Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 325 Let's go kill Yi Shi first as a pledge of loyalty (10K)

One more punch!
In the supergravity space, Sakura has once again gathered her power to break through the space and find Sasuke.

Shattering space with a single punch to connect two worlds seems like an almost impossible feat, but Sakura is able to accomplish it at this moment.

What appears to be an ordinary punch carries unimaginable terrifying power.

In the original work, Might Guy, who opened the final gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Death, created a space distortion with a single kick when fighting Six Paths Madara. Now, Sakura is even better.

As a violent force poured out from the fist, another scene resembling shattering glass unfolded.

Where the fist strikes, all things bow down!

This punch did not disappoint Sakura. Through the shattered space, Sakura saw the endless yellow sand and a solitary figure on the other side.

It's Sasuke!
"This way!"

Sakura called out to Sasuke through the broken spatial passage.

The moment the space shattered, Sasuke noticed the girl opposite him. Without even thinking, Sasuke rushed towards Sakura at top speed.

However, as soon as he approached the passage of that broken space, he felt an inexplicable weight pressing down on him.

Sakura immediately understood Sasuke's predicament upon seeing this scene.

He was currently in the super-gravity space of Amenominaka, where he could ignore the gravity, but Sasuke could not.

Even Kaguya Otsutsuki's entry into this space that belongs to her is suppressed.

Without further ado, Sakura dashed into the desert world where Sasuke was.

As Sakura leaves, the shattered spatial passage is slowly healing.

"Sakura, was that also part of Kaguya Otsutsuki's dimension just now?"

Sasuke was already used to Sakura being able to ignore that inexplicable gravitational pressure.

After all, the girl next to him was incredibly strong.

There's probably no one in the ninja world stronger than her.

"Yes, that's one of Kaguya's spaces."

"It doesn't matter, let's go find Naruto now."

"Stand behind me."

Sakura nodded slightly, clearly not intending to waste any more words, and then began to gather her strength once again.

……

Meanwhile, in the icy world, Kaguya Otsutsuki was hit by Naruto's Reverse Harem Jutsu, and even with her usually indifferent nature, she was somewhat annoyed.

After all, since she arrived on this planet, who has dared to flirt with her?
Facing the now enraged Goddess of the Rabbit, Naruto was already finding it difficult to withstand the onslaught.

After all, his so-called reverse harem technique was just to buy himself an opportunity and wait for the enemy to recover. Then he would have to face Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had been successfully mocked.

Faced with Kaguya Otsutsuki's wave after wave of Eighty Gods Vacuum Attacks, Naruto nimbly and swiftly fled.

At this moment, Kaguya no longer wanted to play with this blond-haired kid.

Her pure white eyes narrowed slightly, and at that moment, she and Naruto vanished from their spot.

Heaven's Royal Center!

Once again, Amaterasu used it, and Naruto and Kaguya suddenly appeared in a world full of red rocks.

This is the core area of ​​Ten no Michū, the Origin World.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was able to absorb the chakra of those bound by the Infinite Tsukuyomi here to replenish herself, thus enabling her to engage in almost endless battles.

Where have they run off to this time...?

Naruto looked around, panting slightly.

Although his strength has increased dramatically due to the power of Yang, if he faces someone like Kaguya Otsutsuki alone without any help, defeat is only a matter of time.

Let's solve one of them here first.

Huangquan Hirazaka.

Kaguya Otsutsuki murmured to herself, looking down at Naruto. Suddenly, a black portal opened beside her, and Naruto felt a chill run down his spine.

That was the technique that stopped Sakura from cutting down the Divine Tree.

What does she want to do...?

When Kaguya used this move to block Sakura's attack, Naruto's focus was entirely on Kaguya Otsutsuki, and he didn't pay much attention to this strange black portal.

At that moment, the other end of Yomotsu Hirasaka silently opened behind Naruto.

Kaguya Otsutsuki reached her hand into the black portal. Naruto seemed to sense something and instinctively dodged to the side, but at that moment, a sense of crisis instantly struck him!
Countless white needles, resembling thousands of needles, surged towards Naruto from all directions!
Right now, there's the Rabbit Hair Needle in front and the Yellow Springs Hirasaka behind!
Naruto flew into the sky without hesitation, only to find that Kaguya Otsutsuki had already stretched out her other hand towards him!

