Big Pillar Hanhan: ???

Big Pillar Hanhan: Wait a minute, translate the words below. Why didn't I understand?

Fourth Raikage Ai:

Uchiha Madara is wreaking havoc in Cloud Shinobi Village right now.

Since you're one of his old comrades, can't you do something about it?

I mean, I'm already dead, and all I can do is complain in the Pure Land.

Namikaze Minato:

Fourth Raikage.

Fourth Raikage Ai:

Who is this?

Namikaze Minato?

Namikaze Minato:

Yes, it's me.

We fought each other before.

Fourth Raikage Ai:

I remember. My speed was impressive and my punches were strong, but your speed was insane.

You always looked like you were deep in thought, and then you'd suddenly dodge everything with Flying Thunder God.

Senju Tobirama:

Oh? Fourth Generation, you've mastered my Flying Thunder God Technique quite well.

Fourth Raikage Ai:

Wasn't that technique developed by the Fourth Hokage?

Fourth Raikage Ai:

It worked perfectly with Rasengan.

Senju Tobirama:

That's my technique. Flying Thunder God was developed by me.

Tobirama's Record:

Enough chatter. I heard Uchiha Madara's name mentioned just now.

That's correct.

Fourth Raikage Ai:

I'm just here to complain. I heard that Senju Tobirama was brought back with Impure World Reincarnation.

And then… Uchiha Madara was brought back too.

Fourth Raikage Ai:

So I demolished the Raikage's office out of frustration.

I'm so pissed off.

Then I got captured, along with Killer Bee.

And they forced us to eat some strange tree.

Big Pillar Hanhan:

A tree?

Fourth Raikage Ai:

Yeah. It looked like a tree, but dry and dull, almost like wax.

And they fed it to us.

Fourth Raikage Ai:

Killer Bee was fed too.

The Eight Tails was forcibly extracted.

Fourth Raikage Ai:

I heard Uchiha Madara call that tree the Ten Tails.

Kurama:

What!

One Tail Shukaku:

Ten Tails!

Namikaze Minato:

Looks like the tailed beasts are on edge.

One Tail Shukaku:

Of course we are. Last time I got caught—

Wait, so this is…

Shukaku was just about to start rambling but suddenly remembered Kitahara Hitoshi and cut himself off.

Because the one who captured them using the Akatsuki was Kitahara Hitoshi, who manipulated Black Zetsu.

But now…

Uchiha Madara has returned?

And he has the Ten Tails with him?

This is extremely dangerous.

Because—

The tailed beasts were once devoured by Kaguya Otsutsuki. They were literally her food.

The Ten Tails is the origin—the source from which all tailed beasts were split.

The Sage of Six Paths divided its chakra to create the tailed beasts, then absorbed the Ten Tails' body and became its Jinchuriki.

But now it says… Ten Tails outcomes.

One Tail Shukaku: Could it be that Uchiha Madara also has the Rinnegan?

Senju Tobirama: Uchiha Madara… also has the Rinnegan?

Tobirama's Record: Is that so? As expected of my eldest brother.

Tobirama's Record: Based on what Jiraiya said before, it seems that the Rinnegan used by the one called Pain, who led Akatsuki, should also be connected to my eldest brother.

Senju Tobirama:

And it is very rare that Tobirama, who often clashed with Izuna, did not object this time.

Or…

He also believed that was the only path forward.

Because ever since the Sage of Six Paths, there has been no trace of the Rinnegan in history, and when it appeared again, it was in Kitahara Hitoshi's eyes.

But Kitahara Hitoshi only awakened it due to the Ninja Rabbit, the Little White Rabbit.

However…

Before that, Jiraiya encountered someone named Nagato who possessed the Rinnegan.

So…

How could Nagato have it? How could that be?

And looking at Kitahara Hitoshi's eye awakening process after being bitten by the Ninja Rabbit, it appears the Rinnegan comes after the Sharingan.

But there are not many Mangekyō Sharingan users, and he had never seen one evolve into the Rinnegan.

But Uchiha Madara is a different story.

The emergence of Uchiha Madara is an anomaly.

If not for his elder brother, Senju Hashirama, suppressing him, who knows what Madara would have become?

And...

Minato's description of the Nine Tails Rebellion also seems deeply connected to Uchiha Madara.

Therefore, Tobirama suspects that even though Madara died, he might have awakened the Rinnegan before his death.

The Rinnegan was then transferred to Nagato, whom Jiraiya believed to be the Child of Destiny.

Probably part of some conspiracy.

Only now… he has returned.

And then there's the Impure World Reincarnation…

Senju Tobirama: Wait a moment, Raikage, are you certain that Uchiha Madara was summoned through Impure World Reincarnation?

Fourth Raikage Ai: Although I am the Fourth Raikage, I still know what I'm talking about.

Fourth Raikage Ai: That was clearly the state of Impure World Reincarnation.

