"Yggdrasil, take our final attack."
After saying this, Itachi injected all of his Magical Energy (Yin Chakra) into Sagittarius before throwing it toward Yggdrasil.
The next moment, Sagittarius shot forward with immense speed, breaking through every Yggdrasil clone in its path as it charged toward the main trunk, ready to split it in half.
The Sage of Six Paths twitched his lips as he watched the black spear racing toward Yggdrasil.
Was this truly the most successful descendant of Indra?
"YOU BRAT ITACHI, stop playing and seal Sagittarius immediately!!!"
Hearing the Sage of Six Paths shout, Itachi clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Didn't he know that thirteen was the prime age for children to play?
Ryōiki Tenkai: Hakua Kyūden
Domain Expansion: White House
At that exact moment, Sagittarius was about to collide with Yggdrasil's strongest attack in its base form.
Yggdrasil merged one of its four main branches with thousands of auxiliary branches filled with lightning and holy power before compressing them into a spear nearly a thousand meters long.
Before the two attacks had even collided, the space between them had already shattered. The ground below cracked thousands of meters deep while the atmosphere itself trembled violently.
If the two truly collided head-on, the Land of Fire might genuinely be destroyed.
"Oh, I can't allow you beasts to recklessly destroy my home planet."
World Magic: Gale of Life
World Magic: Gaia's Creation
World Magic: Tethys Blessing
World Magic: Ginnungagap
The next moment, Itachi converted the Space, Gravity, Lightning, and Holy magic power that was about to devastate the Land of Fire into pure Life Attribute energy, dispersing it across the surrounding tens of kilometers.
Then, with the help of Domain Expansion, Itachi leveled all the large and small craters around Yggdrasil before creating thirteen mountains, each thousands of meters tall, around the twenty-kilometer radius surrounding Yggdrasil, forming a natural barrier.
Afterward, he created a gigantic crater around Yggdrasil over five kilometers wide and hundreds of meters deep before filling it with pure water.
Then, using the immense wave of Life energy, he caused trees ranging from less than a meter tall to tens of meters high to rapidly grow throughout the area.
Within a single minute, the apocalyptic battlefield transformed into a paradise on earth filled with snowy mountains, lakes, forests, and flourishing life.
During this entire period, Sagittarius remained completely silent.
Or perhaps it was simply too shocked by Itachi's power.
If you possessed this much power, then why did you create Yggdrasil?
When you fought beside me against Yggdrasil, why did you let yourself get beaten black and blue?
And why, just when I finally trusted you and Yggdrasil was about to lose... did you suddenly end the game?
Itachi ignored Sagittarius's silent questions and finally formed a pitch-black spherical space above the lake beside him.
"Buddy, you might have to spend some time here as punishment for trying to control me. Don't worry, I'll come back soon. Until then, Yggdrasil will keep you company."
Hearing this, Sagittarius entered the black sphere somewhat dejectedly.
Seeing that, Itachi smiled before pushing the black sphere into the lake.
"Yggdrasil, thanks for playing with me."
It had been a long time since he had enjoyed himself this much.
In response, Yggdrasil lowered one of its massive branches and extended a leaf before him.
Seeing this, Itachi stepped onto the leaf, and the next moment he rose ten thousand meters above the land, gazing at the beautiful world below with wonder.
"Itachi, I have a doubt. Did Sagittarius really control you?"
Just then, the illusory form of the Sage of Six Paths appeared and asked Itachi his question.
"...I didn't resist..." Hearing Itachi's answer, the Sage of Six Paths sighed helplessly.
"Then, are you planning to live here? It is indeed a paradise unlike anything else in the ninja world."
"Nahh. What sane person would want to live in the graveyard of hundreds of thousands of people? This is just Sagittarius's sealing ground. Besides, I can create an even bigger and better paradise for the Uchiha Clan."
"Then, I want to discuss somethi—"
Ten Minutes Later
SWOOSHHHH
"BIG BROTHERRRR, WE ARE HEREEEE!!!!"
Sasuke's excited shout rang in Itachi's ears as he saw Nanabi flying toward them.
"Yo, Sasuke. How was your big brother?" Itachi asked with a smile.
"The strongest and coolest! Especially at the end, when you transformed the attacks of Sagittarius and Yggdrasil into that wave of comfortable green energy."
"Hahaha. Then, did you record everything?"
"Yes, though it might not be perfect."
"Good. Everyone, meet him. This is Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, most famously known as the Sage of Six Paths and also the ancestor of the Uchiha Clan.
Uncle Hagoromo, you probably already know everyone here, so there's no need for introductions."
Seeing Haruto still present, Itachi deliberately avoided introducing Obito and the others.
"We greet our ancestor."
After hearing Hagoromo's identity, Fugaku bowed respectfully. Whether in terms of seniority or strength, Hagoromo far surpassed him, so showing respect was only natural.
"Yo, Grandpa Hagoromo. It's our first time meeting in this timeline." Haruto also waved his tiny hands toward Hagoromo with a smile.
"Hello, Ancestor. My name is Uchiha Shisui. It's a pleasure meeting you."
"My name is Hyūga Neji."
"And my name is Uzumaki Naruto, the future strongest ninja in the world!"
Even though Itachi had already said Hagoromo knew everyone, Shisui, Neji, and Naruto still introduced themselves properly. As for Obito, he simply gave a respectful nod.
"Hmm... you are all good children and have bright futures ahead of you,"
Hagoromo replied somewhat awkwardly.
To be honest, he had very little experience with children or parenting.
After all, his own parents had been aliens, so he wasn't exactly skilled at handling kids.
"Old Man Six Paths!" Nanabi also waved its antennae in greeting.
Meanwhile, Kurama inside Naruto merely opened one eye before closing it again.
"Nanabi, Kurama... it's good to meet you again."
After everyone finished introducing themselves, Hagoromo prepared to leave.
"Uncle Hagoromo, wait. I need your help with one thing, I need a soul—Nohara Rin from Konoha."
Just then, Itachi remembered his promise to Obito and stopped Hagoromo.
"Hmm? ...Alright."
Hagoromo agreed easily. After all, he had already handed over ten million souls, so one more hardly mattered.
Obito and Haruto, on the other hand, immediately became excited.
Perhaps today Rin—his wife (mother)—would truly be resurrected today.
Ryōiki Tenkai: Hakua Kyūden
Domain Expansion: White House
Nuwa's Creation
The next moment, Itachi created a female body made of clay. After receiving Rin's soul from Hagoromo, he pushed it into the clay figure.
Then, by infusing it with a small amount of life force and transforming the clay into a real human body, Rin was successfully resurrected.
"Haruto, this resurrection isn't perfect. With this body, she can only live for around ten more years before returning to the Pure Land.
Though most likely, I'll find a way to achieve true resurrection before then. As for your father, I'll resurrect him another day since we still possess his corpse, which will make the process far more stable."
"Okay, thanks, Uncle Itachi. Though I should probably leave now. Mom and Dad are still waiting for me to celebrate New Year. I'll meet Mother next time I come here. Let's go, Celebi."
With that, Haruto and Celebi disappeared into nothingness.
"Itachi... when will she wake up?"
Obito, who had remained silent the entire time, finally spoke.
"Well, probably in a few hours, once the soul and body fully synchronize. Let's head home for now."
"Yesss..."
