Chiyu's heart couldn't help but tremble.

A Rinnegan-exclusive dōjutsu!

Every shinobi who awakens the Rinnegan on their own gains a unique power like this.

Just as Mangekyō Sharingan users each possess different eye techniques,

Nagato's Six Paths of Pain are, within the Rinnegan hierarchy, merely the basic abilities.

Because he did not awaken the Rinnegan by himself, he could only employ those fundamental powers and never obtained a new ability unique to him.

Uchiha Madara, by contrast, had Limbo: Border Jail.

Uchiha Sasuke, after receiving Six Paths power, obtained the special ocular art Amenotejikara.

And as for Chiyu himself…

"Takamagahara, huh?

I remember that in myth it is the supreme realm among the Three Worlds where the gods dwell— in other words…

a divine domain.

I wonder what its concrete ability is…"

Takamagahara: Centering on the Rinnegan wielder, an absolute territory is generated within a set range, named… the Divine Kingdom!

Within this Divine Kingdom, you are the King of the Gods!

You possess the power to control, dominate, erase, and create every law of heaven and earth!

Activating Takamagahara consumes an enormous amount of chakra and has a time limit.

The number of laws you can rule grows with ocular power. At present the single absolute law you dominate is… space.

Chiyu's mind surged.

Takamagahara!

A Divine-Kingdom field!

Power to dominate every rule absolutely!

This was practically invincibility.

Yet there were restrictions: vast chakra consumption, limited duration, and—at his current eye strength—total dominion only over space inside a certain radius.

Still, in the Naruto world, space-time abilities are eternally supreme!

With a god-level dōjutsu like this, even against Kaguya Ōtsutsuki he could still fight!

Chiyu immediately began testing.

He snapped his eyes open again.

His pupils were now neither Eternal Mangekyō nor a plain Rinnegan, but—

Three-Tomoe Rinnegan!

An eye bearing both Sharingan and Rinnegan powers.

From now on he would never need to switch modes; any ocular art could fire instantly without delay—alone this raised his power immensely.

But that was only the foundation.

Silently he intoned:

"Takamagahara.

Divine Kingdom…

Unfold!"

In an instant—

Vmmm—

A tremor in the void rang out, and within a 300-meter radius everything became Chiyu's absolute domain.

He sensed that space itself inside this Divine Kingdom was like a sheet of paper he could crumple and knead at will.

His first test was the most extreme command:

"Annihilate!"

At once—

Within that spherical 300-meter space, everything except Chiyu himself vanished in a single instant, space collapsing entirely into nothingness.

It was not darkness, not emptiness—

It was absolute void.

What power was this?!

Even Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, inside this field, would be erased along with the collapsing space and forced out of existence!

(Granted, Kaguya's true immortality might allow her to revive, but no other life-form could survive.)

Chiyu let out a long breath.

With this ability he was truly unrivaled.

From Ōnoki's viewpoint…

Chiyu's Rinnegan light shot forth, and the surrounding space crumbled and turned into void—ground, air, everything within 300 m simply disappeared!

Ōnoki was dumbstruck.

His Dust Release only disintegrated matter into atoms—but Chiyu erased space itself!

This… this surpassed the gods; it was the power of a creator!

At that moment Ōnoki completely submitted.

Schemes and negotiations are meaningless before a real god.

Chiyu's lips lifted as though playing with a new toy.

He willed, and the annihilated space was restored—though all things erased within it were gone forever.

His figure then flickered freely throughout the Divine Kingdom, teleporting without limit—speed inconceivable.

Even the Flying Thunder God needs marks; without a mark you must hurl a tagged kunai before jumping.

Takamagahara needs none.

Compared with Amenotejikara, Chiyu likewise could swap the positions of two objects instantaneously—but only inside his Divine Kingdom.

Yet Amenotejikara's range is far smaller!

Likewise he could make the farthest distance unreachable for an enemy—or shrink thousands of miles into a single step for himself.

Finally, with one thought he created a space-time gate inside his Divine Kingdom.

Upon stepping through, the whole shinobi world's space-time unfolded like a map before him.

If the exit was a place he'd seen or been to, arrival was near-instant; unfamiliar places required a brief selection—but it was still teleportation.

Finished testing, Chiyu exhaled deeply.

His power had reached the summit.

Except for Six-Paths-class beings, no one was worthy to fight him, and even they could be suppressed.

And this was only the Three-Tomoe Rinnegan; Takamagahara currently ruled space alone…

Once he awakened more—gravity, mass, time, even life and death—his Divine Kingdom would become a true realm of gods.

When that kingdom spread across the ninja world, peace would be absolute and he would become—

King of All Gods.

…

Chiyu, satisfied, glanced at the utterly stupefied Ōnoki.

"Ōnoki, have the shinobi troops clean the battlefield, then withdraw to Iwagakure.

No tricks—you know the consequences."

Ōnoki forced a bitter smile and answered firmly, "Yes, Hokage-sama. I will comply.

But you must come with me. Leave the rest to Kurotsuchi."

"…Very well, Hokage-sama."

Ōnoki looked back at his son.

Kurotsuchi dared not disobey. "Father, I understand…"

Chiyu's Three-Tomoe Rinnegan flared.

