This eye was the ultimate culmination of Hyuga Gakuya's power—a fusion of the Rinnegan, Tenseigan, Sage Arts, and countless other transcendent forces. It symbolized his ultimate strike, the pinnacle of his abilities.
Slowly, Hyuga Gakuya opened his eyes. In that instant, a terrifying power capable of destroying heaven and earth erupted from the mysterious golden eye. He stepped out from the Kamui dimension, charging straight toward Kaguya.
Kaguya immediately sensed the unprecedented, overwhelming force bearing down on her. For the first time, true fear flickered in her gaze. She turned, ready to escape through the portal behind her.
But in the next moment, Gakuya activated the spatial abilities of the Tenseigan. The space around them locked down completely, sealed tight in an instant.
Kaguya still attempted to resist. She gathered every ounce of her chakra, preparing to launch one final, desperate counterattack.
Gakuya spoke, his voice cold and final:
"It ends now!"
As his words fell, the light blazing from his eye transformed into a roaring torrent, surging straight toward Kaguya.
She threw everything she had into her defense—every technique, every trick—but against such overwhelming, boundless power, it was all meaningless.
The torrent of light tore through her layered defenses with ease, piercing her body with pinpoint precision.
"Ahhh!" Kaguya screamed in agony. Her body began to crack and shatter—only to regenerate again and again, her undying nature forcing her into a cycle of endless pain.
From the side, Black Zetsu cried out in panic, "Mother!"
But Gakuya wasn't done. He split off a sliver of energy and with a flick, it engulfed Black Zetsu completely—erasing him from existence.
Kaguya's body, now irreparably damaged, could no longer regenerate. Even her so-called immortality was failing her.
The light slowly faded. Kaguya had lost consciousness and plummeted from the sky, crashing violently to the ground below.
The dark golden eye on Gakuya's forehead vanished, and he too slowly descended, drained of strength. Under the watchful eyes of Naruto and Sasuke, Gakuya staggered over to Kaguya's fallen form.
First, he used the Rinnegan to extract the Ten Tails from within her, absorbing it into himself.
Strangely, he exhibited none of the changes typically seen in a Ten Tails Jinchūriki. The beast's immense power was suppressed completely within his body, only emerging when he willed it.
Even the Ten Tails, not known for its intelligence, had clearly learned its lesson after being bested repeatedly by Gakuya.
"Goodbye... Kaguya."
As he spoke, Kaguya's body was slowly wrapped in strange black flesh and faded from view, vanishing before everyone's eyes.
In that moment, Gakuya felt all the Ōtsutsuki genes within his body awaken.
The issues of bloodline purity that once limited him were gone. The Rinnegan in his eye evolved, shining with dazzling golden brilliance.
As he felt the transformation, an unparalleled surge of power coursed through his body.
Naruto and Sasuke approached.
Naruto beamed. "We did it!"
"Congratulations, senpai," Sasuke said, eyes full of admiration.
Gakuya nodded.
"Come on. There's one final thing I need to do—to build a new world."
...
Gakuya activated Yomotsu Hirasaka with his golden Rinnegan, effortlessly transporting the Naruto and Sasuke of the Primordial World, as well as Obito, Kakashi, and Minato from the Magma World—bringing them all back to the world of the shinobi.
Naruto looked around, confused.
"Wait... Kaguya's gone, right? So why is everyone still stuck up in the trees?"
Sasuke's expression shifted. He seemed to realize something and turned to Gakuya with hopeful eyes.
Gakuya smiled. "No rush. I was planning to use this opportunity to bring a few people back."
Naruto leapt with excitement.
"You mean—you can bring my parents back?!"
"Of course."
"This... might not be appropriate," Minato said hesitantly.
Gakuya responded, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. If I'm going to build a unified Shinobi Federation, rewards and justice must go hand in hand."
"Federation ninja Naruto—participant in the Fifth Great Shinobi War, instrumental to victory—authorized to revive four loved ones."
Sasuke's heart sank at those words. But then Gakuya continued:
"Federation ninja Sasuke—despite past mistakes, he played a crucial role in the war—authorized to revive three loved ones."
"Federation ninja Kakashi—authorized to revive two loved ones."
"Federation ninja Obito—authorized to revive one loved one."
Gakuya raised his hand. A massive array of ancient script lit up, covering a hundred-meter radius.
With a blinding flash of light, people began appearing one by one.
Not just Minato, Kushina, Fugaku, Mikoto, Itachi, and Sakumo... but also Rin Nohara, whom Gakuya had transported to the scene.
There were the Hyuga patriarch Hiashi and his wife, Gakuya's own parents, Nagato, Sasori, Deidara, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, the Third Raikage, Rasa of Sunagakure, and many more.
In total, well over a hundred people had returned—some were relatives of those who had earned the privilege, to win over hearts; others were powerful allies, revived to bolster the Shinobi World's strength for the battles ahead against the Ōtsutsuki.
Naruto immediately lunged into Kushina's arms. She gasped in surprise but quickly recovered and hugged him tightly.
Sasuke walked toward his father and brother. The Uchiha family reunited at last.
Itachi looked around at the resurrected crowd, then at Gakuya, whose power was now undeniable. A quiet smile tugged at his lips as he shook his head.
He had no intention of telling his poor younger brother that he'd been manipulated. Better to spare Sasuke a shattered resolve.
When the Hyuga couple and Hyuga Gakuya's parents opened their eyes, the first thing they saw was Hyuga Gakuya standing in front of them.
"Hiashi! Gakuya! It's you… This isn't the Pure Land. We've been brought back to life?" the woman exclaimed in surprise upon seeing everyone.
"It seems so. The Fourth Hokage and his wife are here too," Hiashi replied, glancing around at the familiar faces that had also been revived.
"Gakuya… this was your doing, wasn't it?"
He had a strong feeling this was all thanks to Hyuga Gakuya—just like the conviction he once had that Gakuya was destined for greatness.
Gakuya smiled and gave a small nod, silently confirming it.
In that moment, the mother Gakuya had never met in this life threw her arms around him.
"It's you, isn't it? My son… sob sob…"
Gakuya stiffened slightly. After all, this was the first time he'd ever met his mother in this world.
Still, he gently patted her on the back. They had given their lives so he could live—he owed them that much.
His father, Hyuga Tokima, stood silently off to the side, eyes full of emotion as he looked at his son.
Gakuya said quietly, "Let's save the catching up for later. I still have a few things to take care of."
He then opened the Rinnegan on his forehead—nine tomoe spinning slowly in its depths—and released the Infinite Tsukuyomi and Divine Tree: World of Trees control over everyone.
The tree cocoons that enveloped people all over the world began to unfurl. One by one, they awoke from the genjutsu, dazed and disoriented, their eyes scanning the world around them in confusion.
Gakuya stepped forward, facing the Five Kage.
"Let's talk about building a true Shinobi Federation."
There was no need to say more—his overwhelming strength radiated from him like a silent storm.
The Five Kage exchanged glances. All they could do was smile wryly and nod in agreement.
