"Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
High above the sky, Gensou gazed at the blood-red full moon that nearly filled his entire field of vision. His hands formed seals, and he uttered the words with deliberate clarity.
In an instant!
Atop the Divine Tree, the Rinne Sharingan focused on the moon, projecting its own eye power onto it.
The surface of the blood-red moon immediately displayed the distinct patterns of the Rinne Sharingan.
Nine black tomoe appeared for the first time, arranged in three concentric circles.
At that moment—
Naruto, who had just steadied himself;
Sasuke, still lying motionless on the ground;
The scattered remnants of the crumbling Allied Shinobi Forces;
The surviving Kage, including Tsunade, Onoki, Mei, and A;
The pursuing warriors of the Hagoromo Clan;
And even every living being on this planet—
As they looked up into the night sky, they all noticed that the moon was no longer the same.
For the first time in history, it bore the mark of the Rinne Sharingan.
"So… it's finally begun?"
Lying on the ground, Sasuke gazed at the changed moon, letting out a faint sigh of relief. He had delayed Naruto with his words just long enough.
"So it has finally come… the Great Toad Sage's prophecy!"
Far from the battlefield, in a concealed location, Tsunade, Onoki, Mei, A, and the remaining Kage looked up at the moon, their faces clouded with anxiety as they recalled the prophesied calamity.
"W-what is that?"
"Why does the moon look so different?"
"This feels ominous! Run! Find somewhere to hide!"
The already panicked remnants of the Allied Shinobi Forces became even more terrified upon seeing the unfamiliar transformation of the moon. Their instincts screamed that this was no ordinary natural phenomenon—it had to be the work of a jutsu beyond comprehension.
And they were right.
But what they didn't know—
Was that no matter where they ran, it would all be in vain.
"Looks like our clan head has succeeded!"
Seeing the changes in the moon, the warriors of the Hagoromo Clan halted their pursuit of the already doomed shinobi forces.
Laughter broke out among them.
They all knew—
Their clan was about to ascend to the peak of the shinobi world.
"Looks like we bet on the right side after all."
On another side, members of the Akatsuki, including Kakuzu and Sasori, let out sighs of relief.
Before the war started, they had worried about their small numbers.
But now, their new leader had more than proven his strength!
"Guy…"
Kakashi stood still, his gaze fixed on the moon, its Rinne Sharingan patterns reflecting in his lone eye.
He thought about the fallen Might Guy and sighed deeply.
"So… we failed?"
At this moment, many had already lost all hope.
But—
There was always one person who never gave up.
Naruto rushed back, using all his strength in one last desperate attempt to stop Gensou.
He soared into the sky.
But—
At this speed, it was already too late!
"Gensou!! Stop this!" Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs as he flew. "Infinite Tsukuyomi will only bring disaster! Your plan won't work! Everything you're doing is—"
With a face full of urgency, Naruto tried to explain the truth told to him by the Sage of Six Paths, hoping to make Gensou come to his senses.
But—
Gensou didn't even turn his head.
His gaze remained fixed on the moon, now fully transformed into the Rinne Sharingan.
His expression was filled with anticipation.
"Now… let the entire planet become one!"
As his words fell—
Infinite Tsukuyomi was unleashed.
Light!
Endless light!
Naruto, still soaring, was about to say more—
But then—
The Rinne Sharingan on the blood moon suddenly erupted with an unimaginably intense brilliance.
Naruto instinctively shut his eyes.
He couldn't see what happened next.
But—
The blinding light swept past him at incredible speed, engulfing the entire planet.
Though it was night, the world was illuminated as if bathed in broad daylight.
The light of Infinite Tsukuyomi penetrated all obstructions.
No matter where one hid—
As long as they were on this planet, the light would reach them.
There was no escape.
Every living being, including animals like cats and dogs, had their eyes turn into the Rinne Sharingan.
Their bodies froze.
Their consciousness faded.
And they all fell into the eternal dream of Infinite Tsukuyomi.
From this moment on—
Everyone began to experience their deepest desires.
The perfect dream they had always longed for.
"As expected… Infinite Tsukuyomi's light can penetrate all… there is no place to hide."
High above, Gensou watched as the world fell into silence.
Apart from himself—
The only other conscious living being was Naruto, who was staring in shock, his face filled with confusion and disbelief.
Gensou then turned his gaze downward.
Aside from the reanimated undead—
Every living being, even animals, had become motionless.
"Now then…"
Gensou clapped his hands together.
"Divine: Birth of the God Tree World!"
The entire planet trembled.
From the Divine Tree, countless massive roots surged from the ground.
Vines extended in all directions, wrapping around everyone except the warriors of the Hagoromo Clan.
They were lifted into the air, bound to the branches of the Divine Tree.
One by one, every individual across the world was suspended from the colossal tree.
Their chakra began to drain—
Flowing through the Divine Tree—
And continuously transferring into Gensou's body.
"What a sight to behold!"
As an Edo Tensei reanimation, Hagoromo Mu and the others were immune to Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Watching the spectacle unfold, they were both shocked and ecstatic.
Never had they imagined that such a world-altering jutsu existed.
Meanwhile, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other reanimated shinobi felt nothing but dread.
Sarutobi watched as Kakashi was fully encased in the vines.
He rushed forward, tearing the vines apart and pulling Kakashi free.
But—
It was useless.
Kakashi's eyes remained locked in the Rinne Sharingan pattern.
He stood motionless.
Above them—
More vines descended from the Divine Tree, wrapping around Kakashi once again.
No matter how many times Sarutobi and the others tried—
The end result was always the same.
Kakashi was inevitably bound again.
Seeing this, Sarutobi's face darkened.
He stopped struggling.
"What now?" someone asked.
No one answered.
Even those who had once been mighty in life—
Knew that this was beyond anything they had ever faced.
What could ants do against the will of gods?
All they could do—
Was wait.
And see how it all ended.
