Reborn in Konoha; I Think I’m Cultivating Immortality

Madara stood invincible on the battlefield, exuding unparalleled dominance.

He showed the warriors there why he was known as the "Legendary Shinobi," and also made them understand the true meaning of godlike power.

Even Sakumo was left in awe.

"Uchiha Madara... I never expected the trump card Hui gave me to be this. It's truly... astonishing."

He spoke aloud, recalling how Hui had mentioned before the war started that he would give him a trump card capable of easily securing victory.

Now, Sakumo had no choice but to admit that this trump card indeed had the power to end the war effortlessly.

With this thought, Sakumo felt an overwhelming sense of relief.

Since Hui had prepared a trump card for this battlefield, there were undoubtedly plans laid for the others as well.

This war, waged by the entire world against Konoha, might soon come to an end.

"To shatter the darkness of the old world and become a light guiding people into a new era. Hui, you've done it. Witnessing this is truly an honor."

Sakumo murmured to himself, a faint smile forming on his lips.

To him, meeting Hui was the greatest fortune of his life.

…

Elsewhere on another battlefield, as expected, when Hui's contingency plan was revealed, the war determining the world's future was left without any suspense.

On the battlefield led by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the 09th Konoha Division, a stunning woman floated in the sky, her white robes and long hair billowing as she gazed down at the world.

"Who is that?!"

Hiruzen asked in bewilderment, gripping the staff transformed from Enma, which had already claimed countless lives yet remained unstained by blood.

"I'm not sure, but she's emanating an overwhelming aura!"

The staff, now bearing a mouth, spoke. It was Enma himself.

"Indeed, she feels… extraordinarily terrifying."

Hiruzen said gravely, his eyes fixed on the figure.

"But it seems she's not an enemy."

He added with relief. The woman was facing the enemies of the world alliance and had her back to them.

"That woman…I want her!"

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning exclaimed passionately, his eyes glowing with infatuation.

As a daimyo, he was accustomed to obtaining anything he desired, especially beautiful women. For him, no one could escape his grasp, except, perhaps, powerful kunoichi.

Though the woman before them, floating in the sky, clearly wasn't ordinary, the tide of war was already in their favor.

To him, she would simply become another prize of war.

"What a pity. I want her too."

"Who wouldn't? She's stunning."

"Don't worry, my lord, you'll have her."

A powerful samurai beside the daimyo reassured him.

Satisfied, the daimyo of the Land of Lightning nodded confidently.

However, as though she heard their conversation, the woman in the sky turned to look at them.

What kind of eyes were those?

Pristine like jade, ethereal beyond measure.

"Is this person a shinobi from our clan?"

A Konoha shinobi, a member of the Hyuga clan, asked in confusion. His observation was sparked by the woman's unmistakable Byakugan.

"I'm not sure, but her eyes seem far from ordinary."

Another Hyuga shinobi, identical to the first, spoke. They were twins, Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hiashi.

"But I've never heard of such a clan member, and with the horns on her head, she doesn't even look human."

Hizashi muttered, activating his Byakugan to observe the woman, who was none other than Kaguya herself.

In that instant, his face turned pale as his entire body trembled.

He had seen an unfathomable amount of chakra, an amount so immense it made him take an involuntary step back, shaking uncontrollably.

Beside him, Hiashi also activated his Byakugan upon seeing Hizashi's reaction, and his expression quickly changed as well.

"Such... such terrifying chakra!"

He spoke in a frightened tone, utterly shocked. 

The amount of chakra they were sensing was utterly beyond what a human should possess.

As for Otsutsuki Kaguya, ever since Hui rescued her from the moon, she had been living within Konoha, in the Senju Clan's territory.

Over the past few years, she had been practicing and refining her skills.

However, due to the peculiarities of her Otsutsuki physiology, her body inherently rejected natural energy and could not absorb it.

This fact left Kaguya feeling regretful.

But Hui thought differently.

If the Otsutsuki clan's bodies could also absorb natural energy, dealing with them would become unimaginably difficult.

Thus, Hui focused on training Kaguya in combat techniques, sharpening her battle instincts, and honing her mastery over her own abilities.

After all, Kaguya's powers were far from weak, though her performance in the original story left much to be desired.

Compared to Madara, her combat effectiveness was leagues behind.

As one of the strongest individuals under Hui's command, he would not allow Kaguya to be easily defeated by an ordinary member of the Otsutsuki clan in the future.

"Don't kill everyone?... does that mean I can kill some people?"

Kaguya muttered to herself and then answered her own question.

"Yes, as long as I don't kill them all."

Her self-directed dialogue left many people bewildered, and they began to suspect that this woman might be insane.

"Well, seeing such disrespectful eyes directed at me makes me angry. And being angry... is no small matter."

As she finished speaking, Kaguya extended her hand, her palm facing a group of daimyos below.

"She's about to attack! Protect the daimyo at all costs!"

A samurai shouted, and a crowd of samurai and rogue shinobi surrounded the daimyos, preparing to defend against any potential attack.

However, none of them understood just how terrifying the person they were facing was.

They had no comprehension of the immense gap between themselves and their opponent, a disparity as vast as the distance between heaven and earth.

"All-Killing Ash Bones!"

In an instant, several bones shot from Kaguya's hand at an incredible speed, far too fast for anyone below to react.

Thwip, thwip, thwip!

The bones pierced the bodies of several daimyos. Wide-eyed, they looked down at the gray bones protruding from their bodies, a deep sense of terror welling up inside them.

Moments later, the areas where the bones had penetrated began to turn to ash, dissolving into mud-like substances.

Their bodies disintegrated as though subjected to Edo Tensei's decay-like state.

Then, like fragile clay sculptures exposed to the wind, they crumbled entirely into dust.

The sight horrified everyone.

"What... what kind of jutsu is that?!"

"Is it the Shikotsumyaku of the Kaguya clan from Kirigakure?!"

"No way! The Kaguya clan's bone techniques aren't nearly this terrifying!"

The crowd erupted into a commotion, stunned by the sheer destructive power of the technique.

This noise caused Kaguya to frown slightly.

Oh, wait, she didn't have eyebrows...

"Silence!"

With a single, soft command, Kaguya waved her hand, and the environment around the world alliance forces changed instantly.

No, it wasn't everyone.

Only the forces of the world alliance found their surroundings completely transformed.

In an instant, they were no longer on the battlefield but in a frozen wasteland.

The wind howled, and snow fell relentlessly.

This sudden shift left everyone dumbfounded.

"Is this genjutsu?"

Some hastily formed hand seals to release the illusion, but it had no effect.

Others even bit their tongues hard, hoping to use the pain to break the illusion, but nothing worked.

This wasn't genjutsu.

It was one of Otsutsuki Kaguya's abilities, Amenominaka!

A power described as divine, capable of freely weaving entire spaces.

"This way, the next time I see Hui, not everyone will be dead."

Kaguya spoke with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, the Konoha shinobi below couldn't help rubbing their eyes, doubting whether they, too, were trapped in an illusion.
