Madara roared in pain as Kaguya's consciousness rushed into him. "No!" he cried out "I am the saviour of this world! I am the one who will bring peace!" He struggled to regain control of his own body, but soon found that he could no longer move himself.
"You are but a child. A mere conduit for my will," a voice said inside of him. He looked up, and saw an outline of bright white chakra, a woman.
"B-betrayed by my own allies," he coughed. "I-I have the… the Rinnegan. I can… just force you out."
Kaguya laughed. "Silly child," she approached him and laid a hand gently on his cheek. "Even inside your own mind, I am still a goddess. Now sleep, my little soldier," she looked into his eyes, and he lost complete control. Kaguya shook the limbs of her new body. "A bit rusty at controlling these things, but I'll try."
Outside, Team 7 gazed upon what was happening. The Black Zetsu had completely left Obito, letting the body fall to the floor. The darkness had spread inside Madara, revealing veins which protruded from all over his body, and his lips were blackened. His skin had darkened, and his hair had grown slightly longer. Or was that just Black Zetsu's own body?
"Hahaha," chuckled "Madara" slowly. "Finally. After all this time." She gazed at her new hands, marvelling at finally having limbs again. White chakra flowed freely around her arms, showing that even though the Ten-Tails chakra would fit inside him, her chakra was so potent that it did not rest. Her limbs moved jerkily, un-used to moving.
"My beautiful children," she said, waving her hand "Please, let us not fight. You indeed are strong, as you did not fall to my Infinite Tsukiyomi." Her face turned dark. "Yes, it will not be a fight at all. It will be a slaughter!" A ball of dark chakra shot out from her hand, heading straight towards Naruto at high speeds.
Sasuke swung his hand to the side, and pushed the attack away. "Naruto, the shadows have disappeared. This is probably Kaguya inside Madara's body!" The black sphere skidded along the ground for a distance, before exploding into a bright white flash.
Naruto whistled. "I know, I can sense her consciousness. But did you see that attack? Damn."
"This is no time to be admiring our enemies, Naruto," Sakura scolded. "We need a plan, and fast."
Kakashi caught sight of his teammate lying on the floor. "I've got one. Sasuke, I'll need a distraction, Sakura, I'll need you to come with me." Sasuke rushed towards Kaguya, while Kakashi and Sakura dashed around her.
"Don't oppose me," Kaguya said, and outstretched her hand shakily. "Almighty Pu-" Sasuke interrupted her, swinging down his sword in a wide arc. She cursed and jumped back, dodging too late and getting a cut on the cheek.
"Still can't control that body properly, I see?" Sasuke said smugly, before launching a fireball at her. She dispelled it in time to see Sasuke approaching, right eye closed, focusing his power into the Rinnegan. "Goruden Amaterasu!"
Golden flames burnt at Kaguya, and as she swatted them away, Sasuke plunged his sword into her chest. Naruto launched a Bijuudama at her, and as Sasuke leapt away, she was completely destroyed.
"D-did we do it?" Naruto stuttered. "We did! Alright!"
"No, you fool, I am still alive," came a voice from behind him. "As the Ten-Tails jinchuriki, I am invincible. Any attack on me will simply be taken out on some poor fool trapped in the Infinite Tsukiyomi." As if to prove her point, one of the cocoons holding a ninja burst into flames then disappeared. "There is no hope for you."
Meanwhile, Sakura and Kakashi had arrived at Obito's body. He was weak, about to die. He coughed and tried to sit up, but Kakashi pushed him down. "Don't move. Sakura can heal you, right?" Sakura looked dubious, but began to push chakra into him. Obito pushed her away.
"Don't try, girl. I can't survive having the Ten-Tails ripped out of me like that. Instead, I'll help you." He spluttered.
"Help us? How?" Sakura said.
"Well, girl, there is a way to free people from the Infinie Tsukiyomi," Sakura's eyes widened. "You need-" he coughed up blood. "You need to remove them from the Great Tree, and give them the chakra of a Senju or and Uchiha."
"What? How does that work?" asked Sakura.
"The Infinite Tsukiyomi is unescapable because they do not want to escape from it. The sudden change in their chakra changes to Genjutsu, so that instead of seeing the best thing possible…"
"Yes?" Sakura pressed.
