"This is truly incredible..."
The Otherworld's Ōnoki stood on the moon's barren surface, gazing toward the Shinobi World that had nurtured him.
The cracks on his face already showed that he had gone from a living man to a body of Impure World Reincarnation.
Beside him, Second Hokage Tobirama Senju stood with his hands on his hips. Repeated uses of the Flying Thunder God Technique had left even his reanimated body struggling to cope.
Although his chakra had become nearly limitless, the mental exhaustion gave him a sort of "phantom fatigue."
"Ōnoki, use the Light-Weight Rock Technique on the moon from here. Our world's version of you is on the other side."
"I'll go check on his progress..."
Tobirama's words still lingered in old Ōnoki's ears, but he had already vanished.
Old Ōnoki did not linger over the magnificent view of the Shinobi World either. His hands rapidly formed hand seals, then slammed into the ground. He had never experienced inexhaustible chakra before.
"I've never been this wasteful in my life!"
Streams of air burst from old Ōnoki's body, making the hem of his clothes flap noisily.
"Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique!"
Thrum~
An inexplicable ripple swept through the moon, as though it had suddenly expanded and contracted for an instant before returning to normal.
Only, its speed toward the Shinobi World increased a little more.
"Light-Weight Rock Technique!"
A pair of palms almost identical to old Ōnoki's suddenly slapped down beside him.
Arms folded, Tobirama watched the two identical Ōnokis, separated only by age, pour chakra into the moon together.
"Finished over there?"
Keeping his technique steady, old Ōnoki studied himself from over a decade ago.
"Got tricked into coming here?"
Ōnoki was rather indignant. Danzo was even squeezing labor out of his Otherworld counterpart. This was going too far!
