The search for Isshiki was sothing ordinary people couldn't help with, and it wasn't sothing that could be completed in a day or two.
Therefore, Ryuji wasn't in a hurry. He divided his ti between preparing for the war that would follow the collective descent of the Otsutsuki Clan and waiting for news.
He absorbed Black Zetsu, turned the White Zetsu into seeds, and created forces to oppose the Otsutsuki Clan.
During this period, the rest of Sunagakure was also busy.
Cleaning up the battlefield, holding collective etings to discuss future choices, and pacifying the defeated villages to prevent them from fleeing in panic upon hearing the news of their village's defeat, which would lead to the villages ceasing to exist even after the prisoners were eventually released.
Ti passed bit by bit, and a month went by.
After gathering villagers for a vote, the Sunagakure's higher-ups decided to continue living as a Shinobi Village and as Shinobi.
Ryuji wasn't surprised by this choice.
The Shinobi of this world inherently possessed the power to overthrow the Daimyos. But they hadn't done so.
This was because their thinking was bound.
To change, their minds needed to be liberated.
But speaking of liberating minds... you are not them, so how do you know their minds are bound, and yours is liberated?
Everyone has their own thoughts. There is no right or wrong, only thoughts that suit oneself and adapt to the trends of the tis are right.
Therefore, Ryuji had no intention of changing their minds.
Since they decided to live as Shinobi, the next step was negotiations and demanding war reparations.
anwhile, Ryuji began contacting the Daimyos of various countries to establish the Shinobi Council.
This was an organization responsible for supervising and managing the various villages and clans of the Shinobi World. Under normal circumstances, these Shinobi would never agree.
Therefore, taking advantage of the defeat of the villages and clans, he used absolute military force and the Daimyos' nas to establish it.
The words he spoke to Nagato back then, though rely to buy ti, were also a carefully considered, feasible thod.
As for the fairness issue Nagato raised, he had also considered it.
— Artificial Intelligence.
Create an artificial intelligence similar to a surveillance system as the highest decision-making body, with ten councilors as supervisors to ensure the Council remains fair and just towards all Shinobi Villages.
As for councilor candidates, naturally select peace-loving individuals from each Shinobi Village.
'The first choice was Nagato, followed by the still young Uchiha Itachi, then...'
'Huh, why are all peace-loving people related to Konoha?'
While searching for council mbers, Ryuji was surprised to discover this issue.
There were many peace-loving people in the Shinobi World, but the Council was an institution supervising Shinobi Villages and clans. rely loving peace wasn't enough; they needed individuals who wouldn't yield to real-world difficulties and would strive with all their might to achieve their goals.
Only such people, when working in an institution like the Council, wouldn't be swayed by personal emotions.
Of course, there would inevitably be so influence.
But small biases didn't matter; the overall direction as long as it maintained absolute fairness was enough.
…
Ti continued to pass, and various matters proceeded in an orderly manner.
After Sunagakure decided to continue as Shinobi, war reparations were finalized within a week of negotiations.
Sunagakure made a huge profit, becoming imnsely wealthy overnight.
The matter of the Shinobi Council was also naturally settled.
At this ti, the other villages had no strength left to resist. After suffering a disastrous defeat and a long war, internal anti-war sentint was also high.
Furthermore, since it was an organization jointly established in the na of the various Daimyos, it faced little opposition and was successfully established.
However, everyone objected to and questioned having Nagato, who was resurrected as a 'Golden Fairy' and was essentially a nobody, serve as the first Council Chairman.
It wasn't until Nagato used his Rinnegan to completely overwhelm the various Kage with absolute strength, Jiraiya vouched for his character, and Ryuji gave his full support that the objections and questions gradually subsided.
Of course, many still questioned; people just didn't dare to speak their anger aloud.
Nagato needed to work hard to secure his position and gain everyone's recognition.
In addition, the Council needed to be equipped with weapons capable of deterring the entire Shinobi World.
