Chapter 337 - Cap 315: Go with her

"The moon goddess... the mother of Chakra..." - Kushina muttered as her eyes widened in surprise - "Shit, activate the Jutsu!"

Kushina quickly made a hand seal as 9 huge pillars surrounded her home.

* * * * *

The Jubi quickly retreated back to Madara's side after instinctively sensing that things wouldn't go his way. Sasuke for his part returned to Kurama's side who was now in his human form.

"Enough! It's time for me to show you the true power of the Mugen Tsukuyomi!" - Madara exclaimed as the moon shone brightly. Quickly the silhouette of the Rinne Sharingan became more apparent, only for the earth to begin to tremble.

The Jubi roared as his body changed at great speed. His deformed body slowly began to take the shape of a tree as it sank into the earth.

Kurama's eyes widened in terror as he saw huge roots appear in the distance, right where the allied forces were, only to feel their Chakra's disappear.

"It's time to bring true peace!" - Madara exclaimed, only to vomit blood when he felt something penetrating his c.h.e.s.t - "Ugh... Zetsu..."

"Thank you very much, Madara..." - Zetsu said as his black liquid body surrounded Uchiha's body - "Thanks to you, I can finally accomplish my goal..."

"How!" - Madara roared as he felt himself losing consciousness - "You are a being created by my will!"

"Your will?" - Zetsu repeated as he let out a laugh full of madness - "Did you really think I was part of your will? Oh god, I never thought the great Uchiha Madara would be a comedian!"

Madara could feel himself starting to lose all sensations in his body as he listened to Zetsu's loud laughter.

"Thank you for making me laugh one last time, so as a reward I'm going to tell you the truth..." - Zetsu said as more parts of the Uchiha's body started to turn black - "I Zetsu, am not your will, Madara... I am... Kaguya's will!"

Madara opened his eyes in surprise, only to cry out in pain as he felt his body begin to swell.

"I was always controlling everything! I waited centuries for someone with the Rinnegan so I could complete my plan, that's why I changed that blasted pillar of yours!" said Zetsu as his laughter grew more and more lunatic - "And you know what the funniest thing is! That I not only controlled you, but also the progenitor of your clan!"

Kurama's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this because now he understood the reason for such a huge change in Indra.

"But well, I think it's time for me to stop playing around and activate the true function of the Mugen Tsukuyomi" - exclaimed Zetsu excitedly as he moved Madara's body to his will - "Now I will use everyone's chakra in order to bring back the most powerful being this world has ever created! Rejoice at the return of Otsutsuki Kaguya, the mother of Chakra!"

Kurama roared in fury as he felt much of the world's chakra being consumed by the roots of the Shinju.

"Tell me Madara... How does it feel to be the pawn after thinking you were the King?" - Zetsu asked as a huge sadistic grin appeared on his face.

"How ironic..." - Madara muttered weakly - "In the end, I was the one trapped in an illusion..."

"And that's what makes it funnier!" - Zetsu exclaimed as he let out a laugh - "But well, it's time for us to come to the conclusion..."

"Izuna... I've failed...." - Madara muttered before screaming in pain as he felt a huge amount of chakra enter into him - "AH!"

"Kurama, we have to destroy those things!" - Sasuke exclaimed in terror as he to felt the chakra of his friends and comrades being drained from their bodies. The result of this was obvious, the energy known as chakra was vital to the inhabitants of the Elemental Nations because it was their source of life, if it was stolen, then they would die.

"Oh, I recommend you not to do anything stupid" - said Zetsu with disdain - "The Shinju may be stealing those human's chakra, but at the same time it is their lifeline... if you cut them off, then they die, now just enjoy the show..."

"You bastard!" - Sasuke roared, only to be stopped by Kurama, who was shaking his head.

"I see that at least one of you can keep control of your emotions and it's ironic that it's the Uzumaki who are known for being reckless, rather than the Uchiha who are known for being cold and calculating" - said Zetsu as his laughter grew with each passing second.

Madara's screams were becoming more and more frequent as his body began to expand. His grotesque appearance appeared to be that of a sphere of flesh that seemed to be wiggling, only for after a few seconds of expansion, his body to be surrounded by what appeared to be a cocoon of chakra.

"I think this is a good time to attack" - Sasuke said seriously, only to launch himself at the white cocoon. He wasn't thinking things through because if what Zetsu said was true, then his fellow Shinobi Allied Forces members weren't the only ones caught up in those things, but everyone, that meant his beloved and his daughter were in danger, one that he would destroy immediately.

"Wait, Sasuke!" - Kurama exclaimed as he used one of his tails to catch his friend.

"Why are you stopping me!" - Sasuke exclaimed, only to see from the cocoon, numerous white needles were heading towards him - ". . . Thank you. . ."

Something told him that those things were more dangerous than he thought.

"You're welcome" - Kurama answered seriously as he stood on guard.

His body was tense, his gaze sharp and his chakra was ready to launch a technique at any moment, but his expression changed to one of surprise as he heard loud heartbeat sounds begin to echo louder and louder in the place.

*Thump Thump!*

The earth trembled with each heartbeat heard, as if it was trying to escape from whatever was inside the cocoon.

The winds were getting stronger and stronger, the roar of thunder was becoming more and more prominent as the few remaining animals tried to escape as far as they could.

Kurama was watching all this in silence as he felt his heart beating like a drum, only to feel it calm down along with the sounds of the cocoon, though this didn't last for long.

*Crack! Crack!*

The cocoon slowly began to crack as Zetsu's voice reappeared along with his unhinged laughter - "Witness the resurgence of the Rabbit Goddess, the Mother of chakra, Kaguya Otsutsuki!"

The sound of an explosion echoed in place as a female silhouette appeared where the cocoon once stood, only for a female voice to echo in place - "Hagoromo... no... you are someone different, but familiar..."

Beautiful white hair, delicate features, small red lips, a white princess dress with gold and purple trim, snow-white teas, ending in a body that would give Tsunade a run for her money, though this was noticeable to no one because of her conservative clothes. Two large horns protruded from her head while her hands appeared to be claws, other than that, her appearance was not much different from theirs.

Kaguya slowly opened her pearly eyes filled with hatred, only to release a huge and powerful chakra.

"Mother" - a black silhouette appeared on the woman's sleeve - "They..."

"Quiet, Zetsu..." - Kaguya looked with a neutral expression at the black being - "Your work is done, now... give me your memories..."

"Mother?" - Zetsu said, only to feel her body compress into a black sphere - "Ahhhhhhhh!"

Kurama and Sasuke could only watch as Kaguya slowly absorbed the sphere that was once Zetsu, only to notice how she frowned - "I feel impure..."

She quickly made the Jubi's silhouette appear in her shadow, only for it to 'spit out' what appeared to be two corpses.

"Okaa-sama!" - Menma shouted as he ran towards one of them when he noticed their appearance, only to feel a sharp pain in his c.h.e.s.t. She slowly looked down, only to notice how he had a spear pierced where his heart should be - "Okaa... sama..."

"That's the mercy I'll give you... now you can be reunited with that woman you love so much" - Kaguya said as she absorbed the White Zetsu essence that the blond possessed.

Menma started to vomit blood as he felt his body getting weaker and weaker.

"Your suffering is over..." - Kaguya said as she felt the life disappear from the boy - "Now... go with her"
