Before Kaguya, before Chiya, and in front of and behind Ōtsutsuki Isshiki...
Black hole spaces instantly formed!
"All-Killing Ash Bones!"
"Divine Art, Kagatsuchi!"
"..."
One in front, one behind, two attacks arrived instantaneously through Yomotsu Hirasaka, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had not yet recovered from the shock of the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack when Kaguya's bone spike, carrying the aura of decay, pierced through his chest.
Kagatsuchi from behind directly struck his head.
You, how is this possible...
Isshiki was gravely wounded, looking at the two of them.
His eyes carried disbelief.
His own subordinate and a local "native"...
Could actually injure him?
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was instantly consumed by fury, his eyes filled with madness.
Clearly he was about to make a last desperate struggle.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka!"
Kaguya sensed the violently fluctuating chakra on his body and cast it again.
She pulled Chiya away from Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's side to behind herself.
Kaguya's Byakugan chakra trembled.
The Ten-Tails that had been quiet below suddenly moved.
It immediately opened its massive mouth, stretched out its neck, and swallowed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki in one gulp.
The already gravely wounded Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had no chance to react at all.
The violently fluctuating chakra, after entering the Ten-Tails' body, began to be madly drained by the Ten-Tails under Kaguya's control.
"Rumble!"
Because the powerful chakra within Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's body was being absorbed, the Ten-Tails experienced an energy explosion, its body rapidly expanding in all directions.
Its tails had already transformed into tree roots burrowing into the earth.
The massive head became a root system shooting straight into the sky, reaching the clouds in the blink of an eye, like it was piercing the heavens.
A giant tree grew forth.
On the trunk, enormous leaves rapidly grew.
The chakra and all energy from underground were also simultaneously absorbed, madly gathering in the tree along the roots.
"God Tree..."
Kaguya gazed at this towering tree, seemingly searching for something.
Suddenly, her body moved.
Chiya was also brought along by her.
Chiya held Kaguya, following her gaze.
At the center of the God Tree.
A fruit had actually borne.
Chiya's eyes flashed.
The fruit of the God Tree, this was the Chakra Fruit?
He remembered in the original story, Kaguya obtained powerful strength by consuming the God Tree fruit and became one with the God Tree, settling all disputes.
This gave Ōtsutsuki Kaguya the most supreme status here.
She was called the "Rabbit Goddess" by humans.
The two stopped before the Chakra Fruit.
"Chiya, this is the Chakra Fruit. After eating it, you can obtain powerful strength!"
Chiya nodded.
As Kaguya spoke, she sighed.
"This fruit, relying solely on Isshiki's body energy, seems to still fall a bit short. It hasn't reached the maturity stage yet. If the God Tree absorbs the energy of this world on its own, it would still need to absorb for over a thousand years."
Chiya glanced around, finally settling his gaze on the distance.
"The Dragon Vein, didn't you say before that there was still a lot of energy not absorbed?"
Kaguya's eyes lit up.
How could she have forgotten about that energy source?
She raised her hand toward the Dragon Vein's location, and an invisible wave flashed from Kaguya's body.
The God Tree's roots instantly probed toward the Dragon Vein.
The massive Dragon Vein energy emitted violent tremors.
However, under the absorption of the roots, in less than a moment they broke through and burrowed into it.
A glimmering white light was conducted along the roots to the God Tree.
Looking at the Chakra Fruit, it became increasingly mature.
No longer the unripe appearance from the beginning.
It really was effective!
In Kaguya's eyes, a trace of excitement couldn't help but appear.
The Chakra Fruit!
As long as she obtained it, she could gain supreme power. Even if she encountered pursuit from the Ōtsutsuki Clan later...
She would have very strong power to protect herself and protect those around her.
"After absorbing the Dragon Vein's power, it should be about right!"
Kaguya sensed the Dragon Vein's power gradually disappearing and the tiny subtle changes in the Chakra Fruit's growth.
After absorbing the Dragon Vein's power completely dry.
The Chakra Fruit glowed with shimmering points of light, very plump, clearly already mature.
Kaguya carefully plucked the Chakra Fruit.
