"What?!"
Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu blurted out in unison, utterly stunned.
"Even the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi can't penetrate it?!"
"Uchiha Chiyu… his Rinnegan ability Takamagahara, that Divine Kingdom domain, actually surpasses the Infinite Tsukuyomi?!"
"H‑how is that even possible…?"
Chiyu watched the unfolding scene with an indifferent gaze.
The sky abruptly turned to night, a full moon bathed the world in light, and the radiance of the Rinne Sharingan spread across the heavens. The Infinite Tsukuyomi was unleashed at last, plunging every living thing in the shinobi world into an illusory dream.
Then came God‑Tree World: Birth…
It was truly the wildest, most absurd spectacle imaginable.
Yet Chiyu's heart remained calm.
After all, everything was proceeding exactly as he had planned.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi—
Though it could pierce through all, its light would only last for a time.
When that time passed, the dazzling white brilliance faded.
By now, scarcely anyone in the entire ninja world was still conscious.
Besides Chiyu, only Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu, and the reanimated shinobi army remained awake—
the Infinite Tsukuyomi had no effect on the dead.
Madara felt his consciousness slowly blur.
But this sensation was not death—
He knew what dying felt like.
This was different.
It felt as if a gigantic black hole were devouring, dragging, and tearing at his very mind…
"Is that the power of the God Tree?"
"So it's true: by merging myself with the God Tree I did manage to launch the Infinite Tsukuyomi and realize the Eye of the Moon Plan, yet my own will is about to be swallowed and assimilated…"
"But that's fine. Becoming one with the God Tree has multiplied my strength many times over. Now—"
"Uchiha Chiyu can no longer stop me!"
Just then, Black Zetsu emerged at last.
He knew his scheme had reached completion…
Tilting his head to gaze at the towering God Tree, he listened to the deathly silence that had fallen across the shinobi world and could not help but feel boundless emotion.
"Finally… finally, the moment has come…"
"Over a thousand years…"
"Mother, at long last I can bring you back!"
Chiyu remained silent, calmly taking it all in.
Madara's face, however, changed dramatically.
"Black Zetsu, what nonsense are you spouting?!"
Black Zetsu laughed darkly.
"Madara, did you really think the Eye of the Moon Plan was the path to peace?"
"How naïve…"
Madara stared, thunderstruck.
"W‑what are you talking about?!"
"You're my creation, the embodiment of my will!"
Black Zetsu roared with laughter.
"You're wrong, Madara. The will I embody has only ever belonged to one being—my mother…"
"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya!"
"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya… the Sage of Six Paths' mother?!"
Black Zetsu continued: "By now, you've fused everything into one. Mother's will has already re‑awakened within your body and the God Tree…"
"She will devour the entire shinobi world's power, reclaim all the chakra that was scattered, and once more become the progenitor of chakra—an almighty deity!"
As he spoke, every ninja caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi had their chakra and life‑force sucked madly through the God‑Tree's vines, all flooding into the God Tree—
and into Madara's body!
The torrent of chakra was so monstrous that even an Uchiha could not endure it; guttural, agonized screams burst from his throat.
"Aaaaahhh!"
"Th‑this is—!"
Black Zetsu's laughter rang out.
"Awaken!"
"Progenitor of chakra, Rabbit Goddess, origin and end of all things—Almighty God…"
"Awaken… Mother!"
In that instant—
Vmm—
After expanding to its limit, the God Tree's trunk began to shrink, dragging Madara's fused body with it. Slowly a new form took shape: the vague silhouette of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya…
Despairing screams tore from Madara's lips; only now did he realize how utterly he had been deceived and used by Black Zetsu…
"How… could this happen…"
Black Zetsu crowed: "The Eye of the Moon Plan, the Infinite Tsukuyomi, God‑Tree World: Birth, the hunt for the Tailed Beasts—every step served but one purpose: Mother's resurrection!"
"Madara, you were nothing more than a pawn in my hand!"
"Just as you used Nagato and Obito, you too have always been used—by me!"
"Everything you accomplished was but a mirage, utterly meaningless!"
Madara's eyes went dark with hopelessness.
"I, Uchiha Madara… used by someone else…"
"Hashirama… have I been wrong all along?!"
His will drifted toward oblivion.
Suddenly comprehension dawned.
"Uchiha Chiyu—did you…"
"Did you foresee all of this?!"
Chiyu met his gaze impassively, but gave a slight nod.
Madara blanched, then laughed in sudden understanding.
