Kei Yamanaka waved his hand and created a barrier using his own spiritual power, blocking the residual shockwaves from the battle between the three warriors. A thoughtful look flickered across his eyes.
The ultimate form of the Six Paths Yin-Yang Cycle Sage Art was the power of creation and destruction!
Amenominaka, Kaguya otsutsuki's ultimate technique, was the most direct manifestation of her abilities.
In every spatial dimension containing air and other essential substances for life, the Desert Dimension contained sunlight, the Ice Realm held water, the Lava Dimension carried fire, and in the Gravity Dimension, gravity could be freely manipulated...
And at its core, the Origin Chakra Sphere Space could absorb chakra through [Anchors].
If she also integrated the power of the Pure Land...
Could it become a self-sustaining miniature world with natural day-night cycles?
Chenggehu? (A mythical vessel capable of creating worlds)
Kei glanced at Tsunade and Hikaku Uchiha beside him before silently refocusing on Kaguya otsutsuki.
Strong people may not die from a mere cleaver, but that doesn't mean they can't still be struck by one.
Not long after,
Under Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique, Kushina and the other Jinchuriki appeared behind Kei Yamanaka.
Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and others who had finished fighting on the front lines also arrived, bringing with them an utterly drained Minato Namikaze.
By now, the battles across all fronts had concluded.
With Kei's barrier shielding against any residual combat energy, everyone naturally seized this opportunity to observe and learn about the Otsutsuki Clan up close.
All eyes were fixed on the distant clash between Kaguya otsutsuki, Madara Uchiha, and Hashirama Senju.
Meanwhile, Kei continued analyzing Kaguya otsutsuki's abilities.
He once again tried to forge a small world inside his Boundless Realm—one containing the full balance of Yin-Yang and all Five Elements, complete with sun and moon, just like the ordinary world.
However, before he could finish shaping this miniature world,
Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, after fighting fiercely for another half-hour...
Were knocked flat.
This outcome wasn't difficult to predict.
Even if Kaguya otsutsuki lacked battlefield experience, she was far from helpless.
Even though the resurrected God Tree only contained full chakra from the Six-Tails and Seven-Tails plus portions from the other tailed beasts, her [Kagutsuchi Royal Bloodline] was undeniable.
Her [Kekkei Mora], gained by consuming the God Tree's fruit, was equally undeniable.
She was undeniably a powerhouse!
The fact that Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju lasted this long already proved their exceptional martial prowess!
...
[Name: Kaguya otsutsuki]
[Occupation: Unknown / None]
[Skills: [Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan] (Gold), [World King's Court] (Gold), [Wanxiang Lunzhuan] (Golden), [Kagutsuchi Royal Bloodline] (Gold), [Goddess of the Rabbit] (Red), [Yin-Yang Creation and Destruction] (Red), [Byakugan] (Purple), [Tactical Genius] (Blue), [Unbroken Will] (Blue), [Unyielding] (Green), [Seed-Bearer] (Green), [Reactive Alertness] (White), [Pride] (White), [Few Words] (White), [Insatiable Ambition] (Gray), [Tragic Fate] (Gray)]
...
Staring at the overwhelming list of abilities...
Yet not a single one directly enhanced her combat prowess!
Moreover, the four skills—[Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan], [World King's Court], [Wanxiang Lunzhuan], and [Byakugan]—were clearly connected but had never fully merged.
This also proved that Kaguya Otsutsuki had never truly mastered or integrated the power she gained after consuming the God Tree's fruit.
She possessed immense power,
but lacked the matching battle techniques.
While facing Hashirama Senju's and Madara Uchiha's chakra, her mind kept wandering.
Her combat ability...
was downright pitiful to watch!
"The God Tree and its fruit born from this Fragile Little World (the mortal realm) must be very special,"
Kei Yamanaka speculated inwardly.
It was highly likely that when Otsutsuki Chiya's body had been left behind in this Fragile Little World, the God Tree had absorbed some of the residual energy he had left behind.
