Kaguya planted the Ten-Tails in the Divine Tree, then ambushed Isshiki, using it as a sacrifice to begin the Divine Tree's growth and its subsequent plunder of the world.

Thousands of years ago, the world on this planet was also very different from others.

Firstly, there is an existence of extraordinary power in this world. With the abundance of natural energy, beings that are regarded as gods by mortals appear.

Combining the memory of the so-called eight million gods, it seems that everything can become a god, except for humans, or rather, living humans.

Thousands of years ago, before the advent of chakra, it was nearly impossible for someone without toad oil to sense natural energy, and even if they did, petrification seemed to be their ultimate fate.

Eight million gods reside in Takamagahara, a place similar to a divine kingdom.

Natural energy is the foundation of the existence of eight million gods. After the divine tree was planted, this act of undermining the foundation of the gods naturally caused all the gods to begin to rebel.

But judging from the results, it seems that they all failed.

The other three holy sites are unclear, but in that era, Mount Myōboku seems to have only one Gamamaru appearing, who began his scheme by taking advantage of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's discovery of the secret of the Divine Tree.

Toads have long lifespans, but from the current perspective, only one toad, Gamamaru, has survived from that era to the present day on Mount Myōboku.

Ryuchi Cave did not appear, but the White Snake is the most senior one. The slug in Shikkotsu Forest is the only one that exists, and it also did not appear.

And the others...

Hidan seems to be connected to the evil god, and the Shinigami and the Uzumaki clan are involved, but the fact that he could be deceived by Orochimaru with White Zetsu suggests that there might be a lot of problems involved as well.

Pure Land...

Similar to Takamagahara, this other space was transformed into a sacred place for the dead.

According to the Sage of Six Paths in the memories, the living also possess chakra after they die.

Therefore... chakra is not constant.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the deceased brought more and more chakra into the Pure Land, but the number of newly born ninjas also increased.

In addition...

Thousands of years ago, the Sage of Six Paths' two unfilial sons fought a great battle against their mother, and the entire world was destroyed.

The Sage of Six Paths then began his travels, founding the Ninja Clan in an attempt to restore the world's vitality.

So what makes this world special is... its powerful resilience and the regenerative nature of its natural energy?

"You seem puzzled?"

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Uchiha Un: "Your power has surpassed that of your mother, and the existence of the Pure Land cannot be hidden from you. Therefore, I also want to see how you will choose..."

Uchiha Yun: "My stance is naturally not with the Otsutsuki clan, but with this world. However... if you and Hamura knew about the threat posed by the Celestials, then why didn't you consider joining forces with Kaguya?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yi let out a sigh of relief: "My mother... her obsession with chakra was too deep. At that time, if the Divine Tree had continued, perhaps this world would have had no future."

"There are many White Zetsu, but numbers are not very useful when facing the Celestials. We don't know how powerful the Celestials are, but if they are called a race, then they must have devoured Chakra Fruits."

"In fact... my mother was also changed a lot by this world. If it hadn't been like this back then, neither Hamura nor I would have survived."

Uchiha was indifferent.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's obsession with chakra had become clearer to him since the last transaction.

If she hadn't been sealed away, if the replicated tokens hadn't drained her power, if her strength hadn't been greater than hers at that time...

Whether a deal can be reached is still uncertain...

Let's turn our attention back to Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

This old man seems to be acting excessively arrogantly.

Just now, he gathered the chakra of all the previous Kage into one body and pulled Naruto, Sasuke and others out of the other dimension. This method already shows that the opponent can borrow the chakra of the dead who have returned to the Pure Land.

In addition, there was the power-up he gave Naruto and Sasuke...

The power of the Six Paths, the Pure Land, the vast amount of chakra...

Is this the power that the world gives us?

After a moment's thought, Yun asked, "Have you ever heard of divine arts?"

"Divine magic?"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki shook his head slightly: "After reaching the current level, the existence of Yin-Yang Release has lost its significance as a technique. Even the hand seals were merely an accidental discovery by Indra."

Yun pondered, "What I'm referring to isn't a hand seal technique, but a power that's almost a rule. It's impossible to launch an attack, impossible to harbor hostility..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun's gaze was fixed on Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

But what he saw was contemplation and worry.

"Is this the power of the celestial beings?"

"No, according to what I learned from Kaguya, this is the power of divine magic. It is also the power of a god known as the Otsutsuki."

"call……"

The Sage of Six Paths paused for a moment: "It seems that we are still not well prepared. Hamura and I learned very little from our mother; she never tells us these things."

"The existence of celestial beings is also something I deduced, because at that time, I could occasionally sense my mother's fear and unease."

For a moment, both the human and the spirit fell silent.

The title "God of the Otsutsuki" is enough to illustrate the level of his power.

