Author Note:
Hi, it's me, it's been a long time, hasn't it? How long ago was it since I republished the revised version for the Strongest Human? I thought long and hard about it, how some people were badmouthing my work and told me to just stop writing, which was one of the reasons I abandoned it. But after reading some fans messages, and how most of them wished to see more of it, I decided to ponder over it for a while and because of my beta reader, I finally decided to post it and give it another try. Be aware I haven't watch High School DxD nor reading the manga anymore, so this project will solely be written by my beta reader with me being the supervisor, adding a few things to the line and post the chapter under my penname. Yes, this is a collaborative work between me and Old Man of the Mountain / Darklord331. Before I end the author note, I hope everyone enjoy reading this fic, this will be a start of a long project, I hope it will receive positive feedback, if not...let's consider those reviews as critics for myself to become a better author, right? Hehe, here we go, I present you the revived version of the Strongest Human.

Chapter 1:
Uzumaki Naruto
BOOM!
BANG!
BOOOM!
As the echoes of the colossal clash reverberated through the mountainous terrain, the remnants of the explosions lingered in the air like ethereal echoes of a cataclysmic symphony. The orange, purple, and white lights, now fading to a gentle glow, hinted at the immense power that had just been unleashed. The once serene landscape was now scarred, with fissures running through the earth like jagged scars.
Amidst the settling dust and debris, the three luminous figures gradually descended. The orange and purple lights, still entwined in an ethereal dance, seemed to be recovering from the earlier deadlock. The white light, however, stood unyielding.
In a sudden surge of energy, the white light emitted a pulsating force that sent shockwaves through the surroundings. The orange and purple lights, caught in the tumultuous release, were forcefully expelled, hurtling away before crashing into the rocky crags of the mountain range with earth-shattering impacts.
BOOM!
Clouds of dust covered the area for a while, what felt like an eternity before a figure attempted to stand up.
As the dust began to settle, revealing the raw wounds inflicted upon the landscape, a lone figure stirred amidst the wreckage. "(PANT)(PANT)(PANT)...," echoed breaths of exertion and resilience. Slowly, figures began to emerge from the haze, battered and bruised but unmistakably familiar.
Naruto and Sasuke.
Both of them pant for a while as they stared up at the air, paying attention towards the one they were fighting against. A figure descended slowly from the air before floating above a few feets away from the duo.
She was a pale-skinned woman with soft facial features. She had extremely long, sweeping white hair grey in the anime. She possessed white clear eyes of the Byakuya clan,her eyebrows were cut very short and round, and she wore a red shade of lipstick on her lips. Two brown horns that stuck out from her head and a third eye formed in the centre of her forehead. She wore a high-collared hime-kimono which has tomoe running down the centre and edges of the gown and adorned with intricate gold and purple lines.
A pale-skinned woman, a manifestation of divine power, floated a few feet above the ground, her presence commanding the attention of even the battle-hardened warriors. Long, flowing white hair cascaded like a waterfall, while clear Byakugan eyes pierced through the remnants of the dissipating dust. Brown horns adorned her head, and a third eye, red sclerae and irides, with a ripple pattern spreading over the eyeball and nine tomoe.
Her hime-kimono, resplendent with tomoe and intricate gold and purple lines, marked her as the epitome of celestial authority.
The Progenitor of Chakra. Mother of Chakra and the mother of the Sages.
Kaguya Otsutsuki.
The concept of time lost its meaning in this relentless arena. What could have been minutes felt like eternities, and hours seemed like fleeting seconds. Days and weeks blurred into a continuum of ceaseless combat. The warriors themselves are adorned with the weariness that comes from an unyielding struggle.
"Sasuke…How much Chakra you have with you?" Naruto asked Sasuke.
"...barely enough…" Sasuke replied to Naruto with a grim face on his expression.
From the ethereal perch above, Kaguya's voice cut through the desolation like a cold wind, her proclamation echoing through the battered landscape. "You both are fools. Your chakra is only finite while mine is endless." Her words, devoid of emotion, fell like heavy stones, landing with a crushing weight upon the weary shoulders of Naruto and Sasuke. The air was thick with the scent of defeat, and the somber truth of their predicament hung in the balance.
Kaguya's stoic expression betrayed no hint of remorse or empathy as she continued her cruel assessment. "Soon your mortal bodies will break down, and there will be nothing but ashes." Her finger extended, pointing accusingly at the battered forms of Naruto and Sasuke.