Yagogami air attack!
Faced with such an attack, even Naruto's strongest Boil Release: Super Strength was unable to withstand it, and he was almost directly hit by that terrifying power!

The golden figure was sent flying backwards in an instant, while Kaguya Otsutsuki grabbed Naruto by the back of his collar and pulled him inside the Yomotsu Hirasaka that had been opened!

The next second, Naruto was directly restrained in Kaguya Otsutsuki's hand.

Looking at the closed black portal, Naruto immediately realized that the black portal was connected to something else.

Kaguya had previously used this move to deflect Sakura's attack that had severed the Divine Tree.

"Caught."

The white-haired, aloof goddess looked calmly at the boy restrained in her hands and spoke.

"Uh, hehe, hello there..."

Naruto seemed to notice the anger in the other person's eyes, and couldn't help but speak awkwardly.

"The reincarnation of Asura".

"You're mine."

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't intend to waste words with Naruto, or rather, she wasn't the talkative type by nature.

A gray bone emerged from the palm of her other hand.

Let’s kill the Ashes together!

"Um, could we... perhaps discuss this?"

Naruto stared at the bone in Kaguya's hand, his face turning green.

His shadow clone had already experienced this bone on his behalf.

It is impossible to defend against; one who touches it will die instantly.

Now that I'm being suppressed by the other side, what way can I break through the current crisis?

Without hesitation, Kaguya stabbed the bone in her hand at Naruto!

Just as that bone was about to strike Naruto's chest head-on, a sudden change occurred!

The sky seemed to shatter like glass, with countless grains of yellow sand falling from the heavens!

Two more figures were rushing towards Kaguya Otsutsuki and Naruto below!
Sasuke, wielding the black Yin power Chidori, charged towards Kaguya Otsutsuki almost without thinking!
Kaguya, however, continued to use the All-Killing Ash Bones technique on Naruto, regardless of the consequences!

If one of the Yang forces can be dealt with, then the remaining Yin forces will naturally be unable to seal her.

At that moment, Sakura, who had also arrived, narrowed her eyes slightly.

Suddenly, a colorful axe made entirely of chakra appeared in Sakura's hand!
At this moment, Sakura and Sasuke are still some distance away from Kaguya, and they cannot stop Kaguya's actions with their own speed.

Then...

Immortal Technique: Yin-Yang Escape: Mountain Splitting!
The seven chakra elements of Yin, Yang, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, and Earth suddenly coalesced!

At this moment, a giant axe that seemed capable of cleaving the heavens and earth appeared out of thin air between heaven and earth!
"Sakura!"

When Naruto saw the reinforcements arrive, he shouted for help.

"cut!"

Her emerald eyes were sharp, and her unparalleled, violent chakra transformed into a divine axe that seemed capable of severing the pillars of heaven and earth!
The divine axe fell as if the sky were collapsing!
Kaguya Otsutsuki looked up at the divine axe that blotted out the sky, and for the first time, a look of terror appeared in her eyes.

If she were struck head-on, she would die.

As the goddess of the earth, she immediately sensed the immense power contained within the divine axe.

This was the second time that Kaguya Otsutsuki had felt fear.

The first time was when she faced her superior, Isshiki Otsutsuki, whom she had ambushed. Now, that same fear of her own safety has resurfaced in her heart once again.

Even when facing her two sons, Kaguya Otsutsuki had never felt such fear.

Because she knew that her sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, would not kill her.

Faced with that divine axe that seemed to topple the sky, Kaguya Otsutsuki wanted to dodge, and almost instinctively wanted to escape with Naruto from Yomotsu Hirasaka.

However, Kaguya Otsutsuki discovered that at some point, that damned blond brat had taken the initiative, grabbing her arm and holding her tightly, preventing her from leaving!
Kaguya Otsutsuki couldn't help but glare angrily at this reincarnation of her grandson.

