Naruto

Naruto's face is strained with frustration, his usual optimism faltering as he wipes the sweat from his brow. "How did we not know about all of this? We thought we had the advantage, but they were holding back... I can't believe it... we're not strong enough…" His voice shakes slightly, but he quickly tries to rally his team. "We have to keep fighting! We can't give up now. We need to get stronger, and maybe Kaguya can—no, will help us! She said she would lend us her forces, right?"

Sasuke

Sasuke stands a little away from the group, his expression hardened, but his mind racing. "This is... worse than I thought. We were blind to how powerful Ishiki really is. And we've been too naive to think Kaguya wouldn't be involved somehow." He clenches his fists. "We can't rely on her forever, but… Maybe we have no choice." He looks toward Naruto, who's already trying to figure out the next move. "If Kaguya really sees us as her grandsons, maybe it's time we ask for help. But I won't be fooled by her manipulation again."

Tsunade

Tsunade is fuming with frustration, her fists clenched tightly. "We should've seen this coming! How did we not sense the depth of Ishiki's forces?" She growls, then shakes her head, trying to keep a level head. "If Kaguya has more of these Zetsu at her disposal, we need to be careful what we ask for. We can't rely on her forever. But…" she pauses, looking over at Naruto and Sasuke. "Maybe we don't have a choice. We'll have to swallow our pride and ask her for help. But we need to be cautious."

Mei

Mei steps forward, her face pale but determined. "I... I don't think we have any other choice now. This isn't just a battle of strength anymore; it's a battle of endurance, strategy, and numbers." She glances at Naruto and Sasuke. "If you think Kaguya could help us, then... maybe it's worth asking. But we need to be prepared for the consequences of involving her again."

Onoki

Onoki, looking worn from the battle, glances over to the young Hokage. "Tsunade is right. This fight isn't just about power, it's about tactics, and Ishiki is far more resourceful than we thought. Maybe it's time to ask for help from Kaguya, but I wouldn't expect her to do it for free. She'll want something in return, and we have to be ready for that."

Raikage

The Raikage shakes his head, looking angry and lost. "Kaguya? I don't care what she thinks of us. We need to get her to help us, and fast." He exhales sharply, his fists clenched, his tone filled with frustration. "But we can't trust her, not entirely. If she's playing us, we need to figure out how to counter her manipulations."

Shikimaru

Shikimaru crosses his arms, looking thoughtful, but tired. "We've never faced anything like this. I can't believe how much we underestimated the Ōtsutsuki. If we want to survive this, we need to have a solid plan, and if that means asking for Kaguya's help, then we'll have to consider it." He sighs deeply. "This could backfire, but our options are running out fast. We need information and power, and Kaguya's Zetsu might be our best shot."

Killer B

Killer B stays quiet for a moment, then steps forward, rapping out a few beats on his chest. "Yo, yo, yo. If we gotta ask Kaguya for help, we gotta make sure we're ready for whatever comes next. I ain't trusting that woman too easily, but if she's got the power, we gotta take it. No time to waste."

Kakashi

Kakashi stands, a frown on his face, his ever-present calm demeanor faltering. "Ishiki's power... it's unlike anything we've seen before. But Kaguya's forces are even more terrifying. If we can't defeat Ishiki by ourselves, maybe it's time to ask her for help." He looks over at Naruto and Sasuke, his tone serious. "But we need to tread carefully. Asking Kaguya for help could come with its own set of dangers."

Minato

Minato stands off to the side, his mind already working. "I agree. If Kaguya really does see you two as her grandsons, then maybe there's a chance. But we need to have a solid plan in place to ensure we don't get caught up in whatever game she's playing." His voice is calm, but there's a hint of worry. "I'll help with teleportation again, but we need to be sure we know exactly what we're asking for."

Hashirama

Hashirama, his expression somber, steps forward, his usual jovial nature gone. "I was hoping to avoid involving Kaguya in this. But the truth is, we're not strong enough on our own. If she really wants to help, we have no choice but to ask. But I warn you all—Kaguya plays by her own rules. If we ask her for help, we need to be prepared for what she wants in return." He looks toward Tobirama. "We'll need to be ready for anything."

Tobirama

Tobirama, never one to shy away from blunt truths, scoffs. "Hah. Asking Kaguya for help? Fine, but don't expect her to do it out of the goodness of her heart. She's not our ally. She never was." He turns to Naruto and Sasuke. "You two may have a connection with her, but don't forget—she's the reason we're in this mess. But if she can give us the power to end this, then we'll take it." His tone is sharp, but there's a begrudging acceptance.