Sasuke felt the sting of bitter acknowledgment as he surveyed the remnants of his once-boundless chakra. The relentless battle had drained them to the brink, leaving only the faint embers of their formidable powers. The six paths chakra, a source of immeasurable strength, now flickered like a dying flame, and the reserves they had relied upon were but a fading mirage in the harsh reality of their exhaustion.
Fatigue, a relentless adversary, seized their bodies with unyielding determination. Sasuke's muscles screamed in protest with every movement, and even Naruto, whose resilience seemed boundless, bore the visible signs of weariness. His breaths came in ragged gasps, each one a testament to the toll exacted by the ceaseless struggle.
Sasuke's pride rebelled against the admission, but he couldn't deny the inevitability of Kaguya's words. The Uchiha found himself humbled by the harsh reality of their limitations. It was a bitter pill to swallow, yet the weight of their dwindling strength pressed upon him like a mountain.
But Naruto's spirit refused to be extinguished. Blood trickled down his face, blinding his right eye, yet his voice resonated with a stubborn determination. "Say all you want….. Kaguya, but we're not done yet… Not until Kurama and every Biju are free... …and free everyone."
"Surrender yourselves and you will be spared from the endless pain. You will be joined among the others in paradise."
"PHTOO! F-Fuck you Kaguya, we'll…never be a part of the fake illusion world." Naruto spat out blood while glaring hatefully at Kaguya.
"Then die in a pathetic meaningless death."
At the corner of Sasuke's eyes, he saw a small portal opened behind Naruto's back. A small point sharp bone slowly comes out of the portal. Sasuke widened his eyes as it launched itself towards Naruto.
Without thinking, Sasuke ran towards Naruto, pushing him out of the way….
"NARUTO!"
….
…
….
….
…
SHING!
….Before being stabbed by the All-Killing Ash Bones.
The anguished cry, charged with a torrent of emotions, reverberated through the desolation like a mournful melody. Naruto's heart raced as he sprinted towards the fallen figure of his comrade, the battlefield now transformed into a somber stage for the unfolding tragedy. He knelt down by Sasuke's side, the weight of impending loss heavy in the air.
Naruto's senjutsu heightened his senses, allowing him to feel the ebbing life force slipping away from Sasuke. Desperation etched across his face, Naruto's hands trembled as they hovered over Sasuke's battered form. The pallor of death loomed, and Naruto sought to defy it, to snatch back the fragile threads of life slipping through his fingers.
Naruto initiated the process of healing, his hands glowing with a soft, ethereal light. Yet, as he attempted to channel life back into Sasuke, the bone's sinister influence fought back. The decay was relentless, and Naruto could feel the skin, cells, muscles, and tissues beneath his touch succumbing to the inexorable rot.
"D-Don't waste your chakra, D-dope," Sasuke rasped, his voice a fragile whisper carried away by the chilling wind.
"Hold on, Sasuke! Please! Just hold still-" Naruto's voice wavered with a mixture of despair and fervor.
"Naruto… please… don't waste your chakra on me… you barely have enough even to heal yourself," Sasuke urged, his words laced with a weary acceptance.
"SHUT UP! DON'T DIE! I DIDN'T GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO DIE! I MADE A PROMISE TO BRING YOU BACK TO THE VILLAGE, AND I WILL!"
"Heh… still the stubborn bastard you are… Uzumaki," Sasuke managed a weak, pained chuckle, the sound a poignant reminder of the friendship that had defined their journey. "Listen to me Naruto…. you're the only one who could….defeat Kaguya….I know you can."
"I can't Sasuke, not without you. Don't die, I need you."
"I can't….. beat her…you can…your the unpredictable Shinobi there is….heh…..I know you can do it Naruto…."
Sasuke entire body was almost disintegrating, cells started to float from Sasuke's body before turning into ashes. Placing both of his hands on Naruto, transferring the last remaining bits of Chakra within him.
"You will be….the Hokage….of Konoha…..I believe you will….be a great leader to…the village…..I know you can do it….my friend." Small tears runs down on Sasukes cheeks as he closes his eyes for the last time.
'Huh…..whats this I'm doing….what is this feeling…its…I'm smiling….'
Sasuke mentally said to himself while figuring out what was happening to him, even despite close to death he still smiles as he could feel death was coming to him.
In the throes of imminent death, Sasuke's self-discovery brought a poignant sadness. Despite the encroaching darkness, Sasuke found solace in the unexpected warmth of a smile, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit even in its final moments.
