"Has the Cursed Seal been broken?!"
Madara glared. "Hmph, you're something else. Looks like I'll have to rely on Hashirama to weaken the Ten-Tails ' power first, then figure out a solution."
No one succeeds easily, even if he is known as the strongest ninja.
Madara was not discouraged. After all, he was now immortal, and as long as he waited patiently, he would eventually find an opportunity.
The Ten-Tails' enormous body was quickly absorbed into Nagato's body and disappeared in an instant.
Click...
The support system that Nagato had always relied on shattered completely, leaving him standing in mid-air. His red hair, a symbol of the Uzumaki Clan, visibly turned white.
The Six Paths of Pain fell to the ground, having completed their mission.
"Is that all?" Konan was still uneasy.
Aoki Tsuki shook his head. "I have no experience as Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, how would I know? Don't worry, he has the Rinnegan and the Six Paths bloodline."
He was born to be the perfect vessel for the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
He packed Yahiko's body into a scroll and solemnly handed it to Konan with both hands. "Here, your ex."
Konan glared at her current boyfriend, then silently put the item away. An unserious man can catch you off guard at any time.
Bang!
He kicked Danzo's corpse right in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
" Third Lord Hokage, this is your bond, I'm returning it to you."
" Danzo..." Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Danzo's corpse with a complex expression, past memories flashing through his mind, including his old buddy's most frequently uttered phrase: 'Ninjas are tools.'
Unexpectedly, after its death, it became someone else's tool, used and discarded.
Madara shouted to Hashirama, "You seem to be in big trouble."
"Madara, is this also part of your plan?" Hashirama asked with a serious expression, noticing Madara's Rinnegan.
"It was before, but not anymore. He has escaped my control and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."
"I can't do anything about him right now," Ban frankly admitted.
"Why... why do these things when you're already dead? What exactly do you want to do?"
Hashirama knew perfectly well that most of these juniors were being used by Madara, who was the one who was causing trouble.
"As far as I know, after our deaths, three large-scale wars broke out in the Shinobi World, with ninja villages fighting each other and causing countless tragedies."
As long as ninjas exist, peace is impossible. The facts prove that your policy of limiting the country to one village is the wrong path.
"So what is your path? To resurrect the Ten-Tails and utterly destroy everyone?"
"No, that's not it. Reviving the Ten-Tails is just the first step in the plan. Next, we'll use the Ten-Tails to cast infinite Genjutsu on the entire Shinobi World, making everyone live in a dream."
Everyone can get everything they want, and there will never be war again.
"What... you cast Genjutsu on the entire Shinobi World, making us live in a dream forever?! Are you insane?!"
Hashirama Senju was astonished by this plan.
Upon Tobirama Senju frowned, thinking to himself, "Even if Madara were dead, I wouldn't feel at ease."
"Watch out, that guy's making a move."
Everyone looked up at the sky. Nagato was wearing a white robe with black Tomoe on it, holding a staff, and nine Truth-Seeking Orb were floating in a circle behind him.
His skin was deathly pale, and his legs had regenerated the moment he became Jinchūriki.
"To be frank, this guy's Chakra... has far surpassed my prime," Hashirama cautioned.
Tobirama replied, "It seems we're in for a tough battle."
Suddenly, Aoki Tsuki said loudly, "Wait, I have a suggestion, please listen to me."
"Huh? Who is this...?"
"Listen, who I am doesn't matter. Too many people have died in this war. We are heartbroken and never expected it to end like this."
It was all Madara Uchiha. He orchestrated all of this from behind the scenes. We've been used. Let's call a truce and make peace."
Tsunade retorted angrily, "Don't even think about it! You think you can just stop fighting after you've gotten some benefits? This isn't over yet."
" Lord Hashirama, in your attempt to balance the power, you distributed the Nine Tailed Beasts among the villages, which only made the war more brutal. It has been proven that the path you chose was wrong."
Lord Madara wants everyone to live in a dream world, which will eventually lead to a desolate and lifeless world. That's even more outrageous.
Now that the Tailed Beast have been retrieved, the power of each village has returned to its starting point.
Pain, the leader of Pain, was a true peace lover. As long as he lived, no one in the Shinobi World would dare to start another war.
Peace is just around the corner, everyone. Don't let hatred blind you; taking a step back will open up a whole new world.
"What this kid said makes a lot of sense."
"Brother, don't be fooled. He's a terrorist, the instigator of the war. Ninjas cannot be easily compromised."
Tobirama sternly warned, "Moreover, how can we hand over our power to the enemy?"
"You've killed so many people, do you really think a single sentence can make everyone let go of their hatred? The peace you speak of is your own peace, it doesn't belong to anyone else."
" Lady Tsunade's words are biased. Does that mean your peace is the only peace, and our peace is not?"
The peace of the Shinobi World over the past few decades has been defined by you Five Great Nations, while wars among smaller nations have never ceased.
Your peace only cares about your own small family; it is built on the suffering of neighboring small countries—it is a small peace.
Now we have redefined peace; it belongs to everyone in the Shinobi World, it is true, Yamato.
"Hmph, you've merely stolen someone else's power, placing the safety of the entire Shinobi World on one person's shoulders. No one will allow that."
