"I won't allow you to insult Obito!"
On the battlefield, the determined shouts of countless golden Narutos and the Seventh Hokage moved Obito in the distance.
For a moment, his expression softened, and he murmured hoarsely, "Naruto..."
It was as if he'd found a long-lost bond.
The Sage, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, smiled in relief—perhaps the source of this twisted world was himself.
"Found you!"
Amid the chaos, a cold, commanding voice echoed. In the hidden cave, the Sage's expression changed, warning:
"Naruto, Obito, be careful—Kaguya has found us!"
In the night sky, beneath a blood-red moon, a white figure opened her Byakugan, gazing down and seeing their hiding place.
Amenominaka!
As Kaguya's bloody Rinne Sharingan pulsed, the scene changed instantly.
In a flash, the Sage, Seventh Hokage, Naruto, and Obito's vision shifted—they were all brought to Kaguya's space.
"You bastard, Hagoromo!"
At the first moment in this space, Black Zetsu appeared, cursing. But he immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Father, Mother, be careful! Hagoromo lost his body, but I sense his chakra in Naruto, and the Hagoromo next to him is real..."
Floating in the air, Kaguya frowned slightly—her Byakugan could see everything.
Obito had sealed the Ten Tails and become a Sage.
The Sage, Hagoromo, stood there fully, and Naruto had Hagoromo's chakra inside.
Shirou, seeing the Seventh Hokage—an older, steadier Naruto—frowned.
"The Seventh Hokage? So Hagoromo went to the future for help."
"The future?!" Black Zetsu was shocked, while Kaguya understood.
"So, you got the treasure from back then."
As one of the first Otsutsuki to descend, Kaguya knew there was more than just the Ten Tails—there was also a space-time treasure: the Karasuki.
"So that's it."
With Kaguya's calm explanation, Black Zetsu finally understood.
"From the future, huh!"
Glaring at the "Seventh Hokage" on Naruto's cloak, Black Zetsu was furious.
Since Naruto became Hokage, it meant he'd failed in another world, and Kaguya had been sealed.
Otherwise, how could Naruto be Hokage?
"You monster, stop spouting nonsense! We have four—no, five, counting Grandpa Sage inside me! You two should just surrender!"
Naruto shouted as if victory was assured.
The Seventh Hokage, more mature, smiled and said:
"I never thought I'd fight Kaguya again—but this time without Sasuke. Still, I've become stronger."
Two Narutos, big and small, stood side by side, ready for victory.
"So, you brought two brats for help—figures, only brats would help another brat."
Shirou mocked, and he and Kaguya exchanged glances before attacking.
The Sage warned them:
"Obito, Naruto, be careful—their plan will separate us and defeat us one by one."
He was right: in Kaguya's space, five separate spaces could divide and conquer.
"Grab onto me—using this eye technique, even Kaguya will use a lot of chakras. I'll get us out."
The Sage had planned everything—even Kaguya's Amenominaka.
"Haha, I'm not playing your game!"
Naruto laughed, implying they'd fallen into his trap.
Black Zetsu, seeing this, shouted, "Father, Mother, Hagoromo's about to escape!"
With a swoosh, the Sage used space-time ninjutsu to pull everyone out of Kaguya's space.
But as soon as they returned to the battlefield, Naruto and the Seventh's smiles froze.
"What?! Where is everyone?!"
The battlefield was desolate, sand blowing, the ground stained with blood and bodies—a sign of the previous battle.
"Not good—we've been tricked!"
The Sage's face changed.
At the same time, Black Zetsu's mocking voice echoed.
"Haha, Hagoromo, did I act well? You thought Mother wouldn't plan for you? Since her Amenominaka can bring you into the Origin Ball space, couldn't it bring others too?"
Under the blood moon, Kaguya gazed at them calmly, as if she had never left.
"Hagoromo, millennia of sealing proved you were a mistake. It's time to correct that mistake."
"Damn!"
