"It's over."
Black Zetsu watched all of this, feeling his scalp tingle. He felt what despair was now. He resurrected Madara and prompted Madara to obtain the Ten-Tails, with the purpose of having Madara cooperate with the current group to deal with Takeshiki.
At the very least, Takeshiki could not be allowed to get the Ten-Tails. This was crucial for his future summoning of his mother.
As for whether Madara would act recklessly, he was confident he could control him, even though he didn't have much energy left.
But Takeshiki's combat power had already exceeded the scope of his cognition. Going on like this would only lead to a dead end.
'What should I do, what on earth should I do?'
Boom!
As he pondered, the golden light flashed once again, and a violent roar suddenly erupted. Hashirama leaped high and finally crashed to the ground.
"Hashirama!"
Madara, who had already rushed to the Ten-Tails' side, stopped in his tracks. He turned his head in shock to look at everything behind him, and he was instantly horrified.
This time, it was resolved even faster?
Did this mean that Takeshiki was just playing around?
"You should hurry up."
However, just as Madara was filled with grief and indignation, Takeshiki's voice leisurely rang out.
"I hope you can give me some real fun before my senpais are resurrected."
"You..."
An indescribable humiliation surfaced in Madara's heart, but he seemed to realize that Takeshiki didn't care about him.
His gaze fell upon the battered and even deeply trembling Ten-Tails. Finally, he gritted his teeth and placed his hand on it.
"Big brother, he saw us."
In the dimensional space, Hamura shook his head, somewhat troubled.
"And those three children are already at the brink of death. If you don't move now, then..."
"Sigh, these young people nowadays."
Hagoromo's face was full of bitterness. He could see Takemi's intentions, but this made him a little depressed.
"But don't talk about being at the brink of death. He left the power of Yang Release on those three children. That power will ensure they don't die."
"Then what will you choose?"
"It's time to show up, otherwise, this child Takemi will truly get angry."
With the plan disrupted to such an extent, Hagoromo felt a bit powerless, but showing up at this moment wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
At least, he could try to explain, right?
"And this time, when I show up, I shouldn't just see these few children. Everyone who died in battle should have a chance."
"..."
Hamura was stunned when he heard this.
He seemed to understand his older brother's actions, but there were some things he didn't know if he should say.
His big brother showing up now probably wouldn't be a good thing, would it?
Since Hagoromo had decided to act, he naturally wouldn't delay. Moreover, Takemi had already issued an 'ultimatum', and who knew if Takemi would become even more displeased if things continued like this.
"Sigh, I shouldn't have come so quickly."
Hagoromo had a bitter taste in his mouth. Sometimes, he thought to himself that he would have been better off not seeing any of this. At least, he wouldn't have personally witnessed himself being misunderstood by the entire Ninja World.
"Why are people's hearts so restless?"
He couldn't help but sigh, but he also wondered if he had truly thought this way back then. Otherwise, Takemi wouldn't be thinking in this direction now. Even Tobirama speculated similarly, and in doing so, made the entire Ninja World believe it.
"Big brother, let's deal with the important matters first."
Hamura prompted him, a suppressed smile still on his lips.
"The Ninja World needs a backbone now, and besides Takemi, you are the best choice. Moreover, Takemi's identity hasn't been revealed yet, so…"
"How he acts will depend on the subsequent situation."
Hagoromo shook his head, his Chakra spreading out continuously at this moment, seemingly covering the entire Ninja World in the blink of an eye.
"But for now, it seems he intends to completely eliminate those three Ōtsutsuki. So, whatever we do, we must cooperate with him."
"Mm."
Hamura nodded, but there were some things he couldn't quite say. In the current situation, it seemed they couldn't stop Takemi from doing whatever he wanted, could they?
And as he pondered, his older brother beside him suddenly transformed into a streak of light and vanished from his sight. It was then that he suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, don't go out looking like that!"
But unfortunately, he realized his words were too slow, his older brother had already left.
"Oh no, if he goes out like that, I'm afraid the misunderstanding will only grow larger."
Hamura felt a headache coming on. His older brother's current appearance was indistinguishable from Takemi's true form.
This meant one thing, his older brother was not hiding the fact that he was an Ōtsutsuki.
"Naruto! Sasuke!"
"Big brother."
On that battlefield, which resembled hell, Minato and Tobirama, dragging their half-shattered bodies, arrived at the spot where the three had fallen.
Looking at the three barely clinging to life, their eyes were bloodshot, and pain and anger continuously coalesced within them. Their peripheral vision involuntarily lifted to the figure floating in the sky, an anger and hatred beyond words. And besides these emotions, there also seemed to be a faint hint of despair, as if no matter what they did, they couldn't win. But such emotions quickly dissipated, transforming instead into an even more resolute belief in defeating the powerful enemy.
"Naruto… Sasuke…"
"First Hokage-sama…"
It wasn't just them, the Allied Shinobi Forces in the distance naturally saw everything clearly. That ultimate power, which had seemingly playfully defeated the combined efforts of the three Hokage and Madara.
Although Takeshiki seemed to have gotten slightly serious, the result was that Naruto, Sasuke, and the First Hokage were all beaten to a dying state in the blink of an eye.
"Can we really defeat an enemy like that?"
Similar rhetorical questions echoed continuously within the Allied Shinobi Forces, and that kind of extreme despair slowly rose in everyone's hearts.
"Damn it, are we really going to be destroyed by such a person?"
"Is there really no way to win?"
Under the spread of such desperate emotions, the morale of the Allied Shinobi Forces began to suffer a huge blow.
"Sasuke, Naruto…"
Even Kakashi's expression turned grim at this moment, while Guy, Jiraiya, and Tsunade remained silent.
And Orochimaru even broke out in a cold sweat, such terrifying power was something he had never imagined.
"Everyone, don't panic, we haven't lost yet!"
Just then, Kakashi suddenly shouted loudly, his gaze seeming to become resolute at this moment.
"Takemi is still here. As long as he successfully deals with those guys, there will definitely be a turning point. Are we all just going to give up like this?"
"That's right, we still have Takemi!"
Jiraiya also clenched his fists at this moment, following up with a loud declaration.
"Pull yourselves together and do what you can. We just need to stall until Takemi finishes dealing with the enemy."
"That's right, we absolutely cannot give up."
Mei immediately spoke, and even Deidara seemed much more serious now.
"The thought of being destroyed by such a guy makes me extremely unhappy. I'd rather, as Takemi said, use him to prove my art."
"I will absolutely not retreat."
Gaara also flew in the air, his eyes filled with determination.
"Even if it means death, I am willing to buy some time for Takemi. The Ninja World will absolutely not compromise."
As each of the Kage and powerful Jonin spoke, the morale of the Allied Shinobi Forces slowly stabilized.
Moreover, everyone's gaze at this moment began to turn firm and resolute, because they all thought of one thing.
If their homes couldn't be protected, then they would surely die. Rather than suffering like that, they might as well fight these Ōtsutsuki. Even if it was just to buy some time for the Fifth Hokage Takemi, even if they didn't know if this Fifth Hokage would have a plan later, they would spare no effort.
"If our homes are gone, what's the point of talking about anything else?"
"Damn it, let's fight them!"
