A few days later,
The five nations of Shinobi gathered together, and a lot of white Zetsu were released by Obito and Kabuto to confront the Shinobi alliance. The fourth ninja world war began.
Aoi is sitting above the head of the Gedo statue; its nine eyes are closed.
Slowly, it's withering, and cracks are widening and spreading through it's whole body as if dry wood's.
Thud! Thud!! Thud!!!
Slowly, the dry sections of the statue started falling to the ground; soon, the whole statue turned into simple wood pieces.
Aoi opened his eyes, and instantly nine terms started rotating in his rinnegan. A heavy aura and pupil suppression spread around, covering a few hundred miles.
"Well, finally, nine terms." Aoi raised his hand with a water mirror, looking at his gray pupil with rings and nine dark terms.
"Huh, there is a fourth ring in my pupil also; I think the twelve terms are the limit of a rinnegan, but from where can I get such high-level energy that will upgrade my rinnegan to the twelve terms?" Aoi muttered thoughtfully,
After thinking for a while, Aoi eyes lit up, recalling the dragon veins in the roran, where he can find infinite ancient energy.
'It will definitely help me upgrade to the twelve terms, and I think soon I will awaken the Ōtsutsuki clan genes and awaken the Tenseigan,' Aoi thought to himself, feeling the ancient atmosphere permeating in his body and also looking at his human form, which is maintained despite absorbing ten tails along with all tail beast chakra.
"My human form is maintained because of Absorber; it can devour anything and complement me without any negative reaction. Probably, even awakening the Tenseigan and Ōtsutsuki genes may not change my appearance." Aoi muttered, then shook his head. He likes human form more than Ōtsutsuki clan form.
…
A few days later,
Obito and the reanimated Zetsu army are colliding with the Ninja Alliance.
Naruto, after controlling the nine-tails chakra, sensed the war outside and decided to join. He then pushed through the blockage and spread through the battlefield along with B.
On the other side,
Aoi appeared in the city of Noran after sensing the dragon vein sealed in the deep underground layer.
Aoi passed through the special paths and reached the sealing area. After signing the unsealing signs, the ground instantly lit up in a square formation.
Aoi raised his brow and felt intense chakra pressure. From the ground, an ancient atmosphere permeated.
Aoi then stood up and walked toward the middle of the formation, sat cross-legged, activated his rinnegan ability,
Absorber!!!
Instantly, the dragon vein energy gathered toward his body and eyes.
'It will take a while to dry up this dragon vein.' Aoi thought, then closed his eyes and started digesting the energy.
Meanwhile, as the battlefield became more intense, the previous kages and even the Uchiha Madara were summoned to collide with the current five kages.
Naruto clones also spread and reached every corner of the battlefield, starting to collide with Obito, Madara, and Kabuto.
…
A few days passed.
Above the sealing ground, Aoi opened his eyelid, revealing his rinnegan. Instantaneously, two more terms appeared in his rinnegan rings; he now has eleven terms in his pupils, just one term away from the assumed limit.
"My abilities also merged and changed, more like it's an upgrade from previous ability," Aoi muttered, sensing the recall and jump ability is merged with temporal ability.
Temporal: spiritually or physically travel through the past and future; control and travel through time and space dimensions.
Devourer: Devour everything.
"Well, it's more convenient than before; now I can even travel through time physically, and it's not like the parallel time and space in the anime; it's the same dimension I have been residing in." Aoi muttered thoughtfully,
Aoi then raised his head and sensed the outside situation of the war. Looking at the ninja alliance reduced to almost nothing, the Obito and Madara Uchiha are fighting against the Naruto, Sasuke, and the ninja alliance.
"Why are they fighting? It seems they don't know that I have already absorbed the Gedo statue and the remaining tail beasts." Aoi muttered playfully.
Aoi then sensed something, instantly turned, and glanced at the old man sitting in the void with truth-seeking balls and a dress made from chakra.
"Sage of the six paths." Aoi said calmly,
"Strange, you seem to be my descendant, but your bloodline is stronger than mine." Sage of the Six Path muttered confusedly,
Aoi glanced at him calmly, then said, "Do you need anything?"
"Basically, I wanted you to stop absorbing the ancient dragon vein; I used it to suppress my mother in another dimension using the yin and yang seal, but now I changed my mind," the Sage of the Six Path said, then fell silent. After a while, he added,
"I want you to stop her; without the ancient dragon vein, the moon will fall on this world and my mother will be released." Sage of the Six Path then glanced at him solemnly.
Aoi's brow furrowed upon hearing his words, his expression becoming thoughtful. 'What the dragon vein has to do with the Kaguya and moon is that it's just one of the veins in this world that regulates the natural energy around them.'
Then he raised his head and glanced at the calm and steady expression on the sage's six-path face.
'He probably wants to use me to fight against Kaguya, and one of us perishes.' Aoi thought, then felt something falling from the atmosphere toward the planet.
On the other hand, a dark shadow covered the whole world. Everyone on the battlefield halted, looking at the sky, including Madara and Obito.
Seeing the moon expanding in their vision and falling toward them, their faces changed.
"Is this the end?" One of the ninjas muttered,
"It's God's punishment." Another ninja muttered; their weapons fell to the ground; some even sat down in despair.
Madara's brow also furrowed. Looking at the moon fall, a bad premonition spread through his heart.
"It seems our plan really failed; I can't create an ideal world with Rin," Obito muttered, standing beside him and looking at the sky in a daze.
