In the Konoha medical ward, pale green healing chakra swirled like flowing water. Tsunade personally tended to the chaotic meridians of Su Ye, Sasuke, and Naruto, fine beads of sweat seeping from her forehead. The three lay sprawled on their hospital beds, the dizziness from their chakra exhaustion yet to fade—especially for Su Ye, whose Rinne Sharingan was bloodshot from the strain of forcibly channeling the fusion power.

"You three brats, you really have no regard for your lives." Tsunade set down the chakra conduit, her tone laced with reproach yet unable to mask her concern. "Chakra fusion inherently violates the fundamental rules of a ninja's physiology. If not for the fact that your three bloodlines contain the power of the Rinnegan, the Uchiha Flame, and the Tailed Beast origin respectively, you would have surely exploded and died."

Sage Fukasaku sat perched on the windowsill, smoke curling from his pipe. "Yet, this fusion was not without its gains. That beam of light from earlier not only closed the spatial rift but also purified the residual Void energy surrounding Konoha. I can feel that the spatial barrier of the ninja world seems to have become a bit more reinforced because of it."

Su Ye raised a hand to rub his brow and handed the Prophecy Crystal to the others. Within the crystal, the figure of the Void Realm leader reappeared; the dark golden rune on his fingertip was identical to the markings on the scroll from the Uchiha forbidden grounds. "The key lies in this rune. Sasuke, from the information you found in the forbidden grounds, can you confirm the connection between the Uchiha ancestors and the Void Realm?"

Sasuke nodded and retrieved a yellowed Uchiha ancient text from his robes. He channeled the power of the Golden Flame into the scroll, and the previously blurred text gradually became clear. "The records state that the Uchiha ancestor, 'Chibo', once strayed into the Void Realm. To return to the ninja world, he struck a deal with the first leader of the Void Realm—trading half of his own bloodline power in exchange for the ability to traverse space. Later, when Chibo returned to the ninja world, he used that very rune to set a seal, preventing creatures from the Void Realm from following him."

Naruto sat up abruptly, Nine-Tails chakra leaking out involuntarily. "That means the leader of the Void Realm likely possesses Uchiha blood?"

"Not just that." Su Ye's Rinne Sharingan suddenly flared, casting a pale purple light over the ancient text. "Look here." On the final page of the book, where it had been blank, a line of small characters appeared: Bloodline resonance, the seal self-dissolves; three colors as one, the domain gate reopens. Su Ye traced the text with his fingertip. "The 'three colors' must refer to the power of the Rinnegan, the power of the Flame, and the power of the Tailed Beast. Our chakra fusion earlier likely caused the seal to loosen."

The moment he finished speaking, the door to the medical ward was kicked open. Uchiha Obito appeared in the doorway, his face bearing a gravity never seen before. "Su Ye, Sasuke, come with me to the Uchiha ancestral grounds. The stone tablet in the forbidden area suddenly began to glow, and new text has appeared on it."

The three immediately rose and followed Obito toward the Uchiha ancestral grounds. At this point, the ancestral grounds were no longer their former bustling self; amidst the broken walls and ruins, only the forbidden stone tablet emitted a faint golden glow. On the tablet, the newly emerged runes echoed those in the Prophecy Crystal, creating a faint spatial fluctuation.

Sasuke stepped forward and channeled the power of the Golden Flame into the tablet. The stone vibrated violently, and the runes condensed into a three-dimensional image in the air—in the image, a man in a black robe was fighting creatures from the Void Realm. The man's eyes were both Mangekyo Sharingan and contained the patterns of the Rinnegan.

"This is..." Su Ye's pupils constricted.

"It is Chibo," Obito said in a hoarse voice. "The first patriarch of the Uchiha." The image continued to play; Chibo embedded a rune into the void, and the entrance to the Void Realm gradually closed. But just then, his body suddenly began to turn transparent, half of it consumed by the power of the Void. "If future descendants encounter the threat of the Void Realm, they must use the resonance of the three-colored chakra to awaken the guardian power within the stone tablet. Remember, do not let the leader of the Void Realm obtain the complete Uchiha bloodline."

The image dissipated, and the runes on the stone tablet transformed into a golden stream of light, merging into Sasuke's body. Sasuke let out a muffled grunt; his Mangekyo Sharingan resonated with the power of the Golden Flame, and the same patterns as Chibo's appeared in his eyes.

"It seems Sasuke is the key to awakening the guardian power," Su Ye said.

