Black Zetsu and Kaguya's decision was correct.
After they left, the terrifying black flame tornado nearly destroyed everything in the Core Dimension.
Anything caught in it would instantly turn into ash-like residue.
If this move had hit Kaguya, whether it could kill her completely was uncertain, but it could at least greatly hinder her regeneration process.
After obtaining the Chakra of the Nine Tailed Beasts, Kaguya could indeed be called 'immortal and indestructible'. Even Momoshiki, who later came to inspect the Ninja World's development, couldn't match her in this aspect.
Although referred to as a 'lowly one' by Isshiki, there was no doubt that Kaguya, who had consumed the Chakra Fruit, surpassed the other Otsutsuki Clan's members who descended upon the Ninja World in various aspects.
"Mother, these three together are too troublesome. We must separate them."
Unlike Kaguya, who had been sealed for a thousand years, Black Zetsu possessed quite mature combat experience.
With him offering strategies and suggestions on the side, Kaguya quickly snapped out of the shock from facing that never-before-seen attack.
"Hmm."
She nodded lightly, then began sensing the situation in the Core Dimension.
When she saw the devastated state of the Core Dimension, an involuntary look of wariness appeared on Kaguya's face.
These mortals who inexplicably appeared to resist her seemed to already understand her abilities. All the attack methods they used were completely unrelated to Chakra.
This made it somewhat troublesome for her to counter.
Perhaps right after being revived, Kaguya wouldn't have paid much attention to the words of Black Zetsu, the product of her own will.
But after a beating from reality, the inexperienced Princess Kaguya understood that critical matters still required decisions from professionals.
At the very least, the tactical responses Black Zetsu made were more reasonable than hers.
Back in the Core Dimension, Karin transformed back into her human form, breathing lightly a few times.
In comparison, Sasuke was much better off, even able to maintain his awakened state.
"So what do we do now? Wait for Kaguya to make the first move?"
Karin looked at her companions, then at the black flame tornado gradually dissipating without its power source.
Where the flame storm had swept through, nothing remained except for a sunken patch of scorched earth.
"If we need to get out, I can try having the toads reverse summon us to Mount Myoboku."
At this point, Jiraiya, who had already entered Sage Mode, stepped forward and spoke to the group.
Hearing this, Sasuke seemed to remember something. He took out a small jar of nutrient solution from the bag he carried.
Inside the transparent glass jar, a Sharingan with a pattern like a shuriken floated up and down.
This was a memento from Obito of another world, Uchiha Obiko.
"If all else fails, I'll just replace my eye with this one."
As he spoke, Sasuke made a move to open the jar.
"This Sharingan also possesses the Kamui ability. Using it, we can traverse space to deal with Kaguya."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a dark, gaping portal silently unfolded beside Sasuke, while another portal opened elsewhere.
Kaguya's hands simultaneously reached out from both portals.
At the same time, a gray-white spike emerged from the center of both palms.
All-Killing Ash Bones!
This was one of Kaguya's killing moves.
Anyone hit by this technique would immediately turn into a pile of ash.
In a way, this move was somewhat similar to Sasuke and Karin's combination technique.
Of course, All-Killing Ash Bones was more silent and even harder to dodge.
-But that was only for ordinary Ninja.
With Observation Haki acting as battlefield detection, such sneak attacks couldn't trouble the trio at all.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two All-Killing Ash Bones shot towards Sasuke and Karin.
Karin, relying on her divine speed, easily avoided the strike. Sasuke, although not as fast, managed to dodge it without major risk.
But when they dodged the All-Killing Ash Bones, they realized the bones' attack trajectory was actually aimed at Naruto and Jiraiya in front of them.
Naruto, who saw this scenario first, simply waved a hand towards Jiraiya beside him. A gentle impact sent Jiraiya's figure flying in another direction.
Naruto himself just tilted his head to avoid the strike.
It seemed the All-Killing Ash Bones had been useless.
Just as Karin and Sasuke thought this, Naruto shouted loudly.
"Watch out!"
Three more portals simultaneously appeared behind Sasuke, Naruto, and Karin. Then the hands that had just extended from the portals swiftly swung.
Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!
Boom boom boom boom!
