Naruto: Back in Ancient Times

Title: Interlude

...

In a majestic castle perched upon a planet nestled in a distant galaxy, three extraordinary beings gathered in a chamber resonating with pure Chakra energy. Kaguya, Ria, and Hinami, each embodying the essence of goddesshood in their unique ways, gathered amidst opulent surroundings that mirrored the celestial splendor of their realms.

Kaguya, the ancient progenitor of chakra and cosmic power, exuded a regal aura as she stood at the heart of the chamber. Her flowing robes bore patterns reminiscent of celestial bodies in distant constellations. Her presence alone seemed to command the elements.

Ria, a goddess of cosmic harmony and scientific enlightenment, sat with grace and purpose beside Kaguya. Being a wielder of the forces of magnetism on a cosmic scale, shaping stars and galaxies were but a trifle matter to her.

Hinami, now a harbinger of cataclysmic annihilation, her powers harnessed and perfected from the raw essence of explosions. Each movement echoed a potential for devastation, the very touch of her divine power capable of unraveling the fabric of existence itself.

As the three goddesses conversed, Kaguya suddenly paused and frowned. This little gesture was noticed by the other two who then inquired on what was wrong.

"My Chakra..." Kaguya said with a thoughtful look.

"Your... Chakra?" Ria asked, confused at what she was talking about while Hinami merely raised an eyebrow.

"The Ten-Tails...my original chakra has been Awakened." Kaguya said after a short and thoughtful pause.

"Oh? Exactly as Shun said?"

"Surprisingly." Kaguya nodded with a smile. "That means one thing."

"He's coming back."

"Yeah, too bad we'd have to leave all this behind." Ria said forlornly. They had spent a good part of their lives in this galaxy they named the Nova Celestia.

New Celestia or New Heaven. That was what they named the entire galaxy. It was meant to be their home in this vast Universe. A home away from home.

"We can always bring it with us..." Hinami said. "Worse comes to worst, we'll just ask Shun to take it into his world...so..? Are we going back?"

"Hmm..." Kaguya thought for a while before shaking his head. "We're too powerful to actually enter the Planet. Shun's seal made sure of that."

"Yeah, I could only send down an Avatar back then, and even then, I was still weakened proportionally." Ria said with a wry smile.

"That was because you went to play when Shun forbade us from interfering with the world." Hinami snorted.

"Heh, says the one who went down as soon as she felt a speck of her father's chakra."

"I projected myself into her dream. That's different from going down personally." Hinami countered.

"That's an Avatar...An Avatar. It had less than one percent of my power." Ria said before she huffed. "and for some reason, all attack power was nullified. The audacity."

"That's Shun's punishment for you." Kaguya said before closing her eyes, the next moment however, her Rinne-sharingan was opened and the space in front of her was torn apart.

"I'll be sending over my consciousness. That abominable Monoshiki sent an entire battalion of scouts to find out Shun's origin. They're probably scouring the galaxy as we speak."

"No...not probably, they are. Ria and I found a couple of them a while back. They stumbled across this place during their search and wanted to harvest a couple planets." Hinami said

"Huh? Why didn't I know about this?" Kaguya frowned.

"You were submerged in that pool of yours." Ria said with a snort.

"Hey... It's not mine. I only siphoned a portion of the Universal Sands of Time into my courtyard...hmm, that makes it mine I guess." Kaguya said. "Anyways, what happened to them?"

"Oh, they're gone. We wiped their memories and sent them on their way." Ria said nonchalantly.

"Oh... anyways. I have a feeling I would meet a few interesting people on this trip...my children included." Kaguya said before a flash of light shot from her eyes into the Portal.

Seeing this, Hinami and Ria looked at each other before shrugging and going about their respective hobbies.

Meanwhile, Kaguya arrived right above Earth's atmosphere as soon as Madara completed the Ten-Tails Chakra and had been observing. She had been impressed by Gai's showing but shook her head at his primitive use of the technique.

She had then watched Naruto and Sasuke's initial clash with Madara and had also been impressed by his unique Limbo technique. She quickly surmised that Madara had gained access to a unique dimension similar to Shun's Mirror dimension.

She wasn't particularly surprised by Naruto and Sasuke's ability to feel and see through this dimension as with the Six Paths power, that much was possible.

