Kaguya Descends

Above the Land of Iron, the vortex in the sky grew larger and larger.

A terrifying chakra poured out of the vortex, and the entire Shinobi World trembled.

At the center of the vortex, the figure of a woman gradually appeared.

She had long white hair, eyes that were white tinged with pink, and two horns on her head.

She wore a white robe and radiated a sacred aura.

She was Kaguya Otsutsuki, the creator god of the Shinobi World and its ultimate enemy.

Black Zetsu knelt before Kaguya and said excitedly, "Mother, you've finally awakened."

Kaguya slowly opened her eyes and looked at Black Zetsu.

"Black Zetsu," Kaguya said, her voice full of authority. "How long have I been asleep?"

Black Zetsu replied, "Mother, you've been asleep for thousands of years."

"Now, the Shinobi World is ready to welcome your rule."

Kaguya slowly nodded. "Good."

"My children have finally remembered what they owe me."

"Now, I'll make them feel a mother's true love."

Kaguya raised her hand and unleashed the legendary ultimate ninjutsu.

"Infinite Tsukuyomi: Amenominaka!"

A gigantic eye appeared in the sky. The moon began to change shape, radiating an eerie light.

"Infinite Tsukuyomi..." Kaguya murmured.

"My children, return to my embrace."

Light enveloped the entire Shinobi World, and everyone exposed to it began to fall asleep.

At the Allied Shinobi Forces' front line, the shinobi fell one after another, entering an eternal dream.

"Not good!" the Raikage shouted. "It's the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

The Third Hokage's face turned grim. "The Infinite Tsukuyomi has been activated. Everyone is falling asleep."

"If we can't stop it, the entire Shinobi World will become Kaguya's puppets."

Xingye looked up at the enormous eye in the sky, determination flashing in his eyes.

"Kaguya," Xingye said, "your Infinite Tsukuyomi is destined to fail."

"I have the Rinnegan, so I'm immune to genjutsu."

Xingye took a deep breath, and his Rinnegan slowly opened.

The power of the Tenseigan surged within him, and the Six Paths Sage Technique enveloped his body.

"Everyone," Xingye called out, "the Infinite Tsukuyomi has been activated."

"Everyone else has fallen asleep. Only we're still awake."

"Today, we have to defeat Kaguya and awaken the entire Shinobi World."

Only a very small number of shinobi in the alliance had avoided falling asleep.

Most of them possessed powerful ocular jutsu or unusual physiques.

Hiashi and Hizashi of the Hyuga Clan, Fugaku, Itachi, and Sasuke of the Uchiha Clan, as well as Naruto, Gaara, and Sakura, were still awake.

"Xingye," Naruto asked, "what should we do?"

Xingye replied, "Kaguya's power is far beyond anything we imagined. A direct attack is unlikely to work."

"We need to find her weakness, then seal her."

Hiashi asked, "What is Kaguya's weakness?"

Xingye replied, "Although Kaguya is powerful, she has one fatal weakness."

"Her chakra comes from the God Tree. If we destroy it, Kaguya's power will be greatly weakened."

"Besides, Kaguya was sealed for thousands of years. Although her body has revived, her power hasn't fully recovered."

"If we can seal her while we have the chance, we'll have a good chance of success."

Itachi nodded. "I understand."

"How should we proceed?"

Xingye said, "I'll keep Kaguya occupied. You take care of destroying the God Tree."

"The God Tree is behind Kaguya. If we destroy it, her power will be weakened."

Sasuke said, "All right. Itachi and I will destroy the God Tree."

"Sasuke, use Susanoo to attack. I'll cover you with Amaterasu."

Sasuke nodded. "Understood."

Naruto said, "Then Hiashi, Gaara, Sakura, and I will protect you."

Xingye nodded. "Good. Let's move."

The battle erupted

Kaguya looked at the people who were still awake, surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Some people can resist the Infinite Tsukuyomi?" Kaguya said.

"It seems some of my children are still disobedient."

"If that's the case, I'll make them suffer."

Kaguya raised her hand and unleashed a powerful ninjutsu.

"Amenominaka!"

Space warped, and everyone was transported to a different dimension.

Xingye found himself in a red desert dimension, with scorching heat filling the air.

"Kaguya's Space-Time Ninjutsu," Xingye murmured. "It really is powerful."

"But it won't stop me."

Xingye activated his Rinnegan and tried to teleport back to the original dimension.

But Kaguya's Space-Time Ninjutsu was far beyond what he had imagined, and Xingye couldn't teleport.

"Damn it," Xingye gritted his teeth. "Kaguya's power really is formidable."

