Naruto Immersive Replay, The Curse of the Sharingan

"And I."

A clear, familiar voice, yet carrying a certain absolute authority, rang out, breaking the brief and eerie tranquility.

Everyone looked on in astonishment, only to see that you, who had been tightly protected behind Madara in the present world, had stood up at some point.

You pushed aside the hand that Madara tried to stop you and stepped forward. Your eyes had somehow transformed into golden pupils, shimmering with a molten gold luster!

The aura emanating from you has become ethereal, distant, and majestic, making you a completely different person from before!

"What's wrong with you?! Your body can't take it!" Madara was the first to react, shouting sharply and reaching out to pull you back.

The members of Akatsuki also showed expressions of disapproval and worry, with Deidara even wanting to use Clay Bird to pull you back.

"You"—or rather, Nagi, who was remotely controlling this body at this moment—only glanced at Madara in the present world. Her eyes were calm and undisturbed, yet they carried an irresistible will.

"It's me." Those two simple words made it clear to everyone who was standing there.

"Naki with facial paralysis!!!" Showa shouted excitedly, as if he had seen his pillar of support, and even forgot most of his injuries.

Ignoring Showa's excitement, Nagi's golden eyes locked onto Kaguya, whose expression had drastically changed in the air, and her voice was cold and decisive.

"Now, everyone listen to me."

"Use the Four Symbols Seal."

The moment those golden eyes appeared, for the first time, genuine fear appeared in Kaguya Otsutsuki's pure white eyes!

It was an extreme sense of oppression stemming from a life instinct, like encountering a natural enemy, as if the very existence of the other party was an absolute restraint on her, a "fruit thief".

She could even feel her chakra becoming sluggish. Escape!

We must escape from here immediately!

Without hesitation, Kaguya instantly activated her ninjutsu, attempting to merge into space and escape!

'You' didn't even form hand seals, you just raised your hand and pointed at Kaguya.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!

Countless chains made of pure golden energy burst forth from the void in an instant, seemingly possessing built-in tracking and spatial anchoring capabilities, ignoring spatial distance, and precisely wrapping around Kaguya's body and limbs.

They forcefully dragged her ethereal figure out of the spatial rift and imprisoned her firmly in mid-air!

Chapter 218 - The Final Chapter (7)

"What kind of power is this?! Let me go!" Kaguya struggled in shock and anger, only to find that the golden chains were incredibly tough. The more she struggled, the tighter they tightened, and they were even constantly absorbing and suppressing her chakra.

At the same time, there is no need for much communication.

Indra, Madara of the Otherworld, and Madara of the Present World, almost entirely relying on their fighting instincts and absolute trust in Nagi's commands, instantly sped off to the locations required by the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique.

The four corners—east, west, south, north, and south—were instantly occupied.

You stood firmly in the main position in the south, your hands clasped together, and golden Prajna power surged out from your body like a boiling ocean, echoing the other three powerful Six Paths powers.

An incredibly complex black sealing spell began to rapidly draw in the air between the four people, centered on Kaguya.

The Inner Four Symbols Seal—Activate!

Kaguya let out a desperate and unwilling scream, but she could not break free from the golden shackles. She could only watch helplessly as the darkness representing the final seal, like the gaping maw of fate, devoured her.

As the sealing of the four symbols was finally completed, the technique slowly contracted, completely sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki, along with her unwilling screams, into eternal nothingness.

The wounds torn in the sky began to heal slowly, the ominous blood moon gradually faded from its crimson hue, revealing the deep inky blue of the normal night sky behind it, and a few sparse stars began to twinkle again.

The suffocating divine pressure that had permeated the air receded like a tide.

The Valley of the End fell into an extreme, otherworldly silence.

The silence lasted only a few seconds.

Immediately, like cold water poured into boiling oil, a huge uproar erupted!

"It...it was a success?!"

"Kaguya... has been sealed away?!"

"We...we survived?!"

The ecstasy of surviving the ordeal spread like a plague among the surviving ninjas.

Many people collapsed to the ground, exhausted, crying loudly or laughing uproariously, hugging their companions tightly, regardless of whether the other person was from Konoha, Sunagakure, or any other ninja village.

