Buzz!
Time itself seemed to be torn apart.
The raging gravity cubes, the ferocious Isshiki, and the clamoring members of the Kara organization—
All froze in place.
The next instant, Tobirama slightly parted his lips and spoke a single word.
The sound was not loud, yet it carried the finality of the Shinigami's judgment.
"Destroy."
Puff.
There was no explosion.
No blood.
No violent surge of energy.
There was only… disappearance.
Just one second earlier, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki radiated an aura fierce enough to destroy the world. Alongside him, Delta, Boro, Code, and Victor stood ready.
In the blink of an eye, they turned into nothing.
Not even smoke remained.
Their existence broke down into the most fundamental particles and returned to absolute nothingness.
The massive gravity cubes vanished as well, dissolving into thin air.
The grand hall became instantly empty.
Only a middle-aged man with white hair and glasses remained, standing stiffly in place, his mouth hanging open.
It was Amado, the chief scientist of Kara.
Tobirama withdrew his finger and lightly brushed his sleeve, as though he had merely swept away a speck of dust.
"I'm sparing your life because you still have some intelligence."
Thump!
Amado's legs gave out, and he collapsed to his knees.
He stared at the empty space that had been filled with people just moments ago, his mind completely shutting down.
Jigen… that monster-like Jigen… was gone just like that?
Not even ashes were left behind.
Was the man sitting on the throne human—or a ghost?
"Ah… ah…"
Amado trembled violently, trying to beg for mercy, but his throat seemed locked, only meaningless sounds escaping.
"Silence."
Tobirama shot him a cold glance.
"Kneel to the side and wait. If you make a sound before I permit you to speak, you'll join them."
Amado immediately clamped both hands over his mouth, nails digging into his flesh, nodding frantically like a terrified mouse.
After dealing with the insignificant ones, Tobirama turned his gaze to Kaguya, who was kneeling at his feet.
She stared blankly at the spot where Isshiki had vanished, her pure white eyes wide open.
"Isshiki… dead?"
"The Isshiki who forced me to create the White Zetsu army… is he really dead?"
Her worldview collapsed in that moment.
She had known her master was powerful, but to erase Ōtsutsuki Isshiki with a single word—this level of strength was far beyond her comprehension.
"What? Still haven't processed it?"
Tobirama reached out and gently pinched her cheek, smiling faintly.
"I told you long ago—your perspective is too narrow."
"The Ōtsutsuki you fear are no different from ants in my eyes."
"Not just Isshiki."
"Even the legendary Ōtsutsuki god, Shibai, who ascended to a higher dimension…"
"Killing him is nothing more than a single thought."
Kaguya trembled and abruptly looked up.
"Shibai? You even know about Shibai? But he already ascended—he's no longer in this dimension!"
"Dimension?"
Tobirama chuckled, rising to his feet. His gaze pierced through the dome of the hall, as if looking directly into the endless depths of the universe.
"Before me, there is no distinction between dimensions."
"It's simply a matter of whether I choose to kill or not."
"Since you've been worried about the Ōtsutsuki retaliating…"
"And since I promised you peace as my possession…"
Tobirama's heterochromatic eyes flared, and an invisible, supreme power of laws erupted from his body.
"Let's use this moment."
"While we're in the mood."
"This so-called dominant race of the universe…"
"Will be completely reset."
Kaguya's pupils shrank violently.
"Reset… to zero? You mean—"
"It means exactly what you think."
Tobirama slowly closed his eyes.
The authority of the Naruto World activated.
In an instant, his consciousness expanded boundlessly—bursting free of the Ninja World, surging past the solar system, covering the entire galaxy, and spreading even deeper into the universe.
His will transformed into the highest command of existence.
…
On a desolate planet in the vast universe.
Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki sat beneath a towering Divine Tree, holding a freshly refined Chakra Fruit Pill.
Beside him stood Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki, his expression loyal and solemn.
"Hmph. Kaguya and Isshiki's coordinates have been confirmed," Momoshiki sneered as he tossed the pill into his mouth.
"When we arrive, we'll retrieve that inferior creature and plant a new Divine Tree."
"Yes, Lord Momoshiki," Kinshiki replied respectfully.
Suddenly—
A bone-chilling cold enveloped them without warning.
"Hm? What is this?"
Momoshiki looked up sharply, sensing an invisible gaze watching him from billions of light-years away.
That gaze carried judgment.
