Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Black Zetsu's body trembled slightly, knowing that he probably wouldn't be able to escape this time.

"What...what do you want?" Black Zetsu managed to squeeze out a voice, trying to hide his inner panic.

Madara gave a cold laugh, his voice as icy as the wind: "You betrayed me, used me, and even tried to control the entire ninja world. Did you think I would let you off so easily?"

Black Zetsu's heart tightened. "Madara, it's not what you think. Everything I did was to save Mother, and that would also fulfill your ideal—creating a world without war!"

Madara remained unmoved, the light of his Rinnegan growing even more intense: "Stop making excuses. Your actions have far exceeded my tolerance. Do you think I'd believe your lies?"

Black Zetsu looked at Madara's resolute expression and knew that no amount of explanation would help, and felt a sense of despair.

Mother, I'm sorry, I may have to leave you before you do.

Although he had already given up in his heart, Black Zetsu still planned to put up a fight.

However, Madara reacted even faster. His Rinnegan activated instantly, and Black Zetsu felt a powerful force binding him tightly, rendering him immobile, his heart filled with resentment.

Ban snorted coldly, "Next, I'll deal with you properly."

After saying that, he looked in the direction where Hinata Yu and Kaguya had been, but the place was now deserted.

The two seemed to have been transported to another space in a special way.

"Are you worried about us interfering?"

Madara had a vague idea, so he looked away and wanted to leave with Black Zetsu.

But then Hashirama Senju suddenly appeared beside him, shook his head at Madara, looked up at the sky, and said, "Look."

Ban sensed something was wrong, frowned, and looked up at the sky.

The moon, shattered in two, each resembled a Sharingan eye—it was none other than the nameless Tsukuyomi!

"Oh?" Madara narrowed his eyes. "I see. So, next up is the Eight Thousand Spears, isn't it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the marks of eight thousand spears landed on them. The two did not resist and were pulled into the sea of ​​consciousness.

People from all over the ninja world were gradually drawn into this place, and even ninjas who were affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi but had not lost their spirit orbs entered this place one after another.

As more and more people were drawn into this mysterious space, the scene gradually became chaotic and noisy.

The ninjas gathered from all directions. Some had just been freed from the Infinite Tsukuyomi and were still somewhat dazed; others remained alert, observing their surroundings with wary expressions.

"What's going on?"

"This seems to be the ability of an Akatsuki member. What are they planning to do now?" A ninja from Kumogakure frowned, his tone full of vigilance.

"It looks like some kind of illusionary space, but not entirely," a Konoha ninja analyzed. "I think I just saw the Hokage."

"The Hokage is here too?" another ninja exclaimed in surprise. "Then we need to hurry and meet up with her."

Meanwhile, the ninjas who had just been freed from the Infinite Tsukuyomi were whispering among themselves.

"Didn't I just become Hokage?" A young ninja scratched his head sheepishly.

"Become Hokage? You? You must be dreaming!" the older ninja next to him sneered.

"You can't say that. You still have to have dreams, right?" The other ninja shook his head. "But now is not the time to daydream."

Just as everyone was discussing this, a figure suddenly descended from the sky, landing steadily in front of the crowd. It was Uchiha Madara, who looked around with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Uchiha Madara!" Someone recognized him, their voice filled with shock and fear. "What do you want with us here? Is this an Akatsuki conspiracy?"

"Calm down. Madara Uchiha was recruited by the Land of Snow and is now standing with the First Hokage. It shouldn't be him."

Ban's forehead creased with annoyance upon hearing the crowd's discussion.

What do you mean by being recruited by the Land of Snow? I'm not like Tobirama Senju; I didn't join that Hyuga brat's faction!

Tsunade saw Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju standing not far away. She frowned slightly and stepped forward to ask, "Grandfather, what's going on?"

Previously, it was reported that Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage were together. At that time, although they were in Edo Tensei bodies, they did not appear to be controlled by anyone.

If it really was Madara Uchiha who did it, my grandfather would have stopped him. So, could it be...?

"Look up."

Hashirama Senju nodded slightly to Tsunade, then looked up ahead, and Tsunade followed suit, shifting her gaze in his direction.

Ahead, a magnificent and radiant giant tree stands in the center.

Two figures stood on the tree, facing each other.

"Hyuga Yu? Kaguya Otsutsuki?"

Tsunade suddenly realized.

So it seems like one of them did it? But why involve so many people?

……

"Kaguya, do you consider yourself mentally strong?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Kaguya felt a blur before her eyes and found herself in the mental space; her expression turned serious.

Because it wasn't what she had imagined; she thought there would only be the two of them on this battlefield, but that wasn't the case.

Many people in the ninja world, for reasons unknown, were also drawn in by Hyuga Yu.

Moreover, the giant tree beneath her feet, though clearly just a chakra aggregate, gave her an ominous premonition.

Seeing that Kaguya was only staring intently at him, Hyuga Yu smiled slightly.

"We have no reason to fight, after all, I am not the 'one style' you mentioned. Moreover, to me, keeping you alive is more valuable."

Kaguya scoffed, "Say those things after you defeat me! Not using Chibaku Tensei to seal me was your biggest mistake!"

As her ominous premonition grew stronger, Kaguya could no longer wait and decisively took action.

"Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball!"

A huge black sphere rapidly expanded in front of Kaguya, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

This sphere contains the power of the Six Paths, Kaguya's most powerful attack method. It is a power that can devour the Five Elements and Yin and Yang, returning the world to nothingness!

She wanted to destroy this mental space that made her feel extremely uncomfortable!

Around the black sphere, space began to distort, as if even light could not escape its gravity.

"Everyone be careful!" Hashirama Senju immediately reacted and loudly warned the surrounding ninjas.

With his perception, he quickly sensed the power of the expanding Seeking Truth Orb. Any target directly hit by it would be instantly annihilated, leaving not even a trace.

The crowd naturally trusted his judgment and retreated, trying to increase the distance between themselves and Kaguya.

However, such an action is obviously meaningless against a technique that can destroy space itself.

Hashirama Senju couldn't help but look at Hyuga Yu.

Since the other party dared to bring Kaguya here, they must have some trump card up their sleeve.

Hinata Yu looked at Kaguya calmly, concentrating the power of all three eyes into the Rinnegan. At the cost of the Rinnegan, he resonated with the giant tree beneath his feet and activated a genjutsu.

"May you rest in eternal peace!"
