Uchiha Jin returned to the Ninja World with Rin Nohara, using the Flying Thunder God to teleport directly back to Konoha.
The others did not choose to return; instead, they entered the library inside the shrine and began to carefully read the collection of books and history of this branch of the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon.
Yes!
Unlike Uchiha Jin, they weren't transmigrators, so they were naturally very interested in the Ninja World's past. Before, they never had the opportunity, but now that they did, they certainly weren't going to let it pass.
And to this,
Uchiha Jin did not refuse!
In his view, letting these powerhouse figures of the Ninja World understand their history was a good thing. Only when they truly understood how powerful their future enemies would be would they dedicate themselves even more to increasing their strength.
He believed that once this group returned to the Ninja World, he wouldn't even need to waste his breath trying to convince them; these top-tier workhorses would start driving themselves to the absolute limit.
"Hiss, how terrifying!"
"It seems Hokage-sama did not lie to us. The Six Paths Sage is named Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and the moon is the private domain of his younger brother Hamura's lineage."
"The two of them used Sealing Jutsu to seal their own mother inside the moon."
"The moon itself is actually a Sealing Jutsu? It's truly hard to imagine how powerful the brothers Hagoromo and Hamura were back then!"
"Although the two of them were strong, the sealed Kaguya was even stronger!"
"According to the records, the sealed Kaguya is not dead yet. The Ōtsutsuki Clan possesses incredibly long lifespans. What an enviable and jealous-inducing clan!"
"And this is just one Ōtsutsuki. Looking at this passage in the records, the main branch of the Ōtsutsuki in the distant starry sky will sooner or later discover that something went wrong in the Ninja World, and they will definitely dispatch other Ōtsutsuki here when the time comes."
"Every Ōtsutsuki dispatched will likely be an enemy on Kaguya's level. How on earth are we supposed to carefully deal with that when the time comes?"
"I don't know, there's nothing we can do but trust in Hokage-sama."
"Let's just train hard!"
"..."
The people present spoke up one after another.
After reading these books on the moon, everyone's expressions turned incredibly grim, their hearts feeling as though weighed down by a massive boulder, and bitter smiles appeared on their faces.
There was nothing they could do!
The enemies the Ninja World would face in the future were simply too strong. Even though they had already become the strongest group in the Ninja World, none of them had any confidence in dealing with a group of Ōtsutsuki Clan members who were even stronger than the Six Paths Sage.
Inside the entire library, everyone was quietly reading, except for Senju Hashirama.
Senju Hashirama didn't give a damn!
Although they would face such powerful enemies in the future, he had plenty of confidence in himself. As long as he was resurrected in the future, even without the so-called Ashura Chakra, he was confident he could continue training to an even stronger level.
Yes!
Back when Konoha was first established, it wasn't that his strength couldn't grow, but rather that there were no opponents left for him in the Ninja World, so he simply couldn't be bothered to increase his strength.
At that time, he only wanted to enjoy peace and spend his days with his family.
Training?
Even a dog wouldn't do it!
He was essentially an easygoing person who went with the flow. He had trained before because there were enemies; without enemies, he naturally had no desire to train.
But now?
Since there would be powerful enemies in the future, then he would just continue training!
On the other side,
Unlike Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara was reading extremely seriously.
However, the more he read, the uglier his expression became!
Indeed.
He had finally figured out Black Zetsu's purpose.
Damn it!
The technique used to seal Kaguya was none other than the Rinnegan's Dōjutsu—Chibaku Tensei!
It was just that the Six Paths Sage and his younger brother Hamura were stronger, so they joined forces to perform the Divine Chibaku Tensei, but in essence, he could use this Dōjutsu himself.
Therefore,
Uchiha Madara, who was capable of performing Chibaku Tensei, naturally understood the basic theory behind the technique.
He also knew that the Infinite Tsukuyomi would not only plunge everyone in the Ninja World into a dream, but he now realized that it would definitely awaken the Ten-Tails' God Tree completely, allowing it to take root once again across the entire Ninja World.
And once the God Tree took root, a loophole would appear in the Divine Chibaku Tensei, and Kaguya would be released.
Heh!
Was there even any need to state Black Zetsu's goal?
"Using me?"
"With the goal of releasing Kaguya?"
"Black Zetsu!!!"
Uchiha Madara was so enraged he felt like going mad, his expression shifting violently.
He was absolutely furious!
All his life, he had considered himself the mastermind behind the scenes. He had fooled the entire Ninja World, and even Hashirama, which naturally made him feel immensely proud.
But now?
He suddenly discovered that he, the mastermind, was merely a pawn used by Black Zetsu to save his mother, and the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi was essentially just a facade.
This was absolutely intolerable!
Just as Uchiha Madara was fuming with anger, Senju Hashirama keenly noticed something was wrong. He immediately walked over and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Madara, don't be angry!"
"More and stronger enemies will appear in the future. The two of us certainly won't feel bored anymore."
"Let's be resurrected together, train together, and face the enemies together!"
"Being able to fight alongside you again... just thinking about it makes me really happy!"
And to this,
Looking at Senju Hashirama in front of him, Uchiha Madara's face was full of disdain.
However...
When he thought about the scene of training and fighting side-by-side with Senju Hashirama again in the future, a faint smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.
Hmm?!
He had to admit, he was actually looking forward to it a little now.
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Hashirama, I have a plan!"
"Huh? What plan?" Senju Hashirama was a bit dazed.
Uchiha Madara immediately said, "I'm going to take back the Rinnegan, and then use genjutsu to control Black Zetsu. I will use him to perform the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu."
"Although I didn't know Black Zetsu's identity and purpose before, I understand his body very well."
"By using Black Zetsu to perform the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu, his body should at least be enough to resurrect both you and me."
"Let's go!"
"Let's head back to Konoha right now. First, we'll ask Nagato to return the Rinnegan, and then we'll find that brat Uchiha Jin and have him send us to that special space."
"This damn Edo Tensei body is simply too frustrating to deal with every day."
"Right now, I can't wait to be resurrected!"
After saying that,
he couldn't wait to take Senju Hashirama and head straight back to Konoha to discuss this with Uchiha Jin, not wanting to stay on the moon for even another second.
And to this,
Hearing Uchiha Madara's words, Senju Hashirama appeared quite hesitant.
"Well then—Madara!"
"When you go to find Nagato later, I suggest you speak to him nicely. After all, everyone is a companion in the same Village now."
"And also..."
"Can we only resurrect the two of us?"
"Can we add Tobirama as well?"
