"So the so-called immortal Edo bodies are still afraid of sealing techniques. I thought they were something special."
Momoshiki Otsutsuki curled his lips into a cruel smile.
After experimenting for a while, he had finally discovered their weakness.
Pfft! Pfft!
Black rods shot out like arrows, piercing into the reanimated bodies.
Their chakra flow was instantly disrupted—
Their movements completely sealed.
"Outlaw Technique—!"
"Outlaw Technique—!"
"Outlaw Technique—!"
Momoshiki moved like a storm through the battlefield.
His hands fired black rods nonstop, overwhelming everything in his path.
One by one, the Edo Tensei warriors froze in place—
Reduced to lifeless statues.
The battlefield fell silent.
Everyone watching was stunned.
These black rods, formed through Yin–Yang Release, interfered directly with chakra.
They didn't just suppress—
They sealed.
Even the supposedly "immortal" Edo bodies couldn't resist.
"Pathetic inferior creatures," Momoshiki laughed arrogantly.
Across the ninja world, fear spread.
Even legendary figures—Kage-level shinobi—were helpless against him.
The Third Raikage, once known as invincible, lasted only a few moves before being completely immobilized.
Despair crept in.
"Is this… the power of the Ōtsutsuki?"
"Even Edo Tensei users can't win…"
"Who can stop him?"
Names echoed in people's minds—
Jiraiya
Tsunade
Kakashi Hatake
Might Guy
Nagato
Itachi Uchiha
But in the end—
Only one name truly gave hope.
Naruto Uzumaki.
Meanwhile…
"Senjutsu: Myojin Gate!"
"Sealing Technique!"
On another side of the battlefield—
Kinshiki Otsutsuki was finally restrained.
Massive gates crushed down, locking him in place.
Madara Uchiha appeared instantly—
His hand pierced straight into Kinshiki's chest.
Sealing runes spread like snakes, locking onto his core.
"Got him," Madara said calmly.
Hashirama Senju exhaled.
"These Ōtsutsuki… they're no joke."
Even for them, it had taken everything.
Obito's Fear
A ripple in space—
Obito Uchiha appeared.
He looked around at the battlefield—
And felt genuine fear.
Everyone here…
Was stronger than him.
Even Madara.
Even Hashirama.
And the Ōtsutsuki?
They felt like mountains.
Unreachable.
"I should leave…"
For the first time—
Obito hesitated.
But suddenly—
"Lower creature. Get lost."
Momoshiki struck.
Too fast.
Before Obito could react—
He was hit.
BOOM!
He was sent flying like trash—
Crashing beside Black Zetsu.
The two stared at each other.
Black Zetsu forced a smile.
Trying to survive.
Obito grinned—
Then attacked.
"Wood Style!"
Branches pierced through Black Zetsu—
But—
Black Zetsu countered instantly.
His body liquefied—
Wrapped around the attack—
And struck back.
A black hand pierced straight through Obito's chest.
Blood sprayed.
Both retreated.
Both injured.
Neither dared move again.
Then—
Without a word—
They disappeared.
Like rats fleeing the light.
"The Real Battle Begins"
Momoshiki stood before Kinshiki.
"You're useless."
Then—
His gaze shifted.
Toward Madara and Hashirama.
This time—
He was serious.
"Finally… opponents worth fighting."
Madara grinned.
Hashirama smiled.
They charged.
No flashy techniques.
Just pure taijutsu.
The battlefield exploded.
But—
Gradually—
They were pushed back.
Momoshiki was different from Kinshiki.
Stronger.
Faster.
Smarter.
Even together—
Madara and Hashirama began to lose ground.
"This is the end," Momoshiki said coldly.
Then—
Suddenly—
His expression changed.
Something felt wrong.
Before he could react—
A fist appeared.
BOOM!
He was launched into the sky.
The entire world froze.
Sasuke Enters
A figure stepped forward calmly.
"You've done enough."
"This is no longer your era."
It was Sasuke Uchiha.
Madara went silent.
Hashirama smiled bitterly.
They stepped back.
Because they knew—
It was true.
Their era was over.
"Sasuke vs Momoshiki"
"You've angered me," Momoshiki roared.
Sasuke didn't react.
"Have you thought about how you're going to die?"
They vanished.
The clash began.
Blinding speed.
Instant exchanges.
Sasuke attacked—
Precise. Sharp. Relentless.
Momoshiki countered—
But something was wrong.
This wasn't like before.
Sasuke wasn't weaker.
He was equal.
Maybe even…
Better.
"…Impossible," Momoshiki muttered.
Sasuke stood calm.
"Ōtsutsuki?"
"That's all?"
The insult hit hard.
Momoshiki roared—
And attacked again.
Across the world—
Everyone watched.
Hope had returned.
The End of an Era
Madara stood silently.
"…So it's really over."
His ambitions.
His plans.
Everything—
Faded.
Hashirama placed a hand on his shoulder.
The new generation had risen.
And the old era—
Had finally come to an end.