That brat, does he really want to die with his grandma?
However, at this moment, the divine axe fell, and the axe that was about to strike suddenly stopped, landing in front of Kaguya Otsutsuki's forehead!
Kaguya's eyes trembled slightly as she gazed at the axe blade so close to her.

Stop, it's stopped...

Kaguya had prepared for the worst.

If she were to die from this axe blow, she would have no choice but to possess the body of Naruto, who was closest to her, through a contract.

However, a thousand years have passed since she arrived in the ninja world. Based on the estimated time, the Otsutsuki clan will arrive in the ninja world within twenty years.

If she were to truly possess this blond-haired boy's body, she would not only need to fight him for control of the body, but also seize the time to recover her strength. Moreover, she would also need to establish the White Zetsu army.

These short twenty years are simply not enough time.

Moreover, this blond-haired kid is no weakling; it would take him decades to take over his body.

"I made a promise with Yu Yi."

"I won't kill you, just let Naruto go."

At this moment, Sakura, holding a small axe, calmly looked down at Kaguya Otsutsuki and spoke.

"Feathered Robe..."

Upon hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar name, Kaguya's expression became uncertain.

She felt both disappointed and relieved about Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

To her disappointment, the other party actually opposed her, the mother, for the sake of the ants in this nursery, and even sealed her away for a thousand years.

Thankfully, Yu Yi was indeed his son.

"What if I refuse to let you go?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at Naruto, who was still clinging tightly to her arm.

"I've already given you a chance."

“Even if I kill you now, the old man of the Six Paths can’t say anything more.”

In just a moment, Sakura, who was standing high in the air just moments before, was now standing in front of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"you!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki felt a chill run down her spine and raised her hand to unleash an Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack towards Sakura!

At the same moment, Sakura also raised her palm and used a powerful attack to directly clash with Kaguya Otsutsuki, their fists meeting palms!
An invisible wave of energy surged from his two hands. The energy wave formed by the collision of the Eighty Divine Void Strike and the Mountain Lord transformed into an extremely violent hurricane that raged across the primordial space!

The surrounding rocky mountains were completely destroyed by the aftershocks of their collision!

Sasuke, who was in mid-air, lost his balance and had to descend to the ground to regain his footing, while Naruto, who was clinging tightly to Kaguya Otsutsuki's arm, was forced to bare his teeth by the hurricane.

Under this attack, Kaguya Otsutsuki was forced to retreat more than ten steps in mid-air, staring in disbelief at the calm-faced pink-haired man in front of her.

"who are you?"

"Even within the Ōtsutsuki clan, there are only a handful of people with this level of strength..."

Hearing Kaguya's words, Sakura's expression turned serious, and a ripple of emotion stirred within her.

Having already reached such a state, is there anyone in the so-called Otsutsuki clan, apart from the ethereal Otsutsuki Shibakai, who can compare to me?

Sakura has always had a clear understanding of herself and the Otsutsuki clan.

Before entering the Six Paths, Sakura's combat strength alone had already surpassed that of the so-called Otsutsuki Kinji.

Even Otsutsuki Isshiki, or Otsutsuki Momoshiki who ate Kinshiki, could be touched.

As for Otsutsuki Urashiki...

Let's not even mention that good-for-nothing.

Sakura is never complacent, but she also never underestimates herself.

Even now, having entered the Six Paths of Paths, Kaguya Otsutsuki still believes that there are Otsutsuki stronger than herself.

"Is it Otsutsuki Isshiki?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki narrowed her emerald eyes slightly, the golden flames within them making it difficult for her to look directly at them.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Kaguya's expression finally changed as she looked at Sakura in front of her.

If the previous reaction was fear of Sakura's strength, then the current reaction is shock at how much Sakura knows.

"Sakura is Sakura, why are you making such a fuss?"

Naruto, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but chime in.

Kaguya frowned slightly as she looked at Naruto, who was clinging to her arm and refusing to let go, but she didn't pay much attention to the blond-haired kid.

At this moment, the other party is her bargaining chip, so she'll tolerate it for now.

"We have a common enemy."

"You were unwilling to be devoured by Yishi, so you betrayed your superior."

