"Brother, as long as Lin Nan is not here, I am the strongest person in the world. Now that you are resurrected, we brothers can join forces to create our own world, a peace that does not require anyone to sacrifice!"
Sasuke roared.
Just then, a golden light flashed.
"Sasuke, let go. Three years have passed, and the world has changed!"
"Naruto?"
Looking at the fully grown Naruto, Sasuke's heart was filled with complexity.
Naruto was now twenty years old and had grown significantly taller. In comparison, Sasuke still seemed like a child!
Naruto's appearance had completely changed. He used to wear unfashionable orange and black sportswear, but now he wore a black jacket and orange pants with a buzz cut, looking much more handsome than before.
He exuded an aura of maturity from head to toe. Read books.
In fact, some things had happened in the meantime. There were some changes on the moon.
According to the original plot, Naruto needed to fight another battle before officially confirming his relationship with the Crown Princess.
However, Lin Nan directly attacked the moon, saving Naruto the trouble of traveling back and forth.
As for him and the Crown Princess, true love would eventually find its way, and Lin Nan paid no mind to it.
The reason Lin Nan went to the moon was fundamentally due to Orochimaru and Kabuto reaching a bottleneck in their research on Otsutsuki genes.
They needed Otsutsuki descendants for reference.
Lin Nan obliged them, so he directly went to the moon and captured Otsutsuki Toneri, a descendant of Otsutsuki Hamura.
Indeed, Otsutsuki Toneri gave Lin Nan quite a bit of trouble.
However, if Lin Nan had gone to the moon alone, he wouldn't have been entirely sure of finding Otsutsuki Toneri, so he chose to follow the plot.
But the original plot was just a movie, and Lin Nan wasn't sure if Toneri even existed.
Therefore, he only dispatched his Limbo shadows to guard Hinata Hanabi until someone finally came looking for them.
Without the Rinnegan or the Sage Body, it was impossible to detect the Limbo shadows. So Lin Nan followed them all the way to the moon and found Otsutsuki Toneri.
Otsutsuki Toneri needed to transplant Hanabi's Byakugan to activate the so-called "Tenseigan."
The Tenseigan was a power equivalent to the Rinnegan.
If the Sharingan's ultimate evolution was the Rinnegan, then the Byakugan's ultimate evolution was the Tenseigan.
If the Rinnegan symbolized destruction, then the Tenseigan was equivalent to resurrection.
The ultimate power of the Tenseigan could revive all things.
This was an extremely powerful ability. On a smaller scale, it was like an enhanced version of "Muki Tensei," which could give life to inanimate objects.
There was only Otsutsuki Toneri on the moon; the rest of his clan was almost extinct.
Accompanying Otsutsuki Toneri were countless puppets, to which Otsutsuki Toneri had given life.
In addition, the Tenseigan possessed ultimate gravitational and repulsive abilities, equivalent to an ultimate enhanced version of Pain's Shinra Tensei, also known as Shinra Tensei Kai.
There were two pairs of Tenseigan. One pair was activated by Otsutsuki Toneri transplanting Hanabi's Byakugan, and the other was a giant Tenseigan formed by the convergence of countless Byakugan.
As for the differences in their abilities, Lin Nan was unaware.
In summary, the Tenseigan was extremely powerful.
And Otsutsuki Toneri also harbored extreme ambitions.
His ideology was even more radical than that of Uchiha Madara.
He believed that the ninja world, populated by the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, had always been mired in war and conflict, making it a failed world.
Therefore, he planned to destroy the entire ninja world.
Then, using the Tenseigan, he would revive the entire world and become the Adam of the new world.
It was similar to the story of Noah's Ark.
Superb belief and extraordinary power forged Otsutsuki Toneri into such a formidable individual.
However, no matter how strong he was, it was very easy for Lin Nan to deal with him. A single "Bansho Tenin" would have been enough to end it.
But Lin Nan needed to obtain Otsutsuki Toneri's complete corpse.
Toneri was the most pure-blooded descendant of the Otsutsuki in the current ninja world. If this corpse could be brought back intact, it would lead to a rapid advancement in Orochimaru and Kabuto's experiments.
In the end, Lin Nan used his Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan and, not without some effort but also not too difficult, killed him with Black rods.
It must be said that the Black rods were truly effective.
The dual Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan was also incredibly useful.
Even after killing Otsutsuki Toneri, Lin Nan intended to bring the giant Tenseigan back to Earth, but unfortunately, it collapsed on its own.
Afterward, Lin Nan packed Hanabi and Otsutsuki Toneri into the Kamui dimension and then performed spatial traversal, traveling directly from the moon to Earth.
Orochimaru was astonished by this.
Otsutsuki Toneri, although his bloodline was relatively pure, was not a pure-blooded member of the Otsutsuki clan.
What Lin Nan needed was a pure Otsutsuki body.
Upon obtaining Otsutsuki Toneri's body, Orochimaru began working overtime on his cloning experiments.
Speaking of which, Orochimaru was almost obsessed now. During these three years, Lin Nan had barely seen Orochimaru sleep.
What a form of obsession this was!
Even when Lin Nan told him to rest for fear of him collapsing, he would only go out and run around like a madman before returning.
To this, both Lin Nan and Kabuto were speechless.
Before the resurrection ceremony three years prior, Lin Nan had paid close attention to the Otsutsuki clones.
Unfortunately, the cloning experiments had not yet succeeded, but Otsutsuki Toneri's body was now useless.
That's right, Lin Nan planned to use Otsutsuki Toneri's body to achieve rebirth. If anything, he could transfer his soul to a perfect Otsutsuki clone later.
This would naturally require Nagato's help.
It could even be said that Lin Nan had anticipated that something would happen to him after his death, and this was his preparation.
On one hand, Orochimaru would resurrect him using Edo Tensei, and on the other hand, Nagato would use the abilities of the Human Path to directly transfer his soul onto Otsutsuki Toneri's corpse.
Just as Sasuke and Naruto were confronting each other, Nagato had quietly begun his actions.
"Naruto, do you also want to stop me? Do you remember that Lin Nan killed me? If I hadn't pushed you away, you would be the one dead!" Sasuke roared hysterically.
In his heart, both Naruto and his brother had betrayed him.
Naruto shook his head and said, "The world is now moving towards hope and peace. Calm down, Sasuke, and look at this world!"
"I don't believe it!"
