chapter 3

In the aftermath of Black Zetsu's treachery and the demise of Madara Uchiha, the cosmos witnessed a cosmic upheaval. The soul of an enigmatic being, untethered by the constraints of time and space, found itself intertwined with the vessel of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

As the dawn broke on a world ravaged by war, Kaguya, now inhabited by a consciousness foreign to her own, stood amidst the rubble of her once-grand palace. Unlike the tales of old, where she sought to hoard all chakra for herself, this new Kaguya harbored different intentions.

With a flicker of cosmic energy, she summoned forth souls long departed from the mortal realm. Minato Namikaze, Tobirama Senju, and Hashirama Senju materialized before her, their forms bathed in ethereal light.

"What sorcery is this?" Hashirama exclaimed, his voice reverberating with disbelief as he surveyed his surroundings.

"I have brought you back from the brink of oblivion," Kaguya declared, her voice a steady echo in the void. "There is much to be done."

But her actions did not end there. At the behest of a grieving Sasuke Uchiha, she beckoned forth Itachi Uchiha from the abyss of the afterlife, his presence a haunting reminder of past sins.

"Why have you summoned me back?" Itachi questioned, his eyes piercing through the veil of reality to meet Kaguya's own.

"Sasuke seeks closure," Kaguya answered, her voice devoid of emotion as she regarded the Uchiha brothers with an impassive gaze.

As the dawn of a new era cast its light upon the world, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, bore witness to Kaguya's newfound power. With trembling hands and a voice choked with emotion, she made a plea for the resurrection of her lost loved ones.

But Kaguya's response was as cold as the void itself. "I do not meddle in the affairs of mortals," she stated flatly, her gaze unmoved by Tsunade's desperate entreaties.

Instead, Kaguya turned her attention to her own ambitions. With the boundless power at her disposal, she sought to create new tailed beasts, creatures bound to her will by the very essence of her being.

In her secluded dimension, far removed from the strife of the mortal realm, she began her experiments, each creation forged from the depths of her own chakra.

But as whispers of her deeds spread throughout the cosmos, Orochimaru and Kabuto, drawn by the promise of power, sought her out. And in a gesture of reluctant camaraderie, Kaguya extended an offer of sanctuary within her domain.

As the wheel of fate turned inexorably onwards, the shinobi world grappled with the aftershocks of war. And amidst it all, Kaguya Otsutsuki, now inhabited by a soul untethered by remorse or regret, stood as a harbinger of change, her motives shrouded in mystery and her path veiled in shadow.
