Hashirama Senju didn't think much of it. Sitting beside Madara Uchiha, she looked up at Yuuki, who had already become a Six Paths Sage. She helplessly spoke: "Although it feels like a joke from the heavens,… it seems the war is truly over. Don't interfere in the affairs of the next generation anymore, Madara."
"...I just want to create a better future…"
"Then let the next generation do it. Our era… has already ended."
"Ended? So what are you planning to do, Yuuki?"
Naruto Uzumaki looked up at Yuuki, who was gazing at the moon in the sky. He also wanted to speak, wondering if Yuuki could resurrect those who died in the war using[Reincarnation of the Sage Technique], after all, Yuuki had already become something comparable to a Six Paths Sage…
"Go back."
Yuuki lowered his gaze, glancing at the Nine-Tails still being suppressed by two wooden dragons. He couldn't help but sigh—this guy really was useless.
"Save me, little ghost."
Without Yuuki's permission, the Nine-Tails couldn't voluntarily return to the scroll. The wooden dragon was still suppressing him, and he was being pressed so tightly he couldn't move.
"Go back now."
"Bang!"
Having obtained Yuuki's approval, the Nine-Tails didn't want to stay even for a moment longer. It immediately returned to the scroll, gasping heavily. "Damn Wood Style. Why does such a forbidden technique still exist?"
"Before you go back, can you revive—"
"No, the battlefield isn't a game. The dead should be mourned. I won't interfere in the ninja world anymore. Goodbye."
Yuuki glanced at the Nine-Tails inside Naruto's body, but didn't have the desire to stop him. He looked at the countdown on the system panel—fourteen hours remaining—and chose to leave voluntarily.
The space twisted, and Yuuki disappeared into the sky out of thin air. This ending… left everyone on the scene feeling inexplicably disappointed. They had won… but this kind of victory, they couldn't accept.
With the disappearance of the Ten-Tails, Obito Uchiha helplessly knelt on the ground. In the next moment, a kunai directly stabbed toward his neck, without a hint of hesitation.
When all their efforts turned into empty talk, perhaps only death could cleanse himself. He had lost. He hadn't changed the world, nor had he created the world Rin envisioned…
"Shh—"
The kunai pierced his flesh, but he was still alive. Obito Uchiha clenched his trembling right hand with the kunai and said, "Are you going to stop me from committing suicide too? Kakashi."
"I… have questions for you."
Kakashi looked at Obito's pierced left hand, clenched his own right hand, and said, "Why are you like this? Is it because of Rin?"
"…Yes. My heart is already dead. So let me, a dead person, die completely."
Obito Uchiha lay weakly on the ground, closing his eyes, and said, "Kill me. I… have no more attachments to live."
"Don't expect to see Rin in front of me."
Kakashi pulled out the kunai from Obito's left hand and said, "If you want to see Rin, then you have to do it after me. Your mistake… I will watch over it."
"..."
Obito Uchiha said nothing. Lying on the ground, he said, "I don't have the qualification to see Rin."
"I don't either, after all, it's me…"
Kakashi Hatake lowered his head, looking at his right hand, imagining the warmth he felt at that moment. He was the one who killed Rin.
"Then I'll go down with you, and kneel before Rin to admit my mistake."
Obito Uchiha cast a glance at Kakashi beside him. In this battlefield where they were busy rescuing wounded soldiers, no one paid attention to him—the main culprit who started the Fourth Great Ninja War. Everyone was busy with their own affairs.
Without the Tailed Beasts or the Divine Tree, even starting the war had lost its meaning. At this moment, people more than anything wanted to cherish what was in front of them…
"That guy…"
...
"What the hell, I just went to get the Rinnegan, and where's the Ten-Tails?"
Black Zetsu looked at the battlefield that had already ended, utterly bewildered. He only went to get the Rinnegan, and in just ten minutes, not only was the Ten-Tails used to resurrect his mother gone, but the war had also ended.
What about the Moon Eye Plan?
What about Infinite Tsukuyomi?
What about Six Paths Madara?
Exactly which step went wrong?
He just took a eye—who can tell him what the hell is going on?
Where's the Ten-Tails?!
Such a huge Ten-Tails, where did it go?!
Black Zetsu only felt his brain short-circuit. In the perception that covered the entire ninja world, there was no sign of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, as if it had vanished into thin air…
Nothing was there. Nothing could be seen. Nothing…
Tokyo Second Barrier, 06:11:45.
The space twisted again, and Yuuki, holding the Seeking Jade staff, returned to his own space. Having just experienced the Ninja World War, he didn't feel any fatigue. Instead, he felt as if he would never need to sleep again in the future…
He was back, as if crossing the river of time. Although his consciousness told him that not much time had passed, he already felt the passage of years and the wear of age.
So… it was time to end this boring farce. To uproot the "Deadly Reversal Cycle" barrier and its foundation from the root.
