  • Survivors question why the Main God did not intervene despite the near-total destruction of the Ninja World. Zhu Shen had anticipated the outcome and chose not to interfere, believing that the catastrophe resulted from the inhabitants’ own decisions. Furthermore, the Ninja World’s fortune had already been largely harvested, and Zhu Shen’s true foundation had shifted to the Reincarnation Universe.
  • Madara Uchiha regains his senses after fighting Ay and realizes that their battle has nearly destroyed the Ninja World. Although Madara wanted to overthrow the existing order and create his ideal peaceful world, he never intended to annihilate the entire planet.
  • Furious at Ay, Madara attempts to draw him away from the Ninja World. The two battle into outer space, with Madara deliberately guiding Ay toward the moon to prevent further destruction on Earth.
  • Upon reaching the moon, they discover that it is inhabited. Madara notices the inhabitants and instinctively leads the fight away from populated areas.

He remains curious and confident, however, immediately showing interest in the powerful battle outside his domain.

Significant Themes

  • The limits of idealism: Madara’s dream of peace has produced catastrophic results, highlighting the danger of pursuing utopian goals through uncontrolled violence.
  • Madness versus responsibility: Ay represents destructive, irrational violence, while Madara’s recovery of reason forces him to confront the consequences of their conflict.