Obito nodded and took a black Mangekyo Sharingan from his robes. "This is Shisui's eye. On the night of the clan massacre, I snatched it from the hands of Root. When the stone tablet glowed just now, this eye also resonated. Perhaps we can use Shisui's eye to further understand the plans of the Void Realm leader."

Su Ye took Shisui's eye, and his Rinne Sharingan began to spin. Pale purple chakra was injected into the eye, and a blurred memory fragment surfaced—Shisui in a Root laboratory, coerced by a man in a dark golden robe. The man wore an Uchiha mask. "As long as you hand over the Void power within you, I will spare the Uchiha clan." Shisui sneered, "Do you think I would believe your lies?" The man raised his hand, and a black mist was injected into Shisui's body. "Then don't blame me for extracting it by force."

The memory fragment dissipated, and Su Ye's expression turned grim. "The leader of the Void Realm not only participated in the night of the massacre back then but also extracted the Void power from Shisui's body. He likely possesses a portion of the Uchiha bloodline now."

Naruto clenched his fists, his Nine-Tails chakra surging. "No matter who he is, as long as he dares to hurt the people of Konoha, I won't let him go!"

Just then, a violent tremor came from outside Konoha. An Anbu ninja ran over quickly. "Lord Su Ye, Lord Sasuke, a large number of spatial rifts have appeared on the border of the Land of Lightning, and countless Demon Eater Lords are assaulting the Allied Forces' defense line."

The four immediately rushed toward the border of the Land of Lightning. When they arrived, the scene before them was shocking—the Raikage was leading Kumogakure ninjas in battle against the Demon Eater Lords. Killer B's Eight-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb could only cause minor damage under the attacks of the Demon Eater Lords.

"These Demon Eater Lords are stronger than the ones we encountered before!" the Raikage roared, his Lightning Style: Lariat slamming into a Demon Eater Lord, only to be deflected by the dark golden scales on its body.

Su Ye activated his Rinne Sharingan, analyzing the weaknesses of the Demon Eater Lords. "Their scales contain the power of the Void; ordinary ninjutsu cannot penetrate them. Sasuke, try your power of the Flame."

Sasuke nodded, a longsword of golden flames coalescing, and he slashed at the Demon Eater Lord's scales. The golden flames spread instantly, and the Demon Eater Lord let out a shrill cry as its scales began to melt. "It's effective!"

Naruto immediately activated Nine-Tails Mode, his golden Tailed Beast chakra forming a giant fist that slammed into the Demon Eater Lord's wound. The creature's body was instantly shattered, dissipating into a wisp of black mist.

"Everyone, coordinate!" Su Ye shouted. He activated Samsara: Banshō Ten'in, drawing a large number of Demon Eater Lords together. Sasuke's golden flame sword, Naruto's Tailed Beast Bomb, the Raikage's Lightning Style, and Killer B's Eight-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb struck the Demon Eater Lords simultaneously.

However, the number of Demon Eater Lords was simply too great, pouring out of the spatial rifts wave after wave. Allied soldiers fell one after another, and the defense line at the border of the Land of Lightning gradually became precarious.

"This can't go on," Obito said. "If the spatial rifts don't close, the Demon Eater Lords will keep pouring out endlessly. Su Ye, can you initiate the chakra fusion again?"

Su Ye shook his head. "The previous fusion pushed our bodies to the limit; we cannot initiate it again in the short term. Besides, there are too many spatial rifts this time; even if we used the fusion power, we couldn't close them all at once."

Just as everyone fell into a predicament, the golden light within Sasuke suddenly flared. His Mangekyo Sharingan resonated with Shisui's eye, and a golden beam of light shot from his eyes, striking the nearest spatial rift. The rift closed instantly, and the surrounding Demon Eater Lords lost their source of power, collapsing to the ground one by one.

"This is..." Sasuke looked at his eyes in surprise.

A flash of realization crossed Obito's eyes. "It is the guardian power from the stone tablet. Sasuke, try injecting your power into Shisui's eye; perhaps you can use it to close all the spatial rifts."

Sasuke nodded and injected the power of the Golden Flame into Shisui's eye. The eye emitted a violent light, and a massive golden barrier expanded from Sasuke as the center. Wherever the barrier passed, the spatial rifts closed one after another, and the bodies of the Demon Eater Lords gradually turned transparent.

"It worked!" Naruto cheered.

But just then, a terrifying aura emanated from the direction of the Void Realm. A dark golden beam of light shot straight into the sky, condensing into a giant figure in the air. The figure wore an Uchiha mask, and scarlet light flickered in his eyes. "Uchiha brat, do you think you can stop me with this?"

"The leader of the Void Realm!" Su Ye's pupils constricted.