Faced with the overwhelming number of Chakra Fist Phantoms, Sasuke and Karin could only barely dodge before being directly sent flying into the portals.
Naruto, on the other hand, swelled his muscles and quickly traded punches with those illusory fist phantoms.
Thud thud thud thud!
Black Zetsu, hiding in the sleeve, felt his throat go dry watching this.
-If he currently had a throat organ, that is.
Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was Kaguya's attack method utilizing her superb Chakra Control, compressing it to the extreme. Combined with that speed difficult for the naked eye to follow, she could unleash hundreds of terrifyingly powerful punches in an instant.
Naruto, on the other side, purely relied on physical strength to unleash equivalent, no, even greater in number and force, shockwaves.
Black Zetsu watched as Kaguya's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was forcibly suppressed head-on. He immediately controlled Kaguya's hair, using 'Hair Needles' towards various tenketsu points on Naruto's body.
Swoosh-
The nearly invisible thin strands were completely inconspicuous amidst the overwhelming exchange of punches, but Naruto still captured them in advance with his Haki.
Tekkai!
His muscles instantly tensed, covered with Armament Haki as thick as armor.
The few strands could only barely bore a small hole upon impact. After that, their penetrating force dissipated completely. Trying to go further to injure Naruto's body was simply impossible.
But Kaguya took this opportunity to retract her hands.
'Good, the plan succeeded. Now, let's go deal with that Sasuke who somehow got his hands on a Kamui Sharingan.'
Black Zetsu's plan seemed successful, but he didn't know the scene about to unfold would be enough to shatter his worldview.
Through the continuously shrinking [Yomotsu Hirasaka] portal, he could see Naruto on the other side rapidly charging towards it.
'Useless, Uzumaki Naruto.'
'I admit you are indeed strong, but so what?'
'Mother is revived. As long as we kill that Sasuke Uchiha, you can only wait for death in this space.'
'If I can't beat you, can't I just outlast you?'
Crack-
The shrinking process of Yomotsu Hirasaka was abruptly stuck.
"Hmm?"
Kaguya also sensed this situation and looked over questioningly.
Black Zetsu looked incredulously at two large hands reaching through the Yomotsu Hirasaka's range. Like prying open some tangible barrier, they actually tore open a gap in the spatial rift.
Naruto's head slowly extended through the increasingly large portal opening, his face blooming with an absolutely irreconcilable fanatical fighting spirit.
"Ahhhhh!!"
Black Zetsu almost let out a little girl-like scream, and Kaguya was also shocked by this unbelievable scene.
Fortunately, she had improved somewhat. Although Black Zetsu didn't remind her, she still widened the blood-red Rinnegan on her forehead and increased her Chakra Output.
Instantly, the contracting force of Yomotsu Hirasaka surged.
Cuts appeared on Naruto's fingers where they contacted the edge of the spatial rift.
No matter how high his defense was, when faced with the absolute property of spatial cutting, it had to take a back seat.
Knowing he couldn't forcibly stop Kaguya from contracting Yomotsu Hirasaka, Naruto didn't insist.
He just made a fist with one hand, extending a finger to point at Black Zetsu and Kaguya.
"Wait for me."
That terrifying momentum swept through the entire space through the small portal hole.
In the next moment, he withdrew his hand, and Yomotsu Hirasaka successfully closed.
"Huff... huff..."
Kaguya looked incredulously at her slightly trembling hand, a drop of cold sweat sliding down her cheek from her forehead.
'What was that?'
'Is this... fear?'
She felt unbelievable, but Black Zetsu seemed stimulated by something and didn't promptly provide answers for his mother.
On the other side, in the Core Dimension, Naruto reunited with Jiraiya.
"Naruto, Karin and Sasuke, they..."
Jiraiya's expression wasn't good. He also knew the terror of the other spaces within Kaguya's Amenominaka.
Unexpectedly, Naruto just gently shook his head.
"Don't worry, they won't fall that quickly."
Then, under Jiraiya's puzzled, surprised and complex gaze, he forcefully bit his finger and pressed it onto the ground.
"I wonder if this is the so-called 'fate at work'?"
Naruto chuckled lightly, then activated the Ninjutsu that had been foreshadowed for over a hundred chapters.
"Summoning Technique! Huodou, Garuda!"
