"You're... one of the Otsutsuki main branch?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki stared at Heiyan, her voice laced with shock and uncertainty.
All along, this had been her greatest fear—after secretly consuming the Chakra Fruit, the main branch had discovered her crime and come to this planet to capture her and reclaim the fruit.
Thankfully, Black Zetsu had revived her just in time, allowing her to stop everything before it could unfold.
"Who am I? That's a question I can't easily explain to you right now."
Heiyan sighed. He didn't want to waste time talking—he knew he wasn't Naruto, and sheer talk wouldn't beat her.
So he locked eyes with Kaguya and spoke bluntly:
"Listen carefully, Kaguya Otsutsuki. I'm giving you one chance—back down now, and let's end the thousand-year conflict in the ninja world together. Make your choice."
"Mother, don't listen to him. Hurry up and activate Infinite Tsukuyomi to regain your power."
Black Zetsu urged urgently from within Kaguya's sleeve.
Hearing this, Kaguya hesitated only briefly before deciding to follow Black Zetsu's advice—for he was the embodiment of her will, her very own son.
She didn't care who Heiyan was—whether he came from the Otsutsuki main branch or was born on this planet. So long as she regained her chakra, no enemy could stand against her.
Kaguya firmly believed that only then could she bring true peace to this world.
Slowly, the Rinne Sharingan on her forehead turned toward the moon, its eye glowing with deep crimson light.
Of course, Heiyan wouldn't allow it.
Shup!
With a wave of his hand, he activated Kamui's power, sweeping Kaguya high into the sky, ten thousand meters above.
Only here could Heiyan fully unleash his strength without worrying about the aftershocks of power affecting those below.
[Amenominaka!]
Faced with Heiyan's provocation, Kaguya frowned and instantly activated Kekkei Mora. She not only escaped from his Kamui space but also counterattacked by trapping Heiyan inside her spatial domain.
Molten lava, icy blizzards, crushing gravity, swirling sandstorms, and corrosive acid—five specialized spaces connected to Kaguya's Ōtsutsuki Space formed an inescapable prison.
At this point, Heiyan held nothing back either. He unleashed his full strength, activating Sage's Domain to counter Amenominaka.
Their battle shook the heavens, turning the skies ten thousand meters above into a storm of thunderclouds and blood-red chaos—an apocalyptic catastrophe seemingly already upon the world.
Though Kaguya had yet to recover all her chakra, she remained a member of the Otsutsuki clan who once consumed the Chakra Fruit. Her absolute strength surpassed Heiyan's.
Besides, Heiyan was, after all, merely a clone of his original body. As time passed, he gradually began to fall behind in this earth-shattering battle.
In the face of worsening odds, Heiyan knew he must wait patiently for that one decisive moment—the single opportunity that would allow him to turn the tide completely…
Back on the ground.
Tsunade, Samui, Mei Terumi, Izumi—Heiyan's apprentices—Shinrin, Haku, along with Naruto and Sasuke, the successive Hokage...
At this moment, over a hundred thousand members of the Allied Ninja Forces were holding their breath as they stared up at the battle raging ten thousand meters above.
Because they knew—the outcome of that battle would determine the fate of the entire ninja world.
In that suffocating silence, time seemed to drag on forever, each second feeling like an eternity.
Finally, after what felt like an endless wait...
The aerial conflict gradually came to an end. Beams of light pierced through the clouds, shining down onto the battlefield of the Great Ninja War, forming vast patches of radiant illumination.
"That's..."
Tsunade suddenly narrowed her eyes, her face instantly draining of all color.
Because she saw Heiyan's body slowly descending from a shaft of light. Before it could even touch the ground, it began dissolving into countless rays of light, scattering away piece by piece.
Following closely behind was Kaguya Otsutsuki descending from the sky. She spread her arms wide, robes flowing gracefully, like an ultimate goddess gazing down indifferently at the insignificant masses below.
"We're doomed."
Mei Terumi murmured softly before collapsing to the ground.
"Everyone, stay strong! Don't give up!"
Naruto shouted loudly. Together with Sasuke, he prepared desperately to resist and fight Kaguya Otsutsuki until the very end.
At this moment, Kaguya landed on the battlefield before them.
Without hesitation, Naruto and Sasuke activated Sage Mode and Susanoo respectively, charging fiercely toward Kaguya.
