Chapter 215: Side Story Uchiha Sasuke End

"Pervy Sage!" cried Naruto as he hugged his beloved sensei tightly.

"Na... Naruto?" Jiraiya asked, stunned to see him standing there.

Minato, Orochimaru, and Tsunade smiled warmly, overjoyed at the reunion. Setsuna, however, noticed a strange glance from Orochimaru. Even the other Kage looked on in awe.

Naruto quickly explained everything to Jiraiya—how many years had passed, the changes in the world, and how he had returned.

Jiraiya's eyes eventually landed on Setsuna. "Thank you," he said sincerely. "But… am I dreaming? My body feels young again."

"You're not dreaming," Setsuna replied with a slight smile. "You and Tsunade have both been rejuvenated. I've heard about your love story, so I thought it was only fair to give both of you this gift."

Hearing this, Tsunade was stunned. She immediately dropped her Transformation Jutsu and gasped upon seeing her youthful reflection—she now looked like she was in her twenties.

"I… I felt different yesterday when all my aches were gone," Tsunade said in disbelief. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Setsuna nodded, then turned to the Mizukage. "Your former Mizukage received the same treatment."

"What? Really?" the Mizukage asked in surprise.

"Yes," Setsuna confirmed with a nod.

---Madara Return---

"To be honest," Setsuna began, "this body is just a special clone. It will only last for one year, so I won't be here for long. That's why I've decided to bring back some of the strongest fighters of your time—to help us fight the invading Otsutsuki."

"You mean..." someone began.

"Yes," Setsuna confirmed. "I plan to bring back Senju Hashirama and a few of the greatest shinobi who are still alive in the Astral Dimension."

The room fell into thoughtful silence. After a moment, everyone nodded in agreement. The threat of the Otsutsuki—especially beings like Momoshiki—was too great to ignore. With the knowledge of a new technique called Shinjutsu that being used by Otsutsuki, they needed powerful allies.

Setsuna then summoned Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, and Uchiha Madara. All three appeared in their prime—young, healthy, and full of chakra.

"Who's using our bodies again?" Tobirama asked in frustration. "This is the third time I've been summoned like this."

"Tobirama, I told you not to create dangerous jutsu," Hashirama scolded.

"This isn't Tobirama's doing," Madara commented, looking around.

"Madara? You're here too?" Hashirama said, shocked.

Tobirama frowned. "What are you up to this time, Madara?"

Before they could argue further, Setsuna stepped in.

"Let me explain everything," he said calmly, and began detailing the situation. He explained the threat of the Otsutsuki, the rising danger of the new ten tails, and why their return was necessary.

"In short," Setsuna concluded, "our enemy now is an ancient being likely stronger than Kaguya Otsutsuki. That's why we decided to bring you three back."

"You're strong," Madara observed. He had been quietly analyzing the overwhelming chakra Setsuna emitted.

Setsuna smiled, slightly dumbfounded. "Thank you."

"You Uchiha can bring back the dead now?" Tobirama asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No," Setsuna replied. "I didn't resurrect the dead. You three were still alive—just trapped in the Astral Dimension."

Madara's eyes narrowed. "Can you bring back Izuna?"

"I'm afraid not. Izuna has completely perished. His chakra and body no longer exist," Setsuna said regretfully.

Madara frowned, clearly disappointed.

"So now what?" Setsuna asked. "The future is in danger. The enemy is powerful. What will you do?"

"I'd love to say, 'Let's leave it to the next generation'," Hashirama said, "but if even Naruto can't handle it, then I'll help."

"Same here," Tobirama added.

"It was boring in the Astral Dimension anyway," Madara muttered. "Count me in."

"Setsuna-sama," Gaara spoke up, concern in his voice. "I know about the Senju brothers, but Uchiha Madara is dangerous."

The other Kage looked serious as their eyes turned to Madara.

"Bunch of weaklings," Madara muttered, clearly annoyed.

"Don't worry," Setsuna reassured them. "They all possess the same power now."

"What do you mean by that?" Madara asked suspiciously.

"You three now have both Senju and Uchiha bloodlines," Setsuna explained. "Haven't you noticed?"

At that moment, both Hashirama and Tobirama's eyes suddenly shifted. They had activated the Sharingan.

"I have the Sharingan? This cursed eye?" Tobirama grumbled.

"Don't you dare insult it," Madara snapped.

"Be quiet," Setsuna interrupted firmly, silencing them.

"I know what happened during your time," Setsuna continued. "But this is a new era. The future is in danger, and we have no other choice. I've altered your bodies to make you even stronger—to help defeat the enemies that lie ahead. They possess Shinjutsu… an evolved form of Ninjutsu."

He paused before concluding, "I also plan to bring back a few more individuals from the Uzumaki, Uchiha, and Senju Clans. I hope all of you can work together."

---Before The Clones Vanished---

Setsuna brought back several powerful individuals from the past—Nagato, Konan, Pakura, Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Izumi, Uchiha Kagami, Uzumaki Ashina, Uzumaki Kenshiro, Senju Shin, Uzumaki Mito, and many more who were strong during their respective eras and also important people.

Now, the three great clans—Uzumaki, Senju, and Uchiha—had returned to strength once more.

Setsuna had also bring back some victims of the Uchiha Massacre. Though many of them still felt anger and grief over the tragedy, there was little they could do. The past was the past, and they chose to move forward.

However, one major issue remained unsolved—they still could not pinpoint the location of the Ten Tails. While they could sense the chakra radiating from it, the creature itself remained hidden behind powerful barriers.

Amid the ongoing preparations and tensions, something beautiful happened—Jiraiya finally got his long-awaited wedding with Tsunade. After years of being rejected and even punched by her, she finally accepted him. Their reunion brought joy to many.

Obito also married Nohara Rin. Their bodies had been restored to look like they were in their twenties, and their feelings quickly rekindled. They fell in love and were soon married.

---Final Battle: Code and the Ten Tails---

A few days before Setsuna's clone was set to disappear, Code launched another attack.

However, with powerful shinobi like Hashirama, Madara, and Obito present, the enemy was quickly repelled. Code managed to escape but unknowingly led them straight to the Ten Tails' location—thanks to a tracking seal placed on him earlier by Boruto.

Boruto immediately brought Tobirama to the site. Together, they destroyed Code and subdued the Ten Tails. Tobirama, who now possessed the Rinegan, used techniques similar to those of the Sage of Six Paths to divide the Ten Tails before it could evolve into a new entity known as Jura.

Interestingly, the Ten Tails was a fusion of various organisms—foxes, squids, and more. When chakra merged with these animal, they became known as the tailed beasts.

After splitting this organisms, Tobirama took on the role of an adoptive father to this reformed 9 tailed beast creature who were just splitted from the main body.

---Final Day---

Setsuna smiled as he saw that the threat of Kara had been eliminated. As his final gift to this timeline, he handed over a powerful technique: Sealing Virtual Machine - Version 5—a cutting-edge fuinjutsu method.

He also provided them with a sealing technique that mimicked purifying magic. This special method was capable of cleansing the Yin chakra corruption in the minds of those who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

With all these preparations in place, the world was finally ready to face the potential return of powerful enemies—whether it be Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Isshiki, or other members of the Otsutsuki clan.

A grand farewell party was held in Setsuna honor. Joy and gratitude filled the air.

And then—poof—Setsuna vanished, returning to the alternate past, bringing with him all the knowledge and experiences he had gained from this timeline.
