Chapter 16:The War of God's Begins
The Arrival of Kaguyael
The sky split open.
A pillar of light descended from the heavens, crashing into the heart of Konoha. The air burned with divine energy as an ethereal figure emerged, his very presence warping reality itself.
Kaguyael Ōtsutsuki had arrived.
Villagers fell to their knees, their bodies trembling at the sheer pressure emanating from him. The ground beneath his feet cracked and crumbled, unable to withstand his overwhelming power.
His celestial robes fluttered without wind. His golden and silver eyes pulsed with prescience, gazing at everything yet focusing on only one thing.
Gojo Satoru.
"You are the anomaly," Kaguyael said, his voice a perfect harmony of countless tones. "Your power is unnatural, beyond this world's design. I will take it."
Gojo exhaled, adjusting his blindfold. His usual cocky smirk stretched across his face.
"Oh? You've got the whole 'godly invader' thing going on. What's next? A monologue about fate?"
Kaguyael didn't answer. He moved.
Faster than sound.
Gojo barely had a second to react before a golden spear of light materialized in Kaguyael's hand and was thrust forward—aimed directly at his heart.
BOOM!
The impact shattered the surrounding buildings, sending a shockwave that obliterated everything within a hundred-meter radius.
But Gojo was gone.
High above, floating in midair, he smirked.
"Damn. You're fast."
Kaguyael's eyes narrowed. "You cannot avoid what I have already foreseen."
And then—he vanished.
A Battle Beyond Mortals
CRACK!
In an instant, Kaguyael appeared behind Gojo, his hand glowing with celestial energy.
Gojo barely had time to twist before he was hit.
A single strike sent him rocketing through the village, crashing through buildings and tearing through the ground like a meteor.
The entire Hokage Monument cracked from the force of impact.
Before Gojo could recover, Kaguyael was already there.
A wave of golden light exploded from his palm, crashing down like an executioner's blade.
Gojo's Limitless twisted the fabric of space, stopping the attack just inches from his face.
Kaguyael tilted his head. "Interesting."
Gojo, panting slightly, rolled his shoulders. "That actually hurt. Guess I should get serious."
His hand lifted.
Red.
Blue.
They collided.
Purple.
A colossal wave of destruction erupted from his palm, swallowing the sky in its wake. The very air screamed as space itself was torn apart.
Kaguyael raised his hand.
And absorbed it.
Gojo's eyes widened.
"Huh. That's new."
Tobirama & Hashirama Evacuate the Village
From the distance, Hashirama and Tobirama watched the battle unfold.
It wasn't a fight. It was a war between gods.
Konoha couldn't withstand this.
"Tobirama! Get the people out!" Hashirama ordered.
His younger brother's golden eyes sharpened. Without hesitation, he moved, using Flying Raijin to begin teleporting villagers away.
Hashirama turned back toward the battle.
Even from this far away, he could feel it—Gojo was struggling.
And that terrified him.
The Shinobi World Reacts
The Divine Tree's roots spread across the land, its massive form stretching into the heavens.
All across the world, the Five Great Nations watched in shock.
In the Land of Wind, the Kazekage stood in stunned silence, feeling the chakra drain from the land.
In the Land of Earth, Onoki gritted his teeth. "What… is this nightmare?"
In the Land of Lightning, the Raikage's fist clenched. "A threat beyond the gods themselves…"
In the Land of Water, the Mizukage trembled. "This is… the end, isn't it?"
But in the ruins of a hidden hideout—
Madara Uchiha smirked.
Gojo's Resolve
Back in Konoha, Gojo wiped the blood from his mouth.
He was losing.
This wasn't like fighting Madara.
This wasn't like anything he had ever faced.
Kaguyael was not just strong.
He was beyond that.
And yet—Gojo still grinned.
"So, you're saying I'm an 'anomaly,' huh?" he mused.
His Six Eyes glowed beneath his blindfold.
"Good. That means I can still surprise you."
And with that, he vanished—rushing forward for another round.
