chapter 6

As the conversation continued, Kaguya felt a weight lift off her shoulders, replaced by a newfound sense of purpose. She may not have any sentimental attachment to the shinobi world, but she understood the necessity of their cooperation in the face of the looming threat posed by the Otsutsuki clan.

With a nod of acknowledgment, Kaguya turned her attention to the Sage of the Six Paths, her demeanor shifting from guarded skepticism to cautious acceptance. "I will assist you in this fight," she stated, her voice carrying a hint of determination. "But know that my allegiance lies with the preservation of my tailed beasts and my own existence."

The Sage met her gaze with a reassuring smile, a sense of understanding passing between them. "Your terms are acceptable," he replied, his tone filled with gratitude. "Together, we will stand against the Otsutsuki threat and protect our world."

Naruto's eyes sparkled with hope, his belief in Kaguya's potential unwavering. "We'll do everything we can to support you," he affirmed, his voice filled with unwavering resolve.

Sasuke's expression softened slightly, his gaze reflecting a newfound sense of respect for Kaguya. "Thank you for your assistance," he said, his tone sincere. "We'll make sure to uphold our end of the bargain."

The current kage nodded in agreement, their expressions a mix of relief and determination. "We stand united in our goal to protect our world," Tsunade declared, her voice steady. "And we'll do whatever it takes to ensure our victory."

Minato, Tobirama, and Hashirama exchanged glances, a sense of awe evident in their expressions. "To think that we would stand alongside the mother of chakra," Minato mused, his tone filled with reverence.

With the terms agreed upon and their alliance solidified, the group turned their attention to the task at hand: preparing for the inevitable conflict with the Otsutsuki clan. Together, they would stand as a united front, ready to face whatever challenges came their way. And as they began to strategize and plan, Kaguya couldn't help but feel a sense of hope stir within her ancient heart. Perhaps, with their combined strength and determination, they stood a chance at overcoming even the greatest of adversaries.
