Godzilla In Konoha

Chapter 542: The Grand Finale

Time is erasing old scars.

But scars will remain where the damage was worst, a stark reminder of painful memories.

Yuuji's battle to kill Ghidorah had a massive impact. Countless planets that should have continued on their stable orbits have quietly veered off course, some crashing into stars, others colliding with different planets.

More and more people and monsters are aware of the aftermath of this great war, which is gradually spreading to the entire universe.

For many technological civilizations, this cataclysm is incomprehensible. They speculate that perhaps some highly advanced technological civilization sparked a prolonged interstellar war, shattering the dimensions of time and space.

Their scientists are baffled, unable to comprehend what level of technological power could achieve this.

Presumably, technologies such as stellar cannons, black hole weapons, and curvature navigation have all been mastered for a long time.

These civilizations aspire to become new superpowers, yet they still face a terrifying filter: deadly battles with monsters born on their home planets.

Yuuji, however, has no interest in altering this rule. He spends more time and energy on healing, indifferent to these lower civilizations.

Yuuji no longer concerns himself with their survival or destruction. At his level, he no longer seeks out or destroys them; there's no need.

At some point, the construction of a super tunnel connecting the two universes has been completed.

A terrifying group can now travel between these two universes at some cost.

The Monsterverse isn't so bad, and Yuuji occasionally likes to visit Earth to see how Planet Godzilla is managing his planet.

Despite being smarter and evolved many times, Godzilla is still dismissive of Yuuji, apparently still holding a grudge for past grievances.

"This guy, I guessed it right, he is really a small-minded guy, and he still hates what I did to him... He is obviously an old guy over 20,000 years old."

Yuuji looks at Godzilla's silhouette, shaking his head.

During the Fourth War in the other universe, he didn't hesitate to extract power from Godzilla forcibly.

Not to mention, just one Six Paths: Planetary Devastation that he used to seal it probably left a lasting impression.

But Yuuji had no choice then; when Godzilla was mainly driven by instinct, its consciousness was often overwhelmed by primal urges.

A reasonable discussion was out of the question, and Yuuji couldn't kill it outright.

However, considering Godzilla's origins, being over 20,000 years old might still make it juvenile.

After all, it's a child of a planet, and planets typically have lifespans spanning billions of years.

In normal development, even if Godzilla couldn't live as long as its parent planet, living millions or tens of millions of years was plausible.

"This guy, I was thinking of studying its nuclear fusion organs by entering its body... But never mind, I'll tour other technological civilizations instead."

Kabuto stands behind Yuuji, sighing regretfully.

"What's the use? You're not native to this universe, why waste so much time on the power system here." Kazue scoffs dismissively.

"You don't understand; technology is interesting. Some research and development principles and ideas seem to be common in every universe. If we discover a new universe in the future, we will definitely be able to use it."

Kabuto counters, now thoroughly engrossed in technology.

Technology is indeed beyond his imagination.

Who would have thought that such weak and short-lived humans could unite, each studying different fields, and establish a powerful civilization?

Kabuto couldn't have imagined such a scenario in the ninja world, where the strongest being was only a Jonin or a Chunin. It would have been laughable.

Now, his worldview has been turned upside down.

Exploring different universes and observing groups growing under different universal rules helps broaden perspectives and thinking.

Kazue doesn't understand.

What technology? It was just a fancy thing that she could chop down with a single slash.

Furthermore, the strongest development route in this universe is obviously the monster route.

Ghidorah is a prime example. Though defeated by Yuuji, Ghidorah wasn't weak. It was just unfortunate to face Yuuji, a unique anomaly. Against Kazue and others, Ghidorah would have likely won.

Yuuji watches the pair quarrel but doesn't mind.

A little quarrel now and then isn't wrong.

Yuuji stands up and walks into the cosmic tunnel.

"Really speaking, when it comes to researching technology, biotechnology is the way to go."

Yuuji walks through the tunnel, smiling.

Indeed, the construction of this cross-universal tunnel was mainly maintained by his power.

More precisely, by countless versions of himself, forming the tunnel.

Yuuji alone equals countless selves, capable of infinite replication. If he pursued a biotechnological path, it would undoubtedly be the unique ace across both universes.

...

Chakra Universe.

Yuuji returns here again.

The flesh-and-blood planet returned to its rightful place.

Many individuals trained in chakra and natural energy are engaged in strenuous practice.

"The universe over there is engaged in human technology and monster nuclear fusion, and here is chakra and natural energy..."

Yuuji lands on the planet's surface, walking across his world.

His vision already penetrates everything; his clones are omnipresent, and his thoughts spread into every individual's mind.

All things are within his grasp, all beings but a thought away.

Bang, bang, bang!

The sound of fighting came from ahead.

"Here they go again; these two are troublesome..."

"Obviously they can fight for hundreds of millions of years in the Tsukuyomi world and destroy it at will, but these two uncles refuse to do it and insist on fighting in reality."

"Doesn't anyone care? Look at what they've done to Yuuji-sama's planet."

"Yuuji-sama wouldn't care about this minor damage. And who, other than these two, is strong enough to bother?"

"Forget it; I'm going to find a tree to hang, so as not to be killed by these two people in my sleep and affect my practice."

Some complain as they leave, searching for distant giant trees to hang from, closing their eyes, and entering dreams.

Naruto and Sasuke are fighting fiercely.

"Naruto! I'll win this time!" Sasuke is exhilarated, reveling in the thrill of beating Naruto again.

"Nonsense! Your Six Paths power is all drained by me. You're no longer a Six Paths being. How can you win against me?"

Naruto controls the True Several Thousand Hands and a horde of Wooden Dragons and Wooden Men, aggressively confronting Sasuke.

Across from him, Sasuke controls a massive Susanoo, clashing head-on.

Far away, a group of onlookers comments.

"Boring to death. I don't understand what these two are doing."

"Right, knowing they can't kill each other, yet they keep doing this nonsense, ridiculous."

Indra and Asura are tempted to join, but after looking at their grandmother, they immediately calm down and start talking loudly.

"..."

Kaguya watches silently; the world has become unrecognizable to her.

Since being defeated by Yuuji, what this former Rabbit Goddess has experienced was too exciting.

The God of Chakra was killed, then traversed universes to slay another universe-level god.

Kaguya's mind is numb; she prefers to lay low and doesn't want to think.

"Hmm?"

Kaguya suddenly looks around but finds nothing.

After a moment of hesitation, Kaguya turned around again. She didn't want to care about anything. She was tired.

"These people are really energetic."

Yuuji finds a spot to sit, watching the ceaseless conflicts of these two from afar.

The world has changed, things have changed, but people are still the same people as before.

Just as the destiny of Planet Godzilla lies in the Monsterverse's Earth.

The destiny of these people lies here.

Occasionally reminiscing, Yuuji can vaguely remember that the story was supposed to start with the entanglement between these two, but such is the unpredictability of life.

Old traces will eventually fade away, and new trajectories have already led to new life.

Yuuji watches for a while, then looks around.

He remembers sitting here many times, whether during the ninja era or the era of flesh-and-blood ear.

This place, once known by a name everyone would recognize—

Konohagakure, the Hokage Rock.
