"Dragon Vein…"
Gensou could feel the immense, foreign chakra surging within his body.
Having brought his true body into the Limited Tsukuyomi world, the Dragon Vein had followed him here.
Without hesitation, he willed it forth—
And an enormous, brilliant blue Dragon Vein burst out from within him.
ROAR!!
Gathered from countless worlds, its chakra dwarfed that of any Dragon Vein previously seen. It coiled and roared high above Gensou's head.
It sensed something was wrong with this world.
But Gensou didn't give it time to react. He issued a command, just like he had done with the other Dragon Veins:
Reside here—forever.
For the first time, the Dragon Vein he controlled showed resistance.
This wasn't the world it recognized.
It felt an instinctive discomfort.
But it was meaningless.
Under the overwhelming power of Ruler of All Things, the resistance melted like snow under the sun.
ROAR!!
With another thunderous cry, the Dragon Vein quickly located the most compatible area in this world.
The earth trembled violently as the massive blue Dragon Vein descended from the sky like a colossal waterfall, plunging into the planet's depths to reside there permanently.
From that moment on, the ground shook with great intensity.
No one knew what it had been like when the real world's Dragon Vein first arrived.
But now, as the Dragon Vein forcibly merged with the Limited Tsukuyomi world, the entire world trembled in instability.
Light flared around Kaguya and the Sage of Six Paths.
Clearly, the instability of the Dragon Vein was affecting them.
However, Gensou—thanks to the full acceptance of this world's version of himself—was entirely unaffected. He even had the strength to help the mother and son duo stabilize, dispersing the time-space light around them.
After a long while, the tremors gradually ceased.
The chakra of the massive blue Dragon Vein began to circulate through the Limited Tsukuyomi world and instinctively linked with other worlds through time-space, rejoining the full-body Dragon Vein.
Once all the movement settled…
Gensou looked upon the Tsukuyomi world again.
He could feel it—something had changed.
A drop of ink had finally fallen.
The pure white paper had begun to stain with color.
As time passed, the ink would seep deeper and spread farther.
Gensou decided to accelerate the process.
He turned toward Kaguya.
She nodded.
A ripple of chakra followed—and Kaguya split into two.
"You…"
The version of Kaguya from Gensou's original world had just revealed her true form. But before she could speak, her expression darkened.
Already prepared, Gensou reached out and grabbed her shoulder:
"Become the progenitor of chakra in this world."
"Rikudō: Chibaku Tensei!"
In an instant—
The earth shattered. Rocks and layers of land surged upward, encasing the rising Kaguya piece by piece.
"I'm being sealed again…"
Kaguya stared at Gensou with deep resentment.
And just like a thousand years ago, she was once more sealed in outer space—now becoming a permanent part of the Limited Tsukuyomi world.
But it wasn't over yet.
Gensou then extracted the Ten-Tails from the original world, split it back into the Nine Tailed Beasts, and fused them—chakra and all—into the Nine Tailed Beasts of this world.
With this second "drop of ink," the Tsukuyomi world, now saturated with both the Dragon Vein and Six Paths-level chakra, had no remaining blank spots. It was completely immersed in darkness—fully stabilized.
Through the lens of his Rinnegan, Gensou could see it clearly.
This world was undergoing a profound transformation.
It was growing more stable.
The power of the Six Paths could reverse life and death, turn illusion into reality, and change everything.
More importantly, the Dragon Vein continually pulled power from the full version beyond, following its set rules and connecting this world with all other parallel worlds—making it part of the sequence.
With both the Dragon Vein and Kaguya acting as twin pillars…
The Limited Tsukuyomi world was no longer a fragile illusion easily shattered by a single ripple.
Just as Gensou planned, it had now been given real meaning.
Over time, this world would become indistinguishable from reality.
The Sage of Six Paths saw this too.
He looked at Gensou in awe and amazement, astonished that such a bold, unimaginable plan had actually succeeded.
"…So, can we go back now?"
The Sage and Kaguya from Gensou's original world were both gone—sealed or destroyed.
The one who asked the question now was the Kaguya from the very first Dragon Vein traversal.
Though one of the masterminds, witnessing her counterpart being sealed with Chibaku Tensei made her feel an uneasy kinship.
She glanced at her son standing beside her and swore silently:
I must never meet the same fate.
The Sage of Six Paths, standing quietly, sensed something as he looked at his mother. There was a complexity in his eyes.
"The Limited Tsukuyomi world isn't fully stabilized yet. Give it some time."
Gensou, uninterested in meddling in their mother-son affairs, answered seriously.
He, too, wanted to send them back.
But the world had only just begun stabilizing. The Dragon Vein and the sealed Kaguya needed more time to finish transforming this realm.
Gensou didn't want anything to go wrong in the final step.
"To be cautious, I'd say… wait about a month."
Sensing and analyzing the world's changes, he set the time.
Neither of them objected.
One month—they could wait.
"For now, the two of you can find a quiet place to stay. Or you're free to explore this world. Just remember—"
"This is my world. I don't want to see it damaged."
After reminding the two, Gensou waved his hand and turned to leave.
Left behind, the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya looked at one another.
"…Mother," he said, "do you want to go see the world? The lights of mankind… they're the most beautiful scenery this planet has."
Kaguya glanced at her son and replied coldly, "No need."
Then she turned and walked away, seeking a quiet, uninhabited place to wait in solitude.
"…Her will still hasn't changed."
The Sage sighed deeply as he watched her vanish into the distance.
From beginning to end, his mother had never changed her views. She never came to accept the world, nor humanity. She still saw them as her seedbed, humans as seedlings—hers to pluck, to command, to kill at will.
This was the one thing he had never wanted to see.
"I must start preparing…"
He began to wander the Tsukuyomi world, deep in thought.
In his original world, the only Indra reincarnation—Madara—was already dead.
The current Naruto, his vessel, hadn't been born yet.
Both Asura and Indra's reincarnations were missing.
Now the question was—
Where could he find suitable successors?