"So that's it…"
Black Zetsu snapped, "Nonsense! No one knew my plan! How could you have predicted it?!"
"And if you truly were all‑knowing, why did my plan still succeed?!"
Chiyu replied coolly, "Because I allowed it to succeed."
"…Ridiculous windbag!"
Black Zetsu quickly regained his composure.
"Say what you like—it no longer matters."
"Mother is moments from revival. Whether you speak truth or lies is irrelevant…"
"No one can oppose her!"
"Not even you!"
Chiyu remained unmoved.
Madara burst into manic laughter.
"I see it now, Chiyu! You knew Black Zetsu's plot yet let it unfold because—you want Kaguya revived, don't you?!"
"And then you plan to defeat her with your own hands!"
Chiyu neither confirmed nor denied.
Madara, though on the brink of death, grew even more fervent.
"So that's why you never went all out against me—I thought you underestimated me, but you were just acting…"
"Hahaha!"
"Good—very good!"
"Black Zetsu, you schemed against me all my life, yet you too are being manipulated!"
"Even if you've beaten me, you—and your mother—will still fall to Uchiha Chiyu!"
Black Zetsu sneered, "Don't be naïve, Madara. Mother cannot lose to anyone!"
"You really believe Chiyu's nonsense?!"
"How could he possibly see through everything?"
Madara laughed louder. "Naïve one, that's you, Zetsu!"
"I noticed Chiyu's strange moves long ago…"
"While you were kept completely in the dark!"
"So be it…"
"Chiyu, I admit defeat. But…"
"Black Zetsu and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya—I leave them to you!"
With those words his body and will were wholly swallowed by the God Tree—now a part of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya herself…
As the chakra of those bound by the Infinite Tsukuyomi converged on the God Tree, Kaguya's figure became fully defined.
At the same time, Black Zetsu melded into the tree…
Rumble—
Rumble—
BOOM!
With a thunderous upheaval, all phenomena returned to their origin.
All chakra was recalled into a single point.
The God Tree vanished…
And Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was fully resurrected, descending upon the shinobi world!
Her form was immense and imposing. A cascade of white hair tumbled to the ground. Horns jutted from her brow, pure Byakugan eyes glowed, and on her forehead blazed the blood‑red Rinne Sharingan—the source of all ocular power in the ninja world.
Her skin was so pale it seemed bloodless; she wore a vast white robe dotted with tomoe, its billowing sleeves pitch‑black within as though housing a space unto themselves, where Black Zetsu lurked in the darkness.
Yet—
Even so, Kaguya was ethereally beautiful—cold, emotionless, more a force of nature than a living being.
Her majesty was innate, as if fused with the heavens and earth themselves.
Sensing her power felt like sensing the power of the entire world:
grand, boundless, inexhaustible—beyond imagination.
…
Chiyu felt a stir in his heart as he gazed at her.
This would be the final battle—
the only foe who could let him fight to his heart's content!
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya!
"Mother, after a thousand years, you're finally reborn!"
Kaguya tested her strength, yet frowned slightly.
"No…"
"This is not my full power."
"That man still carries terrifying chakra within him!"
"I must reclaim it all!"
Black Zetsu chuckled. "Precisely, Mother!"
"That man is your last—and only—obstacle to ruling once more!"
"Once he is dead, the whole shinobi world will be your garden!"
"His name is…"
"Uchiha Chiyu!"
…
Kaguya gauged the power concealed in Chiyu and frowned.
"His bloodline isn't especially pure—merely a branch descended from Indra…"
"Yet why is the chakra within him so immense?"
Black Zetsu's face tightened.
"Mother, that man defies common sense. The way he gains power is unfathomable and his growth speed unbelievable…"
"He truly is a fearsome enemy."
"But…"
"No matter how strong, he cannot match you!"
Kaguya let out a cold laugh.
"Of course."
"The end of all things has arrived…"
"I shall reclaim the chakra and power within you and rule the world anew!"
"However…"
"Not here!"
The next instant—
Vmm—
The Rinne Sharingan on Kaguya's brow erupted with unimaginable might!
In a flash, the world before Chiyu's eyes transformed!
Amenominaka—
Kaguya's unique Kekkei Mōra ability, one of the greatest space‑time jutsu!
In an instant she swapped dimensions, changing heaven and earth!
This was Kaguya's desert dimension within Amenominaka:
a boundless, endless expanse of yellow sand stretching beyond sight—the very world where she once cast Uchiha Sasuke.
