The moment Uchiha Madara successfully activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the sky across the entire Ninja World seemed to be torn asunder by a blinding light. A massive surge of chakra swept across the land, and time and space were frozen solid by his ocular jutsu.
Countless living beings began to fall into illusions, entering the ideal world created by Madara, while he stood in this endless void, savoring his unparalleled power.
A cold radiance flickered in his eyes; everything was under his control.
The perfect world of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the ideal world of peace, was about to officially begin. Madara felt the endless chakra flowing from the God: Deep Forest Emergence, his own power nearing its limit. He knew that no one could stop him now. True dominion had finally arrived.
However, while Uchiha Madara reveled in his infinite power, a long-hidden threat quietly closed in.
Black Zetsu, having lurked in the shadows behind Uchiha Madara all this time, had long been waiting for this perfect moment to resurrect Kaguya Otsutsuki.
As Uchiha Madara activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Black Zetsu knew that Madara's power had reached its peak, but this also meant that everything he possessed was now exposed.
There was no longer any need for concealment, and Black Zetsu decided to act.
Black Zetsu had prepared his contingency long before Uchiha Madara performed the God: Deep Forest Emergence.
His very existence was for the resurrection of Kaguya Otsutsuki, and Madara's desires and goals were merely tools for him to manipulate.
Now, Uchiha Madara was completely immersed in the immense power of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and Black Zetsu knew the opportunity had arrived.
As Black Zetsu's figure suddenly emerged from the shadows, he swiftly reached toward Uchiha Madara's back, instantly plunging a special black tentacle into his body.
This tentacle was no ordinary physical weapon; it was a special energy conduit connected to Black Zetsu's true form, harboring a cursed energy capable of directly disrupting the flow of Uchiha Madara's chakra.
Black Zetsu sneered and whispered, "Madara, do you think you can control all of this? You are merely a catalyst for Mother Kaguya's resurrection. You are nothing but a pawn in my plan to revive her, one who hasn't even realized it himself."
The moment Black Zetsu pierced his body, Uchiha Madara suddenly felt a sharp, agonizing pain erupt from his back, as if his entire body's chakra and life force were rapidly draining away. Madara turned his head in shock, his gaze locking onto Black Zetsu, but he was already powerless to stop it.
Black Zetsu's tentacle had delved deep into his flesh, beginning to siphon his chakra and destroying the circulation within Madara's body at a terrifying speed.
"This is impossible..." Uchiha Madara's face was etched with terror as he realized he was losing control of his body, and even the ongoing Infinite Tsukuyomi began to falter.
Black Zetsu's cold laughter echoed in Madara's ears: "Yes, Madara. Your chakra will continue to expand, and all the power you have absorbed will serve as the fuel for my resurrection of Kaguya. You are the key to achieving my goal, and you are nothing more than a stone paving the way for me."
As Black Zetsu's cursed power continued to pour into Uchiha Madara, the chakra within him began to swell uncontrollably. The energy, unable to be contained, began to overflow, causing extreme instability within his body.
Madara's body began to deform violently, showing signs of bloating. His skin seemed to be bursting, his limbs expanding, and every expansion was accompanied by excruciating pain and the loss of energy control.
At this very instant, the massive energy fluctuations threw the entire battlefield into chaos, and Uchiha Madara's body was on the verge of being torn apart.
Meanwhile, Black Zetsu's voice grew lower and deeper, as if performing some complex ritual: "Kaguya, Mother, the moment of resurrection has finally arrived..."
As Black Zetsu's words fell, the energy within Madara suddenly resonated in a strange way. The God: Deep Forest Emergence chakra he had absorbed fused perfectly with Black Zetsu's power during the expansion. A more formidable aura of chakra condensed in the air, rapidly shrouding the surrounding world.
In that instant, Uchiha Madara's body shook violently before being pulled apart by an invisible force.
Immediately thereafter, the resurrection ritual for Kaguya Otsutsuki was complete.
Kaguya's massive figure gradually emerged from Madara's body, and her boundless dark power began to rapidly fill the entire space, as if the very earth were trembling for her return.
Kaguya opened her eyes, instantly releasing an irresistible and powerful pressure; the heavens and earth succumbed to her aura.
In her eyes, endless darkness and authority were reflected, as if the entire world were destined to become her plaything.
"Finally, resurrected..." Kaguya looked coldly at everything before her, her voice low and filled with majesty. "I shall take control of this world once more."
After her resurrection, Kaguya Otsutsuki slowly opened her eyes, her frigid gaze sweeping across the surroundings. The air was thick with the massive chakra fluctuations she had released upon her rebirth.
She had transcended the understanding of ordinary ninja and the constraints of time; powerful chakra churned within her, seemingly infinite.
However, when her gaze fell upon Uchiha Ying Yue, a sense of familiarity quietly arose.
Ying Yue's deep pupils and the chakra flowing within his body caused an inexplicable resonance in Kaguya Otsutsuki's heart.
She sensed in this power an aura similar to her own and that of her son—Hagoromo.
She stared into Ying Yue's eyes, her gentle voice echoing through this silent Magma World.
"Are you the child of Hagoromo?" Kaguya Otsutsuki asked softly. Her gaze pierced through the long river of time, as if returning to that distant past, that era of harmony.
Uchiha Ying Yue was slightly stunned, then the corners of his mouth curled up as he answered calmly and firmly: "I am not. I am Uchiha Ying Yue. It has been over a thousand years since you were sealed away from the Ninja World."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of surprise and reflection crossed Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes.
She looked down at Uchiha Ying Yue, her eyes devoid of hostility, holding only the regrets and contemplations of a bygone era.
"A thousand years have passed..." she sighed softly, her tone seemingly weary. "The changes in this land have been so swift."
Uchiha Ying Yue's gaze was profound as he looked directly at Kaguya Otsutsuki: "Yes, a millennium has passed, and the Ninja World is no longer the way you remember it. The current Ninja World has entered an era of long-lasting peace and prosperity, and it is no longer under the rule of the God: Deep Forest Emergence."
Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned slightly. She understood Uchiha Ying Yue's implication, as if he were saying that her rebirth would trigger a new catastrophe.
