"The Five Kage Summit has temporarily concluded here. What remains is for the Jōnin of each major village to communicate with other villages and discuss the specific formation plan for the ninja allied forces. Knowing that the Fourth Great Ninja War is imminent, the ninjas of each village are incredibly busy. During this period, the busiest person is not Kaoru, the Sixth Hokage, but rather Konoha's strategist: Shikaku Nara. As a ninja skilled in strategic thinking, Kaoru directly sent him to represent Konoha Village in negotiations with other villages, so he has been largely absent from the village these past few days."
"Forming a ninja allied force is no small matter. It's likely that just discussing the specifics will take several days. Meanwhile, the Akatsuki organization has been remarkably quiet during the formation of the ninja allied forces. It seems they are simply waiting for the allied forces to be fully assembled, exuding an aura of complete fearlessness towards them."
"Meanwhile, at the top of a waterfall in the Land of Rivers."
"Uchiha Madara, clad in deep crimson battle armor, sat on a rock smoothed by the waterfall. His long black hair cascalled wildly, and his purple, oddly patterned Rinnegan eyes flickered with an unfathomable light."
"'Uchiha Kaoru… truly an impressive name…'"
"As if muttering to himself, or perhaps to someone else, Uchiha Madara's expression flickered with a complex and unreadable emotion."
"'Uchiha Obito is dead…'"
"A somewhat muffled voice came. Zetsu, dressed in black and possessing two faces, black and white, appeared before Madara, a strange emotion in his eyes."
"'Dead… That's understandable. Facing such an overwhelmingly powerful force… even my reanimated body was almost annihilated…'"
"Hearing the news from Zetsu, Madara showed no signs of sadness or negative emotions. Instead, his expression was terrifyingly calm. 'It's his own fault for being too foolish. He had such a perfect defensive ocular ninjutsu, yet he didn't know how to use it properly and still died…'"
"'No, that's not quite right…' Hearing Madara's words, White Zetsu shook his head. 'Uchiha Kaoru… mastered a way to enter Obito's dimension, which is why Obito had nowhere to escape…'"
"'Oh… Kaoru has reached that level already…' His tone remained as nonchalant as ever, but the unconsciously clenched fists and the slightly surprised expression on his face betrayed Uchiha Madara's unsettled heart."
"'There's one more thing. Obito's trip to the Five Kage Summit wasn't just to declare war. He even brought Hashirama Senju and other former Kage with him, seemingly with other plans. However, due to Kaoru's involvement, even the God of Shinobi Hashirama Senju was defeated by Kaoru…' Black Zetsu said coldly at this moment."
"'Hashirama Senju was even…' Uchiha Madara's face finally showed a look of shock as he sat on the rock."
"'You should have been able to guess, shouldn't you? After all, even you, who awakened the Rinnegan, were defeated by Uchiha Kaoru…' Black Zetsu responded calmly to Madara's surprise, a hint of mockery in his eyes."
"'Hmph, if that's the case, then you already knew Uchiha Obito brought Hashirama Senju to the Five Kage Summit and had other plans. Why didn't you tell me?' Uchiha Madara changed the subject and asked."
"'I thought you should have known…' Black Zetsu's expression remained profound, making it impossible for even Madara to fathom. 'After all, I am merely the will you created, am I not?'"
"It's good that you understand that…' Madara replied coldly. 'If you do anything that dissatisfrates me even slightly… I can make you disappear from this world immediately!!!"
"'It's good that you understand that…' Madara replied coldly. 'If you do anything that dissatisfies me even slightly… I can make you disappear from this world immediately!!!'"
"'Of course, of course…' Hearing Uchiha Madara's words, Black Zetsu nodded repeatedly. However, his expression was unreadable, a mix of fear of Uchiha Madara and perhaps a hint of mockery…"
...
"In Konoha Village, on a quiet night."
"Due to the busy affairs of forming the ninja allied forces, the Hokage building was still brightly lit. The Jōnin of Konoha gathered to discuss the personnel allocation for this great war. As the Hokage of Konoha Village, Kaoru naturally took on the responsibility. However, under these circumstances, he still managed to steal some leisure time. He only sent out a shadow clone to handle official duties, while he himself went to his courtyard at home to relax alone."
"It was already late at night. Wan'er had already gone to sleep, but Kaoru was looking at the full moon in the sky, deep in thought."
"Everything was proceeding exactly according to Kaoru's plan. As long as he defeated Uchiha Madara and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, he would be the sole ruler of this Naruto world…"
Thinking of this, Kaoru's expression suddenly became serious. He looked at the moon in the sky and remembered something.
"His enemies… seemed to be more than just Uchiha Madara and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. On the moon lived the descendants of Hamura Ōtsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother."
"Moreover, in a few years, Toneri Ōtsutsuki would appear on Earth to abduct Hinata. In order to fuse and evolve his Byakugan, he would unlock the next stage of the Byakugan: the Tenseigan. Such a person… could be considered a half-opponent for now."
"However, since he had thought of this, Kaoru wasn't going to wait obediently for Toneri Ōtsutsuki to come knocking in a few years. It would be better to resolve him now. Anyway… he should now have a way to reach the moon directly…"
"Magical Journey!!!"
Kaoru waved his right hand, and a golden portal, inscribed with some runes, reappeared before them. The other end of the golden portal showed constantly changing scenery, seemingly various spaces.
"I didn't expect there to be so many spaces around the Naruto world…" Kaoru frowned, looking at the constantly changing spaces at the other end of the golden portal. Which one led to the moon? He would have to find out himself…
Kaoru's scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan spun with mysterious light, unleashing his infinite ocular power to its limit.
Gazing at the vast and numerous spaces layered like the sands of the Ganges at the other end of the golden portal, Kaoru carefully searched for the location of the moon's space.
Since Kaoru had never personally seen the moon's space-time dimension, finding it among the countless vast and hazy spaces would not be easy.
Moreover, most of these spaces were space-time rifts. If he entered one by mistake, it would be difficult to escape…
"The space on the moon should be relatively desolate…"
Kaoru speculated inwardly and began searching based on this condition.
"Could it be here?"
After a thorough search, Kaoru's eyes finally landed on a world of pure white snow, filled with ice and snow everywhere. It seemed much larger than any other space-time dimension.
"This space isn't completely dark. It shouldn't be a space-time rift. In any case… let's go take a look first…" Although he wasn't sure if the other end of the golden portal led to the moon, Kaoru focused his gaze on the ice and snow-covered space-time dimension in the void and then stepped into the golden portal…
Kaoru instantly disappeared from the summer courtyard. The golden portal closed, as if nothing had happened…
...
"In an alternate dimension."
"Everything around was a scene of white snow, with large snowflakes continuously falling from the sky."
"Apart from the surrounding environment being completely covered in ice and snow, there were distant snow-capped mountains and frozen rivers. Everything was like the South Pole on Earth."
"'I finally succeeded in entering…'"
"In the silent snowy landscape, a figure suddenly appeared. Black short hair, still wearing the Hokage's ceremonial robe, it was Kaoru, who had just arrived."
"'Coming here consumed quite a bit of chakra…'"
