"I'm hungry from fighting so much." Kurama stood in front of Kaguya, baring his teeth. "Kaguya, have you eaten?".
Kaguya stared blankly at the fox, wondering what he was up to again, and didn't say a word.
Wooden dragons grew from the earth. Hashirama, who had just been hammered away, rubbed the back of his head and popped out: "Now that you mention it, I'm a little hungry too. I didn't notice until Kurama said it.".
The giant Susanoo wielded a long sword, hacking at Kaguya, as Madara said, "Before, you were in an Edo Tensei body, so you couldn't feel hunger. Now that you're fully revived, it's not strange to feel hungry.".
Hashirama suddenly understood: "So, that's how it is.".
He had died for too long and hadn't eaten, so he had forgotten.
After speaking, he looked at the sky. The sunlight was already going down. Although it wasn't evening yet, it was already afternoon: "Speaking of which, this battle has been going on for so long. When did we start?".
"This morning, maybe?" Kurama couldn't quite remember either. "From the Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron until now, when that jerk Orochimaru summoned the other Jinchuriki, I've been fighting these guys ever since.".
From Jinchuriki to Orochimaru, from Orochimaru to Madara, then from Madara to Orochimaru-version-Kaguya, then Madara-version-Kaguya, and finally Kaguya herself, it was amazing he hadn't starved to death. I guess being a Chakra cluster is convenient.
Madara turned his head to look at Kurama: "Chakra can get hungry?".
"After seeing the light, who wants to go back to the darkness... besides, eating is the fourth greatest human instinct!". Kurama bared his teeth and charged towards Madara.
"Oh." Madara coldly replied with this one word. "But are you human?".
"Uh..." Kurama was speechless.
Next to them, Hashirama scratched his head again like a fool: "Hey... am I the only one curious about what the so-called four human instincts are?".
Madara's eyes twitched.
Right now, he really wanted to give Hashirama a Byakugan.
But hearing Hashirama's question, Kurama got excited. His eyes lit up, and he started to explain: "The so-called four human instincts are sex, slacking, eating, and 'it smells good', and the reason why sex is ranked first is because... Sex is humanity's primary driving force!".
Madara clenched his fists: "No one cares...".
"Amazing!". Hashirama's eyes were full of little stars. "Kurama, you really understand humans.".
Madara: "…".
Madara couldn't roll his Byakugan. He had to maintain his image. His face was already painted with all sorts of things, so his face was definitely gone, but he had to maintain his aloof image, so he couldn't roll his Byakugan.
He took a deep breath. After so many years, this was the first time he regretted not being from the Hyuga clan.
Far away, Kaguya looked at the three people, her expression as usual: "What are you planning to do again?".
When these three guys start chatting, it's definitely not just talking about something. There must be a reason.
She's got persecution complex, that's what.
Kurama spread his hands: "How can you say that? We were just hungry, so we said it. There's no dark plan waiting for you.".
"Do I look like I believe that?" Kaguya directly asked back.
"Whether you believe it or not, that's just how it is." Kurama chuckled and tossed out a huge Limbo clone. "You're pretty good, though. You stopped as soon as you saw us talking.".
Kaguya frowned slightly and dodged the attack.
She wasn't good; it was subconscious.
Whether from Orochimaru's memories or Madara's memories, it was a tradition for ninja battles to start chatting when they were fighting. She was also slightly influenced by the fighting consciousness of these two people. During the technical pause between the two sides, her mind would start to quickly think about the next way to fight.
This is the Hokage tradition.
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique." A fire dragon flew out of Kaguya's hand, roaring as it charged towards Kurama. "If our battle continues to be so evenly matched, it's not impossible to fight like this for two months like we used to...".
"It's not evenly matched~." Kurama dodged the fire dragon, and a Truth-Seeking Ball turned into a long sword in his hand. "I don't know about you, but don't forget that we also have a trump card against you. Naruto and Sasuke aren't here. Do you think the battle will still be evenly matched when they arrive?".
Kaguya was silent.
The situation on the field right now was indeed 50-50. Kaguya could suppress Kurama before, but since Hashirama and Madara joined, the battle situation started to approach 50-50. If they fought like this, it wouldn't be strange to fight for two months.
Kaguya didn't need to eat, and Kurama didn't need to either. Hashirama and Madara, who were now revived, did need to eat.
But once Naruto and Sasuke, these two Ootsuki-level people, entered the fight, the situation would definitely become Kaguya being suppressed, and these two people also had the 'Yin-Yang Power', which was a big advantage. Kaguya didn't have any trump cards...
Wait, if that's the case, then does that mean I can only wait to be sealed?
Kaguya started to feel that something was wrong.
Were there any other ways to break the situation?
Yes, there were.
The reason why it was so difficult was because not only were there Naruto and Sasuke, but there were also Nine Tails, Hashirama, and Madara on the scene. Each of them had the strength of a Six Paths level. The reason why it was difficult was because there were five of them. If... if she could kill these three people before Naruto and Sasuke arrived, then facing Naruto and Sasuke alone would be the same as before, facing Hagoromo and Hamura at the same time.
She lost once thousands of years ago, but now Kaguya had enough confidence that she wouldn't lose a second time.
So, the main point was that she must kill these three people before those two troublesome guys, Naruto and Sasuke, arrive!
