I've Already Confronted the Five Kage, and the System Just Arrived!-Chapter 335 - 336

The oppressive force covering a hundred-mile radius had dissipated, and the distant sandstorm gradually settled.

Bathed in the glow of the normal moonlight, Gensou, clad in a white Six Paths robe, gazed at his now transcendent hands. As he clenched them, feeling the vast difference in power from before, the corners of his mouth first curled up slightly, then lifted higher, until he could no longer contain himself and burst into wild laughter:

"Hahahahaha!"

From the moment he first came into contact with chakra, he had survived the blood-soaked Warring States era, perished at the Valley of the Fallen Gods, found new hope decades later during the Chunin Exams, and then lived a second life—continuing to explore the path of chakra, taking control of Akatsuki, waging the Shinobi World War, and casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

At last!

By seizing the planet's chakra, he had completed himself, achieving the Kekkei Sōmō and true Six Paths-level power!

From the late Warring States period to the shinobi village era, spanning nearly eighty years...

Finally!

Here! Now!

Gensou had realized his lifelong pursuit—the goal he was willing to sacrifice everything for.

He had officially transcended!

If he so wished, whether in this life or the previous, the immortality sought by countless heroes and legends was no longer beyond his grasp.

Even this very planet beneath him would soon belong to him.

Of course, the prerequisite was dealing with its former owner.

Gensou turned his head, and his Rinnegan, as if spanning a million miles, locked onto the ongoing Six Paths-level battle.

Naruto was still giving his all.

Even without Gensou cheering him on, facing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki—the goddess of old who had become a demon in the eyes of all—he would still fight with everything he had for the sake of the shinobi world.

However, he couldn't easily subdue her.

Though Kaguya was not at her peak, she still housed the Ten-Tails within her, and having absorbed a portion of the planet's chakra earlier, she remained no weaker than a standard Six Paths-level being.

For someone like Naruto, who had forcefully attained the Six Paths-level, facing her alone was simply too much.

"Mother, we cannot afford to be delayed here by Naruto," Black Zetsu reminded her from within her sleeve.

Gensou had already been gone for a while.

"I know," Kaguya responded, her expression indifferent as she surveyed the overwhelming army of Naruto's shadow clones charging at her.

Black Zetsu immediately understood.

Knowing was one thing, acting was another.

Compared to Kaguya, who had been secluded for a thousand years, his knowledge and experience far surpassed hers. He quickly offered a suggestion:

"Mother, use the people below to draw Naruto away. Asura's reincarnation has always been fond of others."

Kaguya nodded in agreement.

She lowered her gaze to the people who had just awakened from the Infinite Tsukuyomi—bewildered, weak, and struggling to grasp their situation. The long, blue-white strands of her hair spread out like a peacock's tail.

In the next instant—

A rainstorm of razor-sharp needles descended upon the land.

The shrill sound of them tearing through the air jolted the stunned shinobi below.

Tsunade's vacant gaze slowly regained focus.

She had just seen Nawaki, Dan, her grandfather, and the entire Senju clan.

She had been gambling, winning fortune after fortune.

No wars, no bloodshed—everything had been so peaceful.

That world... she had wished to stay in it forever.

But then, she had suddenly opened her eyes, and the scene before her was a battlefield—a demoralized, battered army of shinobi barely clinging on.

So, it was all an illusion...

A glint of reluctance flashed through Tsunade's eyes.

Though the Infinite Tsukuyomi had lasted only moments in reality, for those trapped inside, it had felt like an eternity.

If only that dream could have been real...

Many others shared her sentiment at that moment.

But reality soon brought them back to their senses—violently.

The needle barrage rained down like a storm.

Hearing the sound, Tsunade's head snapped up, her pupils shrinking.

"Look out!!"

She shouted in warning, simultaneously gathering her chakra.

But—

"Why is my chakra so low?!" Tsunade was shocked.

The same realization struck everyone on the battlefield.

"My chakra!!"

"What's happening?!"

"I can't use any jutsu—there's not enough chakra!"

"Damn it!"

With no means to defend themselves, they could only brace for death as the needle storm descended—

Until golden figures flashed into existence.

Some intercepted the needles with their fists, others shielded the helpless with their own bodies, forming a protective wall.

"Naruto?!"

Tsunade lifted her head, recognizing that unmistakable figure.

"Naruto!!!"

Sakura, Hinata, and Lee shouted his name in excitement.

"Naruto... welcome back!!"

From another part of the battlefield, Kakashi looked up at the golden-haired shinobi, his heart heavy with emotion.

"Leave this to me!"

The sky was filled with tens of thousands of Naruto's shadow clones, shielding his comrades as he called back to them, ensuring their safety before focusing entirely on Kaguya's onslaught.

Just as Black Zetsu had predicted, Naruto could never stand idly by while innocent people perished before his eyes—whether he knew them or not.

Seizing the moment while Naruto was preoccupied—

A black portal opened before Kaguya.

She immediately stepped through.

...

Some time later—Wind Country, Desert

Gensou sensed something and withdrew his gaze as a small, bowl-sized black portal appeared before him.

It rapidly expanded, growing larger until a lone figure stepped out.

The instant Kaguya arrived, she realized she was too late.

She looked at Gensou—his white robe, his aura that exuded Six Paths-level power—her expression turning cold as she uttered two words:

"Thief!"

Gensou remained composed, his Rinnegan meeting Kaguya's pure Byakugan and the Rinne Sharingan on her forehead. A faint smile tugged at his lips.

"If we're talking about thieves, Kaguya, you who devoured the chakra fruit first, are far more deserving of the title."

By lineage, Kaguya was his distant ancestor.

But after a thousand years, with so many generations separating them, their blood ties were diluted beyond meaning—Gensou had no interest in acknowledging her as kin.

Kaguya didn't care either.

Though displeased that Gensou had taken a massive portion of her chakra, she recognized that he had now become an existence equal to her.

The laws of mortals no longer applied between them.

She had already acknowledged him as an entity on her level.

At this moment, hearing Gensou accuse her of stealing the Divine Tree's fruit, a flicker of unease passed across Kaguya's face.

"It seems... you know many secrets."

Her Byakugan locked onto Gensou, her tone deep and foreboding.
