Someone must replace us to completely resolve the crisis caused by Uchiha Shin.
Otsutsuki Hamura turned to his brother, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, who nodded in silent agreement. His brother was right—Shin's plans were pushing the world towards catastrophe. The resurrection of their mother, Kaguya, seemed imminent. If Shin succeeded in activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi, then even if their mother did not return, humanity's fate would be sealed in an endless dream.
But when the two discussed who could stop him, silence filled the space between them.
Who in this era was capable of inheriting their power to seal away Uchiha Shin?
After analyzing all available information, both came to the same conclusion: no one.
"We must find the reincarnations of Asura and Indra," Hamura said at last. "They alone possess the balance of Yin and Yang."
Hagoromo nodded in agreement. His sons were always meant to carry the torch, and their chakra would be the most compatible. However, a problem remained.
"Reincarnations?" Hamura questioned. "But Asura and Indra's last vessels, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, have long since perished. Their chakra remains, but their reincarnations have yet to manifest in new bodies."
Hagoromo had anticipated this. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the souls of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama from the Pure Land. The spirits drifted before them, their consciousness locked in the fog of the afterlife. They would answer any question, but only Hagoromo could fully awaken them.
Pointing to the two floating souls, Hagoromo sighed. "The only solution is to restore their physical forms, revive them, and grant them the power of the Six Paths."
Both brothers possessed divine power beyond mortal comprehension, but resurrection was no simple feat—even for them.
Luckily, while Madara and Hashirama were immensely powerful, their bodies were still bound to human limitations. That made recreating them a possible, if time-consuming, task. Once revived, bestowing them with the Six Paths' strength would allow them to reach near-godhood, if only temporarily.
"This is the best course of action," Hagoromo declared. Hamura, after a brief pause, nodded.
But there was another complication.
Hashirama's remains were in the possession of Uchiha Shin. Retrieving them undetected would be difficult. And Madara's body? It had been obliterated—crushed to dust by Shin, his remains scattered into nothingness.
Fortunately, the chakra of Asura and Indra contained enough genetic information to reconstruct them. The new bodies they forged would be indistinguishable from the originals, ensuring they were as powerful as their past selves.
With this plan set, Hagoromo and Hamura began their preparations.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the shinobi world, Uchiha Shin stood at the edge of a quiet forest. His black cloak swayed in the wind as he gazed at the tranquil landscape before him.
Without warning, Black Zetsu emerged from the ground. The inky, fluid-like entity coiled up like living sludge before taking form beside Shin.
"Father, I have located the scientist, Amado. He is hiding in the underground base beneath this forest," Zetsu reported, his voice filled with absolute devotion.
Shin smirked. "Good work. I discussed this with your mother—once she is resurrected, we'll create a perfect body for you."
It was a grand promise, one that filled Zetsu with deep excitement. His gelatinous form twitched with anticipation.
"My lord… I… I…"
"Save the gratitude for later." Shin cut him off with a dismissive wave. "First, go to the Three Shadows Alliance and monitor their movements."
"Yes, father!" Zetsu declared, vanishing into the earth.
Shin sighed internally. Zetsu was so pathetically easy to manipulate. But no matter—he had bigger concerns.
Activating his Rinnegan, Shin scanned the landscape with divine clarity. Instantly, the entire underground structure was revealed to him. He smirked.
"Shin, you said that this 'Kara' organization was founded by Isshiki Otsutsuki. Why not just kill everyone in it and be done with it?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki, standing beside Shin, crossed her arms. Her ethereal beauty was only slightly dimmed by her frustration.
Her simple mind failed to grasp why they needed a mere scientist.
Shin sighed. "You don't understand the power of science."
Kaguya scowled. She didn't like being talked down to.
Shin continued, ignoring her glare. "Isshiki possesses remnants of Shibai Otsutsuki's genetic material. And this scientist, Amado, has the ability to clone beings infused with divine power."
Kaguya's expression immediately shifted to one of shock.
"Shibai Otsutsuki…?" Her usually calm voice wavered with something close to fear.
Shibai Otsutsuki was no ordinary entity. He had ascended beyond the limits of his clan, achieving godhood through endless chakra consumption. He was the very definition of power.
And this scientist had been attempting to create clones from his remains?
"That's insane," she muttered.
Shin smirked. "Now you understand."
Kaguya remained quiet for a long moment. "If they've been experimenting with Shibai's genes… their results could be catastrophic."
Shin chuckled darkly. "Exactly."
She stared at him. "Your ability lets you assimilate genetic material. Are you planning to steal it?"
Shin grinned. "Finally catching on, are we? If I can get direct samples from Amado's lab, I won't have to waste time searching for weaker alternatives."
Kaguya exhaled, her concern replaced with cold acceptance. "Then do it."
With that, Shin turned his gaze back toward the underground lab, his Rinnegan glowing with anticipation.
If this worked, his power would transcend even the gods themselves.
And nothing in this world would stand in his way
