"Stall him?"
Orochimaru nodded. Obito was still relatively pragmatic, he hadn't thought of relying on Edo Tensei to turn the tables.
"Don't worry, that much won't be a problem."
"Then Obito, let's get ready to depart."
Black Zetsu spoke at the opportune moment, cutting them off, afraid Orochimaru would say something he shouldn't.
"After all, time is pressing. We can't delay too long."
"Alright, I'll go see Nagato first."
Obito thought for a moment and then said.
Nagato was still within his Kamui, and he needed to deal with him first.
"Meet in five minutes, then we'll depart."
As soon as he finished speaking, he had already vanished from the spot. Black Zetsu waited until Obito had completely disappeared before speaking quietly.
"Orochimaru, what needed to be prepared for you has been prepared. What about your side?"
"The Hyuga clan, do you think this is the key?" Orochimaru licked his lips, asking curiously.
"Just like the Senju and Uchiha? The Kaguya clan and Hyuga..."
"There's a strong possibility, and don't forget that Kaguya and Hyuga are connected to each other."
Black Zetsu sighed. He actually didn't want to say any of this, but since things had come to this, there was nothing left to say.
"Getting the Byakugan should solve Kimimaro's problem, so Madara..."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Orochimaru licked his lips, his face full of smiles.
"As long as there are no problems, I guarantee you a Madara at his peak."
"That's good then..."
Black Zetsu smiled when he heard this. However, he felt a little disdainful in his heart.
'Do you truly know what Madara's peak looks like...?'
While the Akatsuki was preparing, the Second Elder of the Ōtsutsuki clan from the moon brought Toneri to the outskirts of Konoha.
"Grandpa, where are we?"
Toneri asked curiously, and the Second Elder smiled.
"A place where you can find a suitable pair of eyes."
Actually, the Second Elder could have given his own eyes to Toneri.
But before his death, he was more willing to burn himself out to find a better pair of eyes, especially since they had already targeted the 'Byakugan Princess'.
Originally, they preferred her to become Toneri's wife, so that the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon could continue to multiply.
But given the current situation, it's better to consider more realistic things.
As he spoke, his gaze turned to the silver moon in the sky.
Three years had passed, that guy shouldn't still be watching, right?
"Then..."
The Second Elder murmured, and suddenly he sensed something. His Byakugan instantly activated.
"How coincidental, those guys are here? And they seem to want to do something too?"
"Perfect, I'll use these lower beings to get what I want."
Konoha, Anbu Headquarters.
"Hmph, brat, did you see that?!"
Tobirama seemed to be in a much better mood, a rare smile appearing on his usually cold face.
"Your deduction was wrong. How could Asura be jealous of Indra? The Sage of Six Paths also left something for us."
He had been tormented these past few days. Both the relationship between the Senju and Uchiha, and Takemi's words, had been provoking him.
He had even been prepared to search through family records to 'rewrite history,' but fortunately, he finally found it.
"This thing was buried too deep, it was really hard to find."
Tsunade complained and Hashirama nodded.
"That's right, it's strange. Who took it and buried it deep underground?"
"Never mind who it was, at least we found it."
Tobirama didn't care about those things. Whether they had it or not was the most important thing.
"Moreover, it requires special Chakra to see the content, just like the Uchiha's, which proves it's real."
"There really is such a thing..."
Hiruzen looked on with some curiosity, while Kakashi and Jiraiya were both a little incredulous.
Only Guy and Naruto, who came along, looked bewildered, completely unaware of what any of this meant.
Sasuke, however, snorted. He had originally been pondering how the Sage of Six Paths favored his family, but unexpectedly, that idea was gone in an instant.
"Hey, do you know what that is?"
Naruto tugged on Sasuke's clothes, asking in a low voice, but Sasuke merely snorted.
"Idiot, now isn't the time to ask about this. I'll tell you later."
"Tch."
Naruto muttered softly, but didn't dwell on it further.
Under his parents' guidance, although he sometimes got carried away, he was generally quite good.
"I called everyone here today, on one hand, to look at the information above." Tobirama scanned the people present and spoke.
"On the other hand, it's for Edo Tensei. The list has been confirmed, and we can give it a good try."
"Edo Tensei is fine, I also have some thoughts."
Takemi spoke up now. He looked at the 'project' he had also participated in and suddenly asked curiously.
"That's strange, why are your relics pieces of tree bark? Could it be..."
"Nonsense! This thing clearly has thousands of years of history!"
Although Tobirama was agitated, he wasn't completely overwhelmed by it.
Using tree bark as a token also felt absurd to him, but Takemi's 'could it be that you faked it' look was even more irritating.
"And the fact that it requires Chakra to read can't be faked. Besides, it's precisely because the token is something like this that it could have been lost."
"Then can you see the information on it? You are all Edo Tensei."
Takemi's reminder was useless, so he didn't say more, and Tobirama shook his head upon hearing that.
"We can't see it all. Our current bodies are too weak. That's why we need to test the new Edo Tensei."
Hashirama and Tobirama hadn't changed bodies. On one hand, there was no suitable vessel, so it didn't matter if they changed or not.
On the other hand, Hashirama naturally disagreed, especially since Konoha didn't need them to fight currently, which greatly frustrated Tobirama.
He didn't want to keep using a body like this, but fortunately, he now had a reason.
"Although it's still difficult to find a body that can bear our power, at least we can see more. Currently, the information we can see is too little."
"Sensei, what did you see?"
Hiruzen asked curiously, while Tsunade's expression became solemn.
"Just like the Uchiha's, the beginning is all legendary stories, but there's one crucial piece of information: we know the Rabbit Goddess's name."
"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya."
Hashirama and Tobirama's faces both became grim, and the appearance of this name changed the gazes of everyone present.
The Rabbit Goddess was a legendary existence, a figure who destroyed the world.
To have the same surname as such a terrifying existence...
"No wonder he can be so strong!"
Jiraiya took a deep breath, he seemed to understand something.
"No wonder the Great Toad Sage reacted so violently when he heard the name Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki."
"So, the relationship between these two..."
Kakashi spoke up, but Takemi, sensing his thoughts were wrong, immediately interrupted.
"Their relationship isn't important. What's important is that such an existence suddenly appearing will probably only bring trouble."
"That's right, this will only be trouble!" Tobirama nodded, his expression exceptionally grave.
"The same surname as the Rabbit Goddess, especially with him targeting the Tailed Beasts, has already determined our stance."
"Sigh."
Hashirama couldn't help but sigh, and everyone present fell into a deathly silence.
Takemi and Tobirama investigating in the direction of mythology, they originally thought it was a bit absurd.
But considering that the Rinnegan already existed, investigating was fine. Who knew they would actually find the very thing they least wanted to believe?
