The air and chakra compressed to their absolute limits erupted into a monstrous white tiger, its roar shaking the Pure Land.
In the next instant, the cataclysmic blast slammed into the two brothers like a mountain collapsing from the heavens.
BOOOOM!!!
The deafening explosion ripped through the Pure Land realm. A hurricane-force shockwave churned across the space as the bodies of Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura were hurled backward, gouging trenches in the ethereal ground as they flew dozens of kilometers.
Though they were spirits, the damage they suffered was very real. Their astral bodies flickered and shimmered from the intensity of the impact.
But before they could regain their footing, Uchiha Shin appeared before them.
His body arrived first—his voice lagged behind.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!!!
A few seconds later, the shrieking winds born from his velocity howled through the space like a storm chasing his presence.
"Six Paths Art: Divine Thunder Armor!"
Hagoromo's instincts screamed at him. He summoned a lightning-infused Susanoo that wrapped around his form like armor, crackling with Six Paths chakra.
His Truth-Seeking Orbs spun outward, flying toward Uchiha Shin with lethal force.
Hamura joined in from the side, his Rinnegan blazing. He didn't hold back.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!!!"
With a wave of his hand, a swirling hurricane erupted—its slicing winds capable of severing dimensions.
But even this overwhelming technique was eclipsed by the sheer force of Uchiha Shin's sonic boom alone. His raw chakra and pressure erased Hamura's attack like a candle in a tempest.
BANG BANG BANG!!!
The Truth-Seeking Orbs were batted away like toys—Shin used only his bare hands.
In an instant, he appeared before Hagoromo, disregarding the Divine Thunder Armor entirely. The lightning surged over Shin's body—but didn't harm him.
"Eight Extremes: Heaven Shatters Moon Punch!"
Shin unleashed a devastating punch.
The electrified Susanoo armor shattered like brittle glass.
Lightning arced violently—but did nothing to slow his advance. He seized Hagoromo by the throat and slammed him into the ground with such force that the terrain collapsed, sending shockwaves that blasted Hamura several kilometers away.
"Immortal Dust: Soul Rend Disintegration!"
Shin's right hand pulsed with unspeakable power. His grip around Hagoromo's throat intensified—and then crushed it.
Hagoromo's spirit began to unravel.
The spiritual energy holding him together disintegrated, and the force spreading through him left no room for resistance.
All he could see was Shin's cold, merciless expression as death tightened its grip.
"Brother!!!" Hagoromo's desperate cry tore through the space.
Hamura's eyes widened. Rage and panic surged through him as he raced toward the scene—but it was too late.
He arrived just in time to witness his elder brother's soul being annihilated in Uchiha Shin's hand.
Shin closed his eyes, exhaling slowly, drinking in the refined soul energy. A contented, euphoric smile curled across his face.
"Your brother?" Shin said mockingly. "Huh~ He's already in heaven."
There was no heaven. Hagoromo's soul had been obliterated. There was nothing left to ascend.
Hamura lost control.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!!!"
A sword of divine light roared into existence. Blazing gold chakra surged, tearing through the Pure Land with the speed of light.
The energy pulled the air from the world—leaving a crushing vacuum in its wake. The heavens cracked. The horizon vanished behind the glare of divine fury.
Uchiha Shin's hair rippled from the sheer wind pressure alone.
And yet—he smiled.
"That's more like it. But I won't let you destroy this world."
As the lightsaber of chakra devoured the sky, Shin's eyes bled. The visual energy surged violently.
"Izanagi: Rewrite Reality!"
Buzz—
An unseen force swept across the realm like a breeze.
The Golden Wheel—so mighty it could cleave planets—dispersed like sand in the wind.
Shin appeared beside Hamura, grabbing his throat mid-scream.
"You little bastard. Time to settle the score for what you did last time."
With a clawed strike, he crushed Hamura's spirit.
Pain unlike anything before wracked Hamura's form as his chakra, eye power, and soul were consumed.
His twin Tenseigan-Rinnegan glowed briefly before flickering out—absorbed entirely by Shin.
Shin's own Rinnegan pulsed violently. Now bolstered with the combined powers of both brothers, it shimmered with unearthly light.
The cooldown of Kotoamatsukami was now reduced to seconds. He could rewrite thoughts and alter memories even without Infinite Tsukuyomi.
And space… time…
Shin could now feel time.
He couldn't manipulate it yet—but its traces teased the edge of his perception.
"This must be the path… the path to becoming the God of Otsutsuki."
He floated upward, eyes half-closed in enlightenment.
"…Time-space… Urashiki Otsutsuki…"
A flicker of fury danced across Shin's features.
"That bastard's eye technique… I'll kill him. No matter what."
Suppressing the twitch in his heart, Shin looked toward the Pure Land realm—now quivering under his gaze.
"Become my domain—Amenominaka."
His pupil power unfurled like a net, enveloping the Pure Land completely.
With masterful ease, he compressed the Pure Land into a dimension within his Heavenly Center.
Now, he had seven worlds under his control.
"Too many worlds aren't useful," he muttered. "Time to try merging them…"
With a sigh, Shin raised his hand.
"Yomi Hirazan."
A pitch-black portal tore open, and Shin flew into it—returning to the physical world.
To the shinobi on the battlefield, he had vanished for mere seconds.
When he reappeared, everyone instinctively bowed their heads—none dared meet his gaze.
The Ten-Tails, now dormant, had begun transforming into the God Tree. The world's fate was drawing near.
"Shin… you—hey, you've already created the Ten-Tails?!" Tsunade appeared nearby, startled by the tremors and presence of the colossal beast.
She squinted at the giant entity.
"This is the legendary Ten-Tails? Looks so damn ugly!"
Shin raised an eyebrow, mildly amused.
"You came at the perfect time, Tsunade. A little earlier, and you might've seen your grandfather."
"W-What? My grandfather?!" Tsunade's jaw dropped, confusion etched across her face.
Shin didn't bother explaining.
His focus shifted.
"Kaguya, prepare yourself."
"Y-Yes! Ready!" Kaguya's spirit form bobbed up and down, eager.
Rolling up his sleeve, Shin revealed a strange seal tattooed onto his right arm. It glowed with a fiery hue.
"Data Compression."
All of Kaguya Otsutsuki's genetic and spiritual data, stored within Shin's body, compressed into a single signature.
He flew to the base of the budding God Tree, hovering before its colossal trunk.
"Data Loading."
Slamming his palm onto the bark, he injected Kaguya's essence directly into the divine organism.
