On the Moon
In the silent, desolate space above the Earth, Naruto descended slowly onto the surface of the Moon.
Before him stood an enormous, awe-inspiring structure.
A colossal Rinnegan.
It floated like a divine celestial object, embedded within the lunar surface, radiating an ancient and overwhelming pressure. The massive eye was not singular—it was formed from countless Byakugan fused together, layered and condensed into one terrifying dōjutsu construct.
Naruto stood still, staring at it.
"So this is the Moon's Rinnegan…" Naruto murmured.
He recalled the seal Toneri had left behind in his consciousness. Following that memory, Naruto activated the Byakugan transplanted from Toneri.
Buzz—
A pale white halo burst from Naruto's eye. In the next instant, his vision connected directly to the giant Rinnegan before him.
"I see now…"
The moment the connection was established, Naruto felt as if he had gained an immeasurable telescope. Through the Moon's Rinnegan, his perception expanded infinitely—space, distance, chakra flow, even the subtle distortions of time itself were laid bare before him.
"This thing really is incredible…"
But suddenly—
Naruto frowned.
He sensed something was wrong.
The massive Rinnegan was absorbing his chakra.
Not forcibly, but instinctively—like a starving organism reacting to a compatible power source. Worse still, Naruto felt a strange pull, as if the Rinnegan itself were trying to draw him closer.
"…What's going on?"
Naruto immediately became alert.
He summoned the Six Paths Senjutsu Staff, and behind him, the Truth-Seeking Orbs manifested one by one, rotating silently. If danger appeared, he could instantly deploy a Yin–Yang barrier and retreat.
Slowly, Naruto floated upward, cautiously approaching the source of attraction.
The closer he got, the clearer the structure became.
This massive Rinnegan was truly terrifying—formed from innumerable Byakugan, densely packed together, each one belonging to a sacrificed descendant of Hamura's bloodline.
So many lives…
The brilliance was overwhelming. Even Naruto's Rinnegan couldn't withstand the glare, forcing him to close it. Only Toneri's transplanted Byakugan remained unaffected, staring directly into the blinding core.
Just as Naruto tried to identify the source of the pull—
A voice echoed.
"Come in…"
Naruto's pupils contracted.
"What?!"
This was no hallucination.
Naruto was certain.
The voice came from the Moon's Rinnegan itself.
"Come in…"
This time, the voice was unmistakable.
"…Is this possible?" Naruto whispered.
He stared at the colossal eye, shock spreading across his face.
A dōjutsu… speaking?
Before Naruto could analyze further, the Moon's Rinnegan suddenly erupted with blinding white light.
The radiance was so intense that even Naruto's Byakugan was forced shut.
"Too bright—!"
Instinctively, the Truth-Seeking Orbs reacted, preparing to shield him.
But strangely—
They didn't resist.
It was as if they had encountered something familiar… something harmonious.
The next moment—
Naruto opened his eyes.
Within the Moon's Rinnegan
"What… is this?!"
Naruto froze in shock.
He stood in a vast, white, boundless space. Before him, rows of people stood silently, all possessing Byakugan. Their expressions were calm, solemn, and resolute.
As Naruto looked around, the crowd slowly parted.
From the center, an elderly man walked forward.
The moment Naruto saw his face, his breath caught.
"Otsutsuki… Hamura?!"
Naruto stepped forward in disbelief, staring at the familiar yet legendary figure.
"It really is you… Why are you here?"
Hamura Ōtsutsuki smiled gently—the same benevolent expression Naruto remembered from Hagoromo.
"This space exists because of the Moon's Rinnegan," Hamura explained calmly. "All those who sacrificed themselves to create it carried my bloodline. Their chakra gathered here… and so did my consciousness."
Naruto nodded slowly in understanding.
Hamura examined Naruto closely, then chuckled softly.
"It seems you have surpassed my brother as he once was… No—perhaps you are already comparable to our mother at her peak."
Naruto didn't deny it.
"Yes. Under Kaguya's guidance, I achieved a true Sage Body. I merged with the Ten-Tails' shell, and I also transplanted Toneri's Byakugan. I now carry the power of the Hamura lineage as well."
Hamura nodded approvingly.
"If you hadn't reached this level, you could never have met me."
Naruto looked at him intently.
"Grandfather Hamura… I believe meeting me here was part of the plan you and the Sage of Six Paths left behind. Without your Pure Eye, Toneri couldn't have sent me back in time to be reborn."
Hamura sighed softly.
"It seems our worries have come true… Seeing you now, I know we were right to prepare."
Naruto bowed slightly.
"Thank you. Without you and Hagoromo, the world would've been destroyed long ago. I wouldn't have had the chance to be reborn… or to correct so many regrets."
Hamura smiled.
"What you see here is only residual chakra consciousness. I can't act freely. But since you're here—there is something I must give you."
Naruto straightened.
Hamura raised a finger. A point of white light emerged and gently touched Naruto's Byakugan.
Instantly, searing heat spread through Naruto's eye.
He gasped and instinctively covered it.
"Grandfather—what did you do?!"
Hamura explained calmly.
"I strengthened it. My brother mastered the Rinnegan and Mangekyō Sharingan. I, however, awakened the Tenseigan, and devoted my life to understanding the Byakugan."
"I've transformed your Byakugan… and sealed the Moon's Rinnegan within it."
Naruto's eyes widened.
"You hid that massive Rinnegan inside my Byakugan?! Then… does my Byakugan now possess space-time ninjutsu?"
Hamura laughed.
"You may think of it that way."
Naruto was stunned.
A Byakugan… housing a Rinnegan capable of annihilating planets?
Hamura's tone turned serious.
"Be cautious. Each activation consumes your own chakra. Even with your reserves, the number of times you can use it is limited. Do not rely on it recklessly."
Naruto nodded solemnly.
He understood.
A full-power Moon Rinnegan blast could obliterate the Earth—but it would also destroy the dōjutsu itself.
Such power must only be used as a final resort.
Naruto bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Grandfather Hamura."
Hamura smiled warmly.
"Farewell… child of prophecy."
His form dissolved into starlight. The Byakugan-bearing figures behind him vanished alongside him.
The white space faded.
Back on the Moon
Naruto stood alone once more.
He opened his Byakugan.
For a moment, an unfathomable depth stirred within it.
Naruto clenched his fist.
"Urashiki…"
With this power—
The hunt could finally begin.
The Moon remained silent as Naruto vanished into space, his presence blending perfectly with the cosmos itself.