Even Uchiha Kumo had only experienced the power of rules through secret scrolls.

"Your Excellency... what are your plans next?"

The Sage of Six Paths hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are also people in this world that you care about. Bonds are formed, and I hope that you can appear at that time and save this world."

Yun turned and looked into the distance, where Naruto and Sasuke could be seen.

"You made the right choice."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki paused, then said, "Them? But I only placed my hopes on them to reseal my mother. If what you say is true..."

After pondering for a moment, Yun replied, "This world... after it was planted in the Divine Tree for the first time, absorbed nutrients, and bore fruit, it developed a certain degree of self-preservation consciousness."

"Kaguya developed emotions from being without desires, which allowed you two brothers to grow, then there was that toad on Mount Myōboku, and finally you sealed Kaguya away..."

"The existence of Black Zetsu has been able to deceive you, to remain hidden for thousands of years, to fool so many people with just a stone tablet... all of this is too vague."

Vague……

The Sage of Six Paths frowned. Though merely a spirit, he seemed to recall some memories in an instant.

It was blurry, yet it felt like I understood another existence.

After glancing at the old man, Yun said, "Next, I will capture the eight half-tailed beasts and go to Kaguya's alternate dimension to unseal them."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was not surprised, but asked, "You must have already persuaded my mother... If so, that would be wonderful."

"But... if possible, please preserve a portion of the tailed beasts' will so that they can survive."

Yun nodded: "Their chakra must be taken, but it's not right to make them sacrifice themselves in the name of righteousness."

“Dividing them into smaller parts and giving them the ability to regenerate and reassemble might actually make them more free. Without power, fewer people will try to take advantage of them.”

After taking one last look at Naruto and Sasuke, Yun stepped into the passage and left.

Even the Sage of Six Paths knew very little about the Otsutsuki clan, and had to rely on guesswork and explanation to understand much of what they knew.

However, the existence of the Pure Land made him realize the special nature of this world.

Dragon Veins, Grell's Stone, the Three Holy Lands...

Is natural energy regeneration endless?

……

"Brother."

Another figure appeared beside the Sage of Six Paths, Hamura's face was somewhat gloomy.

Is he trustworthy?

Hagoromo Otsutsuki replied, "The power of this world is magical. Even my mother is being changed by this world. Regardless of whether she is a person of this world or not, the bonds she has are enough to make her stand on this planet."

Hamura looked up at the moon overhead: "The main family was destroyed, and all the chakra has entered the Pure Land, but the Byakugan has been made into a giant Tenseigan."

Yu Yi looked into the distance: "Perhaps the will of the world has focused more attention on them. The princess with the white eyes, perhaps we could send them on a trip..."

Hamura asked doubtfully, "If that descendant of the branch family can obtain the Tenseigan, this little guy won't be able to stand against him. Unless his brother bestows upon him the power of the Six Paths..."

Yu Yi waved her hand: "The power of the Six Paths... is a power bestowed upon the Pure Land by the world over the past thousands of years. This power still needs to mature. Originally, we were only on guard, but now that we know about the so-called divine arts, our original preparations are no longer sufficient."

Hamura: "Without the power of the Six Paths, he..."

Yu Yi: "I want to see if the world is paying more attention to him because of our choices. And there's that person from before, with whom we share a bond, or perhaps a similar stance..."

Hamura: "Understood. I will guide you, brother."

……

A month later.

The Fourth Shinobi World War ended, with heavy casualties among the five great ninja villages and the samurai of the Land of Iron.

However, compared to the battle between the Sage of Six Paths brothers and Kaguya, it was far, far smaller.

Ultimately, the battle between Naruto, Sasuke, and Kaguya mostly took place in another dimension, which meant that ordinary people were spared much of the disaster.

As expected, the Allied Shinobi Forces disbanded. However, compared to when they were formed, most of the Shinobi Forces had died. At this time, their hatred had faded, and they had even formed a special bond.

The tailed beast was extracted, but the jinchūriki who had died before that could not be brought back to life.

Apart from the Nine-Tails half that was already inside Naruto, the other eight tailed beasts and half of the Nine-Tails all chose to leave the human world.

The Eight-Tailed Gyūki trusts Killer Bee, but that doesn't mean it can trust the Hidden Cloud Village without reservation.

Furthermore, with the war just ended, and considering that the Tailed Beasts also played a significant role, coupled with the influence of the Five Kage, there has been no talk of recapturing the Tailed Beasts to create Jinchuriki.

However, it's uncertain how long this situation can last.

After all, Konoha still has a Jinchuriki, and Kumogakure also has a Sasuke with the Rinnegan.

……

Konoha, a barbecue restaurant.

After the reconstruction, the commercial street was replanned. As a barbecue restaurant owner with powerful connections, he seized the opportunity to expand his restaurant, adding many more private rooms.
