The End of Toneri

On the surface of the moon, at the Tenseigan Altar.

The shockwave from Toneri's self-detonation swept across the entire moon, causing massive fissures to spread across its surface.

Xingye's body was sent flying, the power of Karma working at full capacity to repair his injuries.

"Toneri," Xingye gritted his teeth, "I never expected you to choose self-detonation."

Just then, Toneri's lingering soul appeared before Xingye, already incredibly weak.

"Xingye," Toneri said feebly, "though you have destroyed my physical body, the power of the Tenseigan remains."

"The moon will not let you go."

Xingye sneered: "Toneri, do you still not understand?"

"I have already absorbed the entirety of the Tenseigan's power."

"The moon is mine now."

Xingye opened his left eye, the Tenseigan radiating a dazzling moonlight.

Toneri's lingering soul changed expression drastically: "What? You actually absorbed all of my power?"

Xingye nodded: "The power of Urashiki, the power of Toneri—both have merged into my body."

"I have mastered the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan."

Toneri's lingering soul sneered: "Xingye, do you think that by absorbing the power of the Tenseigan, you are invincible?"

"The core of the moon is the power of Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"If you want to fully control the moon, you must awaken Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Xingye smiled faintly: "Kaguya Otsutsuki, I have already subdued her."

"She will not stop me; she will only support me."

Toneri's lingering soul changed expression drastically: "What? Kaguya Otsutsuki has been subdued?"

"That's impossible! Kaguya Otsutsuki is the princess of the Otsutsuki clan; she would never bow to a human."

Xingye shook his head: "Kaguya Otsutsuki is not the princess of the Otsutsuki clan; she is a part of the Shinobi World."

"She has already realized that the Infinite Tsukuyomi is not peace, but a new hell."

"Therefore, she chose to cooperate with me to protect the Shinobi World together."

Toneri's lingering soul was silent for a moment, then gave a bitter smile: "It seems I have truly lost."

"Xingye, you are not only powerful, but you also possess the wisdom to persuade Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"I willingly admit defeat."

Xingye said calmly: "Toneri, go."

"I will not kill your lingering soul."

Toneri's lingering soul looked at Xingye, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Xingye, thank you."

"I will return to the Otsutsuki Home Planet and tell the clansmen that Earth no longer needs us."

Xingye nodded: "Go."

Toneri's lingering soul gradually dissipated, turning into specks of starlight that vanished into the universe.

On the surface of the moon.

Xingye stood up and looked toward the direction of Earth.

Earth, the blue planet, rotated silently in space, beautiful and serene.

"Toneri has vanished," Xingye muttered to himself, "the threat of the Otsutsuki clan has been basically neutralized."

Just then, the system's notification sound rang out.

[System Notification: Toneri's lingering soul chakra absorption complete]
[Obtained Traits: Tenseigan Perfect Form (Mythical), Heart of the Moon (Mythical), Kaguya Contract (Mythical)]

Xingye felt a surge of joy—three Mythical-grade traits.

"Kaguya Contract?" Xingye muttered to himself, "What kind of trait is this?"

The system explained: "The Kaguya Contract is a soul contract signed with Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"After obtaining this trait, Kaguya Otsutsuki will fully obey Xingye's commands."

"Xingye can summon Kaguya Otsutsuki at any time to fight for him."

Xingye's eyes lit up: "I can summon Kaguya Otsutsuki? This is too powerful."

"If Kaguya Otsutsuki joins my camp, I won't have to worry about the threat of the Otsutsuki clan anymore."

Just then, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others emerged from the ruins.

"Xingye!" Naruto shouted, rushing toward Xingye.

"Are you alright?"

Xingye shook his head: "I'm fine, just sustained some minor injuries."

"Toneri has already been eliminated by me."

Naruto let out a sigh of relief: "That's great."

"We were worried something had happened to you."

Sasuke looked at Xingye, his expression complex: "Xingye, your strength has already surpassed the Six Paths level."

"It seems there is no longer anyone in the Shinobi World capable of threatening you."

Xingye shook his head: "Sasuke, don't jump to conclusions so quickly."

"The Otsutsuki clan has other members."

"Furthermore, I have already obtained the Kaguya Contract, which allows me to summon Kaguya at any time."

"Kaguya's power is far beyond your imagination."

The expressions of those present changed drastically; Kaguya had actually been subdued by Xingye!

"Kaguya?" Naruto looked at Xingye in surprise, "You mean Kaguya?"

Xingye nodded: "That's right, Kaguya has been subdued by me."

"She is now my partner and can be summoned at any time."

Sasuke was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Xingye, since you have subdued Kaguya, we have nothing left to worry about."

"The Otsutsuki clan can no longer threaten the Shinobi World."

Kakashi looked at Xingye with a complex expression: "Xingye, you have already surpassed the Hokage and the limits of the Shinobi World."

"Your current strength is already approaching that of a god."

Xingye smiled faintly: "Teacher Kakashi, I am just an ordinary ninja who wants to protect his home."

"Whether I am a god or not is not important."

