The battlefield lay in absolute silence. Ash drifted like snow, coating shattered earth and splintered trees. The wind whispered coldly, carrying the acrid scent of charred wood and scorched stone. Even in its stillness, the land seemed alive, trembling in anticipation.
From the wreckage, a figure stirred. Long dark hair tumbled over his shoulders as he straightened. His eyes, glowing with an intensity that could shatter steel, opened to the moonlight.
"…Am… Am I revived?" Madara Uchiha rasped, voice cracking with disbelief.
Warm blood coursed through him. The hollow certainty of Edo Tensei was gone. This was life—true life—and every heartbeat sang of power. A humming storm pulsed within, deep and unrelenting: Kaguya's essence, sealed inside him, simmering with seething potential.
So… life, and more than I could have imagined. The world is mine once again.
Then came the voice: cold, commanding, eternal.
"I am the Monarch. Seek the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan. Combine it with your own… and claim the eyes of the gods."
Madara's gaze sharpened. Sasuke… my key to absolute supremacy… they will all kneel before me.

Under the cloak of night, he moved toward Konoha. The village slept, bathed in soft lights. Through a small burger shop window, a boy with bright blond hair laughed with friends.
Boruto Uzumaki.
Madara sensed the boy's chakra, raw and unrefined, yet potent—ancient and dangerous. So, this is the next generation… interesting.
He reached forward.
A sudden blaze of orange and gold erupted before him.
"You won't touch my son," Naruto Uzumaki's voice roared, chakra flaring around him.
Madara smirked. Still the same obstinate man. Predictable… weak… amusing.
"If it's for my family, I'll never stop," Naruto said firmly, eyes blazing.
"Good," Madara replied. "Then breaking you will be sweeter."
---
The Forest of the Dead awaited. Shadows stretched across broken trunks, jagged branches clawing at the dim moonlight.
Boruto followed, Jōgan flaring uncontrollably. Sparks of energy seared his vision, raw power threatening to overwhelm him. I… I can't control this… but I won't run.
Kawaki moved beside him, Karma glowing. "Then fight anyway."
Madara's colossal purple Susanoo rose like a mountain, each step shaking the ground. Sasuke's blue Susanoo braced, blade poised, exhaustion dragging at him. I cannot fail. Everyone is counting on me… I must hold.
Naruto's golden chakra cloak blazed. I cannot let him hurt Boruto. I won't fail him—not like I failed before.
---
Shikamaru's shadow stretched across the battlefield, seizing trees and flinging them toward Madara. Hinata's Byakugan pierced the haze of chakra, guiding attacks. Kakashi's Raikiri tore through the air like lightning. This is Madara… again. He is stronger, but I must anticipate every move. We cannot falter.
Tsunade's fists smashed into the ground, cracks spiderwebbing across the earth. Killer B roared, Eight-Tails charging with a Tailed Beast Ball that hurled like a comet.
Might Guy, leg shattered, flared with the Eighth Gate. Pain twisted his face, but his spirit burned like a dying star. Every punch, every strike… must count.
For a fleeting moment, hope surged. Their combined might had cracked the surface of Madara's defenses.
---
But Madara only smiled. Dark chakra chains lashed outward, tearing Kurama from Naruto, Eight-Tails from Killer B, Karma from Kawaki. Boruto screamed, Jōgan flaring uncontrollably, raw energy threatening to backfire.
So… the cub bares his fangs at a god. Amusing.
Boruto's fists shook with effort. I can't control it… but I'll fight anyway… for Dad.
Naruto roared internally. Push through, Boruto! Focus… don't let him take you!
Sasuke's thoughts were cold and precise. Hold the line… shield them… I cannot let this world fall.
Kakashi analyzed every movement. Pattern, timing… anticipate. I must keep them alive.
Madara's thoughts rippled with divine calm. Pathetic mortals… struggling, clawing, flailing. Yet… persistent. The boy… intriguing. He might taste my interest.
---
The battlefield became a storm of energy. Rasenshuriken collided with Susanoo armor, sparks flying. Amaterasu black flames devoured the shattered ground. Guy and Bee coordinated strikes that splintered trees and rocks. Boruto's Jōgan flared wildly, energy burning through him.
I can see… almost… but not enough! Boruto thought.
Naruto barked tactical commands, voice raw: "Boruto! Stay close! Sasuke! Shield them!"
Sasuke spun his Susanoo, analyzing Madara's movements. He's stronger than I imagined… but I will protect them all, even if it costs me everything.
Kakashi, watching from the shadows, evaluated. If we falter now… everything dies. We can't make a mistake.
---
Then came the godly moment. Madara's left eye pulsed, glowing with unimaginable intensity. The one-eyed Eternal 16-Tomoe Rinnegan had awakened.
The air screamed. Trees splintered, earth cracked, and ash swirled in a violent storm. Above him, a giant magic circle radiated power, casting cosmic shadows across the battlefield.
Madara floated, godlike, every pulse of chakra shaking the land. Finally… absolute power. The world will bend before me.
Sasuke pushed his Susanoo to the limit, channeling his final strength. I have to protect everyone… no matter the cost.
Boruto's Jōgan flared uncontrollably. I can't control this… but I won't run. I have to fight.
Naruto, panting, glared. I will not fall. Boruto… stay strong.
---
Meteors fell. Chakra beams clashed. Guy, despite his broken leg, struck with the Eighth Gate's final force. Bee hurled another Tailed Beast Ball. Boruto and Kawaki assaulted the Susanoo's core together.
Madara thought coldly: Persistent, but futile. They are strong… yet powerless before a god.
Chakra chains lashed again, ripping powers from Naruto, Bee, and Kawaki. Boruto screamed, defying the pain. I will not yield… I will not!
---
The climax erupted. Madara's chakra surged, clashing with Susanoo energy. Forest shook violently, trees splintering, rocks cracking, ash spiraling skyward.
Sasuke's Susanoo shielded everyone from the worst of the blasts. This is the final wall… I must hold it… for them… for the world.
Finally, Madara vanished. The Forest of the Dead lay in ruins.
---
Naruto, weak but steady, placed a hand on Boruto's shoulder. "I've lost Kurama… but not my will. I will fight him, as long as I live."
Boruto's fists clenched. I couldn't control it… but I will stand. I am Boruto Uzumaki. I will be the wall he breaks on.
Sasuke placed his blade into the ground. "You are your own shape, Boruto. Remember that."
Kakashi caught his breath, surveying the battlefield. We survived… but this isn't over. He's just begun.
Madara's thoughts, from afar, were serene yet terrifying. The game has only begun. They cannot comprehend true power… yet their struggle is delicious.
---
Above the broken forest, the moon trembled in its shattered form—as if even the heavens feared that the age of gods had returned.
Section 1: The Resurrection
The battlefield lay in absolute silence. Ash drifted like snow, coating shattered earth and splintered trees. The wind whispered coldly, carrying the acrid scent of charred wood and scorched stone. Even in its stillness, the land seemed alive, trembling in anticipation.
From the wreckage, a figure stirred. Long dark hair tumbled over his shoulders as he straightened. His eyes, glowing with an intensity that could shatter steel, opened to the moonlight.

