Chapter 240
Madara and Obito were elated. Their long-cherished dream was finally within reach—the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the grand illusion cast by the moon's reflection, ready to blanket the entire world in shadow.
But something felt... off.
They both noticed it at the same time—the moon in the sky... it was getting bigger.
Zixu's eyes narrowed. He felt it too—subtle shifts in gravity around him. The moon wasn't just an illusionary tool anymore. It was coming closer. Fast.
"Wait a sec... this isn't part of the plan," Zixu muttered. "Kabuto and his guys were supposed to destroy a part of the moon... are they trying to destroy the whole damn thing?"
His brow twitched, and a chill ran down his spine. If they were serious, it might break the Infinite Tsukuyomi—sure. But if they miscalculated... the Earth could be completely wiped out.
High above, the floating city of Roran responded immediately. Carrying the weight of its ancient glory, it nosedived toward the Earth. Being stuck between a crashing moon and the planet was not an option.
Behind Madara, the Divine Tree grew rapidly, its grotesque roots spreading like veins across the battlefield. At the top, a massive, bewitching red flower bloomed—its petals unfurling slowly—as an enormous Sharingan opened within, staring straight at the descending moon.
Thick roots surged across the land like living serpents, covering the terrain. The bugs from Hatsuizumi tried biting through them, but the roots weren't just unfriendly—they absorbed the insects like fuel, draining them completely.
"Zixu! What the hell do we do now?!" Hatsuizumi voice cracked. Her panic was obvious. The moon was getting closer by the second.
Zixu closed his eyes. He focused. A familiar presence pulsed from the moon above. Chinano... it's all up to you now.
