no right to order me around!" A part of Otsutsuki Urashiki's personality influenced Gekko Hayate, making him seem somewhat hysterical.
"Rogue ninja? Without me, the Konoha Village you speak of would never have been built. It was you who betrayed me, not I who betrayed you," Madara said with a menacing tone.
Just as he was about to teach this ungrateful young Konoha ninja a lesson, Senju Hashirama—restored to his prime, having gained a portion of the Six Paths' power, and with six Truth-Seeking Orbs floating behind him—arrived.
Hashirama stood before Gekko Hayate and shook his head firmly at Madara, the meaning clear: As long as I am here, you will not harm a Konoha ninja.
Gekko Hayate was truly startled to see the living First Hokage appear before him.
Hashirama's tone was not so overbearing. Instead, he gave Gekko Hayate an out: "Please, see if you can rescue the Konoha ninja hanging from the trees."
"Yes, Lord First Hokage."
Gekko Hayate held his samurai sword in a reverse grip and slowly backed away. He then climbed a tree, attempting to free the ninja bound by the God: Nativity of a World of Trees.
The two opposing sides paid him no further mind.
"Are they the reincarnations of Indra and Asura? They look a bit old." Looking at the two "old" men standing before her, Kaguya Otsutsuki couldn't help but ask.
"Mother, it is them," Zetsu, a mass of black goo, immediately confirmed. He added, "These two were actually already dead. I don't know how—"
Kaguya stated with certainty, "It must have been Hagoromo. My eldest son still loves to oppose me."
Their conversation wasn't loud, but the moment Zetsu began to speak, Madara's rage flared violently, as if it were doing somersaults. He was about to explode with anger. "Zetsu, you son of a bitch, you dared to deceive me!"
When the Sage of Six Paths had spoken of Zetsu and his schemes, Madara hadn't actually believed him. Zetsu was his own creation; what could he possibly have to do with some Kaguya Otsutsuki! But now the truth was right before his eyes. To continue thinking the two were unrelated would make him a complete fool.
Zetsu let out a few cold laughs. "Madara, you should be grateful. Obito did everything you were supposed to do, and even things you weren't. You see, according to my plan, I was supposed to use your body to resurrect Mother right now. You're even more foolish than I anticipated. As for Obito... well, he had at least a little value."
Uchiha Madara had never been so furious. More than that, he was vexed. For decades, he had been played like a fool, manipulated like a puppet, and he had been completely unaware. In the end, his lucky escape wasn't due to some brilliant strategy or martial prowess, but something more akin to sheer luck.
The Sage of Six Paths' stone tablet, the Uchiha clan's jutsu to save the shinobi world—it was all a damn lie!
Seeing that Senju Hashirama seemed to want to say something, Uchiha Madara impatiently snapped, "What else is there to say? We must finish her today! With her around, there won't be a shinobi world anymore."
Kaguya Otsutsuki was still continuously absorbing chakra through the Infinite Tsukuyomi and God: Nativity of a World of Trees. Once all the chakra was concentrated in her, there would be no ninja left. And if the ninja were gone, what would be left of ninja villages or the shinobi world?
Madara immediately brandished his uchiwa and scythe, charging forward like a whirlwind with ferocious intent.
"Hah..." Hashirama sighed softly. He clapped his hands together, entered Sage Mode, then opened his summoning scroll and took out a giant sword as large as a door panel. He moved to support Madara's attack, flanking Kaguya from the side.
The two of them didn't use moves like Susanoo or True Several Thousand Hands, which were better for crushing weaker foes. Their vast battle experience told them at a glance that Kaguya Otsutsuki's power was immense. Rather than waste chakra, it was better to gather data on the enemy through close-quarters combat and then adjust their tactics accordingly.
There was no exchange of glances or hand signs between them, yet their mutual understanding was unmistakable. In the first move, Madara led the attack while Hashirama provided support, but one look at their stances showed they could switch roles at any moment, with Hashirama taking the lead and Madara supporting.
Kaguya Otsutsuki stood her ground, not moving an inch.
She was not skilled in combat and knew nothing of these ninja techniques. All she had were her own Kekkei Mora abilities.
"...If that's the case, then let's end it all today," she murmured. With no hand seals, the scenery before them changed in an instant.
"Amenominakanaka!"
Her Rinne Sharingan emitted an arcane light.
This was a Kekkei Mora ability, yet it differed from Kekkei Mora in the traditional sense.
"Amenominakanaka" is activated through the Rinne Sharingan.
This eye, which grew after she consumed the Chakra Fruit, possessed only two Kekkei Mora abilities: one was the "Infinite Tsukuyomi," and the other was "Amenominakanaka."
There was no physical contact, no energy conversion, not even the disorienting feeling of spatial teleportation.
With a mere thought, Kaguya Otsutsuki brought Hashirama, Madara, and... Gekko Hayate to another dimension.
The Acid Dimension!
She floated in mid-air, her gaze devoid of joy or sorrow, watching them plummet straight toward the sea of acid.
Holy shit!
If the other two reacted with mere astonishment, Uchiha Madara's reaction was pure rage. He was all too damn familiar with this acid! How, after all that, had he been dragged back here again?
His eyesight was excellent. As he fell, he caught sight of a giant rock floating in mid-air to his left. The gravity in the acid dimension was somewhat uneven, and this rock happened to be in a region where the pull was weaker.
On the back of the rock, on a relatively smooth surface, were two lines of writing.
The first line read: "This is Ino Yamanaka's acid dimension. Trespassers will die!"
The second line was: "I, Uchiha Obito, swear I will kill Ino Yamanaka!"
Following his gaze, Kaguya Otsutsuki also saw the giant rock and the writing on its surface. A hint of confusion crossed the beautiful face of this great matriarch. Didn't I create this dimension with my Amenominakanaka? Who in the world is Ino Yamanaka?
Uchiha Madara: "..."
Who the hell created this damned dimension?
With no time to think, he had no intention of taking another bath in acid. He quickly used his Rinnegan's repulsive force to float in mid-air.
Only then did he look to his sides.
Hashirama possessed the power of the Six Paths. As an elite who had been raised since childhood to be the leader of the Senju clan, his talent for ninjutsu was actually immense. The title "God of Shinobi" was a testament to his abilities. To say he was peerless throughout history might be an exaggeration, but he was undeniably a super genius.
A straightforward personality doesn't mean you're an idiot. Even Naruto managed to grasp how to use the Truth-Seeking Orbs. Senju Hashirama had figured out their purpose on the way here. The Truth-Seeking Orbs contained Yin-Yang and the five elements of chakra; by using them to counteract his own weight, he flew with perfect stability.