Otherwise, a mere fruit alone shouldn't have elevated Kaguya Otsutsuki's stats to such a level!
Within the ruins beneath the God Tree,
Kaguya Otsutsuki gazed down at the fallen and helpless figures of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. Then she raised her gaze toward Kei Yamanaka, who had just risen from his wooden chair.
It wasn't that she hesitated to harm these two individuals who so closely resembled her own children.
Rather, it was that man—the one strong enough to make her feel genuine fear—who had already locked onto her with some unknown force!
Whoosh~
The gravely injured Hashirama and Madara suddenly appeared inside a barrier.
Kei Yamanaka also traversed space in a single step, materializing beside Kaguya Otsutsuki.
A surge of dark Yin–Yang Release energy erupted wildly from Kaguya's sleeves, spreading outward
and completely obscuring her from view.
Black Zetsu's voice followed, trembling slightly.
"Mother… quickly escape!"
"…"
Kei showed no surprise at Black Zetsu's appearance.
Though this dusky-skinned figure had always eluded his gaze,
his present power far exceeded anything from the past. The moment he first saw Kaguya Otsutsuki, he had already sensed Black Zetsu's presence!
Hmm, still as devoted as ever.
Even though he feared Kei to death, he still firmly stood before his mother.
"A good child."
Kaguya's cool voice sounded, her bone-pale fingers brushing across Black Zetsu's form.
Then, gently withdrawing this one child who brought her comfort back into her sleeve.
She fixed her gaze upon the man standing before her.
"Where… is Isshiki?"
"Dead."
Kei turned his palm outward, drawing from the Boundless Realm half of a head.
Kaguya stared blankly at the lifeless face twisted with malice and defiance, then curled her lips into a faint smile.
Only after Kei put away the severed skull
did she speak again.
"Where… is Hagoromo?"
"He transcended dimensions, leaving this world entirely. Before departing, he offered all the treasures he had amassed over a thousand years just to beg me not to kill you…"
Kei summarized Kaguya Hagoromo's situation roughly.
In his opinion, this mother and son were a pair of oddities.
"The mother was a woman of few words, proud and obsessive. She wanted to resist the Otsutsuki Clan but never explained anything she did to her son.
Meanwhile, the son not only possessed a compassionate heart but also had a lover's mind. When he witnessed his beloved being sacrificed to the God Tree, he was manipulated by Gamamaru and set out on a path that opposed his own mother.
In hindsight, whenever the mother saw someone who resembled her son, she would burst into tears.
And the son could never truly let go of his mother, leaving her as an emotional knot in his heart.
"Transcending dimensions…"
Kaguya Otsutsuki's expression, usually cold, revealed astonishment.
Something that was said to be achievable only by the Otsutsuki God—she never imagined Hagoromo could accomplish it too!
"Isn't your reaction kind of missing the point?"
Kei Yamanaka looked unimpressed.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't Kaguya be moved to tears over her son's actions instead?
"I… cannot be killed."
Kaguya slightly lifted her chin, a flicker of pride in her eyes.
Buzz~
The Infinite Martial Domain expanded.
A jet-black, hellish void engulfed Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Ten minutes later…
"C'mon, hold yourself steady now. Don't drop your head."
Kei Yamanaka reattached the severed head with a smooth edge in his hand back onto Kaguya's neck.
From Kaguya's Byakugan eyes, two streams of hot tears trickled down her cheeks.
Her face twisted with wronged feelings as she raised both hands to adjust her head properly.
This guy…
He's gone way too far!
Couldn't he at least show mercy for Hagoromo's thousand-year-old collection and kill her a little less often!?
From having her soul sealed and dying, to her right leg being filled with some unknown energy and exploding into blood mist,
then one beheading after another!
In just ten minutes, she had died over ten times!
And this guy kept hitting her head with Chakra Black Receivers.
She had long since forgotten what her great-grandmother even looked like—yet he made her remember every detail!
