Afternoon.
"Thump!"
"The Three-Tails you wanted." World Number One Hashirama pointed to the Big Turtle entangled by the Wood Dragon.
Don't underestimate that it has become smaller and weaker; the Wood Release's restraint against Tailed Beasts hasn't diminished at all, making capturing the Three-Tails a piece of cake.
Lin Ke nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Hashirama."
"Heh heh heh~" World Number One Hashirama laughed with his hands on his hips, his expression looking very pleased, "This time, I finally won."
He and his other self had bet on who would catch the Three-Tails first; he failed last time, but this time he finally won.
"It's just one to one." World Number Two's adult Hashirama said without thinking, "Later we will..."
"Brother!" Senju Tobirama's voice rose eight degrees, calling both the older and younger 'brothers' over, and then seriously and solemnly explained the matter of Old Madara.
"How is it possible, Madara he..." X2 Both Hashiramas didn't believe it at first, but they quickly accepted the fact and completely obeyed Tobirama's arrangements.
Lin Ke first had Sasuke watch over the captured Three-Tails, and according to the plan, went to reincarnate World Number Two Hashirama first.
Anyway, for the 'Hashiramas', reincarnation doesn't affect their strength too much; the sooner they reincarnate, the sooner they grow up.
After World Number Two Hashirama reincarnated, he looked about fourteen or fifteen years old. According to him, he retained almost eighty percent of his power.
Tracking Uchiha Madara wasn't a problem; after all, he was familiar with the Chakra of Old Madara in World Number Two, and activating the Boat Crossing Technique to chase after him wasn't difficult.
The only problem was deciding when to organize a team to go and catch him.
That was the problem that Senju Tobirama needed to solve.
Lin Ke didn't have time to pay attention to the Three-Tails for the time being, and took Utakata back to the Main World using the Boat Crossing Technique. He began to farm Hermit Purple. After trying for a few days and finally getting it, he immediately tapped Uchiha Madara, no matter which version, and as expected, he couldn't tap anything out.
He felt a little relieved.
Then, his heart suddenly thumped, and he instinctively tapped Black Zetsu once.
Blank.
Blank?! Lin Ke felt a chill run down his spine and spread to his head. He flashed through photos of Jiraiya in his mind, and both Jiraiyas were stained with shadows.
Wasn't the danger coming from the two Black Zetsus?
[Black Zetsu, ran to World Number Two?!] He knew why Old Madara acted so decisively and quickly activated the Boat Crossing Technique to leave.
So someone brought Black Zetsu over there.
This was really troublesome.
Lin Ke looked at the Hermit Purple vines in his hand, which were getting thicker as he continued to use and develop them, and a very strong premonition arose in his heart.
[Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, might jump out ahead of schedule]—The Sage of Six Paths was not omniscient and omnipotent.
This was a very subtle misunderstanding.
In fact, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura didn't know that they were sealing their own mother until they sealed her into the moon; they only thought they were sealing the Divine Tree.
The original Ōtsutsuki Kaguya ate the Divine Tree Fruit, pacified the chaotic world, and then pulled out the Divine Tree to bloom, dragging the people of the entire planet into the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Then, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura believed that the humans who had fallen into the Infinite Tsukuyomi and were linked to the roots of the Divine Tree were very miserable, so they [repaid the sins left by their mother] by capturing the Ten-Tails and sealing it in their bodies, becoming stronger, and defeating and sealing the Divine Tree.
But these two people simply didn't know one thing:
The Divine Tree was Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
To put it bluntly, these two sons of the Ōtsutsuki were very sympathetic to humans after their mother released the Infinite Tsukuyomi. In order to solve the Divine Tree, they directly sealed the Divine Tree's incarnation, the Ten-Tails, into their bodies.
It should be known that the outer shell of the Ten-Tails, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, is actually a bud of the Divine Tree. The Ten-Tails is equivalent to a bud hanging on the Divine Tree that has been injected with a large amount of Chakra to form a monster.
