Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

"This guy's target really is the Divine Tree!"

Madara Uchiha, who was absorbing the Divine Tree, saw Shuichi Hoshishita also devouring the roots of the Divine Tree: "Does he know some secret that I don't?"

"He had a chance to take down the Ten-Tails before!"

"Could it be that the Divine Tree and the Ten-Tails are not the same?"

At this moment, Hoshino Shuichi had already eaten the roots of the divine tree, and a change appeared in the way his eyes opened and closed.

The original Mangekyou Sharingan has been transformed into a golden Rinnegan with three tomoe.

The three-tomoe golden Rinne Sharingan is awakened!

……

"What happened?"

"The divine tree has disappeared!"

Because they were too far away, Hashirama Senju and the others could not see Madara Uchiha absorbing the Divine Tree.

However, Obito Uchiha, Kakashi, and Guy, who were close to the battlefield, could see it clearly.

Kakashi said, "Madara Uchiha has taken back the Divine Tree, but I have a bad feeling about it."

Obito Uchiha frowned and shouted, "Kakashi, take Guy and retreat first!"

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and vanished instantly with Gai.

Obito Uchiha arrived at Hoshino's side as quickly as possible, and only after dispelling Susanoo did he realize that Hoshino's eyes were different.

"This is……"

"Rinnegan!"

Obito Uchiha was shocked.

Having awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan is one thing, but now he's awakened the Rinnegan too?

Even though he's from the Uchiha clan, he hasn't awakened the Rinnegan!

The sacred tree?

Obito Uchiha realized that he had previously observed that Hoshino Shuichi had devoured a portion of the Divine Tree, as well as the lower half of Madara Uchiha's body, and even the lower half of Nagato's body after he became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki.

However, even though he realized this, he still didn't understand why Hoshino Shuichi was able to awaken the Rinnegan, and even a Rinnegan with tomoe.

Even after Madara Uchiha became the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, his Rinnegan didn't change much.

Hoshita Shuichi didn't explain. He looked up at Uchiha Madara, who was about to absorb the entire God Tree, and said, "Obito, get ready, the Infinite Tsukuyomi is coming!"

Obito Uchiha's expression changed.

At this moment, Hoshino Shuichi's clones appeared one by one, and then continuously merged into Hoshino Shuichi's main body.

These clones were used to collect White Zetsu cells on the battlefield, but at the same time, the clones that Hoshino Shuichi left in Konoha were also dispelled.

But as the clones were withdrawn, one after another, clones emerged from Hoshino Shizuka's body and then disappeared.

Konoha Headquarters.

Hoshino Shuichi appeared with Tsunade and Tenyun: "Third Hokage, the Infinite Tsukuyomi is about to begin. With my current power, I can only protect a portion of the people."

"Everyone, gather together and don't move around."

As he spoke, Hoshino Hideaki raised his hand, and the huge dome of the base camp was immediately lifted.

It was just evening, the sun was setting, and the bright moon was high in the sky.

The shocked Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others looked up and saw that the bright moon was gradually turning blood red.

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in a deep voice, "Shuichi, are you unable to stop Madara Uchiha from casting Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

Hoshino Shuichi withdrew his gaze and said, "I can."

"However, I sensed an even more powerful presence."

"The so-called Eye of the Moon Plan is probably not what Madara Uchiha thought at all."

"When the Sage of Six Paths sealed the Ten-Tails on the moon, there must have been other secrets hidden behind it. Now, those secrets are about to be revealed."

"I want to solve this problem completely, rather than leaving it to future generations."

Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Third Hokage, don't worry, even the Infinite Tsukuyomi can be broken!"

"This is……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared in shock into Shuichi Hoshita's eyes: "You've awakened the Rinnegan too!"

Tsunade, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Ao, and the others were all shocked.

"Didn't you analyze before that you wanted the Senju and Uchiha clans..."

Tsunade was puzzled.

Hoshino Hideaki said, "Because the source of everything is the Divine Tree, or rather, the Ten-Tails!"

At this time, Chihiro, who was heavily pregnant, arrived with Biwako, the mother of Shinnosuke.

"They're here!"