The Uchihas were a clan that inherited the Six Paths Chakra in its essence.

(A/N: In the Original, Indra Inherited Hagoromo's Chakra while Ashura inherited his spiritual Energy)

This gave the Uchihas the ability to tap into any dimension strongly related to their core desire at the point of awakening. This enabled them to tap into and have access to dimensional ability.

Like the Amaterasu. Unlike popular belief that it was a technique that gave the user an unquenchable fire, it was actually a technique that gave its user a key to a dimension filled with pure yin flames.

That was the reason behind the portal-like view whenever it was used. It appeared as though the flames burst out from a totally different space. The same applied to the Kamui of Obito, Absolute Mental Domination of Shisui, Absolute Reflection of Izumi, Space and Time domination of Sasuke.

Mind you, Sasuke's Space and Time Domination appeared in the fast and slow perception in one eye, and the minor teleportation in the other.

Anyways, Kaguya could already tell that Madara already had a dimension of his own, similar to her five other dimensions. Her Lava, Ice, Poison, Gravity and Desert Dimensions were things she developed after years under her seal.

Madara has just gained access to his first dimension, that was why he was still under pressure from the kids' teamwork.

Although a part of the reason behind this could be due to his lack of control in using the Ten-Tails Chakra and the lack of his other Rinnegan.

She continued to observe, up until Madara retrieved his other Rinnegan and rained down meteors on them. She couldn't help but nod appreciatively at the sight.

It was truly an amazing sight, nearing her [Wood Release: World Tree] but not really reaching it. She had managed to capture and kill close to seventy percent of the World's population back then.

Madara's, although majestic in its destructive might, was still destructible. Perhaps it had to do with the lack of Shinobi in her time? 'Hmm. Food for thought.' she thought and dismissed the possibility.

In next to no time, Madara flew up to the surface of the moon and pulled away the bony-like structure that covered his forehead. With a triumphant smile, he looked up to the moon and then activated the Technique that would have released her had she been sealed.

[Mugen Tsukuyomi!]

Kaguya couldn't help but smile a bit as she thought about the irony of it all. This was all she had imagined and more a couple years after her sealing. The sight of returning to take back what was supposed to be hers.

Feeling the measly Chakra Fluctuations emitted by Madara, she couldn't help but shake her head. 'I really was young back then.' She thought as she flew a pull on her consciousness. She knew what it was. The Seal placed to separate her physical shell and Chakra was torn asunder at this instant. All she needed now was…to be tethered…and that tether was…Zetsu.

'Hmm.' She thought as she continued observing, she wanted to know how Zetsu would go about restoring the connection between the two, however something, or someone immediately caught her attention.

'Shun?' She thought as she directed her sights towards him. In that same Instant, Shun, who spread his arms in welcoming the breaking of the seal, turned to her and smiled.

Although he was currently wearing a blindfold, Sight didn't really depend on the eyes when you reach a certain Level of power.

'Take it easy on the kids.' Shun projected his voice to her causing her to roll her eyes.

'Kids? Which of them?' She projected back.

'Huh? All of them…I suppose.' Shun said, sounding confused.

'...' Shun could feel the deadpan expression she was wearing from her silence causing him to continue. 'I suppose you mean Madara…he's a good kid, only misled.'

'Hmm. I will ensure he doesn't die.' Kaguya said succinctly as the connection between the two was cut. She didn't really appreciate this Shun as she felt he was a knock-off of her husband and Shun knew this.

Shun however, didn't really care about this and turned to the Moon that was still exuding its blinding light. This light was all that was needed to cast this Planetary Level Jutsu. Thankfully, the alterations he had made to the Seal Hamura made centuries ago ensured that all humans won't really be ensnared by the light.

Shun had the idea of having every living human bear witness to the Coming of Kaguya. It was only through this that they would understand the importance of Power. Naruto and Sasuke's to be more important.

Shun didn't really like how the two were treated in the Boruto Timeline. It was annoying to say the least, also, he also had this idea of having the Humans experience the same thing the humans in the God Of High School World experienced.

To have Gods and Demons of varying power levels visit and war against you…This is the only way True Heroes will be appreciated after all this is over.

In next to no time, the light died down
