Naruto The Thunder Calamity

"You probably don't know this yet, do you? That Black Zetsu you created before you were sealed away—I already found it." 

Uchiha Madara folded his hands behind his back, letting out a cold scoff as he spoke to Otsutsuki Kaguya. 

Even now, just bringing up this matter made his heart ache. 

After all, there was a time when he had placed absolute trust in Black Zetsu. 

But in the end, it all led to betrayal. 

"Black Zetsu…" 

Kaguya's heart sank instantly, her gaze locking onto Madara. 

"Why are you bringing that up? Aren't you afraid the so-called 'Ancestor of Chakra' will just make another Zetsu? What, didn't learn your lesson from getting fooled?" 

Raijin grinned, taking the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. 

"And if another Zetsu were made here, so what? You think it could just waltz into the ninja world on its own?" 

Madara shot Raijin a cold glance. 

This bastard always knew how to twist the knife. 

But now wasn't the time to bicker with him. 

"Well, well! Still chatting, huh?" 

Just as Kaguya was about to speak, a sudden voice rang out.

At that moment, Madara's lips curled into a relaxed smile.

Otsutsuki Kaguya paused in surprise, looking at the newcomer.

The newcomer looked exactly like the one who had the so-called Rinne Tenseigan.

Was this... a clone? Otsutsuki Kaguya knew about clones, though the Otsutsuki clan didn't exactly have a concept like the shadow clone technique.

However, the Otsutsuki clan did have abilities similar to cloning.

But…

To be honest, Kaguya had noticed earlier that Raijin was entirely made of energy. 

She had just thought of Raijin as a being completely formed of energy.

After all, after so many years of following Otsutsuki Isshiki around planting trees, Kaguya had seen her fair share of things.

She had seen life forms made entirely of energy.

Moreover, this clone was carrying such immense power.

Such strength wasn't something just anyone in the Otsutsuki clan could pull off.

And yet, in this wild, undeveloped land... but now, after realizing it, Kaguya understood.

She had been deceived.

The reason that Uchiha Madara was willing to talk so much was just to buy time, right?

And the reason for buying time…

To make such a powerful enemy delay and use their main body to deal with the problem… 

It had to be the so-called Otsutsuki Isshiki who hired them! Truly… a cunning and devious descendant!

Countless fists began to form behind Otsutsuki Kaguya, invisible to the naked eye, and in the next moment, they fiercely charged at Raijin and Madara.

Facing such an attack, both Raijin and Madara couldn't help but laugh.

This kind of technique, honestly, was strong. Whether it was Raijin or Madara, if they were hit while unprepared, they would be injured.

But the key was being unprepared.

The technique's speed wasn't too fast—Flying Thunder God had no delay.

However, the preparation for casting a technique could be deadly.

Without warning, both Madara and Raijin disappeared from their original spots.

The range of the Eighty Gods Air Strike was quite wide.

But what about behind Otsutsuki Kaguya?

The staff in her hand quietly transformed into a spear.

"Shhh!"

With a soft sound, the tip of the spear pierced through Kaguya's back and protruded from her chest.

Her brow furrowed slightly as Otsutsuki Kaguya looked at the spear tip sticking out from her chest, but she didn't seem to care much.

How did the fruit of the God Tree taste? It was truly amazing! The nine Tomoe Rinne Sharingan on her forehead slowly opened, and invisible power instantly spread throughout her body.

In the next moment, the familiar icy world appeared before Raijin again.

But Raijin and Madara exchanged a glance, and Madara also activated the Heaven's Command.

At that moment, Otsutsuki Kaguya felt her control over the world instantly drop by half.

Raijin, on the other hand, was surrounded by brilliant purple-golden flames.

With Futsunomitama casually waving a blade of light, Raijin grinned at Otsutsuki Kaguya, and his body turned into a bolt of lightning, speeding towards her!

Otsutsuki Kaguya, seeing this, almost instantly reacted.

Her long hair, reaching her waist, grew even longer and quickly shot toward Raijin's acupoints, aided by the Byakugan's ability to see through.

