51 Chapter 50 - Evil God
Karma Uzumaki's POV
〈Madara-sama〉
This was voiced by Kuro-Zetsu who manifested himself bellow Madara.
Naruko and Sasuke's attention is brought to him.
〈I have succeeded.〉
Madara made his way down and once again he laughs.
〈As I thought! Heaven is with me! 〉
Stop, you sound like manhua villains...
He collects the object that appears to be a rinnegan from Kuro-Zetsu who's clinging on a body that appears like a panting Obito.
That's not the real Obito of course.
I have him right here in the ID and I had sent sakura back to the real world.
「My whole body, it back to normal. I felt...humane.」
He expressed.
「Why did you-」
「Just sit there and wait.」
I shushed him immediately.
Madara has taken the rinnegan and the fake Sharingan on homunculus Obito.
〈Regarding these Cursed Tags Dimplanted in the two of you, Naturally, you couldn't have killed yourselves either.
Since you both were my precious pawns. 〉
Madara stated.
「〈"You both"??〉」
That was sounded by the Obito on the screen, and Obito besides me.
〈As fate would have it, It's ironic that both of you ended up getting rid of them through the same method.〉
The homunculus played Obito's persona splendidly.
〈That's right! That plot to make that girl into the Three Tails' Jinchuriki, and have her rampage through the Leaf Village was mine. Not the hidden mist!!〉
.
.
.
「Are you... trying to make me see this? 」
Once again, the massive amount of hatred and sadness envelope Obito.
「No. It was supposed to happen in the original timeline, and it shall repeat itself in this new timeline. 」
I murmured in low voice.
But it looks like he heard it since he shifted his attention to me.
Turning back to the screen we watch Madara cast a jutsu that collects giant rocks and soil together and let them fall like a rainfall of meteorites.
Madara's shadows clashed themselves with Naruko's bunshins, while Sasuke's flying to meteor after meteor to slice them into pieces in perfect susano'o.
Madara gazes at the red shining moon in the sky.
He brought his hand to the new horns on his head and ripped them off.
From there he closes his eyes, and a new eye formed on his forehead.
A red rinnegan.
.
.
.
「Now! Become one! 」
『Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence』
.
.
.
Obito couldn't believe what he is seeing right now.
All of them looked dead while they have Rinnegan in their eyes.
For a moment, the world looks like time has stopped.
No one is moving from the effect of Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Obito watched in horror as woods reached out to all the shinobis warping them into a cocoon.
「Why! Why did you make me see this!? Which side are you on!?」
He gritted his teeth.
「Madara's trying to play god.」
This was brought to his attention.
「Since he started all of this by betrayal.」
...
「Then he shall end, with a betrayal.」
.
.
.
No one's POV
「I won't allow you to do anything further.
I just severed the Karmic Cycle of this world.
I have freed humankind from their suffering, pain, and their futility.」
Madara stated as he lands on the ground.
To this, Naruko shouts,
「But all this...is just a lie!」
「Naruko, you're the one who's interfering with everyone's happiness.」
「Just look at this world now.
All fighting between shinobi has ceased.
I've finally corrected Hashirama's mistake.」
Surprisingly, Sakura responds to his speeches.
「What do you mean by the First Hokage's "mistake"?」
「You hidden leaf might not acknowledge it, but Hashirama ultimately failed in reforming the Shinobi World.」
「In the beginning, both Hashirama and I had the same goals and we worked together.
We tried to change the shinobi world that sent out barely grown children out to war.
The two of us created a shinobi village, However, that does not result in true peace.
People cannot show each other their true feelings.
Fear, suspicion, and resentment never subsided
My opinions were pushed aside and the Shinobi World moved forward in accordance with Hashirama's vision.」
.
.
.
「Is this how you view a perfect world? You're just deceiving people! 」
These were the words of Sasuke's.
「I just wanted to be a savior that ends the long history of fighting amongst shinobi.
