The light screen video said that after Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, new enemies would appear in the shinobi world.
And this new enemy comes from the Ōtsutsuki clan itself.
Kaguya produced a large number of White Zetsu mostly to prepare for being hunted by her own clan members.
During that time, the Sage of Six Paths must have noticed something, otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in the Pure Land without reincarnating.
If the Sage of Six Paths could revive Naruto and Sasuke, then could he also revive others in the Pure Land?
If he really could do that, then can we say that he treats these powerful dead shinobi as his bargaining chips to fight against the enemy?
Normally, using Edo Tensei, the Sage of Six Paths didn't stop it.
But when people from the Second Hokage timeline traveled to the Third Hokage timeline and kept reviving Danzo's clones there, Tobirama thought that if he were the Sage of Six Paths, he would feel something was wrong too, so stopping them from reviving clones that crossed timelines makes sense.
After all, the Sage hadn't yet discovered their true purpose, and the "soldiers" in the Pure Land cannot have any mistakes.
If the meat rots in the pot, at least you can still eat it.
But if it rots outside, then you can't eat it at all.
Similarly, normally when Edo Tensei revives the dead, no matter what happens, their souls eventually return to the Pure Land.
But these people who can travel through time are different. What if they bring the clones back to their own timeline?
Wouldn't that mean the Pure Land loses a soul?
No one would want to lose out like that in a deal.
The more Tobirama thought about it, the more convinced he became that this was exactly what was happening.
He couldn't help but feel a little headache.
Naruto and Sasuke only met the Sage of Six Paths in the Pure Land after death.
He wanted to go negotiate with the Sage of Six Path—he couldn't just kill himself, right?
Actually, killing himself wasn't a big deal since they had the resurrection technique. Dying a few times wasn't that serious.
But according to Uchiha Madara, after he died, he didn't feel anything about the Pure Land. It was like sleeping—eyes closed and opened, and he revived by himself.
That meant if the Sage of Six Path didn't want to see him, no matter how many times he died, he still wouldn't meet him.
"Tch, there must be a way. I refuse to believe that after I release Kaguya, he won't come to find us."
With that thought, Tobirama came up with a plan to meet the Sage of Six Paths. But this matter needed careful consideration and also others' cooperation.
Back in the middle of the main force, Second Tobirama saw Edo Tobirama staring at him with a curious look.
As counterparts in this timeline, Second Tobirama didn't need to guess what Edo Tobirama was thinking.
"Stop staring like that. I'm you, and you're me."
"Since we're the same person, why didn't I invent the resurrection technique?"
Apparently, when Second Tobirama asked about Naruto, he had roughly told them his background.
"What else could it be? You're just stupid."
Speaking of stupid, Second Tobirama remembered Edo Tobirama who appeared during the Third Hokage's plan to collapse Konoha.
If we're talking about stupidity, that one is truly stupid.
Clearly, it was a technique he invented himself, yet he still got trapped by Orochimaru—what a disgrace to the legacy of Senju Tobirama.
"All right, we're about to leave soon. Before we go, I'll hand over the scroll of the Resurrection Technique to Tsunade."
"Tsunade? Are you sure she can learn it?"
"It doesn't matter if she can't learn it. As long as Orochimaru can, that's enough."
Edo Tobirama nodded.
After this battle, regardless of what others think, Konoha will reclaim its place as the top ninja village.
Not to mention that support could come from Hokage of other timelines, even just the strength of Naruto and Sasuke alone is beyond what any other village can challenge.
In this situation, someone as clever as Orochimaru will definitely return to Konoha.
Unless he wants to be hunted down by Naruto or Sasuke.
Just the thought of being chased by such powerful shinobi made even Edo Tobirama shiver.
Two Tobiramas were talking nearby, and two Hashiramas were also conversing.
But their conversations hardly involved themselves; most of it was about Uchiha Madara.
In the end, Edo Hashirama sighed and said, "Madara in this timeline is really pitiful, he died without even a body left."
After Kaguya was revived, her body was actually Madara's body.
In the original story, Kaguya was sealed by Naruto and Sasuke, and her body was returned to Madara.
But now that Kaguya has surrendered, they couldn't let her commit suicide and give up Madara's body, right?
"Don't worry, I'll make sure Madara leaves some cells behind to resurrect the Madara of this timeline."
The Second Hashirama patted his chest confidently, then went off to find the bored Second Madara nearby.
"Wait, the soul of that Madara you mentioned is currently still hidden inside my body. If his soul isn't allowed to return to the Pure Land, you probably won't be able to revive him."
"Ah? Then what should we do?"
Hearing this, the two Hashiras looked a bit discouraged.
They really couldn't think of a way to let Madara's soul return to the Pure Land without harming Kaguya.
But just because they couldn't think of it, didn't mean others couldn't.
By the side, quietly chewing on the idea of a Hashirama x Mito ship, Uzumaki Mito spoke up.
"I have a way. Soon, I'll pull the Tailed Beasts out of Kaguya's body, turning the Ten-Tails back into nine Tailed Beasts. At the same time, I can pull out Madara's soul too."
"Oh, so that's possible."
The two Hashiramas' eyes lit up. Happy, they looked at Mito and even gave her a thumbs-up.
"As expected of my wife." x2
Mito rolled her eyes and stopped paying attention to the two goofs.
She approached Kaguya and asked, "Are you ready?"
Kaguya knew that to make everyone feel at ease, she had to give up the Ten-Tails.
At her life level, even losing the Ten-Tails wouldn't kill her, but she would be weak for a long time.
Then she thought, trading some weakness for her life was definitely worth it.
"Let's do it."
Seeing Kaguya's determined, almost ready-to-die expression, Mito thought she was worried about losing the Ten-Tails and comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't separate the Ten-Tails completely. I'll keep some of its chakra in your body."
"Really?"
"Of course. But don't get too happy too soon. I'll only leave a very small part of the Ten-Tails' chakra—just enough for you to barely qualify as a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."
Kaguya did not expect a ray of hope after the darkness.
She would never reject the Ten-Tails' chakra, even if it was just a small part.
"All right, I'm going to use the sealing technique now."
"Okay, go ahead."
Seeing Kaguya ready, Mito began forming hand signs and used the sealing technique to divide the chakra.
If it were her old self, she definitely wouldn't have been able to handle the Ten-Tails' chakra.
Fortunately, after being revived, Tobirama Senju added some enhancements inside her clone body, like Hashirama's cells, which strengthened her body a lot.
This allowed her to successfully separate the Ten-Tails' chakra and also pull out Madara Uchiha's soul.
"All right, our time here is up. We leave everything else to you all."
After the Ten-Tails' chakra was divided, under the watchful eyes of the nine tailed beasts and the shinobi, the Second Hokage timeline's Mito Uzumaki, and the others disappeared before them.