At this moment, all the barriers and hatred seemed to be washed away by the shared fear of impending extinction.

Amidst the euphoria, there were not no dissenting voices.

Some of the calmer ninjas, or those with minor injuries, gradually showed confusion and bewilderment after a brief period of excitement, casting complicated glances in the direction of the Akatsuki members.

"Wait... the Akatsuki..."

"Wasn't it Kaguya they summoned?"

"They went to such great lengths, sacrificed so many lives, to summon the progenitor of chakra, and then sealed her back in... What were they after?"

"This...this is simply incomprehensible..."

"Is it just to demonstrate their power? Or... is there another conspiracy?"

Whispers began to rise from some corners, and suspicious and wary gazes re-emerged.

The Akatsuki's past misdeeds and the strangeness of this incident are like a thorn stuck in the hearts of many, impossible to remove easily.

The members of Akatsuki seemed completely unconcerned about the cheers and doubts around them.

Deidara plopped down on the ground and clumsily began trying to mold something with the little clay he had left, muttering, "Hmm... art is an explosion... although it didn't explode this time..."

Hidan, dragging his battered body, knelt on the ground, muttering incantations in an unknown direction, whether he was thanking the evil god or complaining about the failed sacrifice.

Kakuzu silently began to count the number of people present, his green eyes gleaming as if he were calculating the potential profits and compensation expenditures of this operation.

Sasori stood quietly in the corner, while Hiruko, severely damaged, was examining her core...

At this moment, all of Madara's attention was firmly fixed on 'you', who had just taken control of the seal and was now slowly falling from the sky.

His heart pounded violently in his chest, the longing that spanned the world, the ecstasy of finding what he had lost, and countless unanswered questions almost bursting from his throat.

He couldn't wait to reach you, to grab you, to confirm your existence, to ask you what had happened, to tell you...

He had just taken a step forward, reached out his hand, and his lips were slightly parted when the words were already on his tongue.

In mid-air, 'you' body trembled violently, and your brilliant and majestic golden eyes dimmed instantly, returning to their original pitch black, but all their brilliance was gone.

The awe-inspiring ethereal aura surrounding him receded completely like the tide, and his body went limp, like a puppet with its strings cut, falling straight down from the sky!

"Nagi!!" Madara's pupils suddenly contracted, and he cried out in surprise! But a figure was faster than him!

Almost instinctively, the real person appeared below you as you fell, opened their arms, and gently caught the unconscious body in their embrace.

His movements even carried a gentleness that was completely out of character for him.

"Nagi? Wake up!" Madara's deep voice carried a hint of tension that was barely perceptible. He immediately knelt down, supporting you with one hand and pressing the other hand against your back without hesitation.

The Six Paths Chakra, imbued with Yang energy, cautiously probed into your meridians. The surroundings instantly fell silent; all the Akatsuki members turned their gazes towards you, their expressions filled with undisguised worry.

Even the Ninja Alliance members who were cheering noticed the unusual situation, and the noise gradually subsided.

The otherworldly Ban stood frozen in place, his outstretched hand still suspended in mid-air, looking at you being held tightly in the arms of another version of himself, his eyes filled with complex and unreadable emotions.

After a brief investigation, Ban's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, raised his head, and met the tense gazes of the crowd. His voice returned to its usual coldness, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a very faint trace of relief.

"She was just exhausted."

These few simple words acted like the best tranquilizer, instantly relaxing everyone who was holding their breath.

Deidara breathed a sigh of relief and continued to knead his clay. Hidan stopped muttering and scratched his head. Kakuzu closed his notebook. Konan silently folded a clean piece of paper, stepped forward, and gently placed it under your neck.

Ban slowly withdrew his hand, which had been frozen in mid-air, clenched it into a fist, and then slowly relaxed it.

He gazed deeply at the pale, peaceful sleeping face in Ban's arms, but ultimately said nothing. He simply turned away silently and walked a little further away, his back view appearing somewhat lonely.

In the present world, Ban picks you up in his arms while you are unconscious, still moving with great care.

He surveyed the devastated battlefield and the various expressions on the faces of the Ninja Alliance members, a cold indifference flashing in his crimson Rinnegan eyes.

He uttered two words casually, as if the battle that had nearly destroyed the world was nothing more than a trivial farce.

