[Infinite Tsukuyomi]

When the Rock ball grew so large that everyone's eyelids twitched, its suction force reached its limit.

Even at an altitude of over 1,000 meters, the damage to the earth became even more severe.

The shattered earth became larger and larger, and the surrounding mountains disintegrated directly, breaking into countless fragments of rock and soil that quickly drifted into the sky, gathering on the outer layer of the Rock sphere and adding to its structure.

What was once a flat battlefield is now riddled with depressions and cracks of all sizes, and the surrounding mountains have lost countless clods of soil and Rock.

The Ninja on the battlefield were all terrified, for they too were being dragged along by the suction force.

At first, the Ninja weren't panicked; they were able to find various ways to anchor themselves to the ground.

However, when the suction force of Chibaku Tensei became strong enough to tear the earth apart, the Ninja ' anchors broke down along with them, turning Ninja into kites with broken strings, and naturally, they could no longer control their own destiny.

Fortunately, Shazo magnetized each Ninja with [Electromagnetic Control], making them attracted to the earth's magnetic field, even strong enough to counteract the suction force of Chibaku Tensei.

The three individuals he bestowed with magnetic power were Uchiha Tajima, Uchiha Izuna, and Uchiha Chiri, who were originally Impure World Reincarnation who belonged to Madara Uchiha's camp.

These three, along with Uchiha Izumi and Shisui Uchiha, chatted and laughed as they arrived at the battlefield, only to be nearly sucked up and sealed by Chibaku Tensei.

Uchiha Tajima couldn't help but mutter, "Madara is indeed quite capable, but how come he still does things so haphazardly, always neglecting the essentials?"

Uchiha Izuna couldn't help but retort, "Father, my brother doesn't know we've returned here; he thinks we went to Konoha."

Uchiha Tajima knew he had said the wrong thing, but the old man just kept grumbling and wouldn't admit it.

At this point, Uchiha Izumi had no time to care about this old man. She used her [Magnet Style] and Shazo's [Electromagnetic Control] to...

They were connected, directly opening up a dialogue of Mind Stone.

[Brother, how is it?]

[Everything is under control; Madara Uchiha is about to unleash his final attack.]

[Quan, beware of illusions, don't be deceived.]

Yes, I'm ready too.

Uchiha Izumi turned to everyone and shouted, "Chibaku Tensei is almost over! Prepare to defend against the blast!"

At this moment, the Rock spheres gathered by the Chibaku Tensei had risen to an altitude of about 2,000 meters, and had accumulated countless Rock fragments, forming a giant meteorite.

As Chibaku Tensei exhausted its Chakra, the suction force of the technique also ended completely. As a result, the meteorite lost its special property of resisting gravity and began to fall towards the ground.

Shazo also promptly released the Electromagnetic Force from the Ninja, allowing them to quickly find cover to avoid the impact of his destruction of the natural [Tengai Shinsei].

There was no way around it; the distance was simply too close this time, and even he couldn't take care of everyone.

Shazo's Chakra boiled and rapidly transformed into gas.

At the same time, he clasped his hands together, letting them hang down at his Right Side waist, and then pushed them upwards, using his right arm as the main support and his left arm as the auxiliary, to unleash the [Kamehameha].

The energy blast from the shockwave instantly struck the stone sphere created by Chibaku Tensei, destroying its physical structure with absolute force and also destroying the core Sealing Technique technique.

The entire stone sphere instantly lost its cohesion, and the Rock that were already being violently impacted by the [Kamehameha] exploded even more violently at this moment.

Boom-!

Like a taut cable suddenly snapping, the giant stone sphere exploded.

The force of the explosion was so violent that the Rock gathered by the stone spheres were instantly crushed into powder.

The powder was then ignited by the high temperature, burning into an unimaginably huge Fireball at an altitude of about 1,000 meters.

The impact of the Kamehameha, the disintegration of the Chibaku Tensei, and the high-temperature expansion of the burning stone powder created an Liao Kong impact on the ground.

The uneven ground was instantly flattened and sunken down by more than 30 meters.

Fortunately, all the Ninja on the battlefield were Kage-level Ninja, powerful and experienced, who had already escaped the battlefield a step ahead; otherwise, they would have been crushed to pieces, their flesh and blood merging into the earth.

The only one who wasn't Kage-level Ninja, Uchiha Tajima, was sandwiched between Shisui Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna, who used two Susanoo shield him from the shockwave of the explosion.

