Moon—
A murderous glint flashed across Toneri's eyes as he observed the ninja world.
During this time, he had seen the people on Earth endure crisis after crisis, and his belief that such a world should be destroyed only grew stronger.
Coupled with the observations of his predecessors...
Humans on Earth were always fighting.
It seemed…
This world no longer had any meaning.
They were bound to perish in war anyway, so he might as well grant them a quick death.
With that thought, Toneri activated the Giant Tenseigan, gathering an enormous amount of chakra to wipe out the entire planet in a single strike.
Far away on the ground, Black Zetsu suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.
He instinctively looked up at the moon and noticed strange flashes of green light flickering across its surface.
"Something's wrong!"
"Something is very wrong!!"
As a thousand-year-old schemer who had lurked in the shadows of the ninja world, Black Zetsu immediately sensed that something beyond his control was happening on the moon.
"We need to send Obito up there to investigate!"
Muttering to himself, he sank into the earth to find Obito.
The world had already been suffering from endless disasters.
If the moon had started acting up before, he might not have paid much attention.
But now…
He had to stay vigilant!
And more importantly—
He vaguely remembered that Hamura had once led a group of people to the moon...
Damn it!
This was serious!
Although he wasn't sure why the moon was glowing green, he was certain—this was definitely bad news for him.
---
Before long, Black Zetsu found Obito.
"Obito! Something big is happening on the moon!"
"If we don't resolve this soon..."
"Madara-sama's Eye of the Moon Plan might never come to fruition."
Obito: ...
Hearing this, Obito nearly cursed out loud.
Rough!!
Why was there always something going wrong?!
And why did it always have to mess with his Moon's Eye Plan?!
But then he thought of Rin, waiting for him in the new world. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his irritation.
"The moon, huh… What's going on up there?"
If something happened to the moon, it would be a major problem.
After all, he needed it to reflect Infinite Tsukuyomi.
If it suddenly disappeared...
He'd have to figure out how to replace it.
Black Zetsu hesitated for a moment before saying something that made Obito's fists clench.
"...No idea."
"All I know is that the moon is glowing green today, which is really suspicious."
"Just go up and check it out."
Obito resisted the urge to throttle him.
Instead, he stepped out of the cave and looked up at the sky.
And when he saw the green moon—
He froze.
"Damn it!!"
"What the hell are you doing up there now?!!"
He didn't understand what was happening, but he knew this was bad.
If this wasn't handled properly, his Moon's Eye Plan could be ruined at its very foundation.
"Enough talking! Let's go!"
Black Zetsu, knowing a secret passage to the moon, immediately led the way.
---
Two hours later, Obito stepped onto the moon, taking in his surroundings.
Then, he frowned.
"This... What the hell is going on?!"
His gaze shifted to Black Zetsu.
"Black Zetsu, is there something you're not telling me?!"
Obito was now deeply suspicious.
He had never heard of anything living on the moon.
Meanwhile, Black Zetsu, hiding nearby, was frantically brainstorming excuses.
He had no idea how to explain what was happening up here.
If Obito found out the truth, he would definitely start asking questions.
And if that happened…
The lie about Uchiha Madara's will would unravel instantly.
Luckily, at that moment, a large group of puppets appeared, abruptly interrupting the conversation and saving Black Zetsu from his predicament.
The puppets charged at Obito, weapons in hand.
And more just kept coming, emerging from the surrounding buildings and converging on his position.
"Fire Style: Explosive Wind Dance!"
Obito dodged swiftly, flipping through the air before unleashing a stream of flames.
The intense fire warped the space around them, instantly rendering many of the puppets useless.
Click—
Suddenly, a boy with white eyes appeared before him.
His gaze was cold, as if Obito was nothing more than an insignificant weed growing by the roadside.
Sheren wasn't surprised in the slightest by the masked man's arrival.
After all, destroying the world was never going to be easy.
"Give up."
"Your efforts are meaningless."
"In one hour, your planet will be reduced to dust."
"Your world... is doomed."
Obito's face twitched.
Rough!!
He knew something like this would happen!!
Why was someone else always trying to steal his job?!
Why?!
A vein throbbed on his forehead as he finally found his voice.
"This world… will not be destroyed!"
And in the next instant—
He vanished, reappearing right in front of Sheren.
Sheren sighed, stepping forward to meet him, and the two immediately clashed in a fierce battle on the moon...

Mount Myoboku—
Jiraiya sat with a pen and paper in hand, his expression dazed.
Every now and then, an obscene chuckle escaped his lips.
He couldn't stop grinning as he thought about how Tsunade had finally accepted his flowers.
"Hehehe…."
"Naruto, do you think I'm halfway to success?"
Uzumaki Naruto: ...
Naruto stared at him with a deadpan expression.
He really admired this guy.
Ever since Jiraiya had returned from Konoha, he had been completely out of it.
And now he had the nerve to ask him this?
Halfway to success?
Pfft!
Naruto felt like this man was destined to be single forever.
"Oh! Don't talk to me. I don't want to deal with your nonsense right now."
Naruto had already helped Jiraiya by getting Tsunade to accept his assistance.
Everything was ready.
All Jiraiya had to do was confess!
But no—at the critical moment, Old Deng chickened out.
If he had just acted like he was visiting a brothel, he wouldn't have been so nervous!
"Go! Go! Go! Shoo!"
"How can a brat like you understand adult relationships?!"
Jiraiya waved him off dismissively.
Naruto scoffed.
"Yeah, yeah, sure."
"Your world is so complicated."
Smirking, Naruto sat beside Hinata, casually wrapping an arm around her waist.
He then began making exaggerated affectionate gestures—just to provoke Jiraiya.
His expression practically screamed:
"Yeah, I don't understand 'adult relationships'... but at least I'm not single like you, Old Man."
Jiraiya's face twisted into an expression of pure agony.
At that moment, he felt like he had swallowed a mouthful of dog sh—
No.
This was worse than eating dog shit.
Damn brat!!
Who the hell brings their girlfriend along for spiritual training?!
Damn it!
Feeling utterly defeated, Jiraiya huffed and stood up to leave.
If he stayed here any longer...
He might not need to eat for the next week—he'd be stuffed just from the dog food these two were feeding him.
---
Hinata suddenly pointed at the sky.
"Naruto-kun... The moon is so beautiful tonight!"
The dark green moon shone eerily in the sky.
Naruto followed her gaze and sighed.
He thought of Toneri.
"Sigh… There's no such thing as true peace in this world."
"Someone is always carrying the burden for us in the shadows."
Then, he silently added—
"If you work hard enough, maybe I'll give your sister-in-law a pair of Rinnegan in a few years."
