He knew perfectly well that these guys were thinking about whether they could deliver a fatal blow to Madara Uchiha now, trapping him on the moon... If Madara Uchiha died, that would be the best-case scenario...
After all, that would free the major ninja villages from their control and allow them to regain their freedom.
Ultimately, the reason the world is like this is because Madara Uchiha is simply too powerful.
However, Madara Uchiha did possess space-time jutsu, and if the plan failed, his return would be littered with corpses. Therefore, the others tacitly wanted to push him to the forefront, so that if things really went badly, they could make him take the blame.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips twitched slightly. Did he really look that stupid? As his thoughts raced, Hiruzen saw the three legendary Sannin of Konoha enter the meeting hall and said in a low voice, "Come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped into the gate. He muttered to himself, "These idiots... actually think I'll be the one to guide them? Although I've lost my position as Kage, Madara is, after all, someone who came from Konoha Village, and his clan is still rooted in Konoha."
The current situation is the best for Konoha. Want to rebel? Hiruzen Sarutobi says, "Go ahead and rebel yourselves."
...
On the moon.
Su Han remained calm as he unleashed his Observation Haki, sensing the sinister power emanating from all directions.
Whitebeard's expression also turned serious. He stretched his body, and then his entire body was covered in Armament Haki. "Looks like this is going to be a tough battle."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Gu Xun'er's expression changed slightly. "Isn't it said that this time the enemy is Otsutsuki Hamura? Even if that guy has absorbed the power of the evil god and his strength has surpassed the Six Paths level... but everyone here is also very strong, and may not be inferior to him."
Not to mention, there's also station number ten here.
“The most troublesome thing is that this time the enemy isn’t just Otsutsuki Hamura,” Uchiha Madara said calmly. He suddenly clasped his hands together, his hair turned snow-white, and Truth-Seeking Balls spun around him.
The next breath, a terrifying whooshing sound rang out.
An aged figure appeared instantly in front of Madara Uchiha, and kicked out with a sudden kick that distorted the void.
"Insolence!" Madara Uchiha's eyes widened, revealing a chilling glint as he grabbed the oncoming ankle with one hand. But the terrifying shockwave still pierced through his foot, striking Madara's body and twisting a large part of his form.
Madara Uchiha coughed up a mouthful of blood, but suddenly laughed, "This scene is so familiar."
"Eight Gates?" Illya blurted out almost instinctively, but then suddenly realized, "There's no blood-red steam?"
It's not the Eight Gates... this is a taijutsu technique used in normal circumstances! But if that's really the case, then how strong must the opponent's taijutsu be?
Ilya suddenly shivered and gripped the ruby tightly in her hand.
"Amazing." A soft voice of praise rang out, and the figure of Ōtsutsuki Hamura appeared from the distance.
"How could this be?" Xiaoyu suddenly realized something, and her mind was shaken.
If it wasn't Otsutsuki Hamura who made the move this time, then who was it that caused Uchiha Madara to suffer a loss?
When Xiaoyu turned her head and saw the face of that expressionless person, she froze on the spot... because it was none other than the Sage of Six Paths.
"Get out of my way." Madara Uchiha's voice was icy, and dazzling lightning erupted from his palm. "Sage Art: Yin Release Lightning Strike."
Terrifying lightning coiled around the Sage of Six Paths, who suddenly flicked his foot, dispersing the lightning, and his figure appeared behind Hamura Otsutsuki in a flash.
At the same time, the void distorted, and Kaguya Otsutsuki, expressionless, appeared.
"Leaving aside the Sage of Six Paths for now, has Kaguya Otsutsuki already been corrupted?" Whitebeard frowned. "Then the situation is a bit troublesome."
"No." Su Han's words were devoid of any emotional fluctuation. He unfolded the Mirror World, and the entire world twisted and distorted in that instant, forming a new form.
After a brief pause, Su Han calmly stated the information he had detected with his Observation Haki: "Those are not the real Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya Otsutsuki, but puppets created based on them."
"Of course, I sensed the aura of the evil god's divinity within them... With this amplification of energy, their abilities may not be inferior to the original."
"Oh?" Madara Uchiha's body gradually returned to normal. His regenerative abilities in Six Paths form were too strong.
He scanned the three figures in the distance with a hint of excitement. "So, even if I kill Rokudo and Kaguya Otsutsuki, I can still obtain high-quality evil god power?"
Madara Uchiha now believes he has reached the pinnacle of the Six Paths level, a state in which he could even destroy the Earth… but conversely, it has become much more difficult for him to advance further. In fact, one could say he has absolutely no clue what to do.
But if he had enough evil god power, he might be able to use it to build up to that level.
"I hate the look in your eyes," Hamura Otsutsuki said coldly. "Your lives began with us, and yet you dare to defy our ancestors!"
"Your only value is to offer up your chakra and then die."
“I’m not one of your descendants. Go tell that to Madara.” Whitebeard paused. He turned to Madara, looking at him with amusement. “Would you choose the Sage of Six Paths or Kaguya Otsutsuki?”
"The Sage of Six Paths." The moment Madara Uchiha finished speaking, Whitebeard and Madara Uchiha attacked almost simultaneously.

Chapter 288 Drown in a mirage, Otsutsuki Hamura (Third update)
With a loud bang, the Sage of Six Paths was sent flying in an instant. The aftershocks spread, and the earth shattered in that moment.
At the same time, a bright white light appeared on Whitebeard's fist, and he was already very close to Kaguya Otsutsuki.
The atmosphere trembled as Whitebeard unleashed a punch, countless cracks carrying unparalleled power, slamming into Kaguya Otsutsuki's face. Kaguya was sent hurtling away, her body riddled with cracks.
"Damn it." Otsutsuki Hamura stood quietly in place, sensing that his two puppets had run into big trouble. His face was cold and filled with killing intent.
After a brief silence, the black markings on Hamura Otsutsuki's face seemed to come alive, and buds of flesh sprouted from beneath his skin. "Rebels...you all deserve to die."
He had just entered Tenseigan mode and hadn't yet gone to support his puppet. Su Han's calm voice suddenly rang in his ear, "You don't actually think... only those two are your enemies, do you?"
Otsutsuki Hamura's eyes widened. Su Han flicked his hand lightly, and the Mirror Flower, Water Moon technique suddenly appeared. He spoke softly, "Heavenly Blade... Eight Techniques!"
