Chapter 204: Kaguya's Resurrection

【Reincarnation Mission about to begin, please Reincarnators prepare.】

"This timing." Madara frowned tightly, his gaze falling on Black Zetsu on the ground: "Since you're unwilling to speak the truth, then stay here forever."

Then Madara slowly raised his hand, palm facing Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu instantly felt an irresistible suction force; his pitch-black body began to twist and deform uncontrollably: "Wait! Madara-sama! I still have something to say"

"Chibaku Tensei!"

The moment Madara's voice fell, vast gravity instantly enveloped a radius of several dozen li.

A massive gravitational vortex formed a terrifying storm; soil and rocks rotated crazily in the air. The ground continuously collapsed as matter was drawn away, forming a huge funnel-shaped deep pit.

"No!" Black Zetsu's miserable scream echoed among the rubble.

All matter rapidly compressed under gravity, condensing into a huge meteorite with a pockmarked surface.

Rumble—

The meteorite slowly rose into the air, finally stopping at an altitude of several kilometers, casting a huge shadow.

A circular basin dozens of kilometers in diameter was clearly visible on the ground; bare rock layers were exposed in the sunlight, like a bite taken by a giant beast.

Madara looked up at the suspended giant rock, the corner of his mouth hooking into a cold smile: "Reflect on your actions there."

【Reincarnators prepare, 3, 2, 1...】

Next second, Madara Uchiha's figure vanished from the spot.

"Crack—"

A faint shattering sound came from the ground. Suddenly, a crack spread across the ground like a spider web. A special chakra fluctuation surged from the crack, followed by a stooped figure slowly emerging.

"Disappeared?" The Sage of Six Paths' expression changed; he immediately closed his eyes and sensed with all his might, but no matter how he searched, he could not find any trace.

"What exactly happened?" The Sage of Six Paths' expression turned grave, "It's not the Flying Thunder God Technique, nor any Space-Time Ninjutsu. His presence is as if he completely vanished from this world."

……………

At the same time, in the Main God Space.

Uchiha Feng stood before the Light Sphere, watching everything happening in the Ninja World. The current Space had expanded nearly a hundred times in size, no longer the cramped initial form.

"The Sage of Six Paths has finally appeared."

"The problem now is." Uchiha Feng interlaced his ten fingers, "Which world should Madara Uchiha be sent to?"

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly recalled something: "The Ninja World seems to have parallel worlds to begin with. When Obito of the Ninja Road used Limited Tsukuyomi, he said it was a copy of the real world, and Sakura indeed crossed over from that world to the original Ninja World."

Thinking of this, Uchiha Feng extended a finger and lightly tapped the Light Sphere.

Instantly, ripples spread across the Light Sphere's surface; several smaller Light Spheres separated from it, floating around.

Each one reflected the scene of a parallel world.

"Interesting." Uchiha Feng's gaze swept across these parallel worlds.

"Since we need to find a suitable location for Madara." Uchiha Feng's gaze suddenly stopped on one of the Light Spheres, the corner of his mouth hooking into a smile, "Right here."

Then the Light Sphere representing Madara Uchiha instantly plunged into it.

…………

Madara Uchiha slowly opened his eyes, scanning the surroundings: "Wonder what world this is?"

Suddenly he discovered a circular Light Curtain encircling him, preventing entry or exit.

"This is..." Madara reached out to touch the Light Curtain; an invisible force repelled his hand, "The Main God's restriction?"

Suddenly, his movement froze.

Madara's eyes widened; he saw two giant stone statues standing on either side of the waterfall — precisely the likenesses of him and Hashirama Senju.

"Valley of the End! Why am I here?"

Madara closed his eyes, sensing everything around him — the flow of chakra, the fluctuations of natural energy — all telling him this was the Ninja World.

"This is indeed the Ninja World, but." Madara abruptly opened his eyes, stamping on the water surface, his whole body shooting skyward like an arrow.

He looked down from on high at the entire Valley of the End; Madara frowned: "Why would the Main God send me to the Ninja World?"

Suddenly, the sky changed drastically.

A piercing red light shot from the horizon, instantly enveloping the entire land. Madara looked up, pupils sharply contracting.

The moon — that originally bright clear moon now presented an eerie blood-red color.

