As Otsutsuki Kou finished speaking, the figure in the haori looked down at the crowd, the crimson Mangekyo in his eyes slightly distorted under the influence of gravity.

The ground beneath his feet began to crack, and the fine pebbles turned into dust under the weight.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

Killer B felt the terrifying power and subconsciously looked at Asuma and Guy in the crowd.

Beneath Asuma's leather coat, one could vaguely see the skin on his neck, bruised and battered from being crushed by gravity.

Kai's right hand was wrapped in bandages and was still trembling slightly.

No wonder they got hurt.

Killer B thought to himself:

"If that guy's ability is to manipulate gravity, then neither Ninjutsu nor Taijutsu would be able to attack him."

Kakashi met Killer B's gaze and nodded slightly, a hint of regret appearing in his single eye.

"Originally, there was one chance."

According to the information relayed by Kou, although his two Dōjutsu could be used simultaneously, there would be a brief moment every ten minutes when he could not maintain the Dōjutsu and could only use one of them.

"We were preparing to seal him away during that opportunity, but unexpectedly, a Impure World Reincarnation Uchiha took the attack for him, causing us to miss our chance and fall into danger."

He paused, turned his head to look at the Tobirama, and murmured with lingering fear:

"If it weren't for the Second saving us with the Flying Thunder God Technique, we would probably... be dead."

Tobirama paid no attention to the reactions of the others; his attention was now entirely focused on Otsutsuki Xi in front of him.

To be precise, it was on the Impure World Reincarnation remains beneath his feet, firmly pressed down by the gravitational field.

"You're preventing them from recovering."

Tobirama shifted his gaze from the fragments to the handsome, youthful face, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes:

"The fact that you can still maintain consciousness means that Madara only issued the order to 'capture the Jinchuriki at all costs' in your subconscious. In order to unleash your fighting power to the maximum extent, he did not completely control your actions."

Using your indiscriminate Dōjutsu to forcibly suppress their recovery is your own will.

You are defying the freckles' commands in this way.

At this point, Tobirama paused, then tentatively began to speak:

"In that case, you might as well tell us directly how you'll be defeated."

After all, you don't seem to want to follow Madara's orders, do you?

"Hmph, do you want me to help you cheat?"

Senju Clan? No wonder he's a descendant of the Ninja Sect; he certainly has a lot of clever tricks up his sleeve.

Otsutsuki Xi chuckled, glancing at the battlefield where Madara was, and curled her lip in disdain:

"You're right, I did want to help you because I was annoyed by that junior's control."

So that you can seal us away as soon as possible and then stop that brat's foolish plan.

After all, that junior's attitude and thoughts were indeed quite annoying.

Fu breathed a sigh of relief, collected the phosphorus powder gathered in her hand, and waved with a grin:

"That's great, thank you so much, you look like a fierce big brother!"

The tense expressions on everyone's faces eased considerably, except for Otsutsuki Kou and Tobirama, whose expressions remained grave.

"Hehe, don't be too happy yet, little bug."

Looking at Fu's smiling face, Otsutsuki Xi raised one hand and gently rubbed her thumb and middle finger together.

"Smack!"

The snap of fingers was crisp and short, echoing across the quiet battlefield.

"That's what I thought before."

He changed the subject:

"But now, I've changed my mind."

To everyone's astonishment, the gravitational field dissipated.

The fragments of Impure World Reincarnation that had been pressed to the ground seemed to be released from their restraints, slowly rising from beneath his feet and rapidly converging in mid-air.

The figures of Uchiha Jie, Uchiha Chiri, and Uchiha Jiahao reappeared before everyone!

After Jie and Chiri recovered, they looked at Xi with surprise, seemingly quite taken aback.

Jiahao looked furious, his lips pressed down, as if he wanted to tear the young man in the haori to pieces.

Kai, looking at this sudden scene, was clearly still in shock, scratching his head in bewilderment:

"What, what's going on? Didn't you just say you were going to help us?"

This is...

"That's right, that was indeed my previous thought."

Otsutsuki Xi nodded readily, smiling in Kai's direction with a carefree and open smile, like a child on a whim.

"That's right, that was indeed my previous thought."

But now, I've discovered something even more interesting.

He spread his hands facing the crowd, the patterns in his Mangekyō Sharingan began to spin, and an excited smile appeared on his lips:

"That is to have a thoroughly enjoyable battle with you all of this era!"

Kakashi frowned, and the light in his single eye instantly dimmed.

"Just for this? This war concerns the future of the Ninja World!"

What does that have to do with me?

Xi spoke calmly, almost as if it were a slip of the tongue, without the slightest hesitation.

"In my eyes, it was nothing more than opening my eyes and suddenly arriving in a completely unfamiliar era."

Compared to saving the world, witnessing novel techniques and fighting against powerful figures from this era are much more interesting to me.

He spread his arms to the sides, looked at the crowd, and shouted passionately:

"Come, powerful beings from the future... please me to your heart's content!!"

The moment he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure was suddenly released from his body!

The oppressive aura was even stronger than before, carrying a genuine fighting spirit, enveloping the entire battlefield.

A heavy feeling settled over everyone, and their faces darkened.

Tailed Beast Cloak appeared on Killer B, Gaara, and the others. The Third Hokage and Hatake Sakumo calmly observed them, seemingly looking for an opportunity to strike.

Kai clenched his fist, while Kakashi held the White Fang in his hand, wind-style Chakra humming between Asuma's fingers.

Tobirama, however, seemed completely unsurprised, letting out a cold snort and shaking his head disdainfully.

"I knew it. After all, he's just an ancestor of the Uchiha; he's not trustworthy at all."

Otsutsuki Kou frowned slightly and couldn't help but correct him:

Let me correct your statement, kid.

Even though our lineage does indeed uphold the supremacy of martial prowess and is mostly arrogant, someone as free-spirited and self-centered as this is unique, even in the long history of Ninjutsu School.

He paused, recalling the records in ancient books, and said with a strange expression:

"After all, according to the historical records of the Ninjutsu School, the reason why he took the initiative to provoke a full-scale war with the Ninja Sect was partly because the conflict between the two schools had reached an irreconcilable point."

But from his perspective, he simply wanted to fight the leader of the Ninja Sect to the death.

"So, that guy is the dumbest of a bunch of idiots."

"... That's a pretty accurate way to understand it."
