Hello everyone,
First of all, thank you so much for reading this novel and staying with it until now.
Whether you joined early or discovered it midway, I am truly grateful that you chose to spend your time on this story.
With this chapter, the main storyline / main plot of the novel officially comes to an end. This can be considered the true and intended ending of the core story.
Although there will still be a few more chapters ( Side Stories ) released in the future, the central narrative has reached its conclusion here.

Why I chose this ending?
1) Personally, I feel that this is one of the best endings I could have written for this fan-fiction.
2) One thing I especially disliked in the Naruto series was how Naruto, despite achieving everything, became endlessly burdened—first by the village, then by politics, then by responsibilities so heavy that he couldn't even properly care for his own family.
I did not want Akira to walk that same path.
I didn't want him to be the strongest being alive, yet still chained forever to the role of a protector. Power without freedom felt meaningless.
That is why I thought to transfer the role of eternal guardian to Yatagarasu.
This idea became the foundation for the forbidden jutsu, the First Heaven, Second Heaven, all the way to the Tenth Heaven.
Yatagarasu now governs not only the ninja world, but also any future worlds connected to it.
Even if the Imperial council of shinobi were to fall, even if the living world collapsed, order would still exist—at least within the cycle of life and death.
The ninja world no longer depends on a single individual.
It will remain protected whether Akira is alive, dead, reincarnated, or traveling across worlds.
3) Another reason for this ending was his Mangekyo ability
Ashihara no Michi – the Path of a Thousand Steps.
This ability had immense potential, capable of bringing thousand future versions of Akira into the present. Yet throughout the novel, it was never truly used to its fullest extent.
I felt that if such a power existed, it deserved to be used once—properly, decisively, and at great cost.
That cost was Akira's Ōtsutsuki powers, his Rinnegan, Mangekyō, Sharingan—everything.
This was intentional.
Power without consequence feels hollow. As Akira himself stated, there had to be a price for using a forbidden path that defied heaven itself.
Because of that sacrifice, Akira is finally free.
He is no longer a god chained to responsibility. He is simply himself.

About the side stories
After completing the main plot, I discovered the Side Story function on the Inkstone (WebNovel) website.
Unfortunately, I didn't understand it well and thought that I should use this function.
{ Well, it was my curiosity}
When I clicked on it, it said that first I have to mark my novel as complete.
I marked the novel as Complete, which permanently locked further chapters.
That was entirely my mistake.
Now I am not able to post side stories or even normal chapters. 😭 😭😭 😭
Rather than going through lengthy support procedures, I decided on a simpler and cleaner solution:
👉 I will publish the side stories as a separate book with the same title.
There won't be many—approximately 5 to 10 chapters—but they will serve as meaningful extensions for those who wish to continue.

Planned side stories
Here's what I plan to write:
1) Akira's proposal and marriage to both Yamanaka Ino
2) Vivienne World Akira's POV — how the original Akira Uchiha feels after being revived in a world where another version of himself is worshipped as a god
3) 2–3 chapters about Akira's descendants, showing how they live and what kind of world they inherit
4) 2–3 chapters set far in the future, 1,000 or even 10,000 years later
5) Possibly an alternate or experimental ending—something a bit crazy, if inspiration strikes

Whether you continue with the extra chapters or leave here, I'm grateful that you were part of this journey.This novel exists because of readers like you.
Thank you for reading.