Another severely injured man, Might Guy, who was unable to care for himself, was taken away by the Second Hokage and Fourth Hokage. He was faster and ran farther than anyone else.

Only Uchiha Izumi remained.

Because she believed that Shazo's side was the safest place in the Ninja World, she was able to calmly face the explosion of the stone ball and even appreciate the cool scene of this terrifying explosion.

The feeling of being amidst the terror of a village being wiped out, yet simultaneously experiencing the beauty of being there and feeling completely safe, filled Uchiha Izumi's heart with happiness.

"So beautiful."

Hearing his wife's words, Shazo turned to look at her and asked, "Are you ready?"

Uchiha Izumi scoffed, "Hmph, of course. But I wouldn't know about Tsunade and Tenten."

Shazo: "They are ready."

Uchiha Izumi's good mood and happiness vanished instantly. She inhaled, stepped back, charged forward, and slammed her head into Shazo's lower back. "You damned pervert!"

The young couple were playfully bickering below, while the Ninja scattered and fled using various methods. Finally, Madara Uchiha in the sky made his final decision.

Madara Uchiha concentrated the power of his Rinnegan on his forehead. Amidst intense pain, a circular hole was dissolved in his brow bone by Chakra, and a blood-red Rinne Sharingan emerged from under his skin.

Unlike Shazo, who gradually accumulated strength from the bottom up, paying close attention to the mutation and movement of glands throughout the process, and eventually became the Rinne Sharingan with Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan, Madara Uchiha forcibly activated the Rinne Sharingan by converting the Ten-Tails ' Chakra into ocular power while completely ignorant.

This thing has a major inherent flaw, or rather, it is not Madara Uchiha's organ in essence, but rather an organ that Kaguya Otsutsuki copied onto Madara Uchiha through the Ten-Tails.

As the name suggests, the Rinne Sharingan is essentially Sharingan with the characteristics of the Rinnegan, at most a bankrupt version of the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan.

Even so, the excessively rapid mutation severely damaged Madara Uchiha's body, destroying all his potential and leaving him with no chance to improve again in this lifetime.

It could even be said that this is Madara Uchiha's peak, and he will gradually weaken in the future, with no possibility of recovery.

Of course, he no longer had the chance.

Madara Uchiha was unaware of all this; he only knew that everything was true, and that he was following the path left by the Sage of Six Paths, step by step, approaching the Main Gate to ultimate success.

Ignoring his splitting headache and the faint weakness emanating from his body, he poured all the Chakra he could control, the power of his Rinnegan, and the Ten-Tails 'Chakra into the Rinne Sharingan between his eyebrows.

[Outer Path - Infinite Tsukuyomi]

Madara Uchiha projected the power of his Rinne Sharingan onto the surface of the moon. This unprecedented, massive Ninjutsu cleared away the diffraction of the atmosphere, turning the blue sky of daytime into a clear night sky.

The sun, stars, and moon appeared in the sky at the same time, each shining brightly.

This the Miracle scene stunned all living beings in the Ninja World; everyone looked up at the sky in disbelief.

Some people had their eyes burned by the direct sunlight, but the vast majority of people saw the moon immediately and couldn't take their eyes off it.

The entire moon has transformed into an enormous, red giant eye, appearing so vividly red and eerie!

Those who are emotionally sensitive can even see sadness, desolation, and other poignant feelings in the Eye of the Moon!

Only the Kage-level Ninja near the battlefield, and specifically the Uchiha members with the Mangekyō Sharingan, knew that the Eye of the Moon was exactly the same as the Rinne Sharingan on Madara's forehead!

Uchiha Tajima was furious. "Damn it, is Madara's brain full of Chakra?"

"I was completely infatuated with Hashirama Senju since I was a child, and now I'm being fooled by some monster who appeared out of nowhere!"

"How can anyone lie to him?"

Uchiha Izuna looked at his father awkwardly, wanting to say something in defense of his brother, but he didn't know what to say.

Shisui Uchiha murmured, "In the end, he still couldn't stop Madara Uchiha— "

Kagami Uchiha, who was waiting for them outside the battlefield, comforted his grandson, saying, "Shisui, don't blame yourself too much. Madara Uchiha's strength was too great; you simply couldn't stop him."

"We should now trust the Fifth Hokage."

