Although Anya already knew Madara Uchiha's fate, witnessing it firsthand still stirred a sense of sadness. To be manipulated across two lifetimes—Madara must be the first one to experience that.
If it weren't for Anya's knowledge of the full ending plot from her previous life, no one would have imagined that everything Madara Uchiha did was merely paving the way for someone else.
According to the anime plot, at this point, Sasuke and Naruto had already accepted Hagoromo's inheritance and obtained the Chakra of the Six Paths. After sensing with soul perception, sure enough, those two were heading this way. It seemed that Hagoromo still felt uneasy and had transferred the remaining strength of his spirit to them. As long as the two worked together, with Anya's assistance, sealing away the chakra progenitor, Kaguya, would be an easy task.
Anya and Kaguya stood face to face, neither speaking a word. Just standing there, Anya could already feel the immense chakra radiating from Kaguya. This was a completely different level compared to Madara. Even with Madara's regeneration powers, killing him wasn't easy. Kaguya would be even harder, of course. Most likely, all injuries could quickly heal. Therefore, sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki seemed to be the only method.
However, Anya didn't entirely agree. Kaguya Otsutsuki could be killed, and in fact, she was also facing an actual threat. Otherwise, after the Infinite Tsukuyomi previously emptied the entire world, why would she create the White Zetsu army?
The best method would be the Spirit Transformation Technique — striking Kaguya Otsutsuki's soul directly and wearing down her willpower until she could finally be killed. But this wasn't Anya's objective.
Black Zetsu, seeing Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection, was ecstatic, hiding within her robes and saying, "Mother, congratulations on your successful revival. However, there is a rather thorny issue here—this person before us not only possesses the Rinnegan but also has power no weaker than a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, perhaps even stronger than Hagoromo himself. She just finished a major battle; we must kill her while she's vulnerable."
Kaguya showed no change in expression. Perhaps it was because she had just been freed from the seal and still needed time to adjust.
Anya took the initiative to speak, "Kaguya, can we talk?"
"Byakugan," Kaguya activated her Byakugan to observe Anya. Then, her long hair behind her began rapidly growing, transforming into blades that lunged toward Anya like spears.
Anya, well-prepared, drew her sword. [Blade of Indifference] emitted a buzzing sound, carrying deathly silence and killing intent as it directly met Kaguya's hair, severing it all.
"You are powerful. The chakra inside you comes from the Ninja Sect—no, now it belongs to the ninja, passed down by Hagoromo. This place… this land is my most important crucible, and I will not allow it to be destroyed again."
Anya frowned. Since the fight had already begun, the conversation could wait.
"Mother, watch out! This person's sword art is extremely formidable. Don't let her get close!" Black Zetsu timely warned.
Kaguya's eyes suddenly glared, and instantly, Anya noticed the environment had changed completely around him. The surroundings were now filled entirely with scorching lava, and Kaguya herself had distanced herself far away.
"Such strong spatial ability."
Anya activated Sage Mode and stood in an empty realm with a smirk on his face. "This environment actually suits me well," he said. "Don't forget, the Uchiha Clan is known not only for the Sharingan, but also for their Fire Release."
The Supreme Blade, fused with Truth-Seeking Balls, dove into the magma, beginning to harness its power. Instantly, torrents of molten rock erupted outward, accompanied by a tremendous roar that crushed everything around.
Glowing red rocks were propelled high into the air before hurtling back down. Anya's eyes had already transformed into the Rinnegan, drawing the rocks toward black spheres that turned them into massive meteors. Lava often hides astonishing power beneath its seemingly calm surface.
Below, the surging magma consumed vast stretches of land. Midair, meteor-like rocks formed from black spheres filled the space. At the highest point, rolling black smoke choked the skies, making everything seem doomed to destruction under this terrifying force.
Anya stood in the blistering heat, his entire body seemingly engulfed in flames, like a fire god ready to unleash his attack.
Kaguya, observing this with her Byakugan, was momentarily stunned and unsure how to strike back.
"Mother, switch to the next dimension."
Before Anya could attack, the scene abruptly changed. Around them appeared a crystalline world of ice, each icy detail clearly visible. Anya was trapped inside thick, frozen layers of snow and ice.
Transitioning suddenly from extreme heat to extreme cold would shatter a normal person's body instantly.
Yet Anya merely smirked, fully activating his Hanno Sage Art. The surrounding ice transformed into streams of pure natural energy flowing into his body, rapidly restoring the Sage Chakra he had expended during his battle with Madara.
Black Zetsu furiously shouted, "Damn it, we've been tricked! He must've known about this icy dimension beforehand and is now using Sage Art to absorb its natural energy. Mother, don't hold back on chakra anymore. Take him to *that* dimension and finish him off once and for all."
Kaguya also realized this ninja wasn't ordinary. She activated Amenominaka once again.
The surrounding space began shifting. A heavy gravitational force enveloped both Kaguya and Anya, making even standing difficult.
If a space contained too much energy, its own weight could crush it. Clearly, this was such a place—gravity here far exceeded what an ordinary person could endure, making even the slightest movement extremely difficult.
Being the space's original owner, Kaguya quickly adapted. Two bones appeared in her palms before she aimed them directly at Anya.
[All-Killing Ash Bones]
It was a Kekkei Mora (ultimate bloodline limit techniques), surpassing even Kekkei Tota (advanced bloodline limit techniques)—Kaguya's ultimate killing technique. Anyone struck by it would be reduced to ashes along with their bones, their body disintegrating from the wound outward until their entire form was destroyed.
Helpless to resist, Anya was directly pierced by the bones.
"Good! This annoying opponent is finally going to die," Black Zetsu couldn't help exclaiming with excitement.
Yet Anya, still impaled, gave a scornful look and said, "Space-based Ninjutsu is indeed powerful, but after using it twice in a row, do you really think I'd let you transport me around so easily again? You're underestimating me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Anya's entire figure turned into a faint shadow and vanished without a trace.
"What is this? A clone?"
"It still doesn't feel quite like that either." After Black Zetsu expressed confusion, he quickly realized with alarm: "Damn it! She must still be absorbing natural energy in the Icy Dimension to recover."
Kaguya activated [Otsutsuki Teleportation]. A black portal appeared within the Icy Dimension. Her body had just emerged halfway when a blade of [Sword Light] slashed through the air, spreading out like falling stars from the heavens. The blinding [Sword Light] eventually sliced off Kaguya's sleeve, causing Black Zetsu to fall onto the snowy ground. Several waves of [Sword Light] then rained down, pinning him in place, rendering him immobile.
Having easily dealt with Black Zetsu, Anya moved forward, standing face-to-face with Kaguya, so close they could feel each other's breath.
Taken aback, Kaguya's face flushed slightly, clearly not used to such closeness. Instinctively tried to retreat, only to find her waist already wrapped in Anya's arm.
"Now, can we talk properly?"