"I am the Monarch. Seek the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan. Combine it with your own… and claim the eyes of the gods."
Madara's gaze sharpened. Sasuke… my key to absolute supremacy… they will all kneel before me.
[Hook]: But what is this strange voice… and why does it claim I need more than I already possess?

Section 2: Night in Konoha
Under the cloak of night, he moved toward Konoha. The village slept, bathed in soft lights. Through a small burger shop window, a boy with bright blond hair laughed with friends.
Boruto Uzumaki.
Madara sensed the boy's chakra, raw and unrefined, yet potent—ancient and dangerous. So, this is the next generation… interesting.
He reached forward.
A sudden blaze of orange and gold erupted before him.
"You won't touch my son," Naruto Uzumaki's voice roared, chakra flaring around him.
Madara smirked. Still the same obstinate man. Predictable… weak… amusing.
"If it's for my family, I'll never stop," Naruto said firmly, eyes blazing.
"Good," Madara replied. "Then breaking you will be sweeter."
[Hook]: A clash between a god and a father… but who will falter first?
---
Section 3: Enter the Forest of the Dead
The Forest of the Dead awaited. Shadows stretched across broken trunks, jagged branches clawing at the dim moonlight.
Boruto followed, Jōgan flaring uncontrollably. Sparks of energy seared his vision, raw power threatening to overwhelm him. I… I can't control this… but I won't run.
Kawaki moved beside him, Karma glowing. "Then fight anyway."
Madara's colossal purple Susanoo rose like a mountain, each step shaking the ground. Sasuke's blue Susanoo braced, blade poised, exhaustion dragging at him. I cannot fail. Everyone is counting on me… I must hold.
Naruto's golden chakra cloak blazed. I cannot let him hurt Boruto. I won't fail him—not like I failed before.
[Hook]: Every step forward could be their last… the Forest of the Dead has eyes, and it waits for mistakes.

