Su Ye gazed at the horizon where the red light had dissipated, the pale purple runes within his Rinne Sharingan spinning rapidly. The residual spatial energy left by Ying Zhishui had not yet fully faded, and mixed within it was a trace of unfamiliar chakra fluctuations. It belonged to no known clan in the ninja world, nor did it possess the wild ferocity of a Tailed Beast; instead, it carried a cold, nihilistic sensation as if it were devouring everything in its path.

"This power..." Su Ye condensed a wisp of chakra at his fingertip and touched the energy lingering in the air, only for it to be instantly half-devoured. "I must determine its source as soon as possible." He turned to look at Tsunade. "Grandma Tsunade, I leave the defense of Konoha to you. I am going to Mount Myoboku; perhaps the Toad Sage's prophecy can provide us with answers."

Tsunade nodded, her face weary from the recent great battle, yet her eyes remained resolute. "Rest assured, I will coordinate with the ninjas of all villages to reinforce the barrier. Naruto is already patrolling the border with the Tailed Beasts, and they will report any anomalies immediately. You must be careful on your way; the aura of that red light is definitely not something benevolent."

Su Ye acknowledged her with a nod, turned, and transformed into a streak of light, flying toward Mount Myoboku. Just as he cleared the borders of Konoha, the surrounding space suddenly twisted. The clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark purple mist, the forest beneath his feet vanished, and in its place was a desolate, alien dimension. The ground was covered in bottomless fissures from which black mist continuously surged, condensing into countless Demon Eater phantoms that lunged toward Su Ye.

"A spatial trap." Su Ye's pupils contracted. He pushed his Rinne Sharingan to its limit, forming a barrier of pale purple chakra to hold the Demon Eater phantoms at bay. However, these phantoms were entirely different from the previous ones; their bodies were covered in a layer of dark gold scales, and their claws shimmered with the light of spatial power. With a single swipe, they actually left cracks upon his chakra barrier.

"It seems they were well-prepared." Su Ye let out a cold snort and formed hand seals. "Rinne: Banshō Ten'in!" A massive gravitational field formed from pale purple chakra, pulling all the surrounding Demon Eater phantoms toward him. Immediately following this, a flash of light crossed his eyes. "Rinne: Rinne Space Exile!" A spatial vortex manifested before him, sucking all the Demon Eater phantoms into its depths.

Yet, at that very moment, the space shook violently, and a dark gold spatial blade struck from behind. Su Ye reacted with lightning speed, dodging to the side as the blade grazed his shoulder, leaving a deep trench in the ground. He turned to look and saw a figure similar to Ying Zhishui appearing not far away, his body wreathed in even more powerful dark gold chakra.

"Who are you?" Su Ye asked coldly.

The figure chuckled, his voice raspy and frigid. "I am the vanguard of the alien dimension; you may call me Ying Sha. I was ordered to wait here for you, Su Ye." As the words fell, Ying Sha flashed, appearing instantly before Su Ye, his dark gold chakra condensing into sharp claws aimed directly at his Rinne Sharingan.

Su Ye immediately channeled his spatial power, his body turning into a blur to evade the attack. At the same time, he condensed his chakra, and pale purple chakra chains shot from his hands, lashing out toward Ying Sha. Ying Sha did not dodge or parry; the space around him twisted, and the chakra chains passed through his body without causing any damage.

"Spatial intangibility?" Su Ye's brows furrowed, his Rinne Sharingan spinning rapidly as he attempted to find a flaw in Ying Sha's defense. Seeing this, Ying Sha's lips curled into a sneer. "It is useless. In this alien dimension, my spatial power is absolute. You will not escape today!"

Having said that, Ying Sha formed hand seals, and the surrounding space began to shatter, sending countless spatial blades shooting toward Su Ye. Su Ye took a deep breath, pushing the power of his Rinne Sharingan to the extreme, forming a massive protective dome of pale purple chakra. Simultaneously, spatial runes emerged within his eyes as he began to analyze the rules of this alien dimension.

"Since you can manipulate the space here, then I shall destroy it." Su Ye roared, forming hand seals. "Rinne: Samsara: Space Collapse!" Pale purple chakra surged into the ground, and the entire alien dimension began to vibrate violently. The fissures on the ground widened continuously, and the black mist became chaotic. Ying Sha's expression changed drastically. "You're insane! If you destroy this dimension, you will be caught in the spatial turbulence!"

"And so what?" Su Ye's gaze was firm. "As long as I can stop you, this price is nothing." As he spoke, he increased his chakra output, and the rate of the dimension's collapse accelerated. Seeing this, Ying Sha was forced to abandon his attack to focus entirely on maintaining the stability of the dimension. However, Su Ye's power far exceeded his expectations; as the pale purple chakra flooded in like a tidal wave, spatial turbulence began to erupt from the fissures.