"But I don't want to see my world ravaged by the Otsutsuki."

"Therefore, we have a basis for cooperation."

Looking at the goddess of the rabbit before her, Sakura's thoughts stirred slightly, and then she spoke.

"Cooperation……"

"This world is my seed..."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was still thinking of asserting her sovereignty over the ninja world, but Sakura interrupted her:

That was a thousand years ago.

"Now, she's mine."

"If you want it, you can take it from me."

"But I personally advise you not to do that."

Hearing the words of the pink-haired girl in front of her, Kaguya Otsutsuki fell silent for a moment.

"You still haven't told me who you really are."

"I?"

"I am just one of the billions of beings in the ninja world."

Kaguya didn't believe a word Sakura said.

She knew this world all too well.

You know too much about it.

A thousand years ago, the most powerful beings in this world were the demons.

As for the so-called demons, they probably wouldn't be able to escape even a single move from this pink-haired guy.

Even Naruto and Sasuke, who used to be able to fight her to a standstill, are now her grandsons.

The reincarnation of Indra and Asura.

Both Indra and Ashura have bloodlines belonging to the Otsutsuki clan.

Ultimately, the battle between Kaguya and Naruto and Sasuke was nothing more than an internal conflict within the Otsutsuki clan.

but……

Kaguya looked at the person in front of her...

No.

There wasn't a trace of the Otsutsuki bloodline.

Just like the ordinary people she encountered in the ninja world a thousand years ago.

Ordinary, vulgar, like an ant.

But can an ant transform into a real dragon?

It's just a joke.

"I'll help you resolve one aspect, and then you and I will face the future arrival of the Otsutsuki together, how about that?"

"This is already my most sincere invitation."

Sakura extends her palm towards Kaguya.

How can I trust you?

Kaguya Otsutsuki hesitated as she looked at the hand in front of her.

Sakura looked at the goddess in front of her and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This guy is so easy to fool.

Although she had no intention of deceiving Kaguya, Sakura was somewhat surprised that Kaguya trusted her so much.

After all, the other party is at least an existence that has lived for thousands of years.

Their minds are so simple.

Sakura originally wanted to have a battle with her opponent that would determine who was better and who would die, but unexpectedly things turned out this way.

Assessing the situation is also an art.

No, it should be said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

“We can have the old man of the Six Paths as a witness.”

"How about we go and kill Otsutsuki Isshiki as a pledge of loyalty?"

Sakura spoke slowly.

Otsutsuki Isshiki is in the ninja world. No matter how well he hides, he can be found by Jigen's name and appearance.

With Konoha's intelligence system, no matter how well this guy hides, they can find him within three years by digging three feet into the ground.

"One style..."

Kaguya Otsutsuki was somewhat dazed.

She betrayed him because she didn't want to be a sacrifice.

I never expected things to turn out like this...

However, if the four of them—himself, the guy in front of me, and those two kids—joined forces with Yu Yi, the chances of taking down Ikki would be extremely high.

No, it should be 100%.

After all, only the Otsutsuki truly understand the Otsutsuki.

When Kaguya backstabbed Isshiki, she almost cut Isshiki in half at the waist, and used the Ten-Tails to devour Isshiki's lower body.

With such an injury, and without a suitable replacement, recovery can only be achieved at an extremely slow pace.

Even after a thousand years, Kaguya Otsutsuki is certain that Isshiki has not fully recovered to this day.

"……it is good."

"But just in case, I need to inscribe a contract on this kid."

Kaguya looked at Naruto, who was still clinging to her.

"Eh?"

Naruto was stunned. Although he didn't quite understand, it seemed that Kaguya had mistaken him for a means to control Sakura.

"This……"

Sakura was a little stunned.

Should I say that he truly lives up to his role as the protagonist?
Why is Naruto involved in everything?

"can."

Sakura pondered for a moment.

The so-called "contract" can be simply understood as an enhanced version of Orochimaru's cursed seal.

After being marked with a contract, one can use a portion of the power of the Otsutsuki that was marked with the contract.

The longer the time, the more refined the capabilities become.

