Join the Uchiha, and I'll Bring Rin Back
Ren looked at Kaguya and spoke calmly.
Kaguya Otsutsuki.
"You just said that the Ōtsutsuki Clan has top-tier experts who can defeat me."
Kaguya did not answer.
Ren continued, "You were originally a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, and you descended to the Shinobi World with Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. Your original task was to guard the Divine God Tree and wait for its God Tree Fruit to ripen."
"But you betrayed Isshiki."
"You stole the God Tree Fruit, and then used the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create White Zetsu, constantly collecting Chakra from the Shinobi World."
"On the surface, it seems you're after world domination."
"Actually, you're afraid."
Kaguya's Byakugan narrowed slightly.
"Fearing the pursuers from the Ōtsutsuki Clan."
Ren's voice echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
"You know very well that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki won't let you go."
"It's even clearer now that no matter how powerful the God Tree Fruit, it's only one part of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's power system."
"That's why you want to control all the Chakra in the Shinobi World, to prepare enough trump cards for yourself."
Black Zetsu's expression was grim.
"It's none of your business, as a human being, interfering in my mother's affairs!"
Ren raised his eyes.
Black Zetsu's body froze instantly.
The moment the Yin-Yang Six Paths Samsara Double Pupils locked onto it, the Yin–Yang Release Power within its body rapidly dissipated.
Black Zetsu tried to enter Kaguya's body, but found that he couldn't even move a finger.
"Shut up."
Ren only said two words.
Black Zetsu could no longer make a sound.
Kaguya remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.
You're right.
"I betrayed the Isshiki and devoured the God Tree Fruit, all for the sake of survival."
"But you have no idea how terrifying the Ōtsutsuki Clan is."
"Even if I gathered Chakra in the entire Shinobi World, I might not be able to stop them."
Those who truly stand at the top of their race possess power far exceeding that of this world.
Ren nodded.
"That's why I said you chose the wrong path."
Kaguya stared at him.
"What's the meaning?"
"The Shinobi World has too small a scope."
Ren said calmly, "Even if you turned everyone into White Zetsu and absorbed all their Chakra, you still might not be able to contend with the entire Ōtsutsuki Clan."
"Because there is a fundamental difference between you and them."
"If one person hides in the Shinobi World alone, they will be found sooner or later."
Kaguya's expression kept changing.
This was exactly what she was most worried about.
She painstakingly accumulated power over a thousand years, created 100,000 White Zetsu, and continuously maintained the Infinite Tsukuyomi, all so that she would have the strength to fight when the pursuers arrived.
But Ren directly pointed out the reality she didn't want to face.
"So what do you want?"
Kaguya looked at Ren.
Ren raised his hand, and the black and white energies slowly circulated in his palm.
"Join the Uchiha Family."
I can protect you.
Kaguya was stunned.
Madara Uchiha, Obito, Naruto, and Sasuke all looked at Ren.
Ren looked at Kaguya and said, word by word:
"The future of the Uchiha Family will not be confined to the Shinobi World."
"We will enter a wider world, gain more resources, and cultivate more true strongmen."
"The Uchiha today may not be able to confront the Ōtsutsuki Clan head-on."
"But it won't be long before the Uchiha possesses sufficient power."
"If the Ōtsutsuki Clan dares to descend upon the Shinobi World then, the Uchiha will make them understand that this is not a place they can plunder at will."
Kaguya fell silent.
She looked at the Ten Soul Ring behind Ren, and felt the Royal Domain pressing down on her.
This human descendant before her was beyond her comprehension.
Perhaps.
Joining the Uchiha certainly offers a better chance of survival than fighting the Ōtsutsuki Clan alone.
Ren turned his head and looked at Obito.
"Obito."
Obito raised his head, his expression complex.
"Infinite Tsukuyomi has been activated."
"You still want to stop me?"
"Certainly."
Ren said, "Because Infinite Tsukuyomi was a scam from beginning to end."
Obito's face darkened.
What are you trying to say?
"You want to see Lin in the illusion."
"I want her back to life, I want her by my side, I want to make up for everything I've lost in the past."
"But you know better than anyone that no matter how real Lin appears in the illusion, it's still just an illusion."
"She can't be the real Rin Nohara."
Obito remained silent.
Ren continued, "The world within the Infinite Tsukuyomi was woven according to your wishes."
"Lin there will smile at you, stay with you, and say the things you want to hear."
"But she didn't have a real life."
"And she's not the Rin you think she is, the one who would rather sacrifice herself than harm her Konoha comrades."
Obito's fingers slowly clenched.
Ren raised his hand, and the power of the Rinnegan slowly flowed.
"I can use the Rinne Rebirth."
"I'm not asking you to enter an illusion."
"In the real world, Lin will truly be resurrected."
Obito suddenly looked up.
"What did you say?"
"Bring her back to reality."
Ren looked at him.
"It has body temperature, it breathes, it has its own thoughts, and it can see this real world with its own eyes."
"You can truly live together."
You no longer need to deceive yourself with Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Obito's breathing gradually became rapid.
He wanted to argue.
But the words stuck in my throat.
Ren suddenly smiled.
"Or is it that you don't want Lin to be resurrected?"
Do you think you, in real life, couldn't beat Kakashi?
"Are you afraid that after Rin is resurrected, Kakashi will take her away again?"
"Nonsense!"
Obito roared angrily on the spot.
"You think I'm afraid of Kakashi?"
"That good-for-nothing who only knows how to use my eyes, what makes him think he can take Lin from me?"
"I can pin him to the ground and beat him right now!"
Naruto's lips twitched.
Kakashi, standing at a distance, couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his forehead.
Ren nodded.
"That's good."
Obito's expression froze.
He then realized that he had actually lost his composure because of Ren's few words.
But the thought that Lin could truly be resurrected began to shake the obsession he had held for so many years.
Ren looked at Madara Uchiha one last time.
"Spot."
Ban coldly said, "What are you trying to say now?"
"You pursue peace."
Ren said, "But you chose the worst possible way."
"The peace created by Infinite Tsukuyomi is merely trapping everyone in a false dream."
That's not peace.
That's escapism.
Ban remained silent for a moment, then let out a cold snort.
"Do you have a better idea?"
Of course.
Ren looked up at the Shinobi World.
"Wars keep breaking out because every power believes it can win."
"When a power possesses absolute strength and can make all its enemies understand that starting a war will only bring destruction, war will naturally disappear."
"After the war, the Uchiha Family will become the cornerstone of maintaining peace in the Shinobi World."
"The Uchiha doesn't need to rule over everyone."
"But the Uchiha must possess the power to make everyone obey the rules."
Ban looked at Ren.
"You want the Uchiha to become the sole ruler of the Shinobi World?"
Domination is not the goal.
Ren calmly said, "Strength is the key."
"As long as the Uchiha is strong enough, no ambition, conspiracy, or war will have any fertile ground to grow."
"Furthermore, the Shinobi World is not the end."
Ren raised his hand and pointed to the sky.
"Beyond this world, there lies a vast new realm."
"There are top-tier cultivation resources, countless powerful individuals, and truly exhilarating battles."
"There are also landscapes you've never seen before."
"Join the Uchiha, and I will show you the truly vast world."
Ban's gaze shifted slowly.
He spent his life pursuing power and yearning to stand at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World.
But if there truly are stronger beings and a wider world beyond the Shinobi World, how could he be content to be trapped in this small, confined space forever?
