Naruto: I Confronted the Five Kage Before the System Arrived

Chapter 286: Only Hagoromo Gengetsu Can Deal with Hagoromo Gengetsu

Hagoromo Gengetsu, restricted by Tsukuyomi, also possesses memories of his past life and is naturally aware of the developments in the Naruto world. He initially believed that his arrival had already changed everything in the shinobi world.

Now, it seems those previous memories were more like a dream.

Like the backdrop of a story.

It's likely that his true self-awareness began at the moment the real Hagoromo Gengetsu arrived.

Everyone dreams of crossing into another world and becoming the protagonist of a story.

But who would want to cross into a world restricted by Tsukuyomi and become a false protagonist?

"Hagoromo Gengetsu" shares the same personality as the real Hagoromo Gengetsu.

After a brief moment of confusion, he made a decision.

Even if it's fake, he would turn the fake into reality!

At this moment, "Hagoromo Gengetsu" looked at Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu across from him.

Although he didn't know what had happened in the real world to bring the real Hagoromo Gengetsu, Uchiha Obito, and Black Zetsu to the Tsukuyomi world, it no longer mattered.

In this illusory world, only these three truly existed.

"Hagoromo Gengetsu" didn't want to sink into the Tsukuyomi world. To turn fake into reality, there was only one way.

Hagoromo Gengetsu, I need your body!

A sharp gleam flashed in "Hagoromo Gengetsu's" eyes. Without saying much else, he asked:

"What's the plan?"

"The legendary Ten-Tails!"

A smile curved at the corner of Uchiha Obito's mouth under his mask, the fish had finally taken the bait.

He was about to explain in detail what the Ten-Tails were and how to achieve them when "Hagoromo Gengetsu" interrupted him:

"I'm already working on it."

"Hagoromo Gengetsu" kicked the unconscious Nine-Tails beneath him.

Uchiha Obito fell silent.

He initially thought the battle between "Hagoromo Gengetsu" and the Nine-Tails was just a coincidence, not expecting that the other had plans to collect tailed beasts.

Did Hagoromo Gengetsu know about the Ten-Tails so early?

Uchiha Obito was surprised, but he continued, "To combine the Ten-Tails, the outer shell known as the Gedo Statue is indispensable. Right now, it should be—"

"On the moon."

"Hagoromo Gengetsu" completed Uchiha Obito's sentence.

Upon learning of the real Hagoromo Gengetsu's arrival and determination, "Hagoromo Gengetsu" had immediately gone to the moon to seize the Gedo Statue.

Thanks to the exalted status of himself and the Hagoromo clan in the shinobi world in the Tsukuyomi world, "Hagoromo Gengetsu" had a thorough understanding of various secrets and mystical places in the shinobi world. He quickly found a secret cave leading directly to the moon.

At this time, there were still many descendants of Hamura on the moon, and the main and branch families hadn't yet started a fierce conflict. Although their overall strength was decent, they were no match for "Hagoromo Gengetsu," and the Gedo Statue had fallen into his hands.

Uchiha Obito fell silent once again.

It seemed his presence didn't matter.

The real Hagoromo Gengetsu moved quickly, taking away his decades of work in one swift motion.

Even the execution capability of "Hagoromo Gengetsu" in the Tsukuyomi world was astounding.

So, is it true that birds of a feather flock together?

Black Zetsu, standing aside, looked deeply at "Hagoromo Gengetsu."

The nature of the Tsukuyomi world gave him a deeper understanding of Hagoromo Gengetsu. Now, from this other "Hagoromo Gengetsu," he seemed to have discovered many previously unknown things about Hagoromo Gengetsu.

Black Zetsu's eyes flickered, quietly observing.

"Is this your plan? It seems your so-called help is nothing much."

"Hagoromo Gengetsu" slowly stood up.

Standing on the Nine-Tails' head, he looked down at Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu, saying indifferently:

"Sorry, I don't need your guidance."

"However, you still have some use. Capture the tailed beasts and bring them to me."

"Only Hagoromo Gengetsu can deal with Hagoromo Gengetsu."

Back to the old business.

Although dissatisfied with "Hagoromo Gengetsu's" dismissive attitude, Uchiha Obito knew that the only help he could offer now was to capture the tailed beasts, just as "Hagoromo Gengetsu" said.

He was good at that.

With a dislike for both Hagoromo Gengetsus and hoping they would destroy each other, Uchiha Obito nodded in agreement.

To defeat the real Hagoromo Gengetsu, to regain control of the Moon's Eye Plan, and to create a world with Rin, it was worth pretending for a while.

"By the way, before you act, tell me what you know about the other Hagoromo Gengetsu and his abilities."

Everything "Hagoromo Gengetsu" could think of, the real Hagoromo Gengetsu could surely think of too.

Although he needed to act quickly and stay ahead, "Hagoromo Gengetsu" wanted to know more about his real self's information, especially his combat abilities.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

"Hagoromo Gengetsu" remembered the ancient wisdom deeply.

After quickly recounting Hagoromo Gengetsu's information, Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu immediately set off under "Hagoromo Gengetsu's" orders to capture the nearest tailed beast.

On the way, Uchiha Obito looked at Black Zetsu, puzzled, "As the caster, you should have considerable influence over the Tsukuyomi world. Why does it seem we are now working for 'Hagoromo Gengetsu,' even having to take orders from him?"

If only he could control "Hagoromo Gengetsu."

Uchiha Obito believed that under his control, defeating the real Hagoromo Gengetsu would be no problem.

Black Zetsu thought for a moment and explained:

"The Tsukuyomi world is like a reflection on water, and Hagoromo Gengetsu is like a stone. Even if you modify the reflection beforehand, the ripples caused by a stone can alter the entire reflection, making everything different from the beginning."

"Moreover, now we are three stones hitting the water."

Thus, the Tsukuyomi world was entirely out of control.

Black Zetsu wasn't lying.

That was indeed the current reality.

Unlike Uchiha Obito, he didn't mind this at all.

After all, his purpose in proposing and implementing the Tsukuyomi Plan with Uchiha Obito was to understand and judge Hagoromo Gengetsu more deeply.

Now, he had gained much.

"However, there is one good thing."

Regarding his current companion, Black Zetsu thought for a moment and comforted,

"At least, this world's Hagoromo Gengetsu hasn't failed us. Not only does he know everything about this world, but the pressure he gave us just now isn't much less than the real Hagoromo Gengetsu. As long as he successfully collects the nine tailed beasts, the real Hagoromo Gengetsu won't be his match."

"It has to be this way." Uchiha Obito nodded after a brief silence, "Then, let's speed up the tailed beast capture plan in this world."
