Naruto: Naruto started the Fourth Shinobi World War for me

Zuo Yue lost. Even with the legendary Rinnegan, she was still completely outmatched in stats against Six Paths Naruto.

Looking at the fallen Zuoyue, Naruko softly apologized to her, and as if she had made up her mind, she gouged out her own right eye.

"Naruko!?"

Zuo Yue didn't understand Naruko's sudden action, but then Naruko's bloody fingers pried open her right eye.

Naruko took away the kaleidoscope that had degenerated into a normal eye.

Accompanied by Zuo Yue's painful wails, Mingzi pressed her eyes, which were imbued with Yang power, back into Zuo Yue's eye sockets, and then pressed Zuo Yue's eyes into her own.

"I'm sorry, but... it's necessary."

Mingzi took out the talisman Ningxia had left her and used the power of the horse talisman to heal Zuoyue and herself, allowing the nerves in their swapped eyes to reconnect.

The Mangekyou Sharingan, imbued with Yin energy, merged with the Yang energy within Naruko's body, transforming into the Rinnegan with six tomoe. However, the horse talisman was still repairing its flaws, and it broke through to become the golden nine tomoe in one fell swoop.

However, the cost was the complete depletion of the Yang energy left behind by the Sage of Six Paths, and he himself exited Six Paths Mode.

However, Naruko didn't care. This power wasn't hers to begin with, so it wasn't a loss to turn it into her own before it disappeared.

Seeing Zuo Yue faint from the pain, Naruko knew she had made the right bet. She could evolve her Rinnegan by transplanting Mangekyou Sharingan, which possessed Indra's chakra and contained some Yin power.

Therefore, Zuo Yue, having obtained the eye that houses the power of Asura and Yang, can also continue to evolve.

"Nine-Tails, how long will it take for them to revive?"

Naruko softly inquired about the Nine-Tails within her body. With Urashiki's death, the tailed beasts he had absorbed were freed, but they too were plunged into death.

"Six years."

Kurama answered sullenly. As the third party residing in Naruko's body, she knew Naruko's thoughts all too well.

"Six years... Then let's master this eye within six years, and even master or surpass the Six Paths Mode."

"And Obito Uchiha... even if you hide in the Pure Land of the Dead, I will erase your body and soul!"

Naruto's golden Rinnegan, filled with an uncontrollable killing intent, was filled with hatred for this world without Ningxia, and even more hatred for Uchiha Obito.

She wouldn't care even if her parents were killed, but Ningxia... Ningxia was the only light in this world full of suffering for her.

When the light fades, only endless darkness remains.

"Naruko..."

Kurama hesitated, while Naruko apologized to Kurama, saying that she... probably could no longer give Kurama freedom, and that what she was going to do in the future would inevitably kill Kurama.

"..."

After a long silence, Kurama coldly reprimanded Naruko for overthinking things. How could she possibly help Naruko? It's just that... she also wanted to find that damned man.

They are merely collaborators at best; they can continue to use their own chakra, and they will continue to refine Sage Chakra for Naruto.

But... Naruko must promise her that she will find Ningxia and eliminate all the invading Otsutsuki.

Let them never return!

"I will."

As night fell, Naruko used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Konoha, put Zuoyue back in her home, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique again.

Because of the battle with Urashiki, her and Ningxia's home was affected and collapsed.

But now that things have come to this, not many people will pay attention to her, and she can also recover some things.

"Naruko..."

Bai appeared out of nowhere; she was too weak and had no right to join the battle.

It wasn't until the dust settled that she learned Ningxia had disappeared.

"Sister Bai..."

Naruko's feelings were complicated. Haku was the kindest person to her in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, apart from Ningxia.

If Bai wanted to stop her, she really didn't know whether she should take action or not.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

Bai took out a carefully preserved photo, which Ningxia took on Mingzi's eleventh birthday.

In the photo, Ningxia is gently holding Naruto, with Haku and Toneri standing on either side. Kakashi, Yugao, Yekura, Shisui, and Zuoyue are all around Ningxia.

"Let's just consider it... a memory."

Bai said softly.

"Thank you, Sister Bai."

Naruko carefully put away the photos, and then Shiro handed her the prepared luggage, giving her instructions:

"I know I can't stop you, but... I hope you can remember, Naruko, that Lord Ningxia... he wants you to live a peaceful life."

"This has always been his expectation, for you... and for me..."

At this point, Bai could no longer stop crying.

"I will live a good life because... Lord Ningxia said he hopes I can become an independent person..."

"I will... I will let Lord Ningxia know that Bai will live a good life... I... I definitely will..."

In Iwagakure, during his break, Onoki was leisurely drinking tea at home. Ever since Deidara had mastered the art of blasting ore, life in Iwagakure had become increasingly comfortable.

But the price was that the roxalis became even more bitter.

He was already working hard enough mining day and night to pay off his debts, but then Iwagakure played a game of infighting with him, driving down the price of gold.

Suddenly, a tremor came from the Tsuchikage Building, startling Onoki so much that he sprayed yellow dust all over his face.

Ignoring his son, Onoki rushed to the window and witnessed the Tsuchikage Building crumble into ruins with a deafening roar.

Onoki felt his head buzzing, and quickly realized that it was his stupid apprentice who did it!

"Was everything recorded?"

Deidara looked at Kurotsuchi, who was recording the entire collapse of the Tsuchikage Building with a camera, and Kurotsuchi gave him a thumbs up.

"Now...my teacher will definitely be proud of me, right?"

Looking at his masterpiece, Deidara was looking forward to seeing Ningxia again, but he also felt a vague unease.

Is my teacher alright?

Following Urashiki Otsutsuki's actions in Konoha, the existence of aliens was definitively confirmed, causing many to begin to worry.

One Otsutsuki alien was able to defeat the strongest ninja village like this, and the Hokage even died in battle. If a few more come, the ninja world might be colonized.

Then came Ningxia's disappearance, drawing the attention of countless people to an Uchiha who had long since died.

Currently, Obito Uchiha is the most wanted criminal in the ninja world. The Ouroboros Company, Konoha, Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and even the Akatsuki organization are all hunting her down.

Taking advantage of Konoha's current state of decline, Rasa decided to go all in again. If he won this time, he could save Konoha from paying war reparations.

He's had enough of mining every day to pay off his debts!

But Shisui quickly launched another surprise attack on Sunagakure, this time not just defeating them, but occupying the village.

As the Sixth Hokage, Shisui deeply understood that it was impossible to defeat the Otsutsuki without uniting the forces of the entire ninja world.

She wants to do what Madara Uchiha couldn't: unify the ninja world, accumulate power, and use the heads of the Otsutsuki clan to pay for Ningxia's demise!