'Goodbye Naruto and thanks for…..being my friend…farwell…..my brother.'
The words, laden with an unspeakable finality, hung in the air like a melancholic melody. Naruto watched as his brother-in-arms, his once rival, faded into the embrace of eternity. Leaving tears streaming down Naruto's face.
Black Zetsu smirked, witnessing the death of the Uchiha brought joy and peace to his mind, seeing only one obstacle left.
Uzumaki Naruto!
The demon brat! The hero of the leaf!
Shall now die by his mother hands!
"In the end, you lost the bet, Hagoromo!" Black Zetsu cackled in his head, however he couldn't help but feels rather relentless.
Something's off.
But what is it?
Kaguya watched in silent, observing the shinobi as the Blonde stare at the deceased body of his best friend, as if time came to a standstill he was snared by guilt and overwhelmed by tremendous amount of sadness.
Everything became bleak as his passed promises resurfaced.
"Kaguya..." Naruto muttered the name in despaired, before closing his best friend eyes and growled angrily, red filled his eyes before the void in his heart was filled with emotions.
"This is...? " Naruto head jerked off at Sasuke body, noticing the chakra of the dead Uchiha circulating in the air, before hitting him in the stomach, the sun symbol engraved in his hand was eroded, as he could feel the burn taking over his right palm.
Black Zetsu however widened, before ushering his mother to finish him off.
"Mother! You must kill him now!"
It was a warning that was told a little too late, as the ground the shinobi stood cracked, before a shockwave traveled across the desolated land, the wind pushed Kaguya back slightly whilst Black Zetsu growled in disbelief.
'Hagoromo... That bastard!'
Naruto eyes were covered with dried tears as he stood up and glare at the progenitor of chakra, as if a pin dropped even Kaguya was petrified, the gaze he has reprimanded her of her own son.
Hagoromo...!
The golden coat on his body expanded, turning into something more magnificent as his form changed, his outfit is a flowing robe that billows around him like an ethereal cloak. Made of a fabric unseen in the mortal realm, it shimmers with a cosmic luster, adorned with intricate patterns that resemble celestial constellations. The robe is primarily a deep indigo, reminiscent of the night sky, with streaks of silver and gold that trace the contours of Otsutsuki clan symbols. Beneath the robe, Naruto wears a form-fitting tunic and pants, both crafted from a material that seems to absorb and reflect light in a mesmerizing dance. The tunic is a deep shade of black and his pants are cosmic silver, seamlessly blending with the overall celestial theme. A rinnesharingan on his right eye with the left was still his usual mixed with kurama senjutsu pupil, then he roared in rage.
"KAGUYA OTSUTSUKI!"
Naruto rushed forward, his feet caused the ground beneath him to shattered as a golden light traversed across the dimension within a fraction of second which Kaguya parties with her own hand, engaging Naruto in a close combat, struggling to get a footing, as she found herself being pushed backward.
The ground shattered with each of his punches, and the shockwave erupted from it destroyed their surroundings.
Black Zetsu clenched his lips, realizing the current awoken Kaguya won't be able to best Naruto at all.
'If this goes on, she will lose!' It growled in panic and anxiety, before he stepped in and brought a stalemate which shrouded Kaguya in his black form, protecting her like a shield which she used the chance to escaped by jumping into the fracture space behind her.
"Naruto! Calm down!" Kurama scolded as the nine tailed watched the blonde stood there, eyes flickering left and right trying to sensed her chakra ignoring Kurama altogether which caused the Biju to snarled.
The blonde then expanded his chakra, broadening his senjutsu mode and the moment Kaguya erupted from her space telepeortation his fist sailed towards her left cheek, sending the Goddess flying to the air which the impact caused her vision to blanked.
"Mother!"
Black Zetsu warned as Kaguya regained her senses and jumped to the portal however before she could fully entered it Naruto smashed himself in, his right foot sailing as it hit he goddess in the back of her head which the impact caused her to hit the ground.
The space around them then cracked as Naruto did a consecutive of punches that she wouldn't be able to retaliate at all.
Everything slows down between the two as she used her ash bone killing technique which literally exploded in front of Naruto, the bone structures however cracked before burned as the whole dimension is shrouded in black flames.
"Ametarasu."
His right eye bleed, as the ethereal black flames shrouded his body like an armor, mixed with Kurama mode nothing would be able to penetrate his skin.
Naruto stepped forward as he said.
"Multi shadow clone technique."
