"Uuuuuuuuu..."
Kaguya lay on the ground, desperately clawing at the golden circlet locked around her head. But the circlet wouldn't budge—the relentless agony clouded her mind!
Naruto's voice echoed directly in her consciousness: "Grandmother Kaguya, I truly wish to coexist with you peacefully. Please, stop this futile resistance. Let's sit down and talk this through!"
"Uuu... Liar! You're all liars... I don't believe you—I don't believe anyone! I only trust myself, I fight only for myself!"
Kaguya pounded her head with her fists. Her hair was wild and disheveled, her face twisted with rage—she looked like a true demon!
"Mother...!!" Black Zetsu wailed in despair, but Madara was stuffing him into A-Fei's massive slime mouth, shoving him in completely until Black Zetsu's screams were muffled in filth.
Suddenly... Kaguya stopped struggling. She lowered her head, her shoulders drooping lifelessly!
Buzz!
Brilliant blue light enveloped her entire form!
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...!
The earth shook violently as countless stone fragments floated into the air!
When she raised her face again, the twisted expression was gone—replaced by doll-like serenity!
"The Mantra Bind is still active—there's no mistaking it, no escaping it. But her face shows no pain. There's only one explanation..."
Naruto immediately analyzed: "She's used some method to disconnect her spirit from her body. The old Kaguya could never do this. Is this related to the Tenseigan...?"
Naruto recalled the Tenseigan's ability to create and control puppets.
"Could it be... she's turned herself into some kind of puppet?"
With limited information, this was as far as Naruto could deduce!
Indeed, this ability was connected to the Tenseigan's puppet-system ocular power!
Its name was—'Tenseigan: Auto Mode'!
It didn't separate spirit from body, but rather split 'consciousness' from 'instinct'!
Kaguya's consciousness still suffered under the Mantra Bind's torment, but... her body would fight according to pure instinct!
—Amenominaka!
Buzz!
The Rinne Sharingan on Kaguya's forehead snapped wide open!
Heaven and earth shifted!
Naruto and the others were transported to the 'Supergravity Space'!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
All the Truth-Seeking Orbs behind Naruto crashed to the ground.
"Ugh... so heavy."
"Can't... can't move."
"..." Kaguya coldly extended her palm. A sphere of light formed in her hand, aimed at Naruto!
—Tenseigan: Gravity!
Whoosh!
Naruto was pulled forward irresistibly: "Whoa, this gravity... it's way stronger than Universal Pull!!"
"Naruto!!" Sasuke saw the danger and tried to help, but under the crushing gravity, he couldn't take a single step and collapsed to the ground.
Not good! I have to use Amenotejikara immediately!!
His left eye strained to focus on Naruto's back, but Naruto turned his head, using his gaze to stop him!
Shhh...!
Kaguya's severed left arm regenerated rapidly. An All-Killing Ash Bone formed in her hand, ready to strike Naruto the moment he was pulled within range!
But Naruto remained calm, forming hand seals.
—Wood Release: Shadow Stake Technique!
Crack! Wooden stakes rose from behind, their shadows quickly merging with Naruto's!
His forward momentum stopped abruptly!
"..." Kaguya's expression remained unchanged. She simply raised her left hand carrying the Ash Bone, adjusted her aim, and fired it at Naruto's face!
In the distance, Madara's eyes sharpened.
—Limbo: Border Jail!
Whoosh!
A Limbo shadow, unaffected by the supergravity, flashed to Naruto's position and took the deadly Ash Bone for him!
"Thanks, Uncle Madara..."
Naruto formed a two-finger seal.
—Shadow Contraction!
Whoosh!
The shadow from the wooden stake rapidly contracted, pulling Naruto away from the gravitational field.
"..." Kaguya stood up sluggishly.
This supergravity space affected her as well.
Naruto returned to his three allies: "Uncle Madara, we can't fight effectively in this supergravity. Time for your Limbo to shine!"
Madara's eyes suddenly focused.
