Chapter 376: Could You Use the Rinne Rebirth Technique Once More? Thank You
The earth was torn asunder, with countless chunks of dirt and rock surging towards Uchiha Obito.
Obito, powerless to resist, could only watch as layer upon layer of rock encased him.
Finally, a massive sphere formed, ascending into space to accompany the original moon.
It was over.
Obito, along with the Kaguya Ōtsutsuki of this world, had been completely sealed away.
The Sage of Six Paths, having fulfilled his promise, turned to Hagoromo Gengetsu.
Hagoromo nodded slightly.
The sincerity was received, and their cooperation was sealed.
Next, they both turned their gaze to the other Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who had arrived with them and was still embroiled in internal strife. Without hesitation, they engaged in battle once more.
As expected, the Kaguya from Hagoromo's world was subdued, and the Ten-Tails was extracted, handed over to the Kaguya from the previous world.
Hagoromo Gengetsu didn't use the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei to seal the Kaguya from his own world.
No one could guarantee that if they crossed space-time again, the Kaguya sealed in a different world wouldn't be transported along.
The Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei in Hagoromo Gengetsu's hands had to be kept in reserve.
And since the Sage of Six Paths had just used it once, it would take a long time to cool down and couldn't be used again in the short term.
In the end, the Kaguya from Hagoromo's world was handed over to the other Kaguya, who had become stronger after absorbing the Ten-Tails, and who took control of her body.
Now, no one could stop Hagoromo Gengetsu and his allies, who were now all on the same side.
"I'll go ahead and release the Infinite Tsukuyomi," said the Sage of Six Paths, relieved, as he looked at the world below, still immersed in the illusion.
"Most people won't appreciate it," Hagoromo Gengetsu said with a smile.
He could fully imagine what the world would be like after the Infinite Tsukuyomi was lifted.
It would be like an addict suddenly cut off from their source—only one thing would follow.
Hysteria.
However, this world did indeed need a great upheaval.
Since Uchiha Obito was already sealed, they might as well push this world further along.
Hagoromo Gengetsu didn't stop the Sage of Six Paths.
The method to release the Infinite Tsukuyomi wasn't complicated.
As long as a person with the Rinnegan and a person with the chakra of all the tailed beasts worked together, or if one person possessed both conditions, they could form the "Rat" hand sign to release both the Infinite Tsukuyomi and the Divine Genesis: World of Trees.
The Sage of Six Paths had the Rinnegan, and the Ten-Tails was with the Kaguya from his world.
The latter knew that even if she took over the Infinite Tsukuyomi here, she would still struggle against Hagoromo Gengetsu and the Sage of Six Paths, so she cooperated.
Soon, with the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki forming the "Rat" hand sign together, the Infinite Tsukuyomi and Divine Genesis: World of Trees that had enveloped the entire world were smoothly undone.
The roots of the Divine Tree, which had spread across the entire planet, retracted back into the earth.
The bindings encasing each person loosened, revealing individuals whose Rinnegan had already faded.
"What happened to me?"
At that moment, the vast majority of people on the planet looked around in confusion.
By the time they finally understood what had happened...
On the Fourth Great Ninja War battlefield, the ninja alliance, who had resisted all this time, wept tears of joy.
Although they didn't know what had transpired, with the Infinite Tsukuyomi released, it was clear that the greatest villain in the ninja world, Uchiha Obito, had met with misfortune.
This was undoubtedly good news for them.
At the same time, most people on the planet were crying just as hard.
But their tears weren't of joy—they were of grief.
"Where's the Divine Tree? Where did my enormous Divine Tree go?"
"This has never happened before. Could something have gone wrong? No! My entire life was there!"
"I just got approved for a spot! Please, let me go back! My lover, my children, my legacy are all waiting for me!"
"Give me back my world!"
"Kill me! This is the fake world—I want to return to the real one! Let me go back!"
As Hagoromo Gengetsu had said, most people were unwilling to accept this reality once the Infinite Tsukuyomi was lifted.
Pain, wailing, madness, self-harm, even taking their own lives—they couldn't bear to live in what they now considered a filthy, fake world.
For a time, the entire world was in chaos.
Hagoromo Gengetsu and the others paid no attention to this.
Life would find its way to continue.
Especially for humans.
At this moment, Hagoromo Gengetsu, the Sage of Six Paths, and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had already arrived at the Dragon Vein of this world, seriously discussing how to return to their respective worlds.
The Sage of Six Paths explained that the Dragon Vein had changed. The method of killing the original activator to return to their original world was no longer feasible, and they would need to find another way.
But the Dragon Vein wasn't easy to control, especially when it came to space-time travel.
As beings at the top of the planet, and even the entire universe, Hagoromo Gengetsu, the Sage of Six Paths, and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had to spend more time researching the Dragon Vein.
During this time, Hagoromo Gengetsu took the opportunity to complete the remaining system tasks.
[Main Quest: Find Sasuke (Completed)]
[After killing Orochimaru and Kabuto, the Seventh Team continued searching for Sasuke. They eventually reunited at one of Orochimaru's lairs, where Sasuke and Naruto met again. Sasuke tried to leave after acting cool, but the host single-handedly subdued him and brought him back to Konoha.]
[Reward: One-tenth of the Ōtsutsuki clan's bloodline.]
"Sasuke!!"
Tears filled Sakura's eyes as she rushed towards Sasuke.
Sasuke was just about to turn his head when suddenly a sharp pain struck his forehead, and everything went black as he collapsed.
"Sasuke!!!"
Tears streamed down from Sakura's eyes in torrents.
[Main Quest: Battle of the Immortal Duo (Completed)]
[The host defeated Kakuzu and Hidan of the Akatsuki with astonishing power, saving Sarutobi Asuma. Reward upgrade in progress.]
[Reward: One-tenth of the Ōtsutsuki clan's bloodline.]
"Huh? Didn't I die?"
Sarutobi Asuma, Kakuzu, and Hidan, who had reassembled his body, all looked at their intact forms in confusion.
Before they could say anything further, Kakuzu and Hidan's bodies suddenly shattered into pieces and died once more.
Sarutobi Asuma, the only one left alive, stared blankly at it all.
[Main Quest: Pain's Assault (Completed)]
[In Konoha's time of crisis, the host stepped forward and defeated the various Pain bodies. Along with Naruto, the host found Nagato's true body. In the end, moved by Naruto's Talk no Jutsu, Nagato sincerely repented and used the Rinne Rebirth Technique to revive those who had died in Konoha.]
[Reward: One-tenth of the Ōtsutsuki clan's bloodline.]
"Reanimation? No, I've been revived?"
Nagato, emaciated and frail, stared blankly at his hands for a long time.
Until a voice sounded behind him, transmitting the power of the Six Paths into his body, temporarily transforming his eyes into the Rinnegan.
"Could you use the Rinne Rebirth Technique once more? Thank you."