And destruction.
"We've found you."
Tobirama's indifferent voice echoed directly within their souls.
"Who?!"
Momoshiki recoiled in horror, his Rinnegan spinning wildly.
"Destroy."
Crack!
Momoshiki's body fractured like shattered glass, countless cracks spreading across him.
"No! What is this?! My body!"
"Kinshiki! Help me!"
"Momoshiki-sama… me too…"
Kinshiki met the same fate.
There was no chance to resist.
Under the absolute rule of annihilation, both disintegrated into cosmic dust.
…
Elsewhere in the universe.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki hummed cheerfully while fishing among the stars.
In the next second, he—and his fishing rod—vanished without a trace.
…
In a mysterious higher-dimensional space.
No matter existed—only the pure flow of laws.
A sacred being radiating golden light, covered in countless eyes, floated silently.
Shibai Ōtsutsuki.
Having abandoned his physical body, he existed as a god, overlooking the life and death of lower dimensions.
"Hm?"
All of Shibai's eyes opened at once, shock flashing through them.
"A lower realm… has locked onto me?"
"How is this possible?"
"Are you a god?"
Tobirama's voice pierced the dimensional barrier effortlessly, descending upon this divine domain with disdain.
"You dare call yourself a god before me?"
"Insolent—!"
Before Shibai could react—
Boom!
An invisible hand shattered the dimensional barrier and seized his law-formed existence.
Absolute suppression.
A crushing force beyond resistance.
"High-dimensional or low-dimensional—it makes no difference."
"Anyone who trespasses upon my world must die."
"Disappear."
Bang!
A sharp popping sound echoed.
The pinnacle being of the Naruto world—the Ōtsutsuki god—burst like a fragile bubble.
Laws collapsed.
Consciousness erased.
Utter annihilation.
…
Konoha Empire, Shrine.
Only two seconds had passed.
Tobirama slowly opened his eyes, the light within them fading back to calm.
He exhaled lightly, feeling a brief fluctuation of energy before it stabilized.
Erasing the entire Ōtsutsuki Clan across the universe was costly—roughly equivalent to taking a single step.
"All done."
He glanced at Kaguya, who lay frozen on the floor, and smiled casually.
"From now on, there is no Ōtsutsuki Clan left in the universe."
"Except for you."
"W-What?!"
Kaguya stared in disbelief.
"Two seconds… and you killed them all?"
"Even… even Shibai?"
"Don't believe me?"
Tobirama shrugged. "You're an Ōtsutsuki. You should have a unique communication method—chakra resonance, a clan network, something like that."
"Try it."
With trembling hands, Kaguya closed her eyes and activated the Ōtsutsuki telepathic network.
Before, it had always carried immense pressure from the main clan, enough to suffocate her.
But now—
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Like calling a number that no longer existed.
Momoshiki.
Urashiki.
Shibai.
All signals were gone.
The universe was empty—completely devoid of Ōtsutsuki presence.
"It's… it's really gone…"
Kaguya opened her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
Not tears of sorrow.
But tears of liberation.
The shadow hanging over her for a thousand years had finally disappeared.
She looked at Tobirama on the throne.
In her eyes, he was no longer merely a master or a powerful being.
He was her only faith.
Her supreme god.
"Master… you are the true god!"
"Kaguya will serve you for all eternity!"
Amado, kneeling nearby, was utterly stunned.
Though he couldn't perceive the events across the universe, Kaguya's reaction said everything.
The Ōtsutsuki Clan was truly extinct.
"Gulp."
Amado swallowed hard, his thoughts racing.
With the Ōtsutsuki gone, this man was the strongest being in existence.
He had to cling to him—no matter what.
"Your Majesty!"
Amado slammed his forehead against the ground.
"This traitor Amado possesses the most advanced biotechnology and Scientific Ninja Tool technology in the Ninja World!"
"I am willing to serve you with absolute loyalty! I will modify your body, create android armies, and develop interstellar warships!"
"Please, Your Majesty, accept me!"
Tobirama looked down at the god and the man kneeling before him and smiled in satisfaction.
All obstacles were gone.
All the necessary pieces were in place.
"Amado," Tobirama said softly.
"Serve me well, and I'll grant you true freedom."
"You'll understand in time."
He rose from the throne.
"The Ōtsutsuki were only an appetizer."
"Next…"
"I will lead you to conquer an even wider world."
