The Great War Erupts

Urashiki Otsutsuki, dazed and confused by Roy's indirect admission, mumbled, "The progenitor has long since passed away, and even his soul has been destroyed in the River of Time and Space, right after he planted the first God Tree!"

Roy was stunned. Even he hadn't expected this outcome. Imu, who had vowed to return and seek revenge, had died in this strange world, while simultaneously using his last remaining flame of life to usher in a new era.

However, upon closer analysis, this outcome isn't entirely unexpected. Crossing the turbulent flow of time is inherently a matter of life and death, and Imu, who had already uttered those harsh words, was at his last gasp. It was already extremely difficult for him to drag his shattered body into this world and use his remaining strength to sow the seeds of revenge.

Moreover, Imu's soul did not belong to this world. After burning out the last bit of life, he could not return to the underworld like the creatures of this world. He could only watch helplessly and unwillingly as his soul completely perished.

Although somewhat unexpected, Roy was certainly not so bored as to wallow in self-pity over his enemy.

"So, Imu planted the God Tree so that his descendants could obtain the power to take revenge on me?" Roy asked with great interest.

"Ah? I... I don't know." Urashiki Otsutsuki said in fear, his initial arrogance long gone. This was a figure even their ancestor feared and fled from; how could he have the courage to be arrogant in front of him?

"It's a pity that Imu himself probably never imagined that the person who obtained the power of the God Tree would be Kaguya, who had no combat experience whatsoever and whose mindset was still at its most primitive Kaguya. Well, that's fine too. Consider his last efforts as paving the way for me, building a bridge to peace for me to conquer this new world!"

Under Roy's tyranny, Urashiki Otsutsuki could only tremble and lower his proud head.

"What did you say? The Sage of Six Paths is a demon king who intends to destroy the world, the source of all darkness? Nonsense!" Uchiha Madara was already annoyed to see himself covered in shredded paper, and he was even more dismissive of Obito's doubts and criticisms.

"Alright! Uchiha Madara, I'll trust you one last time, after all, I've long since given up on turning back!" Obito Madara a deep look, then turned and walked out of the dark cave.

At that moment, a black shadow emerged from the darkness. Uchiha Madara, without turning his head, asked, "Black Zetsu, what exactly is going on? Why was I resurrected in the form of Impure World Reincarnation? Why is Obito starting to question everything I do? Why is the Sage of Six Paths regarded as a demon king who will destroy the world?"

Uchiha Madara was naturally unwilling to believe that the Sage of Six Paths was a demon king who would destroy the world. After all, everything he knew came from the Poneglyph in the Uchiha Clan's Naka Shrine, which clearly recorded the Sage of Six Paths' feat of saving the world.

If the information on the Poneglyph is incorrect, wouldn't that mean the Moon Eye plan is likely just a hoax? Therefore, he would rather believe that Obito was fooled than consider the other possibility.

Hearing the anger hidden in Uchiha Madara's words, Black Zetsu replied helplessly, "Lord Madara, the root of all this is the appearance of one person, Roy, who calls himself the Dream God Sect Pope. Not only is he powerful, far Obito Uchiha, but he also controls the power of dreams. Furthermore, he seems to know many secrets of the Shinobi World. The legends of the Sage of Six Paths and the Rabbit Goddess were spread by him through the mouths of the five great ninja villages."

"The Dream God Sect ... Roy ..." Uchiha Madara pondered for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Interesting, very interesting. I never expected that during these years of slumber, such a figure who stirs up trouble would reappear in the Shinobi World!"

Seeing that Uchiha Madara seemed to be ready to fight, Black Zetsu was startled and quickly stopped him, saying, "Lord Madara, please do not act rashly before you retrieve the Rinnegan and are truly resurrected!"

Uchiha Madara flashed with murderous intent, his anger surging. "You think I'm no match for that guy named Roy?"

"Lord Madara, the enemy is exceptionally powerful. Even the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave fell to him. It is said that he even controls a portion of the Sage of Six Paths' power. If you face him in your Impure World Reincarnation form, your chances of victory are slim!" Black Zetsu replied honestly.

Uchiha Madara frowned, but did not continue to vent his anger on Black Zetsu. After all, in his eyes, Black Zetsu was the embodiment of his own will and an existence that was absolutely loyal to him.

"In that case, I'll hold back for a while longer. Also, since Obito is already disobedient, let him contribute his last bit of strength to my resurrection!" After saying this, Uchiha Madara stopped and walked out steadily and powerfully.

After a long pause, Black Zetsu's frustrated voice rang out in the darkness. "Damn it, where did that man named Roy come from? Ever since he appeared, things have completely spiraled out of my control."

"However, that bastard Six Paths who betrayed his mother probably never imagined that he would be betrayed by the Shinobi World one day. This kind of news is truly delightful!"

Soon, Black Zetsu's voice shifted from smug satisfaction to panic. "However, that man named Roy actually knows the secrets of the Otsutsuki Clan. Could he be the backup plan left behind in this world by the main family that Mother feared?"

"Damn it, we absolutely can't just sit here and wait to die. Even if we use part of the Eight Tails and Nine-Tails' Chakra to temporarily revive the Ten-Tails in an incomplete form, it will be enough for Uchiha Madara to use Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

"As long as we wait for Mother to be resurrected, everything will end!"

"Demonic Illusion: Mirage!"

"Dream Technique: Dream Realm Mist!"

The white mist and the seven-colored aura blended together, and the mirage summoned by the Second Water Shadow using the Summoning Technique was utterly powerless against the power of that dream.

"Is mere illusion really no match for the illusion of dreams? I lost this battle, but seeing you juniors surpass your predecessors and use powers we never controlled makes this soul imprisonment less intolerable!" the Second Water Shadow praised.

"Indeed, fusing the power of dreams with Chakra is a genius-level innovation. The person who can do this is no less accomplished than the Sage of Six Paths who understood the essence of Chakra!" The Second Earth Shadow Muku praised without reservation.

"This time, we can finally pass away in peace. Our descendants, who symbolize hope, have surpassed our predecessors and no longer need us to protect the village," the Third Lightning Shadow said with great satisfaction.

"You've really grown up, Gaara! As parents, we should trust our children so that we can discover their true value. Karura, that's what you mean, right? It seems that I'm the one who lacks the eyes to see value!" The Fourth Wind Shadow Rasa, exclaimed.

Amidst sighs and relief, the four Kage were completely sealed away, and the Shinobi Alliance, having endured a bitter battle, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew! We finally did it. As expected of the previous Kage from each village, their strength and experience far surpass ours. If it weren't for the power of the dream, we would have suffered heavy casualties to finally defeat these four previous Kage." Temari wiped the sweat from her forehead and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Be careful! I sense an extremely powerful Chakra approaching. Its aura is even stronger than that of the previous Kage!" Just as everyone relaxed slightly, Hinata warned in a panic.

"Oh no, he's already here!"

Ōnoki, supporting his aching back, looked up at the cliff above and said with difficulty, "He's finally here, Uchiha Madara!"