When Xingxia Xiu looked up, she saw that the nine-comma jade had appeared on the surface of the moon.

Susanoo!

A massive, golden, fully-formed Susanoo stood tall, then spread its wings.

"Everyone, gather around!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others gathered around.

And almost simultaneously.

At the medical camp, Hoshino's clone protected the medical ninjas, including Nono, Asuka, Shizune, and Rin.

On each battlefield, clones erected Susanoo, protecting some of the Allied Shinobi Forces' strongest members.

Mei Terumi, Pakura, Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, Guy, Dai... and so on.

High in the sky, Madara Uchiha completed his hand seals.

Unlimited monthly reading!

A colossal phantom of Kaguya Otsutsuki appeared, using the moon as its eye to look down upon most of the planet.

The next moment, the moon burst into light, illuminating most of the planet.

All the people and animals that were touched by the light had their eyes transformed into Rinnegan, their bodies became immobile, but their consciousness remained somewhat clear.

At this moment, apart from a few people protected by Hoshinoichi's Susanoo, more than 80,000 members of the Allied Shinobi Forces, as well as countless people and beasts from various countries, were all hit by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

On the main battlefield, Black Zetsu, attached to White Zetsu, emerged from the ground and looked at the golden Susanoo, which was unaffected by the light, with surprise: "He's actually unaffected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

"Those eyes...they actually surpass even the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

Black Zetsu had been watching Hoshino Shuichi from the shadows, and naturally saw Hoshino Shuichi activate his Rinnegan.

"However, these are all minor troubles."

Black Zetsu was brimming with confidence: "Once Mom is resurrected, we can completely reclaim the nine tailed beasts and all their chakra!"

"She is the progenitor of chakra, possessing supreme power!"

……

In Konoha, when the light disappeared, Hoshinoichi withdrew his Susanoo, and Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others immediately leaped out of the main camp. Then they saw people standing there in a daze on the streets of Konoha.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived in front of a person, he saw that the person's eyes had transformed into the Rinnegan.

Upon entering the room, they found that the people inside were no exception.

They then leaped to the Hokage Rock and looked down upon the entire Hidden Leaf Village, discovering that all people and animals were the same.

"This is the Infinite Tsukuyomi... Is the entire ninja world like this?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was deeply shocked.

Xingxia Xiuyi glanced at the now-restored moon and said, "It will be like this wherever the light shines."

"However, this is probably not over yet!"

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

Nara Shikaku quickly asked, "Shuichi, is there anything else?"

Hoshino Hideaki said, "Infinite Tsukuyomi, this doesn't seem like a simple ultimate illusion that allows people to enter a dream."

"On the battlefield before, Madara Uchiha used the God Tree to capture ninjas and absorb their chakra."

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this, and Qing couldn't help but swallow hard: "No way..."

Just then, a loud rumbling sound erupted as thick tree trunks burst forth from the ground, spreading in all directions.

Immediately afterward, under the gaze of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, vines fell down, binding and tying up the people who were under the illusion, and then hanging them up.

Zongzi have appeared!

"What is this?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi leaped to the side of an ANBU member and tried to save him, but found that even though the vines were cut, they continued to grow and there was no way to stop them.

Seeing that he couldn't save them, Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to Shuichi Hoshino's side: "Shuichi, if we can't save these people, are we just going to have our chakra drained by Madara Uchiha?"

"I won't let him succeed, and besides, Madara Uchiha probably also..."

With that, Hoshino said to Tsunade, "You two stay here, I'll take the Third Hokage to the battlefield."

"Don't worry, the war will end soon."

With that, Hoshino Shuichi disappeared with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Meanwhile, on the Fourth Division battlefield, Hoshino Shuichi took Jiraiya away after he entered Sage Mode.

……

The main battlefield.

Hashirama Senju, Onoki, the Fourth Raikage, and Tobirama Senju, along with many other reanimated individuals, all stopped and gathered around Shuichi Hoshino.

Immediately afterwards, Hoshino Shuichi's clone arrived with shadows from other battlefields.

Watching Uchiha Madara fall from the sky, Hoshino said, "It seems the origins of White Zetsu are now clear."

