The Infinite Tsukuyomi – Danzo Shimura.
The Fourth Shinobi World War was raging at this time.
Konoha suffered heavy losses and was forced into retreat due to the Third Hokage's mismanagement.
Just when it seemed they couldn't hold on any longer, someone offered a suggestion.
"At this critical moment, we have no choice but to ask that esteemed person to come out of seclusion!"
"Who is it, sir?"
"It's Lord Danzo, who voluntarily declined the position of Hokage and has been secretly and selflessly protecting the village!"
"It's Lord Danzo? I heard that he single-handedly ended the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars. If he really comes out of seclusion, the end will be for the other four great ninja villages."
The words of the Konoha ninjas made Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression very unpleasant.
I am Hokage!
Why are you all pinning your hopes on Danzo?
In what way am I inferior to him?
"Enough!"
"I am Hokage!"
"As long as I am here, Konoha will not be destroyed."
Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his fist on the table, hoping to intimidate everyone.
"Third Hokage, you were an unqualified Hokage. During your tenure, you experienced three Shinobi World Wars, and each time you were defeated miserably. If it weren't for Lord Danzo, Konoha would have been destroyed three times over."
"I really don't understand why Lord Danzo would give up the Hokage position to you. If he hadn't refused, would we have been suppressed and beaten by the other villages?"
"Third Hokage, you'd better step down and hand over the Hokage position to Lord Danzo. Otherwise, don't blame us for not giving you any face."
As everyone spoke, the idea of forcing a resignation was already brewing.
"cough--"
Just then, a soft cough came from outside, and then Shimura Danzo walked in.
"Lord Danzo!"
Upon seeing Danzo, everyone's eyes lit up with hope.
"Alright, stop pressuring Hiruzen here."
"I have no interest in the position of Hokage, but the ninja world really cannot continue to be in such chaos."
"Only by unifying the ninja world can peace be brought. You protect the Third Hokage, and I will deal with the other four Kage."
As Danzo spoke, he vanished in an instant.
"Danzo, you can't fight violence with violence, you'll regret it!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi roared in the direction Danzo had left.
However, when Danzo killed the other four Kage, he led the war to victory.
When the name of Konoha was used to unify the ninja world, Hiruzen Sarutobi had nothing more to say.
Danzo, who ended decades of chaos and unified the ninja world, is revered as the savior of the ninja world, with monuments erected and biographies written in his honor, and his name will be sung for eternity.
Danzo: "Hiruzen, you're the one who'll regret this!"
...
The Infinite Tsukuyomi - Kakashi Hatake.
"Raikiri!"
Inside the cave where Nohara Rin was captured, Kakashi saw a giant boulder about to fall from the sky. He gathered lightning in his hand and used the Raikiri to smash the boulder to pieces.
Obito, who had intended to rush up to save Kakashi, was stunned by the situation.
"Idiot Kakashi, didn't Minato-sensei say you couldn't use this technique?"
After a moment of surprise, Obito immediately spoke.
"The teacher said it shouldn't be used against the enemy, and the falling rocks won't suddenly retaliate against me."
Kakashi, who only had one eye left, said breathlessly.
A smile unconsciously crept onto his face, which was hidden by the mask.
Things have changed!
Obito wasn't crushed by the boulder!
When reinforcements from Iwagakure arrived, Minato Namikaze also arrived just in time.
With a single move, 'Spiralling Flash Super Round Dance Howl Style Three', he instantly killed all the Iwa ninja.
From this point on, the gears of fate began to turn.
Kakashi not only developed the Raikiri technique earlier, but he and Obito also thwarted Kirigakure's plan to capture Rin.
The Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage disappeared from that point on.
Obito and Rin's relationship is getting better and better.
Unlike others, Kakashi was very clear-headed from the very beginning.
He knew this was a dream, but he would rather never wake up from such a dream.
"Rin, Obito, teacher... I couldn't protect you in reality, but here, no tragedy will happen."
As the most lucid person, Kakashi was also the one least willing to wake up.
He is happy and joyful here; he loves this world.
Everything is wonderful.
...
outside world.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's strength increased day by day, thanks to her ability to travel through time and space, coupled with Black Zetsu's strategic advice.
She directly exploited a time loophole, spending decades or even centuries in the past or future before returning to the present five seconds later.
After making dozens of trips back and forth, she had cultivated dozens of Shinju fruits and transformed into the true—the God of the Otsutsuki.
Furthermore, the body of Shibai Ōtsutsuki was also found.
From this corpse, Kaguya deduced that Otsutsuki Shibai had long since abandoned his physical body, transcended dimensions, and was no longer playing with them.
To Shibai Ōtsutsuki, people in this dimension, whether ordinary beings or Otsutsuki, are nothing more than ants.
He wouldn't go to great lengths to scheme against ants; it's simply that this dimension couldn't contain him, so he left.
There were no conspiracies or schemes, and no lingering attachments.
"Mother, since he is no longer in this dimension, there is no need to create Otsutsuki weapons to deal with him, right?" Black Zetsu said.
"Black Zetsu, I'm leaving this dimension too. Do you have any wishes left?"
"While I'm still here, just say what you want!"
After consuming dozens of fruits from the Shinju, Kaguya Otsutsuki was able to, like Shibai Ōtsutsuki, abandon her physical body and transcend dimensions.
"Mother, let those who are under the Infinite Tsukuyomi live happily ever after!"
"In addition, I also want to go to Naruto's dream to be with him."
Black Zetsu glanced at the group enveloped by the Shinju and spoke.
"Alright, Mother will grant your wish."
Kaguya waved her hand, sending Black Zetsu into Naruto's body.
Immediately, the eye on his forehead twitched slightly, and Black Zetsu entered Naruto Uzumaki's dream.
...
Naruto, the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
"Hehehe—"
"Are you two thinking about me?"
After entering the dream, Black Zetsu appeared directly in Naruto's mental space and spoke.
"I knew something was missing, turns out it's Black Zetsu!"
"Wait, isn't Orochimaru missing?"
Naruto's eyes lit up when he saw Black Zetsu, while Kurama was thinking of Orochimaru.
Orochimaru?
"Why is he, an outsider, meddling in our affairs?"
"Naruto, Kurama, are you alright here?"
Black Zetsu said with a smile.
Orochimaru has his own unique dream world.
It's different from Naruto Uzumaki's interconnected dreams.
"Of course, you didn't see how awesome I was when I punched Madara Uchiha and stomped on Hashirama Senju!"
"Those two guys working together are no match for even one of my Nine-Tails fingers."
Nine-Tailed Fox proudly raised its head and said.
"This is the world I've always dreamed of. Black Zetsu, what are your dreams?"
Naruto Uzumaki didn't show off anything, but you could tell from his expression that he really liked it here.
"If I absolutely must have one, then I'll accompany you through this endless dream!"
(The End!)