This is also why extracting the Chakra of the Ten-Tails can turn it into nine Tailed Beasts. In essence, it is still the power of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
What she meant by [retrieving the Chakra scattered on her two sons] actually referred to the sealed and scattered Ten-Tails Chakra.
Ōtsutsuki Hamura and Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo were equal to sealing a part of their mother in their bodies, which is why they possessed the power to defeat and seal the Divine Tree.
How could Ōtsutsuki Kaguya not be angry? It was simply sealing her own mother, rebellious sons! That's why there was the furious Divine Tree, but no matter how angry she was, she couldn't change the fact that she had become too weak after losing the Ten-Tails. In the end, she was confusedly sealed by her two sons.
The Sage of Six Paths giving Naruto and Sasuke power was only to prevent Uchiha Madara from releasing the Divine Tree and forming a new Chakra fruit. He had no idea that the one who would be resurrected would be Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who had been missing for who knows how many years.
Black Zetsu knew everything clearly, and even knew that the reincarnations of Indra and Asura would see the Sage of Six Paths after possessing enough power.
Because it was Black Zetsu who instigated Indra, who had failed to inherit Ninshu, to fight with Asura. It was also Black Zetsu who modified the Uchiha Stone Tablet, single-handedly shaping the intertwined fate of the Senju and Uchiha.
The main purpose was to allow the Chakra of Indra and Asura to converge, giving birth to the Rinnegan, as the first step in resurrecting Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
The Rinnegan is a very precious thing. It is the power of the Sage of Six Paths. Black Zetsu tried many times, but it did not reappear in the reincarnations. In many years of disguise and instigation, it must have heard the reincarnations mention seeing the Sage of Six Paths more than once, until Uchiha Madara successfully awakened the Rinnegan for the first time.
Therefore, there is a fact in the Naruto World that goes against the first impression, that is, the Sage of Six Paths is neither omniscient nor omnipotent, and is not a mastermind behind the scenes. It is not that he is too lazy to care about many things, but that he is powerless.
Passing down the power is only out of concern for the sealed Divine Tree, to prevent someone in the future from being able to make the Divine Tree bloom with a new Chakra fruit again.
This old man is equal to treating himself as the world's insurance, choosing to stay in the Pure Land, endlessly waiting for a crisis to appear in the future to pass on his power.
The Sage of Six Paths would pass on his power to the reincarnation of Asura every time, until the Fourth Shinobi World War in the manga, when he decided to hand it over to two people.
However, it was not out of trust in the reincarnation of Indra, but trust that Naruto would change everything.
Until Sasuke wanted to start a revolution, he was about to leave the mortal world, and he still had nothing to say to Sasuke, only entrusting everything to Naruto.
Therefore, Lin Ke did not expect the Sage of Six Paths to jump out and say that he would come to help.
The Sage of Six Paths neither knows the whereabouts of his mother, nor does he know of the existence of Black Zetsu, and he would never use the power reserved for the revival of the Divine Tree in advance. He is just a pure friendly NPC.
He does know a way to lure out the Ōtsutsuki old man, just tell the story of Black Zetsu.
But in that case, Lin Ke felt that the secret of him being a transmigrator would definitely not be kept. He couldn't even withstand Uchiha Itachi's Genjutsu. Sasuke with a single Rinnegan could control the nine Tailed Beasts into idiots with one glance. How strong the Sage of Six Paths, who didn't pass down his power, could be, anyone could guess with their ass.
He had never considered before that he, who had solved Uchiha Madara in advance and obtained a Rinnegan, would need to worry about Ōtsutsuki Kaguya suddenly resurrecting.
However, Black Zetsu from World Number One ran away with a large amount of information at some unknown time, and even directly caused Old Madara from World Number Two to disappear.
Lin Ke knew that the resurrection of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was probably unavoidable.
[Prepare the final plan, and then try to catch Madara back. If that doesn't work...]