Otherwise, after several years, when the villages' strength caught up, perhaps dissatisfied individuals or forces would beco restless against the Council's existence.
One of the weapons was naturally the Tailed Beasts.
Ryuji had ntioned this condition during his deal with the Tailed Beasts... that they would help the Council supervise the Shinobi World without restricting their freedom.
However,
In this era where the Five Great Shinobi Villages all possessed Sky Castles, just Tailed Beasts couldn't achieve the purpose of nuclear deterrence; similarly Sky Castles with strategic aerial status were also needed.
But constructing a Sky City was too expensive and ti-consuming.
Therefore, Ryuji set his sights on the Moon.
The territory of the Byakugan-wielding clan descended from Otsutsuki Hamura... it had two Tenseigan serving as engines and weapons, making the Moon a satellite fortress of sorts.
…
The Moon was soon successfully captured. The process was too simple to describe in detail... The Byakugan Clan on the Moon had experienced internal strife, leaving only the young Toneri and his father, with the rest being autonomous puppets.
Although this could be considered a decent force, compared to the current Ryuji, it was far too lacking.
As for Toneri and his father... Ryuji didn't kill them; he just sent them back to Earth.
Whether they would go to Konoha's Hyuga Clan or Sunagakure's Hyuga Clan, Ryuji didn't care at all.
Although they knew many ancient secrets and could potentially fuse the Tenseigan,
But so what?
Compared to the current Ryuji, that would rely create an opponent barely capable of fighting him. Moreover, the future him would beco so strong that the current him wouldn't even be able to look up to him.
…
With the Moon as the Council's headquarters, Ryuji also moved the Chakra Cannons there.
These things posed a threat to the Council's existence.
If not resolved, a mutual standoff situation might occur.
Additionally, Ryuji gave another weapon to the Council.
— The Guardian Deity, Supre Throne!
This was the original and strongest Imperial Arm from Aka ga Kill!... one hundred ters tall, capable of destroying everything with a re gesture, possessing legendary power said to rival that of gods.
Its chest had dense beam cannons, and its core cannon could instantly destroy half the Imperial Capital. Its trump card was the 'Purging Mode'.
Combining alchemy and Imperial Arm characteristics, its exterior transford into a dragon shape. The user would be corroded by the Imperial Arm, becoming bloodthirsty. The weapon's destructive power and quantity greatly increased, and the armor's hardness also improved.
Although in the original work, this Imperial Arm only showed its destructive aspect, that was solely because the user was the young, ordinary Emperor.
If replaced with Esdeath or another warrior, the Supre Throne's performance would be worlds apart.
This was the reward Ryuji received from his fifteen-year check-in system, and it was also the confidence that allowed him to potentially end the war instantly from the beginning.
Now that the war was over, this thing didn't need to stay in Sunagakure anymore.
Also, because it was a system check-in reward, the restriction that only the Imperial royal bloodline could use it was removed.
Moreover, after a year of modifications, Ryuji had optimized the side effect of becoming bloodthirsty when using 'Purging Mode'.
With this powerful weapon rivaling the Ten-Tails stationed there, as long as no Six Paths-level powerhouses appeared in the Shinobi World, the Council could control everything.
With a base, weapons to deter the Shinobi World, and even connections to the various Daimyos established, the remaining tasks of recruiting mbers and discussing specific structures were handed over to Nagato.
If he couldn't handle even these matters, then he didn't deserve the position of Council Chairman.
…
Ti passed again.
Three years later, the one hundred thousand White Zetsus had all been turned into God Tree's seeds by Ryuji.
Two years later, traces of Jigen were discovered.
But Jigen was sly, escaped quickly, and with his ability to shrink/enlarge and use Space-Ti Ninjutsu, he managed to get away.
Another two years passed.
Scarab puppets once again discovered Jigen's traces.
