A tall and pale-skinned man, who had deep wrinkles and a strong jawline in his elderly age, emerged from the cracked space after Shinimigami was beaten.
Unlike a normal elderly man, he had spiky, shoulder-length, pale brown hair, with a chin-length, braided lock hanging in front of his left ear, and a pair of horn-like protrusions extending from either side of his forehead and pupilless white eyes.
Rinnegan.
This man also possessed it.
Yet, without a doubt, as this man emerged, Shinra knew the identity of this man well.
"Hagoromo Ootsuki."
"It's the God of Shinobi, the Sage of Six Paths, you brat."
Unlike the people of the present, Hagoromo was an ancient man, and naturally, his manner and beliefs came from the past, which upheld the hierarchy of the people to the limit.
In his eyes, all of the people present were children, babies, and before him, they should have shown him respect.
Still, while Shinra was calm, everyone else felt powerless as they felt like in front of this man, they were all weak, ants. In front of the god, they, as mortals, could only bow down and worship.
In front of this overwhelming might, all of them could only succumb.
With their reactions, Hagoromo never paid attention to them, ants that he could crush at any moment, and in the world of mortals, what he paid attention to had always been his two sons, and their reincarnations, as in every era, his two sons had always been the ones who changed the world, and how it should be.
It was how the world should be.
Yet, the emergence of Shinra changed everything.
Shinra, who wasn't even his son, became an existence that brought a variable to this world.
How did Hagoromo know?
Naturally, it was from the toad, who could predict the future, reading what all living beings couldn't see.
Hagoromo also believed it, especially when the toad had never been wrong, and the toad believed that Shinra would destroy this world, then he would erase him!
Only—
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The barrier that surrounded everyone quickly shattered as the pressure that was exuded by Hagoromo was felt by everyone, but at the same time, Shinra also released his Supreme King Haki!
The sky rumbled, the space crackled, and the air itself seemed to suffocate them.
Shinra's existence was like the center of the world itself.
No, he was the star!
He had his own gravity, drawing everyone in, yet also oppressing them with the sheerness of his presence.
At this moment, Shinra used everything, all of his accumulations that he had collected in all of the worlds that he had been in.
While the world that he had been in wasn't much, it had greatly given him a lot of improvements, especially when he had taken all of the Tailed Beasts, except for the Nine-Tailed Beasts!
Still, even so, could he defeat this god of Shinobu?
Shinra wasn't sure, but let's try!
"LONGINUS!"
With his blade unleashed, it cut down everything!
"!!!!!!!!!"
Against the creature known as Ootsuki, everything that was related to chakra, especially ninjutsu, was useless, and the only way to defeat it was by using the power of eyes, senjutsu, and also physical ability.
Yes, Hagoromo might be able to create the moon, but Shinra could destroy the moon!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
Like a meteor that dropped and brought the dinosaurs to extinction, everyone felt that it was the end of the world, but fortunately, this attack of his was only aimed at Hagoromo!
Nevertheless, as Hagoromo received this attack, Shinra also moved fast by trapping him inside his Kamui space, before he moved toward Naruto and grabbed the Shinigami to release the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, as half of the chakra of the Nine-Tailed Beast, Kyuubi, or Kurama, was in Minato.
If it were in the original, then it wouldn't be easy, but as Naruto was still a child, and Shinigami was in his hand, along with the Kotomatsukami that Shinra had possessed, everything came naturally.
"Huh? Who are—"
Before Minato finished, half of the chakra of Kyubi was taken by Shinra.
With his Eye of Usurp, nothing could be stolen by him, and by then, Shinra had transformed, becoming stronger, as his sheer presence seemingly could destroy the planet.
'No, this isn't enough.'
Shinra wanted to make sure that Hagoromo would end, and naturally, he also wanted to take away Asura and Indra, who had been causing a mess in this world.
There was no need for those two again in this world; he alone was enough.
'Still...'
As his gaze turned toward the familiar bowl head and green spandex, he apologized inwardly.
'Let me borrow your power for a bit.'
"You....!"
Yet, Hagoromo was shocked, as he had never thought that the creature of this planet, his descendants, could have such a power. As for the Kamui space, he didn't feel that much surprised since he could control the space and time with his power.
Still, something that shocked him the most was definitely how he was hurt!
How was he hurt?
What did that young man do?
However, he knew that he had to react and kill Shinra, or else, he was afraid that he would disappear, and this world would be over!
Yet, when he was thinking of recovering, all of a sudden, he felt like his neck was wrapped by a thin wire, as a sharp hook entered his body!
"Ugh!"
The sharp hook moved viciously like a snake, as it wrecked his innards, and even stabbed his heart so many times, yet even so, Hagoromo wasn't the son of the goddess rabbit for nothing, and as he could even defeat his mother, who was hailed as one of the strongest, how could he be defeated so easily?
"You are so weak! Are you really that woman's son?"
"...you are?!"
Hagoromo widened his eyes as he saw a creature whose features were similar to his.
"Nice to meet you. I am Urashiki Ootsuki."
"Ootsuki?!"
"You are also one of us, but unfortunately, you are just the son of a slave."
"....." Hagoromo.
His mother was a slave?
"Hehe, you don't believe me? Your mother is a slave for us to grow the Chakra Fruit. She planned to grow stronger because she knew that we were going to hunt her down, killing her, but fortunately, you sealed her."
Urashiki laughed happily. "I can't believe that her own sons were sealing her, giving us a chance for this easy battle!"
"...."
Along with Urashiki's happy laugh, Hagoromo was at a loss and realized everything, yet it was too late. He was already dead, and while he could return to the world of the living, it was just his soul, and he was using the accumulation of power that he had collected.
Yet, by this moment, Hagoromo realized how foolish he was, and it was too late.
"You are talking too much, Urashiki."
"Sorry, boss!"
"You..."
Hagoromo wanted to say something, telling Shinra something, but Shinra didn't bother to talk with him since whatever this guy planned to say, it didn't matter.
"You plan to kill me, so you should be prepared to be killed, okay? Oh, right, you are dead already, so just go die."
As the Eye of Usurp worked, everything within Hagoromo was taken away, naturally, along with Urashiki's help, Shinra also got Hamura's power, too.
Nevertheless, with all of this, Shinra had become ever stronger, and nothing could stop him.
Yet, was it the end?
Naturally, no, since with Urashiki's coming, Shinra knew that something was about to come.
However, as Hagoromo was about to be defeated, his thoughts were sent toward his descendants, and something was about to come to an end for Shinra.
'I leave everything to you two, my sons...'
As his thoughts disappeared, two figures emerged from the crack of the space as they saw the familiar spaces that they hadn't seen for a long time.
