Kaguya stood in the depths of space, her azure Tenseigan gazing down at the gray-brown planet before her!
That was Earth... its surface left desolate after Indra and Mokkajiryu had drained away most of its life force!
It was precisely because of this that Kaguya could now stand here in her most complete form, looking down upon the world!
But for someone who had once wished to protect the land, her heart was filled with contradiction and sorrow.
Black Zetsu sensed Kaguya's inner turmoil and consoled her, "Mother... now that you possess the Tenseigan, you can restore the planet's vitality at any time. But right now, the priority is to cleanse all the harmful elements!"
"Yes..." Kaguya concealed the sadness in her eyes. One by one, Truth-Seeking Orbs appeared in the starry void, connected by threads of golden light!
—Golden Wheel Reincarnation: Great Net!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack...!
Interwoven blades of light sliced the moon behind her into tens of thousands of fragments!
Each fragment became a massive meteor!
Buzz!
A force field enveloped every single meteor!
"I shall reshape this land...!"
Her homeland reflected in her eyes, she extended her palm forward!
Buzz!
Using the Tenseigan's repulsive force, she precisely controlled each meteor, sending them crashing toward Earth's Rain Country region!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The unnatural sounds from above made every ninja battling the White Zetsus look up in unison!
One glance... and despair consumed them!
"You've got to be kidding..."
Thousands upon thousands of massive meteors were plummeting toward the earth!
Ashura stood atop the Rain Village, his voice solemn: "So this is Grandmother's power... But the will of Ninshu shall never bow to any force!!!"
—Sage Art: Wood Release—True Several Thousand Hands!
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...!
The Thousand-Armed Kannon rose majestically!
Ashura roared, "Everyone... don't give up! Combine all our strength—save others and save ourselves!"
"Ashura, let me lend you a hand!"
Senju Hashirama entered Sage Mode, pressing his palms together.
—Sage Art: Wood Release—True Several Thousand Hands!
Two colossal True Several Thousand Hands stood firm, yet against the overwhelming meteor shower, they seemed utterly insignificant!
—Top Transformed Buddha!
Meteors shattered consecutively—a hundred in a row—but compared to the total number, it was merely a drop in the ocean!
Just as everyone fell into despair, a golden light shot skyward!
It was Uzumaki Naruto. He stood at the point closest to the meteor shower, shouting at maximum volume to everyone.
"Ninjas! Everything unfolding before your eyes today—I've experienced it all firsthand! The beings called Otsutsuki possess the power to destroy heaven and earth with a mere gesture. The ninja world of the future perished at their hands, and I, by sheer luck, survived and returned to this era—all to prevent that tragedy from repeating..."
As the ninjas stared in shock, Toda's pupils dilated as he instantly understood everything: "So that's how it is!!!!"
The firelight from meteors burned through the heavens!
Naruto's eyes blazed: "Kurama... I'm counting on you!"
Kurama laughed: "Hmph... likewise!"
Whoosh!
His golden form expanded once more, pouring every ounce of his power into creating the largest Tailed Beast Bomb possible!
Naruto's left eye focused.
—Ōmononushi!!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...!
The Tailed Beast Bomb was replicated across the sky, all firing toward the heavens!!
—Ōmononushi!
—Ōmononushi!
—Ōmononushi!
Naruto unleashed his full ocular power, continuously replicating... over a thousand Tailed Beast Bombs, firing them in waves into the sky!!
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...!!
Dozens of seconds later, mushroom clouds of explosions bloomed throughout outer space... Every single meteor shower was intercepted beyond the atmosphere!
Black Zetsu gnashed his teeth: "Damn Uzumaki Naruto! Must you oppose Mother to the very end?!"
Across the vast distance, Kaguya's Tenseigan locked onto that golden figure on the earth below.
Zzzzz!
Terrifying golden light hissed at her fingertip, forming into a cross-shaped radiance!
