Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History...

The treatment at the extra-level is really great; they don't have to get up early in the morning to train or carry out missions with their mentors and other high-ranking ninjas.

Youyue slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky, only to be pulled back to reality by a message popping up in the group chat.

"Someone summoned me?"

Yu Yue jolted awake, all sleepiness gone, and her fingers flew across the chat interface.

Hashirama Senju: "@Yuzuki Shinomiya, Yuzuki, there's new information from Madara's side."

Madara Uchiha: "New developments? What's going on? How come I didn't know about this?"

Hashirama Senju: "...Ahem, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about Madara in our world."

Madara Uchiha: "Alright, Hashirama, come visit me sometime. I've rebuilt the ninja world; if you come, you'll be in for a big surprise."

Hashirama Senju: "Haha, I will. I'll go over when I have time."

Shinomiya Yuuki: "Hashirama, call me if you have anything good to share!"

Hashirama Senju: "Yuzuki, you're here just in time. Here's what happened: Madara sent me a message this morning saying that Black Zetsu has finally shown his face."

"Not long ago, Madara finished learning the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques from the Land of Whirlpools, and then deliberately showed his face in the ninja world, only to discover that a shadow was secretly following him."

"It's almost certainly that Black Zetsu guy."

"Madara plans to use the Reverse Four Symbols Seal to lock Black Zetsu away forever. Once this technique is used, the sealed person will never be able to escape; there is no way to break free."

Madara's idea was that without Black Zetsu, Kaguya would never be able to reappear, killing two birds with one stone and completely eliminating the threat.

Shinomiya Yuuki: "The plan sounds good, so what do you think?"

Hashirama Senju: "As for me... I'm actually a little reluctant. I remember you said before that Kaguya did that in order to fight against other Otsutsuki clan members in the future."

"But those aliens aren't just after Kaguya; they want the Divine Tree. The Divine Tree will drain the energy of the entire planet, and wouldn't we, the inhabitants of the ninja world, be doomed?"

"In that case, Kaguya's goal aligns with ours; sealing her off means we've essentially lost a combatant."

"So I'd really like to hear your opinion, Yuzuki: should we keep her as an ally to fight the aliens together, or seal her away completely?"

Shinomiya Yuuki: "Heh, Hashirama, you already had a plan in mind, didn't you? You just asked me to get my approval, didn't you?"

Hashirama Senju: "Sigh... I couldn't hide it from you after all, it really is true."

Shinomiya Yuuki: "Isn't this an obvious choice? Now that you've asked, of course I'd say keep Kaguya. It's like getting a high-level combatant for free, what a great deal!"

Hashirama Senju: "Alright, I'll go back to Madara then."

Yuzuki smiled, "Who said Hashirama is stupid? This guy is quite shrewd."

He had already made up his mind, but he still went through the motions of asking Youyue in the group chat.

This means that as the group leader, Youyue needs to be consulted on matters big and small, which is essentially treating him as a core figure and showing him respect.

There's really no need for that. Youyue never treats her group members as subordinates, but rather as her best buddies.

Between friends, there's no need to worry about reporting or not reporting.

Six Paths Obito: "@Uchiha Obito, when are you going to return my Truth-Seeking Balls?"

"It takes a very long time to condense this thing."

Obito Uchiha: "What? I have to return it? Didn't I trade it for the photo?"

Six Paths Obito: "...You're using the reward you promised me to exchange for what I have?"

"Who taught you to do accounts like that?"

Obito Uchiha: "Hey, we're practically family. Since you can create your own, just give me this one."

"I didn't intend to take it; I just forgot to turn off the auto-pickup feature."

Six Paths Obito: "..."

..........................................

---------Year Two of Konoha---------

Chu mi ah!

Black Zetsu felt like he had never run so fast in his life.

Be brave, my friend.

What should I do if Madara Uchiha is bombarding me with Susanoo?

Waiting online, very anxious.

Bang bang bang!

The giant Susanoo spread its wings and slashed through the sky, holding a giant blade. Mountains were cleaved in two like paper in front of it, and the earth cracked beneath its feet!

One slash after another slammed into the ground, the deafening roar echoing throughout the world!

Madara Uchiha stood in the space above Susanoo's forehead, his furious gaze seemingly able to pierce through everything and reach the heart.

He drove Susanoo, chasing Black Zetsu like a madman.

"Lord Madara! What are you doing?!"

"I am the embodiment of your will!"

On the ground, Black Jue was terrified and screamed repeatedly.

A gleaming golden chain was wrapped around his body, with the other end reaching Susanoo to the heavens.

This prevented him from using his mayfly technique to escape deep underground, forcing him to crawl thinly on the surface, unable to escape Ban's attack no matter what.

Madara remained silent, gripping the scroll, silently maintaining the sealing technique, Vajra Seal, gradually closing the distance between himself and Black Zetsu.

This thing was obtained from the chieftain of the Land of Whirlpools; it's a disposable item.

If it weren't for the fact that only those of the Vortex Clan bloodline could learn this technique, he himself would have been tempted; it's just too useful.

Ten minutes ago...

On a small island not far from the Land of Whirlpools.

Black Zetsu, the most filial son in the ninja world, slowly emerged from the soil.

"This is where Madara last appeared..." Black Zetsu muttered to himself as he looked around.

He had altered the Uchiha clan's stone tablet, and he had been waiting for this moment.

He knew that once Madara saw the stone tablet, he would part ways with Konoha and embark on the path of the Eye of the Moon Plan.

So he patiently waited for Ban, intending to give him a lesson in ideology.

He was very skilled at this kind of work; that's how he persuaded Indra, which ultimately led to the two brothers becoming bitter enemies and never speaking to each other again.

It's a pity that Indra was a useless brat who never awakened the Rinnegan before he died.

At that time, he didn't understand that the prerequisite for the appearance of the Rinnegan was the fusion of the powers of both parties, and he wasted his time.

Black Zetsu immediately took action and began searching for Madara's whereabouts on the island.

"Only the combined power of Ashura and Indra can give birth to the Rinnegan. With the Rinnegan, one can summon the Gedo Mazo. With the Gedo Mazo, one can reunite the tailed beasts and revive the Ten-Tails."

"We need to get Madara to go and fight Hashirama Senju right away and steal his chakra."
