The Ōtsutsuki clan, originating from beyond the stars, have always revered strength. Each branch of their clan carries out a vital mission: to harvest chakra fruits. Their method is brutal yet effective—they dispatch Ten Tails to different planets, allowing it to take root and become a Divine Tree that absorbs the world's natural energy, transforming it into chakra fruits.
The clan always operates in pairs: a higher-ranked leader and a subordinate. For example, Momo (Peach) was the master, and Kin (Gold) was the servant. Kin's fate, like others before him, was to be sacrificed—transformed into a chakra fruit when the master required it.
The Ōtsutsuki's appearance is distinct—pale skin with a bluish tint. They possess an immortal physique and can only be neutralized through weakening and sealing.
Sealing is crucial.
Look now—four Planetary Devastations orbit the moon, powerful and imposing. After Shiren, the Sage of Six Paths, and the Great Toad Sage intervened, Momo was ultimately sealed, coinciding with the appearance of a new moon.
Uchiha Madara, long past being considered human, played a key role.
In the Hokage office of Konoha, Kitahara Hitoshi read through Tobirama's latest report. Tobirama compiled the data; Hitoshi had reviewed it earlier.
When Momo tried to consume the chakra fruit formed from Kin, Madara stepped in. He didn't just interfere—he summoned five colossal Susanoo avatars. Their overwhelming presence stunned Momo and forced him to retreat.
Before this clash, Madara had exited his Six Paths mode, allowing Ten Tails to launch a wave of chakra absorption aimed directly at Momo.
Despite being an old man restored to youth, Madara's vengeance burned strong. After Momo drained some of his chakra during their last encounter, Madara retaliated by using Ten Tails to absorb Momo's chakra in return.
The chakra fruit from Kin was intercepted and preserved. This was the key moment in Madara's decisive confrontation with Momo. After the battle, Hitoshi brought Tobirama back to Konoha.
Now it's Day 757, the following day.
Children and Grandchildren Chat Group
Big Pillar Hanhan: As expected of Madara.
Big Pillar Hanhan: Looks like he was holding back last time.
Tobirama's Record: As expected of my brother.
Senju Tobirama: He could only pull that off after absorbing Ten Tails. Without it, he'd still be stuck near the tomb border prison. No chakra, no Susanoo.
Sage of Six Paths - You Have No Heart: That means with enough chakra, Madara could keep producing gigantic Susanoo avatars here.
Unfilial Son Hamura: Big Brother, Madara's complete Susanoo form is as large as what we once needed two people to support. Yet he can create five of them.
Unfilial Son Hamura: If we gave him more chakra…
Kurama: What terrifying things are you suggesting?
Big Pillar Hanhan: What are you trying to say, Little Nine Tails? Ah—I get it now.
Big Pillar Hanhan: The tailed beasts are chakra aggregates. If we gathered all of them, Madara might be able to summon even more Susanoo avatars.
Tobirama's Record: As expected of my brother.
One Tail Shukaku: ...
Shukaku suddenly felt like a sign reading "Dangerous" was about to appear over his head. This group chat was terrifying—tailed beasts were discussed like tools of war.
Kurama, the Nine Tails, kept quiet. Based on what he'd seen from Madara as a Ten Tails Jinchūriki, things weren't looking good for the tailed beasts.
And the Ōtsutsuki? No one knew how many of them still lurked beyond the stars.
That's the heart of the crisis.
The outer clans of Ōtsutsuki sought the tailed beasts, while the Sage of Six Paths' descendants and their generation resisted them. Resistance often took the form of combat.
Ironically, the main sacrifices were the tailed beasts, whose chakra was sought for power.
Thus a cruel world emerged—where only tailed beasts suffered.
"Speaking of which…" Tobirama began. "There have been some troubling rumors in the village the past few days."
After submitting the intel, Tobirama felt more composed. Initially, Shiren and the appearance of Momo and Kin left him uneasy. But now, after seeing Madara beat Momo like a ragdoll using raw chakra, he could breathe again.
It showed the Ōtsutsuki were not invincible.
Even more encouraging, while writing his observer's report, Tobirama noted how Kitahara Hitoshi didn't even view Momo as a threat. That meant Hitoshi's current strength had far surpassed Momo's.
If that was the case, then maybe this "big" problem... wasn't really a problem at all.
So now the focus must return to the village.
But the villagers don't even understand what kind of people they're dealing with. After all, Shiren appeared at the Hyuga household for just one night, and then was taken by Kitahara Hitoshi's Planetary Devastation technique.
Lately, the most talked-about subject in the village has been the moon at night, which keeps multiplying.
Originally there was only one moon, but in the last two days, a second, third, and fourth moon have appeared.
Is that even reasonable?
Even in the middle of the night, the sky is blindingly bright. If not for their drowsiness, the villagers wouldn't even believe night had come.
The villagers are worried the end of the world is coming.
The day before yesterday, the sky went completely dark for over a minute.
Tobirama spoke these words. He knew the truth because of his position in the small group and his proximity to Kitahara Hitoshi.
The moons are all Planetary Devastation constructs, appearing one after another. From Shiren to the Sage of Six Paths, from the Great Toad Sage to Otsutsuki Toshi, each is a result of powerful forces at work.
