Naruto: Kazekage 02

(Third PoV)

Madara was at a loss of words for the explanation.

"I am a dragon."

This still doesn't explain anything!

He has been observing her expressions with Sharingan. To keep Izanagi a secret, he has applied a genjutsu over his blind eye. And he thought, why not apply a genjutsu on the working eye and keep Sharingan activated?

Therefore, he was sure that Ichika wasn't lying to him. She kept a straight face throughout the conversation.

Well, he didn't know that he was talking to a puppet. If he has met her before, he might have noticed.

Even Tobirama and Hashirama didn't notice anything unusual about her, since the puppet had the same amount of chakra sealed in her when they met her.

Madara felt her story very convincing. Afterall, he always felt some kind of brothership with Hashirama.

And the story of Indra and Asura was oddly similar to his own and Hashirama's.

While there is a possibility that she might have been making this story based on them to make it believable, few people knew that Hashirama was rather an idiot-

No. Everyone knew that he was an idiot. After what he pulled in the 5 Kage meeting.

But, her knowing about Infinite Tsukuyomi proved that she knew something.

Afterall, only an Uchiha with Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan can read the last part of the Uchiha Stone tablet. And the last time someone had it, it was around 400-500 years ago. Many Mangekyo wielders have appeared before Madara and Izuna, but the information about Mangekyo Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was completely erased, likely due to some Uchihas killing their loved ones to try to awaken it.

The only information that was passed down to Madara from his father was that Mangekyo Sharingan causes blindness after intense use.

And the Divine Tree? She shouldn't know that information too.

Are the Senju and Uchiha clans really the descendants of Sage of Six Paths? Their founders being brothers?

Madara considered many things. But the thing that made him scared was three things.

First, the ancestor of all Shinobi, is sealed inside the moon. Seeing everything with her Byakugan.

Second, her son, the brother of Sage of Six Paths, might be lurking around, and he has already started the process of awakening Rinnegan, though it will take a lot of time.

He has made an excuse that he was injured a lot and used Hashirama's cells to live. But, if this information comes to light, Hashirama and Tobirama will realise that he might awaken the Rinnegan.

And lastly, there is a whole clan of people like Kaguya, with the goal of devouring planets. And they will eventually come.

Suddenly, Madara felt like he was a very small part of the world.

"Madara! Don't cause any more trouble. Let's go!"

Hashirama shouted at him, but suddenly, Madara didn't feel very right.

He staggered, and plopped down on the sofa.

And suddenly, a ghost started coming out of his body. And he had a Rinnegan.

"I am the Sage of Six Paths. Hagaromo Otsutsuki."

--------------------------

(First PoV)

I have revealed everything. Afterall, Hashirama is going to die soon. Without Hashirama, and Madara in the light, it wouldn't be good for me and my country that I plan to take over.

Afterall, I could end up as a puppet Kazekage like the Mizukage.

Maybe this will even end the 'Curse of Hatred' between Indra and Asura?

As for what will happen if there is no Naruto with Six Paths Sage Mode and Sasuke with Rinnegan, when the Otsutsukis arrive?

I will be dead by then. Who cares?

But suddenly, Madara staggered on his feet, and crashed on the sofa.

And, the ghost of Sage of Six Paths came out.

...

Hey hey hey!

Isn't it accelerating the plot too much!?

It is not butterfly effect.

It is a fucking Dragon effect!

"I am the Sage of Six Paths. Hagaromo Otsutsuki."

The ghost of Sage of Six Paths said, introducing himself to Madara, and then, turned towards us.

Tobirama, Hashirama, and finally, me.

"Umm, hi?"

I said dumbly. I know that he is a pretty chill guy, but that was to Naruto and Sasuke. The reincarnations of his sons.

And I called him dumb.

Perhaps, he has been watching the entire time?

A father possessing his son's reincarnation?

...That's pretty creepy...

"Madara, is it one of your genjutsu?"

"Shut up Tobirama! It isn't!"

Hashirama bowed to Hagoromo, so I did it too.

"Child Ichika. Do you know who the Third Son of Kaguya is?"

Lying won't work on him, will it? Madara is one thing. I am using a puppet, and I was telling him mostly the truth.

But Hagaromo must be able to see with his Rinnegan that my soul isn't here.

"Umm, actually, can you please check that no one is spying on us? Do you have some sort of sensing that can even sense intentions?"

I don't think Black Zetsu will stay here after seeing Hagaromo's ghost. But who knows about Isshiki?

"I assure you. No one is spying on us."

"Black Zetsu. It's like a, slime? Liquid? Attached to a Zetsu that you must have seen. I don't know exactly. But he is very slippery. Isn't very strong, but it will be difficult to kill or even seal him.

And umm. There is one thing..."

Should I take the risk?

"There is the Otsutsuki that came with Kaguya, still lurking around. Probably Kaguya's presence is keeping him at bay."

Madara's face turned grim.

Hashirama and Tobirama were confused.

"Umm, can you guys tell us what is happening?"

Hashirama raised his hand.

Ugh. I don't want to explain the story again.

Still, with Hashirama here, I am not feeling scared of Madara.

"Ask Madara-dono later.

Anyway, Six Paths-sama, please tell us the cure of the illness you had."

I can't afford Hashirama to die as long as Madara is alive. Who knows what he might pull once Hashirama dies?

And Kishimoto has a habit of killing OP people with Chakra illness.

Maybe the cause of Hashirama dying is him catching 8 tailed beasts, who were full of hatred towards him, and his Wood Style somehow passing on their absorbed chakra to him? Maybe he developed a chakra illness like Naruto in the novels because of it?

Hagaromo considered my question.

And suddenly, I was put under a genjutsu. In my main body that is in another dimension!

I got all the information about how Hagaromo cured his illness.

Hmm. This should be good enough.

Suddenly, I was back to the conversation, watching through my puppet body.

"I see. Your previous world-"

"Hey Gramps. Keep it secret. And what you did was rude!"

Did he really just read my memories!? In just a moment!?

I can't let the rule of reincarnation into a fictional world be broken!

"Alright. I won't tell anyone your secret. But, you should help Hashirama and Madara. The future seems dire."

"Alright. I will do what I can."

The geezer smiled at me, and then, held out his hands.

"Madara, Hashirama. Hold out your hands."

No freakin' way! They don't need any more hax!

Madara and Hashirama held out their hands, and a massive chakra flowed into them.

Hashirama's eyes gained a plus sign, and one of Madara's eyes gained a six-tomoe Rinnegan.

"I am entrusting the future of the world to you two. And please listen to Ichika's advice."

Smiling, he disappeared.

What now?

Don't tell me Isshiki is going to appear now-

No. I don't want to raise any more Red Flags...