"Hmm?" From the breach in the atmosphere, Naruto sensed the presence of that cross-shaped light!
"..." After a moment's hesitation, Kaguya raised her finger!
—Golden Wheel: Annihilation Light!
Whoosh!
From the center of the cross, a dark golden beam pierced through heaven and earth, blasting through Kurama's forehead and into the ground!!
"Urgh...!!!"
Naruto's heart was pierced through as well!!
"Ugh... This is... light that can suppress regeneration? A higher-level Tenseigan technique?!"
Seeing Naruto falling, Sasuke sprinted at full speed. A small snake emerged from his sleeve.
—Amenotejikara!
Whoosh!
Naruto's fatal wound was transferred to the snake, allowing him to land safely!
"Thanks, Sasuke..."
Sasuke said, "You took that hit deliberately, didn't you? You clearly sensed it coming."
Naruto replied, "Can't hide anything from you. I'd never seen that technique before and wanted to experience it firsthand. Didn't expect it to be so terrifying. Seems Toneri never unleashed the Tenseigan's true power..."
Naruto drew out the 'Six Paths Ninja Tool'—the Amber Purifying Rope—and wrapped it around his arm: "Alright then, everything proceeds according to plan!"
Obito arrived at an empty area outside the battle zone.
"This is where Kaguya briefly stopped after leaving Amenominaka—less than ten minutes ago. This should work..."
—Umudaryū!
He would reverse time to forcibly drag Kaguya back from outer space to earth!
Whoosh!
A white vortex spun. Time was already flowing backward. In a few more seconds, Kaguya would emerge from that white vortex!
Naruto, Sasuke, and Madara were all in position!
Sasuke said, "I can't injure myself. Madara, cut off my left arm!"
Slash!
Madara took the Kusanagi sword Sasuke handed him and severed Sasuke's left arm!
Whoosh!
The instant Kaguya appeared with the reversed flow of time, Sasuke focused with his right eye.
—Amenotejikara!
Battle damage exchange—Kaguya's left arm was severed in response!
Sasuke's left eye sharpened.
—Amenomihashira!
Naruto and Kaguya's severed arms switched positions!
THUD!
Naruto's left arm, wrapped with the Amber Purifying Rope, struck Kaguya's cheek with a powerful punch!
"Awwooo..."
As Kaguya flew backward, she opened her mouth in shock—her word-spirit escaped!
The 'Seven Star Sword' hanging at Naruto's waist automatically initiated Flying Thunder God Slash!
Slash!
Kaguya's word-spirit was severed!
Naruto drew out the Red Gourd and absorbed Kaguya's word-spirit into it!
The knocked-down Kaguya rose from the ground, clutching her throat with her right hand, murmuring, "He stole my word-spirit..."
Naruto thought: My 'Ear-Listening, Face-Commanding' ocular jutsu combined with the Six Paths word-spirit ninja tools can unleash the 'Mantra Bind'—it's incredibly effective. Even Obito couldn't withstand it. While I can't expect this move to make Kaguya surrender, at least it can wear down her mental state...
Zzz!
He formed a two-finger seal.
—Ear-Listening, Face-Commanding: Mantra Bind!
Zzz!
A golden circlet materialized above Kaguya's head!
"..." Naruto closed his eyes and began chanting silently.
Obito thought to himself: Kaguya, I don't care if you're the chakra ancestor of this land, but this technique—I guarantee you'll suffer. Good luck...
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu... It hurts, it hurts so much... My head... it hurts so much..." Kaguya clutched her head, letting out agonized wails.
The sleeve from Kaguya's severed arm fell to the ground. Black Zetsu poked his head out, looking at the suffering Kaguya and cursing furiously: "Damn it! Using such a vicious method to scheme against Mother! Stop this, you unfilial descendant!!!!"
But at that moment, Uchiha Madara bent down, physically yanked Black Zetsu from the sleeve, and stared at it coldly with a chilling voice: "Black Zetsu, what goes around, comes around..."
