"The Rabbit Goddess, huh..."
In the legends, this goddess intended to destroy the Ninja World, and it was the Sage of Six Paths who defeated her, saving everything and creating the Ninja World.
Now the Sage of Six Paths was gone, but an existence as terrifying as the Rabbit Goddess had appeared again.
What were they going to do?
"That kid with the Rinnegan, could he be...?"
Just as everyone was looking solemn, even Takemi, feeling awkward, was playing along.
Hashirama asked curiously, but Tobirama shook his head disdainfully and said, "Forget it, that Rinnegan kid is our enemy, and that kid was beaten by Takemi..."
Tobirama paused mid-sentence, his gaze fixed on Takemi.
Not just him, everyone present couldn't help but look over.
Takemi's beating of Nagato was consistently effective.
It was like that three years ago, and even more so three years later.
No matter how Nagato struggled, even with the Rinnegan, he was still no match for him.
And Takemi's talent was evident. Everyone knew how absurdly talented he was.
"Could it be that Takemi is the most crucial one?"
Hashirama couldn't help but speak, and these words immediately made everyone nod, Jiraiya even sighing.
"No wonder Takemi didn't even go to Mount Myōboku, and even disliked the toads so much, yet the Great Toad Sage was willing to help him with all his might. So he 'saw' it, huh."
"And Takemi's talent is unique. Whether it's Dust Release or Wood Release, he can control them with ease."
Kakashi also said, and Guy nodded along.
"His will is also exceptionally firm. No matter how arduous or difficult the training, he can persevere and complete it."
"And despite such achievements, he still doesn't forget his original intention..."
Hiruzen sighed, summarizing, "Takemi is indeed unique, and he is the most likely to be able to deal with that Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki."
Although they had this idea for a long time, and everyone was well aware of it, saying it out loud like this was a first.
After all, Takemi's combat record was simply too terrifying.
Even Naruto and Sasuke nodded at this moment. Although Takemi was overly excessive, he actually seemed like a really good person.
And no matter how you looked at it, he seemed to be the only hope...
Only Takemi himself felt awkward.
Was 'I beat myself' going to be thoroughly 'projected'?
"Um, can we not talk about this?" Takemi pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Did your piece of tree bark write anything else?"
"Also, it advises Asura to face Indra with a peaceful mindset, so as to achieve peace."
Although Tsunade still felt emotional, she immediately refocused when this question came up.
"As for the rest, I can't see it. It's probably like Sasuke and Kakashi, my strength isn't enough."
"That's why we need Edo Tensei, to find a way to restore us." Tobirama glanced at his elder brother and spoke.
"Not just to see more information, but also to be able to do something in the future, because the enemy is too terrifying."
"Tch." Hashirama snorted softly.
This time he didn't refute, but Takemi stroked his chin and said, "It only said for your ancestor to face Indra with a peaceful mindset? It didn't say anything else?"
"No."
"Then does that mean it was still Asura's jealousy of Indra that led to the war? Otherwise, why would the Sage of Six Paths advise Asura and not Indra?"
"..."
"Besides, Indra's was a stone tablet, while Asura's was a broken piece of tree bark. Isn't that a kind of favoritism?"
"Hiss."
Everyone present fell silent, especially the three Senju, who exchanged glances. Could it be explained this way?
But on second thought, it really could.
For a moment, Tobirama regretted it. He regretted digging this thing out. He regretted why his strength was insufficient and why he couldn't tear this brat's mouth off.
Sasuke, meanwhile, showed a faint smile, but at this moment, Takemi spoke again, "Also, I have an idea for Edo Tensei, summon Sasuke's parents."
"Huh?"
Sasuke was stunned for a moment, and Tobirama's fists clenched harder, but Takemi didn't care.
"Sasuke killed Itachi, and he should report to the spirits of the deceased. Besides, this can also be considered a home visit, and I have some things I need to discuss with Sasuke's parents."
Speaking of this, Takemi's gaze swept over Sasuke, a smile on his lips.
"After all, restoring the Uchiha's glory is Sasuke's inescapable duty."
At this moment, Sasuke's face instantly darkened. He finally knew what this bastard was going to do.
But at this moment, Takemi suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes subtly strange.
Meanwhile, within Konoha, at the Hyuga clan compound, Obito had already gathered his people.
"You all already know about this operation."
Obito looked up at the moonlit sky and spoke calmly.
"I need you all to cause a big disturbance. Only then can we attract Takemi, and you don't need to worry about life and death, you are all Edo Tensei."
"Tch, to do it this way."
Sasori shook his head but didn't care, though Kakuzu was somewhat displeased.
"Even if it's Edo Tensei, facing him won't be easy, right?"
"I don't mind, after all, I'm quite willing to do something to the Hyuga clan."
Raiga looked at the distant Hyuga clan compound, a smile on his lips, and even Jūzō nodded.
"The Hyuga are a main force in battles against the Kirigakure, and I heard they have a very good relationship with the Kaguya clan."
"Another battle?"
Itachi gently shook his head. This was not a situation he wished to face.
"Alright, enough idle chatter."
Obito glanced at Black Zetsu beside him, and seeing him nod, he took a deep breath.
"Begin the operation. This is our crucial opportunity."
After saying this, Obito's figure quietly disappeared. He still had to find the Senju's relic.
However, his gaze couldn't help but turn towards the moon. He felt that the moonlight tonight was off.
And on the other side, a monk-like figure also looked up, his gaze fixed on the bright moon in the sky.
Then he closed his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly opened them again.
"Not far from here, although it's somewhat different from before, it seems to be a better vessel than Jigen..."
