Chapter 88: A Space Beyond Reality

The Senju Secret Compound: A Looming Crisis

The underground chamber shuddered under the immense pressure of six Tailed Beasts, their chakra pulsating like the heartbeat of a slumbering giant. The seals, once strong and unbreakable, now flickered erratically, struggling to contain the raw power surging within.

Tsunade clenched her fists, her golden eyes narrowing at the fluctuating formations. "This isn't working. The chakra flow from six different Beasts is overlapping and disrupting the stability of the seal."

Orochimaru leaned against the stone wall, watching the flickering symbols with mild amusement. "Well, it was bound to happen. You can only cram so much into one place before it collapses."

Hiruzen exhaled slowly, his pipe resting forgotten in his hand. His gaze was heavy with the weight of their situation. "If the seals break, the backlash will be catastrophic. We have two days at most before the containment fails completely."

Tsunade paced, frustration evident in every movement. "We need another location. A stronger containment method—something that won't be affected by the sheer magnitude of their chakra."

Orochimaru sighed dramatically, stretching his arms. "If only we had a separate space—an isolated dimension, perhaps—where we could store them without interference."

The words were spoken half in jest, but the moment they left his lips, Ryusei froze.

A sharp pulse ran through him, as if something deep within his subconscious had suddenly been unlocked. His eyes widened slightly, his breath caught in his throat.

A separate space…

His mind reeled as memories surged forth—memories from the moment he had awakened his Six Magatama Rinne Sharingan.

The Memory of Awakening

That moment had been unlike anything else. When his eyes had first opened to their full potential, a surge of divine power had flooded his body, connecting him to something greater than the physical world.

In that instant, he had felt it—a vast, untouched realm, forming within him like an unshaped cosmos.

A central space beyond reality.

It had been incomplete, a mere fragment of what could be. But now… now he understood what it truly was.

And more importantly—how to finish it.

A Revelation in the Chamber

As the others continued discussing containment methods, Ryusei slowly exhaled, his heartbeat steadying.

Then, he spoke.

"We don't need another location."

The room fell silent. All eyes turned to him.

Orochimaru raised an intrigued brow. "Oh?"

Ryusei met Hiruzen's gaze directly. "I'll create one."

Tsunade blinked. "What?"

Hiruzen's eyes narrowed. "Explain."

Ryusei stepped forward, his expression unwavering. "When I awakened my Rinne Sharingan, I became aware of a space—something that exists within me, yet beyond this world." His voice was calm, yet carried the weight of certainty. "Back then, it was incomplete. But now, with my mastery over chakra nature transformations and my second divine ability—Genesis—I can finish what I started."

A tense silence stretched between them.

Tsunade folded her arms. "And you're just realizing this now?"

Ryusei exhaled. "I didn't fully understand it before. But with what Orochimaru said, it all connected."

Orochimaru smirked. "Ah, so I was the inspiration for a divine revelation. How flattering."

Tsunade rolled her eyes. "Shut up, Orochimaru."

Hiruzen studied Ryusei carefully. "If you can truly manifest this realm, it would change everything. But are you certain you can complete it in time?"

Ryusei's eyes gleamed with determination. "I have to."

The Creation of the Central Space

Ryusei moved to the center of the chamber, taking a deep breath. The seals flickered violently behind him, warning that time was running out.

He closed his eyes.

And turned inward.

Within his consciousness, the fragmented space still lingered—an incomplete void, swirling with raw potential. It was vast yet unstable, like a shattered mirror waiting to be pieced back together.

Genesis.

His divine ability surged to life, flowing through him like an eternal river. Genesis was the power of creation itself—the ability to manifest something from nothing, to refine imperfection into completion.

This was where it would all begin.

Shaping a New World

Earth Release.

Ryusei extended his will, and the void beneath him rumbled. From the darkness, massive landmasses began to emerge—mountains, valleys, plateaus—all taking form as if sculpted by invisible hands. The once-empty abyss now had substance, a solid foundation upon which his world would stand.

Water Release.

The air trembled as vast lakes and rivers surged forth, weaving between the land like veins of life. Oceans formed at the edges of the dimension, their depths stretching endlessly, their waters pure and untouched.

Fire Release & Earth Release.

Deep within the core of the new world, molten fire surged, binding the land together, creating warmth, stability, and balance. A pulsing heart of flame and stone—ensuring the world's strength.

Lightning Release & Water Release.

The skies darkened as clouds gathered, flickering with electricity. Thunder rumbled, weaving through the heavens as the first storms were born. Rain began to fall, merging the elements in perfect harmony.

Wind Release.

A gentle breeze swept across the newly formed world. The stagnant void now had movement—air currents flowing, filling the space with life.

Rinnegan's Gravity Manipulation.

Ryusei concentrated, stabilizing the floating masses, binding them together with precise gravitational forces. No longer chaotic, the land and sky found their balance, orbiting in synchronized perfection.

Yin-Yang Release.

The final touch. Ryusei infused the space with Yin-Yang energy, forging an unbreakable connection between every element. Fire relied on earth, earth shaped the water, water sustained the air, air carried the storms—everything depended on one another. A perfect cycle, an unshakable foundation.

It was flawless.

And to ensure it, he activated Genesis, refining every last imperfection, eliminating any weakness.

The world was complete.

The Return to Reality

In the physical world, the underground chamber pulsed violently as Ryusei's chakra overflowed. The ground cracked beneath him, the air distorted, and then—

A sudden pull.

The oppressive chakra of the Tailed Beasts, which had once overwhelmed the chamber, vanished.

Ryusei opened his eyes, exhaling deeply. The atmosphere felt… different.

Tsunade looked around. "What just happened?"

Ryusei turned to them, a faint smile on his lips.

"It's done."

Orochimaru's smirk widened. "You actually did it."

Hiruzen's expression remained unreadable, but there was something almost approving in his gaze. "You've created a space beyond this world."

Ryusei nodded. "A dimension only I control." His voice was calm, yet the sheer magnitude of what he had accomplished hung in the air like a whispered secret.

Tsunade exhaled in relief. "Then… we don't have to worry about the seal breaking anymore."

"No," Ryusei confirmed. "From now on, the Tailed Beasts are beyond anyone's reach."

Hiruzen gave a slow nod. "Then we move forward."

Orochimaru chuckled. "The world has no idea what's coming."

As the chamber settled into silence, the weight of their next step loomed over them.

They had crossed a threshold no one else had dared to.

And now, there was no turning back.

End of Chapter 88.
