As soon as Kushinadahime finished speaking...
A black dot swooped down from the sky.
The black dot grew larger and larger, Shinsei's Mangekyō could see it clearly—it was Uchiha Madara Uchiha in traditional Uchiha attire.
In the blink of an eye, a massive impact slammed into the ground, Madara Uchiha slowly rose from his kneeling position in the crater.
Shinsei noticed that Madara Uchiha was somewhat different from before, noticing the seven black Truth-Seeking Orb behind him.
Moreover, in Shinsei's perception, Madara Uchiha's Chakra had become significantly different from before.
Clearly, Madara Uchiha wasn't idle during the time he was developing his own Ninjutsu.
Wow, Madara Uchiha has actually reached the Six Paths Level?
Otherwise, where did he get those seven Truth-Seeking Orb?
Shinsei thought of Madara Uchiha's Chakra, which was already showing signs of shifting towards Kekkei Mōra.
It seems he has now completely succeeded in his research.
However, Shinsei doesn't seem to be asking about Madara Uchiha increase in strength.
There's something more important right now: going crazy watching the drama unfold.
Madara Uchiha completely ignored Shinsei standing to the side, his gaze fixed intently on Kushinadahime.
"I've finally found you. Should I call you Hashirama, Kushinadahime, or your real name Omoikane?"
Kushinadahime's gaze fell on Madara Uchiha. She wasn't flustered or at a loss as expected.
Instead, she casually brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
You can call me whatever you like.
Shinsei swore he had never seen such a rich array of expressions on Madara Uchiha's face.
Shock, disappointment, anticipation—the list goes on.
Madara Uchiha blankly at Kushinadahime, his expression gradually calming down, eventually returning to the familiar aloofness of Shinsei.
"Okay, very good. We'll never..."
Madara Uchiha couldn't continue speaking.
No one knows what he's thinking at that moment.
He took one last deep look at Kushinadahime, then turned and left, his eyes filled with determination.
Shinsei was still frantically watching the drama unfold on the sidelines. This kind of explosive gossip would definitely be spread all over the world once he returned to his original timeline.
Let the Shinobi World world see that the once invincible Madara Uchiha has now been deceived in love and even had a child.
As for who gave birth to the child, that's not important.
Shinsei, of course, was unwilling to let Madara Uchiha leave like that.
He hadn't had enough of the gossip, nor had he achieved his goal of getting the Uchiha's help, so he hurriedly spoke up to stop them.
"Wait a minute, Madara-senpai."
Madara Uchiha turned around, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent.
It seemed she wanted to vent her unspeakable grievances on Shinsei.
Shinsei wasn't afraid of him, but there was no need to fight Madara Uchiha at this moment.
He adjusted the wildly upturned corners of his mouth, trying to make himself look more serious.
" Madara-senpai, wait a minute."
The Ōtsutsuki Clan has come to this planet. I'm alone, and there's Kushinadahime too. We're having some trouble dealing with them.
Therefore, I still need your help.
You wouldn't want your newborn child to be threatened by those Ōtsutsuki, would you?
"They might even be able to track us down to our timeline."
Madara Uchiha didn't speak, but instead looked at Kushinadahime who was standing to the side.
Kushinadahime, however, seemed somewhat wooden, simply standing there blankly. Just moments ago she had appeared so composed, but now she was clasping her hands together, twisting her fingers.
The atmosphere fell silent, as Madara Uchiha seemed to be waiting for Kushinadahime to speak.
But Kushinadahime remained silent, her eyes fixed on the ground, as if there was something attractive about it.
Something's wrong!
Shinsei was secretly enjoying the gossip.
Kushinadahime's attitude doesn't seem like that of a man towards another man.
Could it be that after Kushinadahime, or rather Omoikane, transformed into a woman, her mindset also truly became that of a woman?
Or did she truly develop feelings for Madara Uchiha?
Shinsei crossed his arms, touched his smooth chin, and looked at the couple in the room, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.
I really want to know what they're thinking right now!
In a way Omoikane her abilities and actions to influence Madara Uchiha 'Madara Uchiha thinking, which resulted in her giving birth to two children for him.
However, during this process, Omoikane may have genuinely changed her mind, leading her to truly develop feelings for him.
Shinsei became increasingly convinced that his guess was correct.
To be honest, with the strength of Shinsei and Madara Uchiha, it's really difficult for ordinary people with the ability to manipulate will to change the thoughts of those with such power.
