"Is this that planet?"
In the void of space, the figure of Ōtsutsuki Bushiki appeared. His burly frame was clad in white armor, his presence radiating immense power.
As a demigod-level expert, he had easily arrived in the starfield where the Ninja World was located.
His gaze focused on the planet below. Surrounding the entire Ninja World were mysterious runic formations. At this moment, the energy of the void was slowly being absorbed by these runes. Sooner or later, the Ninja World would undergo a transformation, evolving into a sacred land — a prosperous grand star.
In the universe, a grand star referred to a planet more than a hundred times larger than an ordinary world, filled with incredibly dense energy where powerful geniuses were constantly born.
The Ōtsutsuki homeworld itself was a grand star — and not a simple one. It housed their most fundamental Divine Tree.
Bushiki slowly descended from the starry sky like a falling comet and landed upon the soil of the Ninja World.
The surrounding terrain was mostly rocky and flat — the territory of the Land of Earth.
Without wasting any time, Ōtsutsuki Bushiki waved his hand. From the spatial dimension within his body, a million White Zetsu were released.
His cold Rinnegan swept across the surroundings before stopping at a certain point in the void.
"Come out."
Bushiki's Rinnegan was majestic — a golden tomoe Rinnegan.
As his words fell, space distorted where his gaze landed.
A group of figures emerged from the void.
Then another.
And another.
In the blink of an eye, the previously empty land was filled with powerful chakra signatures.
This was the Uzumaki Empire's newest space–time ninjutsu.
Naruto had waited five full days for the Ōtsutsuki Clan to arrive.
Originally, he had planned to intercept Ōtsutsuki Bushiki outside the Ninja World. But after careful consideration, he changed his plan.
Fighting within the Ninja World — closing the door and beating the dog — was the best option. After all, very few people in the Ninja World possessed the ability to fight in outer space.
As more and more people teleported onto the battlefield, Bushiki's expression remained completely calm.
His eyes were fixed on one person.
A handsome young man whose aura made him feel the greatest sense of danger.
Uzumaki Naruto.
"Are you the leader of this planet?" Bushiki asked coldly.
He seemed completely unconcerned with the growing number of shinobi gathering around them. His attention remained entirely on Naruto.
Naruto looked up at the towering Ōtsutsuki before him.
"If you want to put it that way," he replied calmly, "you're not wrong."
As the supreme ruler of the Uzumaki Empire, the title naturally belonged to him.
Bushiki's expression turned cold.
"Do you understand the consequences of provoking the Ōtsutsuki Clan?"
"Because of your actions, this entire planet will be destroyed."
At that moment, the other Ōtsutsuki clan members stepped forward, standing beside Bushiki.
Each of them radiated terrifying divine power.
Their eyes all carried the oppressive presence of the Rinnegan.
Every single one of them possessed an aura at the Six Paths level.
Not far away, Uchiha Madara felt the overwhelming power emanating from them.
Instead of fear, an intense excitement appeared on his face.
"This…"
Madara slowly grinned.
"This is truly the place to dance!"
Beside him, Senju Hashirama smiled gently.
"Madara, it's finally time for us to fight side by side again."
Hashirama reached out and patted Madara on the shoulder.
Madara immediately slapped his hand away, releasing a powerful aura.
That sudden burst of chakra instantly drew everyone's attention.
"That guy… Madara really is reckless."
Tsunade narrowed her eyes, her brows slightly furrowed as she clenched her fists.
Meanwhile, more heroes of the Ninja World continued to arrive through the teleportation arrays.
Many of them immediately set their sights on the White Zetsu army and the Ōtsutsuki clan members mixed among them.
Among the White Zetsu forces were also several members of the Ōtsutsuki branch family. Though their talent was inferior, even the weakest among them possessed late-stage Super Kage-level strength.
Naruto looked at Bushiki and spoke coldly.
"The Ninja World isn't a place for you to judge."
"Since you've come…"
"Leave your lives here."
Naruto raised his hand slightly.
It was a simple gesture.
But to everyone present, it was the signal to begin the war.
In an instant, the battlefield erupted.
Tsunade was the first to charge forward.
She leapt directly into a group of White Zetsu.
Boom!
Her fist crashed down like the collapse of heaven and earth.
Before the White Zetsu could even react, dozens of them were instantly blown apart by her monstrous strength.
Soldier against soldier.
General against general.
Naruto's gaze remained fixed on Ōtsutsuki Bushiki.
According to the information brought back by Future Uchiha Sasuke, this man had once fought him for three days and three nights without a clear victor.
Naruto wondered how many moves Bushiki could withstand now.
Looking down from above, the battlefield was already filled with White Zetsu. Their numbers spread across the land like a tide.
A million.
It was a terrifying number.
Every single one of them possessed jōnin-level strength.
In the past, even a handful of such enemies could have brought great disaster to the Ninja World.
Now there were a million.
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
War cries erupted from the Imperial Army.
In an instant, the battlefield descended into chaos.
A magnificent scene unfolded as countless shinobi and White Zetsu clashed together.
Naruto looked at Bushiki and said calmly,
"A battle in the starry sky."
Their power had already reached an extreme level. Even the slightest mistake could devastate the battlefield and harm their own fellow shinobi.
Bushiki naturally didn't care about such concerns.
But he still gave Naruto a measure of respect.
True to his reputation, Ōtsutsuki Bushiki was extremely warlike—one of the most battle-hungry members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Combat made his blood boil with excitement.
"I'll give you that chance."
The moment his words fell, both figures turned into streaks of light and vanished from the Ninja World, shooting toward the depths of space.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara and the others had already engaged their respective opponents.
Each of them faced a Six Paths–level Ōtsutsuki warrior.
"Fire Release: Uchiha Flame Formation!"
Several members of the Uchiha Clan simultaneously performed Fire Release ninjutsu.
Towering flames erupted across the battlefield, instantly incinerating dozens of jōnin-level White Zetsu.
"To restore the glory of the Uchiha is our bounden duty!"
On another part of the battlefield—
"Eight Trigrams: Vacuum Palm!"
A massive invisible palm strike burst forward.
More than a dozen White Zetsu were instantly blown apart.
"My Hyūga Clan is inferior to no one!"
The Hyūga shinobi glanced toward the Uchiha with fierce determination.
The rivalry between the two great dōjutsu clans still existed, though now it was less hostility and more a matter of pride and honor.
Fortunately, the current Ninja World had become far more resilient than in the past.
Otherwise, a war involving millions of jōnin-level and above combatants would have easily reshaped the continent itself.
The White Zetsu army also launched fierce counterattacks.
These were not ordinary Zetsu.
They were war soldiers cultivated by the Ōtsutsuki Clan, elite weapons created for planetary conquest.
Many of the Ninja World's attacks were intercepted or neutralized.
At that moment, the Ōtsutsuki warrior facing Uchiha Madara revealed the terrifying techniques of the clan.
"All-Killing Ash Bones!"
The deadly bone spikes shot forward instantly.
This was originally Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's technique, but it was clearly not unique to her. Many Ōtsutsuki clan members possessed this terrifying bloodline ability.
Madara's Susanoo was pierced in an instant.
His expression changed slightly as he immediately summoned a Truth-Seeking Orb to block the attack.
As his mastery of Six Paths power deepened, Madara had gained near-perfect control over the Truth-Seeking Orbs.
These black spheres were condensed from the power of all seven chakra natures, formed through Yin–Yang Release.
Although technically categorized as ninjutsu, their power far surpassed ordinary Kekkei Genkai or even Kekkei Tōta.
Their defensive capability was among the strongest powers in existence.
