"I object!"
To fight for his big brother's rights, Izuna spoke up without hesitation.
"What are you objecting to? Is it that you don't want my brother to become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, or do you think the method itself is flawed?"
Izuna glanced at Tobirama, who was smirking mischievously, and calmly replied, "I object to Hashirama becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki."
"And what's your reason? Don't tell me it's because you want Madara to be the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki instead?"
"Yes."
"Damn, you actually admitted that with no shame?"
"Why wouldn't I? What's there to be ashamed of? Why can Hashirama become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, but not my brother? Don't forget, in the original timeline, it was my brother who became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, not Hashirama."
"And that's why he got his heart ripped out by Black Zetsu in the end."
"You bastard! I'm talking about the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, not Black Zetsu!"
"Alright, I won't bring up Black Zetsu… But your brother did become Kaguya's vessel in the end."
"Son of a— Senju Tobirama, you're clearly picking a fight!"
Izuna was both angry and helpless.
Angry that the sneaky white-haired guy kept bringing up his brother's downfall.
Helpless because… his brother really did lose in the end.
Izuna: Big bro, why did you go down so easily in the end?
Madara: Hell if I know. I didn't want to either.
"Alright, alright, let's not rush the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki discussion for now."
Seeing Izuna and Tobirama getting heated, Hashirama quickly stepped in to smooth things over—worried that Madara might go after his little brother later.
"I'm fine with it. Izuna's just a little too eager, that's all."
"What do you mean I was too hasty?"
"Isn't it true? I hadn't even finished speaking, and you jumped up to oppose me."
"…Fine, then go on."
Tobirama glanced at Hashirama, and after getting a confirming nod, he finally spoke:
"In order to deal with enemies that may appear in the future, becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki is necessary. But who said there can only be one Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki?"
Upon hearing this, Madara, who had been silent until now, had a thought and said, "You mean, we could use Tailed Beasts from other timelines or dimensions to make ourselves the second Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki?"
"Uh…"
Well, that idea definitely aligned with Madara's usual domineering way of thinking.
Any possible resistance from people of other timelines clearly didn't bother him.
But that wasn't actually what Tobirama meant.
"That's just one possible method. What I really want to say is—
we could split the Ten-Tails into Yin and Yang halves, and have you and Big Brother each become a Jinchuriki."
"Split it in two? Is that even possible?"
Tobirama didn't answer directly. Instead, he turned to Mito and asked, "Sister-in-law, the Fourth Hokage was able to split the Nine-Tails into Yin and Yang. There's no reason it can't be done with the Ten-Tails too, right?"
Even Mito hadn't expected this was Tobirama's plan.
As a master of sealing techniques, she honestly hadn't considered this kind of problem before.
And besides—how could the Ten-Tails be the same as the Nine-Tails?
Just because it worked with the Nine-Tails doesn't mean it'll work with the Ten-Tails.
"That would depend on how reliable the Dead Demon Consuming Seal is. If the Shinigami can handle the Ten-Tails, then it's possible. If not, then no—it wouldn't work. I've never tried it before, so I honestly don't know."
"I see… then let's find an opportunity to test it out."
"I think it's feasible."
With the current strength of Konoha, gathering all nine Tailed Beasts would be incredibly easy.
If the other villages aren't willing, then just lock the door and release Uchiha Madara.
"Wait, I oppose this!"
Just when everyone thought the matter of the Ten Tails was settled, the Nine-Tails inside Mito wasn't having it.
It had been sealed inside Mito, and though it had lost its freedom, it still retained its self-awareness.
If it became part of the Ten Tails, it wouldn't just lose its freedom, it would also lose its self-awareness.
So, when it came to the Ten Tails, it was adamantly opposed.
"Opposition is useless. My husband and the Ten Tails are a perfect match, a marriage made in heaven. Who are you, a stinky fox, to oppose?"
"Are you all trying to kill me? And I'm not even allowed to oppose it?"
"That's a valid point. You can oppose it, but your opinion doesn't matter."
Nine-Tails: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
[Time passed, over a thousand years. During the Fourth Great Ninja War, after Uchiha Madara activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Black Zetsu quietly snuck up behind Madara while he was talking with Naruto, Sasuke, and others. Black Zetsu then had a heartfelt interaction with Madara and pierced through Madara's body, which was now the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki.]
[At this moment, a high density of chakra erupted from underground. This chakra was gradually absorbed by Madara's body, causing his body to swell tremendously from the excess chakra absorption. Eventually, he transformed into the appearance of Kaguya.]
[Kaguya, newly revived, started passionately making out with the two friends, stating that this land was for her to harvest as she pleased. There was nothing to discuss with people who didn't understand the true meaning of chakra and only knew how to mess around with it.]
[This speech demonstrated the queen's regal aura and flashy energy, like a hardcore gamer with all the premium soft currency gear.]
[Kaguya planned to drain the Team 7 members who hadn't been affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and then, without warning, took them into the Lava Space.]
[Black Zetsu, that lump of auntie's blood, naturally returned to its creator, Kaguya's side.]
[As Naruto and Sasuke teamed up to fight Kaguya, Kakashi, who was struggling alone, did his best to protect Sakura and Obito.]
[Meanwhile, Kaguya, having just been revived, didn't have much of a desire to fight. She used Amenominaka to slip behind Naruto and Sasuke, eyes filled with tears as she gazed at them with deep affection, reminiscing about her sons, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura.]
"Ugh~ With Kaguya acting like this, why do I feel like the Sage of Six Paths brothers are the real villains?"
On the screen, Kaguya gently stroked Naruto and Sasuke's cheeks, with tears of sorrow flowing from her eyes.
To those who didn't know the situation, Kaguya looked like a mother whose heart had been broken by her own children.
"Yes, if it weren't for seeing Kaguya's actions in ancient times earlier, I'd almost believe she's just a mother of a friend."
In the Third Hokage's timeline, everyone had complex feelings toward Kaguya.
If it weren't for Kaguya's insistence on destroying humanity, they might have been able to get along.
But, unfortunately, as humans, they could never agree to Kaguya turning all humans into White Zetsu.
They were naturally in opposition to each other.
"Jiraiya, don't tell me you've fallen back into your old habits. Just because Kaguya's beautiful, you—"
"Tsunade, don't slander me. You know I've always liked you."
Jiraiya quickly waved his hand to interrupt Tsunade. If she kept saying that, he'd truly be seen as someone who betrayed humanity for beauty.
"Tch~ You say that so smoothly."
Seeing Tsunade quiet down, Jiraiya secretly sighed in relief.
But he forgot about Orochimaru's presence.
As a troublemaker, Orochimaru would never let go of an opportunity to stir things up.