Tobirama Senju immediately realized what was happening. Looking at the ninjas wrapped in vines and hanging there, he exclaimed in surprise, "Could those White Zetsu be those who have been affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

Minato Namikaze speculated, "Could it be that the Ten-Tails once used Infinite Tsukuyomi, which is why it was divided and sealed by the Sage of Six Paths?"

Xingxia Xiu said, "I think someone will tell us the answer soon!"

At this moment, Madara Uchiha landed, looked at Hoshino Shuichi and the others, and chuckled as he rotated his Nine-Tomoe Sharingan, "It seems that only you little insects are left. But it doesn't matter, you will all enter the Dream World soon."

"From this day forward, a world without evil chakra will be born."

"It will all end."

Black Zetsu emerged from behind Madara Uchiha, but Madara didn't care. Black Zetsu was the embodiment of his will, and it was because of Black Zetsu that he was able to control Nagato to revive himself, so he never doubted anything.

However, Hashirama Senju and the others looked shocked.

puff!

Madara Uchiha froze, his three eyes widening in astonishment.

His heart was ripped out from behind by Black Zetsu!

"Ban, you're wrong!"

Black Zetsu slowly spoke: "You are not the savior, and this is not over yet!"

Kai looked on, completely bewildered: "What's going on?"

"Aren't they in cahoots?"

Obito Uchiha's pupils constricted sharply: "What... what's going on?"

"Could Black Zetsu be the mastermind Shuichi was talking about?"

"impossible!"

"Wasn't the Black Zetsu created by Madara Uchiha himself?"

Obito Uchiha's mind was in a state of confusion because he had witnessed the birth of Black Zetsu.

Ōnoki, the Fourth Raikage, and others knew very little about it, and at this moment they were also staring wide-eyed in shock.

"Is this internal strife?"

"In that case, wouldn't this be a golden opportunity for us?"

The Second Tsuchikage spoke up.

The Fourth Raikage snapped out of his daze, lightning crackling around him, and shouted, "You're right! We should take this opportunity to capture them all and rescue the others!"

Hoshita Shuichi said calmly, "No rush, let's see the truth of this war first!"

Black Zetsu, who had pierced through Madara Uchiha with a single blow, looked at Hoshino Shuichi: "This is truly astonishing. You seem to know a great deal of secrets, secrets that I've hidden in history!"

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled upon hearing this: "Although history is like a little girl who can be dressed up however one pleases, there are always some clues."

"Furthermore, not everyone is as naive and idealistic as Uchiha Madara."

"The Eye of the Moon Plan hidden on the Uchiha clan's stone tablet has too many flaws. Anyone with a modicum of common sense would not completely believe its contents."

Black Zetsu laughed: "But the Uchiha clan believed it!"

"This is the result of my efforts over thousands of years, and you say it's nothing."

Everyone was shocked, and Nagato exclaimed, "Over a thousand years... just who are you?"

Obito Uchiha immediately shouted, "Black Zetsu, I saw with my own eyes that you were created by Madara Uchiha!"

Black Zetsu laughed and said, "That was all arranged by me."

"Ban was fooled by me; he thought I was created by him."

"But in reality, it was I who guided him onto the path of Project Eye of the Moon."

Fugaku Uchiha shouted, "So, you're saying that you modified the contents of the Uchiha clan's stone tablet?"

Black Zetsu nodded: "Of course, that was indeed my masterpiece."

"Back then, during the battle at the Valley of the End, when I saw Madara Uchiha fail, I thought I would have to keep waiting. I never expected that he would fake his death and escape, and even obtain the power of Ashura's reincarnation, thus awakening the Rinnegan."

"Heh heh, I've made the Senju and Uchiha fight for over a thousand years, and finally, I have a perfect seed!"

Madara Uchiha slowly turned his eyes, but his body was completely immobile and unable to resist.

Black Zetsu said, "Don't bother struggling anymore, Madara. What you think belongs to you, doesn't belong to you."

"Whether it's the Ten-Tails, the other tailed beasts, or even the chakra of you people, it all belongs to the progenitor of chakra—my mother!"

