Chapter 1: The Birth of a Goddess

I was supposed to die.

A truck came out of nowhere, the world went black, and I thought that was it. The end.

But instead of death, I woke up in a world that wasn't mine.

A sky of swirling red clouds stretched endlessly above me. The air was thick, charged with power, and my body… was not my own.

My hands were pale, long fingers tipped with claws. My hair flowed down to my feet, silver-white and weightless. My vision was sharper, my senses overwhelming, stretching far beyond human limits.

Then it hit me.

I knew this body.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

I had been reborn. Not as just anyone, but as the first wielder of chakra. The final villain of Naruto. The mother of Hagoromo and Hamura.

The woman who was destined to be sealed away.

A flood of memories rushed into me. Kaguya's emotions, her betrayal, her pain. The suffocating loneliness of being sealed for two thousand years.

But something was wrong.

Kaguya wasn't free yet.

I wasn't in the Fourth Great Ninja War. I wasn't standing before Naruto and Sasuke, fighting for my life.

No—I was somewhere else.

Somewhere outside of time.

Then, it happened.

A screen blinked into existence before my eyes.

[SYSTEM INITIALIZED]

Welcome, Administrator.

You are Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the Progenitor of Chakra.

Primary Ability: Unlimited Creation of White Zetsu.

Current Count: 0

Warning: Your power will activate upon awakening. Control it before it consumes everything.

My stomach dropped.

What?!

Before I could even process the words, the earth split apart.

Pale, human-like figures began to crawl out of the ground. One after another, rising from the earth like an unstoppable flood.

White Zetsu.

Not just a few. Hundreds. Thousands. Millions.

I gasped, stepping back as more of them surfaced, all of them connected to me, their presence flooding my mind. I felt them—like an extension of myself.

But this wasn't like the story I knew.

These Zetsu were different.

They weren't mindless husks.

They were growing stronger.

Their chakra wasn't stagnant—it was evolving.

The system's warning rang in my head.

Control it before it consumes everything.

I gritted my teeth. I had to act now.

I reached out, tapping into my new power, and focused.

Stop.

The ground stilled. The flood of Zetsu slowed, then finally halted.

I gasped for breath, hands shaking.

That was too close.

If I hadn't stopped it, I might have drowned the entire world in Zetsu.

And I wasn't even free yet.

If I was here—wherever here was—then Kaguya's original body was still sealed away.

Which meant I had time.

Time to understand this power. Time to grow stronger.

And when the time came for Kaguya's seal to break?

I wouldn't just be another piece in someone else's game.

I would be ready.

This time—no one would stop me.