Ultimately, when the person who has been bound by the contract can fully utilize the power of that Otsutsuki, the person who has been bound by the contract is no longer themselves, but that Otsutsuki.

This is also the secret behind the near-immortality of the Otsutsuki clan.

However, Kaguya did not die, so she did not need to be reincarnated in Naruto's body.

The other party made this choice with their own safety in mind.

If Sakura betrays him and they are killed together, Kaguya Otsutsuki can be reincarnated in Naruto's body.

"Okay, but after Isshiki dies, you must remove the seal from Naruto."

"And if the completion rate of the contract exceeds the second stage during this period, I will not hesitate to kill you."

Sakura frowned and spoke.

If it were only the first stage of the contract, Sakura could have entered Naruto's body and killed Kaguya Otsutsuki inside Naruto using the same method she used to suppress the inner Sakura.

Once Naruto enters the second stage, it means that his body has begun to assimilate with Kaguya.

At that time, it was like a maggot clinging to the bone, difficult to remove.

If it enters the final third stage, then it's almost completely hopeless.

"……it is good."

Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned slightly but ultimately agreed.

She hadn't expected that this pink-haired girl would know so much about the function of the contract.

When the other party mentioned the second stage, Kaguya knew that this guy knew everything about the Otsutsuki clan.

"Asura, reach out your hand."

Kaguya looked at Naruto.

"..."

Naruto felt like he'd been betrayed by Sakura.

"Give me your hand, Naruto," Sakura said.

Naruto reluctantly extended his hand upon hearing this.

At that moment, Kaguya reached out and placed her palm on Naruto's palm.

At this moment, Naruto, who possessed the power of Yang, had a physical strength almost indistinguishable from that of the Otsutsuki clan, so the contract was easily applied.

At that moment, as Kaguya released her hand, a black diamond-shaped mark appeared on Naruto's palm.

That was Kaguya's contract.

Although there was a risk of being replaced by Kaguya, from this moment on, Naruto was able to use a portion of Kaguya Otsutsuki's power.

However, it's probably impossible to use the three bug-level abilities: Amenominaka, All-Kill Ash Bones, and Expanding Truth-Seeking Balls.

You could try using the Eighty Gods Air Strike.

"Naruto, give me your hand."

Sakura looked at Naruto.

Naruto looked at the contract in his palm. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, he believed that Sakura would not harm him.

If Naruto could win over such a goddess to his side, he would endure even the potential danger to himself.

And most importantly, this was Sakura's choice.

Looking at Naruto's outstretched hand, Sakura reached out and placed her hand on Naruto's palm, just like Kaguya did.

When Sakura let go, the diamond-shaped seal in Naruto's palm turned pink.

At the same time, Sakura pressed down on Naruto's wrist.

A cherry blossom pattern appeared on Naruto's wrist.

The mark on her wrist is Sakura's Flying Thunder God Technique, so that Sakura can instantly reach Naruto's side anytime, anywhere.

What's in Naruto's palm is a portion of the chakra that Sakura left on him.

This is so that the progress of the fusion between Naruto and the seal in Naruto's palm can be monitored at any time.

If Kaguya makes any unusual move, Sakura's chakra will temporarily suppress the contract, buying time for Sakura's true form to arrive.

"Sakura's chakra."

Naruto gazed thoughtfully at the pink in his palm, then his eyes lit up and he pointed to the pink spot towards Sakura, saying:

"Can I chat with Sakura when I'm bored?"

Chakra is a manifestation of consciousness, just like the chakra left in Naruto's body by Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Although it is a part of their own chakra, it has independent consciousness.

In a sense, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for Naruto to regard the wisp of chakra left behind by Sakura as a clone of Sakura.

"If you're not afraid of being criticized, we can talk."

Sakura waved her hand, not wanting to discuss the topic any further.

Then Sakura looked at Kaguya and said:

"Is this acceptable?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki took a deep look at the cherry blossom color in Naruto's palm, and nodded slightly:
"can."

As soon as Kaguya finished speaking, the scenery changed instantly. Kaguya, along with Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke, all left the Origin Sphere and reappeared in the Ninja World.
"Sakura!"

