[Madara Uchiha: Put that way, Naruto, I sound like a terrible person...]
[Tobirama Senju: …]
[Hashirama Senju: My brother is biting his tongue right now to keep from yelling... I don't think he'd say anything nice, honestly.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Heh, I can imagine.]
[Mito Uzumaki: And because of all this, Madara should be expelled from the group.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: You just want her kicked out to keep her away from Hashirama.]
[Mito Uzumaki: …]
[Tobirama Senju: HASHIRAMA, STOP COVERING MY MOUTH, DAMN IT!]
[Hashirama Senju: …]
[Tobirama Senju: I TOLD YOU! MADARA IS THE CANCER OF THIS WORLD! KICK HER OUT ALREADY! NARUTO, LISTEN TO MITO!]
[Naruto Uzumaki: …I think he's lost it a little.]
[Mito Uzumaki: Hashirama had covered his mouth and tied him up… After everything you said, that was the only sensible option.]
[Hashirama Senju: I got distracted for a second. I still don't know how he escaped...]
[Tobirama Senju: Madara will only bring chaos to the world if she's revived, Naruto! What I just heard was the last straw! From now on I'll be watching you day and night, Madara!]
[Madara Uchiha: Oh. That's fine.]
[Tobirama Senju: …]
[Hashirama Senju: You accept it that easily, Madara?]
[Madara Uchiha: Hasn't it always been this way? Tobirama's been watching me for years. Nothing changes.]
[Tobirama Senju: …]
[Naruto Uzumaki: No. No… she's got a point.]
[Tobirama Senju: And what the hell is the Eye of the Moon Plan? What kind of technique is the Infinite Tsukuyomi? You mentioned something about a dream world...]
[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: The Infinite Tsukuyomi is the most powerful genjutsu that exists. Only someone with the Rinne Sharingan can activate it.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: To cast it over the entire planet, the Rinne Sharingan is reflected off the surface of the moon. That way, everyone is trapped in an illusion based on their desires.]
Naruto hadn't expected Hagoromo to join the conversation, but considering he was the one who knew the most about the Infinite Tsukuyomi and the Rinne Sharingan, his involvement made perfect sense.
[Naruto Uzumaki: When Madara obtained Wood Release with Hashirama's DNA, she also managed to awaken the Rinnegan thanks to the combination of Indra's and Ashura's chakra.]
[Hashirama Senju: WAIT, MADARA HAS THE RINNEGAN?! FIGHT ME RIGHT NOW! YOU'VE BEEN HIDING YOUR POWER FROM ME!]
[Madara Uchiha: They're exposing all my plans and secrets. Hiding part of my power from you is the least of my problems...]
[Hashirama Senju: Don't be so dramatic! Fight me!]
[Madara Uchiha: Did you just call me dramatic...?]
[Mito Uzumaki: Husband, please, be quiet for a moment.]
[Hashirama Senju: Now you're taking Madara's side? You wanted her out just a moment ago!]
[Mito Uzumaki: I said be quiet!]
[Hashirama Senju: Yes, dear...]
[Naruto Uzumaki: First Ashura, now Hashirama… I'm warning you all now, my future wives are not going to treat me like I'm their pet.]
[Mito Uzumaki: You too, Naruto, shut up!]
[Naruto Uzumaki: What did you say...?]
[Group Leader Naruto Uzumaki has muted Mito Uzumaki for 3 minutes.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Just because you're like my grandmother doesn't give you the right to talk to me like that, grumpy old lady, mhpm.]
[Hashirama Senju: That...! Master Naruto, let me be your disciple! Teach me how to tame furious beasts like her!]
[Naruto Uzumaki: You're screwed. You've got three minutes left to live, if you're lucky...]
[Hashirama Senju: Huh...?]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Did you forget that even though she's muted, Mito can still READ the messages?]
[Hashirama Senju: NOT EVEN A MINUTE HAS PASSED AND SHE'S ALREADY CHASING ME!!]
[Tobirama Senju: Ignoring my idiot brother… Fine, Madara has the Rinnegan. But how the hell would she get the Rinne Sharingan?]
[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: The only possible method for her would be becoming a Jinchūriki.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: And not just any Jinchūriki. In the past, the Bijū were once one. Hagoromo was the one who split them. From the Jūbi were born the current Bijū: Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Gokū, Kokuō, Saiken, Chōmei, Gyūki, and Kurama. That's why Akatsuki seeks to gather the Bijū.]
[Yahiko: But Nagato would never agree to carry out a plan like the Infinite Tsukuyomi!]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Dude… you need to speak more often. I always forget you're in this group.]
[Yahiko: …]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Like I told you before, Nagato's plan comes from his belief that only by understanding pain can one achieve peace. He wants to use the Bijū to create a deterrent weapon. To enforce peace through fear.]
[Yahiko: And like I once told you... if you'd give me a chance to talk to him, I could make him see reason.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: I know that. But the problem isn't Nagato. It's Black Zetsu. He was secretly created by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki after being sealed by Hagoromo and Hamura. He's been manipulating everything from the shadows for a very long time. First Indra, then Madara... If I revive you, you'll be sent back to the Pure World in record time.]