Seeing his plan fail, Naruto shouted:
"Grandpa Sage, since the plan failed, let's fight! Four against two, we have the advantage!"
"Yosh!" The Seventh Hokage agreed, punching his fist.
Kaguya and Shirou smiled—their plan had worked.
In Kaguya's Origin Ball space, countless shinobi from the battlefield had been brought in, especially the hundred thousand White Zetsu—all dazed.
"So, this is the Tsukuyomi mark? Such amazing power."
Hashirama, ever the optimist, laughed even as his sealed body left only his head visible.
"Grandpa!"
Tsunade, embarrassed, covered her face—all their arms bore the Tsukuyomi brand.
As the owner of this eye technique, Uchiha Hikari said calmly:
"The hundred thousand White Zetsu are under Infinite Tsukuyomi, and with the brands on everyone's arms, I can use my exclusive eye—Eight Thousand Spears—to transmit chakra..."
From the start, Kaguya's plan was never to trap Hagoromo and company—this was already the third battle. Instead, the Origin Ball space hid the real plot: gather all the shinobi, then let Hikari's eye do its work.
With Eight Thousand Spears, anyone with the brand could have their chakra and spirit controlled and transferred, regardless of distance.
Through this technique, Hikari could funnel everyone's chakra to Shirou and Kaguya—no need to worry about running out.
Meanwhile, outside, the world was already being shattered.
This devastated land had been struck by meteors, then a great shinobi war, and now was a battlefield of gods.
"Uchiha Shirou!"
Obito's eyes widened as space rippled around him—this familiar scene was his eye technique, Kamui!
"Obito!"
Seeing Obito in danger, Naruto roared and charged with Rasengan—having Naruto as a friend truly was happiness.
"Impressive—so quick to befriend your parents' killer. I bet you weren't even this sad when they died."
Shirou sneered, attacking with thunder and the Kusanagi sword.
"Watch out!"
The Seventh Hokage rushed to aid him, and together, they barely held off Shirou's crazy assault.
He was fighting as if chakra meant nothing.
"Shut up! You don't understand—Obito is my comrade!"
But Naruto, hearing Shirou's words, only heard the insult to his comrade and ignored the rest.
"Truly a brat," Shirou sneered, glancing at the Seventh Hokage.
"From your future, and what Kaguya said, this Karasuki is an Otsutsuki space-time tool. It doesn't travel to the future, just another timeline.
We never interfered with your world, but you come here—do you know the consequences?"
Facing Shirou's threat, the Seventh Hokage declared:
"I will never abandon my comrades—and your world is wrong. I will set it right."
Indeed, no matter the world, Naruto's logic was the same.
Six Paths: Super Giant Rasenshuriken!
The Seventh Hokage activated golden Kurama mode, forming a massive Rasenshuriken.
Naruto followed suit, forming his own, shouting:
"Give Obito back to me!"
With two giant attacks flying at him, Shirou's eyes spun.
"Fools!"
A space-time vortex appeared, swallowing both Rasenshuriken.
But in the next instant, Shirou opened another vortex and spat the two attacks back at them.
BOOM!
The explosions lit up the night sky. In the distance, Kaguya was fighting the Sage.
Alone, the Sage was no match for Kaguya—he'd only sealed her before with trickery.
"How could this be?!"
As Shirou rebounded their attacks, the Sage's form flickered and reappeared—he looked shocked and battered.
Naruto and the Seventh Hokage also had gaps in their golden chakra modes.
"Grandpa Sage, what happened? Weren't we supposed to save Obito when Shirou opened the space tunnel?"
In a rush, Naruto asked.
They planned to save Obito by attacking Shirou while his space was open, as in the original story.
But when the Sage entered the space, it was just a black void—no Obito at all!
"Naruto, be careful—there's no Obito in their space!"
The Sage shouted—telling Naruto not to waste chakra. The three of them still had a chance.
Shirou, catching his breath, sneered at them.
"Kamui space is Obito's. My black void is something else entirely."