Chiyu looked around and nodded.
It had come.
His final battle—the clash where he could finally unleash his power to the utmost!
A fight he had long anticipated!
He had been invincible for far too long…
Even when he wanted to go all out, there had been no opponent worthy of him.
Until now…
…
Kaguya roared. In a heartbeat the desert world writhed—sand surged skyward, a frenzied sandstorm flooded the entire dimension, crashing down to crush Chiyu!
Chiyu's brow twitched, yet a smile tugged at his lips.
Good!
At last, power worthy of the name—an enemy worthy of him!
He knew this was one of Kaguya's powers:
Oneness with Nature—
melding herself with the very realm, controlling all within, making the land itself an extension of her body.
Its concept echoed Ryūchidō's Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation, but the scale, power, and range were incomparably greater.
In an instant Kaguya had conjured a sandstorm that filled an entire world!
Before Chiyu loomed a colossal demon‑like force spanning the desert.
His Takamagahara had not yet recovered, so in that split‑second he unleashed his Complete‑Body Susanoo to withstand the sandstorm's assault.
Even so, the roar of sand and shriek of wind battered at his defenses as though he had been swallowed by a demon's maw.
Yet—
Chiyu sneered.
Within the protection of his Susanoo he lifted his right hand, borrowing Shukaku's power for a moment and likewise claiming the desert as his domain!
"Sacred Sage Art! Wind Release: Infinite Sand Cloud - Great Breakthrough!"
Building on Shukaku's wind‑style sand manipulation and fusing it with the Sacred Sage Arts of the three great sanctuaries, he unleashed power beyond imagining!
At once—
Rumble—
Rumble—
BOOM!
A maelstrom of sand and gales recoiled, surging back upon Kaguya in a sweeping counterattack!
"Mm?!"
"That's… senjutsu?!"
"But how can it be this powerful?!"
Kaguya knew of Sage Art—Hagoromo had trained with the toads and fought her using senjutsu.
Yet even his Sage Art paled before what stood now.
In an instant the two raging forces collided, tearing a massive fissure through the desert realm, a chasm so deep its bottom could not be seen!
"He can even contend with Mother's Oneness with Nature!"
"How can Uchiha Chiyu's power be this terrifying?!" Black Zetsu gasped.
Kaguya's expression shifted.
"No wonder he could resist the Infinite Tsukuyomi. This man is truly extraordinary!"
With sand swirling all around, Kaguya and Chiyu were utterly unhindered; they hurtled toward each other once more.
Within his Susanoo, Chiyu swung the enormous chakra blade down at Kaguya!
His Complete‑Body Susanoo was infused with Eternal Mangekyō, the Rinnegan, and the Sacred Sage Arts of the three great realms—
its might was unimaginable!
Even Kaguya dared not underestimate it.
She unleashed her ultimate taijutsu:
"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"
Instantly—
Rumble—
Rumble—
BOOM!
Countless gigantic chakra fists materialized like mountain peaks, releasing power sufficient to shake heaven and earth.
As an all‑round technique, it was peerless in offense and defense; its destructive potential surpassed even the Eight Gates Released.
Kaguya's Eighty Gods clashed with the Susanoo's Sage chakra blade, and for a moment—
heaven and earth quaked, sun and moon lost their light!
The shockwave ripped through the realm: the sky itself seemed torn open, riddled with holes; the ground was shredded, the entire sand sea blasted apart as though doomsday had come!
The outcome of that tremendous clash—
was a near tie!
Though bolstered by Sacred Sage power, Chiyu's Susanoo was driven back a thousand meters by the Eighty Gods.
Yet Kaguya too was repelled by the blade's recoil, her body flung back with a muffled grunt.
Kaguya's face darkened.
"To match my Eighty Gods—?!"
"His power is simply absurd!"
Chiyu, though sent flying, wore a look of fervor and blazing pride; his fighting spirit soared.
"Excellent!"
For the first time in ages he felt the thrill and joy of battle—
utterly exhilarating!
"Come, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya!"
"Sacred—Divine‑Thunder Light Cannon!"
Combining Sacred Sage Art, the Susanoo's Yasaka Magatama, and the most extreme lightning‑style, he forged his ultimate long‑range strike!
In a flash—
a beam of searing light capable of blinding struck out, exploding across the thousands of meters separating him from Kaguya!
In that moment—
even Kaguya felt a flicker of dread.
"Th‑that power… what is it?!"
