Above the Land of Iron, the vortex in the sky grew ever larger.
A terrifying surge of chakra poured from the vortex, causing the entire Shinobi World to tremble.
At the center of the vortex, the silhouette of a woman gradually emerged.
She possessed long white hair, eyes that were white with a hint of pink, and two horns protruding from her head.
Clad in white robes, she radiated an aura of divinity.
It was none other than Kaguya Otsutsuki, the creator of the Shinobi World and the ultimate enemy.
Black Zetsu knelt before Kaguya, speaking with agitation: "Mother, you have finally awakened."
Kaguya slowly opened her eyes and looked at Black Zetsu.
"Black Zetsu," Kaguya's voice carried a sense of majesty, "how long have I slept?"
Black Zetsu replied: "Mother, you have slept for thousands of years."
"Now, the Shinobi World is ready to welcome your rule."
Kaguya nodded slowly: "Very good."
"My children have finally remembered my grace."
"Now, I shall make them feel true maternal love."
Kaguya raised her hand and unleashed the legendary ultimate ninjutsu.
"Infinite Tsukyomi: Amenominaka!"
A massive pupil appeared in the sky, and the moon began to warp, emitting an eerie light.
"Infinite Tsukyomi..." Kaguya murmured to herself.
"My children, return to my embrace."
The light enveloped the entire Shinobi World, and everyone exposed to its glow began to fall into a deep slumber.
On the front lines of the Allied Forces, ninjas collapsed one by one, entering an eternal dream.
"Not good!" the Raikage shouted, "It's the Infinite Tsukyomi!"
The Third Hokage's expression was grave: "The Infinite Tsukyomi has been activated; everyone is falling into a deep sleep."
"If we cannot stop it, the entire Shinobi World will become Kaguya's puppets."
Xingye looked at the massive pupil in the sky, a flicker of determination in his eyes.
"Kaguya," Xingye said, "your Infinite Tsukyomi is destined to fail."
"I possess the Rinnegan and am immune to genjutsu."
Xingye took a deep breath, and his Rinnegan slowly activated.
The power of the Tenseigan surged within him, and the Six Paths Sage Technique covered his entire body.
"Everyone," Xingye shouted, "the Infinite Tsukyomi has been activated."
"Everyone has fallen into a deep sleep, and only we remain awake."
"Today, we must defeat Kaguya and awaken the entire Shinobi World."
Within the Allied Forces, only a very small number of ninjas had not fallen asleep.
These ninjas were mostly those who possessed powerful ocular jutsu or unique constitutions.
Hiashi and Hizashi of the Hyuga clan, Fugaku, Itachi, and Sasuke of the Uchiha clan, as well as Naruto, Gaara, Sakura, and others, remained conscious.
"Xingye," Naruto said, "what should we do?"
Xingye replied: "Kaguya's power far exceeds our imagination; a frontal assault will be difficult to succeed."
"We need to find Kaguya's weakness and then seal her."
Hiashi asked: "What is Kaguya's weakness?"
Xingye explained: "Although Kaguya is powerful, she has a fatal flaw."
"Her chakra originates from the God Tree; as long as we destroy the God Tree, Kaguya's power will be significantly weakened."
"Furthermore, Kaguya has been sealed for thousands of years; although her body has been resurrected, her power has not yet fully recovered."
"If we can seize this opportunity to seal her, our chances of victory will be high."
Itachi nodded: "I understand."
"Then how shall we proceed?"
Xingye said: "I will be responsible for pinning down Kaguya, while you are responsible for destroying the God Tree."
"The God Tree is right behind Kaguya; once it is destroyed, Kaguya's power will be sapped."
Sasuke said: "Fine, Itachi and I will destroy the God Tree together."
"Sasuke, you use Susanoo to attack, and I will provide cover with Amaterasu."
Sasuke nodded: "Understood."
Naruto: "Then I will protect you all alongside Hiashi, Gaara, and Sakura."
Xingye nodded: "Good, the operation begins."
The battle erupted.
Kaguya looked at the conscious group, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.
"To think there are those who can be immune to the Infinite Tsukuyomi?" Kaguya said.
"It seems there are still some disobedient ones among my children."
"In that case, let them feel pain."
Kaguya raised her hand and unleashed a powerful ninjutsu.
"Amenominaka!"
Space began to distort, and the group was transported to different dimensions.
Xingye found himself in a red desert dimension, the air filled with a scorching heat.
"Kaguya's space-time ninjutsu," Xingye muttered to himself, "truly powerful."
"However, this cannot stop me."
Xingye activated his Rinnegan, attempting to teleport back to the original space.
But Kaguya's space-time ninjutsu far exceeded Xingye's imagination; he could not teleport.
"Damn it," Xingye gritted his teeth, "Kaguya's power is indeed formidable."
Just then, the system's notification sound rang out.