Takamagahara—Divine Kingdom, unfold!

The next instant he and Ōnoki vanished.

Kurotsuchi, Akatsuchi, and the Iwa shinobi exchanged looks, then sighed.

"Clean the field and… retreat!"

"…Yes."

…

Using Takamagahara, Chiyu flashed to the other battlefronts.

First: the front against Kumogakure.

There the Hyūga-led Konoha army was stationed; Chiyu had also sent the Ino-Shika-Chō trio to reinforce them.

All fronts had ignited at nearly the same moment—strategy of the so-called Anti-Chiyu Alliance to overwhelm him.

But before his shadow clones dispersed they had already slain many village elites, rendering the plan meaningless.

Now—

Chiyu and Ōnoki arrived.

Ōnoki's sight blacked out—next moment he saw Chiyu expand a 300-meter Divine Kingdom glowing faintly gold, placing them squarely on the Konoha–Kumo battlefield.

"So this really is… a space-time jutsu?

Like Flying Thunder God, yet it needs no mark…"

Cold sweat drenched Ōnoki. With such power, the entire shinobi world lay in Chiyu's palm.

On the field the fight raged.

Kumogakure's forces were the strongest in the world even without the Fourth Raikage, Killer Bee, or the new Raikage Yugito; their numbers and quality were unmatched.

Expecting the Hyūga clan alone to resist a whole village was nearly impossible—a sign of Konoha's low ebb.

But Chiyu's shadow clones had slaughtered many enemy elites, and Ino-Shika-Chō soon arrived; Shikaku's strategy and the trio's coordination, plus the Hyūga's insight, gradually turned the tide.

Boom—

Chiyu's landing unleashed towering chakra and ocular power.

Everyone, ally and foe, sensed the overwhelming might.

"What… is that…"

Konoha shinobi looked back, then cheered. "Hokage-sama is here! We're saved! You're finished now!"

Shikaku Nara and Hiashi Hyūga felt a warmth surge inside—victory was certain.

Kumogakure, however, was seized by terror.

Leaders Samui, Darui, Mabui, Toroi felt their hearts sink—they could hardly imagine what this meant…

Chiyu descended at the battle's hottest point.

A Shinra Tensei blasted the entire scrum apart, flinging friend and foe outward—he used only a fraction of power, separating them without killing.

"It's over," Chiyu declared coldly, voice like iron.

Darui, stunned and trembling: "What about Raikage-sama?"

Chiyu: "Dead."

Shock swept the field.

"W-what?!"

Darui and Mabui went pale with despair. "Even the Fifth Raikage…"

At this moment Ōnoki knew it was his cue.

He rose and spoke like a final judge:

"Kumogakure shinobi… Hokage-sama is right. All is over.

The Anti-Chiyu Alliance lies in ruins.

Kazekage Rasa, Mizukage Yagura, and your new Raikage Yugito Nii all fell to Hokage-sama!"

Gasps rocked both armies.

"One man killed three Kage?!"

"Even the mighty Tsuchikage Ōnoki submits—it's true…"

But that was only the start.

Ōnoki continued: "Not only that—Hokage-sama slew the Akatsuki leader, bearer of Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan—Pain!

And even when Orochimaru's Edo Tensei summoned the God of Shinobi, First Hokage Hashirama Senju…

he too fell before Hokage-sama!"

The battlefield erupted.

"A Rinnegan god-tier foe and the First Hokage… both lost?!"

"It proves Hokage-sama is the strongest ever!"

Kumogakure shinobi were paralyzed; morale crashed to the abyss.

Chiyu had brought Ōnoki precisely to crush enemy spirit, and the sly old fox delivered—Konoha morale soared while Kumo's utterly collapsed.

Darui stared up helplessly.

"Tsuchikage-sama… so Iwagakure has wholly surrendered to Konoha?"

Ōnoki: "What else? You think you, Darui, can resist Hokage-sama?"

Darui was speechless; he was far below even the Raikage, let alone Chiyu.

Samui, Mabui, Toroi had no answer.

Though they wished to rebel, surrender was the only path—yet Kumogakure's hatred for Chiyu ran deep.

Ōnoki pierced their thoughts.

"Hmph. Was Iwagakure not once your mortal enemy? Yet you allied against Hokage-sama, did you not?

Right and wrong, love and hate—this world is merely a game of power and interest.

Do you still not see?"

All eyes turned to Darui.

Though young, he had been groomed as successor; with Yugito dead, he was Kumo's core.

Darui, normally lazy and carefree, now felt a mountain's weight.

"I…"

He finally inhaled, shook his head, and dropped his sword.

Clang—

As though a boulder struck every heart.

"I surrender…"

Mabui and the rest exchanged looks; hope was gone.

"So do we…"

Weapons clattered across the field.

Kumogakure… submitted completely.

Chiyu's face remained calm—this was inevitable. Those who refused had another fate.

With a word, Shikaku, Hiashi and others stepped forward to detain Kumo's elite.

Chiyu looked at Darui. "You, come with me."

There were two more fronts to visit.

The outcome was set.

Unifying the four great villages was now only one step away.
