The Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball, which should have been boundless and flawless, was torn with a huge gap by the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing, creating a loophole in the perfect Amenominaka space.
A corner of the sky tilted, and the earth collapsed accordingly. The entire lava space was destroyed along with the runaway Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball.
Kaguya, floating in the air, coldly glanced at Naruto, then raised her hand and tore open a portal like a black mosaic, her entire body swimming into it.
"Wait, don't run! Continue fighting me!" Naruto roared as he chased after her, but his flying speed was somewhat inferior.
By the time he pounced to where Kaguya had been, the black portal in the void had already closed.
"Damn it!" The boy's brow furrowed, cursing through gritted teeth.
First separated from his comrades, then the Fourth Hokage's Edo Tensei body sacrificed himself for him, yet he still allowed Kaguya to escape from before him.
The repeated blows left the always optimistic Naruto somewhat downcast, rarely showing a discouraged appearance.
In a place he didn't notice, within the dark tide surging behind the damaged space, a pure white thin line was drawing a semicircle, rapidly approaching his position.
The surrounding magma also boiled due to this rapidly approaching massive heat source. Finally, when the light pierced the darkness and tore through the destructive tide, a deafening roar erupted, startling Naruto.
Boom!!!
The particle collision transcended space-time and struck the lava space. The blasted sea of magma exposed the lowest subsoil.
In the pit shrouded in smoke, three shadows were slowly writhing. A familiar voice reached his ears.
"Cough, this damn place is really big. I wonder how much longer we'll have to search!" Sakura stood up straight, putting down the dizzy Sasuke.
"Sasuke, Sakura-chan!!!"
Naruto, his face full of excitement, descended from the sky and pounced toward the two.
"Yo!" The girl showed him a bright smile. "Naruto, where's the Fourth Hokage?"
"Dad sacrificed himself to protect me..."
The excitement that had just risen on Naruto's face turned back to dejection. The two ribbons of his forehead protector, like ears, drooped.
"Alright then, let's go take back from Kaguya what your father lost, along with his share!"
Sakura raised her hand and rubbed his head, then reached out to grab the still-dizzy Sasuke.
'What, again?'
The deep blue brilliance composed of countless free electrons danced in the air. Sasuke, whose Observation Haki sensed Sakura's ability starting to activate again, quickly wrapped his body in Armament Haki and simultaneously entered his half-beast form.
"Naruto, quickly protect your body with your maximized Haki!!!"
Called out by him, Naruto was startled and turned his head in confusion. "Huh? Argh—!"
The ferocious heat was bound within this narrow world, struggling violently. The rampaging hurricanes and thunder tore through space again. The lingering sound turned into a deafening roar that assaulted every eardrum.
Then the figures of the several people were swallowed by the blazing brilliance. The whole world seemed to fall into silence.
…
Inside the primordial space of Amenominaka, Kaguya's figure squeezed out of the portal like a black mosaic.
Her extremely pure Byakugan widened. Veins bulged around her eye sockets. Her gaze crossed the limits of space to directly observe the nursery outside the space.
"Chakra... so scarce."
Sensing the situation of the entire Ninja World, her beautiful eyebrows lightly furrowed.
Because the vast majority of the Ninja World's living beings had been infected by the Chimera Virus, optimized by Hashirama's cells, and then, when the Ten-Tails revived, had shared in a portion of Chakra, transforming into White Zetsu.
Although Kaguya now possessed a vast army spanning the world, for the cultivation of Chakra, these thoughtless White Zetsu were unable to integrate large amounts of Spiritual Energy and Physical Energy to produce new Chakra.
"I have to recultivate this nursery again? How... annoying."
Kaguya sighed softly, raised her hand, and used Yomotsu Hirasaka, preparing to return to the Ninja World.
Just then, outside the primordial space, ripples of Chakra rose like waves, filling the sky and sea, reaching everywhere.
When the endless heat collided, the vast energy that would bring all things to heat death pierced space-time.
The aurora descended!
Sakura, her entire body burning with pale flames, pulled the blackened Sasuke and Naruto out of the energy impact in one step.
The moment they saw Kaguya, the three did not hesitate, each greeting her face with their strongest techniques.
"Sage Art: Phosphorus Erosion Rasenshuriken!" / "One-Sword Style: Ame no Tokotachi!" / "Sage Art Senjutsu Evolution: Spear of Decay!"
The powerful forces, fusing two worlds, the spear, the sword, and the fresh Rasengan Naruto had just rolled, all resonated, slamming hard into the caught-off-guard Kaguya.
Boom!
Amidst the deep, low sound of the collision, the Rabbit Goddess's body was physically blasted apart by their combined attack.
The primordial space, dyed in gorgeous colors by the explosion, turned crimson. From within the countless crimson flames, a vast outline slowly emerged from the depths.
"You... unforgivable!"
Her shattered body expanded and converged, revealing the form of the Ten-Tails. Kaguya raised her fists, using her Tailed Beast body to launch the Eighty Gods Vacuum Strike.
An integrated offense and defense appeared, merciless fist descended from the sky. The dense fist shadows covered every direction of evasion that Sakura's future-seeing Observation Haki could glimpse.
"Hahaha, come on, fight to your heart's content!"
The pink-haired girl laughed heartily, letting go of the long spear in her hand. Senjutsu Chakra and two Haki filled her entire body, causing her body to erupt with vast amounts of steam and dark thunder.
—Sage Art: Boil Release: Unrivalled Monstrous Strength!
Under the integration of the quadruple monstrous strength, Sakura's fist collided head-on with the falling Gods Vacuum Strike. But unexpectedly, there was no deafening sound.
The moment they touched, the force erupting from her fists had already slapped the fist shadows into dust, filling the entire space with the Ten-Tails' violent Chakra.
"Annoying meddlers, all of you die!"
Pulling back from Sakura, Kaguya in her rabbit form flicked her long tail. Dozens of gray bone spikes slowly extended from its tip.
"That attack again. Sasuke, pull Sakura back!"
Naruto, floating, saw the All-Killing Ash Bones, called out to Sasuke, and formed hand seals to use the Shadow Clone Technique.
Sasuke, stepping on the flame cloud, swung a bolt of lightning to split Kaguya's tail, raised one hand, and supported his Rinnegan with tomoes.
The next moment, Amenotejikara activated, replacing the charging Sakura back. Susanoo's Chakra unfolded before the two.
Kaguya, in her Ten-Tails form, flicked her tail, using inertia to fling out countless All-Killing Ash Bones. The overwhelming tide of destruction descended from the sky. Susanoo, like a small boat, was shaken violently by the stabbing.
"At this rate, she'll wear us down here. Sakura, you need to create an opportunity for us to seal her!" Sasuke placed one hand on Sakura's shoulder, his purple eyes fixed on her!
Calming her madly beating heart, Sakura took a deep breath. "How much time do you two need?"
Sasuke's gaze met Naruto's. Without needing to communicate, they already knew each other's thoughts.
He lowered his head and spread his five fingers. "Five minutes!"
Sakura raised her hand and slapped his palm.
"Leave it to me!"