'Huh?' Black Zetsu widened as their vision was filled with golden light, pucnhing left and right, plummeting them through the fraction of space until Kaguya has enough as the whole space around them shattered, the vacuum of space suck the two in as their battles continued through space.
Their battle brought a calamity that caused the entire universe in jeaopary as the shinobi and Kaguya fought beyond their realm, uncaring nor unbotheted about the consequences from their battle.
Until Kaguya snapped her hand and pulled the shinobi through another portal, this time however Naruto destroyed it as he grabbed Kaguya arm and pulled her before sending her.
"Rasengan."
The ball of chakra smashed right on her face which she expanded her hands and pulled the blonde in, then the ash killing bone technique sproutsd out of her body, hitting the shinobi at point blank.
Until.
Poof.
'That bastard!' Black Zetsu snarled his body expanded, tanking the ultra massive rasengan.
"Bijuudama"
"?!"
Shock rippled through their beings as the massive bijuudama hurtled toward them from a distance. Its sheer magnitude overwhelmed Kaguya, pushing her to the brink as the absorbed chakra sent her control spiraling into chaos. In the near vicinity, the planets surrounding her disintegrated, exploding into cosmic dust, leaving her solitary form untouched amidst the celestial destruction.
"Mother!"
She couldn't gather her bearings as she found herself falling, Naruto seeing his chance flew towards the falling Kaguya, planning to seal her for good until the crack at the edge of the universe absorbed them.
"Ugh...!" Naruto groaned in confusion as he looked around him to see they were in abother voidless dimension, however this time the dimension has a mix of iridescent color, then his body screamed in pain as he looked at his chakra being eroded by the space around him.
Even Kaguya was struggling in place, yet she used this momentum to regain her bearings and smirked at him.
"My turn."
"Naruto! Get ready!" Kurama alerted as he sends a huge, tremendous amount of nature energy into the shinobi, as it strengthens his chakra causing him to be battle ready. "Finish her in ten minutes! Then we escaped from here!" Kurama said, noticing the fracture of space unable to recovered straight away from the impact of their battle.
Then another battle unleashed within the voidless dimension, unaware of the gaze they received from the distance as the being watched in anticipation and excitement.
To think another human that powerful exist is shocking, it brought a sense of curiosity, yet he realized the danger if the battle didn't exceed his expectation.
This woman... He realised the danger she poised, one that can wreck him havoc if he is too careless, but for now he shall watch, and witness the legendary battle.
The voidless space was torn apart, filled with craters every where as their battle exceeded the time limit Kurama has warned him.
He panted on the ground, realizing that exhaustion is getting into him, his eyes gaze across him to see the progenitor of chakra isn't in her best state either.
"Uzumaki Naruto!" Black Zetsu snarled as his consciousness was swallowed by the voidless dimension, his chakra dissipated in the air before being absorbed by Kaguya, leaving the progenitor of chakra to fend for herself.
Naruto took a step forward as the two reached each other, her ash killing bone technique eventually hit him as he was left with nothing but his torn jumpsuit, Kaguya smirked.
"I won...!"
Her self proclaimed victory however ended there as everything darkened and her body enlarged, before the remaining bijuu split into nine, leaving Naruto on the ground dying as he watch the sealing took place.
He could feel the ash killing bone technique getting into him whilst he gaze at the voidless sky.
"Naruto...just a bit... I'll try to find something to get us out of this predicament."
The shinobi chuckled and smiled at him.
"Don't worry, your freedom will arrive soon...it might take years, perhaps more than that, but no matter how long it takes, I want to thank you for everything since we won this war, right Kurama?"
The bijuu stare in disbelief, unable to do anything as but watch as death only a doorstep away.
"No... There's still more! The elemental nation still needs your help! You still haven't become a homage either..! Brat!" Kurama eyes widened, hearing nothing but the blonde tired breathing.
'For some reason... I feel at the most peace.'
There's no reason to regret the past since he did his job, but...if he could become far more stronger to prevent such tragedy again... He wished, he could save everyone.
"Sorry ma... Pa, it seems I'm going to see you guys soon... Sasuke thank you... And kurama... Be free..."
Naruto closed his eyes, before death took over him a brilliant colored of red filled his entire vision, and then...everything gone as everything became a peaceful silent.
Her tether chakra went awry, she then growled and ushered her teleportation to send the two away, not realizing the destination the woman was in.
"Where do you think you're going, Kaguya?" a voice, laced with both determination and desperation, pierced through the tumult of the churning chakra.
