For the people on the moon, neither Madara Uchiha nor Hashirama Senju paid them any mind.
They watched as Ōtsutsuki Kaguya relentlessly "fell" toward the shinobi world, and the two quickly began their pursuit.
Before long, the three successfully returned to the ground.
Madara and Hashirama looked around and noticed the area was filled with rocks and scattered hills.
They immediately guessed this was the land of the Country of Earth.
As for Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, likely because she had just escaped confinement, she didn't launch an attack on Madara and Hashirama right away.
Instead, she spread her arms and closed her eyes, carefully sensing something.
After about ten seconds, Kaguya felt she had gathered enough. She opened her eyes and looked softly at Madara and Hashirama, saying, "Originally, since you saved me, I should give you a generous reward, but alas, I am not in control of myself. I hope you won't blame me."
With that, without waiting for Madara and Hashirama to react, Kaguya unleashed the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack at them.
Faced with the attack, Madara and Hashirama showed no intention to dodge.
Standing together, the four Truthseeker Orbs suddenly opened, forming an absolute defense in front of them.
"Tsk, this Kaguya Ōtsutsuki looks even weaker than the one we faced last time."
During the defense, Madara used the Truthseeker Orbs to sense the power of the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack and shook his head with disdain.
"The Kaguya from the Fifth Hokage's timeline at least absorbed a large amount of chakra through Infinite Tsukuyomi. This Kaguya hasn't absorbed any chakra, so having this much attack strength is actually pretty good."
If the Six Paths were a measure of power level, then this Kaguya from the Third Hokage's timeline who absorbed no chakra would be at the lowest tier of the Six Paths.
Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, relying on their own strength plus extensive battle experience, could be considered mid to high level Six Paths. At most, they could reach high Six Paths.
In the timeline of the Fifth Hokage, Naruto and Sasuke, once they fully mastered the power of Yin and Yang, would likely reach the level of the current Six Paths Madara and Six Paths Hashirama.
"Truth-Seeking Orbs? Who are you?"
Seeing the two opponents use Truth-Seeking Orbs for defense, Otsutsuki Kaguya instinctively felt something was wrong.
She had just emerged from the moon, fully focused on returning to the Ninja World, so she hadn't paid much attention to Madara and Hashirama.
Besides, these two had been hiding their Truth-Seeking Orbs carefully, so Kaguya hadn't noticed them before.
Now, seeing the Truth-Seeking Orbs, her first thought was that these two were sent by her clan to capture her.
The thought of being captured and taken back to her clan filled Kaguya's heart with a deep fear.
"No, I absolutely cannot be taken back."
She tried to use Amenominaka to escape to another dimension and avoid them.
But weakened as she was, she didn't even have the strength to activate Amenominaka.
At that moment, despair began to engulf Kaguya.
Looking at Kaguya's despairing face, Hashirama said with some curiosity, "She looks really scared, doesn't she?"
Madara snorted and replied, "Why worry about that? Let's just beat her first."
"Agreed."
Hashirama nodded, and the two began their attack on Kaguya.
Kaguya couldn't use space-time techniques, but she could still use her other abilities.
Though their power was much weaker than usual, they were still strong enough to threaten anyone below the Six Paths level.
Unfortunately for her, she was facing two opponents even stronger than her current self.
No matter what tactics she used, Madara and Hashirama always managed to evade or defend successfully.
The outcome of the battle had actually been decided from the very beginning.
It was just that Kaguya was unwilling to accept defeat and was desperately trying to resist.
The fight between Madara, Hashirama, and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was still quite fierce.
Naturally, their battle attracted the attention of the ninja from Iwagakure, who came to investigate.
At that moment in Iwagakure, the Tsuchikage Onoki was glaring angrily at an ANBU ninja before him.
"You're saying two shinobi from other villages are fighting a woman dressed in white outside Iwagakure?"
"Yes, Tsuchikage-sama."
Smack
Onoki slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "Kitsuchi, gather the troops and come with me. I want to see which village's shinobi dares to cause trouble in our Land of Earth."
"Yes, Father."
"How many times have I told you? Address me by my title when on duty."
"Y-Yes, Tsuchikage-sama."
Soon, Kitsuchi gathered fifteen jonin and brought along his daughter Kurotsuchi, following Onoki as they headed toward the battle area discovered by the ANBU.
Meanwhile, the fight between Madara, Hashirama, and Kaguya was nearing its end.
Even the weakened version of Kaguya from the Fifth Hokage's Timeline was no match for the two, so this crippled version in front of them was even easier to defeat.
Under their righteous fists and feet, Kaguya was steadily driven back.
Right at that moment, Third Hokage's Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique, arriving with Fifth Hokage's Naruto, Sasuke, and Black Zetsu, which gave Kaguya a slight pause.
"Mother."
The moment Black Zetsu saw Kaguya, it went completely numb.
In its eyes, Mother was an invincible being.
Even though she had just been released from her seal and was in a weakened state from not absorbing the chakra of the ninja world, she was still unbeatable.
But now...
In an instant, Black Zetsu understood.
If they wanted Mother to survive, the only way was to try their best to persuade her to join Konoha.
"Are we too late?"
Standing beside Madara and Hashirama, Fifth Hokage's Naruto scratched his head, sounding a little regretful.
Hashirama laughed heartily, returned the Sword of Ninja Love to Minato, then pulled Naruto and Sasuke into a hug, saying, "No, you've arrived just in time."
Fifth Hokage's Sasuke pointed at Kaguya, who looked a bit bruised and battered, and said, "She should have been defeated by you all, right?"
"Probably."
"Then do you still need us?"
"Don't say that. Your arrival is still very useful."
Hashirama poked Madara to say something.
Madara glanced coldly at Hashirama and said to Naruto and Sasuke, "Your arrival is exactly the final straw to break the camel's back. It will play a big role in persuading Kaguya to surrender."
"Is that so? Then I understand."
While Hashirama and Madara were talking to Naruto and Sasuke, Black Zetsu was also trying to persuade Kaguya.
"Mother, you've seen their strength. We can't win against them. Should we consider joining them?"
Kaguya was very tempted by Black Zetsu's proposal.
She had just escaped from the seal, and now she was about to face being sealed again. She would never allow that to happen.
But Kaguya still felt a bit uncomfortable about siding with the native shinobi of the ninja world.
Seeing that Kaguya didn't reject his words, Black Zetsu quickly continued, "When I came here, they told me that the people sent by your clan to capture you, they can help you resist."
"Is what you say true?"
What Kaguya feared most was the pursuers sent by her clan.
Just thinking about the terrifying punishments from her family made her shiver all over.
"If they really can help me deal with those sent by my clan, then I agree to join them."
"Alright, Mother, I will go and talk to them first."
With Black Zetsu as the bridge of communication, the talks between both sides went smoothly.
Before long, Otsutsuki Kaguya stood beside Madara, ready to leave together with them.
Just as Minato was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, Onoki arrived at the scene with the Iwa shinobi.
