[Mei Terumi: Now I finally understand how the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were crippled back then. With power like that, even all the elites of our Hidden Mist Village wouldn't survive a single punch from him.]
[Fuguki Suikazan: Now you understand the value of the fact that we managed to survive Mighty Guy back then.]
[Raiga Kurosuki: Exactly, exactly.]
[Jinpachi Munashi: Even though we died, anyone would be stunned by that kind of power. By the way, what was the name of that old guy who tried to compare himself to Might Guy earlier?]
[Kushimaru Kuriarare: Shinno.]
[Jinpachi Munashi: Right, that old fossil. Now that you've seen the power of the Eight Gates fully opened, where did you get the nerve to compare yourself to him!]
[Shinno: …]
Damn… with that kind of power… was the Eight Gates I trained actually fake?
[Deidara: Whew… Luckily in that world, Mighty Guy wasn't in the village when our leader invaded Konoha. Otherwise the Six Paths of Pain would've all died.]
[Nagato Uzumaki: That's true. At the time my body was already in terrible condition. Even though the Six Paths are puppets, if they had taken a heavy hit from Mighty Guy, my lifespan would probably have been reduced considerably.]
[Konan: Fortunately Tsunade transferred their team away.]
[Tsunade: …]
Damn it… so I unknowingly sent away our ultimate trump card.
[Naruto Uzumaki: Bushy-brow Sensei is so strong!]
[Asuma Sarutobi: Guy, I never expected you to be Konoha's strongest shinobi.]
[Genma Shiranui: Day after day of training… Guy, you really are incredible.]
The shinobi of Konoha all began to admire Might Guy.
[Sakumo Hatake: Although he exceeded expectations, it seems Guy really did become one of the strongest in the shinobi world.]
[Kakashi Hatake: Father is right. Guy, you've truly surpassed me. But… Guy, after using that technique, you…]
[Might Guy: Hehe, what are you saying, Kakashi? This is when my youth burns at its brightest! Only this kind of youth will never fade, and it will never leave me with regrets.]
[Kakashi Hatake: …Yes. Guy, your youth has never faded.]
Although he said that, emotions were not so easily suppressed.
[Neji Hyuga: Guy-sensei…]
Seeing his own death on the screen, Neji had already prepared himself, so he wasn't overwhelmed with grief. But seeing his teacher die… he couldn't accept it.
[Tenten: How could this happen? Waaa…]
[Rock Lee: Guy-sensei! Waaa…]
First Neji, and then Guy-sensei.
Even though it was another world, seeing this scene caused Rock Lee to nearly break down.
[The screen continues…]
Six Paths Naruto returns and heals Guy, who opened the Gate of Death.
Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke vs. Six Paths Madara.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi is activated.
Black Zetsu makes his move and pierces Madara from behind.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki descends.
Team Seven vs. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei — Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is sealed.
Naruto and Sasuke — Final Battle at the Valley of the End.
The Seal of Reconciliation.
[The white screen ends]
[Kushina Uzumaki: Hehe, I didn't expect our Naruto to reach the Six Paths level too. That's wonderful.]
[Mikoto Uchiha: The same goes for our Sasuke.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Hehe, Sasuke, see that? In the future we're that strong!]
[Sasuke Uchiha: Shut up, idiot Naruto. Haven't you realized? That world is about to face a huge disaster.]
[Naruto Uzumaki: Huh?]
Indeed.
Although Kaguya had been sealed, the shinobi of the world did not breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, they were confused and stunned.
[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Wait… Kaguya was sealed just like that? Where's the intelligence about the Ōtsutsuki Clan?]
[Ōnoki: Good grief. So after the war ended, that world's us still basically knew nothing about the Ōtsutsuki Clan.]
[Kakashi Hatake: This is troublesome. Everyone in that world probably believes Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was the final enemy.]
[Shikaku Nara: Sigh… prosperity breeds complacency, adversity breeds vigilance. That world is going to run into trouble.]
[Madara Uchiha: Incredible. After the war, you people still failed to obtain any information about the Ōtsutsuki Clan. You just listened to the Sage of Six Paths and called it a day.]
In war, the most important things are intelligence and resources.
Without intelligence, it was like crossing a river by feeling for stones.
Actually… it was worse.
They didn't even know the Ōtsutsuki Clan was going to descend upon the world.
[Jiraiya: It should be fine, right? After all, Naruto is the Child of Prophecy.]
[Orochimaru: Indeed. You, the so-called grandson of prophecy, will always believe in your "father."]
[Tsunade: Hmph. Still a childish fool.]
[Jiraiya: Why are you all saying that? You've seen the Great Toad Sage. He even taught the Sage of Six Paths.]
[Orochimaru: Jiraiya, don't forget. Nagi already warned the Great Toad Sage. Do you really think your Great Toad Sage would dare to contradict him?]
[Jiraiya: I…]
[Gamamaru: Don't drag me into this. I never said anything.]
[Jiraiya: …]
[Madara Uchiha: But Black Zetsu… hahaha. You've lived for a thousand years and yet your brain is completely rotten. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is indeed powerful, but her combat awareness and battle experience are terribly lacking.]
[Hashirama Senju: That's true. After absorbing the God Tree and awakening both Rinnegan, Madara's strength alone already surpassed Naruto and Sasuke individually. If the battle had continued, the outcome would still have been uncertain.]
[Tobirama Senju: Exactly. Naruto and Sasuke may be on Madara's level in terms of power, but when it comes to combat awareness and experience, those two brats can't compare to Madara.]
[Izuna Uchiha: Who told that pitch-black thing to sneak-attack my brother? Surprised now, aren't you? Your mother barely knows how to fight and lost miserably. Serves you right.]
[Black Zetsu: …]
Damn… that actually makes sense.
If Madara had defeated Naruto and Sasuke first, I could have just stabbed him afterward.
Besides… I didn't expect Mother's combat instincts to be this poor.
[Kaguya Ōtsutsuki: …]
Is my battle awareness really that bad?
[The red screen lights up]
Gaara delivers a pre-war declaration, and the great ninja villages begin accepting and integrating shinobi from one another.
The Allied Shinobi Forces' morale rises sharply.
Soon after, Darui, Kitsuchi, Kakashi, Gaara, and Mifune lead their respective divisions toward their designated battlefronts.
Meanwhile, Obito orders the White Zetsu army to travel underground and launch surprise attacks on the Allied Forces.
However, they are discovered by Hyuga Tokuma from the surveillance unit.
At the same time, Black Zetsu notices this unit as well.
He then controls several Reanimated Shinobi to pursue them:
Reanimated Hanzo of the SalamanderReanimated Mangetsu HozukiReanimated Chiyo's former bodyguard Chūkichi (etc.)
At this moment, Kankuro is leading the Surprise Attack Division while riding atop a bird drawn by Sai.
Suddenly, Karin senses something while standing on the bird's back.
"About ten kilometers ahead, I detect four faint chakra signatures. Behind them are several strange chakra signals. It looks like someone is chasing them."
Sai frowned slightly.
"At this location, they're most likely enemies. Sai, increase the speed."
"Yes."
