"Uchiha Sasuke! You are nothing more than the last vestige of the Uchiha bloodline!"
"To think you would stoop to something like this in the future!"
Danzo sighed.
At the same moment, another question surfaced in his mind: what if... what if there was a chance to return to his own time?
He had to capture Uchiha Sasuke and study him thoroughly.
A child with such limitless potential needed to be controlled.
Now!
He couldn't die just like this.
He had to find a way to survive, and then a way to return to his own world.
"I surrender, Itachi. I will cooperate with you from now on!"
Danzo raised his head, looking at Itachi.
If the other party truly intended to kill him, they most likely wouldn't have asked if he wanted to die or was willing to surrender.
That's right!
He came from the past, from a time even further back. He shouldn't be dead yet.
If he died now, the history of the world would be altered.
Thinking of this, Danzo smiled.
That's right!
He couldn't be killed right now!
Using this fact, he could accomplish many things in this world.
"Judging by your expression, I have a rough idea of what you're thinking."
"Indeed, you are a person from the past. If you were to die now, and then we sent you back, we fear it would cause a disruption in history!"
"So, we must do our best to keep you alive and then find a way to send you back to your own time!"
Saying this, Itachi paused for a moment. "However, if you act recklessly, even at the risk of changing history, we will kill you!" With this, Itachi cast a cold glance at Danzo, seemingly to emphasize his resolve.
Danzo was taken aback. Itachi didn't seem to be joking.
If he really did something excessive, this guy would genuinely kill him.
"Don't worry, this old man won't act rashly. After all, I can't even defeat you, let alone with the Hokage-sama here as well!"
Saying this, Danzo slowly stood up.
Although he said this, Danzo was already certain in his heart that once he could return, he would seize the first opportunity to control Uchiha Sasuke.
He absolutely had to!
Speaking of Sasuke...
At this moment, Sasuke, heading towards the Sound Village, was traveling with Uchiha Madara and Otsutsuki Indra.
Simultaneously, he was roughly explaining to the two of them the current era they were in.
"This era is called the new age of ninjas!"
"Peace has largely been achieved, and there is no war between the five great nations."
"The Allied Shinobi Forces have been established!"
"The five great nations have also merged into one, and through the Hokage's efforts over the years, they have continuously absorbed smaller ninja villages."
"The Allied Shinobi Forces are now divided into just five departments. Ninjas who cultivate different chakra nature transformations are assigned to specific departments!"
"In this way, the concept of distinct ninja villages can be greatly diminished."
Hearing this, Madara was very surprised.
Peace has largely been achieved?
But could such peace truly last?
Villages merging, and ninjas blurring the lines of their allegiances.
Everything merging into one sounded simple enough.
But this matter probably couldn't be completed without several hundred years.
And during this process, if any changes occurred, then the so-called peace would be... nothing but empty words.
Thinking of this, Madara chuckled.
However, Sasuke turned his head and looked at him.
"Although this plan still has many uncertainties and might even fail midway due to unforeseen circumstances!"
"But it's much better than Madara-sensei using the Infinite Tsukuyomi to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki, being deceived by Black Zetsu!"
Suddenly, Madara stopped and looked at Sasuke.
"What did you say?"
Sasuke said directly, without any hesitation, "The Infinite Tsukuyomi you know is not a jutsu to save the world at all. Its true power is to collect the chakra of all humans in the world!"
"So as to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki!"
Speaking of Kaguya Otsutsuki, Sasuke turned his head and glanced at Indra. "You should know about her, right? Kaguya Otsutsuki!"
Hearing this, Indra frowned. "Ah!"
"Father's mother was sealed on the moon by Father himself."
As expected, he knew.
After all, Indra was the son of the Sage of Six Paths, and his era wasn't too far removed from the time when Kaguya was sealed.
So even if the Sage of Six Paths didn't explicitly say it, others in that era would have told Indra.
"Kaguya Otsutsuki?"
Madara looked at Indra.
Sasuke had just explained who Indra was.
The son of the Sage of Six Paths, then the father he spoke of was the Sage of Six Paths, and his father's mother was Kaguya Otsutsuki!
"What you saw is just the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths that has been tampered with by Black Zetsu!"
"Black Zetsu is a creation of Kaguya Otsutsuki, and its sole purpose is to revive her!"
"Why? Why does Black Zetsu want to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki?"
Indra was a little curious.
"This is also what I'm going to talk about next."
"Compared to something like the Infinite Tsukuyomi, or who will inherit the Ninshu, the real crisis in this world comes from the Otsutsuki clan!"
Saying this, Sasuke glanced at the two of them.
A serious look appeared on his face.
"Your grandmother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, came to the ninja world to plant the God Tree, then destroy this world, and take the chakra fruit of the God Tree back!"
"And she chose to betray the Otsutsuki clan and ate the chakra fruit herself."
"So the problem we are facing now is that the Otsutsuki clan will send people to this world to retrieve the God Tree fruit, and at the same time deal with the traitor and the bloodline left behind by her!"
Hearing this, Madara looked incredulous.
"Where are these Otsutsuki clan you speak of?"
"They come from the starry sky!"
Starry sky?
Madara raised his head and looked at the sky.
.....
Coming from the sky?
"What you've said is certainly very exciting, but it's also quite ridiculous."
"Are you saying that there are people living in the starry sky?"
Sasuke paused for a moment. "To be precise, the Otsutsuki clan are not really considered humans. Humans are creatures of the ninja world. The Otsutsuki clan are beings more akin to descendants of gods!"
"They travel through the universe, searching for planets suitable for planting the God Tree. Once the God Tree is planted, it signifies the destruction of that planet."
"Because only by absorbing all the chakra of all living beings on that planet can the God Tree bear fruit!"
Madara looked at Sasuke, whose expression remained serious.
"Even if what you said is true, can we possibly resist this so-called Otsutsuki clan?"
"Of course. After all, I've already killed several members of the Otsutsuki clan!"
Hearing this, Madara was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Kid, according to your statement, the Otsutsuki clan is incredibly strong, even though your own aura isn't weak."
"But these are beings even the progenitor Kaguya Otsutsuki feared, and you've killed several of them?"
"You're already considered a genius to possess this level of strength at your age, but don't get too carried away."
Sasuke sighed.
"You don't believe me?"
"Uchiha Madara, do you know why you are stronger than other Uchiha?"
Hearing this, Madara was stunned for a moment.
What did this mean?
"It's not just because you awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, but because of him!"
Sasuke pointed at Indra.
"The two of us are reincarnations of Indra's chakra. In other words, we both inherently possess the most concentrated Otsutsuki power, or rather, potential!"
"That's why you are stronger than other Uchiha, and significantly so!"