Just then, the system's notification sounded.

[System Notification: You have entered Kaguya's space]

[Current Space: Land of Fire]

[Characteristics: High temperature, scorching heat, abnormal gravity]

[Solution: Use the Rinnegan's Space-Time Ninjutsu to break Amenominaka]

Xingye was delighted. "A way to break it? I get it."

Xingye took a deep breath and channeled the full power of his Rinnegan.

"Kamui: Interdimensional Teleportation!"

Xingye disappeared from the Land of Fire and appeared in another dimension.

This dimension was a vast ocean, with countless islands floating on its surface.

"The Land of Water?" Xingye murmured.

"So Kaguya's space really does have six different dimensions."

Xingye continued teleporting, passing through the Land of Lightning, the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Rock.

At last, Xingye returned to the original dimension.

When Kaguya saw Xingye return, surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Xingye," Kaguya said, "you actually managed to break Amenominaka?"

"You truly do possess Otsutsuki Bloodline."

Xingye replied coolly, "Kaguya, your Amenominaka is powerful, but it isn't impossible to counter."

"Once you find the weak point in the space, breaking through isn't difficult."

Kaguya sneered. "Is that so? Then give it a try."

Kaguya raised her hand and unleashed a powerful ninjutsu.

"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"

Hundreds of fists flew from Kaguya's hands, hurtling straight toward Xingye.

Every punch contained powerful 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 Truth-Seeking Orbs appeared behind him.

"Chibaku Tensei!"

Xingye activated Chibaku Tensei, and enormous rocks descended from the sky, blocking the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.

Boom!

Hundreds of fists struck the rocks, shattering them instantly.

But Xingye had already dodged out of the way, unharmed.

Kaguya stared coldly at Xingye. "Xingye, you're certainly strong."

"But you're still far from being able to defeat me."

Xingye said, "Kaguya, your power may be great, but your body hasn't fully recovered."

"If we seize the chance to seal you, you won't be able to fight back."

Kaguya sneered. "Seal me? You think you can seal me?"

"I'm the creator god of the Shinobi World, and my power is limitless."

"As long as I'm alive, you'll never be able to seal me."

Xingye said, "Is that so? Then let's see."

Xingye activated his Rinnegan and searched for a way to seal Kaguya.

The system suddenly gave him a notification.

[System Notification: Method for sealing Kaguya found]

[Method 1: Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei]

[Method 2: Dead Demon Consuming Seal]

[Method 3: Tsukuyomi: Seal]

Xingye was delighted. "Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei. This should be able to seal Kaguya."

Xingye formed Hand Seals and activated Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei.

The nine Truth-Seeking Orbs spun in the air, forming a massive gravitational field.

"Kaguya," Xingye said, "you've never seen this technique before, have you?"

Kaguya looked at the Truth-Seeking Orbs in the sky, surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Truth-Seeking Orbs? You can use them?"

Xingye said, "I can use more than just Truth-Seeking Orbs. I can also use the Six Paths Sage Technique."

"Kaguya, today you'll be sealed once again."

Kaguya sneered. "Xingye, you think Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei can seal me?"

"Don't forget, I've been sealed once before. I know the weaknesses of sealing techniques very well."

"If you destroy the core of the seal, it will fail."

Xingye said, "Is that so? Then let's see."

Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei took effect, and its massive gravitational field pulled Kaguya toward the Truth-Seeking Orbs in the sky.

Kaguya tried to resist, but the gravitational field was too strong.

Her body was gradually pulled toward the sky, unable to move.

"Damn it..." Kaguya gritted her teeth.

"Xingye, you... you really can seal me..."

Xingye looked at Kaguya and said calmly, "Kaguya, your era is over."

"The Shinobi World doesn't need a god to rule over it. What we need is true peace."

Kaguya sneered. "Peace? Peace doesn't exist."

"Only absolute rule can maintain order."

Xingye shook his head. "No, Kaguya."

"Peace does exist, as long as we work together."

"You were sealed for thousands of years. You should understand that ruling through violence can't bring true peace."

Kaguya fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Xingye, do you really believe in peace?"

Xingye nodded. "Of course I do."

"And I'll prove it to you."

Just then, Sasuke and Itachi called 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 and turned to ashes.

Sasuke and Itachi stood beside the God Tree, Susanoo and Amaterasu burning away the remaining flames.

"Good," Xingye said. "With the God Tree destroyed, Kaguya's power has been greatly weakened."

"Now we can seal her."

Kaguya sneered. "Even with the God Tree destroyed, my power is still immense."

"You won't be able to seal me so easily."