Kaguya thought it through, and her eyes changed from being expressionless to being cold.
Seeing this scene, Kurama raised the corner of his mouth: "Yo, your eyes have become sharp. What are you going to do?".
"Continuing this endless entanglement is meaningless, right?" Kaguya's figure slowly rose, and her eye power and Chakra increased dramatically at this moment. She looked coldly at the three people in front of her.
Hashirama's expression also became serious: "Indeed.".
"Are you going to decide the winner..." Madara raised the corner of his mouth, and the Sharingan in his eyes spun wildly.
In the next moment, an intense burst of Chakra came from Kaguya's body. The sky seemed to dim at this moment, and the powerful force suppressed the entire world into silence.
"You want to use a big move? We'll have to see if I agree!" Kurama tightly gripped the Truth-Seeking Ball long sword. White and black Chakra gathered on the twin swords.
This was the first time that two people had unleashed such a huge amount of Chakra since the battle had reached a stalemate. Even Hashirama and Madara next to them were a little surprised.
Kaguya raised her hands high, and the scarlet Rinne Sharingan on her forehead opened. A small black ball flew out from her hands. Along with the surge of Chakra, the small ball began to expand violently. Before everyone could even react, the black ball had expanded to a size comparable to Kurama's body.
"Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball!" Kurama's expression also changed slightly. He looked at the Rasengan in his hands, and his expression became slightly more serious. "This thing is not easy to deal with...".
The nature of the Truth-Seeking Ball determined its indestructible property. Apart from space-time ninjutsu, it seemed that there was no known ninjutsu in the ninja world that could directly destroy the existence of the Truth-Seeking Ball, and the Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball... was a ninjutsu used by the Ootsuki clan to destroy the world.
Let's put it this way, with just this one attack, none of Kaguya's six spaces would be able to withstand it.
"But your current state shouldn't be able to use an attack that can destroy the entire ninja world, right..." Kurama murmured softly, and the black and white Chakra in his hands was constantly gathering, making the two Rasengan bigger than Kurama himself.
Even if it's hard to take it! I have to take it!
Kaguya looked down, her eyes without joy or sorrow: "It's not enough to destroy the entire ninja world, but it's enough to destroy the three of you.".
"You underestimate us too much." Kurama retorted, grinning, "Want to try?".
The wind... seemed to stop suddenly. There was no sound in the entire sky. Violent Chakra occupied the two sides of the sky, just like meteorites falling from the sky. Even just looking at them would give rise to despair.
In the silence, someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva. It was clearly just a light sound, but it was like the roar of a starting gun, breaking the delicate balance in the silence.
The two sides stopped gathering Chakra at the same time. Kaguya proudly raised her chin, like a proud swan, looking down at the ants on the ground...
"Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball!".
Kurama gritted his teeth and threw the Rasengan in both hands at the same time...
"Six Paths Senjutsu: Ashura Rotating Truth-Seeking Balls!".
Madara had previously used Yomotsu Hirasaka to solve this move, but now, in order to condense the Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball, Kaguya didn't have any hands to transfer this move.
Then let's try it. Which is stronger, the Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball or the Ashura Rotating Truth-Seeking Balls!
One black and one white two huge Truth-Seeking Balls flew out. A single one was three times larger than Kurama's body. The power of this attack definitely far exceeded the one used by Naruto in the Naruto-Sasuke battle in the original story. In this ninja world, apart from Kaguya, Naruto, and Sasuke, absolutely no one could take it head-on at this stage.
"Hashirama! Madara! Go down and protect the others!" Kurama put his hands together, and the Truth-Seeking Balls condensed into a shield. He was preparing to face the impact of these two moves head-on, for the sake of what was to come...
In fact, Kurama didn't need to remind them at all. Madara and Hashirama had already flown down the moment these two moves were launched. Hashirama was controlling the Truth-Seeking Balls that he hadn't used from the beginning of the battle to turn into a surging tide, while Madara directly wrapped a layer of Susanoo on the outside.
I hope they can withstand it...
Light... spread.
Apart from light, there seemed to be nothing else.
The sky was a white blaze, and the earth was covered in light. Everything turned into nothingness the moment it came into contact with the light.
The Susanoo's defense was very strong, but the light was even stronger.
The defense of the Truth-Seeking Balls was also not weak, but the power generated by the Expanding Truth-Seeking Ball and the Ashura Rotating Truth-Seeking Balls had exceeded the limit of the defense of the Truth-Seeking Balls. This technique from the Ootsuki clan was finally shattered by the Ootsuki's attack.
Hashirama and Madara's expressions changed. Could this attack directly erase them?
But just one second before Tobirama and Minato activated Flying Thunder God, a cyan figure suddenly appeared, turning into a dome to wrap everyone.
Almost at the same time, the light passed through the cyan figure, passed through everyone below, and clearly felt the powerful force of the light, but was unable to harm themselves in any way, as if they were in another space-time at this moment.
Everyone was shocked.
In the next moment, a slightly decadent figure appeared from the void. Those pair of scarlet eyes stared at everyone.
He sighed softly, feeling a little fortunate, and with some apology: "Sorry, I spent some time catching up with Obito and Rin. I hope I'm not too late?".
Scarlet Mangekyo Sharingan whirled, reflecting that pair of Kakashi's slightly tired... but relieved face.
"I... am here.".