Rabbit Hair Needles! But Raijin didn't pay any attention to Otsutsuki Kaguya's hair.

"Ding!"

A light sound rang out, and Raijin's target wasn't Otsutsuki Kaguya, but rather the half of the domain she controlled.

Futsunomitama easily pierced through the impenetrable ice layer.

"Shh!"

The next moment, a large amount of lightning spread through the icy world along with Futsunomitama.

How could Raijin really be helpless against the Heaven's Command? In this world, there was nothing that couldn't be shattered.

Even space-time powers, even an entire world.

Before the extreme thunder, everything would be completely destroyed!

At this moment, countless Rabbit Hair Needles were already closing in on Raijin's body.

But just then, a large number of pitch-black Truth-Seeking Balls appeared around Raijin.

Raijin was surrounded by layers of defense, inside and out.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

The constant sound of metal clashing echoed, but no matter what, this layer of defense couldn't be completely broken.

Raijin was never fighting alone!

Uchiha Madara, though a bit foolish, had far more battle experience than Uchiha Raijin.

Besides, Raijin had a Shadow Clone watching the battlefield at all times! At this moment, Otsutsuki Kaguya was starting to struggle.

Otsutsuki Kaguya could clearly feel that the space she was in was carrying powers it wasn't meant to bear! But now, it was almost impossible to undo this technique.

If she tried to cut it off now, she would immediately suffer backlash from the technique!

A large amount of chakra was pouring out from the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan, but the power of lightning grew even faster.

At this time, Uchiha Madara and Raijin's Shadow Clone were no longer watching from the sidelines.

Raijin's Shadow Clone, holding the Kusanagi Sword, transformed into lightning, using Raijin's favorite technique—Super Electromagnetic Cannon! Uchiha Madara, holding the Six Paths Scepter, casually threw a few Truth-Seeking Balls at Otsutsuki Kaguya.

There was no need to put too much pressure on Otsutsuki Kaguya.

As long as they could distract her, that was enough.

Sure enough, facing the distractions from Raijin's Shadow Clone and Madara, Otsutsuki Kaguya was struggling to keep up.

"Crack!"

This led to Otsutsuki Kaguya falling into an almost irrecoverable disadvantage in her struggle with Raijin.

Finally, a crisp sound echoed, and a crack appeared under Otsutsuki Kaguya's feet in the ice layer. 

The crack spread quickly, as if a game piece had been toppled, growing larger by the second. In an instant, it covered the entire half of the ice and snow world controlled by Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Even the sky cracked, with lines appearing across it.

The next moment, Madara exerted force, and the cracks in the ice and snow world on Otsutsuki Kaguya's side immediately began to heal.

Was Madara helping Otsutsuki Kaguya? Of course not. That was clear from the blood tears slowly flowing from the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan on Otsutsuki Kaguya's forehead.

This move... Otsutsuki Kaguya must have been in a lot of pain~

And at that moment, the ownership of this ice and snow world was completely decided by Uchiha Madara.

Was it over?

Of course not.

Honestly, at the level of strength these warriors had, who didn't have some time-space ninjutsu skills? Raijin's Shadow Clone quickly formed hand seals, then slapped the ice layer with both hands.

A large number of golden symbols instantly spread throughout the entire ice and snow world.

~~ 

Senjutsu: Time-Sealing Seal!

At that moment, for this world, no one could enter or leave, thanks to time-space ninjutsu.

How strong was it? After using the technique, Raijin's Shadow Clone, which had nearly 80% of his energy, vanished!

"Ha!" Raijin slowly stood up, one hand on his forehead, letting out a long breath.

Taking advantage of the moment when Uchiha Madara was pressing the attack, Raijin shook his head, easing the sudden fatigue that had risen in his mind.

So tired! Whether it was blasting Otsutsuki Kaguya's sky with lightning or the time-sealing technique used by his Shadow Clone.

The mental strain had been fully felt by Raijin at this moment.

After a moment of focus, Raijin quickly performed hand seals with one hand, and the seal on his forehead was lifted. A large amount of Senjutsu chakra rushed into Raijin's body.