Even more shocking, the pattern of a Three Tomoe Sharingan clearly emerged on the moon's surface, releasing massive chakra fluctuations.

"This is...!" Madara was shocked, "Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

Madara instantly reacted; nine Truth-Seeking Balls rapidly rotated around him, forming a protective barrier. The red light shone on the Truth-Seeking Balls, emitting sizzling sounds.

Just then, a massive chakra fluctuation came from afar. Madara frowned tightly; this chakra fluctuation was practically identical to his own.

"Boom!"

The earth violently trembled; a huge tree root burst from the ground, followed by a second, a third — in the blink of an eye, countless tree roots grew crazily across the land.

Sky-covering branches spread in all directions like tentacles. Wherever branches passed, countless people were swept into them.

"What on earth is this." Madara instantly soared into the air, flying above the cloud layer, fully activating Observation Haki and releasing it, covering a radius of over a hundred kilometers.

The distant scene clearly entered his perception: a giant Complete Body Susanoo stood beneath the God Tree, wings covering the ground blocking the Infinite Tsukuyomi's light; inside the Susanoo, a blond youth and a black-haired youth stood back to back.

"That's... the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and a descendant of the Uchiha Clan?" Madara's gaze fell on Naruto and Sasuke beneath the Susanoo, sensing the chakra fluctuations on them, frowning: "Why do they have Six Paths Power?"

Farther away, a pitch-black figure was attached to Obito; that nauseating aura was unmistakably Black Zetsu.

And in mid-air. Madara's pupils sharply contracted.

There floated another "Madara Uchiha", waist-length long hair moving without wind, wearing Six Paths attire, Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind him.

That Madara was forming hand seals; vast chakra fluctuations swept heaven and earth.

The God Tree's branches, under his control, extended in all directions like wildly dancing giant pythons; in the blink of an eye, countless people were swept up by branches, wrapped into cocoons suspended in the high sky.

"Infinite Tsukuyomi ended."

Sasuke waved his arm and dismissed Susanoo; the purple light dissipated, revealing his and Naruto's figures.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, Madara descended from the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground; air waves surged and the ground instantly cracked.

"I suppose I count as the world's savior." The corner of Madara's mouth curved slightly upward as his gaze swept over Naruto and Sasuke. He spread his arms, his voice filled with fanaticism, "I severed this world's causality, liberating people from endless sorrow and emptiness!"

"Nonsense!" Naruto stepped forward abruptly, "This is all fake! You haven't given anyone happiness; you've just locked everyone inside a false cage!"

"Madara" looked down at Naruto from above, his voice carrying a hint of pity:

"Naruto, the one obstructing everyone's happiness should be you. Stubbornly clinging to so-called 'reality' — have you ever considered what this real world has brought people?"

"This place is nothing but a hell of blood, slaughter, and hatred."

He raised his hand, pointing at the blood moon in the sky: "Now, I have turned hell into heaven! Everything is over!"

Watching this scene, Madara hiding in the shadows couldn't help but curve his mouth upward. He could sense the confidence in that "self's" words.

How familiar those words — they were precisely the conviction he himself had always upheld.

"It seems my judgment was not wrong." Madara murmured softly, "Infinite Tsukuyomi can indeed succeed. This world's 'me' has already achieved it; doing it this way truly can let everyone escape suffering and gain eternal happiness."

Madara looked up at the blood-colored moon, thoughtful: "This should be some parallel world; even the chakra fluctuations are exactly the same as my original world."

Then, Madara frowned: "But why did the Main God send me here? To watch another 'me' complete Infinite Tsukuyomi with my own eyes? Is there some purpose?"

Right at this moment, Madara's gaze sharpened.

Only to see a black shadow flash by; Black Zetsu manipulated Obito's body, appearing soundlessly behind the other "Madara," extending his right hand.

"Pfft!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was clearly audible; "Madara" lowered his head to look at the arm suddenly protruding from his chest, his pupils contracting sharply: "What?!"

"Madara, you are wrong." Black Zetsu's voice carried thick mockery, "You are no savior, and nothing has ended."

"Why," Madara turned his head, looking in disbelief at the Black Zetsu behind him: "You should have been created by me, a shadow following my will!"

"Hehe, did you really think you were superior? Capable of creating an existence like me?"