Section 4: The Allied Assault
Shikamaru's shadow stretched across the battlefield, seizing trees and flinging them toward Madara. Branches shattered on impact, splinters slicing the air like knives. Hinata's Byakugan pierced the haze of chakra, guiding attacks. Kakashi's Raikiri tore through the air like lightning. This is Madara… again. He is stronger, but I must anticipate every move. We cannot falter.
Tsunade's fists smashed into the ground, cracks spiderwebbing across the earth. Killer B roared, Eight-Tails charging with a Tailed Beast Ball that hurled like a comet. The ball exploded on contact, sending a shockwave that rattled the forest.
Might Guy, leg shattered, flared with the Eighth Gate. Pain twisted his face, but his spirit burned like a dying star. Every punch, every strike… must count. The ground cracked under his feet, a green flare of energy slicing the shadows.
For a fleeting moment, hope surged. Their combined might had cracked the surface of Madara's defenses.
[Hook]: But Madara smiles… and hope is never free from his grasp.
---
Section 5: Madara's Counterattack
But Madara only smiled. Dark chakra chains lashed outward:
Kurama was ripped from Naruto, screaming as his essence was consumed. The golden chakra burst like molten metal.
Eight-Tails was torn from Killer B, absorbed into the chains. Its roar echoed like thunder.
Karma was drained from Kawaki, Isshiki's power extinguished in a dark flash.
Boruto screamed, Jōgan flaring uncontrollably, raw energy threatening to backfire. Madara's chains lashed, attempting to siphon the Jōgan—but the eye resisted, remaining a mysterious, unreadable power.
So… the cub bares his fangs at a god. Amusing.
Boruto's fists shook with effort. I can't control it… but I'll fight anyway… for Dad.
Naruto roared internally. Push through, Boruto! Focus… don't let him take you!
Sasuke's thoughts were cold and precise. Hold the line… shield them… I cannot let this world fall.
Kakashi analyzed every movement. Pattern, timing… anticipate. I must keep them alive.
Madara's thoughts rippled with divine calm. Pathetic mortals… struggling, clawing, flailing. Yet… persistent. The boy… intriguing. He might taste my interest.
[Hook]: Boruto's Jōgan… the one eye that refuses to submit… will it turn the tide?
---
Section 6: The Storm of Battle
The battlefield became a storm of energy. Rasenshuriken collided with Susanoo armor, sparks flying. Amaterasu black flames devoured the shattered ground. Guy and Bee coordinated strikes that splintered trees and rocks. Energy clashed with such force that the air itself screamed. Boruto and Kawaki assaulted the Susanoo's core together.
I can see… almost… but not enough! Boruto thought.
Naruto barked tactical commands, voice raw: "Boruto! Stay close! Sasuke! Shield them!"
Sasuke spun his Susanoo, analyzing Madara's movements. He's stronger than I imagined… but I will protect them all, even if it costs me everything.
Kakashi, watching from the shadows, evaluated. If we falter now… everything dies. We can't make a mistake.
[Hook]: Every second counts… and a single misstep could end them all.
---
Section 7: Godly Power Awakened
Then came the godly moment. Madara's left eye pulsed, glowing with unimaginable intensity. The one-eyed Eternal 16-Tomoe Rinnegan had awakened. He touched Sasuke's Rinnegan, merging it with his own, while healing Sasuke's EMS with a new Eternal Mangekyō ability. The world was plunged into darkness as his divine eyes took full form.
The air screamed. Trees splintered, earth cracked, and ash swirled in a violent storm. Lightning tore across the sky, striking the ground like spears. Above him, a giant magic circle radiated power, casting cosmic shadows across the battlefield.
Madara floated, godlike, every pulse of chakra shaking the land. Finally… absolute power. The world will bend before me.
Sasuke pushed his Susanoo to the limit, channeling his final strength. I have to protect everyone… no matter the cost.
Boruto's Jōgan flared uncontrollably. I can't control this… but I won't run. I have to fight.
Naruto, panting, glared. I will not fall. Boruto… stay strong.
[Hook]: With godlike power awakened, can even the combined will of heroes hold him back?
---
Section 8: Climax and Aftermath
Meteors fell. Chakra beams clashed. Guy, despite his broken leg, struck with the Eighth Gate's final force. Bee hurled another Tailed Beast Ball. Boruto and Kawaki assaulted the Susanoo's core together. Rocks exploded, splintering like glass in the chaos.
Madara thought coldly: Persistent, but futile. They are strong… yet powerless before a god.
Chakra chains lashed again, ripping powers from Naruto, Bee, and Kawaki. Boruto screamed, defying the pain. I will not yield… I will not!
The climax erupted. Madara's chakra surged, clashing with Susanoo energy. Forest shook violently, trees splintering, rocks cracking, ash spiraling skyward. A shockwave hurled Boruto backward, flames licking the sky.
Sasuke's Susanoo shielded everyone from the worst of the blasts. This is the final wall… I must hold it… for them… for the world.
Finally, Madara vanished. The Forest of the Dead lay in ruins.
[Hook]: The storm has passed… but the true darkness has only begun to stir.

Section 9: Epilogue Thoughts
Naruto, weak but steady, placed a hand on Boruto's shoulder. "I've lost Kurama… but not my will. I will fight him, as long as I live."
Boruto's fists clenched. I couldn't control it… but I will stand. I am Boruto Uzumaki. I will be the wall he breaks on.
Sasuke placed his blade into the ground. "You are your own shape, Boruto. Remember that."
Kakashi caught his breath, surveying the battlefield. We survived… but this isn't over. He's just begun.
Madara's thoughts, from afar, were serene yet terrifying. The game has only begun. They cannot comprehend true power… yet their struggle is delicious.
Above the broken forest, the moon trembled in its shattered form—as if even the heavens feared that the age of gods had returned.
[Hook]: Next time… Madara returns, and the world will never be the same.
