Jiraiya:
"Th-this… what kind of genjutsu is this?"
Kakashi Hatake:
"I'm not sure. But the fact that it can control people across the entire shinobi world… it resembles what Nagi mentioned before—Infinite Tsukuyomi."
Madara Uchiha:
"It does resemble it. And the symbol on the moon clearly looks like a Sharingan pattern. It's most likely a technique of the Uchiha Clan."
Izuna Uchiha:
"That pattern… and this genjutsu… I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."
Tobirama Senju:
"This… could it be Imprinted Tsukuyomi?"
(Since the manga and anime never covered the story of Uchiha Hikari, Tobirama and Nagi don't know that part of the history.)
Hashirama Senju:
"Imprinted Tsukuyomi? Tobirama, you know about it?"
Izuna Uchiha:
"Imprinted Tsukuyomi? I remember now! Brother—it's Yachimata!"
Madara Uchiha:
"Yachimata… Hikari… I see. The people in that world are about to face serious trouble."
Ōnoki:
"Lord Madara, what exactly is happening?"
Madara Uchiha:
"Keep watching. Even if this genjutsu is broken, as long as the marks remain…"
Tobirama Senju:
"…then the crisis for that world's people will not be over."
The Screen Continues…
After the moonlight disappeared, Eida also removed the protective barrier.
At that moment, everyone heard loud commotion outside the house. When they stepped out, they saw many villagers acting strangely.
From the projection, Ai explained:
"According to the data sent by my teacher and Second Brother, the strange moonlight genjutsu earlier is called Imprinted Tsukuyomi."
"This technique projects the user's dōjutsu power onto the moon. Anyone illuminated by its light will receive a mark on the back of their hand."
"Even if you're indoors or not looking at the moon directly, the mark will still appear."
"And once marked, the user can erase or alter that person's memories."
"But fortunately this time, Eida went with you."
"So I'll leave it to you—my future sister-in-law."
"Hehehe, leave it to me!"
Hearing Ai call her that, Eida instantly became motivated.
"Shinjutsu: Omnipotence — Memory Recall!"
"Omnipotence — Erasure!"
Eida's eyes glowed as terrifying purple chakra burst from her body.
The purple light shot straight into the sky before suddenly spreading outward.
Within moments, the light covered the entire shinobi world.
Everyone touched by the purple glow gradually regained their senses, and the marks on their hands slowly began to fade.
Hokage Office
Minato Namikaze looked around in confusion.
"Strange… why am I standing here?"
Back at Nagi's group—
"Nice work," Nagi said.
"It was nothing. By the way, that guy's name is Meruzuna, right?" Eida asked.
"That's right."
Eida nodded.
"Senrigan — Search."
Her eyes shifted into their galaxy-blue ring pattern.
After a moment, she spoke.
"Found him. He's in Amegakure."
She then used her necklace to project the scene onto the wall.
On the screen—
The Akatsuki were confronting a man with a prosthetic left eye.
That man was Meruzuna.
But his expression looked confused.
"What's going on? Everyone's memories returned… but fortunately the marks didn't disappear immediately."
He raised his right hand.
"Yachimata."
Suddenly—
Blue chakra began rising from the bodies of the Akatsuki members, flowing toward Meruzuna's raised hand.
At the same time, across the entire shinobi world, countless people experienced the same phenomenon.
An overwhelming torrent of chakra surged toward Meruzuna.
But after a while, it stopped.
Meruzuna flexed his hand and clicked his tongue.
"Tsk. Only managed to collect part of it, huh? But that's enough."
"I'll gather the rest later."
Meanwhile — Watching the Screen
Madara Uchiha:
"As expected, it's Yachimata. But that man clearly isn't from the Uchiha Clan… yet he can use Hikari's ability."
Ōnoki:
"Hikari?"
Tobirama Senju:
"Yes. Uchiha Hikari lived even earlier than our era—during the Warring States Period."
"Her Mangekyō Sharingan ability was called Yachimata."
"As long as someone bears her mark, she can connect to them regardless of distance and freely manipulate their mind and chakra."
"Because this ability was so terrifying, the Uchiha Clan treated her as a 'weapon,' raising her solely to strengthen their dōjutsu."
"In the end, our ancestors—the Senju Clan and the Sarutobi Clan—joined forces to seal her."
Minato Namikaze:
"Wait… I remember Ai saying her second brother Mai was investigating someone named Hikari."
"Could that be the same Uchiha Hikari?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi:
"That's possible."
"Yachimata… Hikari… Imprinted Tsukuyomi."
"It seems this Meruzuna must have a close connection with her."
Hashirama Senju:
"So Hikari is still alive?"
Mito Uzumaki:
"And the seal has been broken as well."
The Screen Continues…
Nagi spoke:
"When I escorted Deidara earlier, I left behind a Flying Thunder God mark."
"Let's go."
"Alright." ×N
Amegakure
Nagato looked seriously at the man before him.
"Who exactly are you?"
Meruzuna sneered.
"Pain—no, Nagato."
"In the past, I admired you greatly."
"But now you've fallen."
"Hmph. But it doesn't matter."
"I will become the new god of this world."
Nagato replied calmly:
"Stop talking nonsense."
Meruzuna burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Right now, I'm the strongest in the shinobi world!"
"Susanoo!"
A massive dark-red Susanoo appeared around him.
It resembled a Complete Body Susanoo, though it seemed somewhat incomplete.
The Akatsuki members were shocked.
"Is that… Susanoo?!"
"That's on a completely different level from Fugaku Uchiha's!"
At that moment—
Nagi and his group had just arrived near Amegakure.
They also noticed the enormous Susanoo.
"Is that the Complete Body? Doesn't quite look like it…"
Nagi analyzed from afar.
Battle Begins
"BOOM!!!"
The Akatsuki had already begun attacking.
"Earth Grudge Fear: Final Shot!"
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand World Method!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!"
"Dance of the Shikigami!"
Their combined attacks slammed into the Susanoo—
But it barely left a scratch.
"It's that durable!?"
Meruzuna controlled the Susanoo and swung a massive blade.
With a single strike—
Amegakure was split in half.
The shockwave from the swing blasted the Akatsuki members away.
After stabilizing themselves, they looked at the ruined remains of Amegakure.
Their expressions were grim.
Konan spoke to them:
"Everyone… I still have one technique left—Paper Person of God Technique. We—"
The Akatsuki quickly understood the plan.
They began launching coordinated harassment attacks, drawing Meruzuna toward a predetermined location.
Nagato continuously bombarded him with powerful combined ninjutsu using his immense chakra.
Through their teamwork, they eventually lured Meruzuna to the trap.
Konan was just about to activate her technique—
When suddenly—
BOOOOOM!!!
A deafening explosion echoed across the sky.
"Hm? What was that?"
"I don't know… but it suddenly feels hot."
"Wait… the rain stopped!"
"And…"
Everyone looked up.
The eternal rain of Amegakure had ceased, and the sky had become bright.
That alone was shocking.
But when they saw what was above them—
They were completely stunned.
In the sky floated a colossal fireball thousands of meters in diameter.
It burned like a second sun, dispersing all the storm clouds above Amegakure.
It was as if—
The sun itself had descended upon the earth.