Kakashi was about to step forward, but when he saw Kaguya Otsutsuki next to Sakura, he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

Not only Kakashi, but also Tobirama Senju, Minato Namikaze, Itachi Uchiha, and others were all on high alert.

Even Hashirama Senju looked at Kaguya with a solemn expression.

"fine."

"This person is already a comrade."

Sakura reached out her hand to Kaguya.

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at the hand before her, hesitated slightly, then grasped Sakura's hand, her expression as cold as before, and said:

"To be precise, they are collaborators."

Sakura gave an awkward smile without revealing her embarrassment.

This Rabbit Goddess has rather low emotional intelligence~~~
"cooperate?"

Senju Tobirama frowned slightly upon seeing this.

He looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki with a sense of disbelief.

"It's a long story."

"I'll explain later. Kaguya, you go and decipher the Infinite Moon Reading first."

Sakura gazed at the divine tree in the distance, initially thinking of cutting it down.

I didn't expect that life would be so unpredictable.

Kaguya gazed at the divine tree that connected heaven and earth in the distance. She had only taken two steps when she stopped. Her cool brows furrowed slightly. She flicked her sleeve, and eight soccer ball-sized objects flew out, along with a figure.

Kaguya Otsutsuki glanced at the thing that had been thrown out, then walked toward the Divine Tree without any hesitation.

"Is it Madara Uchiha, and the eight tailed beasts?"

Minato Namikaze was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.

Madara Uchiha had lost his Six Paths powers and lay unconscious on the ground, shirtless.

no problem.

But are those eight things that look like pets actually tailed beasts?

It's no wonder Minato Namikaze found it strange; these eight little ones looked like they had just been born, each one adorable and completely unlike the ferocious creatures Minato had in mind.

Especially the Seven-Tailed Fox, which at this moment is actually a caterpillar.

But why eight?

Where did the Three-Tailed Fox go?

Sakura looked at the group of little tailed beasts in front of her, seemingly lost in thought.

Because Kaguya drained all his chakra, leaving only his consciousness.

Kaguya obviously couldn't tolerate the existence of other consciousnesses within her, so she simply threw them away.

As for why there is no three-tailed fox.

That's because Sanwei is still in the fish tank in his office.

I wonder if anyone has changed the water for the Three-Tails since the Infinite Tsukuyomi has been cast over the ninja world.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki silently watched all of this.

Ever since Kaguya was unsealed, he felt ashamed to face his mother and subconsciously hid away.

did not expect……

As the Infinite Tsukuyomi was broken, Sakura watched as the Divine Tree slowly released the countless Konoha ninjas and Allied Shinobi Forces ninjas, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Now that the allied forces have been defeated, Konoha, including themselves, Naruto, Sasuke, and an unofficial Kaguya, has a total of four Six Paths level members.

The future of the ninja world is already visible.

Suddenly, a golden light shone through the sea from the distant horizon.

Sakura looked at the rising sun over the sea and murmured unconsciously:

"Old man, do I now count as having met your expectations of me back then?"

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Impure World Reincarnation had already been dispelled by his own awareness, and he was no longer able to answer Sakura's question.

However, Sakura has probably fulfilled Hiruzen Sarutobi's original expectations for her.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked at the girl over there and subconsciously thought of Gamamaru's prophecy from Mount Myōboku.

Facing the future, turning our backs on destruction.

Isn't this moment just as the prophecy foretold?

With our backs to the wreckage of war, and our eyes turned towards a new future...?

Gamamaru, you've finally fallen for their trick.

Success was due to prophecy, and failure was also due to prophecy.

Being overly obsessed with so-called prophecies, believing oneself to be able to control the future, one is unaware that they have already been controlled by the prophecies, and has embarked on a path of fanaticism.
"Mother."

"Mother."

A dark, unidentified object inside a wooden cage called out to Kaguya.

Kaguya Otsutsuki heard Black Zetsu's voice and walked towards him, opening the cage for Black Zetsu.

Her resurrection is all thanks to Black Zetsu's relentless efforts over the past thousand years.