"?!" Kaguya's senses reeled as she felt an unexpected force grip her from behind, restraining her movements. A primal struggle ensued, her attempts to break free a futile dance against an unseen captor. With a mix of confusion and dread, she turned to confront her captor.
"You?!" Kaguya's eyes widened in genuine surprise as the realization hit her. Kakashi, the once-masked shinobi with a penchant for reading Icha Icha novels, now held her in an unyielding grip. The rocks around them began to gather, encasing the duo in a makeshift prison as the world seemed to crumble around them.
Mirroring the unraveling fate closing in.
"Let go of me! I command you to let go of me!" Kaguya's voice, a blend of anger and desperation, echoed through the chaotic tempest.
"Naaaahhhh, I don't think so, Kaguya," Kakashi responded calmly, his Sharingan eye reflecting the gravity of the situation. He clung to her with determination.
"You fool! Don't you realize what's happening? You'll be sealed along with me!" Kaguya's words rang with the ominous truth, a final warning of the impending cataclysm that threatened to consume them both.
"I know, and I honestly don't care," Kakashi spoke with a calm certainty that cut through the chaos. His words, carrying the weight of an irreversible decision, hung in the air. The rocks, their final enclosure, seemed to respond to the gravity of the moment.
"This is it for the both of us."
The realization echoed through Kaguya's being, her desperate struggle against the mortal's grip. Her protests filled the confined space as desperation clawed at her celestial facade.
"NO! NO! NO! I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS! YOU WILL BURN IN HELL FOR THIS, MORTAL! YOU'LL DIE HERE WITH ME!"
His thoughts turned inward, and Kakashi's gaze grew distant as he mentally addressed those who held a special place in his heart. 'Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Hiruzen, sensei, Obito, Rin. Don't worry, guys. I'll be there soon.'
Each name carried a weight, a connection to a past that was now closing in on its final chapter. Naruto, the indomitable spirit he had mentored; Sasuke, the comrade with whom he had shared both rivalry and friendship; Sakura, the steadfast companion who had weathered countless storms alongside them; Hiruzen, the wise leader whose teachings had shaped them all; sensei, the enigmatic force who had guided them through the shadows; Obito, the fallen friend whose redemption Kakashi had witnessed; Rin, the memory that lingered like a bittersweet echo of days gone by.
In the quiet recesses of his mind, Kakashi's farewell resonated with a profound sense of inevitability. The rocks sealed their shared fate, closing off the world outside.
Blood formed dark pools around his prone form. In the stillness that followed, Naruto, the Unpredictable Shinobi, Hero of the Hidden Leaf, jinchuriki of the Nine Tails, savior of the world, and Child of the Prophecy, lay sprawled on the unforgiving ground. The silence that enveloped him echoed the hollowness left by the absence of his vibrant spirit. Everything was silent as he laid there on the ground peacefully.

The eerie stillness that had settled over the desolate landscape shattered when an unexpected figure emerged—a colossal, crimson Western-style dragon. With a snout adorned with a menacing horn and two expansive sets of wings, this behemoth dwarfed any dragon from the annals of mythology. Its sheer size defied belief, looming over the terrain like a living mountain.
"Hmmmmmm, so this is where the energy was coming from." The dragon's deep, masculine voice reverberated through the air, sending shivers down the spines of any who dared to witness the awe-inspiring creature. It glided effortlessly over the space, moving its massive head with a deliberate grace that belied its immense size. The crimson scales on its body caught the dim light, giving it an otherworldly glow.
As the colossal dragon surveyed its surroundings, its gaze fell upon a gargantuan boulder, a celestial body in its own right, yet paling in comparison to the immense creature. The dragon narrowed its eyes, a glint of recognition flashing within its depths. Sensing the energy emanating from the monumental rock, its focus shifted to Naruto, who lay sprawled on the ground.
"Haaaaaa, so that's what I was sensing from. The three of you have made quite a mess around the multiverse. I could hear the space quake across thousands of dimensions apart. Imagine my surprise—it was caused by you three."
The dragon's voice, a symphony of fascination and subtle menace, echoed through the desolation, indifferent to the wreckage left in its wake. Great Red, the colossal crimson dragon, turned its massive head toward Naruto, a beacon of curiosity shining in its ancient eyes. In an instant, it decided to peer into the depths of Naruto's dreams, exploring the recesses of his mind.
