Chapter 19: Pathway to the Ninja World

Kaguya stood in the center of her creation, the vast, untamed world around her now fully shaped by her will. The titans—Godzilla and Kong—patrolled the land, their mighty roars echoing across the forests and mountains, ensuring that no threat would dare to rise against her. The dragons soared through the skies, their elemental powers keeping the balance of nature in check. Yet, as powerful as her new world had become, there was one thing that weighed heavily on her mind.

The threat of the Ōtsutsuki was still looming. If you're hearing this, then the person creating this audiobook did not obtain permission. This work was created by shredder

Though she had created an impenetrable world, she knew the Ōtsutsuki would stop at nothing to challenge her dominance. She had learned much from her time observing the Ninja World, and with the knowledge of their plans for domination, Kaguya realized she needed a way to keep the Ninja World in check while preventing the Ōtsutsuki from reaching her domain.

Her thoughts turned to Sasuke, the one who could potentially breach the boundaries of her world with his Rinnegan. It was true that she had no real desire to interact with the Ninja World, but if Sasuke could come here, he might be able to understand her position and—hopefully—offer the cooperation she needed to ensure her future dominance.

But there was a delicate balance to strike. If she allowed Sasuke to pass through to her world too easily, the Ōtsutsuki might find the entry point and attempt to invade. She couldn't let that happen.

Kaguya's eyes narrowed as she began to concentrate her chakra, weaving an intricate pattern of energy that connected her world with the Ninja World. Her powers surged with intensity as she formed the pathway, a glowing, shimmering rift in the air that seemed to hum with an otherworldly energy. It was a bridge, a thin thread between her realm and theirs, one that only those with the proper ability could traverse.

Sasuke's Rinnegan had the power to pierce through dimensions, so she knew he would be able to find the pathway. But that was part of her plan. She wasn't going to make it easy for anyone—least of all the Ōtsutsuki.

As the pathway began to solidify, Kaguya took a deep breath and sealed off the edges with an aura of immense power. The edges of the rift flickered with energy, radiating waves of chakra that would prevent any unwanted intrusions.

"Now, the pathway is set," Kaguya whispered to herself, her voice laced with cold determination. "The Rinnegan's power will be able to pierce through. But for anyone else to come through… they must have the strength to do so."

She looked toward Black Zetsu, who had been quietly watching her work, his form as ever-present as the darkness that surrounded her.

"Once Sasuke comes through, he will be able to access my world," Kaguya continued, her voice low. "But no one else—not the Ōtsutsuki—will be able to. I will seal off the other pathways and block the space around the rift. They will have no way to find it."

Black Zetsu nodded in agreement, his eyes gleaming with silent approval. "The Ōtsutsuki will be unable to follow, but you are still playing a dangerous game, Kaguya. If Sasuke decides to interfere, he may be a threat."

Kaguya's lips curled into a faint smile, though there was no warmth in it. "If Sasuke comes through, it will be because I allowed him to. I have no intention of letting anyone stand in my way—not even the Ōtsutsuki. I will deal with them in time, once I'm fully prepared."

She stretched her arms out, a surge of power rippling through the air as she reinforced the barrier around the pathway. No matter how strong the Ōtsutsuki were, they wouldn't be able to track the rift now. The boundaries between her world and the Ninja World would be impenetrable to them.

For the time being, her world would remain safe. And Sasuke would come to her, not as a threat, but as an opportunity—an opportunity to gain understanding, to forge a bond, and perhaps even to prevent the Ōtsutsuki from taking notice of her presence.

Kaguya's gaze turned to the swirling energies of the rift, her mind racing with possibilities. She was patient, more than willing to wait for the moment when everything would fall into place.

"Once I'm fully ready," she muttered, "I will be unstoppable. The Ōtsutsuki will be no more, and this world will be mine. No one will dare challenge me, not even them."

As she finished sealing the pathway, she turned away, her thoughts turning inward as she began to prepare for the next phase of her plan. The Ninja World was far from her ultimate concern, but it would serve as a stepping stone—one she would use to further solidify her power.

And with that, she retreated into the depths of her world, leaving the pathway to the Ninja World open, waiting for Sasuke to make his move.