[System Notification: Entered Kaguya's space-time] [Current Dimension: Land of Fire] [Characteristics: High temperature, scorching heat, abnormal gravity] [Solution: Utilize the Rinnegan's space-time ninjutsu to break Amenominaka]
Xingye felt a surge of joy: "A solution? I understand now."
Xingye took a deep breath, his Rinnegan operating at full power.
"Kamui: Other Dimension Teleportation!"
Xingye's figure vanished from the Land of Fire and appeared in another dimension.
This dimension was an ocean, with countless islands floating on the water's surface.
"Land of Water?" Xingye muttered to himself.
"Kaguya's space-time truly contains six different dimensions."
Xingye continued to teleport, successively passing through the Land of Lightning, Land of Earth, Land of Wind, and Land of Rock.
Finally, Xingye returned to the original space.
Seeing Xingye return, a flash of surprise crossed Kaguya's eyes.
"Xingye," Kaguya said, "you were actually able to break Amenominaka?"
"You are worthy of one who possesses the Otsutsuki bloodline."
Xingye said indifferently: "Kaguya, your Amenominaka is indeed powerful, but it is not unsolvable."
"As long as one finds the weak point of the space, breaking it is not difficult."
Kaguya sneered: "Is that so? Then let's see you try."
Kaguya raised her hand and unleashed a powerful ninjutsu.
"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"
Hundreds of fists flew from Kaguya's hands, rushing straight toward Xingye.
Each punch contained immense chakra, enough to shatter mountains.
Xingye's expression changed: "Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack? This is Kaguya's close-combat technique."
Xingye activated his Tenseigan, and the Truth-Seeking Ball appeared behind him.
"Chibaku Tensei!"
Xingye launched Chibaku Tensei, and massive rocks descended from the sky to block the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.
Boom!
Hundreds of fists struck the rocks, and the rocks shattered instantly.
However, Xingye had already taken the opportunity to dodge, remaining unharmed.
Kaguya looked at Xingye coldly: "Xingye, your strength is indeed not weak."
"But you are still far from defeating me."
Xingye said: "Kaguya, although your power is great, your body has not yet fully recovered."
"If we take this chance to seal you, you won't be able to fight back at all."
Kaguya sneered, "Seal me? You think you can seal me?"
"I am the creator of the Shinobi World, possessing infinite power."
"As long as I am alive, you will never be able to seal me."
Xingye said, "Is that so? Then let's see you try."
Xingye activated his Rinnegan, searching for a way to seal Kaguya.
The system suddenly provided a prompt.
[System Prompt: Method to seal Kaguya discovered] [Method 1: Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei] [Method 2: Dead Demon Consuming Seal] [Method 3: Tsukuyomi: Seal]
Xingye felt a surge of joy, Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei, this move should be able to seal Kaguya.
Xingye formed hand seals and activated Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei.
Nine Truth-Seeking Ball rotated in the air, forming a massive gravitational field.
"Kaguya," Xingye said, "you haven't seen this move before, have you?"
Kaguya looked at the Truth-Seeking Ball in the sky, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.
"Truth-Seeking Ball? You can actually use Truth-Seeking Ball?"
Xingye said, "Not only can I use Truth-Seeking Ball, I can also use Six Paths Sage Technique."
"Kaguya, today, you will be sealed once again."
Kaguya sneered, "Xingye, you think Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei can seal me?"
"Don't forget, I have been sealed once before; I know the weaknesses of Sealing Technique very well."
"As long as the core of the seal is destroyed, the seal will fail."
Xingye said, "Is that so? Then let's see you try."
Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei was activated, and the massive gravitational field pulled Kaguya toward the Truth-Seeking Ball in the sky.
Kaguya tried to resist, but the gravitational field was too strong.
Kaguya's body was gradually pulled into the air, unable to move.
"Damn it..." Kaguya gritted her teeth.
"Xingye, you... you can actually seal me..."
Xingye looked at Kaguya and said calmly, "Kaguya, your era is over."
"The Shinobi World does not need a god to rule it; what we need is true peace."
Kaguya sneered, "Peace? Peace does not exist."
"Only absolute rule can maintain order."
Xingye shook his head, "No, Kaguya."
"Peace exists, as long as we work together."
"You have been sealed for thousands of years; you should understand that violent rule cannot bring true peace."
Kaguya was silent for a moment, then said, "Xingye, do you really believe in peace?"
Xingye nodded, "Of course I do."
"And I will prove it to you."
Just then, the voices of Sasuke and Itachi rang out.
"Xingye, the God Tree has been destroyed!"
Kaguya's expression changed, "What? The God Tree has been destroyed?"
Xingye turned to look and saw that the God Tree had collapsed, turning into ashes.
Sasuke and Itachi stood beside the God Tree, their Susanoo and Amaterasu extinguishing the remaining flames.
