Chapter 334: The Final Step!!
Chapter 334: The Final Step!!
Infinite Tsukuyomi!
Divine Tree Birth!
Everything unfolded as Yuyi Xuan Yue had anticipated.
Gazing at the moon above, its radiant glow gradually fading, Yuyi could sense the chakra of the entire planet flowing into his body through the God Tree. A solemn expression crossed his face.
Now, he had reached the final step, the most crucial moment of his plan.
"Yuyi Xuan Yue!!!"
Suddenly, Naruto's furious roar echoed from below.
As the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi faded, the sky returned to its pitch-black state.
Naruto snapped out of his daze, his eyes filled with anger as he glared at Yuyi Xuan Yue.
The current state of the world was far from what he and everyone else had hoped for.
Naruto looked at his palm, where the Ultimate Seal left by the Sage of Six Paths remained.
He hadn't been able to stop the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but if he could defeat Yuyi Xuan Yue, there was still a chance to break the genjutsu.
Everyone and the ninja world could be restored to how they were before.
With this thought in mind, Naruto swiftly flew towards Yuyi Xuan Yue.
If it had been Uchiha Madara who had achieved his lifelong pursuit, he might have taken the time to explain to Naruto that a peaceful world had finally arrived and enthusiastically challenged him to another battle.
But Yuyi Xuan Yue did not do that.
He merely glanced indifferently at Naruto, showing no interest in engaging with him further.
At this point, he saw no need to pretend to be interested in the Moon Eye Plan.
As planned, chakra from all over the planet was flowing towards him, and the only thing left for Yuyi to do was to make it his own.
So...
A tearing sound rang through the air.
Without waiting for Naruto to catch up, Yuyi Xuan Yue sped off in another direction, even faster than before.
He didn't want to waste time on unnecessary people.
"Don't run away!"
Although Naruto had activated the Sage of Six Paths mode, his speed still fell short of Yuyi Xuan Yue, who was now the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails.
With Yuyi intentionally evading battle, Naruto found himself unable to do anything for the time being, which only added to his frustration.
Another individual who felt a similar impatience was Kurotsuchi.
As a byproduct of the Six Paths and a vessel for Kaguya's power, he was unaffected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Now that the Infinite Tsukuyomi had been unleashed, nothing stood in the way of his mother's arrival.
As a devoted son, Kurotsuchi couldn't wait to be reunited with his mother after a millennium apart.
He contemplated stabbing Yuyi Xuan Yue in the back.
After all, the situation was different from before; Yuyi's body was increasingly influenced by Kaguya's power, greatly increasing Kurotsuchi's chances of a successful betrayal.
This would hasten his mother's descent.
However, Yuyi's relentless flight through the skies made it difficult for Kurotsuchi to find an opportunity to strike.
"Hmm? What's he doing?"
Just as Kurotsuchi was considering giving up, he noticed something odd about Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Chakra from people all over the planet was flowing towards Yuyi, and as the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, he was more than capable of absorbing it all.
Yet, Yuyi did not do that.
At that moment, under Yuyi's conscious control, the vast amount of chakra flowing towards him from all directions did not merge into his body. Instead, it gathered in the palm of his hand.
As time passed, a visible, chakra-like fruit began to take shape in Yuyi Xuan Yue's palm, growing more and more solid.
"Is he preparing a new technique?" Naruto, in hot pursuit, immediately raised his guard.
Kurotsuchi furrowed his brows as he witnessed this, "What is Yuyi Xuan Yue up to? Why isn't he absorbing the chakra into his body?"
The faster the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki recovered chakra, the quicker Kaguya would arrive.
But Yuyi Xuan Yue's peculiar actions at this juncture were puzzling.
Normally, one would allow their body to absorb the chakra, continuously enhancing their strength.
All along, Kaguya had believed that Uchiha Madara was the best candidate for his Moon Eye Plan.
If Uchiha Madara had replaced Yuyi Xuan Yue at this moment, Kaguya was confident that the situation would not have taken such an unexpected turn.
But Yuyi Xuan Yue had intervened, taking the fruit for himself, and Kaguya could do nothing to stop him.
Kaguya tried to recall everything he knew about Yuyi Xuan Yue and what he had witnessed within the limited world of the genjutsu.
It seemed that his initial worries were coming true.
"This can't continue! I must put a stop to this!"
Although Kaguya was unsure of Yuyi Xuan Yue's intentions, he decided to take immediate action.
The pressure Yuyi Xuan Yue exerted on him was immense.
A powerful figure active during Kaguya's era, the toad, Jiraiya, who had participated in the mother-son conflict, had also fallen to Yuyi Xuan Yue's hands.
In a millennium, Kaguya had never encountered such a formidable opponent.
At this critical juncture, even the slightest deviation from Yuyi Xuan Yue's expected behavior warranted Kaguya's utmost vigilance.
Even though he firmly believed in his mother's strength...
...he couldn't afford to underestimate Yuyi Xuan Yue!
Determination flashed in Kaguya's eyes, mirroring the resolve in Naruto's gaze, and he vanished in an instant.
Not long after...
Naruto threw Rasengan after Rasengan at Yuyi Xuan Yue, hoping to slow him down.
Yuyi Xuan Yue dodged nonchalantly, his eyes fixed on the chakra fruit in his palm—a brilliant, sun-like orb that grew denser and more solid with each passing moment.
Suddenly!
A bizarre shadow appeared out of thin air and lunged at Yuyi Xuan Yue with incredible speed.
Yuyi Xuan Yue let out a cold snort.
The Path-Seeking Bead instantly transformed into a screen, intercepting the incoming shadow.
"Kaguya."
Yuyi Xuan Yue turned to face his attacker, his expression calm as he said,
"I've been expecting you."
Hearing this, Kaguya's face, visible outside the Path-Seeking Bead, grew solemn as he said:
"Yuyi Xuan Yue, your knowledge far exceeds my expectations."
It was clear that Yuyi Xuan Yue had anticipated his arrival and was prepared.
Based on the state Kaguya had displayed up until now, Yuyi Xuan Yue shouldn't have been able to do so.
"Why?" Kaguya couldn't help but ask.
"Ask that question when you're fully here," Yuyi Xuan Yue replied.
As Kaguya's expression changed, three Path-Seeking Beads shot out from behind Yuyi Xuan Yue, hurtling in three different directions.
Soon, three more split bodies of Kaguya were forced out of hiding.
Kaguya's plan to lure Yuyi Xuan Yue with one split body while the others took advantage of the situation to possess him had been easily thwarted.
Seeing this, Kaguya, who had no other options left and had realized how deeply Yuyi Xuan Yue had hidden his true self, could only struggle and shout desperately:
"Mother!!!"
"Mother?"
Not far away, Naruto, who heard Kaguya's shout, looked around in confusion.
There were no older women—no sisters, aunts, or grandmothers—in the vicinity.
Why was this pitch-black fellow shouting "Mother"?
Naruto was perplexed, but Yuyi Xuan Yue's face paled.
As Kaguya shouted "Mother" with deep affection, Yuyi Xuan Yue suddenly felt a surge of unfamiliar chakra within him—a chakra he had never sensed before.
Not only was it invading his body at an alarming rate...
...but the chakra he had collected through the God Tree was also flowing into his body uncontrollably.
"It's time!"
As the chakra fruit in his palm, which had almost solidified, began to destabilize, Yuyi Xuan Yue made a swift decision.