But Kaguya simply flicked her hand dismissively, sending both fighters flying like ragdolls.
Then, without a word, Kaguya strode straight through the stunned crowd until she stood before Tsunade.
Swish.
Suddenly, Tsunade sprang forward with fists flying, undaunted by death itself.
Yet Kaguya merely reached out and caught her wrist mid-motion, rendering the surprise attack meaningless.
"Don't panic. It's me—Heiyan."
Kaguya suddenly smiled and spoke. "That fallen Heiyan was only my clone. Now, my consciousness has taken over Kaguya's body, erased her awareness, and replaced her completely."
Indeed, Heiyan had used [False Form, True Shape] in the final critical moment.
This technique originated from Danzo's Mangekyo Sharingan—it would activate automatically when an enemy killed him, forcibly seizing control of their physical body with his own consciousness, thereby continuing to exist as a replacement.
Heiyan had previously written this ability into his Sharingan. After nurturing it for some time, it evolved into Kekkei Mora—a final trump card destined for defeating Kaguya Otsutsuki.
"Teacher? Is it really you!"
Izumi Uchiha rushed forward joyfully, grabbing Kaguya's hand.
Among everyone present, she had spent the most time with Heiyan. Having also transplanted some of his cells, master and student shared a deep spiritual connection. Therefore, she quickly sensed Heiyan's familiar aura emanating from Kaguya standing before them.
"It is Heiyan—it truly is Master Heiyan."
"We've won!"
Coming back to their senses, people whispered excitedly among themselves.
This news soon spread across the entire Allied Ninja Forces. A wave of cheers surged through the ranks as countless warriors let out a collective sigh of relief and began celebrating their hard-earned victory.
However, the battle was far from over.
The final clash of this Great Ninja War took place between Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke.
Both fought wholeheartedly for the Hokage position.
Tsunade, Kakashi, and all previous Hokages in Konoha history silently allowed this youthful duel to proceed without interference.
Much to Heiyan's surprise, a fight Naruto Uzumaki was supposed to win ended up with Sasuke coming out on top instead.
"I lost, Sasuke. Congratulations."
Naruto Uzumaki, the defeated one, lowered his head gloomily.
Just as his dream crumbled away, Sakura stepped forward and gently took his hand, offering warm comfort:
"Naruto, you did really well. I'll always be with you. Cheer up."
"Sakura..." Naruto lifted his head, his eyes regaining their sparkle.
At this moment, their eyes met, and a passionate feeling began brewing between them.
Indeed.
He gets the Hokage title, you get the girl.
Seeing this scene, Heiyan shook his head with a smile. At the same time, he noticed Hinata standing nearby. She stared blankly at Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura, looking lonely and pitiful.
So Heiyan lightly patted Izumi Uchiha's shoulder, signaling with his eyes for her to approach with Suiren and Haku, offering some heartfelt comfort to Hinata.
...
Half a month later.
The Fourth Great Ninja War had ended. Because Heiyan himself wished to remain low-key, he wasn't the main character in those heroic stories about saving the world.
The protagonist was Sasuke Uchiha.
This young man became the youngest Hokage in Konoha history after Tsunade announced her resignation.
Though highly controversial at first, within just a few days of taking office, Sasuke displayed part of his excellent qualities and abilities, gradually silencing opposition and earning support from many people.
It could already be foreseen that in the near future, he would certainly become an outstanding Hokage, perhaps even the greatest ever, ushering Konoha into a brand-new era unlike anything before.
As expected, Naruto and Sakura ended up together, falling deeply in love.
Although Naruto Uzumaki failed to become Hokage, he gained the goddess of his heart. Whether he truly won or lost remained a matter only he could fully understand.
Night had fallen, city lights began flickering on.
In the Senju Clan's family mansion, inside a bedroom.
Kaguya Otsutsuki and Tsunade were lying face-to-face on the bed, chatting.
Sighing, Tsunade said, "Even after so many days, it's still hard getting used to."
While caressing Kaguya's face, Tsunade sighed again. Though Kaguya shared similar traits with Heiyan—[flowing white hair] and [a pair of horns]—aside from that, she was completely different in gender and appearance.
Even though half a month had passed, Tsunade still struggled to accept the fact that her man had suddenly become a strange woman.
"Don't worry. When we return to our original world, I'll seal away this body. Then I'll be who I used to be."