Learning from the last lesson, Ryuji brought specially developed gravity-magnetic field jamrs targeting Jigen, setting up an impenetrable net, finally trapping Jigen.
Under the effect of the gravity-magnetic field jamrs, Space-Ti abilities beca useless. Jigen had no choice but to engage in a fight to the death with Ryuji.
The result was without any suspense; Jigen, and even Isshiki, suffered a crushing defeat.
Isshiki was very strong, but he was ambushed and killed once by Kaguya, who hadn't even eaten a Chakra Fruit. Even if he was stronger than Kaguya at that ti, he wouldn't have been that much stronger.
Moreover, Jigen could not withstand Isshiki's power and could only use partial abilities to fight, naturally leading to a crushing defeat.
Even when Isshiki finally ignored the vessel's destruction, regained consciousness, and fought with full strength, he couldn't change the outco.
Finally, he was knocked unconscious by Ryuji and fed to the God Tree.
Then, he grew stronger again.
Just a casual wave of his hand could blast apart a small hill from a distance.
"This level of power should be enough for fishing, right?" Ryuji murmured to himself after testing his increased power. Then he used the Otsutsuki Clan's secret thod to send a ssage to the Otsutsuki Main Family in the cosmic starscape.
An intermittent ssage.
The God Tree was about to bear fruit, but there were complications; reinforcents were needed.
It didn't specify what complications or how many reinforcents, but the tone was urgent, creating the impression of a situation that could be barely managed for now but couldn't be sustained long.
…
Two years later, a cot descended upon Earth.
Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Otsutsuki Kinshiki descended.
Having long calculated their landing ti, Ryuji was waiting for them at the landing site.
No explanations were given.
Before they could even survey their surroundings after landing, Ryuji launched his attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The earth shook, air waves rolled.
The three clashed; the aftermath of their power collisions destroyed mountains, shattered the earth, evaporated rivers...
Momoshiki was strong, very strong.
He could absorb opponents' Ninjutsu and increase their power to reflect them back. Ordinary Ninjutsu in his hands could rival S-Rank Ninjutsu.
Although Ryuji knew this intelligence beforehand and attacked with Aka using Taijutsu,
But the opponent also possessed extrely high Taijutsu skill, making it difficult to defeat him quickly.
Although they eventually cornered Momoshiki and Kinshiki. But in the critical mont, Momoshiki devoured Kinshiki, causing his overall strength to skyrocket, pulling the situation back.
However, it was all in vain.
Not to ntion Ryuji, who had devoured Kaguya and Isshiki, even Aka, constantly able to activate the Eight Gates and Perfect Sage Mode, completely countered Momoshiki.
Under their combined assault, he ultimately was defeated and devoured by Ryuji.
A new God Tree grew, bearing another Chakra Fruit.
Ryuji gave this fruit to Aka.
Having all human talents simultaneously, she had already reached her limit in non-human warfare. To break through further, she needed to evolve into a non-human.
…
After defeating Momoshiki and Kinshiki, Ryuji repeated the trick, welcoming five waves of Otsutsuki Clan's mbers to Earth over the next ten years.
The second ti, three ca.
The third ti, six ca.
The third ti, ten ca.
The fourth ti, twenty ca.
The fifth ti, one hundred ca.
But without any suspense, all were annihilated by Ryuji.
These individuals were very strong; the weakest was similar to Kinshiki, and the strongest was several tis stronger than Kaguya after eating a Chakra Fruit and rging with the God Tree.
Unfortunately, this person ca in the fifth wave.
Through the previous fishing expeditions, Ryuji had devoured thirty-nine Otsutsuki, producing sixty Chakra Fruits.
Aside from giving one to Pakura, he ate all the rest himself.
Not to ntion the dramatic increase in various basic attributes, the nearly sixty Chakra Fruits also bestowed upon him all sorts of bizarre abilities.
Gravity manipulation, size alteration, creation from nothing, ti acceleration, ti deceleration, space jumping, spatial dominance... each was at the Kekkei Mora level.