[Indra Ōtsutsuki: Wait, Black Zetsu is still alive...?]
[Naruto Uzumaki: To think someone like you was fooled by that idiot...]
[Tobirama Senju: I have to admit, brat. I'm surprised to see you sharing so much information without asking for anything in return.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Uh… well…]
[Tobirama Senju: Don't tell me you… forgot?]
[Naruto Uzumaki: O-of course not! Come on, we're all good friends! You guys always end up helping me when I need it. I don't have to keep asking for things…]
[Ashura Ōtsutsuki: You asked me for Wood Release a few days ago.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Indra, control your pet, make him shut up!]
[Ashura Ōtsutsuki: That's playing dirty…]
[Indra Ōtsutsuki: Relax, Naruto. I'll make him come to his senses before he says another dumb thing.]
[Tobirama Senju: Honestly, I've almost got nothing left to give you… But tell me, who exactly is Kaguya Ōtsutsuki?]
[Ashura Ōtsutsuki: Oh, oh! I know the answer! She's my—!]
[Hamura Ōtsutsuki: Kaguya, known as the Rabbit Goddess in ancient times, was our mother. Hagoromo's and mine.]
[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki: She was also the first to attempt casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Hamura and I managed to stop her, combining our strength to seal her. Thanks to that, the moon now exists...]
[Ashura Ōtsutsuki: I wanted to say it…]
Fortunately, Hagoromo and Hamura seemed to have realized that he was avoiding mentioning the Shinju in the group chat.
The Shinju is a type of giant tree that grows by absorbing the blood spilled in countless battles, over the span of a millennium.
He had also avoided mentioning the Chakra Fruit.
[Madara Uchiha: I'm not interested in this so-called Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. What I want to know is... What do you plan to do with Obito, brat?]
Naruto, sitting on Garuda, didn't need to think too hard.
[Naruto Uzumaki: What else? Obviously, I'm going to kill him.]
[Madara Uchiha: …]
[Hashirama Senju: Wait, is that really necessary? According to the stories Rin told when she was still in the group, Obito didn't seem like a bad person. Actually, he reminds me a lot of Nawaki. His change was caused by the war… and Madara's manipulation. Wouldn't it be better to try helping him?]
[Naruto Uzumaki: And you think that justifies everything he's done? Obito is going to die. I might bring him back later, but his death will be by my—]
[Hashirama Senju: By your own hands! I love that phrase!]
[Madara Uchiha: Though you won't be able to use it much anymore, now that you've found out you didn't kill me in the Valley of the End.]
[Hashirama Senju: I can't say I killed you with my own hands, but I can say I humiliated you with them!]
[Madara Uchiha: That...]
[Hashirama Senju: I can say I gave you the beating of your life with my own hands!]
[Hashirama Senju: That I dragged you across the ground with my own hands!]
[Hashirama Senju: That I almost killed you with my own hands!]
[Madara Uchiha: OKAY, WE GET IT, SHUT UP ALREADY!]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Heh…]
Naruto logged out of the group chat when he noticed that Hashirama and Madara weren't going to stop arguing anytime soon.
Although, if someone were to ask Mito directly, she'd probably say they were actually flirting.
Kree-arrr!
Garuda let out a deep growl upon spotting, in the distance, a strange structure that looked like an ancient, seemingly abandoned temple.
When they got close enough for Naruto to see the place clearly, he recognized it immediately.
A smile appeared on his face as he realized they had already crossed the border into the Land of Demons.
That temple was the same one where, in the past, the soul of Mōryō, the Demon from Another World, had been sealed. It was the mother of the current Priestess of the Land of Demons, Miroku, who performed the seal.
She had given her life to do it, confining Mōryō's soul inside this temple, while his body was locked away in a different location, in the Land of Swamps.
Landing gently, Garuda folded his wings as Naruto jumped off his back, walking on foot toward the entrance of the ancient temple.
He frowned immediately, looking around.
There were no guards protecting the place.
Only silence…
And four corpses lay scattered near the entrance, their bodies in a deplorable state.
They were charred, with clear signs of being hit by fire and wind techniques, in addition to multiple deep cuts that showed the brutality of the attack.
Naruto knelt beside one of them, carefully examining the wounds.
He knew who they were.
"The Four-Man Band..." he muttered to himself, with disdain.
They were subordinates of Yomi, an expert in Dark Medical Ninjutsu and a direct descendant of an ancient line of Mōryō cultists.
Yomi possessed a forbidden technique that greatly amplified his followers' strength, pushing the Four-Man Band beyond their natural limits.
The technique was very similar to Orochimaru's Cursed Seal of Heaven, though with obvious differences.
Naruto couldn't remember the names of the Four-Man Band, and frankly, he didn't care. They were never truly relevant.
What he did remember was that each one mastered one—or maybe two—of the five basic nature elements.
What was truly alarming was something else.
Yomi had already released Mōryō's soul.
That wasn't supposed to happen yet. According to the original events, there were still at least a couple more years before that took place.
And with Mōryō's soul already inside Yomi's body, that could only mean one thing…
The current Priestess of the Land of Demons was in danger.
Had she requested help from Konoha, like in the original timeline?
Naruto could only hope—and wish—that she hadn't...