Sakura glanced at Black Zetsu but didn't say anything more.

After all, Naruto also has another name: Black Zetsu Saves His Mother.

He's a truly filial son, which is a positive thing.

At that moment, Madara Uchiha stared blankly at the sky.

He already knew everything; the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi was the technique used to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.

He was deceived...

A figure sat down next to Uchiha Madara.

"Is that Hashirama?"

Madara Uchiha looked at the sky, his words carrying a hint of death.

"Ah."

"Ban, you're wrong."

Hashirama Senju spoke in a deep voice.

"I was wrong."

Madara Uchiha's life force had been almost completely taken away by Kaguya, and he didn't have much time left.

"Hashirama, you're wrong too."

"Just as Sakura Haruno said, the ninja village system you created has led to more deaths."

"We've all taken the wrong path."

"Perhaps she is right."

Madara Uchiha turned his head with difficulty and saw a pink color getting closer and closer to him through his blurry vision.

Hashirama Senju silently watched Madara Uchiha.

He still does not agree with Sakura's ideas at this moment.

However, after experiencing failure, Madara came to accept Sakura's ideals.

Unification...

"You seem more sensible than Hashirama Senju."

Sakura approached Madara Uchiha and calmly spoke to the man who was about to die.

"He's always been a hothead."

Madara Uchiha seemed to have seen through everything at this moment, with a relieved smile on his face.

"I will gouge out your eyes after you die and replace them with Hashirama Senju's."

"Let Hashirama Senju nurture your Rinnegan."

Sakura looked at Madara Uchiha in front of her, her calm words carrying a hint of cruelty.

"what?!"

"This won't work!"

Hashirama Senju almost instinctively voiced his opposition.

Do you think you have any right to speak here?

"Go sit at the same table as the weasel."

Sakura looked calmly at Hashirama Senju, brooking no refusal from him.

"My eyes?"

Madara Uchiha didn't seem to mind.

Although the Rinnegan is almost destroyed at this moment, it can still regain its power.

After their final battle at the Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha used one of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to feign death and escape using Izanagi.

Furthermore, by using a piece of flesh bitten off from Hashirama Senju, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan that had used Izanagi gradually regained its light and was upgraded to the Rinnegan.

If Hashirama Senju were to use his nearly ruined eyes, it wouldn't be long before the Rinnegan regains its power.

Moreover, because of Hashirama's cells throughout his body, he was able to use the Rinnegan without any hindrance.

"Don't refuse, Hashirama."

"Just consider it as me seeing the peace that comes after unification..."

Madara Uchiha grasped Hashirama Senju's hand, his words carrying a hint of pleading.

"Motor..."

Hashirama Senju looked at his dearest friend holding his hand tightly, speechless with emotion.

Will unification truly bring peace...?

Hashirama Senju did not believe it.

However, Madara Uchiha seemed oblivious to Hashirama Senju's expression. He reached out and placed his hand on the face on his chest where Hashirama Senju's cells had been transplanted.

“I once took your body.”

"Now, you have taken my eyes."

“That’s fair, Hashiramar.”

Looking at Uchiha Madara before him, Senju Hashirama remained silent.

"Peace..."

"I really want to see it with my own eyes..."

With Madara Uchiha's last words, his last breath came to an end.

Sakura calmly watched the scene unfold before her; Madara Uchiha never let go of Hashirama Senju's hand, even in death.

"Hashirama Senju, what is your choice?"

Sakura looked at Hashirama Senju, who stood silently in place.

"I will follow Ban's last wishes."

"But that doesn't mean I'll approve of you."

Hashirama Senju looked up at Sakura.

"Heh, whatever. I wonder if you'll eventually become my staunchest supporter."

Sakura smiled as she looked at Hashirama Senju, who was speaking righteously in front of me.

"it's out of the question."

"A unification achieved by suppressing others by force is destined to be short-lived."

Hashirama Senju still had that stubborn temper.

"It won't take too long, my heart is small."

"Three hundred years of peace would be enough."

Sakura waved her hand.

Three hundred years...

Hashirama Senju was slightly taken aback.