Fourth Raikage Ai: But Uchiha Madara's eyes are strange. They're not Sharingan. They're purple and ringed…

Hashirama: That's the Rinnegan.

Fourth Raikage Ai: So it's true then? He directly summoned that enormous tree.

Fourth Raikage Ai: Now I have no idea what's happening to my Cloud Shinobi Village.

Fourth Raikage Ai: Senju Tobirama, Impure World Reincarnation is your jutsu.

Fourth Raikage Ai: Uchiha Madara is from your Konoha. You owe me an explanation!

Fourth Raikage Ai: Don't push it too far!

Senju Tobirama:

Impure World Reincarnation was indeed developed by Tobirama, but he never used it to summon Uchiha Madara.

Yet at that moment…

Might Guy is online.

Dawn is like a peacock in the day like a tiger, and the evening is like a night out Guy dance!

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara away using the Eight Inner Gates: Fourth Raikage?

Fourth Raikage Ai: …You are?

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara away using the Eight Inner Gates: Might Guy! The Blue Beast of Konoha!

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara away using the Eight Inner Gates: Are you the current Raikage?

Fourth Raikage Ai:

Fourth Raikage Ai: What are you getting at?

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara away using the Eight Inner Gates: Nothing much. I just want to fight you.

Kakashi: Guy?

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara away when he opened the Eight Inner Gates: I couldn't say anything because of the Shinobi Village system. But just now, the system reminded me—the dead shadows have joined the group, right?

Kakashi: Yeah, that's right.

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara away using the Eight Inner Gates: That means he's gone.

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara away using the Eight Inner Gates: So it's fine to beat him up. It won't affect the Leaf.

Kakashi: What are you thinking, Guy? He's a Kage-level figure too.

Kakashi was shocked.

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara away using the Eight Inner Gates: I know he's Kage-level, but I can't stand seeing my disciple being wronged like that.

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara away using the Eight Inner Gates: When they signed the peace treaty with the Cloud Shinobi Village, those guys deliberately targeted the Hyuga Clan to kidnap someone. In the end, they denied it, and my disciple Neji's father had to take the fall.

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara away using the Eight Inner Gates: Neji was so young and lost his father.

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara away using the Eight Inner Gates: I can't accept such a thing.

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara away using the Eight Inner Gates: So as long as I get the chance to beat someone from the Cloud Shinobi Village, I'll fight.

Might Guy's soul is full of strength.

He explains why he wants to challenge Raikage.

It's to vent his anger for his disciple.

Namikaze Minato: Is this a tag team?

Namikaze Minato: If that's how it is, count me in too.

Hashirama: Huh?

Senju Tobirama: Huh?

Senju Tobirama: Weren't we talking about Uchiha Madara? How did this turn into a brawl?

Namikaze Minato: After my wife Kushina became a Jinchuriki, she was also kidnapped by the Cloud Shinobi Village.

Namikaze Minato: Though we rescued her in the end.

Namikaze Minato: But I still want to release my anger.

Senju Tobirama:

Senju Tobirama: I see.

Senju Tobirama: First of all, when Uchiha Madara helped establish Konoha, he later turned traitor.

Senju Tobirama: That means he's no longer of Konoha.

Senju Tobirama: And Raikage, you're the one trying to shift the blame now.

Senju Tobirama: Let me join too.

Fourth Raikage: What!

Raikage's body was massive, his lightning cloak flashing, but he was stunned.

Still, Minato and the others didn't beat him immediately just because he was shocked.

After a while.

Senju Tobirama: That felt good.

The man who kicked Uchiha Madara using the Eight Inner Gates: Neji's grievances are at least somewhat avenged.

Namikaze Minato: Whew… Thanks, Second Hokage.

Senju Tobirama: As a Konoha Hokage, who could stand by while the villagers are bullied? Right, brother?

Hashirama: Uh…

Fourth Raikage Ai: You people… we Cloud Shinobi Village… if my father were here…

Hashirama: What if he were?

Hashirama: You kidnapped a ninja from my village like it was nothing. Do you really think no one could stop you?

Hashirama: Always stealing from others, Cloud Shinobi Village…

Hashirama: I used to think changing the ninja world's balance would be ideal. But now, maybe it's better if some villages disappear altogether.

And clearly, the village he meant was Cloud Shinobi Village.

Fourth Raikage Ai: This…

Only then did Raikage realize the one he just mouthed off to wasn't an ordinary Hokage. It was the First Hokage, the one who dared to wage war against a ninja village, Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi.

He's the only one who could truly restrain Uchiha Madara.

This realization made the usually brash Raikage consider quitting the group, but then he thought… what if his father showed up too?

So there was no backing out.

All he could do was watch the system explanation unfold.

Kitahara Hitoshi opened the window and stared at the moon, which was gradually drawing closer to the ninja world.

The moonlight poured down in radiant brilliance. If it were night, it would be beautiful—but it was early morning.

And that was terrifying.

But Kitahara Hitoshi noticed that the little ninja rabbit's claws suddenly froze in place. Its body stiffened, but there was a faint trembling.

