Itachi felt the situation was utterly unbelievable.
Madara Uchiha was a man from the era of the First Hokage!
And—
Wasn't Madara killed by Hashirama at the Valley of the End?
How…
was he alive until a little over ten years ago!?
Obito:
"Nagato, yes—
I did intend to use you to resurrect Madara-sama.
But that doesn't mean we don't share other goals!"
Nagato:
"You think I'd still believe you?
You think any of us would?"
Deidara:
"You went WAY too far.
Pretending, fooling us,
acting like a clown—
was that fun for you, hmm!?"
Itachi:
"Obito…
Tell me everything you know about Madara."
Obito was getting a massive headache—
and then another @ notification appeared in the chat.
[Madara @ Obito:
What's wrong?
Why aren't you answering?
Hurry up!
Or when I resurrect,
you'll see how I deal with you!]
[Obito @ Madara:
Madara-sama, I'm in the Akatsuki base right now!
I've already been exposed! /pitiful]
[Madara:
So what?
They're just pieces on the board
meant to resurrect me.
Now that I have a Resurrection Coin,
they're useless.
If they trouble you—kill them.
And remember to retrieve the Rinnegan for me.]
[Obito:
Madara-sama…
You say that so easily.
But killing everyone here alone is…
kind of difficult!]
The entire ninja world was shocked reading the exchange.
[Fourth Raikage A:
So the masked man who controlled the Nine-Tails
and attacked Konoha back then—
wasn't Madara!?
It was that Obito brat?]
[Obito @ Raikage:
Watch your mouth.
I'm NOT a brat.]
[Raikage A:
I know.
You're not a brat—
you're a thing.
I said nothing wrong!]
Obito finally realized,
and his teeth ground together in fury.
[Obito @ Raikage:
Just wait.
I'll come find you.
Then you'll know exactly who's a "thing"!]
[Raikage A:
Good!
Great!
I'll wait in the Hidden Cloud.
I'd like to see—
besides Madara himself—
what kind of strength someone who can control the Nine-Tails has!]
[Third Tsuchikage Ohnoki:
Impossible!
Nagato's Rinnegan belonged to Madara!?
No way!
Madara died at the Valley of the End!
@Chiyo, you remember this as well, right?]
[Chiyo:
Indeed—
after that battle, Madara never appeared again.
But whether he truly died…
I cannot be certain.]
[Fourth Mizukage Mei:
So according to the timeline…
Madara was still alive just over ten years ago!?]
[Hashirama @ Madara:
Madara!!
What is going on!?
Were you NOT dead back then!?
Did you keep living afterward!?]
[Tobirama:
Impossible!
After the Valley of the End fight,
I never saw Madara again—
all the way until my death!]
[Hiruzen:
I never saw him either.
Not even once.]
[Tobirama @ Hiruzen:
Don't call me teacher.
You're not worthy!]
[Madara @ Everyone:
Correct.
After the Valley of the End—
I did NOT die.]
Madara's personal confirmation
shocked both the ninja world and the Pure Land.
[Hashirama:
MADARA!
Explain yourself!!]
[Izuna:
Big brother!!
You're amazing!
You fooled the entire world!]
[Tobirama:
Hmph.
So you lived—
yet never dared show your face.
And even so, you're dead again now.
Hardly impressive.]
[Second Raikage:
Never thought the God of Shinobi's rival
was alive all this time…]
[Hiruzen:
This can't be real…]
Hiruzen was sweating cold.
If Madara truly lived ten years ago—
then Madara surely knew everything
about what he did to the Uchiha clan…
Danzō felt the same chill.
If Madara wanted revenge—
Danzō would be first on the list.
But then—
A new @ in the chat
made the whole world freeze.
Even Madara and Hashirama stiffened.
[Kaguya Ōtsutsuki @ Sage of Six Paths:
Unfilial child.
Get out here and accept your beating!]
[Sage of Six Paths @ Kaguya:
Mother…
You were pulled into the group too.]
Everyone went silent.
Even the bravest ninja didn't dare interrupt.
Because—
One of the names was too legendary.
The Sage of Six Paths.
"The Sage of Six Paths was REAL!?"
"And that other person—Ōtsutsuki Kaguya—who is she!?"
"Six Paths is being scolded as an unfilial child!?"
"What did he DO!?"
Rain Country — Akatsuki Base.
Konan was stunned.
"Nagato…
You said the Sage of Six Paths created ninjutsu.
I thought it was a legend…
But he's REAL!?"
Nagato was equally shaken.
"I only knew myths…
For example, the moon was said to be created by his Chibaku Tensei."
Everyone in the Akatsuki was stunned.
Madara was about to resurrect.
Now legends were appearing.
The world was on the verge of total chaos.
Even Obito was confused.
He knew about the Sage—
but he had never heard of Kaguya.
And Madara's exposed messages
made his situation even more dangerous.
The Akatsuki members were still watching him closely—
ready to attack at the slightest move.
Then—
Black Zetsu rose from Obito's feet.
"Obito, looks like you're in trouble.
I'm here to help."
Obito let out a breath of relief.
With Black Zetsu,
handling the Akatsuki members would be far easier.
Pure Land.
[Madara:
Hashirama!
Even you wouldn't expect—
not only is the Sage real,
but his mother is ALSO alive!]
[Hashirama:
Madara?!
You knew!?]
[Izuna:
Big brother is amazing!
He knows everything!]
[Tobirama:
Knowing a story is nothing special.]
[Madara:
Heh—actually
I only knew some legends.
Even I didn't expect this.]
Chat Group
[Kaguya:
Unfilial child!
Release me immediately!
If I'm in a good mood,
I might leave you a whole corpse.]
[Sage of Six Paths:
Mother…
I'm sorry.
But I cannot release you.
Or the world will end.]
[Kaguya:
You think I can't escape just because YOU refuse?]
[Sage:
For all these years—
have you not been sealed
in the center of the moon?]
The entire world gasped.
"The moon wasn't naturally formed!?"
"It was created by Chibaku Tensei!?"
"Six Paths CREATED the moon!?"
"Then that Kaguya must be terrifying…"
"If they're real—
even Hashirama and Madara
are NOTHING in comparison."
Rain Country — Akatsuki Base.
Nagato exhaled slowly.
"To think…
the moon was created just to seal Ōtsutsuki Kaguya…"
Deidara shivered.
"Then that means—
Kaguya's strength must be insane!
Hmm!"
Hidan:
"If the Sage himself is already the strongest legend—
what kind of monster is HIS mother?"
Nagato's face darkened.
"The Chibaku Tensei I used in the future
is nothing
compared to the one that made the moon.
His power…
is beyond anything I can imagine."