Everyone nodded, filled with admiration for Xingye.

Moon, returning to Earth

Xingye activated the space-time ninjutsu of the Rinnegan, opening a portal to Earth.

"Let's go," Xingye said, "we are returning to Earth."

Everyone nodded and followed Xingye into the portal.

Earth, Konoha Village

The portal opened in front of the Hokage Building, and Xingye and the others stepped out.

Third Hokage and the various Kage were waiting; seeing Xingye and the others return, relieved smiles appeared on their faces.

"Xingye," Third Hokage walked over, "you've returned."

"What happened to Toneri?"

Xingye nodded: "Toneri has been eliminated by me."

"The threat of the Otsutsuki clan has been basically resolved."

The Kage smiled; the Shinobi World was finally at peace.

"That's wonderful," Raikage patted Xingye on the shoulder, "Xingye, you are the hero of the Shinobi World."

"If it weren't for you, the Shinobi World might have already been destroyed by the Otsutsuki clan."

Tsuchikage nodded: "That's right, Xingye, you are the greatest hope of the Shinobi World."

"In the future, the development of the Shinobi World will depend on you."

Mizukage smiled: "Xingye, we will support you with all our might."

"The Shinobi World will become even stronger because of you."

Xingye smiled faintly: "Honorable Kage, I am just an ordinary ninja who did what had to be done."

"Protecting the Shinobi World is the responsibility of all us ninjas."

Third Hokage nodded: "Xingye, you are right."

"However, you have truly surpassed the ordinary ninja to become the guardian deity of the Shinobi World."

Xingye shook his head: "I dare not claim the title of guardian deity."

"I only wish to protect the people I love and protect my home."

Just then, the system's notification sound rang out.

[System Notification: Volume 5, Otsutsuki War Arc, progress 95%]

[5% remaining until the end of Volume 5]

Xingye felt a stir in his heart: "Volume 5 is about to end; I need to be prepared."

"The Otsutsuki clan shouldn't be coming back."

"However, there are other civilizations in the universe that may pose new threats."

Just then, Xingye suddenly remembered something.

"Right," Xingye looked at the Third Hokage, "Lord Third, I need to discuss something with everyone."

The Third Hokage nodded: "Xingye, go ahead."

Xingye said: "I intend to head to the Otsutsuki Home Planet to thoroughly resolve the threat of the Otsutsuki clan."

"If I don't go to the home planet, the Otsutsuki clan could send even stronger envoys at any time."

"Only by going to the home planet and dismantling the Otsutsuki clan can the Shinobi World be truly safe."

Everyone's expressions changed drastically. Going to the Otsutsuki Home Planet?

"Xingye," Naruto said, "are you really going to the Otsutsuki Home Planet?"

"That is the headquarters of the Otsutsuki clan; their strength is immense."

Xingye nodded: "Yes, I must go."

"If I don't, the Otsutsuki clan could send even stronger envoys at any time."

"The Shinobi World will forever remain under threat."

Sasuke was silent for a moment, then said: "Xingye, I will go with you."

"Although your strength is great, the power of the Otsutsuki Home Planet far exceeds our imagination."

"You will need help."

Naruto clenched his fists: "I'm going too!"

"I also want to go with you to resolve the threat of the Otsutsuki clan."

Sakura nodded: "I'm going as well."

"As a medical ninja, I can support you at critical moments."

Kakashi: "I'm going too."

"Xingye, you need experienced ninjas to help you deal with various situations."

Xingye looked at everyone, a flash of emotion in his eyes.

"Everyone," Xingye said, "you don't need to take this risk."

"The strength of the Otsutsuki Home Planet is far beyond yours; you would only be a burden."

Naruto shook his head: "No, Xingye."

"We are partners; we should face danger together."

"If you go alone, we will be very worried."

Sasuke nodded: "That's right, Xingye."

"We are partners; we won't let you take this risk alone."

Xingye looked at everyone and finally nodded: "Alright, since you all insist, we will go together."

The Third Hokage walked over and patted Xingye on the shoulder: "Xingye, you must be careful."

"The strength of the Otsutsuki Home Planet is far beyond our imagination; do not be careless."

Xingye nodded: "Rest assured, Lord Third."

"We will be careful."

Just then, the system's notification sound rang out.

[System Notification: New mission unlocked: Head to the Otsutsuki Home Planet]

[Mission Rewards: Galactic Combat Power (Mythical), Creation Power (Mythical), Domain of Gods (Mythical)]

Xingye felt a surge of joy; rewards of three Mythical-grade entries!

"Head to the Otsutsuki Home Planet," Xingye muttered to himself, "this is not only to resolve the threat but also to improve my strength."

"With these Mythical-grade entries, I will be able to become a true god."

Ending

Xingye stood on the roof of the Hokage Building, gazing at the night sky.

In the night sky, the starlight flickered, beautiful and mysterious.

"Otsutsuki Home Planet," Xingye muttered to himself, "wait for me; I will dismantle you all."

"The Shinobi World will be peaceful forever."