The ninja village he founded was plagued by constant warfare after his death, yet the current Hokage shamelessly claims that unification would bring three hundred years of peace.
It’s simply a fantasy!

"Lin!"

"Lin!"

"Lin, don't go!!"

"Lin!"

Suddenly, a mournful wail rang out in the distance, which made Sakura's eyes twitch.

Well, this guy actually dreamed about Nohara Rin.

Really...

However, Sakura had no intention of causing trouble for Obito Uchiha at the moment. Instead, she looked in one direction and then her figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Orochimaru, who had just broken free from the Infinite Tsukuyomi, was now preparing to slip away quietly while no one was paying attention.

Where are you planning to run off to?

"Senior brother."

At that moment, a voice that Orochimaru least wanted to hear rang out behind him.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to care about me so much, junior sister."

At this moment, Orochimaru had no choice but to turn around and face the Fifth Hokage.

Orochimaru knew that in this situation, he had no chance of escaping.

"I just can't help but care."

Sakura took a step forward, instantly grabbing Orochimaru by the throat and looking at him with a cold smile.

"After all, you've caused me a lot of trouble, senior brother."

At this moment, Orochimaru felt no discomfort whatsoever despite having his throat gripped. A cold smile appeared on his face as he looked at Sakura and said:

"The wages of avarice is death."

"We each have our own purposes."

"Besides, my lovely junior sister, do you really think you can kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Sakura sneered, and pink flames instantly ignited in her hand. Then she spoke:

"What do you say?"

"You don't think you can deduce my current abilities with your mere Kage-level knowledge, do you?"

There is an insurmountable gap between the Six Paths and the Super Shadow, let alone the so-called Shadow.

Even Obito Uchiha, who was a Six Paths floor tile in the original work, was not comparable to Hashirama Senju.

Moreover, Orochimaru was facing himself.

At this moment, the formula for the soul was rapidly taking shape in Sakura's mind.

The Yin Release technique at the Six Paths level represents the pinnacle of 'technique,' something Orochimaru could neither comprehend nor even touch.

"What do you mean?"

Orochimaru's expression changed slightly at this moment.

However, Sakura calmly spoke up:

"Now, can you sense the fragments of your soul hidden within the curse seal?"

"Since you are so fascinated by immortality."

"Death is the most painful end for you."

"Then, I will have the most ordinary person, with the most ordinary knife, kill you, this arrogant being, at the execution ground in Konoha."

Orochimaru's face was extremely ugly at this moment. Just as Sakura had said, he could no longer sense the fragments of his soul.

And for some reason, his consciousness seemed to be slowly growing stronger at this moment.

No, it wasn't that his consciousness was slowly growing stronger, but rather that countless fragments of his soul, imperceptible to the naked eye, were pouring into Orochimaru's body.

Clearly, under Sakura's unknown technique, Orochimaru's fragmented souls are slowly coming together.

"Wait, wait, you can't do this!"

"I have expertise in scientific research and technology!"

At that moment, Orochimaru truly sensed the approach of death, and a look of terror appeared on his face.

Are you in a hurry?

"I preferred your rebellious self before, compared to now."

Sakura sneered at Orochimaru in front of her.

Sakura had had enough of this guy.

He encountered Orochimaru right from his debut, and later, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Orochimaru directly sold out his information.

This time it's another Edo Tensei, another chakra cannon.

Orochimaru was practically teetering on the edge of Sakura's limits.

Orochimaru quickly calmed down, then looked at the pink-haired man in front of him and spoke sincerely:
"If you don't kill me, I can research a chakra cannon for you."

"The second generation can do it."

"I can also help you perfect various forbidden techniques."

"The second generation can do it."

"I can also help you research technology."

"The second generation can do it."

"I can still..."

Orochimaru had a toothache; this was the first time he had ever hated the Second Hokage so much.

"It seems your abilities are nothing special."

"Not even half as good as the second generation."

Sakura sensed that Orochimaru's soul had been fully condensed, and without hesitation, she unleashed the Four Symbols Seal on him, cutting off his chakra.

Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju, who had been keeping an eye on Sakura, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Alright, alright, so it's all my doing, right?
