In the Pure Land, Madara sat quietly, drowning I'm self-doubt. 'Was I really manipulated for years? Was I just a pawn this whole time?'
'I thought I could bring true peace...Damn it!'
[Senju Hashirama: Makoto, does that mean our world will still face threats from the Ōtsutsuki clan in the future?]
[Makoto Ito: Bingo!]
[Senju Tobirama: I thought our era was already chaotic enough, but it sounds like the future will be even worse.]
[Namikaze Minato: Makoto, just how strong is this Ōtsutsuki clan?]
[Makoto Ito: Each one of them is at least as strong as Kaguya, if not stronger. Most of them have abilities on par with the Rinnegan. Just Kaguya and Isshiki alone could defeat all of you. And guess what? Kaguya isn't even a fighter.]
[Uchiha Madara: WHAT?!]
Madara was stunned. He knew firsthand how powerful the Rinnegan was since he had awakened it himself. But now he was hearing that most of the Ōtsutsuki clan had powers just as strong, if not stronger?
Even Hashirama's face darkened. If what Makoto said was true, then the Ōtsutsuki weren't just another enemy, they were monsters.
For a while, the chat went silent. Everyone was struggling to process this shocking revelation and worrying about what the future held for the world.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Makoto finally arrived at Training Ground No. 3.
As soon as he stepped in, he saw Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura sprawled out on the ground, completely exhausted.
"Damn it! Why isn't Kakashi-sensei here yet?"
"He told us to meet up in the morning, but it's almost ten o'clock now!"
Hearing Naruto's complaints, Makoto chuckled internally. 'Ten o'clock? Even if you wait another two hours, Kakashi still won't be here.'
[Hatake Sakumo: What's going on? Kakashi's late again? What is he up to?]
[Senju Tobirama: Do ninjas these days not even know the meaning of punctuality?]
[Senju Hashirama: And it looks these poor kids have been waiting for so long!]
[Namikaze Minato: Didn't Kakashi tell them to meet in the morning? Why is it almost noon and he still hasn't shown up?]
[Hyuga Hizashi: Maybe he's on a mission? He is a Jōnin, after all. Unexpected missions do happen.]
[Namikaze Minato: That makes sense… I guess.]
[Hatake Sakumo: If it's a mission, then fine. But if he's just slacking off… That's another story. I can't believe he turned out like this, always arriving late, spending all day reading those smut books… Sigh, this is my all fault.]
[Makoto Ito: What if he's just… late for no reason?]
[Namikaze Minato: No way, right?]
[Uzumaki Kushina: Minato, are you serious? Didn't you see how late he was last time? All the teachers came and picked up their students, but he was nowhere to be found! He's probably off reading Master Jiraiya's books somewhere.]
[Uchiha Mikoto: That actually makes a lot of sense. And look at how exhausted those kids are! He made them come here early in the morning, on empty stomachs, and now it's almost afternoon! They must be starving!]
[Hatake Sakumo: If my son really doesn't have an excuse and is just being lazy, I swear, when I get resurrected, I'll personally set him straight.]
[Makoto Ito: No need for you to do it, Senior Sakumo. This is a small issue! I can handle it. Just teach me White Light Blade Technique, and I'll make sure Kakashi never touches those books again!]
[Hatake Sakumo: Honestly, Makoto, I did consider passing my sword techniques to you. But after seeing the things you've learned from Lord First and Senior Madara, I'm not sure if my skills would even be useful to you anymore.]
[Makoto Ito: Don't say that. Back in the day, your name struck fear in the hearts of shinobi from other villages. You were a legend, the White Fang of the Hidden Leaf! People even compared you to the three Legendary Sannin!]
[Hatake Sakumo: Sigh… That was a long time ago. Let's not bring it up.]
[Senju Tobirama: Hmph! It's all because of that scheming old thief, Evil Sarutobi! Sakumo was one of the village's strongest shinobi, yet he was forced into suicide. What kind of Hokage lets that happen?! I'm having a word with him the moment I get the chance!]
[Makoto Ito: Whoa, Grandpa Second, you're changing things up! No more 'evil Uchiha' talk? Now it's 'evil Sarutobi'?]
[Senju Tobirama: Hmph! They're both evil! But Sarutobi is worse!]
[Uchiha Izuna: Sigh… What did I expect from you, you Uchiha hater?]
[Senju Tobirama: I don't hate them for no reason. I hate them because they are hateful. As I always said, 'Hate on an Uchiha once a day, keep the troubles away!'. Now, I will add Hiruzen to the list!]
[Uchiha Izuna: TOBIRAMA!!]
[Senju Tobirama: IZUNAAA!!]
[Namikaze Minato: Sigh… They're at it again.]
[Makoto Ito: This is what happens when you put two stubborn old men in the same place.]
[Uchiha Izuna: Who are you calling old, brat?]
[Senju Tobirama: Makoto, you little brat!]
[Hatake Sakumo: Weren't we talking about my son? Why are you two fighting?]
[Makoto Ito: That's right! So, Senior Sakumo, do you want me to teach Kakashi a lesson?]
[Hatake Sakumo: Well, just don't be too harsh on him… After all, it's mostly my fault that he turned out this way.]
[Group Member Hatake Sakumo has gifted the White Light Blade Technique to Group Leader Makoto Ito!]