Heiyan gently stroked Tsunade's face as he reassured her.
For days he kept working on convincing her until, finally, he succeeded—he got her to agree to come back with him to the parallel world.
Tsunade remained silent.
Though she had agreed to accompany Heiyan, she still felt uneasy about what lay ahead.
Heiyan noticed her unease and a thought crossed his mind. In one smooth motion, he leaned in and gently pinned her beneath him.
"What are you doing?"
Tsunade looked up at Kaguya instinctively trying to push her away.
"You've forgotten, haven't you? As an immortal sage who's mastered the Yin and Yang Release, I can not only heal damaged organs, but even create ones that never existed."
Heiyan grinned mischievously, proudly declaring, "Kaguya may be a woman now, but I can reshape her very body to be as powerful as a man's. How does that sound to you?"
Tsunade froze for a moment before suddenly blushing furiously, pushing him while stammering:
"No! No! Stop it! Samui is sleeping in the next room! Don't let her hear us!"
In her eyes, Heiyan's idea was outrageous—too bold, too bizarre to even consider.
But...
Strangely enough, it did sound kind of exciting.
So, after half-heartedly resisting at first, Tsunade eventually gave in to Heiyan without a fight.
The two ended up sharing an intense and unforgettable night together...
Some time passed.
Today marked the day Heiyan would leave.
Bright and early, he quietly set out with Tsunade, Samui, Izumi Uchiha, Haku, and Shinrin, arriving at an empty lot behind Konoha's back hills.
Here, Heiyan summoned the space-time gate—an ethereal portal shimmering with cosmic energy—as if ready to pull them all into another dimension.
Right then, a red-haired woman wearing a low-cut blue dress rushed toward them, clearly out of breath.
It was Mei Terumi.
"So, giving up being Mizukage already?" Heiyan stopped, teasingly remarking.
"I just decided to take a temporary vacation. During this period, I've entrusted the village to Sage Master and asked him to properly evaluate Chojuro, to see if that guy has the potential to become the next Mizukage. If Chojuro falls short of expectations, I'll definitely return."
Mei flipped her hair, speaking with a mixture of arrogance and nervousness.
Actually, she had already made plans with Heiyan to visit his world for some relaxing sightseeing, secretly hoping she might find a suitable partner along the way.
Heiyan had promised that whenever Mei wanted to return, all she needed to do was ask.
"Well then, let's go."
Smiling happily, Mei hurried forward, eager to step through the space-time gate.
Hmm?
Suddenly Heiyan's gaze shifted to a figure hiding behind a nearby tree, hesitating between advancing and retreating.
"It's Hinata!"
Spotting her first, Izumi quickly ran over and pulled the shy girl forward.
"Hinata, have you come to bid us farewell?" Heiyan looked at this quiet yet adorable girl with a gentle smile.
"Master Heiyan... I..."
Hinata seemed hesitant, but encouraged by the supportive gazes from Izumi, Shinrin, and Haku, she finally gathered her courage. Bowing deeply before Heiyan, she declared her decision in front of everyone present.
"Honored Master Heiyan, please accept me as your disciple! I wish to train under your tutelage so that one day I may restore the Byakugan and bring glory back to the Hyuga clan!"
She found the courage to say those words, and her face was already flushed red.
Since Naruto and Sakura got together, Hinata had fallen into a deep slump, locking herself in her room and refusing to come out for days.
But in recent days, with visits and companionship from Izumi, Shinrin, and Haku, she had finally begun to emerge from her isolation. And she developed the idea of following Master Heiyan to train alongside her close girlfriends.
Upon learning about Hinata's thoughts, her father Hiashi Hyuga fully expressed his support for his daughter.
He hoped Hinata could go out and explore the world, training under the guidance of a true powerful shinobi. Only this way could she eventually stand on her own two feet.
"I understand."
After confirming Hinata's determination, Heiyan took her hand and warmly welcomed her decision.
Then, the group of eight stepped through the space-time gate one by one, using the power of the Dragon Vein to leave this world behind.
Thus, this phase of Heiyan's journey across timelines came to an end.
He arrived here completely alone.
Yet on his return trip, he was bringing back seven uniquely beautiful young women—each of them his lover, his students, or newly made friends.
Of course, if we count him—Kaguya Otsutsuki's current male vessel—it would be eight people in total, all of them uniquely beautiful women except for him.