Obito gulped. "It shows them their worst nightmare. It mentally rips them apart, and unless they are mentally strong, they could fall apart completely."
Kaguya was repelling everything they could throw at her, and vice versa. All her jutsu were seen through by Sasuke's Rinnegan; all her defences torn down by Naruto. She was actually beginning to get angry. "The old fool should have never interfered!" she exclaimed thunderously. "This is my world, and he should have learnt that I am a God!"
Sasuke and Naruto stepped back, breathing heavily. Kaguya too, was out of breath. "We can't hurt her; we have to wait for Kakashi and Sakura to some back," Sasuke said. "It's a pity neither of us know any sealing jutsu."
"Naruto, Sasuke," came a voice from within them. They both frowned and looked at each other.
"Did you hear that?" they both said at the same time.
"Be wuit, we don't have much time before my mother will go into a fury and obliterate you. You have minutes before she gains full control of Madara's body and can use her full powers." The Sage's voice said inside of them as they dodged another wave of chakra.
"There is only one way for you to defeat her; you must cut her connection to the Ten-Tails."
"How can we do that?" Naruto said, smashing a black wall of energy she had created.
"I will need… to return to this world," the Sage said. "But as everyone is trapped in the Genjutsu, and I cannot take either of who two over, I will have to take over one of your teammates."
"Sakura," Sasuke said immediately. "She is of no use in this fight."
"Don't be so harsh!" Naruto shouted. "Sakura and Kakashi are working together right now to help us!"
Sasuke looked mildly embarrassed, and said. "Maybe you could take over one of the Reanimated Hokages, then?"
The Sage grunted in agreement, and left their mindscapes.
Kaguya screamed in fury, and then chakra around her solidified, revealing her true form. "FINALLY! YOU PESKY FLIES ARE REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES!" she screeched. "GET READY TO BE DESTROYED! ANCIENT ART: WAR GODS!" Four figures landed on the ground from the sky, leaving a spider-web of cracks below them. "Die, fools," she said.
Hashirama lay on his back, unable to move, while his brother also sat motionless beside him. "Odd, isn't it?" said Hashirama.
"What is?" said Tobirama.
"That we weren't caught by the Genjutsu. I wonder if Hiruzen and Minato are still free."
"Most likely they are. I can still sense Hiruzen's chakra; it isn't merged with all the others and the Ten-Tails."
"Hmmm. You can still sense chakra? I can't even feel my-"
He was interrupted by Tobirama's body beginning to glow. "Aren't I lucky?" the Sage thought to himself. "Not only were these people not in the Genjutsu, but they had my chakra as well!"
Tobirama smiled at his brother. "It was nice to see you again, brother, but it would have been nicer if it wasn't under such horrible circumstances."
Hashirama grinned as well. "Perhaps we'll meet in the future. Why are you disappearing but not me?"
"It appears that someone else wishes to use my body, and who am I to stop them?" Tobirama said, before the light burst out, then faded, revealing the Sage standing in his place, in his prime again.
"Hello descendent of mine," he said cheerily, removing Madara's rods from Hashirama's body and pulsing chakra into him to re-start the Reanimation. "Do you know where the fight is?"
Hashirama nodded dumbly, and pointed slowly over to where the Great Tree had risen out of the ground. "O-o-over there. A-a-a-re you… are you the Sage of Six Paths?"
"Why yes I am. Are you coming to help me? I could use the help of such a fine young man."
Hashirama got up as well, and prepared to leave.
"Ah yes, before I leave," the Sage said, and made a hand sign. "Samsara of Heavenly Life!"
Hashirama glowed, and returned to full life.
Hiruzen stopped running abruptly, before his body returned to life, in his prime. "Strange," he said, and continued running towards the fight.
Namikaze Minato was trying to get to the battleground, when suddenly his arms reappeared.
"What," was all he had time to say before he too came back to life.
The Sage too returned to the world of the living and cracked his neck. "And before I forget," he said, slamming both hands on the floor, bringing the earth up to reveal Tobirama fully revived.
"There. All people available to fight. We should hurry to the battle ground- Naruto and Sasuke are going to get pummelled otherwise."
He jumped in the air, twin Rinnegan glowing purple as he created as staff.
"Those two may have the power of a Sage, but I'll show them how a true Sage fights."
