Chapter 180 - Kaguya Otsutsuki

Obito high in the sky, looks down and yells "I'll finally create the perfect world!" and finally cast the ultimate Genjutsu, the Infinite Tsukuyomi, once cast, from the moon, the penetrating light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi shines across the world, bright enough to dispel the night for as long as it is active.

All those who fall under its gaze are trapped in the genjutsu, with the Rinnegan's design appearing in their eyes to represent its influence, no one was able to escape it no matter if they were out on the street or in their homes, the only ones able to escape this Genjutsu are the Edo Tensei Hokages, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, and Ren.

Then Obito comments "This light can shine even through the shadows... you cannot hide... and...", as he is speaking, Obito makes a hand seal and cast another Jutsu "Shin: Jukai Kōtan (God: Nativity of a World of Trees)!", and he starts to manipulate the roots of the God Tree, spreading them around the entire world to encase those caught within the Infinite Tsukuyomi in the roots' bark.

By ensnaring all living beings and connecting them to the tree, similar to cocoons, this will keep their now-slumbering bodies alive so long as they remain attached, while sapping their chakra, at the same time, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura start discussing.

Sakura asks "What do you think is going on outside now, Sasuke-Kun?" and Sasuke replies "Right now, everybody is trapped in the Genjutsu and is being bound to some roots..." and before Naruto could speak he adds "...And we can't do anything right now, if we go outside we will fall into the Genjutsu too, my Susanoo is the only thing protecting us... A piece of good news is that Ren was able to react just in time and he too is awake".

And Naruto says "Yeah... I don't know what he did but his Chakra level is crazy... It is almost at the same level as Obito... but that monster he is fighting against is even worse... Even in my current state I almost feel powerless against it!", and as Sakura is about to worry even more Sasuke reassures her "Don't worry about him... I still didn't see that guy's limit... Let's instead plan on how to deal with Obito when the Infinite Tsukuyomi ends!", and Sakura asks "When can we get out?" and Sasuke replies "The people fall into the Genjutsu due to the moonlight... that light is slowly diminishing, but we can't go out as long as it shines".

Meanwhile, Ren in his Senbonzakura's blades cocoon is slowly moving toward Sakura's group, at the same time he says "All that planning and in the end, this still happens... And the situation is even worse than the original, not only Kaguya is about to come... but that crazy Arrancar is also out there..." then he hears Senbonzakura's voice 'Don't worry Ren-dono, we can still win... Just remember to release the Gentei Reīn (Soul-Limiting Symbol) before using the Yukai...'.

Hearing that Ren looks at the Chrysanthemum imprint on his chest, then let out a sigh and says "Yeah... to think that my trip to the Pure Land enhanced my Chakra so much that I have to limit 80% of it to not to cause unnecessarily high damage...".

After some time, the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi finally dims, and Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto get out of the Susanoo as Sasuke says "Finally..." and Naruto asks "Sasuke how can we get everyone out of the Genjutsu?" and he replies "A genjutsu cast using a Rinnegan can only be undone by another Rinnegan", and Sakura says "So we need your eye to free them".

But Obito lands in front of them and says "I'm the savior of the world! I won't let you do anything else, I just stopped the fate of this world, I freed people from pain, suffering, emptiness, I turned hell into a haven, you should understand... It's already over..." but right at that moment, Zetsu appears behind Obito from the ground and stabs Obito in the chest with his left hand and says "No... Obito, you're not the savior... And it's not over".

Obito in shock asks "What are you doing Zetsu!? Is this that bastard Madara's will!? Even if things didn't go as planned the end result is the same!!" and Zetsu replies "That's not true...My will isn't Madara... is Kaguya" then from his left hand, black lines start covering Obito's body and as he screams in pain, his body Chakra level starts to change.

Feeling the change with his senses Naruto asks "What's going on!? His Chakra is unbelievable!!", and Sasuke notices another thing and says "All his shadow just vanished! Something's about to happen!", and almost immediately after he said this, large amounts of Chakra begin bursting out of the ground and converging on Obito blowing away Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke.

Sakura then asks "Where does... All this Chakra come from? It's so dense..." but just as Sasuke is about to reply, Ren lands in front of them and says "It comes from all the people controlled by the Infinite Tsukuyomi!", and as Obito's body starts inflating Naruto who keeps focusing on him says "This is bad!! It's even more Chakra than the Juubi!!".

Sasuke then readying a Chidori says "Let's stop him before he moves! Go, Naruto!", at the same time, Naruto prepares to attack and says "So we have to stop him while he's inflated!!" but before they could move, Ren slaps both on their head and says "Attacking him now is useless all that Chakra will keep him alive and safe no matter what you do...".

But Naruto yells "If we don't stop him everyone else will die", But then Zetsutells him that Kaguya had once used the technique, but didn't kill anyone, instead, she used it to create soldiers, revealing that humans who were caught under the genjutsu previously eventually became the White Zetsu Army, through a slow process over time, then Ren says "The only thing we can do now is to wait and prepare for the real enemy to come...".

Hearing what her brother said, Sakura asks "Real enemy...?" and Ren simply says "Kaguya Otsutsuki...", hearing that name Sasuke flinch, while Naruto says "Kaguya!? The name is familiar..." then Sasuke reminds him of what the Hagoromo told them before, meanwhile, Obito's body keeps expanding, and Black Zetsu transfers itself into Obito, leaving behind a White Zetsu's body.

In the next moment, Obito's body, which became a huge black mass that seems about to explode, quickly shrunk down, and in his place there is a pale-skinned woman with delicate facial features, extremely long, sweeping white hair, white clear eyes and her eyebrows were cut very short and round.

Her most noticeable aspects are two brown horns that stuck out from her head and a third eye formed in the center of her forehead, a Rinne Sharingan, she wears a high-collared hime-kimono which has tomoe running down the center and edges of the gown, adorned with intricate gold and purple lines, she is Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Soon Kaguya activates her Byakugan and looking at the group she says "Those two must be Hagoromo and Hamura's... No... Indra and Ashura?... So it's Hagoromo who gave you those Techniques... And there is also a Shinigami? No something is different...He isn't using Reiryoku, but Chakra?...".

Then just as she was talking, a Garganta open near them, and from it Shinigami come out, making Kaguya's eyes open wide as she says "You...!!!", and Shinigami raised his menacing scythe "Long time no see Kaguya... Surprised to see me? Well, are you ready for round 2!?".

Kaguya then floating from the ground says "This place... This ground is my nursery, I cannot let you damage it anymore... Let's stop fighting...Here" then spreading her arm wide open she instantaneously shift them all into another dimension filled with lava without anyone noticing.
