"I'll just give you one punch."
Boom!
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!"
As soon as the words fell, before the god of death could even see what was happening, an unimaginably terrifying force sent him flying. He tumbled non-stop, completely out of control, and after breaking through an unknown number of mountain ranges, the impact finally began to slow.
However, after finally stopping, his body was a bloody mess, half of it worn away, his clothes shredded like a beggar's, no, even worse.
"Oh my god, what happened? Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
The god of death, utterly bewildered, felt the pain in his body. He had just been a slightly strong ant, so why had he been beaten into this state in the blink of an eye?
"Neji, are you... are you okay?"
Not just the god of death, even Kaguya looked at Neji with confusion.
"There, there, it's okay now." Neji lowered his head and deeply kissed Kaguya. Through this, Neji transferred his power into Kaguya, and in an instant, the turmoil in Kaguya's belly subsided.
Feeling Neji's warmth through their lips and smelling his distinct scent, Kaguya became absolutely, 300% sure that Neji was alive.
Overcome with emotion, she lunged at Neji, nuzzling him like a kitten, which made Neji smile wryly.
Such public displays of affection naturally angered the single onlookers. The god of death, who had finally recovered and was plotting revenge, saw them like this and remembered his own lonely days. Overcome with rage, he grabbed his Death's Scythe and slashed at them.
"Hm?" Neji sensed the killing intent from behind and his expression turned a little grim. He was about to kiss her again when this inconsiderate fool rushed over.
Without a word, Neji unleashed the Eight Trigrams One Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms…
In the end, only thirty-two palms were thrown before the god of death couldn't take the attack and exploded. This made Neji once again marvel at the power he possessed.
"It's no use. We gods don't die."
Not long after, the god of death resurrected again, stubbornly yelling like a cockroach. He had finally realized that the power of the person before him had changed drastically, and he might not be a match. But so what?
He would exhaust Neji to death.
"You're really persistent, acting like a child who doesn't know when to quit. But too bad, you've angered me. Never mind if you're a child, even if you were a baby, I'd beat you until you cried for your mommy."
Neji released Kaguya from his embrace, and his figure flashed. Before the god of death could even see what happened, his body was sent flying again. Neji followed closely, gathering wind chakra onto the kunai in his hand, forming a sharp short blade.
"Damn it!"
The god of death waved his hands, and earthen spikes erupted from the ground. Facing these menacing spikes, Neji's eyes widened, and the unique ocular power of the Byakugan shattered all the approaching spikes.
However, using this opportunity, the god of death used Yomotsu Hirasaka to escape to a distance. But before he could celebrate, Neji appeared before him. With a grin, Neji's kunai severed one of his red horns.
"No, impossible! You... you can also pierce through space?"
The god of death's heart trembled as he watched the kunai slash past his horns. Even knowing he wouldn't die, his heart pounded.
It was all too terrifying. If his kunai had been even slightly lower, his skull would have been split open on the spot. Such a situation would chill even a god to the bone.
"Pierce through space?" Neji said with disdain. "I need to pierce through space to deal with you?"
He had simply used pure speed. The Gelel Stone had improved him in all aspects, from Ninjutsu to physical strength.
"Impossible!"
The god of death shrieked. No matter what, he refused to admit that he couldn't keep up with Neji's pure speed after crossing space.
"Heh, then this time I'll slow down so you can see."
In the eyes of the god of death, Neji just lightly tapped his toes, and his body surged forward like lightning. Before he could even react, Neji grabbed him by the head and slammed him to the ground.
Neji flicked his hand, and five stone chains coiled up from beneath the god of death, firmly binding his limbs and head to the ground.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
The god of death struggled, but Neji's chuckle was his only response. After unleashing his full power, he had also fully mastered the Yin-Yang Release.
He briefly recalled the appearance of the god of death's mask. In that instant, a mask resembling a Ryo-tooth demon suddenly appeared in his empty hand, and it was of excellent quality.
Yin-Yang Release, in essence, was the foundation of creation, producing something from nothing and giving life to what was created. Theoretically, as long as one had enough chakra and a rich imagination, anything could be done.
Therefore, Yin-Yang Release could be called the power of a 'god.'
"Since wearing this makes you manifest, then the thing sealing you must be this."
Neji played with the mask in his hand, speaking in a way that the god of death didn't quite understand. However, he grasped one thing: Neji intended to seal him, so he immediately began to struggle.
"Give up. The power gap between us is too vast. You can't stop me. Just accept your sealing."
Neji commanded, clasping his hands together. Two forces, one Yin and one Yang, appeared on either side of his body. An immensely powerful gravitational pull directly dragged the god of death lying on the ground towards him. Before the god of death could even speak, he was compressed into the mask by the Yin-Yang power, completely sealed.
Neji hadn't completely sealed the god of death. With his current vision, he could only tell that Kaguya hadn't fully sealed the evil god. This was all because Neji had told Kaguya about the future.
To avoid changing the circumstances of Neji and Kaguya's meeting, they both deliberately left a tiny loophole, solely to allow Neji to return here a thousand years later.
At this moment, a force suddenly emanated from Kaguya, pulling Neji towards her unexpectedly. Kaguya then embraced Neji and gently kissed him.
"Neji, I love you, but, goodbye…"
Neji felt a sliver of Kaguya's power seep through their lips, causing his body to briefly numb. In that short moment, Kaguya, crying, separated from him and reluctantly pushed him into a spatial rift within the cliff face.
"No, Kaguya, stop it!!!"
Neji shouted. After he finally broke through the numbness in his body, the cliff face had already begun to slowly close.
In Neji's final gaze, he saw Kaguya's figure, crouching on the ground, her sorrowful form gradually shrinking.
