Chapter 489 - Stalling For Madara

"Hey, what are you saying?"

Naruto couldn't hold back when he heard this, and Sasuke also looked at Black Zetsu with displeasure.

Madara spoke while reattaching his eyes, "The meaning of the words is clear. I will become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and gain enough power to face this guy."

As he spoke, his Rinnegan was already re-seated, and a chilling aura resonated from him. He looked up at the indifferent figure in the sky, a surge of unvented anger in his heart.

"So arrogant to this extent? It's truly nauseating. But you didn't hear wrong, only if I become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki will it be the best chance to deal with this guy."

"Deal with?"

Sasuke was a little displeased, and at this moment, two streams of Chakra intertwined beside them.

Tobirama and Minato also arrived. They had heard Madara's words, which made Tobirama even more dissatisfied.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why you, and not my older brother?!"

"Because he has the Rinnegan."

Hashirama, however, understood clearly.

He shook his head helplessly and said, "The Rinnegan seems to be a symbol of the Creation of All Things. I'm afraid only he can control the Ten-Tails."

"Exactly. Besides, becoming a Jinchuriki requires a special hand seal, and only I know it."

Madara nodded, continuing in a deep voice, "Ten-Tails is very important, and Takeshiki appeared because of the Ten-Tails, which is enough to show the seriousness of the problem."

"Hmph, it does seem important."

Sasuke looked at the figure in the sky and finally nodded.

"But if that's the case, Takeshiki won't just let you be."

"Indeed, so I hope you can hold him back for a little while."

Madara knew this was not simple. He lowered his voice.

"He might not care if we do other things, but he will probably move for the Ten-Tails, and I will also attract his attention."

"At that time, it will be up to you to hold him back and give me a chance to seal the Ten-Tails inside my body."

"Only then will I have a chance to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, gain the power of the Sage of Six Paths, and truly deal with him."

"Although I also extremely detest and at the same time greatly admire the actions of the Sage of Six Paths, for now, we can only rely on all of this."

Madara's words silenced everyone, but they also had to admit it. Takeshiki was truly not someone to be dealt with casually. Perhaps they needed stronger power.

"Then let's give it a try."

Sasuke pondered for a moment, then spoke coldly. He actually didn't trust Madara much at all. But facing such a powerful enemy, especially having to buy time for Takemi, he was willing to try.

"I also think it's worth a try. Anyway, there's no better option."

Naruto, seeing Sasuke speak like this, subconsciously chimed in, but he felt Kurama roaring within him. This made him a little awkward. Kurama seemed to have an unusual dislike and hatred for Madara. Of course, he also hated the First Hokage, Hashirama.

"Sigh, then so be it."

Tobirama wanted to object, but looking at the current situation, there seemed to be no better way, so he could only nod helplessly.

"Let's move."

Minato spoke softly. Now was not the time to be hesitant.

"Are you done discussing?"

In the sky, Takeshiki also spoke at the opportune moment.

But as he spoke, his gaze was fixed on the space ahead, the Sage of Six Paths was right in there. Not just him, his younger brother was also there.

And the Sage of Six Paths also seemed to notice Takemi's gaze, but he and his younger brother still didn't move.

"What's going on, why aren't these two moving yet?"

Takemi couldn't help but murmur, but Kaguya's Chakra within him couldn't help but speak.

"Stop playing, that's enough. These two seem to be the former reincarnations of Indra and Asura, and now two more have arrived. You should speed up."

"I'm helping them. The Sage of Six Paths let them reincarnate, and he might have left something behind."

Takemi still chose to speak kindly of the Sage of Six Paths. This old man carried too many burdens.

"Left something?"

But when these words reached Kaguya's ears, the situation changed.

"That Hagoromo fellow, he wouldn't have left something to deal with me, would he?!"

"..."

For the first time, Takemi marveled at a woman's intuition.

He stroked his chin and said, "I don't know, but it's probably to deal with the Ōtsutsuki?"

"Then isn't that against me?"

"Do you want to confront him directly?"

"What are you going to do?"

What to do?

That's simple.