She flew back before Chiya.
"Chiya, you eat it!"
Kaguya murmured softly, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Chiya was stunned.
This fruit represented supreme power and was something Kaguya was obsessed with, yet she wanted to give it to him?
Seeing the seriousness on Kaguya's face, Chiya knew she wasn't joking.
"You eat this fruit!"
Chiya shook his head.
He still refused.
He now had the system, and his strength would eventually reach the peak.
But if Kaguya didn't eat the fruit, her strength would be forever fixed. When facing other members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, she would ultimately still fall short.
"My way of improving strength is somewhat different from ordinary people! Moreover, this Chakra Fruit is extremely precious. I'm not a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
If I eat this Chakra Fruit, the effect won't be as good as if you, Kaguya, eat it!"
Hearing these words, an inexplicable feeling surged in Kaguya's heart.
She only felt her heart beating very fast in her chest.
She didn't know why, but her heart felt very warm.
Warm, like a small grass waiting for sunlight in the cold winter, finally seeing the sun.
Kaguya calmed her emotions and nodded seriously.
Yet her white eyes still carried a trace of worry.
"Although Isshiki is dead, the Ōtsutsuki Clan won't let this go. Sooner or later they'll discover this place."
Chiya grasped her hand, his gaze firm.
"Then we'll face soldiers with generals, water with earth. With me here, no one will be able to harm you."
Kaguya looked at him, and her cold face finally showed a gentle smile.
She leaned gently on his shoulder, saying softly.
"Thank you, Chiya."
After a moment of tenderness, Kaguya picked up the Chakra Fruit and took a bite.
The fruit was crisp, like eating an apple.
In less than a moment, Kaguya had eaten it clean.
Kaguya's entire aura immediately began to surge violently, the chakra aftershock directly throwing Chiya back.
Kaguya's nails, her hair...
Suddenly began to grow.
On her head, two horns also began to grow.
Between her forehead, red light flickered and a gap appeared.
A Nine Tomoe Rinnegan opened.
Even her clothes, covered by chakra, transformed into white robes with black tomoe patterns.
Her entire temperament suddenly transformed.
And just at this moment.
In the direction of the Dragon Vein, a glimmering white light suddenly shot toward the sky.
Chiya's body also began to emit white light.
"What is this?"
Chiya looked at his hands, which seemed to be becoming transparent.
What the hell?
"System, system, what's going on?"
Chiya was full of questions.
[Answering host.]
[According to detection, the Dragon Vein's chakra power has been drained dry, causing the spatial energy mixed within the Dragon Vein to gather and create resonance.]
[The host has contacted the Dragon Vein before and is currently not far from the Dragon Vein, so resonance has occurred.]
Resonance?
Dragon Vein?
What gibberish is this!
Chiya's lower body had already begun to gradually become transparent, as if being erased bit by bit by an invisible hand.
"System, explain it simply!"
[The host may be brought back to the original starting point by the spatial energy.]
The original starting point?
It couldn't be Loran, could it?!
Sensing the abnormality on Chiya's side.
Kaguya, whose chakra had not yet stabilized, directly used Yomotsu Hirasaka to come before Chiya.
Looking at Chiya, she raised her hand trying to grab his hand.
But to Kaguya's surprise, her hand actually passed right through.
"Chiya..."
Kaguya madly activated her chakra, veins appearing around her Byakugan.
Her hand grabbed again, but still like before, grasped only empty air.
"Chiya!"
Kaguya was clearly panicking, her voice somewhat choked.
In her white eyes, tears flowed unstoppably.
Looking at Kaguya who was right before him.
Chiya forcibly suppressed the irritation in his heart and took a deep breath.
He showed her a brilliant smile.
"It's fine. I'm just temporarily going back. Didn't I tell you last time?
I came from another spacetime, so I don't know when I'll leave."
"Kaguya, please don't cry."
"We're only temporarily separated. We'll eventually meet again in the future!"
"..."
The last moment before the white light swallowed Chiya's vision.
Kaguya was already sobbing uncontrollably, collapsed on the ground.