Shisui nodded. "Yes, Grandpa is right. We can trust the Fifth Hokage."

"He saved the Uchiha Clan nine years ago, and Konoha five years ago. This time, he will surely be able to save the Ninja World as well."

Tobirama Senju sighed, "In the end, we were still unable to stop it, brother. We have failed."

Hashirama Senju, however, didn't take it to heart. "Tobirama, as Shazo once said, each generation has its own mission and its own responsibilities."

"Our defeat doesn't mean Konoha has failed. We still have the Fifth Hokage Shazo."

Minato Namikaze chuckled, "I think the Fifth Hokage is very confident. He hasn't used his full strength yet, so he must have a special plan."

Tobirama Senju sneered, "That kid is definitely plotting something. My only worry is that this time, Konoha won't be used as a price to pay."

Might Guy patted the small Katsuyu on his body and said, "I believe in the Fifth Hokage; he certainly won't let Konoha become the price."

Busy distributing small slugs to heal the Ninja and replenish their Chakra, Tsunade said, "Don't worry, I gambled before I came and lost a billion ryo in one go. This war will be no problem at all."

Hashirama Senju stared in disbelief. "1 billion ryo? Where did you get that money?"

Tobirama Senju's eyebrows furrowed so tightly they could trap a fly. "Tsunade, you didn't steal village funds, did you?"

Tsunade bulged with anger. "Nonsense! Do you think I'm that reckless?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, even the Fifth Mizukage and the Fifth Kazekage.

Who in the Ninja World doesn't know about Tsunade's reputation for gambles that yield Big Fat Sheep?

It's only natural to say she would embezzle public funds for gambling; a gambling addict driven to desperation by losses is capable of anything.

If she could defeat Shazo, she might even be able to gamble away the Fifth Hokage.

Finally realizing the true extent of her reputation, Tsunade became utterly dejected. She weakly explained, "I really didn't steal it; Shazo gave it to me."

He said, "Tsunade, your gambling luck is the National Fortune Balancer Konoha's national destiny, yet you lost this billion. We will definitely win this war—"

Jiraiya Satori, "So that's how it is! That makes perfect sense."

Hashirama Senju breathed a sigh of relief, "How could I have forgotten that? The Fifth Hokage was very thoughtful."

Cheerful laughter rang out from the crowd, filling the air with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.

"Bang"

"Bang"

Tsunade punched both her grandfather and Jiraiya, knocking them both to the ground.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Shazo Zuo pulled Uchiha Izumi into his arms, looked up at the blood-red full moon on the horizon, and murmured, "Finally, I've seen this Eye of the Moon. It wasn't easy—"

Uchiha Izumi hugged her husband tightly, inhaling his scent, and whispered, "I hope we can both avoid [Infinite Tsukuyomi] and [The Deep Forest Emergence], so I can fight alongside you."

"If I'm unfortunately caught in Genjutsu, you must protect yourself."

"With you here, we all still have hope. If you fail too, the entire Ninja World is doomed."

Shazo Zuo replied confidently, "Don't worry, I won't fail."

Uchiha Izumi held him in her arms and remained silent for a very long time.

Suddenly, she said, "If it's absolutely necessary, I... I can accept Kaguya as my older sister—"

Shazo:

The Fifth Hokage dared not speak again. This was a question of death; no matter how he answered, it would still mean certain death.

After waiting a few more breaths, Shazo suddenly said, "They're here."

Uchiha Izumi released Shazo, stood up straight, and looked up at the sky.

Even from a great distance, she could vaguely sense the immense, countless power of her eyes surging down from the direction of the Eye of the Moon, like a tidal wave in a starry sea.

That power was incomparably strong, far stronger than when Madara Uchiha activated his technique, and even hundreds of times stronger wouldn't be enough to describe it.

Uchiha Izumi, through her Mangekyō Sharingan, vaguely sensed that there seemed to be an immense will on the moon, which was slowly awakening.

At this moment, the Ninja of the Five Great Nations gathered in Konoha, the Ninja scattered in the smaller countries, ordinary people throughout the Ninja World, the Toad and tadpoles of Mount Myōboku, and countless Katsuyu of Shikkotsu Forest, all looked up at the Eye of the Moon in the sky.

Even the Snake Sage and the giant snake in Ryūchi Cave looked up in the direction of the Eye of the Moon, as if the heavy Rock could not block the light of the Eye of the Moon.
