Chapter 10: The Seeds of a New Era

Far away from the shinobi world, in a dimension untouched by time, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki sat in quiet contemplation.

She had seen everything.

Through the eyes of White Zetsu, she had watched the war's aftermath, the Kage's discussions, and the sorrowful memorial that followed.

She exhaled softly. Foolish humans… always mourning after the destruction they bring upon themselves. 

Beside her, Black Zetsu knelt, ever loyal. "Mother, you were right. They do not understand what is coming." This work was created by shredder121

Kaguya nodded. "They think this peace will last. But the Ōtsutsuki will come, as they always do."

She looked ahead, beyond the swirling void of dimensions, where her true forces were gathering.

The White Zetsu…

Her creations.

Her soldiers.

The world believed them to be mindless husks, pawns with no future. But Kaguya had long since discarded those limitations.

Now, they had infinite potential.

They could grow, learn, and wield chakra.

And there were ten million of them.

Kaguya turned to Black Zetsu. "How is their training progressing?"

Black Zetsu's expression was unreadable, but there was excitement in his voice. "Faster than expected. Their growth surpasses even my estimates. Every day, they grow stronger, smarter. Soon, they will be ready."

Kaguya's gaze remained distant. Soon… but not yet.

She would not make the same mistakes as before. This time, she would be patient.

Let the shinobi world believe they had peace.

Let them celebrate their fleeting victories.

By the time they realized the truth…

It would be far too late.
