Last Time ....
But Kaguya didn't answer him. Instead, she opened the third eye on her forehead, a sharingan as red as blood. Black Zetsu suddenly screamed, and he was sucked into Kaguya's third eye as if he had been caught in a vortex.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Hagoromo couldn't understand Kaguya's actions.
-------------------------------------------------------
Naruto and Sasuke were completely bewildered, but even in their struggle, they didn't forget to watch the unfolding drama.
Kaguya gave a vague answer. "It's merely to return this thing to my body, to calm down certain entities."
"Certain entities? What are those? How are they? Mother? " Hagoromo frowned, pressing for an answer.
Kaguya, however, stopped answering and suddenly looked at Kakashi and Sakura, or rather, only at Sakura.
She said calmly, "You just said that since we're both women, I shouldn't underestimate you, right? Then, I'll look forward to seeing if you can successfully transform."
"What?" Sakura was stunned. What was Kaguya talking about? What transformation?
The next moment, Kakashi felt his hand suddenly empty. He looked down and found that Sakura had disappeared. Looking up again, he realized that Kaguya, Naruto, Sasuke, and even the Sage of Six Paths were all gone.
Apparently, Kaguya suddenly shifted dimensions at this moment, taking Naruto, Sasuke, and Hagoromo with her. She also took Sakura, but for some reason left Kakashi behind.
Kakashi quickly activated his Sharingan. Fortunately, the legacy of Obito Uchiha was still with him. He tried his best to track and sense Kaguya's location, but couldn't detect any signs whatsoever.
Kakashi tried several times without success. Looking at the vast, empty white world, he felt both worried and powerless, and angrily slammed his fist into the ground.
"Damn it!" He lost her.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Sakura and Kaguya reappeared in the real world of the ninja. Before Sakura could even adjust to her surroundings, she heard Kaguya suddenly speak.
"Infinite Tsukuyomi."
Sakura instinctively looked up and saw Kaguya's third Sharingan eye in the center of her forehead emitting a blood-red light.
Naruto shouted in alarm, "Sakura-chan, close your eyes quickly!"
Sasuke struggled in frustration, yelling at Kaguya, "Let me go!"
He then said angrily to Naruto, "What's the use of closing your eyes? Infinite Tsukuyomi can't be resisted by simply closing your eyes."
Sakura was startled and quickly closed her eyes, but it was indeed useless. She suddenly felt a sense of dizziness, and then a pulling force surrounded her, dragging her upwards into the sky.
Naruto and Sasuke struggled relentlessly, trying to help Sakura, and the Sage of Six Paths also wanted to intervene, but he felt completely restrained. He couldn't use any chakra or sage jutsu, and he looked at Kaguya in shock.
"Mother, did you do this? You're so strong? How are you so strong?"
Kaguya didn't even spare him a glance. She didn't even bother to confirm whether Sakura Haruno had completely fallen under the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and simply said to the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto, and Sasuke:
"Let's go, let's leave this world."
The Sage of Six Paths, Naruto, and Sasuke looked bewildered, but they didn't have a chance to ask any questions before they, along with Kaguya, completely disappeared.
Sakura was still struggling against the Infinite Tsukuyomi, desperately cutting down one branch of the Divine Tree after another, but ultimately she was no match for it and was wrapped in a large white cocoon, slowly being dragged up into the tree.
In her final moments of consciousness, she heard Kaguya's words and saw the disappearing Naruto and Sasuke, but she couldn't do anything, and fell into a deep dream.
In the distance, on the ravaged and desolate battlefield, the four Hokage, resurrected by Edo Tensei, looked at each other in confusion. The Sage of Six Paths' story had suddenly stopped halfway through.
(With The Hokage)
"Huh? Where did the Sage of Six Paths go? Did he suddenly achieve enlightenment? But he didn't even finish speaking!" The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, asked, looking somewhat bewildered.
The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, immediately showed a mixture of anger and exasperation. "How is that possible! Brother, the Sage of Six Paths clearly had a look of shock on his face before he disappeared! Something is obviously wrong!"
"What should we do now? Is anyone else still awake?" The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, asked, his face filled with worry.
The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was overwhelmed with anxiety and worry.
"Where is Naruto and the others? Didn't the Sage of Six Paths say he had entrusted the key to sealing Kaguya and dispelling the Infinite Tsukuyomi to Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha? But we haven't seen any sign of them. The Sage of Six Paths only talked about the past, but didn't mention the current situation on the battlefield. Where exactly are they fighting Kaguya now?"
The four Hokage exchanged glances, realizing the seriousness of the situation. They could only split up to search, but after searching for most of the day, they couldn't find a single conscious person—no Kaguya, no Sasuke, no Naruto, and no Sage of Six Paths.
After a day, everyone was losing their patience. Even Hashirama, who opposed the Edo Tensei technique, no longer objected to Tobirama's suggestion of using Edo Tensei on Madara Uchiha to find out what had happened.
There were no living people left, but the White Zetsu were still there. Although they seemed to have gone into hibernation after the world fell under the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Tobirama casually grabbed a White Zetsu and used Edo Tensei on Madara Uchiha.
Returning to the world of the living in his resurrected form, Uchiha Madara lacked his former vigor and confidence. His ideals had been proven to be nothing but a complete lie. Obito was his puppet, but he himself was Black Zetsu's puppet, and Black Zetsu was merely Kaguya's puppet—a truly pathetic and laughable situation.
Madara's unusually subdued and dejected demeanor made Hashirama feel uneasy and at a loss for how to comfort him.
Madara remained silent for a long time before asking hesitantly,
"Hashirama, was I wrong? Was I so foolish as to be deceived, believing I could create a world where there would be no more losers and lost?"
Tobirama immediately snorted. "Can someone with such a stubborn mind even admit they were wrong? I thought you would never admit your mistakes."
Madara glared darkly at Tobirama, "If you hadn't killed Izuna, I wouldn't have been manipulated by Black Zetsu."
Tobirama retorted defiantly, "We were enemies; it was either him or me."
Even after so many years, the pain of losing his brother Izuna was still a raw wound for Madara, and he suddenly felt the urge to impale Tobirama with his black rods.
The chakra pressure between the two clashed, and they glared at each other angrily. The Third Hokage and Minato watched them with some concern.