If Omoikane's abilities were truly that powerful, he wouldn't have gone through so many roundabout methods.
If she were truly that strong, she would have been invincible long ago.
Madara Uchiha was incredibly perceptive; if he had sensed that Kushinadahime wasn't sincere during their time together, he probably would have noticed long ago.
Therefore, in this process, Omoikane, or rather Kushinadahime, probably received true love in return for true love.
She made herself truly fall in love with Madara Uchiha, and only on that basis could she influence Madara Uchiha and make him reciprocate her true feelings.
This also explains why Madara Uchiha didn't immediately start attacking Kushinadahime.
This behavior is more like that of a couple having a tiff.
Perhaps he didn't know why he was looking for Kushinadahime; was he perhaps seeking an answer?
Kushinadahime raised her head again and looked at Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha met her gaze. Kushinadahime finally spoke, her voice slightly hoarse.
"Madara, can you help me? The Ōtsutsuki Clan is our common enemy."
Shinsei's insight was so sharp that he noticed Madara Uchiha's lips suddenly curl up slightly, then quickly suppressed it.
Madara Uchiha coldly.
"I've long wanted to meet the so-called Ōtsutsuki Clan."
Haha, how arrogant!
Shinsei could tell that Madara Uchiha it.
He probably wanted to help Kushinadahime for a long time, but was too embarrassed to say it.
It doesn't matter, as long as the goal is achieved, Shinsei is willing to give him this way out.
"That's great, Madara-senpai."
Let's discuss how to deal with the Ōtsutsuki Clan. I just fought against them.
The situation should not be underestimated.
According to Kushinadahime, there are probably even more powerful beings behind those two Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Therefore, we must be careful in our actions.
"Kushinadahime- senpai, can you now tell me what information you know?"
Kushinadahime looked up and glanced at Shinsei.
She didn't speak immediately, but glanced at Ban first, as if to confirm something.
Ban didn't look at her; instead, he focused his gaze on the distant horizon.
Kushinadahime then withdrew her gaze and spoke.
" The Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is even more troublesome than I mentioned before."
Kinshiki and Urashiki were merely his protectors and pathfinders.
The real hunter is himself.
I've seen him in Kukurihime's prophecy.
Not in this era, but in the more distant future.
He descended once and slaughtered everyone on this planet who could resist.
Kaguya was nailed to the remains of the God Tree, and the two children were hung from its branches.
Madara was pierced by Truth-Seeking Orb, you had all your Chakra fished out by fishing line, and then you were pinned to the ground by a black rod.
I was already dead then, so I didn't see how I died.
Shinsei didn't speak, nor did Ban.
"But prophecies can be changed. Kukurihime's abilities, combined with my Mangekyō, allow me to see more than one future."
In one future, the three of us Teuchi.
That future has one condition: the battlefield must be in Takamagahara.
"Why?" Shinsei asked.
"Because Takamagahara my home turf," Kushinadahime explained. "I am now the ruler of Takamagahara."
As long as I stand on the land of Takamagahara, my Natural Energy is limitless.
This will also block their escape route, preventing them from fleeing.
These words reminded Shinsei of the boundless wall of Natural Energy he faced when Takemikazuchi-no-Kami died.
This is probably a unique way of trapping enemies in Takamagahara, or rather, a way of protecting them.
Even with Shinsei's current strength, the light wall was so sturdy that he couldn't break it in a short time.
Shinsei was confident he could stop the escaping Ōtsutsuki for even a moment, and he could keep them there.
Ban turned his head and glanced at her.
There was a lot in that glance, but Shinsei didn't have time to interpret it, because Kushinadahime had already continued speaking.
"But to bring the Isshiki to Takamagahara, we must first solve the Kinshiki and the Urashiki."
They won't let us Isshiki in quietly. So someone has to draw them away, to the battlefield outside Takamagahara. Isshiki won't personally intervene until they're dealt with."
"Who will lead the way?" Shinsei asked.
Kushinadahime and Madara both looked at him.
Shinsei sighed. He knew it.
"Alright, alright. With the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Thunderfire Celestial Venerable combined, no one can catch me."
"Moreover, your Kusanagi Sword can cut through Urashiki's fishing line. No matter how fast Kinshiki switches weapons, he can't stop anything that can be cut."
You can't beat both of them by yourself, but you can hold them off.
" Urashiki fishing rods can seal off space," Shinsei said. "My Flying Thunder God was sealed off once."