Takemi looked down and continued with a smile, "Since you're done discussing, let's continue. On the other side, my three senpais are about to emerge. If you don't speed up, I'm afraid you won't have a chance."

As he spoke, he was already prepared to continue his attack.

Since Kaguya had even asked, there was only one simplest method.

"I remember Sasuke and Naruto met you at the brink of death, so wouldn't it be fine to beat them half to death?"

As he thought, he glanced at the Sage of Six Paths hidden in the alternate dimension, then his figure flashed and he was already heading towards Sasuke and the others.

"Move!"

Madara didn't hesitate at all. He headed straight for the Ten-Tails.

"Yosh!"

Naruto lightly clenched his fist, and the next moment, a golden Nine-Tails shot out from within him. Regardless of the reason, the moment he fist-bumped with Nine-Tails, he was already a perfect Jinchuriki. At this moment, he could fully display all the power of Nine-Tails.

"Kurama, let's go!"

"Tch."

Sasuke activated his Susanoo at this moment. He followed Naruto and launched an attack together.

"We shouldn't just watch, let's act too." Hashirama immediately said.

Tobirama sighed, "Big brother, our plan has been disrupted by you again. Originally, we just needed to hold back Takeshiki to create an opportunity for Takemi, but now Madara..."

"Him becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki should have the same effect, right?"

Hashirama, however, smiled. His Wood Release instantly surged out, rushing towards Takeshiki in the sky.

"Forget it, let's go too."

Tobirama sighed helplessly at the sight, but he quickly adjusted. Anyway, he was already an Edo Tensei, so he didn't care that much anymore.

"Child's play."

Takeshiki calmly looked at the four people. He smiled indifferently.

"Stop pretending!"

Naruto charged the fastest. He had already arrived in front of Takeshiki, and the Nine-Tails on his body roared, throwing a heavy punch.

"Even if you are a god, so what!"

At the same time, Sasuke's attack also arrived silently at this moment. The purple Susanoo erupted with enormous power, roaring towards Takeshiki.

Concurrently, a wood dragon emerged from behind him, roaring and attacking him.

"We cannot let a guy like you rampage in this world!"

Tobirama and Minato also lunged at him at this moment.

"You still haven't figured some things out, have you?"

However, Takeshiki merely shook his head gently, his calm voice sending shivers down their spines.

"The outcome of this battle will not be as you wish. Your defeat is destined."

Boom!

Extreme power instantly bloomed in this hell-like wasteland, and a golden light sword once again shone in the sky.

Takeshiki seemed to float quietly in the sky, but the golden sword in his hand seemed capable of covering any corner.

Buzz—

The golden sword slashed through Naruto's Nine-Tails body, immediately causing Nine-Tails to roar in pain uncontrollably. Its Chakra-condensed fist was directly severed by a single sword, and at the same time, another golden sword swept towards its body.

"Damn it."

Naruto watched helplessly as Nine-Tails was cut in half at this moment, and the furious golden sword continued to spread towards him.

At this moment, Sasuke's attack arrived silently, but Sasuke's expression changed.

"Damn it, such an attack can be distorted?"

On the long sword of his Susanoo, a distortion similar to Kamui had appeared at some point.

His attack missed, heading towards Tobirama and Minato. Not only that, the golden glow shone once again, and Sasuke didn't even see where the golden light came from. His Susanoo was already shattered, and he himself felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow.

"Naruto!"

"Damn it."

Tobirama and Minato barely managed to avoid the long sword of the Susanoo, and the next moment they saw Naruto and Sasuke falling from the sky. Their faces immediately turned incredibly grim. In an instant, they were about to catch the two, but the entire space seemed to become Takeshiki's domain. His attacks were omnipresent, giving no one any chance to react.

When the golden glow shone once again, Tobirama and Minato were already cut in half.

"Damn it."

Seeing this, Hashirama immediately roared and rushed towards Takemi. His eyes held only astonishment and disbelief, as if he had never expected the battle to suddenly turn out this way.

He also possessed a spirit of facing death with equanimity, he could not let this guy continue all of this.