The Akatsuki members had no objections and silently followed in his footsteps, just as they had come, surrounding their core and preparing to leave this place of trouble.

The Ninja Alliance members instinctively parted to make way for them, watching with complicated expressions as the group of treacherous ninjas, whose actions were both righteous and unpredictable, departed.

Doubts still exist, but more than anything, there is a weariness of surviving a catastrophe and...an indescribable sense of bewilderment.

The line between heroes and villains has become blurred.

Only endless silence remained, flowing slowly in the wind of the Valley of the End.

In the gap between the origin and the end of all things, in the desolate land at the end of time, a completely opposite silent tragedy unfolds, as the flames of divine punishment have already been extinguished.

It wasn't because the punishment had ended, but because... the "existence" of the punished had been eroded to a certain critical point.

Nagi remained suspended there, her posture unchanged, like a frozen statue.

The raging, boiling Prajna power around her had dissipated, not subsided, but rather exhausted.

The golden eyes remained open, but had lost all focus, reflecting the chaotic spacetime currents that were constantly collapsing and reforming in front of them.

The repulsive force of world consciousness reached its peak.

Countless invisible chains, formed from rules, stretched out from the void, not to inflict further punishment, but to drag her, the greatest heretic, completely into the cracks of time and space.

She was permanently banished and imprisoned until her existence was completely erased, becoming just another silent source of nourishment to keep the world running.

She could feel her consciousness being stripped away, her connections with you, with the Showa era, and with the world she had tried to protect but ultimately abandoned, being forcibly severed one by one.

The pain had long since numbed me.

There was only a cold, calm feeling in her heart.

Nagi knows that you initially summoned Kaguya for that immense energy that could shake space and time, in order to find a way to awaken her from her eternal slumber and even reverse the Sharingan curse on her.

Her fingertips twitched, as if she wanted to touch something, but ultimately fell limply to the ground.

The soul has long been thoroughly soaked by the darkness of the kaleidoscope, corroded by the obsession and curse that originated from Indra and spanned thousands of years.

Like a tree that rots from the core, its exterior may still be able to maintain its luster for a moment with the power of wisdom, but its interior is already empty and can never return to the soil that gave it birth and nurtured it.

It's already a stroke of luck that we got this outcome.

With her last vestiges of consciousness, she sensed the faint yet tenacious life force belonging to you in the distance, and felt the mad yet still burning flame of the Showa era's soul...

She slowly closed her golden eyes, which had seen through too many destinies and tragedies, letting the shackles of time and space drag her into the abyss of eternal silence.

The real world, the Valley of the End.

Indra was indifferently watching the Akatsuki members prepare to leave, intending to quietly return to the end of time after dealing with these trivial matters.

He believed that with her abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to temporarily suppress the backlash from the world's consciousness.

At this moment——

"Ugh!" He suddenly clutched his chest as a sharp, excruciating pain, as if a piece of his soul had been ripped out, struck him without warning!

That wasn't physical pain, but a frantic warning from the depths of his blood, from the reincarnation curse that connected his and her souls!

The cursed seal was wailing, collapsing; its aura was rapidly weakening, fading away!

Indra's handsome face, which always carried an ancient melancholy and arrogance, instantly lost all color, and for the first time, horror and panic appeared so clearly in his Samsara Eyes.

Chapter 219 - The Final Chapter (8)

Almost at the same time!

Otherworldly Madara also suddenly stopped in his tracks, his heart feeling as if it had been gripped tightly by an icy hand, an indescribable sense of panic and loss overwhelming him like a tsunami.

He abruptly turned his head, his gaze fixed on a certain direction in the void, as if he could pierce through space and see the being that was rapidly disappearing!

"..." Showa's nonchalant expression and the twisted pain on his face froze instantly.

She didn't have a reincarnation seal, but her soul connection with Nagi was more direct and profound. The emptiness and intense pain, as if half of her soul had been forcibly taken away, made her suffocate instantly.

The three people's sudden unusual behavior immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Hey? You three... what's wrong?" Hidan, carrying the three-moon scythe, looked at Indra, Madara from Another World, and Showa, who suddenly froze in place, their faces increasingly grim. Even someone as oblivious as him could sense that something was amiss.