"Damn it!" Ying Sha roared, forced to retreat from the alien dimension. The moment he departed, the dimension collapsed entirely, and Su Ye was swept into the spatial turbulence. He activated his Rinne Sharingan, searching for an exit amidst the chaos. After an unknown amount of time, he finally spotted a light, flew toward it with all his might, and eventually landed in a familiar forest.

"This is..." Su Ye looked up to see the characters "Mount Myoboku" carved into the distant mountain peak, and his heart eased. He stood up, brushed the dust from his clothes, and walked toward the depths of Mount Myoboku. Just as he reached the Toad Sage's residence, he saw Sage Fukasaku standing at the entrance.

"Su Ye, you have arrived." Sage Fukasaku spoke, his voice carrying a hint of gravity. "I have already seen your encounter through prophecy. That power from the alien dimension originates from a place called the 'Void Realm.' The creatures there survive by devouring worlds, and Ying Zhishui was merely their vanguard."

Su Ye's heart sank. "Then is the goal of the Void Realm to destroy our world?"

Sage Fukasaku nodded. "Indeed. Furthermore, their leader possesses strength far beyond your imagination. However, the prophecy also mentions that you, Sasuke, and Naruto will be the keys to saving the world." As he spoke, he handed Su Ye a crystal. "This is the prophecy crystal left by the Toad Sage; it contains more information regarding the Void Realm. See for yourself."

Su Ye took the crystal and channeled his chakra into it, causing images to emerge. In the visions, the leader of the Void Realm led countless Demon Eater Lords as they devoured world after world. Finally, the image froze on the ninja world, with Su Ye, Sasuke, and Naruto fighting side by side in a final battle against the leader of the Void Realm.

"So that is how it is." Su Ye put away the crystal, his eyes resolute. "No matter how strong the opponent, I will protect this world."

Meanwhile, Sasuke stood at the entrance of the Uchiha forbidden grounds. This place was covered in the Uchiha clan's sealing techniques, and ordinary people could not enter. Sasuke activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, the power of the golden ember surging within his eyes to resonate with the seal at the entrance. The seal slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black passage.

Sasuke took a deep breath and walked into the passage. The walls on both sides were carved with the history of the Uchiha clan. As he walked, he observed carefully, attempting to find clues related to the night of the massacre. At the end of the passage was a secret chamber. In the center of the chamber sat a stone box.

Sasuke opened the stone box to find a scroll inside. He unfurled it, and it recorded the secret history of the Uchiha clan. One passage caught his attention: "On the night of the Uchiha massacre, besides Itachi, a third-party force intervened. This force possesses the ability to manipulate space and is linked to an alien dimension."

"As I thought." A intense killing intent flashed in Sasuke's eyes. "Ying Zhishui was merely a pawn; the true mastermind is the Void Realm." Just then, the scroll suddenly emitted a red light that merged into Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan. Within his eyes, the golden ember power intertwined with red chakra, manifesting a new rune.

"This is..." Sasuke felt the power surging within his body. "A new ocular technique." He attempted to activate the new technique, and with a flash of red light in his eyes, a long sword of golden flame appeared in his hand. The sword contained both spatial power and the power of the ember, its might far exceeding that of his previous Susanoo blades.

"The debt of the massacre—I will surely exact revenge." Sasuke gripped the flaming sword, his gaze firm. He turned and left the secret chamber, preparing to return to Konoha to share this news with Su Ye and Naruto.

By this time, Su Ye had already left Mount Myoboku and was on his way back to Konoha. Looking at the prophecy crystal in his hand, he knew clearly that a greater storm was approaching. The threat of the Void Realm, the truth behind the Uchiha massacre—all these mysteries would be unveiled in the near future.

Su Ye increased his speed, flying toward Konoha. He knew that Sasuke and Naruto must also be working hard to protect the village. The three of them would fight side by side to face the impending crisis.

Upon returning to Konoha, Su Ye immediately found Tsunade, Sasuke, and Naruto, and told them of the prophecy from Mount Myoboku and his encounter with the spatial trap. Sasuke also shared his findings from the Uchiha forbidden grounds and his newly awakened ocular technique.

"It seems we must prepare as quickly as possible." Tsunade's expression was grave. "The leader of the Void Realm could strike at any time. We need to unite the strength of all the villages to defend against the enemy together."

Naruto nodded. "I have already contacted Gaara and Killer B; they have indicated they will support us with all their might."

Sasuke spoke up. "I will continue to research the clues in the Uchiha forbidden grounds to find more information about the Void Realm, while simultaneously honing my own strength."

Su Ye looked at the three of them, his gaze firm. "I will strengthen my control over the Rinne Sharingan and analyze more information from the prophecy crystal. The four of us will be the final hope to protect Konoha and this world."

As the night deepened, the lights of Konoha gradually flickered to life. Su Ye, Sasuke, and Naruto stood on the roof of the Hokage building, gazing into the distance. They knew that the days of peace were numbered, and a battle concerning the survival of the world was about to unfold. And they were ready to meet the new challenge.
