Time flies, and years pass in a blink.
It is now May of the 73rd year in Konoha.
In the past year, Naruto and Sasuke, bearing the name of the Moon Palace, have been tirelessly fighting evil and upholding justice across the ninja world. They have earned great renown while fulfilling their mission as the guardians of the ninja world.
Hinata has also successfully awakened the Tenseigan, becoming a pseudo-Six Paths level ninja. However, she remains uninterested in these matters and continues her peaceful life. Thus, aside from Shishou, no one knows about her Tenseigan awakening.
At the same time, the first group of students who came to the Moon Palace for training, including Gaara, Ringo Ameyuri, Darui, Haku, and Kurotsuchi, have completed their three-year training period and were sent back to the ninja world by Shishou.
Before they left, Shishou instilled in them the philosophy of peace, urging them to learn from Naruto and Sasuke to maintain peace in the ninja world.
Shortly after returning to his village, Gaara succeeded as the Sixth Kazekage, determined to implement the Moon Palace's peace philosophy.
Kurotsuchi, after returning to her village, seized the position of the Fourth Tsuchikage with Deidara's help, taking over from the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki. Despite becoming the Tsuchikage, Kurotsuchi delegated all administrative duties to Onoki, focusing on her own training in sage techniques and occasionally sneaking off to Konoha or the moon.
After helping Kurotsuchi, Deidara did not return to the moon but instead joined the Akatsuki organization under Nagato, much to Shishou's surprise.
Darui and Haku, having grown significantly stronger, became the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village and the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, respectively. Their influence brought unprecedented peace to the ninja world.
Ringo Ameyuri, meanwhile, went to Konoha for unknown reasons.
Hanabi was left on the moon, continuing her training and waiting for her eyes to fully transform.
Thus, the moon now housed only Shishou, Hanabi, Temari, and Tenten.
After Tenten mastered the Flying Thunder God technique, she frequently traveled between the moon and the ninja world, bringing Ino and Sakura along to visit when she wasn't training in sage techniques.
During this time, Shishou also secretly awakened the Senju and Uchiha bloodlines in the women around him, using the life force collected from livestock, and instructed them to keep it a secret. He encouraged them to diligently practice sage techniques, laying the foundation for sage immortality.
Meanwhile, Shishou traversed the ninja world to collect chakra, preparing to transport it to the Genesis Space.
In this manner, time flew by.
...
Another two years passed, bringing the timeline to the 75th year in Konoha.
This year brought Shishou two pieces of good news.
First, Hanabi finally awakened the Tenseigan, dramatically increasing her strength. The Tenseigan, a special variation of the Byakugan in the Otsutsuki clan, possesses extraordinary space-time abilities, allowing the user to perceive and manipulate space.
Upon awakening the Tenseigan, Shishou further awakened Hamura's bloodline in Hanabi, enabling her to wield the power of the Tenseigan. Unlike typical awakenings, Hanabi retained the abilities of the Tenseigan and also gained the powers of the Tenseigan, with one eye becoming the Tenseigan and the other the Tenseigan.
Thus, Hanabi became another pseudo-Six Paths level ninja after Hinata, capable of wielding Truth-Seeking Balls.
After mastering her new abilities, Hanabi returned to Konoha to live with her sister Hinata.
The second piece of good news was that the Divine Tree Shishou had planted was finally bearing fruit.
Over the years, Shishou tirelessly collected various types of chakra from the ninja world: Dragon Vein chakra, sage chakra from the Three Great Sage Lands, chakra from the Underworld, Tailed Beast chakra, chakra gathered from different ninja villages, chakra from the Genesis Space, and chakra from the demon Moryo.
With these chakras and the acceleration provided by Shishou's Kōga Genbu, the Divine Tree he planted in the Genesis Space was finally ready to bear fruit.
Cultivating a Divine Tree to bear fruit, which usually takes millennia, in just a few years was a feat even the powerful Otsutsuki clan would consider impossible.
Yet, Shishou accomplished it, showcasing the terrifying potential of his Kōga Genbu ability, one of the reasons Kaguya coveted him as her own.
The Genesis Space.
In Kaguya's castle, the giant Divine Tree within the barrier was shaking violently, appearing extremely restless.
Standing before the Divine Tree, Shishou gazed at the massive fruit atop the tree, squinting slightly.
That fruit would grant him the powers of the Bloodline Web.
The Great Slug Sage approached Shishou and said, "The Divine Tree is eager to continue absorbing the sage energy in its environment but is restrained by your orders, making it very agitated."
Shishou shook his head, "We mustn't let it absorb any more. Otherwise, this sage training paradise will be completely ruined."
According to Kaguya, once the Divine Tree bears fruit, it loses an immense amount of chakra, making it frantically absorb energy from the planet to replenish itself, causing irreversible damage.
While Shishou wouldn't care if it were another planet, this was Kaguya's Genesis Space, crucial for his second Divine Tree fruit. He couldn't allow the Divine Tree to run wild.
The Great Slug Sage asked, "What should we do then? Continue to seal it with a barrier?"
After some thought, Shishou said, "I'll transfer it to the moon and directly pick the fruit."
The moon was lifeless and wouldn't threaten the ninja world, so anything could be done there.
With that, Shishou placed his hand on the Divine Tree, using his Kamui Rinnegan to open a space-time portal, transferring the Divine Tree away.
Transferring the Divine Tree to the moon, Shishou flew towards the giant chakra fruit atop it.
Sensing Shishou's intent, the Divine Tree shook violently, and countless massive wooden whips lashed out to stop him from picking its fruit.
Ignoring the attacking wooden whips, Shishou's body phased through them unharmed.
The next moment, Shishou reached the chakra fruit and plucked it.