In mythological legends, the Sage of Six Paths destroyed the world and also created the world.
Now, myth beca reality; Ryuji could accomplish things only possible in myths.
Even creating a new Earth would be only equivalent to a five-minute jog for him.
And when the one hundred Otsutsuki who descended in the fifth batch were all devoured, Ryuji's strength underwent another qualitative change.
How strong exactly, he didn't know.
But by feeling, if he wanted to punch like an ordinary person, he could blow up the sun from Earth.
Although it was just a feeling, and he didn't know the actual situation,
To avoid accidentally blowing up the sun and causing human extinction, he didn't attempt it.
"This level of power should be enough to not fear the Otsutsuki Clan anymore!"
Aka said this upon learning the approximate level of Ryuji's power.
But Ryuji gently shook his head in denial.
"After five fishing expeditions, no matter how foolish the Otsutsuki Clan is, they should have noticed sothing wrong, right?"
In fact, they should have noticed long ago.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent out double to quintuple the number of people each ti.
The Otsutsuki Main Family simply underestimated the situation here; even sending out such strength couldn't resolve it.
But now, after the complete annihilation of one hundred, the next to co would certainly be an unimaginable number.
And the final result was roughly as Ryuji predicted.
…
Ten years later.
Just when Ryuji thought the Otsutsuki Clan was about to give up investigating Earth, the sky darkened.
It wasn't sunset; sunlight was being blocked.
Dense, layer upon layer, people stretching as far as the eye could see floated in the sky, blocking the light shining on the entire planet.
Their number was probably counted in the hundreds of millions.
Despair, despair... people and creatures worldwide fell into despair.
It wasn't just the quantity; the quality was also very strong.
Every Otsutsuki emitted Chakra Fluctuations far exceeding ordinary comprehension. That intensity ant any one of them could easily destroy one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
"Did they co with their entire nest?"
Ryuji murmured, looking at the Otsutsuki Clan in the sky.
"Probably not!" Aka explained. "After all, they are a race colonizing the cosmic starscape. Even with pairs roaming and colonizing, a considerable number is needed. You must know, just in the Milky Way, detectable stars number over two hundred billion. Of those with planetary systems constitute about 93% of the total. Calculating with the lowest ratio, there are roughly seven hundred million planets with life. And this is only within the detectable parts of the Milky Way, compared to the entire universe, it's rely a drop in the ocean."
"That's true!" Ryuji suddenly understood, then chuckled lightly. "If the Otsutsuki Clan truly is a race colonizing the entire universe, then their number is probably counted in trillions. It seems my preparations are still far from enough!"
"But aren't the Otsutsuki Clan just delivering fertilizer to Master?"
"We should be very grateful to them!"
As he spoke, the surrounding space transford.
The original room beca an ocean. Coffins erged from the water, densely packed, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
One golden coffin opened, completely empty inside.
Ryuji looked at Aka and instructed, "Aka, I can't look after you in this war either. You go to the alternate dinsion as well."
"Hmm!"
Seeing Aka nod, Ryuji stepped into the golden coffin.
Then, coffin after coffin opened, and one after another 'Senki Ryuji' stepped out.
They first looked around blankly, then saw the Otsutsuki Clan floating in the sky, their faces revealing the smile of hunters seeing prey.
"It's ti to hunt the Otsutsuki!"
In the Sea Of Consciousness, the voice of Ryuji's main body resounded.
The one after another 'Ryuji' soared upwards, charging at the Otsutsuki in the sky.
And Aka entered the alternate dinsion.
No, it should be said she entered the real space.
This ocean was Ryuji's Ocean Space, similar to Kaguya's Core Dinsion, a world of seawater.
Ryuji had just used this ability to suck in all the Otsutsuki.
…
War broke out.
Hundreds of millions of Otsutsuki and tens of thousands of 'Senki Ryuji' engaged in life-and-death combat in the sky and ocean.