—Limbo: Border Jail!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Including Madara himself, Naruto, Obito, and Sasuke were all transported into the Limbo world!
The supergravity's effects immediately became meaningless!
Madara said, "Limbo's synchronized transport only lasts five minutes. We must establish an advantage within five minutes and force her to switch to another space!"
Naruto grinned, "Five minutes is more than enough..."
Lightning exploded around him as he shot forward like an arrow, leading the fierce assault!
Sasuke, Obito, Madara, and Madara's other shadows followed close behind!!
"..." Kaguya's Tenseigan locked onto everyone's movements, but under the supergravity, her body couldn't react effectively!!
BOOM!!!!
Naruto brutally sent Kaguya flying!
Madara's Limbo shadows flashed alternately through the sky!
Sasuke and Obito joined in with their own coordinated attacks!
In the supergravity space, air ripples overlapped as Kaguya ricocheted rapidly between them!
Thud...!!
After a massive combination attack, Kaguya crashed to the ground, her back sliding along the jagged terrain until she reached the edge!
BOOM!
Obito burst directly from underground, his massive hand grabbing Kaguya's back and forcefully hauling her skyward!
By this point, the battle-hardened Naruto and his team had mostly figured out the nature of Kaguya's 'Tenseigan: Auto Mode'!
Madara frowned: "She's acting like she's malfunctioned... Why isn't she switching spaces?"
Naruto's gaze shifted slightly: "If she's fighting on pure instinct, we need to make her sense real danger before she'll take major action..."
Sasuke's eyes darkened: "Danger, huh? Naruto, I have an idea..."
Naruto smiled: "I think I can guess what you're thinking!"
Whoosh!
In the Limbo world, Naruto and Sasuke faced each other, each extending their left and right hands toward the other!
Sasuke's left eye suddenly focused on Kaguya.
—Limbo: Amenotejikara!
Whoosh!!
Kaguya was directly pulled across the Limbo barrier, caught between Naruto and Sasuke's palms!
The Yin and Yang sealing marks were so vivid—they were about to touch Kaguya!
"!" Sensing the crisis of being sealed, the Rinne Sharingan on Kaguya's forehead suddenly dilated!
—Amenominaka!
Crack! Crack!
Glacial ice... blocked the attack!
At the same time, Madara's Limbo synchronized transport reached its time limit and was dispelled!
"Finally... we got her to cancel the supergravity space."
But... danger struck instantly!
All-Killing Ash Bones protruded from both of Kaguya's palms, piercing directly through the glacier toward Naruto and Sasuke's faces!!
"What!?" Naruto and Sasuke exclaimed simultaneously.
"This kind of precision strike..."
Kaguya's battle instincts... were improving!
"Could it be... this Tenseigan combat mode automatically learns and grows the longer it's active!?"
No time to think further. Naruto's eyes flew wide open.
—Ōmononushi: Erasure!
Slash! Slash!
The Ash Bones aimed at him and Sasuke vanished into thin air!
On the other side, Sasuke's pupils blazed.
—Kagutsuchi!
Crack crack crack crack...!
Spears of black flame shattered the ice in a crosshatch pattern. After breaking free, the two immediately distanced themselves from Kaguya!!
Crunch! Crunch!
Obito and Madara also broke through the glacier.
Obito asked: "Naruto, is your tormenting word-spirit ocular jutsu still affecting Kaguya continuously?"
Naruto replied: "Of course it's still active. But the one responsible for 'chanting the spell' isn't me—it's Kurama..."
Obito nodded: "Then I'm relieved..."
He thought: As long as Kaguya's will is being continuously worn down, this battle has hope...
"..." Kaguya hovered in the air, her waterfall-like hair flowing in the wind like a white banner. Her face, as exquisite as snow yet as expressionless as a doll, was spotless.
Whoosh... The cold wind blew.
Naruto, Sasuke, Obito, and Madara each landed on different mountain peaks, forming a standoff with Kaguya!
The battle... was about to enter its most intense phase!