Xingye said, "Is that so? Then let's see."

Xingye continued activating Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei, and the gravitational field grew stronger and stronger.

Kaguya's body was pulled completely into the sky, unable to move.

The nine Truth-Seeking Orbs began to spin, forming a sealing array.

Kaguya's expression twisted as she realized she was really going to be sealed.

"No... Don't..." Kaguya murmured.

"Xingye, why... why are you sealing me?"

Xingye said, "Kaguya, you created the Shinobi World, but you also plunged it into suffering."

"Infinite Tsukuyomi isn't peace. It's a new kind of hell."

"I'm sealing you to give the Shinobi World a real future."

Kaguya sneered. "A future? The Shinobi World has no future."

"Humanity's greed and hatred will only bring endless war."

Xingye shook his head. "No, Kaguya."

"Humans may have their flaws, but they also have hope."

"As long as we work together, we can achieve peace."

Kaguya fell silent for a moment, then finally gave up resisting.

"Xingye," Kaguya said, "you're right."

"Although I created the Shinobi World, I never truly understood humanity."

"Perhaps my way really was wrong."

Xingye nodded. "Kaguya, your power is meant to protect the Shinobi World, not rule it."

"If you're willing to give up Infinite Tsukuyomi, I'll give you a chance to start over."

A flicker of emotion crossed Kaguya's eyes. "Xingye, you... you're willing to give me a chance?"

Xingye nodded. "Of course."

"Kaguya, you're the creator god of the Shinobi World. Your power should be used to protect it, not rule it."

"If you're willing to give up Infinite Tsukuyomi, we'll accept you."

Kaguya was silent for a long while, then finally nodded.

"Fine. I'll give up Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"Xingye, thank you for helping me understand what true peace means."

Xingye smiled. "You're welcome, Kaguya."

"From now on, we'll protect the Shinobi World together and achieve true peace."

The gravitational field of Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei gradually dissipated, and Kaguya's body drifted slowly downward.

Kaguya looked at Xingye, gratitude flickering in her eyes.

"Xingye," Kaguya said, "I'm willing to join you and protect the Shinobi World together."

Xingye nodded. "Welcome aboard, Kaguya."

The system notification sounded.

[System Notification: Kaguya successfully subdued]

[Obtained traits: Otsutsuki Divinity (Mythic), Tenseigan (Mythic), Truth-Seeking Orb (Red), Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack (Red)]

[Plundered from Kaguya: God Tree Chakra (Red), Space-Time Ninjutsu (Red), Time Ninjutsu (Red)]

Xingye was ecstatic. Otsutsuki Divinity was a Mythic-level trait, worth a fortune.

"With Otsutsuki Divinity," Xingye murmured, "my strength will reach the Mythic level."

"Peace in the Shinobi World is finally within reach."

Kaguya looked at Xingye, her eyes shining with complicated emotions.

"Xingye," Kaguya said, "you're certainly very strong."

"But you still have another challenge ahead."

Xingye frowned. "What challenge?"

Kaguya said, "There are other members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan."

"They sensed my resurrection, and they'll be coming to Earth soon."

"If we aren't prepared, the Shinobi World will be in danger again."

Xingye's expression changed. "Other Ōtsutsuki?"

Kaguya nodded. "The Ōtsutsuki Clan has been gathering God Trees across the universe and stealing chakra from different planets."

"They've discovered Earth, and they'll be here soon."

"Xingye, you must be fully prepared."

Xingye pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Fine. I'll prepare."

"Kaguya, you know the Ōtsutsuki Clan well. Tell me which powerful members they have."

Kaguya said, "The strongest in the Ōtsutsuki Clan are Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki."

"Momoshiki possesses the Tenseigan, and Kinshiki has Gold Release."

"Neither of them is weaker than I am."

"Besides them, there are also powerful members such as Urashiki Otsutsuki and Otsutsuki Toneri."

Xingye took a deep breath. "The Ōtsutsuki Clan really is powerful."

"But I'm prepared."

Kaguya smiled faintly. "Good, Xingye."

"I believe you can protect the Shinobi World."

Xingye nodded. "Kaguya, we'll work together."

Just then, the system notification sounded.

[System Notification: Ultimate Boss subdued]

[Shinobi World crisis resolved]

[Hidden Mission Unlocked: The Ōtsutsuki Clan's Invasion]

Xingye's heart sank. A new challenge was about to begin.

But Xingye wasn't afraid.

"The Ōtsutsuki Clan," Xingye murmured, "no matter how strong you are, I won't let you harm the Shinobi World."

"This time, I'll protect my home."
