"Finally about to seal her successfully?"
At this moment, even the Turtle Hermit, who had just been guiding his newly recruited female disciple in training while sneaking in some perks, couldn't help but hold his breath.
However, almost immediately, he heard Lin Xuan speak in the Transdimensional Chat Group:
"I doubt it'll be that easy!"
"Huh?"
Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, who were attempting to seal Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, instantly tensed up. They didn't believe Lin Xuan would spout nonsense at such a critical moment.
Thus, almost simultaneously, they reacted—abandoning the sealing attempt and retreating rapidly.
And in that very instant—
BOOM!
The massive Tailed Beast shattered, and an enormous black sphere emerged from within, devouring Hashirama's chakra instead!
In the blink of an eye, the colossal Sage Art Wood Dragon was completely drained, reduced to ashes.
Fortunately, Madara and Hashirama had already begun retreating, or they too would have been sucked into the vortex.
Because the black sphere that had suddenly erupted from the Tailed Beast's body was none other than an exceptionally massive Truth-Seeking Ball!
At the same time, vast amounts of chakra surged from the earth below, pouring into the gigantic Truth-Seeking Ball, causing its size to expand rapidly!
Witnessing this, Naruto Uzumaki was dumbfounded: "That's the same kind of black orb as the ones on my back… but it's way too big!"
Sasuke Uchiha's face also twisted in shock.
There was no helping it—the sheer size of this Truth-Seeking Ball alone exuded an overwhelming pressure. And they didn't even need to think to realize that such a massive concentration of chakra would be terrifyingly destructive.
Otherwise, why would even Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama look so stunned?
After enjoying the sight of Madara and Hashirama's bewildered expressions, Lin Xuan leisurely explained in the Transdimensional Chat Group:
"That's the Expansion Truth-Seeking Ball, also known as the Final Truth-Seeking Ball. It can seal the power of all creation, annihilate all things, and return the world to nothingness. At the same time, it's also the starting point of a new space. In other words, this is both a world-ending technique and a world-creating technique."
Madara and Hashirama's expressions turned even grimmer.
They knew that something made of pure chakra couldn't just be about size—its power had to be equally monstrous.
Lin Xuan smirked slightly when he saw the massive black sphere appear.
As expected, his decision to withhold the complete version of Naruto from Madara and Hashirama had been the right move.
Hearing his explanation, the two felt even more pressured.
"If you knew about this, why didn't you share this intel with us earlier?" Madara questioned.
Lin Xuan shrugged. "If I told you everything, wouldn't that just leave you two to show off in front of others? How would I get my own chance to shine?"
Madara: "..."
Hashirama: "..."
If possible, they'd really like to ask Lin Xuan if it was okay to curse right now.
Even Turtle Hermit, watching the livestream, was speechless at Lin Xuan's antics.
He noticed that Lin Xuan seemed to enjoy letting Madara and Hashirama show off first, only to then one-up them himself.
Who knew if this method of flexing brought Lin Xuan endless satisfaction?
Luckily, this wasn't the first time Lin Xuan had done this, so Madara and Hashirama quickly moved past their frustration.
Because Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had reappeared—standing right before the colossal Expansion Truth-Seeking Ball!
Hashirama hastily asked in the chat group: "What do we do now?"
Lin Xuan replied: "What else can you do? Kaguya just absorbed even more chakra from those trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi. She's definitely going on the offensive now. You two better be careful—if she takes out either of you, sealing her will become impossible!"
Madara and Hashirama's hearts sank.
"So, she'll focus on eliminating one of us to prevent the sealing?" Madara guessed.
"Smart!" Lin Xuan praised.
Hashirama quickly caught on. "Then we'll use that against her—make her think we can't seal her anymore, then strike when she lets her guard down!"
Exchanging a glance, the two seemed to have already understood each other's thoughts.
The next moment—
BOOM!
Just as Lin Xuan predicted, Kaguya struck.
Her target? The one she deemed the lesser threat—Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
And between the two, she chose the one who had just called her a super old hag—Naruto!
Bone spikes erupted from her body, shooting straight toward Naruto!
Hashirama instantly lunged forward, shielding Naruto with his own body and taking the hits.
His Edo Tensei form was pierced in multiple places.
Naruto, horrified, cried out: "First Hokage! Are you okay?!"
Hashirama grinned. "I'm already dead—just an Edo Tensei. What's there to worry about?"
As he spoke, he yanked out the gray bone spikes, but his wounds refused to heal.
Meanwhile, Madara flashed in front of Sasuke.
Along the way—
A pitch-black, colossal Susanoo and a gigantic black Buddha manifested, charging straight at Kaguya!
Six Paths Mode fused with Armament Haki!
Six Paths - Armament - Perfect Susanoo!
*Six Paths - Armament - 1,000 Armed Kan'on - Top Buddha Strike!*
Seeing Hashirama protecting Naruto, Kaguya's expression darkened, and she swiftly shifted her focus to Sasuke.
"Now!"
Sasuke was confused until Madara growled:
"Listen closely. Hashirama and I will block all her attacks to create an opening. You two must seize the chance and seal her!"
"What?!" Sasuke's eyes widened. "But that means you two—"
Madara cut him off. "We're already dead. Consider this our final contribution to this world."
With that, he locked eyes with Hashirama—and the two sprang into action.