This reaction—was it sensing that the moon was approaching unnaturally? That something was wrong? Only beings from the Ōtsutsuki clan could do such a thing.

The Ōtsutsuki clan sees itself as lofty and superior.

They view all other beings as inferior, lesser creatures.

Yet ironically, their own way of life is closer to that of parasites.

They plant the Ten Tails on other worlds. After the Ten Tails takes root, it transforms into a tree and begins absorbing the planet's natural energy.

After thousands of years, the accumulation leads to a qualitative transformation, eventually forming Chakra Fruits.

The Ōtsutsuki clan attains overwhelming power through the consumption of these fruits.

In the original history, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, a member of this clan, participated in the planting of a sacred tree.

However, she grew weary of the cycle. After attacking her Ōtsutsuki companion, she chose to consume the fruit herself.

Such an act was a betrayal to the clan.

She was bound to be punished.

The harvest cycle of the divine tree spans a thousand years.

And Black Zetsu—this foolish child—hasn't managed to break the seal in all that time.

What could it possibly do now?

It's merely a weak and helpless little white rabbit.

"You should go to the Heaven's Imperial Palace and hide for a while," Kitahara Hitoshi said.

The little ninja didn't respond.

"You go to Heaven's Royal Realm and hide first."

"I'll investigate whether this is the work of the Ōtsutsuki clan." Kitahara Hitoshi gently stroked its soft, furry head.

At last, the little ninja reacted, like awakening from a daze.

It turned its small head, clasped Kitahara Hitoshi's fingers with its claws, and as if making a firm decision, its claws moved—tearing open a spatial rift in an instant.

The little white rabbit leapt in without hesitation.

The rift closed on its own.

Kitahara Hitoshi watched the ninja rabbit go without saying a word.

Because—

He had originally meant for it to hide within his heavenly palace.

But it had run into its own personal space.

In other words, was the current ninja recovering its true power?

So then—Black Zetsu heading to the moon to see whether Kaguya was still sealed there made no sense.

Because the real ninja rabbit—the true body—was already here.

Which meant the one sealed inside the moon was no longer Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

Kitahara Hitoshi quietly reflected on this.

But such things—he had no intention of informing Black Zetsu.

Children and Grandchildren Chat Group

Cowardly as a Mouse - Onoki: This… can a tailed beast even do that?

Cowardly as a Mouse - Onoki: It opened space and went inside.

One Tail - Shukaku: …

Shukaku remained silent, but he understood.

What kind of tailed beast was that? That was the Sage of Six Paths in disguise.

For now—it was just a ninja rabbit.

Big Zhuzi Hanhan: But Tobirama, pay attention.

Senju Tobirama: Huh?

Big Zhuzi Hanhan: Little Kitahara Hitoshi is walking toward the Hokage office.

Big Zhuzi Hanhan: He should be looking for you.

Big Zhuzi Hanhan: Share Madara's intel quickly.

Senju Tobirama: …

Senju Tobirama: Understood.

Senju Tobirama: I'll go meet him!

Tobirama moved quickly.

From the messages in the chat, it was clear that although Uchiha Madara had been brought back with Impure World Reincarnation, both the Ten Tails and the Eight Tails were under his control.

He also possessed the Rinnegan.

Shukaku had acted rather shamefully before, clearly shaken by the Rinnegan.

And since Tobirama was part of the chat, he also knew—Kitahara Hitoshi used the Rinnegan.

So—

He didn't believe he could handle Uchiha Madara on his own. He needed Kitahara Hitoshi.

The most he could do now was… provide intelligence.

However—

What Tobirama couldn't understand was that after he met Kitahara Hitoshi and reported everything about the Cloud Shinobi Village, the Raikage, and the Ten Tails—how both Raikage and Killer Bee had been fed to the Ten Tails—Kitahara Hitoshi's expression actually relaxed.

Then, after calmly saying that Uchiha Madara was brought back with Impure World Reincarnation…

Kitahara Hitoshi simply said:

"That's it."

And then he yawned.

"I'll go sleep now."

"I stayed up late last night, so I want to catch up on sleep."

"…"

Tobirama.

Tobirama was dumbfounded.

Why… wasn't he nervous at all?

Did he not understand that Uchiha Madara was Konoha's greatest traitor? The first—and second—betrayal of the village?

So calm… so unworried?

Of course—why would he be?

After seeing the dazed expression of the little white rabbit, Kitahara Hitoshi had already grown alert.

But Tobirama's report—Ten Tails, Uchiha Madara, the Eight Tails being pulled out, Raikage and Killer Bee being offered to the Ten Tails…

This sounded exactly like one of Black Zetsu's schemes.

So…

The purpose of activating Infinite Tsukuyomi again… might simply be because Black Zetsu couldn't ascend.

Kitahara Hitoshi sighed—speechless.

It was clearly such a simple thing.

So why did Black Zetsu always make it so convoluted?