This helped relieve Raijin's mental fatigue.

To describe the difference between chakra and Senjutsu chakra:

The more chakra you use, the more exhausted you get.

But Senjutsu chakra? The more you use, the more energized you feel.

"This still isn't enough to kill her..." Madara tilted his head slightly, floating in mid-air, watching Otsutsuki Kaguya stumble and fall to the ground, looking a bit troubled.

"How about leaving it to me?" Raijin's figure quietly appeared next to Madara.

"You have a way?"

Madara turned his head to look at Uchiha Raijin.

"What do you mean?"

Raijin snorted lightly, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.

"You think I got this Tenseigan for no reason?" 

As Raijin disappeared, his voice lingered in Madara's ears.

"Hey! Try to get some information out of her!"

Madara quickly shouted at Raijin.

"Stop worrying. Otsutsuki Isshiki knows much more than Otsutsuki Kaguya."

With that, Raijin jumped onto Otsutsuki Kaguya, one hand gripping her neck.

Suddenly, a strange mental shift occurred, and Raijin hesitated in his actions.

Is this... the leftover chakra of the Rikudou Sennin?

What a strange feeling...

But... who cares about that?

Senjutsu chakra surged, and the strange feeling vanished instantly.

However, Raijin didn't kill Otsutsuki Kaguya immediately. Instead, he chopped off one of her arms and sealed it with sand iron.

As for the rest, Raijin only used the power of lightning to temporarily paralyze Otsutsuki Kaguya's body, waiting for feedback from Madara.

During this close encounter with Otsutsuki Kaguya, Raijin had to divide his attention and communicate with the Rikudou Sennin.

Raijin didn't want to die.

He hadn't eaten the God Tree's fruit and didn't have immortality.

Soon, Madara's voice echoed.

"Uchiha Raijin, I'm passing a message from the Rikudou Sennin. The sage asks that, for his sake, you don't actually kill Otsutsuki Kaguya. 

If it's to prevent her from being released by others with ill intentions, sealing her in Konohagakure is acceptable."

How should I say this? The message from Madara sounded serious, but his tone was far from it.

Really... Madara, you've changed. Your image is ruined!

"Rikudou Sennin, I don't know if you can hear me, but about your suggestion, I'm afraid I can't accept it."

Raijin didn't feel like arguing with Uchiha Madara. After a moment of silence, he spoke to the sky.

"I admit, without the ninja way you founded, there would be no Uchiha Raijin, and no Uchiha Madara. Out of respect for you, and logically, we shouldn't do this to your mother.

But now, this isn't just about your mother. Otsutsuki Kaguya, and the Otsutsuki Isshiki from the Shinobi World, they belong to a very powerful family.

They enslave countless planets. To survive, we descendants must use every resource available to us.

I'm sorry. I hope you understand."

With that, Raijin didn't care whether the Rikudou Sennin agreed or not. If he disagreed, they could just fight.

Seriously, calling him Rikudou Sennin out of respect, but if he doesn't return the favor, how many times can Otsutsuki Hagoromo use his Chibaku Tensei? Raijin thought to himself as the ghost-like technique activated, merging Raijin's body with Otsutsuki Kaguya's.

"Hiss~"

The intense pain made Raijin gasp.

It felt exactly like when he absorbed the giant Tenseigan.

Honestly, the improved Ghost Technique by Senju Tobirama had one good thing about it.

There were no limits. He could use it anytime, as many times as he wanted, as long as his body could handle it.

After all, the Ghost Technique only absorbs, not digests.

Why was it so convenient? Because, besides the technique being improved, the energy driving it had switched from regular chakra to Senjutsu chakra.

"Whoo~"

Standing up, Raijin instinctively touched the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan on his forehead.

A look of disgust appeared on his face.

Honestly, it's kind of ugly.

And it doesn't match the seal for Yin Sealing at all.

It's just ugly.

"Got the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan and you're still not happy?"

Madara, hands behind his back, approached Raijin and teased him.

"It's too ugly..."