The leader waved his hand, and countless dark golden spatial blades shot toward them. Su Ye activated his Rinne Sharingan, his pale purple chakra forming a barrier. But the power of the spatial blades was too strong, and the barrier shattered instantly. Sasuke, Naruto, the Raikage, Killer B, and Obito launched attacks simultaneously; golden flames, Tailed Beast Bombs, Lightning Style, Eight-Tails Tailed Beast Bombs, and Kamui wove into a powerful web of attacks.

The attack web collided with the spatial blades, producing a deafening "bang." The massive shockwave sent everyone flying, blood spraying from their mouths. The leader's figure descended slowly, standing before them. "Back then, Chibo stole the power of space from me and set a seal. Now, I will take back everything that belongs to me and make the entire ninja world a part of the Void Realm."

He raised his hand, and a black mist shot toward Sasuke. "Sasuke, the Uchiha bloodline within you is most compatible with my Void power. As long as you are willing to submit to me, I will grant you eternal life."

Sasuke let out a cold snort, his golden flame sword coalescing once more. "If you want me to submit, beat me first!"

A flash of disdain crossed the leader's eyes. "Ignorant brat." He raised his hand, and dark golden chakra condensed into a giant claw, swatting toward Sasuke. Su Ye and Naruto immediately stepped forward to support him, their Rinne power and Tailed Beast power weaving into a barrier. The claw collided with the barrier, and the entire border of the Land of Lightning shook violently.

Obito activated Kamui, teleporting the Raikage and Killer B to a safe zone. "Su Ye, Sasuke, Naruto, you three hold the leader off; I will go close the remaining spatial rifts."

The three nodded and launched their strongest attacks simultaneously. Su Ye's Samsara: Chibaku Tensei, Sasuke's Inferno Style: Flame Control, and Naruto's Nine-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb struck the leader at the same time. The leader sneered, his dark golden chakra forming a shield. The attacks slammed into the shield, causing ripples, but it suffered no damage.

"Futile resistance." The leader raised his hand, and a dark golden beam of light shot toward the three. At the critical moment, Sage Fukasaku arrived with the toad army from Mount Myoboku. Sage Fukasaku performed hand seals: "Sage Art: Goemon!" Gamabunta, Gamaken, and Gamahiro simultaneously unleashed Fire Style, Water Style, and Wind Style, the three ninjutsu weaving into a massive attack that collided with the dark golden beam.

"Boom!" A violent explosion occurred, and the entire border of the Land of Lightning was shrouded in smoke and dust. When the dust settled, the leader's figure had vanished, leaving behind only a dark golden rune flickering in the air: "Next time we meet, I will take Sasuke's bloodline with my own hands."

The rune dissipated, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Su Ye looked at the residual dark golden chakra on the ground, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes. "He hasn't left; he just hid his aura. We must perfect the Allied Forces' defense system as soon as possible, and at the same time, further excavate the secrets of the Uchiha ancestral grounds."

The Raikage nodded. "Kumogakure will cooperate fully. I have already ordered more Lightning Style barriers to be deployed at the borders of all nations; once a spatial rift is detected, an alarm will be issued immediately."

Killer B patted Naruto on the shoulder. "The Tailed Beasts will also be ready to support at any time. Next time that guy comes, we will definitely defeat him."

Obito looked at the Shisui eye in Sasuke's hand. "The stone tablet in the Uchiha ancestral grounds may hide even more secrets. Sasuke, the guardian power within you is likely the key to countering the Void Realm leader. We need to study the tablet further and awaken more of that power."

Sasuke nodded. "I will return to the Uchiha ancestral grounds as soon as possible. However, before that, we need to integrate the strength of the Allied Forces. When the leader of the Void Realm attacks next time, he will likely bring even greater power."

Su Ye clenched his fists, his Rinne Sharingan flickering with a resolute light. "No matter how much power he brings, we will not back down. The peace of the ninja world will be protected by us."

In the days that followed, the Allied Forces began their intensive preparations. Su Ye led experts in space-time ninjutsu to deploy more spatial anchors at the borders of various nations; Sasuke returned to the Uchiha ancestral grounds to study the guardian power within the stone tablet; Naruto took the Tailed Beasts to patrol between the various defense points of the Allied Forces, familiarizing themselves with each other's coordination; the Raikage and Killer B were responsible for training the Allied soldiers to improve their combat capabilities; and Obito used Kamui to gather intelligence on the Void Realm.

A great war concerning the survival of the ninja world was brewing in silence. And Su Ye, Sasuke, and Naruto were about to face their ultimate showdown with the leader of the Void Realm.
