Chapter 637 - Konoha's Sword Saint [637]

After throwing Naruto away, Sasuke had begun to fall rapidly and had already resigned himself to death. But at that critical moment, he heard Hoshiyomi's shout.

He hurriedly opened his eyes and saw that from the other side of the spatial rift—now reduced to only a few square centimeters—a massive white claw was flying toward him.

Sasuke was overjoyed. Seizing the opportunity, he immediately activated the ability of his right eye—Amenotejikara.

Under the effect of Amenotejikara, Sasuke's body broke through the limitations of space and instantly swapped places with that enormous severed white claw.

In this way, Sasuke finally returned to the Origin Dimension, while the gigantic white claw took his place and sank into the endless Acid Sea.

At last, Naruto, Sasuke, and Hoshiyomi were reunited once more.

On the other side, Kaguya—who had just managed to suppress the consciousness of the Divine Tree after absorbing a sufficient amount of chakra—looked up to find Naruto, Sasuke, and Hoshiyomi all staring intently at her.

At that moment, a feeling called regret suddenly welled up in Kaguya's heart.

If I had known it would end like this, I would have been better off letting the Divine Tree continue to control this body.

But now was no time for complaints. Seeing the three rapidly approaching, Kaguya knew clearly that she absolutely could not fight them here. Just Hoshiyomi alone was already more than enough to give her a headache.

With Naruto and Sasuke added to the mix, there was no way she could possibly handle them.

With that in mind, Kaguya immediately used Amenominaka to shift space. As her thoughts moved, the three were instantly transported into a dimension that even Kaguya herself dared not enter lightly—the Gravity Dimension.

Boom!

An overwhelming gravitational force descended. All four present—including Kaguya herself—were crushed to the ground by the terrifying supergravity.

The gravity in this dimension far surpassed even Ōnoki's Ultra-Weighted Rock Technique. Even Naruto and Sasuke, who had already stepped into Six Paths–level power, found it extremely difficult to move.

Compared to Naruto and Sasuke, Kaguya, as the progenitor of chakra, fared much better. At the very least, she was still able to remain standing.

Looking at the three who seemed unable to even move a finger, Kaguya forced a smile. Perhaps she could eliminate all three of them here after all.

"Do you feel this terrifying gravity? In this gravity dimension, you are destined to become nothing more than living targets."

Kaguya struggled to declare her victory, but the moment her words fell, Gekko Hoshiyomi—on the other side—laboriously drew the Grass Long Sword, Kusanagi Blade. Using the sword as a crutch, he forced himself to stand up:

"I'm afraid I have to disappoint you, Lady Kaguya. Your little scheme is destined to fail."

Seeing Hoshiyomi's strained state, Kaguya snorted coldly:

"Gekko Hoshiyomi, stop boasting. In your current state, you probably can't even lift the sword in your hand."

As she spoke, Kaguya raised both hands. From the sleeves of her robe shot two dark-gray bones—the annihilating All-Killing Ash Bones.

Yet as the Ash Bones slowly flew toward him, Hoshiyomi showed no fear. With great effort, he raised the Grass Long Sword, Kusanagi Blade and said to Kaguya:

"You're right. In this gravity dimension, even lifting my sword is extremely difficult. But that doesn't mean I can't cut you."

As he spoke, Hoshiyomi's figure vanished instantly from where he stood.

This was the advanced form of Dance of the StartlingSwan—Heavenly Rift Flash.

The gravity dimension indeed placed tremendous pressure on Hoshiyomi, but that terrifying gravity did not affect the casting range of Heavenly Rift Flash.

Even in this oppressive space, Heavenly Rift Flash could still achieve free movement within a thirty-meter radius.

The distance between Hoshiyomi and Kaguya was less than a hundred meters, and at this moment, thanks to the recovery of Sword Shadow, Hoshiyomi still had five remaining charges of Dance of the Startling Swan.

Without conserving them, he used three charges in one breath. His figure vanished again, piercing through space and appearing directly in front of Kaguya, the Grass Long Sword, Kusanagi Blade precisely stabbing into the Rinne-Sharingan on her forehead.

Kaguya had never imagined that Hoshiyomi could still perform instantaneous movement in the gravity dimension. Even if she had known, she would not have been able to evade it under such gravity.

The Grass Long Sword, Kusanagi Blade pierced straight into the Rinne-Sharingan, and the overwhelming pain nearly drove Kaguya mad.

Although Kaguya would not die from the intense pain in her forehead, the terrifying agony was still more than she could endure. Unable to withstand it, Kaguya chose to use Amenominaka once again.

As the scene shifted, everyone returned to the Origin Dimension—the place Kaguya was most familiar with.

The instant they arrived, Kaguya struck out with her palm at the nearby Hoshiyomi, blasting him far away. At the same time, she hurriedly pulled Grass Long Sword, Kusanagi Blade, attempting to heal the Rinne-Sharingan on her forehead.

Hoshiyomi, who was vomiting blood from the force of Kaguya's palm, wore a satisfied smile at that moment. He used his will to command the Grass Long Sword, Kusanagi Blade to suddenly fly out of Kaguya's forehead while simultaneously shouting to those behind him:

"Naruto! Sasuke! I'll leave the rest to you!"

"Understood!"

The two shouted in unison and charged straight toward Kaguya.

Kaguya was in an utterly miserable state now. Watching Naruto and Sasuke rush at her, she screamed hysterically:

"Don't even think about sealing me again!"

As she spoke, she raised both hands, firing two All-Killing Ash Bones from her sleeves toward Naruto and Sasuke, who were closing in from left and right.

At the final moment, Hoshiyomi could only manage to swing the Mikazuki Munechika at his waist with a backhand motion, sending out a sword energy to knock away the All-Killing Ash Bone aimed at Naruto. But he had no way to deal with the one aimed at Sasuke.

Watching as the All-Killing Ash Bone pierced Sasuke's abdomen, Kaguya revealed a nearly deranged smile:

"With this, there's absolutely no way you can seal me!"

But in the next second, the smile on Kaguya's face froze. The "Sasuke" who had been struck by the All-Killing Ash Bone suddenly made a funny face at her before turning into a cloud of smoke with a poof—revealing himself to be Naruto.

This Sasuke was actually a Shadow Clone of Naruto.

Meanwhile, the real Sasuke, hidden nearby, activated Amenotejikara at the critical moment and swapped positions with the Naruto clone that had been pierced.

In that instant, Naruto and Sasuke appeared simultaneously on Kaguya's left and right. Kaguya frantically tried to use Yomotsu Hirasaka to escape upward, only to find that her body had momentarily frozen.

She looked down and saw Gekko Hoshiyomi lying on the ground, his left hand raised toward her. In front of him, a crimson gravitational vortex enveloped her.

It was Hoshiyomi's final Soul-Devouring Demon-Sealing Slash.

Hoshiyomi's attack extinguished Kaguya's last chance of escape.

Naruto and Sasuke reached out their hands, gripping Kaguya on either side. The Sun and Moon marks on their palms made contact with her body.

In the outside world, the Sage of Six Paths felt the fluctuation of the Sun and Moon seals in his hands. He wore a satisfied smile and gently pressed his palms together.

Six Paths — Planetary Devastation!
