"Hmph, you're the most enthusiastic one now."
Tobirama glanced at his elder brother, but he didn't spoil the mood and spoke seriously.
"Without suitable materials, Edo Tensei is only a weakening for you and me, especially for you..."
"How much approximately?"
"I can't be sure, after all, we haven't tried it, and the lack of suitable materials makes it even more troublesome."
"Then let's try it. We can slowly figure out a way later, after all, we lost something important this time, didn't we?"
"That's true…"
Tobirama nodded, but he felt his old brother was acting strangely. However, he didn't say much. It was a good thing that his brother was willing to try.
He had long been fed up with the current situation.
'That guy named Obito has Madara's Chakra on him…'
He didn't know, however, that Hashirama had other thoughts in his mind.
He had fought Madara extensively, and he was very sensitive to his Chakra. He detected the traces left by Madara in Obito's heart, which made him realize something.
Moreover, Konoha's past profiling of Obito also mentioned that he might have been swayed and had someone behind him.
All of this made him realize one thing: the Akatsuki would probably use Edo Tensei on Madara.
"Will it be you?" Hashirama murmured to himself, finally clenching his fist.
"Madara…"
In the Land of Rain, inside the Akatsuki base, Nagato looked at the 'Senju Relic' in his hand, his face filled with disbelief.
"I never thought it would be like this!"
Black Zetsu and Obito had told him about the Uchiha stone tablet, but he had never actually seen what it looked like. But the ancient-looking tree bark before him was real, and his eyes could see the special information on it.
"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was indeed sealed by the Sage of Six Paths and his brother together, not by the Sage of Six Paths alone…"
"So, that Takemi might be a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths's younger brother?"
Orochimaru asked with some doubt, after all, he held core technology. As long as he wanted to, he could always infiltrate the higher ranks.
"No wonder he's so special. He can master Wood Release and Dust Release, and he also possesses Ice Release, Sage Mode, and Flying Thunder God. He's an incredible guy."
"It's highly possible, but the specific situation still needs investigation."
Black Zetsu pursed his lips. His mind was still a bit chaotic, as the previous war between the two Ōtsutsuki had too strong an impact on him.
"What's there to investigate?"
But Obito snorted coldly, looking at everyone present.
"Whether it is or isn't no longer matters, after all, he is our enemy now."
"Even if he's an enemy, it doesn't matter. If a fight breaks out, we'll lure it towards Konoha. I don't believe he won't move."
Nagato gritted his teeth and spoke. The tree bark had confirmed his thoughts, so many things could become simpler now.
"But I heard that Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki appeared again this time. He was fighting someone."
"Someone from who knows where, like one of his clan members."
Obito muttered, but then shook his head.
"No matter who it is, they've probably already failed. That Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki is simply too terrifying."
"Another… Ōtsutsuki?"
"Similar but different. That guy is strong, but he doesn't have the oppressive feeling of Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki. A very strange person."
"Are there still existences similar to Ōtsutsuki? Is his goal Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki?"
"Unclear, they just started fighting for no reason."
Obito's words left everyone present somewhat confused. Could there be existences similar to Ōtsutsuki in this world?
Only Black Zetsu, who had been silent on the side, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
'Goal?'
He murmured, his eyes slowly lighting up.
'That's right, the goal. That guy's goal is probably Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki, but it's different. Perhaps his goal is…'
Takemi!
Combining his tree bark being modified, with Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki's unhesitating action, and what Obito said about him being like an Ōtsutsuki but different, the answer seemed to be on the tip of his tongue.
'That guy came from the moon. He should have wanted to check on Takemi's situation and also intended to notify Takemi of the crisis.'
'He found what I left behind, so he acted and changed it, because Takemi can most likely see it.'
'It's just that he was unlucky and was detected by Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki, so he fought desperately to get away from Konoha, and Konoha wasn't affected.'
It connected, everything connected!
Although Black Zetsu himself felt it was a bit far-fetched, at least his stuff was changed, Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki appeared, and there was a person suspected to be an Ōtsutsuki.
And under such terrifying combat, Konoha remained intact. Everything seemed to make sense.
Thinking of this, Black Zetsu finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although there were still some things that needed to be confirmed, at least he felt it shouldn't be his problem.
'After all, if they really wanted to trouble me, they would have made it clear long ago.'
As Black Zetsu felt slightly relieved, Isshiki, who was hidden, clenched his fists.
'A bunch of inferior beings, how dare they arbitrarily comment on us?'
However, he ultimately did nothing, merely letting his gaze fall upon Nagato.
'The Rinnegan, it's not his own, and his potential is far better than that Obito…'
He hesitated. This guy's physique surprised him slightly. If he used this guy as a 'Karma'…
'Forget it, he's just a short-lived fellow.'
But in the end, he shook his head and gave up on Nagato. He seemed intent on confronting Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki directly, which he found laughable.
Facing that guy would be certain death. These rotten fish and shrimp, every single one of them, would die.
'Is it maintaining the Ōtsutsuki's arrogance?'
As for why they were alive, Isshiki had an answer. If it were him, he probably wouldn't want to casually kill these ants.
After all, it was humiliating, and besides, it wasted the god tree's energy.
But if he chose Nagato as his 'Karma', that Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki would definitely strike hard
'It's still this Obito. After all, there's a dimension, and at least some interesting ocular techniques…'
…
As the Ninja World was in turmoil, inside Amenominaka.
Violent Chakra was constantly brewing, and it was unknown how much time had passed. Suddenly, a wondrous aura echoed throughout Amenominaka.
This aura caused the space to tremble, and even the enormous god tree source swayed gently.
"Hoo."
Takemi slowly opened his eyes. Those brilliant, flowing eyes were extraordinarily wondrous at this moment.
He lowered his head and looked at the gigantic tree below, which had grown even larger and now overshadowed everything.
At this moment, a smile appeared on his lips, and just then, his status panel appeared before his eyes.