Black Zetsu let out a piercing laugh: "What makes you think you can manipulate everything from behind? Feeling you're special, different from Nagato, Obito, and the rest? Ridiculous!"

Madara hiding in the shadows, at this moment, had already widened his eyes stark; his palm unconsciously gripped the Six Paths Staff tight, his knuckles emitting a faint "click-click" sound.

Right at this moment, the earth trembled violently; terrifying torrents of chakra surged up from underground like a volcanic eruption, instantly pouring into the other Madara's body.

"Aaaah!"

At this moment Madara let out a pained scream; his body grew increasingly twisted under this power, as if something were about to burst out from within.

"Fool!" Black Zetsu laughed loudly, "It's your arrogance, your conceit, that let you be deceived so easily; did you think the Moon's Eye Plan was your idea? You're merely a stepping stone for my Mother Adult's resurrection!"

Black Zetsu's voice was full of contempt: "From the very beginning, my will belonged only to Princess Kaguya! Infinite Tsukuyomi was nothing but a lie I fabricated to resurrect Mother!"

Boom! At this moment, Uchiha Madara in the shadows felt his brain explode like a bomb.

How many years? From the moment he discovered the stone tablet, Madara began preparing for this plan; he did not hesitate to make an enemy of his close friend, leave Konoha, orchestrate his own death, and linger on in the underground.

For what? He recalled his feelings the first time he saw the stone tablet. Back then he thought he had finally found the method to save the world, finally could create a utopia without war and pain.

Madara stared dead at the scene before him, his voice low and hoarse: "Everything... was a lie?"

"I actually... would be toyed with to this extent by such a lowly existence!" Madara opened his eyes, his Rinnegan rimmed with bloodshot veins.

At this moment he could imagine Black Zetsu lurking in the dark, looking down at him with those golden eyes, a mocking smile on its face.

Everything he had painstakingly built — in its eyes it was just a joke; he himself was nothing but... a clown.

【Main Quest Released!】

At this moment the Main God's voice rang out again; a crimson translucent light curtain suddenly emerged in the void, the text on it clearly visible:

【World: Naruto】

【World Level: Eighth Stage】

【World Information: This is a world dominated by ninja. In this world, chakra is the source of all power.

Kaguya Otsutsuki is the progenitor of chakra in this world; she seized the God Tree's fruit and became the first person in the Ninja World to possess chakra.

Later she turned into the Ten-Tails and was sealed by her two sons. Her will incarnated as Black Zetsu, who has schemed for her resurrection for a thousand years.

Right now, Infinite Tsukuyomi has been activated; Princess Kaguya is about to resurrect, the entire Ninja World has fallen into chaos. And you will face this world's most terrifying existence — the Mother of Chakra, Princess Kaguya.】

【Quest Name: Final Battle】

【Quest Difficulty: S】

【Quest Description: Erase Kaguya Otsutsuki, prevent her resurrection!】

【Time Limit: 24 Hours】

【Quest Reward: 50000 Reward Points】

【Quest Failure: Erasure!】

— The last two blood-red large characters trembled slightly in the air, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

"Bang!"

The blood-red light curtain suddenly shattered, turning into specks of starlight that dissipated in the air.

Madara gripped the Six Paths Staff in his hand, cold killing intent flashing in his eyes: "Good, then let me personally put an end to all this."

Right at this moment,

Suddenly, a violent fluctuation came from the distance. The other "Madara's" body began to shrink rapidly.

"Boom!"

A blinding white light shot into the sky; berserk chakra fluctuations swept across heaven and earth.

After the light faded, a snow-white figure appeared — precisely Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Kaguya descended slowly; her long hair moved without wind, a strange halo enveloping her. A vertical pupil slowly opened on her forehead, releasing a suffocating pressure.

"Hagoromo, Hamura..." Kaguya's gaze fell on Naruto and Sasuke, her voice ethereal and cold, "No, are they Indra and Asura..."

Black Zetsu's figure flowed into Kaguya's sleeve like ink: "Mother, they have obtained Hagoromo's power. As long as we deal with these two little demons, everything will end……"

"Black Zetsu!"

A thunderous roar suddenly rang out, and Kaguya and Black Zetsu turned their heads at the same time, only to see a white figure approaching at an astonishing speed.

"Madara?!" Disbelief filled Black Zetsu's voice, "How is this possible?!"