These clones, created by Ryuji using Yin-Yang Release, artificial soul technology, and cloning technology, possessed strength equal to Ryuji himself. A casual strike could blow up the sun.
Among these hundreds of millions of Otsutsuki, there were also powerhouses who had reached this level, but 99.9% were at the level of Kinshiki and Momoshiki.
From the beginning of the battle, countless individuals fell.
There were Otsutsuki, and there were Senki Ryuji.
Their corpses fell into the ocean continuously like dumplings.
These corpses would be devoured by the God Tree's Seeds in the ocean, sending nutrients to the central Ryuji main body, who then continued creating new clones.
The battle lasted a very long ti, so long that Ryuji lost track of ti.
He only knew that during the war, the Otsutsuki sent reinforcents three tis, each ti with even stronger powerhouses.
They aid to beco omnipotent 'gods' through continuously colonizing planets, using the life force of planets to cultivate Chakra Fruits for continuous evolution... The Otsutsuki Clan's history was so ancient that no one rembered it.
What level of powerhouses they had evolved to, even the Otsutsuki themselves didn't know.
However, as the war progressed, Ryuji also continuously grew stronger.
The surviving clones grew through combat, while the main body grew by devouring Otsutsuki via hundreds of millions of newly grown God Trees.
The protracted war filled Ryuji's Sea Of Consciousness with deafening battle cries, causing him to lose the concept of ti.
He only knew to create clones, absorb Otsutsuki, grow stronger, and repeat.
Then, one day, the sea of consciousness suddenly quieted down.
The sudden change made him freeze.
'What happened?'
The question had just surfaced when instantly, the information of the entire universe entered his brain without missing a single detail.
And with so much information, his brain organized it within 0.0000000001% of a second.
"So that's it, the Otsutsuki are extinct!"
Ryuji murmured as he pushed open the coffin serving as the core.
He stepped out. The ocean had turned red, and the world was filled with the sll of blood.
He looked up, his gaze penetrating through layers of space to see the real space... There, people had entered a modern society more advanced than his previous life. Various futuristic-looking skyscrapers and vehicles, a scene of prosperity.
And all the people he knew before, except for Pakura and Aka who had eaten Chakra Fruits, had aged and died.
"It's been two hundred years!"
Ryuji murmured, then smiled. "Wait a bit more, wait another two hundred years, and everything will be settled."
With the cosmic locusts, the Otsutsuki Clan, extinct, the remaining threat was the clones nad 'Senki Ryuji'.
Personalities based on humans possessed stronger self-awareness.
Especially after experiencing a two-hundred-year cosmic war, their personalities had also beco different.
Ryuji who hated war, Ryuji who reveled in the thrill of slaughter, Ryuji who wanted to rule everything, Ryuji who inherited the enemy's will and wanted to revive space colonization... countless Ryuji of different personalities could be said to encompass all possibilities of Ryuji's existence.
These individuals might bring prosperity to a place or beco calamities replacing or even surpassing the Otsutsuki in danger.
But regardless of which, Ryuji wouldn't leave behind a root of calamity.
"Then, the slaughter begins!"
War broke out once again.
This ti, both sides were Senki Ryuji's main body vs. trillions of Senki Ryuji's clones.
From the number perspective, they weren't on the sa level.
From the strength perspective, among the clones who had experienced two hundred years of war, the strongest were not weaker than the Senki Ryuji's main body.
But when the war truly started, the result was a crushing victory by the main body.
This was because when creating them, Ryuji had already left a backdoor. With a single thought, he could control their life and death.
Even if so evolved special abilities to shake off the backdoor, they were extrely few.
And those extrely few existences, compared to the main body who had also devoured countless clones, were not on the sa level.
Finally, Ryuji killed all the clones, becoming the only one.
And precisely upon killing and devouring the last clone, he beca an omnipotent god.
— The End
