Momoshiki, after devouring Kinshiki like a fruit, had become grotesquely inflated with power.
His entire form transformed. The once deep red hue of his Rinnegan turned into a radiant, ominous gold.
With a twisted expression etched into his now warped face, Momoshiki glared at Kaguya and Kurama. "I'll remember this. I'll make you pay. That's a promise."
He activated the Yomotsu Hirasaka again.
Unlike before, this time his enhanced power allowed him to succeed. The spatial rift tore open, and Momoshiki immediately slipped into the darkness.
"So even this gravity dimension can't restrain him anymore," Kaguya muttered, her usually composed face turning grave.
The power boost Momoshiki received after consuming Kinshiki sent warning bells ringing in her.
Kurama scoffed. "What's the point of running if you came here to fight? Talk about cowardly."
He wasn't impressed. Even though Momoshiki's strength had just skyrocketed, he still chose to flee.
Maybe this dimension restricted his power output. Or maybe he was simply terrified.
"Kurama-sama, shall we pursue?" Kaguya asked, her voice icy.
Kurama smirked. "Of course. Eliminate the threat at the root. That's our style, isn't it, Kaguya?"
"Indeed."
With her signature serene malice, she followed Kurama into the black void.
Now under a clear sky above the roaring seas near the Land of Water, Momoshiki stood on a jagged cliff edge.
His body still radiated with unstable energy, and his golden Rinnegan pulsed with ferocity.
"To think... I've been humiliated on this wretched planet by traitors," he growled to himself.
His mind churned with fury.
This should've never happened.
Kaguya betrayed the Ōtsutsuki Clan and devoured the God Tree's fruit for herself.
That act of treachery led to Isshiki's downfall, and to his and Kinshiki's pursuit of her.
"Damn you, Kaguya. You pathetic disgrace!"
He clenched his fists, seething with hatred.
His mind raced back to the gravity dimension. Sure, he had the power boost, but in that realm, gravity still limited his movement.
He couldn't release his full strength.
He had to flee. But not forever.
He would have his revenge.
"What else?" a casual voice cut through the tension.
His pupils contracted.
Kurama.
As expected, Kurama and Kaguya had followed.
Momoshiki grinned twistedly. Perfect. Time to settle everything.
Their silhouettes emerged from a rip in space.
"You two are really persistent," he mocked.
Kurama rolled his eyes. "You talk a lot for someone who keeps running with his tail tucked."
Momoshiki's grin faded.
Kurama raised his hand, stopping Kaguya.
"Let me handle this one, Princess."
He scanned the area.
Land of Water. Plenty of moisture and instability.
Then the sea began to boil.
A tsunami rose, crashing into the shore like divine wrath.
Momoshiki channeled his energy, manipulating elemental forces.
From the water, a massive lava golem emerged — a towering beast of molten rock and scorched earth, its size rivaling a tailed beast.
At the same time, a fiery bird — a phoenix-like monstrosity — erupted into the sky.
"Lava Golem and Pheasant Blaze," Kurama noted.
Momoshiki was flexing.
Kurama, however, remained unimpressed.
He'd seen these creatures before.
The fiery bird? Torn apart by Kurama's Nine Tails avatar in a past skirmish.
And the golem? Obsolete compared to Susanoo's wrath.
Momoshiki, now fused further with Kinshiki's essence, dove into the golem's core.
A symbiosis. Power consolidated.
But Kurama didn't even flinch.
"Why... why isn't he reacting?!" Momoshiki thought.
Is he mocking me?
No fear? No hesitation?
"Die!" Momoshiki bellowed from inside the lava titan.
Kurama simply whispered, "You still don't get it."
His Mangekyō Sharingan rotated violently.
Chakra exploded from his body.
The sheer pressure repelled the bird and golem several meters.
Momoshiki licked his lips.
"This chakra... it would make a delicious fruit..."
If only he could extract and consume it...
But the sky darkened.
Lightning flashed.
Kurama's chakra shaped itself into a titanic, obsidian figure.
The perfect form of Susanoo.
A black Shinigami towering over a thousand meters, casting a god-like shadow across the ocean.
Kurama stood proudly atop its head.
From that height, Momoshiki and his creations looked like insects.
Momoshiki's golden eyes widened.
"W-what is this power?!"
Despair crept in.
He had never seen Susanoo at this scale.
Kurama was no longer just a shinobi.
He had transcended.
He was a god.
And Momoshiki... was the ant.
Susanoo lifted its massive foot.
The impact shattered the fiery bird and crumbled the golem to ash.
The shockwave split the sea, and tremors shook the nearby islands.
From Kirigakure, civilians and shinobi alike stared in awe.
"That's Kurama-sama's complete Susanoo!"
Even the elders who had witnessed Kurama's past battles with Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju felt their knees weaken.
Back then, Madara's complete Susanoo and Hashirama's wooden avatar were legendary.
Now, they looked like child's play next to this.
Kurama's black Susanoo was not a jutsu.
It was annihilation incarnate.
And as the ground settled and the dust cleared, Kurama pointed a single finger.
The atmosphere tensed.
Momoshiki realized his mistake.
The evolved power he thought would make him invincible?
Just a footnote in Kurama's wrath.
He wasn't the apex predator.
Kurama was.
And he was hungry for blood.
