Land of Earth, Rock Severing Mountain Range.
The rolling mountain range stretched across the land like a giant dragon, endlessly winding and twisting.
Countless peaks, sharp and straight as swords, soared into the clouds.
Such magnificent scenery would make anyone feel incredibly small in comparison.
However, at this moment, the two individuals who suddenly appeared here seemed to attract the attention of the entire world. Even the mightiest of mountains could only bow before them.
"Why has the Heavenly Commandment of Space disappeared?"
A familiar voice of Kaguya echoed across the mountain range, cold and indifferent.
Another equally cold voice, identical to hers, spoke with a hint of wariness:
"It's Hagoromo Gensou's Heavenly Commandment of Fate!"
"Oh? The one you mentioned before?"
"Yes."
"I'm curious. What kind of person could make you—no, make 'me'—so cautious?"
"He's here. See for yourself."
As the last words fell, a black portal opened in the midst of the Rock Severing Mountain Range.
A foot stepped out first.
Treading upon the void, the man known as Hagoromo Gensou emerged from the other side.
"We meet again, Kaguya."
Gensou's gaze first landed on the closest Kaguya.
Then, his attention shifted to another figure.
A trace of surprise appeared on Gensou's face.
He looked at the man and slowly spoke, "Uchiha Madara."
Standing directly across from Kaguya, the man who had been fighting her all this time was indeed Uchiha Madara.
Gensou noticed the Six Paths chakra within Madara's body, which even surpassed the combined amount within Naruto and Toneri, and his eyes revealed an understanding.
According to this world's timeline, Uchiha Madara hadn't died. Instead, he had been secretly working on his successor and the future Moon's Eye Plan.
As expected, the Sage of Six Paths must have found him and revealed the truth behind the Moon's Eye Plan.
Thus, the current scene of Uchiha Madara, the reincarnation of Indra, joining forces with the Sage of Six Paths to battle against Kaguya occurred.
Correction.
They weren't just joining forces with one Sage of Six Paths.
In Gensou's perception, the Six Paths chakra within Uchiha Madara's body was composed of two parts. One part was whole and belonged to this world's Sage of Six Paths.
The other part was relatively smaller. It belonged to the original world's Sage of Six Paths, who had previously returned part of his chakra to his mother, while the remaining part was held by Gensou and later escaped during his journey through time and space.
And it wasn't just the Sage of Six Paths.
Kaguya had also fused.
Standing before Gensou now was a merged form of two Kaguyas.
The stronger one was the Kaguya of the original world, who possessed the Ten-Tails and had absorbed some of the planet's chakra.
In contrast, this world's Kaguya was the most basic version, who apparently hadn't had time to do much before being dragged into the ongoing battle.
"I can see that while I was away, you all had quite the lively battle."
After surveying the scene, Gensou greeted them with a smile.
"So, you are Hagoromo Gensou?"
With the empowerment of Six Paths chakra, Madara had reached the Six Paths level and regained his youthful form. Standing with his arms crossed, he examined Gensou from head to toe and said:
"I heard that in your world, you, me, and Hashirama were all famous during the Warring States Era? Yet I supposedly lost to you in every aspect, even the Rinnegan ended up in your possession? Hmph!"
Madara snorted, ending his examination of Gensou before meeting his eyes directly and declaring:
"That version of me was nothing but trash, unworthy of being called Uchiha Madara. I was even disappointed to hear there was no one named Hagoromo Gensou in this world."
"But since you've appeared, good! I will show you what the real Uchiha Madara is!"
As expected, no matter which world, Uchiha Madara was always overflowing with arrogance.
To this, Gensou calmly replied:
"The Madara of that world didn't have the Sage of Six Paths guiding him."
Madara's expression turned icy.
Gensou remained indifferent.
Although Madara's appearance was a surprise, the situation was still well within his control.
For beings at the Six Paths level, one plus one never equaled two.
"So, are you prepared to die?"
It was as if time had rewound to the desert of the original world. Gensou extended his hands from his sleeves and asked the two of them his final question.
"I'll return those words to you unchanged!"
Madara's right foot stomped down on the void.
Before Gensou could make a move, Madara had already launched his attack.
Limbo: Border Jail!
Four shadows instantly appeared beside Madara.
After fully ascending to the true Six Paths level, the shadows created through Limbo still retained the flaw of being detectable by the Rinnegan, but their individual strength had become equivalent to the original body.
It was as if five Uchiha Madaras attacked at once.
Having already been briefed by the Sage of Six Paths about Gensou's abilities, Madara's combat experience, far more refined than Kaguya's or the Sage's, led him to decisively make the first move.
The Heavenly Commandment of Fate was still being activated, and the Deity Gates of the Great Sun had no effect against physical attacks.
If he didn't act now, then when?
At the same time, Kaguya, fully aware of Gensou's power, turned her focus towards him. She abandoned her previous conflict with Madara and joined forces to launch an assault on Gensou.
Gensou looked at the familiar scene of the two attacking from the left and right, and his lips curled into a smile:
"Then... bring it on!"
BOOM!
It was as if the heavens had collapsed.
The clash between the most powerful beings from two worlds had officially begun.
The earth trembled, countless peaks crumbled.
Animals living within the mountain range fled desperately, forming a massive beast tide as they scrambled to escape.
Among them, Han, the Jinchuriki of the Five-Tails who had been training in the mountain range, was blown far away along with the newly freed Five-Tails by the shockwave.
After tumbling several times, Han and the Five-Tails barely managed to stabilize themselves.
The terrified Five-Tails did not attack Han but instead offered him some of its chakra to aid them both in facing the looming threat.
"Damn it! What the hell is happening?"
Everything had happened so fast that Han, completely bewildered, looked back. But the violent shockwaves struck again.
"What the..."
Han vaguely saw figures fighting, but before he could fully process the scene, he and the Five-Tails were once again blasted away like cannonballs.
Once he got back up, he dared not remain where he was.
Facing such enemies was meaningless.
Just like the beasts around him, Han and the Five-Tails fled with all their might.
"This is too terrifying! Human power can actually reach such heights!"
Han had never imagined a day when, as a Jinchuriki, he wouldn't even qualify to observe the battle.
As the surrounding mountains continued to collapse, Han pushed himself to his limits, running madly towards the outside.
"I must! I must report this to the Third Tsuchikage!"
Han was not alone.
People living near the mountain range in the Land of Earth felt the violent tremors and even witnessed entire mountain peaks collapsing.
Ordinary people thought the gods were angry.
Meanwhile, the passing Iwa-nin felt the overwhelming chakra and turned pale as they hurriedly rushed back to the village to report.
It wouldn't be long before what had occurred at the Rock Severing Mountain Range would become known throughout Iwagakure and the entire ninja world.