"Very good," Xingye said, "the God Tree is destroyed, and Kaguya's power has been significantly weakened."
"Now, we can seal her."
Kaguya sneered, "Even if the God Tree is destroyed, my power is still immense."
"It won't be that easy for you to seal me."
Xingye said, "Is that so? Then let's see you try."
Xingye continued to activate Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei, and the gravitational field grew stronger and stronger.
Kaguya's body was completely pulled into the air, unable to move.
Nine Truth-Seeking Ball began to rotate, forming a sealing formation.
Kaguya's expression began to twist; she realized she was truly about to be sealed.
"No... don't..." Kaguya muttered to herself.
"Xingye, why... why do you want to seal me?"
Xingye said, "Kaguya, you created the Shinobi World, but you also plunged it into suffering."
"Infinite Tsukuyomi is not peace, but a new hell."
"I am sealing you to give the Shinobi World a true future."
Kaguya sneered, "Future? The Shinobi World has no future."
"Human greed and hatred will only bring endless war."
Xingye shook his head, "No, Kaguya."
"Although humans are flawed, they also have hope."
"As long as we work together, we can certainly achieve peace."
Kaguya was silent for a moment, eventually giving up her resistance.
"Xingye," Kaguya said, "you are right."
"Although I created the Shinobi World, I never truly understood humans."
"Perhaps my methods were indeed wrong."
Xingye nodded, "Kaguya, your power is meant to protect the Shinobi World, not to rule it."
"If you are willing to abandon Infinite Tsukuyomi, I am willing to give you a chance to start over."
A flicker of emotion flashed in Kaguya's eyes, "Xingye, you... you are willing to give me a chance?"
Xingye nodded, "Of course."
"Kaguya, you are the creator god of the Shinobi World; your power should be used to protect it, not to rule it."
"If you are willing to abandon Infinite Tsukuyomi, we are willing to accept you."
Kaguya was silent for a long time, finally nodding.
"Very well, I abandon Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"Xingye, thank you for helping me understand true peace."
Xingye smiled, "You're welcome, Kaguya."
"From now on, we will guard the Shinobi World together and achieve true peace."
The gravitational field of the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei gradually dissipated, and Kaguya's body slowly descended.
Kaguya looked at Xingye, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes.
"Xingye," Kaguya said, "I am willing to join you and guard the Shinobi World together."
Xingye nodded, "Welcome aboard, Kaguya."
The system's notification sound rang out.
[System Notification: Successfully subdued Kaguya] [Obtained Traits: Otsutsuki Divinity (Mythical), Tenseigan (Mythical), Truth-Seeking Ball (Red), Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack (Red)] [Plundered from Kaguya: God Tree Chakra (Red), Space Ninjutsu (Red), Time Ninjutsu (Red)]
Xingye was ecstatic; Otsutsuki Divinity was a Mythical-grade trait, worth a fortune.
"With Otsutsuki Divinity," Xingye muttered to himself, "my strength will reach the Mythical level."
"Peace in the Shinobi World is finally about to be realized."
Kaguya looked at Xingye, her eyes flickering with complex light.
"Xingye," Kaguya said, "your strength is indeed formidable."
"However, you still have one more challenge."
Xingye frowned, "What challenge?"
Kaguya said, "The Otsutsuki clan has other members."
"They have sensed my resurrection and will soon arrive on Earth."
"If we are not prepared, the Shinobi World will fall into danger once again."
Xingye's expression changed, "Other Otsutsuki members?"
Kaguya nodded, "The Otsutsuki clan has been collecting God Trees throughout the universe, plundering the chakra of various planets."
"They have discovered the existence of Earth and will arrive soon."
"Xingye, you must make full preparations."
Xingye pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.
"Very well, I will make the necessary preparations."
"Kaguya, you are familiar with the Otsutsuki Clan. Please tell me, who are their strongest members?"
Kaguya replied, "The strongest of the Otsutsuki Clan are Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki."
"Momoshiki possesses the Tenseigan, and Kinshiki possesses Gold Release."
"The strength of those two is no less than mine."
"Furthermore, besides them, there are other powerful figures such as Urashiki Otsutsuki and Toneri Otsutsuki."
Xingye took a deep breath. "The Otsutsuki Clan is truly powerful."
"However, I am already prepared."
Kaguya smiled slightly. "Very good, Xingye."
"I believe that you will certainly be able to protect the Shinobi World."
Xingye nodded. "Kaguya, let us work together."
Just then, the system's notification sound rang out.
[System Notification: Ultimate BOSS has been subdued]
[Shinobi World crisis resolved]
[Hidden quest unlocked: Invasion of the Otsutsuki Clan]
Xingye's heart sank; a new challenge was about to begin.
However, Xingye was not afraid.
"Otsutsuki Clan," Xingye muttered to himself, "no matter how strong you are, I will not let you harm the Shinobi World."
"This time, I will protect my home."