Within the ethereal landscape of Naruto's dreamscape, an intricate tapestry unfolded—a vivid montage of his life, his accomplishments, his resolve, and his unyielding determination. Great Red traversed the corridors of Naruto's memories, witnessing the defining moments that had shaped the indomitable spirit lying before it.
The scenes flickered like ghostly projections. Naruto's earliest struggles, marked by loneliness and the relentless pursuit of acknowledgment, played out in the dream's tapestry. The moments of rejection and isolation were interwoven with flashes of determination, a tenacity that refused to bow to adversity.
As Great Red delved deeper, it witnessed Naruto's transformative journey from an outcast to a village hero. The triumphant shouts of comradeship, the unspoken bonds forged on the battlefield, and the unwavering resolve to protect those he loved resonated within the dream's vivid landscapes.
The dragon's ancient eyes narrowed as it observed the hardships etched on Naruto's face, a testament to the sacrifices he had endured. The dream revealed not just the victories but the scars that defined him—a poignant reminder that the hero's path was seldom without pain.
Yet, amidst the triumphs, the dragon discerned a lingering shadow—a whisper of unfulfilled dreams and the silent echoes of lost companions. The dream portrayed not just Naruto's victories but also the haunting specters of those who had fallen along the way.
As Great Red withdrew from Naruto's dreamscape, the echoes of the past lingered. The dragon, with a newfound understanding, regarded the prone hero with a mix of reverence and anticipation
"Naruto Uzumaki, never have I seen any mortals like you, much less someone who is the unpredictable Shinobi as you. Your chakra, it reminds me of someone," The dragon paused, pondering in sheer amusement at the audacity of the so called God of Shinobi. "Ah yes, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, I saw your will human, your present may end today, however…let this be your salvation, for I great Red shall bestow upon you mercy."
A sea of flames engulfed the fallen shinobi, shrouding around him like a blanket, consuming whole as his body was swallowed by, the Dimensional Gap became a witness to a creation of a supreme being as the flame ignited brilliantly, its light radiantly swept across the pristine dimension, as the world trembled upon its might, his act of mercy that reshape the shinobi's origin, his past and future intertwining with each other, the structure of humans was decoded, splitting to atoms, reconnecting bit by bit, as it became whole, the genetic information was transferred, reshaping his body anew, like a phoenix that rises from its ashes he too shall be reborn as one that carried upon his will.
As the radiant light gradually faded, Great Red fixed his intense gaze upon the slumbering infant. The tiny form, so delicate and fragile, rested peacefully in the colossal claws of the ancient dragon. The ethereal flames that had enveloped the newborn continued to flicker, creating a protective barrier against the coldness of the Dimensional Gap. It was an extraordinary sight—an infant defying the very rules set by this enigmatic dimension, a living testament to the unique heritage coursing through his veins, a blend of godly essence and dragon blood.
A subtle smirk etched across the dragon's face as he carefully cradled the child. Ascending to the sky, Great Red soared deeper into the dimensional abyss. His colossal wings beat against the currents, carrying him toward the inner sanctums of the ethereal expanse.
"I shall be a witness to the destiny you may bring within this game of chess, Uzumaki Naruto," Great Red declared, his words resonating through the currents of space and time, an oath etched into the very fabric of existence.
Turning his attention to the colossal stone sphere that imprisoned Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra, Great Red approached it with a purposeful stride. His eyes narrowed, a silent acknowledgment of the consequences that awaited her. With a firm grasp on the massive sphere, he opened a portal—an abyss of infinite darkness. It was a fitting punishment, a bottomless void where Kaguya would remain isolated, a danger to none across the dimensions.
With a powerful heave, Great Red cast Kaguya's prison into the bottomless void, sealing her away from the realms of existence. The portal closed behind her, leaving only the echoes of her imprisonment reverberating through the cosmic expanse.
Turning his attention back to the infant Uzumaki, the dragon opened another portal—a rift into the depths of the Dimensional Gap. With the utmost care, he gently placed the sleeping child on the threshold before closing the portal. It was a transition from the extraordinary to the mysterious—a journey that marked the beginning of Naruto Uzumaki's destined path.
As Great Red disappeared into the depths, the cosmos itself seemed to stir in acknowledgment. The significance of this rebirth echoed through the vast expanse, leaving a lingering anticipation—an unspoken acknowledgment of a destiny yet to unfold. The Dimensional Gap embraced its newfound resident, cradling the infant Uzumaki in the tapestry of cosmic possibilities, a silent observer of the intricate game of fate that had just begun.