"So we can't let him have a chance to cast the line," Kushinadahime said. "Your Thunderfire Celestial Venerable's reaction speed is faster than his."
As long as you don't give him time to aim, he can't block you.
You don't need to beat him, you just need to prevent him from interfering with Ban and me.
Shinsei was silent for a while. He thought for a moment.
This plan is risky. But he can't think of a better one.
Suddenly, Madara spoke.
He pulled a White Snake from his waist and tossed it to Shinsei. The snake flipped in the air and landed on Shinsei's shoulder, coiling itself into a circle.
Its forked tongue flicked out and probed towards Shinsei's ear.
"It will lead you to them."
Shinsei looked at the White Snake on his shoulder. The White Snake looked back at him. He sighed and turned to look at Kushinadahime.
"Where exactly should we lead them?"
Kushinadahime waved her hand.
A wall of white mist appeared before the three of them, and on top of the wall was a map showing the location of Takamagahara.
A point of light appears in the center of the map; that is Amaterasu's former residence.
"Bring them here. Ban and I will wait for you here."
Shinsei shrugged, indicating he had no objection.
Shinsei didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and walked west. The White Snake on his shoulder flicked its tongue and pointed its head towards the northwest.
Shinsei adjusted its direction and started running at full speed.
He didn't use Thunderfire Celestial Venerable, but instead used ordinary stamina to conserve his strength.
After running a dozen steps, he looked back. Madara and Kushinadahime were still standing in the same spot.
Madara had his back to him, Kushinadahime looked at Madara's back with a complicated expression.
Shinsei smiled but didn't look at him any longer. He turned his head and quickened his pace.
The White Snake was coiled around his shoulder, its tongue flicking incessantly, guiding him.
He ran across the wasteland, across the withered forest, across the scorched land.
As darkness fell, he smelled a familiar scent— the Chakra of the Ōtsutsuki.
The Chakra pulsed in the air, like an unstable flame.
Shinsei stopped and squatted behind a boulder.
The White Snake shrank back on his shoulder, nodded at Shinsei, and disappeared in a puff of white smoke.
Ahead lay a wide-open valley. In the center of the valley, Kinshiki sat on a large Taiseki, a red ring slowly rotating behind him.
Urashiki stood beside him, fishing rod slung over his shoulder, red fishing line dangling down, the bead at the end gleaming faintly in the twilight.
Urashiki was speaking, but his voice was very soft, Shinsei couldn't hear him very clearly.
But he saw Urashiki suddenly turn his head and look in his direction.
Urashiki's lips slowly curled up.
Shinsei stood up from behind the stone. He no longer intended to hide.
He took a deep breath, and lightning surged from his body. Thunderfire Celestial Venerable.
His senses accelerated instantly, and the world seemed to slow down in his eyes.
Kinshiki stood up from the rock, looking at Shinsei's figure with slight surprise.
How dare such lowly gods on this planet be so audacious?
"Kid, are you here to die?"
Shinsei extended his finger and beckoned to Kinshiki Otsutsuki.
"Grandpa, I missed you all. I've come to see my dear grandchildren."
Kinshiki Otsutsuki was furious, and a battle axe emerged from the red ring.
Urashiki also cast his fishing rod, and the fishing line shot towards him like a live snake.
Shinsei turned to the side, and the fishing line grazed past his ribs.
He didn't stop; he turned and ran towards Takamagahara.
Shinsei was fast, but he didn't completely shake off Urashiki.
Urashiki's fishing line followed him relentlessly, like a tail that had been stuck to him.
As Shinsei ran further and further away, Kinshiki Otsutsuki looked at Urashiki Otsutsuki beside him.
"He seems to be luring us somewhere. Should we go?"
Urashiki Otsutsuki sneered.
"So what if there are traps? In the end, this world is determined by strength."
"If we were to fear such a lowly, indigenous deity, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Ōtsutsuki Clan?"
Urashiki Otsutsuki's words were deeply appreciated by Kinshiki Otsutsuki.
He nodded, a smile playing on his lips.
"Alright, let's see what surprises the lowest forms of life in this world can bring us."
After they finished speaking, their speed increased dramatically, and they rushed towards Shinsei.
Shinsei ran, he caught sight of two people chasing after him out of the corner of his eye.
A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. "Come on. Follow me. Takamagahara is waiting for you."
Who knows, I might even end up with a decent fishing rod.
With this kind of fishing rod, you won't come home empty-handed again, right?