Yuuki's appearance didn't attract much attention. Or perhaps, people simply didn't notice his presence. Their life levels were different.
"The master is back."
The first Shura, who had a blood contract with Yuuki, immediately sensed his aura. He looked up at the sky, seeing a figure somewhat similar to his master, but also sensing a slight difference.
"Yuuki?"
Zen'in Maki, lying beside Shura and sleeping, looked at the sky. He saw a figure that was both familiar and strange.
"Brother…"
Yuki Shunhui muttered in his sleep, clutching a panda tightly.
"Rumble—"
In the next moment, a deafening roar echoed within the second barrier. The earth trembled, waking up those who thought it was an earthquake. They quickly ran out of buildings, only to be greeted by a spectacular sight.
The ground… was flying in the sky!!!
The earth cracked apart, and the foundation of the "Deadly Reversal Cycle" barrier, a hundred meters underground, was uprooted. Without its foundation, the barrier was damaged and instantly disintegrated.
Yuuki used precise gravity manipulation to uproot the foundation. If his perception hadn't been restricted by this barrier, he could have easily covered the entire country of Japan. Accidental harm to people like this… simply wouldn't happen.
In fact, this was the barrier. It couldn't truly restrict his perception. Whether he wanted to peek or not was just a thought away.
As the barrier collapsed, Yuuki returned the foundation to its original place. In the next moment, he disappeared from sight, heading to dismantle other "Deadly Reversal Cycles" elsewhere.
"Is this an illusion?"
Ino Yamanaka watched a figure flicker in the sky.
"No, it's not an illusion. It's Yuuki."
Zen'in Maki firmly confirmed. Yet, inside, a strange anger was burning. Now wasn't the time to hide from him—he was hiding from himself. He must have sensed him. Did he do something wrong?
Disappointed, Zen'in Maki stared at the disappearing "Deadly Reversal Cycle" barrier. Helplessness welled up in his heart. Then, he turned his attention to Shura and Yuki Shunhui, murmuring: 'I don't believe you'd even ignore your own sister and dog.'
Now, the "Deadly Reversal Cycle" barrier, representing slaughter, was dissipating one by one as Yuuki hurried away. The most impossible solution now was to destroy the foundation directly.
This old-fashioned method… was the ultimate foolishness. It was like trying to destroy a mountain with a single strike.
This also meant that the chaotic society was about to return to normal. People would soon go back to their lives.
The Sendai Barrier, the Earth Explosion: Heavenly Star, was completely dismantled. Yuuki's clone was holding a human scorpion, like inspecting an art piece, a smile curling on his lips: "I'm really great—created a living work of art."
In the next second, sensing something, Yuuki's clone directly erased the memories in his mind, crushed the still-living work in his hand, buried it in the dirt, and even stomped on it twice.
He sensed it—the main body was approaching here. But everyone had already dispersed. After all, the ones who stayed late had already died.
"Crack—"
The earth shattered. The "Deadly Reversal Cycle" barrier, unsupported without its foundation, collapsed instantly.
Looking at the main body holding the Seeking Jade staff, Yuuki's clone nodded, then the body turned into wood and dissipated.
Yuuki glanced around and immediately headed to other barriers. According to his perception, Tokyo had already been completely destroyed. The Earth Explosion: Heavenly Star he created had vanished, and within a ten-kilometer radius, everything had disappeared.
Was it swallowed by something? Was it done by Tsukumo Yuki?
Disappearing along with the main body, it was truly responsible. Now… the "Gates of Hell" had vanished. The only option to save Gojo Satoru was to find Ao.
He also didn't rule out that, the giant beast, was involved—after all, the chaos, pain, and death of the world… all of it might have been caused by him.
Before obtaining the Ten-Tails.
He was truly a terrifying woman.
If she took Gojo Satoru away too, that would be truly hilarious.
"Black Hole…"
Yuuki just finished speaking, and his body trembled with cold. If that thing was really what he thought it was, then the Earth's rotation might be a miracle—surviving it at all.
He was afraid that the entire ninja world would be taken away. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. What was the point of fighting in the ninja war? One person could wipe out five countries.
With no results from his thoughts, Yuuki focused on retrieving and dismantling the "Deadly Reversal Cycle" barrier. As for the others, he'd deal with them later.
What was most urgent now…
In his mind, Shura's voice transmitted: 'Master, Zen'in Maki is now complaining that you didn't look for her when you returned. Maybe… if you come back, she's following me to the bathroom now, afraid I'll run away…'
"..."
Silence. Yuuki didn't dare to go back. He said nothing and hurriedly moved on to the next barrier.
Having a tiger at home, even the Six Paths would find it difficult.
When all ten "Deadly Reversal Cycle" barriers in Japan were destroyed, it signified that society was returning to normal.
Yuuki arrived at the destroyed Tokyo Academy, looking at the flooded area. He gently waved his right hand, filling in the space with floating meteorites, intending to fill in the land destroyed by Tsukumo Yuki.