Just know this, It's all over.」
That declaration was interrupted by a black hand piercing through Madara's heart.
「You're wrong, Madara.」
It took everyone by surprise.
With such rusty voice, Kuro-Zetsu called.
「You're not the savior, nor is this the end of things...」
「How can you say that you, unlike Obito, are able to completely take advantage of others?
Isn't that presumptuous to think that you alone are different?
My dear Madara, You have also been inside a phantom dream...」
「Inside a dream that I concocted.」
.
.
.
「Kuro-Zetsu...
What are you saying?
I created you!
You are my will incarnate!」
「Wrong again, just like him. My will is... Kaguya's!」
.
.
.
Chakras are visible everywhere in the soil and plants.
They gathered at Madara.
And Madara begins to transform accompanied by his scream of pain.
.
.
.
「Otsusuki... Kaguya! 」 (Sasuke)
.
.
.
The rabbit goddess floated in the sky.
Extreme pale complexion, white hair, pupil-less eyes, and a red rinnegan along with a princess kimono that makes her majestic appearance that can entrance anyone who sees it.
They were about to clash.
But before that, an unknown force forced everything to freeze.
No one could move, Team seven can't blink or move.
No sound made from the Kuro-Zetsu inside Kaguya's sleeves.
And even the floating goddess has now frozen like her hair or kimono are not waving around and fluttering from the wind anymore.
But,
They still have their consciousness.
And somehow, they can hear each other's voices.
'What-!!'
'That sound... Kuro-Zetsu! What did you do to us this time!?'
'Sasuke!? I can hear you but my body can't move dattebayo!'
'Naruko!?'
In the midst of their conversation, a lazy clapping can be heard.
「So far is a good show, not gonna lie.」
That was the red-headed demon.
Remembering that sound, they turn their attention to him even though they can't move.
「I stopped time and yet 4 of you can remain conscious. 」
That line shocked them.
'Karma!?'
「But it's a shame that 2 of you will lose your consciousness, forever.」
He said that as he stopped in front of Kaguya.
'YOU! I THOUGHT YOUR WILL IS ALSO KAGUYA'S!!'
「Oh don't get me wrong.
I did say I desired her revival.
But I never said I desired her accession to monarchy. 」
He ended with a smile.
「You started all this with betrayals. 」
His right hand is lifted and he placed it on Kaguya's head.
「And you shall too, end, with a betrayal.」
.
.
.
「Do you know? If Gods plays dirty, it's the demon's job to punish them. 」
.
.
.
『Gluttony』
.
.
.
「Now then...」
The demon muttered.
Time has moved again.
Everyone can breathe and none of them are harmed.
But the others are still trapped inside the cocoon.
『Mugen Tsukuyomi REVERSED』
The moon shined again, now all the shinobis consciousness was brought back.
But rather than a back to reality, it seems Karma has other plans for them.
They're all confused.
Last time they're in a dream world where they have become the main protagonist of their world.
But now, they're in the sky.
Watching the chaotic world down there were 4 figures of team seven and the one proclaimed as a demon lord in front of them.
「Karma!? Oi, what did you do? 」
Naruko voiced out her thoughts.
The demon turned his head slowly at them.
But they weren't sure if in front of them is the Karma Uzumaki right after seeing his face.
A wide twisted grin is plastered on the devil lord's face, but the fact that one crack is forming on his left side, separating an inch of his skin.
Even though they knew he was a reanimation, that looks still made them shudder.
And that wasn't for the fact that an unknown voice entered their heads.
≪Installing system... Success.≫
「Eh? What!? What's going on!?」
≪Reforming world laws... Success≫
「Where did this sound come from...? 」
≪Establishing the concept of Magicules... Success≫
「Karma... what are you-!?」
≪Report. Establishment of 『Voice of the world』 has been completed. ≫
That voice was not only heard by team seven,
≪Inquiry. Establishing Connection between 『Pure world』, and 『Impure world』. Success ≫
But rather, everyone who's inside a Tsukuyomi sees and heard this announcement of the robotic lady inside their heads.
