Outside the metal dome of the Mars base, crimson dust was whipped up by strong winds, carving jagged streaks across the gray sky. Immortal Venerable Tsubasa stood on the circular platform of the central control room, his fingertips tracing the holographic projection floating before him. The projection clearly displayed the progress of Mars surface terraforming—swathes of green vegetation sprouted from the soil, nourished by a special nutrient solution, and rows of silvery-white ecological domes, like jewels embedded in the red earth, continuously produced breathable oxygen.
"At this rate, in another hundred years, Mars will become the second home of the Shinobi World." Tian Yu's voice came from behind.
Princess Kaguya walked to the enormous viewing window, gazing at the land being transformed outside, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. "I never imagined that one day I would be far from Shinobi Planet, busy here working for the survival of another dead star," she murmured, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the cold glass, as if she could see the distant Shinobi Planet through this barrier.
Just then, a golden light suddenly appeared in the center of the platform, and Tenpi's figure materialized. He knelt on one knee, holding a runic screen shimmering with blue light in both hands, and said urgently, "Father! Emergency! The contents of an urgent meeting just came from Fo Ge of the Yan Nation's palace!"
Tsubasa immediately turned around, strode to Tenpi, and took the rune-covered light screen. The moment the screen unfolded, the solemn faces of Tenbutsu and Tenchu appeared, along with the horrific scenes of the Western Continent's annihilation, the invasion of the Ōtsutsuki Legion, and the plan for the final battle at sea... Scenes flooded into Tsubasa's mind like a tidal wave. His face instantly turned grim, and his fingers gripping the screen tightened slightly, his knuckles turning white.
"What's wrong?" Princess Kaguya noticed Tsubasa's unusual behavior and quickly walked over. When Tsubasa handed her the runic light screen, her previously calm eyes instantly turned cold, and a chilling killing intent emanated from her, as if the surrounding air had frozen. " Ōtsutsuki... these greedy people still won't let go of the Shinobi Planet!" Her voice was filled with suppressed anger, and memories of being a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan flooded back like a tide, those scenes of plunder and slaughter making her clench her fists.
Tian Yu's hand suddenly froze, and the data on the instrument screen instantly became erratic. She looked up, her eyes filled with solemnity. " Shinobi Planet is our foundation; we absolutely cannot let the Ōtsutsuki Clan destroy it! We must go back to rescue it immediately!"
Tsubasa took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He looked at Tenpi, his tone firm. "Notify everyone at the base, the Mars development plan is on hold. Activate the Ultra-Long-Distance Space Teleportation Array immediately! I'm taking Tian Yu and Princess Kaguya back to Shinobi Planet right now. You stay on Mars and protect everything here!"
"Yes!" Tenpi turned and left, and a series of urgent alarms immediately blared throughout the base. Red warning lights flashed incessantly in the corridors, and a clear command came over the loudspeaker, "Attention all departments! Emergency mission activated! Immediately cease all work and assist in activating the Ultra-Long-Distance Space Teleportation Array! Repeat, immediately cease all work and assist in activating the Ultra-Long-Distance Space Teleportation Array!"
Inside the control room, Tsubasa rapidly operated the console, temporarily transferring control of the Mars base to Tenpi and Uzumaki Hyōmei, who remained behind. "I'm leaving this to you. Make sure the base is safe. We'll return to continue our plan after we resolve the Ōtsutsuki crisis," he said into the communicator, his tone carrying an unwavering determination.
Princess Kaguya walked to Tsubasa's side, her eyes filled with determination. "This time, I will not allow the Ōtsutsuki Clan to harm anyone on the Shinobi Planet again." She had been sealed away by her own child for protecting her child and resisting the Ōtsutsuki, and now she would never allow the Shinobi World to be ravaged by the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
The Tian Yu withdrew its hands and tidied its runic armor. "I'm ready, and we can set off at any time," it said, its pale green Chakra surging as it prepared to traverse space.
The three strode towards the spatial teleportation chamber deep within the base. Inside, a massive circular teleportation array emitted a faint glow, its platform covered in intricate runes, and dazzling blue energy flowed from the surrounding energy conduits. Staff were busily making final adjustments, and upon seeing Tsubasa and his companions arrive, they immediately bowed respectfully. " Immortal Venerable, the teleportation array is ready. The coordinates are located at the Shinobi Planet Immortal Venerable Hall Spatial Teleportation Array Plaza!"
Tsubasa nodded and stepped onto the teleportation array first. Princess Kaguya and Immortal Venerable Tian Yu followed closely behind. As soon as the three of them stood still, the runes around the teleportation array suddenly lit up, and the dazzling light instantly enveloped the entire teleportation room. The blue energy in the energy conduit surged wildly and poured into the teleportation array. The figures of the three gradually blurred in the light and finally disappeared into the teleportation array.
After a strong sense of spatial distortion, Tsubasa and his companions appeared in the plaza of the Immortal Venerable Hall. The disciples of the Immortal Venerable Hall were busily engaged in their work when they saw Tsubasa and his companions suddenly appear. They all stopped what they were doing and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Immortal Venerable Tsubasa! Greetings, Immortal Venerable Tian Yu! Greetings, Lady Princess Kaguya!"
Tsubasa waved his hand, his tone urgent. "No need for formalities! The situation is urgent, we have no time to waste. Tian Yu, go to the Gate of Hell immediately, open the seal, and have the Ghost Emperor lead the Hell Legion to support the main battlefield at sea!"
Immortal Venerable Tian Yu nodded and turned to leave. "Wait!" Tsubasa suddenly spoke up, "The sealing power of the Gate of Hell is immense; you alone will likely find it difficult to open it completely in a short time. I have a rune here that was once used to completely break the seal; perhaps it can help when the Ghost Emperor emerge." As he spoke, he took out a black rune from his sleeve and handed it to Immortal Venerable Tian Yu.
The Immortal Venerable Tian Yu accepted the rune, sensing the power it contained. A hint of surprise flashed in its eyes. "The power of this rune is indeed extraordinary. With it, opening the Gate of Hell will be much smoother." It cupped its hands towards Tsubasa and Princess Kaguya, "I'll set off now and lead the Ghost Emperor to the Ocean Battlefield as soon as possible!" After saying that, its figure transformed into a green streak of light and sped towards the Gate of Hell teleportation arrays of the three Trial Towers.
Watching Tian Yu's departing figure, Tsubasa turned to Princess Kaguya, his tone grave. " Tian Yu is going to support the main battlefield; we have an even more important mission. Since the Ōtsutsuki Legion was able to invade Shinobi Planet, they must have spaceships as their means of transportation. We must search for their ships in space and seize them, completely cutting off their escape route!"
A knowing glint flashed in Princess Kaguya's eyes. "You're right. The Ōtsutsuki Clan's spaceships are made of God Tree, possessing the ability to traverse space, extremely high speed, and powered by the powerful Ten-Tails. If we don't destroy them, even if we win the naval battle, they can still invade again using the spaceship's coordinates." She looked up at the sky, her eyes gleaming with determination. "I'm very familiar with the Ōtsutsuki's spaceships, and I can sense their location from a certain distance. I'll lead you there; we'll definitely find their location quickly."