"You're wrong again. The Tailed Beast don't belong to anyone. They are awe-inspiring forces. The Akatsuki's purpose is to collect the Tailed Beast and create peace."
We have achieved our objectives; there is no need for the war to continue. Please note that I am not making a request.
The disparity in strength between the two sides is now too great. If you insist on refusing to embrace the new era, the final result will only be greater sacrifices. Please stop.
"What a sharp-tongued brat!"
Tobirama Senju cautioned, "Don't forget who started this war. The countless sacrifices cannot be forgiven with a few nice words."
"Well said, Lord Tobirama, I give you a thumbs up."
Aoki Tsuki gave Tobirama Senju a thumbs up.
"As the instigators of war, they must pay the price. So how do we account for the several major wars that the Five Great Nations have waged on our small country's soil over the past few decades?!"
"Huh?... So that's where you were waiting for me." Tobirama was speechless.
The ninja world is inherently chaotic and messy. In every war, the Five Great Nations have tried to minimize their own losses and avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Thus, they tacitly agreed to use small countries as battlefields, resulting in countless civilian deaths and injuries.
The emergence of Xiao was both accidental and inevitable; it was the backlash from a small country that had been wantonly ravaged by a large country for a long time.
Tsunade clenched her fists and said, "I cannot forgive you for the harm you have done to the village."
"We have never harmed Konoha. The Third was killed by Orochimaru. Danzo killed our Akatsuki's first leader, and we only killed him; we did not implicate the others."
As for the Fourth's death and the Nine-Tails' Disturbance, it was his good student, Obito Uchiha, who attacked the village while the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was giving birth.
He's over there, Yondaime. Go ask him yourself if you don't believe me.
Minato Namikaze turned and looked into the distance, exclaiming in surprise, "It was him! Obito is still alive..."
"And Madara is also from your Konoha. It was all your own people who were causing trouble. You are the ones who brought disaster to the Shinobi World."
We've dragged everyone down with us, so please stop blaming us. We were forced to resist.
"Where did this kid come from? He broke my Cursed Seal..."
Ban was initially watching the verbal sparring between the two sides, but he never expected it to involve him. He then thought about finding an opportunity to kill this person.
Even so, I can't let you off the hook!
"So you resort to fists when you're in the wrong? Fine, the reasoning has already been made clear. Whether to fight or make peace is your own choice."
Let me make this clear beforehand: we're not going to hold back anymore. If we accidentally wipe you all out, don't cry.
Aoki Tsuki's long rambling wasn't just idle talk; it was to make his stance clear: even villains must seize the moral high ground.
He knew that Nagato still retained a sliver of kindness in his heart, and if he softened his heart at a crucial moment, he would be doomed.
There's no way he and Konan can defeat the Hokage's crew.
"Arrogant! Even the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is not invincible. We possess immortality and unlimited Chakra."
The outcome remains to be seen.
"Foolish! The Six Paths Power can completely destroy your Reanimated Body. I'm giving you a chance to live."
Aoki Tsuki turned his head and said, "Leader, these people rely on their strength and insist on taking control of the power of peace. They are too selfish."
They are merely stumbling blocks on the road to peace; let them feel the pain.
"A stumbling block? Hahaha... This kid's quite interesting."
Hashirama Senju clasped his hands together, swallowing a massive amount of Natural Energy. In the same Sage Mode, some people can only drink one bowl before becoming saturated, while others can drink a whole bucket.
Their final combat capabilities are vastly different.
Aoki Tsuki secretly clicked his tongue in amazement; the amount of Natural Energy Hashirama absorbed was comparable to the amount he absorbed in his third Sage Mode.
Black lines appeared on Hashirama Senju's face: "Sage Art: Gate of the Great God "
Boom boom boom...
More than a dozen red torii gates descended from the sky in succession. This was an S-rank Sealing Jutsu, capable of changing size at will, and those suppressed were unable to move even their fingers.
It landed on Six Paths Nagato in layers.
After adapting to the time it took Aoki Tsuki to Talk no Jutsu, Six Paths Nagato also took the opportunity to concentrate his consciousness and subdue the Ten-Tails' invasion.
With both legs crippled and suspended from a cross, he endured hardship for over a decade. Needless to say, his willpower was unparalleled; few in the entire Shinobi World could compare to him.
"Since you insist on resisting to the end, I will grant your wish."
Click... click...
The sound of wood cracking came from the Gate of the Great God. As Nagato unleashed the Six Paths Power, the gate shattered with a crash, and the nine Truth-Seeking Orb on his back merged and transformed into six arms.
Thump thump thump...
With arms outstretched, each grasped the Six Red Yang Formation, and together they exerted their strength, forcefully tearing apart the seemingly unbreakable formation.
Tobirama called out, "Be careful, this guy is terrifyingly strong. Let's attack together!"
The Third Hokage was the first to respond, summoning a Fūma Shuriken and throwing it at Nagato while forming hand Hand Seals.
" Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique "
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The rapidly spinning Shuriken quickly split into more than a dozen pieces, displaying astonishing power, truly deserving of the title of the strongest soldier.
