Kaguya Otsutsuki

The moment Uchiha Madara successfully activated Infinite Tsukuyomi, the sky over the entire Ninja World seemed to split apart beneath a brilliant light. A massive surge of chakra swept across the land, and time and space froze completely under his eye technique.

Countless living beings fell into an illusion, entering the ideal world Madara had created. Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara stood in the boundless void, feeling a power beyond compare.

A cold light gleamed in his eyes. Everything was under his control.

The perfect world of Infinite Tsukuyomi, an ideal world of peace, was about to officially begin. Madara felt the endless chakra flowing from the God Tree, and his power had nearly reached its limit. He knew that no one could stop him now. At last, true dominion had arrived.

Yet as Uchiha Madara reveled in his boundless power, a threat that had long lurked behind him quietly drew near.

Black Zetsu, who had always hidden in the shadows behind Uchiha Madara, had long been waiting for the perfect moment to resurrect Kaguya.

With Uchiha Madara having activated Infinite Tsukuyomi, Black Zetsu knew that Madara's power had reached its peak—but it also meant that Madara had left himself completely exposed.

There was no longer any need to hide. Black Zetsu decided to act.

Black Zetsu had prepared his contingency plan long ago, when Uchiha Madara performed God: Deep Forest Emergence.

His very existence was meant to resurrect Kaguya Otsutsuki, and Madara's ambitions and goals were merely tools for him to manipulate.

Now Uchiha Madara was completely immersed in the immense power of Infinite Tsukuyomi, and Black Zetsu knew the time had come.

Black Zetsu suddenly emerged from the shadows and swiftly reached for Uchiha Madara's back, plunging a special black tendril into his body.

The tendril was no ordinary physical weapon. It was a conduit of special energy connected to Black Zetsu's true body, and it contained a cursed energy capable of directly affecting the flow of chakra within Uchiha Madara.

Black Zetsu gave a cold laugh and murmured, "Madara, did you think you could control everything? You were nothing but a catalyst for Mother Kaguya's resurrection. You were merely a pawn in my plan to resurrect Kaguya, and you never even realized it."

The instant Black Zetsu pierced Madara's body, Uchiha Madara felt a searing pain flare up in his back, as if his chakra and life force were rapidly draining away. Madara turned around in shock and fixed his gaze on Black Zetsu, but by then, he could no longer stop what was happening.

Black Zetsu's tendril had burrowed deep into his flesh. It began siphoning his chakra and disrupting the flow within his body at a terrifying speed.

"This is impossible..." Uchiha Madara looked horrified as he realized he was losing control of his body. Even the Infinite Tsukuyomi he was performing began to falter.

Black Zetsu's cold laughter echoed in Madara's ears. "That's right, Madara. Your chakra will keep swelling, and all the power you've absorbed will fuel Mother Kaguya's resurrection. You're the key to achieving my goal, and nothing more than a stepping stone for me."

As Black Zetsu's cursed power continued pouring into Uchiha Madara, the chakra within Madara began to swell wildly. The uncontrollable chakra gradually spilled out, making the energy inside his body dangerously unstable.

Madara's body began to contort violently, swelling visibly. His skin seemed ready to burst, and his limbs continued to expand. Every surge brought searing pain and an uncontrolled release of energy.

In that instant, the immense surge of energy plunged the entire battlefield into chaos. Uchiha Madara's body was nearly torn apart.

At the same time, Black Zetsu's voice grew increasingly low, as though he were performing some complex ritual. "Kaguya, Mother, the time for your resurrection has finally come..."

As Black Zetsu's words faded, the energy within Madara suddenly resonated in a strange way. As the God Tree's chakra he had absorbed continued to swell, it merged perfectly with Black Zetsu's power. An even greater chakra presence gathered in the air, swiftly enveloping the entire area.

In that instant, Uchiha Madara's body convulsed violently, then was pulled apart by an invisible force.

And with that, the ritual to resurrect Kaguya Otsutsuki was complete.

Kaguya's massive figure gradually emerged from Madara's body. Her boundless dark power rapidly filled the space, as if even the earth trembled at her resurrection.

Kaguya opened her eyes, releasing an overwhelming pressure that no one could resist. The world sank beneath her presence.

Her eyes reflected endless darkness and power, as though the entire world would soon be hers to command.

"At last, I'm resurrected..." Kaguya gazed coldly at everything before her. Her voice was low and full of authority. "I will take control of this world once more."

After her resurrection, Kaguya Otsutsuki slowly opened her eyes and swept her cold gaze around. The immense chakra she had released upon returning to life filled the air.

She had surpassed the understanding of ordinary shinobi and transcended the bonds of time. Powerful chakra churned within her, seemingly without end.

Yet when her gaze fell upon Uchiha Ying Yue, a familiar feeling quietly stirred within her.

Ying Yue's deep eyes and the chakra coursing through his body stirred an inexplicable resonance in Kaguya Otsutsuki's heart.

Within that power, she sensed an aura resembling both her own and that of her son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

She gazed into Ying Yue's eyes, her gentle voice echoing through the stillness of the Magma World.

"Are you Hagoromo Otsutsuki's child?" Kaguya Otsutsuki asked softly. Her gaze seemed to cross the river of time, carrying her back to the distant past, to an age of harmony.

Uchiha Ying Yue paused for a moment, then gave a faint smile and answered calmly and firmly, "No. I'm Uchiha Ying Yue. More than a thousand years have passed since you were sealed, and the Ninja World has changed."

Kaguya Otsutsuki heard his words, and surprise and wistfulness flickered in her eyes.

She looked down at Uchiha Ying Yue. There was no hostility in her eyes, only regret and reflection on days long past.

"Has it really been more than a thousand years..." she sighed softly, her voice carrying a hint of weariness. "This land has changed so quickly."

Uchiha Ying Yue gazed at Kaguya Otsutsuki, his eyes deep and steady. "Yes, a thousand years have passed. The Ninja World is no longer the place you remember. It has entered an era of lasting peace and prosperity. It is no longer as it was when the God Tree ruled over it."

Kaguya Otsutsuki furrowed her brow slightly. She understood what Uchiha Ying Yue meant: her resurrection would bring a new disaster.
