The dazzling divine light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi enveloped the entire world in just a few breaths. The eyes of billions of living beings reflected the gaze of the Rinnegan, and their consciousnesses were forcibly pulled into a false dream world.
"The technique that corresponds with the Infinite Tsukuyomi is."
Uchiha Madara said, clapping his hands together sharply.
"Divine, Deep Forest Emergence!"
As the divine technique was performed, the roots of the Divine Tree, originally hidden deep underground, fully revived and spread across the entire world in an extremely short time.
At this moment, the power of the Divine Tree reached its peak once more. Nearly all living beings on the planet fell victim. Only a handful of people could maintain their self awareness under the genjutsu of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
"Sasuke, weren't you supposed to be resting. Why suddenly."
Sasuke used Amenotejikara to swap places with a Truth Seeking Ball behind Naruto, then directly activated Susano'o, enveloping him underneath it.
"Be quiet. Do not go out for now. The situation outside is not right. The moon has turned into a Rinnegan, and the moonlight contains powerful ocular power of the Rinnegan!" Sasuke quickly explained.
"Damn it, it must be that Uchiha Madara's doing. Those two bastards, each one is more troublesome than the last." Naruto sat down on the ground, his expression a mix of helplessness and slight dejection.
Having obtained the power of the Six Paths, the two of them were initially full of confidence, thinking they could suppress any enemy and change this world. They did not expect reality to deal them a heavy blow, teaching them the meaning of 'there is always someone better, and beyond the sky there is another heaven'.
"Naruto, do you sense it. The vast, endless chakra deep beneath the earth!" Kurama suddenly reminded him seriously.
"Yeah. Things are getting worse and worse. Sasuke, how much longer until we can go out." Naruto said, looking at Sasuke again.
"The moonlight is still strong outside. Wait a bit longer!"
Center of the main battlefield.
Facing the blinding white light, Ryun instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes. However, after a brief moment of adjustment, he fully exposed himself to the brilliant moonlight, completely ignoring the effects of the Infinite Tsukuyomi!
"Even a genjutsu of this level couldn't affect him. This guy. is indeed very troublesome!"
Uchiha Madara saw this scene from the ground and descended back to the surface the next moment.
"Lord Madara, his eyes are very advanced, they completely immunized him against the Infinite Tsukuyomi." Black Zetsu, who was controlling Obito, quickly came to stand behind Uchiha Madara.
Hearing this, Uchiha Madara nodded slightly. He knew a fierce battle was coming next, his attention entirely on Ryun, completely ignoring Black Zetsu approaching from behind.
"Earlier, you were helping me stall Naruto and the others, weren't you? You don't seem worried about me achieving my goal, or perhaps you are also pleased to see the Infinite Tsukuyomi appear?" Uchiha Madara couldn't help but ask loudly.
He wasn't blind. He saw Ryun blocking Naruto earlier, and Uchiha Madara found his actions hard to understand.
He wondered if Uchiha Ryun had also seen the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths and believed the dream world was the true path.
"You are not mistaken. I was indeed helping you earlier. Who told you were pathetically weak." Ryun laughed and mocked him, not forgetting to insult Uchiha Madara even now.
Hearing this, Uchiha Madara's face instantly darkened.
"The Infinite Tsukuyomi. it is indeed a pleasant dream. It's just a pity that you, the caster, will never get to enjoy the beauty of this dream." Ryun said meaningfully.
"I have already become this world's savior. All that's left is to finish you off." Uchiha Madara responded forcefully, a wildly arrogant smile on his face.
"Do you remember what I told you before? Your smile disgusts me." Ryun said flatly.
"Heh. An ignorant and arrogant fellow, you."
Before Uchiha Madara could finish his sentence, a black hand pierced through his chest the next moment!
Instantly, the smile on Uchiha Madara's face, along with his entire body, froze completely!
'I can't move.'
"Black Zetsu, what are you doing?" Uchiha Madara questioned, both shocked and furious.
"What am I doing? Of course, cleaning you up for me. After all, I said before I would make sure you never smile again." Before Black Zetsu could speak, Ryun answered with a laugh.
"Don't misunderstand. I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing it for Kaguya." Black Zetsu said with a sinister smile.
"Kaguya? But you are my will incarnate, I created you. Why are you doing this." Uchiha Madara was furious.
"Your will incarnate? Created me? Haha. Madara, you are as foolish as Obito. I am the will incarnate of Kaguya. You were merely pawns I used to rescue Mother."
"This so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi is just the 'key' to release the seal. Did you really think you were the world's savior?"
Black Zetsu laid his cards on the table.
"The key to release the seal? The Infinite Tsukuyomi. that is clearly the divine technique for peace left specifically for the Uchiha clan by the Sage of Six Paths!" Uchiha Madara roared in denial.
"Haha! I have existed far longer than you can imagine. I altered the Sage's stone tablet long ago!" Black Zetsu laughed triumphantly.
"Altered?"
Only at this moment did Uchiha Madara suddenly realize the truth, understanding that he had been deceived!
There was no divine technique for peace. It was all a conspiracy. He had been kept in the dark the entire time, a piece on the board unaware of the larger game.
"Why is it like this!"
Uchiha Madara suddenly looked at Ryun and demanded sharply. In the other's eyes, he saw mockery. Perhaps Ryun had known all along that this disaster awaited him.
"Why so many questions? Not every loser has the right to know the truth!" Although Ryun's smile faded, his eyes remained cold and merciless from beginning to end.
As his words fell, Uchiha Madara let out a piercing scream, and his entire body began to swell at a visible rate!
"What is happening!"
At this moment, Sasuke dispelled the Susano'o barrier. The scene that met their eyes shocked both of them.
They saw the ground beneath their feet crack open as vast chakra surged skyward, then poured directly into the massive 'flesh ball'.
"That guy is frantically absorbing everyone's chakra through the Divine Tree!" Kurama sensed the situation.
"Ah. He looks like he's about to burst from all the chakra!" Naruto couldn't help but exclaim.
"Is this Uncle Ryun's doing again? What exactly is he trying to do?" Ryun's expression was too calm facing the swelling flesh ball. Sasuke instantly smelled a conspiracy.
In Sasuke's eyes, this Uncle Ryun might be the final boss. The so-called Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara were all just pawns!
"Why. why is it like this."
As he was about to be completely covered by the power of Yin-Yang Release, the figure of Hashirama Senju flashed through Uchiha Madara's mind.
"Hashirama. where did I go wrong."
He could not get an answer from Ryun, and the long-dead Hashirama Senju could not give him an answer either.
So, the hope for victory never existed. Even the hope for peace was false.
This world, as always, filled him with despair!
"That is."
Under the astonished gazes of Naruto and Sasuke, the swelling flesh ball abruptly contracted, and Uchiha Madara's appearance underwent a drastic change.
The Rabbit Goddess, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. using Uchiha Madara's body. had returned to the world!
Kaguya: Next. changing players!
"The woman who knows everything (the Ōtsutsuki Clan and the Divine Tree). has finally appeared!"
