Night fell.
On this unfamiliar planet, Uzumaki Naruto and Ōtsutsuki Urashiki fell into a long-lost, deep sleep together. Perhaps because his body and soul were finally given a brief moment of rest, Naruto began to dream.
In the dream—
Naruto won the final victory.
The Ōtsutsuki clan was completely destroyed, and the terrifying threat looming over the ninja world was eradicated. Naruto returned to Earth as a hero.
He lived happily with Hinata.
Boruto and Himawari were born safely and grew up smiling every day.
Sasuke finally settled down, living peacefully with Sakura—and even Karin was still alive, smiling brightly, with children of her own.
Naruto was still the Seventh Hokage of Konohagakure.
This time, Sasuke no longer wandered the world alone. He stayed in the village, calmly assisting Naruto with affairs of state. Shikamaru served as his trusted advisor, grumbling as usual but working tirelessly.
Everything was perfect.
Everything felt… happy.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
Under the warm sunlight, Konoha Village was filled with laughter.
Naruto stood atop the roof of the Hokage Building, overlooking the village he loved so deeply. The streets were lively, children were running around, and the Will of Fire burned brightly in every corner.
His heart was completely at peace.
Suddenly—
Naruto's entire body trembled.
A bone-chilling cold ran down his spine.
"Uzumaki Naruto!!!"
A deafening roar echoed from behind him.
Naruto turned around in horror.
What he saw made his pupils shrink violently.
High above the sky, an enormous double-eyed Rinnegan appeared—vast, terrifying, and divine. Its gaze covered the entire village like a curse from heaven.
"What… what is this?!!"
Naruto clenched his teeth, panic flooding his heart.
Didn't he already destroy the Ōtsutsuki clan?
Why… why was this happening?!
"Ahhhh—!"
"Help!"
"It's on fire, put it out!"
"Mom!!!"
Screams erupted everywhere.
Wherever the gigantic double Rinnegan looked, flames erupted, explosions roared, and countless lives were lost in an instant.
"Damn it!"
Naruto was just about to leap into the sky to confront the enemy—
But the Hokage Guard Platoon rushed in immediately.
"Lord Hokage, please retreat at once!"
"Lord Hokage, you are the future of the ninja world—go!"
"Yes! Hokage-sama, we'll hold him back!"
Naruto opened his mouth to refuse—
But suddenly, a gigantic Susanoo soared into the sky.
"Naruto—go!"
Sasuke's cold yet resolute voice echoed.
He left behind only those words before charging forward without hesitation.
"Sasuke!!!"
Naruto reached out desperately, but his arms were restrained by the guards.
Moments later, Kakashi, Tsunade, and Jiraiya arrived one after another. Each of them urged Naruto to leave, then rushed forward without hesitation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"I am the God of Ōtsutsuki!"
"You low-level creatures—offer your lives!"
"Protect Lord Hokage!"
"Go—!!!"
One by one, people fell before Naruto's eyes.
His pupils trembled violently, fear and disbelief flooding his heart.
Why… why was this happening?!
"Naruto… go…"
Naruto's heartbeat nearly stopped.
"No… Hinata… no!!!"
Hinata stood before him, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Yet she still smiled gently at Naruto.
"Because… I like Naruto the most."
Pfft!
A beam of light pierced straight through Hinata's chest.
Her body fell lifelessly to the ground.
"No—!!!"
Naruto's mind shattered.
He no longer wanted to retreat.
Even if he died together with his loved ones—he had no regrets!
"Kurama—give me strength!!!"
Naruto roared.
Inside his consciousness, the Nine-Tails, Kurama, spoke softly:
"Naruto… goodbye."
"What?!"
Naruto's fighting spirit collapsed in an instant.
In the depths of his soul, Kurama's massive form slowly faded away. He looked at Naruto with a gentle, affectionate gaze.
"From now on… you'll have to walk alone. This… is the last power I can give you."
Baryon Mode—Activated.
An overwhelming power surged into Naruto's body.
Tears streamed down his face.
"Kurama… thank you."
Gritting his teeth, Naruto rushed toward the gigantic Rinnegan in the sky.
"AAAAHHHH—!!!"
His roar shook the world.
He unleashed everything he had—
But the moment he charged forward, a terrifying beam of light shot out, pinning him in midair.
"How… how is this possible?!"
Another beam pierced through his body.
Pfft!
Naruto spat out a mouthful of blood.
"How could I… still fail…"
With the last of his strength, Naruto tried to raise his head to see the true face of the God of Ōtsutsuki.
But the light was too blinding.
All he could see were two enormous Rinnegan, staring down mercilessly at the world.
"Who… are you…?"
The voice that answered shattered his soul.
"My name… is the God of Ōtsutsuki."
Naruto's heart collapsed completely.
Doubt consumed him.
Did I… really fail?
His body fell helplessly from the sky.
"I… still failed…"
Darkness swallowed him whole.
"Naruto!"
"Naruto!!"
"Naruto!!!"
Shouts echoed.
Naruto jolted awake.
"Ah—!"
He sat up abruptly, eyes wide, gasping for breath. His entire body was drenched in cold sweat.
Urashiki stood beside him, watching calmly. Seeing Naruto's reaction, he chuckled lightly.
"It seems… there's a future in your heart that you're afraid to face."
Naruto's breathing gradually stabilized. He looked around and realized that dawn was approaching.
"I… slept for so long…"
Urashiki nodded lazily.
"You were shouting in your sleep—'no, no, no.' It sounded like a terrifying nightmare."
Naruto wiped the sweat from his face.
"It was terrifying… but fortunately, it was just a dream."
He stood up and looked toward the rising sun.
"I haven't seen a morning sunrise in a long time."
Urashiki watched Naruto's back silently.
For the first time, he felt that humans… were truly lonely beings.
In terms of strength alone, Naruto had already surpassed many Ōtsutsuki. If such a person were born into the Ōtsutsuki clan, he would undoubtedly be a peerless genius.
And yet—
He was born on Earth.
Still…
Urashiki's eyes narrowed slightly.
This man… might really create a miracle.
"Alright," Urashiki said. "Since we're awake, we should—"
Suddenly—
His eyes widened in horror.
Naruto frowned. "What's wrong?"
Urashiki's scalp tingled violently. Fear flashed across his face.
"Go—Naruto!!!"
Without hesitation, Urashiki activated his Rinnegan and tore open a spatial rift. Naruto instantly followed him inside.
They jumped through space repeatedly, fleeing at full speed.
At that very moment—
A cold snort echoed through the void.
"So… you're trying to run now?"
Ōtsutsuki Hitoshiki stood in the distance, his expression indifferent.
"It's too late."
His eyes transformed.
A blue Rinnegan appeared.
"Stay."