≪Report. Spirits have now active. Commencing to bestow skills and Magicules. ≫
As they now saw it in front of their eyes,
≪Due to administrator's petition, Individual: Uzumaki Naruko, shall be bestowed with a <Hero's egg>≫
The birth of a hero.
≪Calculating conditions... success. ≫
≪A hero has been born.≫
This brought team seven's eyes to narrow.
≪Report. Acquisition of unique skill, 『Seeker』≫
「 There are voices in my head!!」
「We heard them too, Naruko. 」
「No! I said voices! There are two of them!!」
≪Report. World expansion commences. ≫
.
.
.
From that, an earthquake shakes the entire continent.
Magicules entered the earth making it evolve.
And giving animals a boost of magic too.
The planet has enlarged 4 times its original size, and surprisingly, very few manmade buildings were crushed.
And no one was harmed, due to the cocoon of mokuton protecting them.
The process only took 2 hours while team seven has been once again protected themselves with Sasuke's susano'o.
Once the earthquake stopped.
They came out.
Greeted by a red-haired boy that looks many years younger than them.
「Karma! What in the world just happened!?」
This was the voice of Kakashi.
「The world is expanding.
And it seems like Naruko has been chosen as the first hero of this world. 」
He showed a grin while stating that.
But soon.
He vanished.
Appeared near them.
And now began to attack.
A grey sword of susano'o was on his hand as he tries to slice team seven in a narrow position.
They dodge of course.
「What are you doing!?」
「Didn't you hear?
You are the heroes, I'm the demon lord.
We're meant to fight.
Now fight me! 」
Sasuke charges at me while sakura and Kakashi retreated to get some space.
「Wait! Sasuke!!」
CLANK*
A sound of a chidori blade with a grey susano'o blade clash echoed.
.
.
.
「Wait! Why are you like this!? Weren't we on the same side!?」
Looking up still with a sadistic grin, karma states.
「As I said, I am on my own side. 」
This made them speechless for a second.
「Then state your desire, what is it that you think you can gain by betraying us!?」
Sasuke voiced this line.
「Desire?? Haha, you're funny. What I can gain is it...?
Fine, I'll tell you.
It's simple, world domination.
The spirits, the tailed beasts, the humans, angels, demons...
I want to rule it all!!」
They winced upon this declaration.
「 That's why I work hard.
It has been my plan from the beginning.
I've seen this future all along.
Not from when I got reanimated.
That's right, Kakashi.
From the first time we met!!」
Kakashi widens his eyes further.
「 Specifically, it's a game.
Yes.
A simple game.
I will try to rule every single living being in this world,
And the world will try to prevent it!
Isn't that interesting!?
Kufufufu fuhaha HAHAHAHAHA」
Thus, he ended with a three-staged laugh.
Ending his laughing session, he raised both of his hands after putting his susano'o katana on a scabbard he pulled out from thin air.
On the left hand is where the Black mini pyramid; Shinigami's ego-less nucleic heart, The shinigami's core manifested.
And on the right, a white orb with red markings shining brightly, is Kaguya's nucleic heart, The Kaguya's core.
「You'll up against a goddess anyway. I'll take her stead instead. 」
The core fused with him.
Aura of black and white surrounded him vigorously.
It solidifies into a shape of an octahedron.
The solid crystal slowly disintegrates.
There are no sounds of broken glass.
Just a delicate landing step of a figure with deep black hair and a unique colored rinnegan on his eyes.
A teen ranged in 16-18, a noble-like set of attires in black color and demon wings sprouting from his back, completing his majestic look.
「True Demon Lord, Uzumaki kar- no...」
He paused.
「I am the one and only, lord Jashin, Azi Dahaka. Pleased to make your acquaintances...」
.
.
.
「Heroes」