As for the darkness lasting over a minute two days ago, that marked the Sage of Six Paths' arrival. The light was drawn into him at that moment.
This was the high-profile appearance of the ancestor of the ninja world.
Those who know the truth can't easily speak about it to ordinary ninjas. It would only cause unrest.
It's simple, Kitahara Hitoshi said. Just control how the villagers talk. Some things don't need to be said. They just need to stay quiet. Isn't the Third Hokage handling this well?
Tobirama repeated the name.
Is the Third Generation really doing a good job?
Yes, while he strictly guarded Naruto's identity, the whole village still knew he was the Nine Tails Jinchuriki. And then he was ostracized for it.
Tobirama went silent. Maybe the man deserves criticism.
Damn Sarutobi.
You were supposed to build a village that nurtures the next generation, but instead you let the villagers' gossip run wild. It wasn't just Naruto. Kakashi's father, too, was crushed by public opinion and committed suicide.
Tobirama still feels ashamed even mentioning Kakashi's father in front of him.
Though his case was later overturned, the damage was already done. It cast a deep shadow over Kakashi's family.
So this guy Sarutobi really failed to manage the village.
Didn't he always say that protecting the village means protecting the people who believe in it?
But in practice, Sarutobi only ever took a conservative approach. No bold reforms, no real progress.
So Konoha ended up like this. Now Tobirama, the teacher, has to step in and fix it. Be the one to carry the burden.
Once again, Tobirama felt cursed.
I'll shut those people up, he said. One more thing. Jiraiya.
He had called Jiraiya back to Konoha through the small group, hoping he could still teach with his remaining energy.
But Kitahara Hitoshi had issued a command that morning, assigning Jiraiya a special mission — to train Naruto.
Naruto has three months to learn Sage Mode.
In the group, Tobirama had confirmed with both Jiraiya and Minato.
Minato was a genius, and even he took over three months to master Sage Mode.
Jiraiya, despite training most of his life, still hadn't reached Minato's level.
Now Kitahara Hitoshi expected Naruto to learn it in three months.
Jiraiya nearly coughed up blood.
Don't you believe in Naruto? Kitahara Hitoshi asked. And Naruto isn't who he used to be.
Tobirama fell silent again.
Yes, Naruto and Sasuke had inherited the Sage of Six Paths' soul power. They were no longer ordinary shinobi.
Speaking of which, Tobirama added quickly, Uchiha Sasuke has been gone since morning. He's moving.
He couldn't just say Sasuke was "wandering." The truth was, Tobirama had a headache over it.
Sasuke, having obtained power, hadn't settled down. After completing the mission with Naruto involving the Uzumaki clan's tome, he became restless.
He wanted to leave the village and find Uchiha Itachi for revenge.
According to him, he was strong enough now. If he didn't take revenge, he'd be letting his family down.
Sasuke, the last Uchiha orphan, wanted revenge on his older brother who had destroyed their clan.
It looked reasonable on the surface, but Tobirama had questioned his foolish students.
He knew it was the Third Hokage's failure to resolve the Uchiha clan problem that led to Itachi handling it himself.
Itachi's solution was to wipe out the clan — remove the Uchiha, remove the problem.
This was the logic of a Uchiha genius.
A truly maddening idea.
Though Itachi's methods were brutal, he was devoted to Konoha. He endured humiliation, choosing the village over his family.
Now he had to live in exile, branded a traitor.
Tobirama was shocked to realize that the Uchiha could produce such a ninja. He had underestimated them.
So was Sasuke really going to kill such a brother?
Tobirama didn't want to see them fight, but he couldn't reveal the truth to Sasuke either.
Sasuke was powerful, but still young. If he learned the truth, he might destroy the village out of rage.
Even if Tobirama didn't think Sasuke could actually destroy Konoha, he didn't want chaos among the ninjas.
Let him go, Kitahara Hitoshi said. He has strength, and he should experience the world. His brother will guide him. And once he takes a few beatings, he'll understand that coming back to the village is the better path.
Tobirama nodded.
Alright. I'll go inform him.
Eh?
Tobirama was stunned just as he turned to leave.
Sasuke is activating Indra's chakra. And now... will he lose?
He's up against Uchiha Itachi after all, said Kitahara Hitoshi. A man who can fight outside of Susanoo.
The small group was still processing Kitahara Hitoshi's words when a new notification popped up in the system.
Welcome Uchiha Shisui to the younger generation chat group
Uchiha Shisui, congratulations on earning the title of Instant Shisui
Congratulations Uchiha Shisui, your clan's issue was resolved by Itachi
Uchiha Shisui: ?
Uchiha Shisui: I heard Itachi can fight outside Susanoo

Uchiha Shisui: Itachi didn't let me down. He solved the Uchiha problem
Uchiha Shisui: By the way, I can also open Susanoo — one eye is enough
Uchiha Shisui: Itachi has destroyed the Uchiha clan
Uchiha Shisui: !?
Uchiha Shisui: Wait a minute? I entrusted the hope of our clan to Itachi and... the Uchiha clan was destroyed?

This was truly embarrassing.
