Chapter 639: River of Souls
A/N:- Another milestone of 600 chapters. This story has come a long way, either in a good way or a bad way; I don't know since it's for you readers to decide. But I will give it my all. Perhaps I am not a good storyteller but I at least tried. So, please forgive me for my mistakes.

Whoosh...
When the massive hand was about to cover the entire Redaku island,
KABOOM!
A beam of light pierces through the dark sky of the shinobi world, bringing it with a blazing ray of light.
BOOM...
The ray of light pierces through the body of the massive Susanoo, dispersing it into motes of light. Several thousand motes of light scatter across the sky, dispelling the looming darkness and suppressing the terrifying aura.
"Nii-san!"
The glow in Ayaka's eyes vanishes, and the blue barrier protecting the entire island disperses. Ayaka falls unconscious.
"AYAKA!"
Akira and Aiko quickly support her.
The six strange eyes floating around Ayaka rise in the air and shoot through space, leaving a blue trail of energy.

On the battlefield,
Seiryū holds the Gōhei in his hand and throws it towards Shutendōji.
"Another artifact with purifying powers?!" He glances at the incoming Gōhei and sees through its nature with a single gaze.
"Useless effort!"
He ignores the Gōhei since it doesn't pose a threat to him.
However, the Gōhei instead of striking Shutendōji, flies past him and collides with the small nebula-like orb levitating behind him.
Bang...
A powerful explosion occurs as the Gōhei releases all of its power and disintegrates into white light.
A barrier envelopes Shutendōji and blocks the light. There is not even a ripple on the barrier from the attack.
Suddenly, the expression of Shutendōji, who was about to grab the entire Donut Island, changes. He raises his head and glances at the sky of the shinobi world.
A gigantic sigil of the Dharma wheel shrouds the entire dimension. Another layer of Chaos wheel stacks on top of the Dharma wheel.
"Hmm... this aura!" Shutendōji's expression changes slightly.
Bzzt... crackle...
Black and white lightning flicker between the two wheels. The gates of universal balance open to reveal a massive lance of light. The lance travels at light speed and penetrates through Shutendōji's massive Avatar.
The powerful laws within the lance, erase the metaphysical concept of Avatar, destroying it.
BANG...
The nebulae-like orb behind Shutendōji shatter and a figure flies out of it. The two massive dharma wheels in the sky appear behind him.
Izuna opens his eyes to reveal a sigil of a Dharma wheel with eight spokes in his right eye and another sigil of a chaos wheel with eight arrows in all directions in his left eye.
'Second time?!'
"Ah! I remember now." A memory that was buried deep within the depths of his memory's surfaces.
'This is my second life! I have already died once and reincarnated.'
Izuna recalls his first experience of dying and then aimlessly wandering across the river of reincarnation, waiting for a second chance at life.
"Looks like I failed!" More memories surface in his mind.
"Don't fail again!" Izuna glances at the river of reincarnation and mutters to himself.
"Time is a river with many eddies. I have seen its headwaters. And I have seen its currents reach the sea. I have seen its vortexes, and I have felt its flow. Nothing is eternal, not even the..." A shadow detaches from his soul and vanishes into the river of time flowing with the river of reincarnation.
"A lingering memory! An obsession with the past!" The faint whispers of souls turn coherent for an instant.
Izuna closes his eyes and drifts alongside the river of reincarnation.
After an indefinite period, he regains consciousness.
"Where am I?"
Izuna slowly opens his eyes and looks at the vast stretch of whiteness in his vision.
"This looks familiar!" He chuckles.
"So, is this another setting where I reincarnate again, but this time in a different world?" He shakes his head.
"Let's see who will I meet this time?" He turns his head around.
"AH!"
A young, beautiful, fair-skinned girl with thigh-length navy blue hair tied in two messy low pigtails with a square fringe hanging just above her crystal blue eyes stares into Izuna's eyes.
Izuna's facial expression freezes and the words that he is about to speak are stuck in his mouth.
"So, this is your real appearance!"
The girl moves closer to him, her nose almost touching his. Her crystal blue staring into his soul.
"AH!"
Suddenly, the girl slips and her head slams into his forehead.
Bang...
The impact makes Izuna see stars.
"Am I hallucinating?" Izuna wonders before he passes out again.
"I am sorry! I am sorry!" The girl panics. She grabs Izuna and shakes him violently.
"I didn't mean it!"
