I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 419 I am the Divine Tree!

This moment.

A vivid, blood-red hue, accompanied by moonlight, fell upon the earth, enveloping the entire Naruto world.

Well... to be precise, it's half the Earth, because the other half is currently in daylight and the moonlight doesn't reach it.

Even so, it was enough to encompass the entire ninja world, including the Five Great Nations, as well as smaller nations like Amegakure, Tsuki, and Oni. One by one, the native inhabitants of the ninja world stopped in their tracks—from barbecue restaurants and izakayas to their bedrooms and even on mountain paths at night—and looked up at the night sky in astonishment at the strange phenomenon unfolding there.

"W-What happened?"

"That's... the moon? The moon is turning red?"

"This feeling... could it be that someone is using ninjutsu?!"

Some of the more perceptive ninjas were the first to sense something amiss—

The instant they were bathed in the red moonlight, each of them felt a sudden tightness in their bodies, as if connected by an invisible thread to the moon high in the sky. Under this connection, their bodies and consciousness seemed to cease to be their own, swaying and drifting as if about to merge with the soft moonlight.

This is an illusion!

Moreover, it is an extremely sophisticated illusion technique, so sophisticated that it is beyond the comprehension of most ninjas!

Even the Kage of the Five Villages, and powerful figures like Jiraiya, couldn't fathom the principle behind this illusion. They could only make tentative connections based on that familiar red hue—

"Red...the same color as during the Nine-Tails' rampage, could it be the work of the Uchiha clan?"

"No ordinary Sharingan could do this, but... if it's that woman, then it's not surprising. I haven't seen her much lately, so maybe she's plotting something big."

This is a conversation that took place in Konoha.

"...It's Konoha, it must be Konoha's doing! Ever since their Fourth Hokage returned, these strange things have been happening one after another. This is probably a conspiracy against our four countries!"

"We must unite and make Konoha explain these things clearly!"

This is a dialogue that takes place in the three kingdoms of Wind, Earth, and Thunder.

It is worth mentioning that at this moment, the Tsuchikage and Raikage had already left their respective ninja villages and arrived at a place not far from the Land of Fire, where they held a meeting between the two Kage before the Five Kage Summit, and thus witnessed this amazing celestial phenomenon together.

At this moment.

Inside the Uchiha clan's compound in Konoha, Madara, Shisui, and Fugaku huddled together, nodded to each other, and then each activated their Susanoo, gazing up at the moon.

"Is this your great-grandmother?"

Zhi Shui spoke softly.

Fugaku nodded: "Yes, that should be it. Apart from my great-grandmother, I can't imagine anyone else in this world who could use such a pupil technique, not even... Lord Madara."

"snort."

Madara, whose name was mentioned, snorted coldly, but couldn't find a rebuttal, so he could only change the subject: "This technique should be that stone tablet... no, it's the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' that Black Zetsu mentioned. What is that woman trying to do by suddenly using this technique? Is she trying to summon the legendary Ten-Tails?"

……

"……I see."

At the same time.

Standing atop the tower in Amegakure, Uchiha Hikaru's eyes were slightly vacant, as if he understood everything.

If someone were to look into her pupils at this moment, they would see countless streams of image information flashing by in a very short time before disappearing quietly.

—That was the biological information from tens of millions of humans and other creatures throughout the entire ninja world, all converging on Uchiha Hikaru via the red moon high in the sky in the form of an information flow.

At this moment, with just a thought, she could extract all the chakra from these creatures and absorb it into her own body, just like Madara and Kaguya did to the ninja world through the Divine Tree in the original story.

Yes, that's right.

Uchiha Hikaru now understood the essence of the eye technique "Eight Thousand Spears" contained within her Mangekyou Sharingan.

This eye technique is essentially the power of the Divine Tree. After Kaguya ate the Chakra Fruit, it entered her bloodline genes and was passed down through the lineage of the Sage of Six Paths. It was buried deep within the Uchiha clan as a hidden gene until it was inherited and awakened by her, a special individual, forming the unique eye technique in Uchiha history, "Eight Thousand Spears".

under these circumstances.

She herself is like a newly reborn divine tree. There is no need to borrow the power of the demonic statue to revive the original divine tree.

but……

Uchiha Hikaru had no intention of absorbing these people's chakra.

After all, unless she absorbs the entire Naruto Earth into a dead star, and even depletes the natural energy of the three great immortal lands and the depths of the earth's veins, no matter how much she absorbs, it will never be possible to surpass her "Super Saiyan Mode".

If it were simply like Madara in the original storyline, absorbing chakra from the ninja world, then she wouldn't even be as strong as in her normal state. Therefore, there's no point in doing something so harmful and pointless just to satisfy one's curiosity.

present.

Uchiha Hikaru closed his eyes slightly and focused his attention on the moon.

At this moment, she could clearly feel the tremor within that planet, as if a force connected to her bloodline was calling to her, wanting to pull her to the moon and merge her with it...

"Um?"

Almost instantly, Uchiha Hikari shook off that feeling, and then felt a strange will descending with the moonlight, as if trying to invade her body. However, the invasion only reached the surface of her body before encountering immense resistance, only bringing her a strong sense of foreignness.

"Ha, are they mistaking me for Madara Uchiha? Trying to use my body to achieve resurrection?"

Uchiha Hikaru chuckled, then raised a hand and reached for the blood-red moonlight above his head.

That's right, it's "Moonlight".

At that moment, the originally empty moonlight suddenly became distorted, writhing restlessly in Uchiha Hikaru's palm, trying to break free, but all its efforts were in vain.

With a forceful tug from Uchiha Hikaru!

First, a pale arm was torn from the void, followed by the rest of the body—

White clothes, white hair, white skin, white eyes.

In addition, there are a pair of horns on its head.

All of this clearly reveals her identity: the goddess Kaguya, the Ōtsutsuki, who was sealed away a thousand years ago!

"Who are you……"

Kaguya opened her eyes wide in astonishment, as if she had not yet recovered from her sudden revival.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Hikaru continued to hold her arm, took a step, and the next second appeared near the Land of Fire, in the courtyard where Onoki and Raikage A were staying. He threw Kaguya into the courtyard and then disappeared again.

Onoki and Ai: "?"
