As the violet energy sphere hurtled toward them, Mai moved first.
"Nadeshiko Style: Kūra Falls, Reflecting Rosy Clouds!"
Countless cherry blossoms converged, forming a massive Kūra bloom. At its center, the pistil gathered energy before releasing a brilliant pink radiance.
The pink light collided head-on with the violet sphere.
At that very moment—
Kū drew his blade.
"Thunderblade Art: North — Heaven and Earth Severed to Silence!"
He focused his sword intent completely, mind and blade united.
One swing.
A single stroke—cleaving all in two.
A streak of blue light flashed across the sky.
The pink glow dissipated.
The violet energy sphere—
And Urashiki himself—
Were split cleanly in half.
People across Konohaga Kūre looked up in shock.
"W-What was that?!"
"You've got to be kidding!"
"I must be dreaming!"
Even Tsunade stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Nagi and Jiraiya gazed upward, stunned. Naruto blinked repeatedly.
"Hey, Pervy Sage… Nagi… What was that? That's not real, right?"
Above them—
The sky itself had been cleaved in two.
The atmosphere seemed split apart, revealing the vast starry void beyond.
Across the Land of Fire—and even neighboring nations—people looked up at the spectacle.
"Is this… the power of a god?"
In the viewing space, silence fell once more.
Onoki sighed.
"…I'm speechless."
Rasa let out a dry laugh.
"With aftershocks like that, we'd have died countless times over."
The Fourth Raikage frowned.
"At that range… there's nowhere to run."
Jiraiya muttered,
"If that slash had struck the ground… what would've happened?"
No one dared imagine it.
Urashiki's body, split in two, began to fall—
Mai quickly threw out a capsule.
It expanded instantly, swallowing the corpse whole before shrinking back into his hand.
"That should prevent him from using a Kāma. Mission complete. Let's bring this back to Uncle Orochimaru."
The two released their Bankai forms, returning to normal.
Nagi teleported to their side.
Just as he opened his mouth—
"Father, we can talk later. Let's restore everything first."
"…Alright."
Mai took out another capsule. After enlarging it, he retrieved a palm-sized crimson crystal sphere.
"Rinne Rebirth: Izanagi."
The crystal radiated dazzling red light.
A beam shot into the sky and spread outward across the horizon.
When the glow faded—
Cracked earth sealed itself.
Uprooted trees regrew instantly.
The torn sky stitched itself back together.
Those who had been blown away—injured or killed—rose as though nothing had happened.
Collapsed buildings in Konohaga Kūre were restored.
The wounded and the dead alike returned, fully healed.
Panic erupted among bystanders.
"What just happened?!"
Even Tsunade was momentarily at a loss.
Throughout the Shinobi World, disbelief spread like wildfire.
Hiruzen gasped.
"Such a miraculous ninjutsu…"
Onoki couldn't help himself.
"I said I wouldn't comment, but—astonishing!"
Fuga Kū narrowed his eyes.
"…Izanagi?"
Tsunade frowned.
"Is that Medical Ninjutsu?"
Orochimaru's gaze sharpened.
"Is it truly ninjutsu… or something beyond it?"
Everyone knew—
Destruction was easy.
Restoration was not.
They had already grown numb to Six Paths–level devastation.
But this overwhelming restorative power shattered their understanding once more.
Madara , Obito, and Nagato felt as though the ground had vanished beneath them.
They knew the Outer Path — Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique could revive the dead.
They knew Izanagi could rewrite unfavorable reality as illusion.
But this—
This scale was absurd.
Nagi studied the restored surroundings in silence.
"A temporal regression formula…?"
Mai spoke gently.
"Father, next we must erase all memories and objects related to us. In this world, only you will remember our existence."
Nagi understood immediately.
It was time.
He nodded.
Kū produced another capsule. After opening it, he retrieved a pink, heart-shaped crystal pendant.
Nagi did not question it.
Mai, however, slightly narrowed his eyes.
Kū infused chakra into the pendant.
"Omnipotence — Memory Erasure."
The pendant emitted a surge of violet light.
The radiance expanded skyward, rapidly enveloping the entire Shinobi World.
In Konohaga Kūre—
Kūra blinked in confusion.
"Huh? Why am I standing here?"
Villagers looked around, disoriented.
Across the world—
All memory of Kū and Mai vanished.
The tremors.
The split sky.
All forgotten.
Madara 's expression darkened.
"…Aside from Infinite Tsu Kūyomi, such a genjutsu exists?"
Onoki swallowed.
"Instant global memory removal… That's terrifying."
Tsunade shuddered.
"What if someone forgot their own family?"
Jiraiya sighed.
"Another frightening ability…"
When everything was complete—
Mai slowly took out Karasuki, the time-traveling turtle.
He spoke softly.
"Father… Even though our time together was short, Kū and I were very happy."
Kū nodded.
"Yes. Being with you felt warm… and safe."
"We'll listen to Father in our era. We won't cause trouble. We hope you meet Mother soon.
"And please… please…"
Their voices faltered.
Though separated by time, this was still their father.
White light began to shimmer around them.
Nagi felt the same ache he once felt when parting from his teacher.
But he forced a smile.
" Kū. Mai.
"You were magnificent. Truly worthy of being my children.
"When you return, be obedient. Eat properly. Sleep on time.
"If you're tired from studying or training, rest. Don't push yourselves too hard. Your health matters most.
"And no matter what—I will never allow you to disappear from this era. You have my word."
The white light intensified.
"Goodbye, Dad! Please take care!" x2
"…Goodbye."
With a final flash—
They vanished.
After a long moment—
Nagi exhaled softly.
"…Sigh."
Grief flickered in his eyes.
[Black Screen Scene]
Kū and Mai reappeared in their own era.
Both kept their heads lowered.
After a while, Kū recovered first.
"Let's go. Father is waiting for our report."
"…Yeah."
As they walked—
Mai tried to lighten the mood.
"Hey, Brother… Be honest. What did you trade for Eida to inject so much Omnipotence chakra into that pendant?"
Kū remained expressionless.
"I just explained our mission. She offered the pendant to help."
"Really~?"
Mai smirked slyly.
"Then why were your lips swollen when you came back that day?"
Kū froze.
"That's impossible. I clearly already—…Wait."
Mai gasped dramatically.
"Oh? I was just guessing—and I was right? So? How far did things go?"