Minato Namikaze and the others were shocked upon hearing this.

Immediately afterwards, chakra surged from the ninjas who were hanging like rice dumplings.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze sharpened: "Just as Shuichi said, the Divine Tree absorbs chakra."

"If that's the case, then it's really bad."

Hiruzen Sarutobi broke out in a cold sweat.

Hashirama Senju and the others also noticed it, and Tobirama Senju shouted, "Shuichi, can you stop the Divine Tree from absorbing everyone's chakra?"

Before Hoshino could answer, Black Zetsu shouted, "Don't waste your energy! Just wait for the ancestor of chakra to descend!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the earth suddenly shook and cracked, and then powerful bursts of chakra shot up from the ground.

"Be careful!"

Hashirama Senju shouted, and the ninjas scattered in all directions.

Immediately afterwards, Madara Uchiha let out a scream, and his body, which was gradually being corrupted by Black Zetsu, began to swell as a massive amount of chakra surged in.

Minato Namikaze, landing on the ground, said somewhat uneasily, "Just as Shuichi predicted, Madara Uchiha was completely just a pawn!"

"The combined chakra of such a massive number of people... this power might surpass Shuichi's!"

Kakashi, who had just landed nearby, quickly asked, "Did Shuichi suggest a solution to this situation?"

Minato Namikaze looked at Shuichi Hoshita in the air: "Now we have no choice but to trust him!"

On the other side, Jiraiya couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the chosen one I've been searching for all this time is Shuichi?"

"If it weren't for him, probably no one would have escaped this calamity."

Upon hearing this, Master Shima said, "Then we can only pray that he is the chosen one."

The immortal master looked grave: "However, the master has never dreamed of this child."

"We originally wanted him to see the master, but he seems to be deliberately avoiding it!"

Immediately upon hearing this, Master Shima became angry: "Perhaps the master dreamed of him while we were out."

……

On the other side, watching Uchiha Madara swell and become increasingly covered in black matter, Onoki couldn't help but tremble: "Things are getting worse and worse. This guy's chakra is even more terrifying than before."

The Second Tsuchikage said, "Onoki, take the survivors and escape. Hopefully, we who have died can buy you some time."

The Third Raikage also said, "Ah, let's run. This guy's power has surpassed that of the previous Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. Even that kid named Hoshino Shuichi is no match for him."

Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, also felt fear at this moment. The chakra gathered by the Divine Tree was simply too terrifying, and according to Black Zetsu's words earlier, an even more terrifying enemy was about to appear.

"Can Shuichi defeat such a terrifying being?"

Mei Terumi looked at her man in the air, then gritted her teeth: "No, it can definitely be done!"

"Shuichi can definitely do it!"

At this moment, the Fourth Raikage shouted, "The entire ninja world is already trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi. What's the point of escaping now?"

"The only way to survive is to defeat this guy in front of us."

It's sizzling!

A flash of lightning appeared, the ground beneath the Fourth Raikage exploded, and his figure shot forward: "Taking care of him now is the best option."

The Fourth Kazekage shouted, "Hey, that's way too impulsive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fourth Raikage was entangled in white hair.

Upon seeing this, the Third Raikage immediately shouted, "Everyone, let's attack together!"

Many of the resurrected Kage nodded and then charged out together, with only Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju remaining steadfast in their actions.

Tobirama Senju frowned: "These guys don't trust Shuichi at all, and they're acting rashly without knowing the situation."

"But this is for the best; let them test the enemy."

This is also why he failed to control these people.

But it was clear that all of their attacks either failed or were blocked, as they were all bound by the long white hair.

Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha's body continued to expand. Eventually, Madara's expanded body, except for his white hair, was completely covered by black matter, and then his originally expanded body rapidly shrank.

As his body shrank, Madara Uchiha became a different person, his skin quickly losing its black color and returning to the white color characteristic of the Otsutsuki clan.

On this person's forehead, the skin split open, and the blood-red nine-tomoe Sharingan opened.

Seeing this, Hoshino Shuichi felt a sense of relief, as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, you've finally appeared!

Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra, reports for duty! (End of Chapter)
