"What a pity, Uchiha Madara!"
Sakura raised her finger, preparing to welcome the incoming impact.
Madara's schemes had been layered one after another. To prevent the Ten-Tails from encountering Sakura head-on, he had Obito revive the Ten-Tails early while the Allied Forces were clearing out the Chimera mutants.
Then, even before the God Tree had fully developed, he forcibly pushed Obito into the position of Jinchuriki, and also abandoned the use of the Jinchuriki Edo Tensei puppets during the Ten-Tails' battle with the Allied Forces.
Madara allowed the members of the Allied Forces to eliminate and seal the Chimera mutants, as well as the Edo Tensei bodies created from the people and Ninjas of the Land of Water and the Land of Earth.
All of this was only to minimize the possibility of Sakura using her strength to forcibly save any of the Tailed Beasts, thereby allowing his Eye of the Moon plan to proceed unimpeded.
Unfortunately… the more one schemes, the more likely the schemes are to fail due to unexpected circumstances.
"Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Madara, you heroes of the Ninja World may be exceptional in armed force, but in the end, you still only have the vision of ordinary people!"
Black Zetsu had completely fused into Madara's body, fully covering the surface of Madara's swollen form, which had expanded due to extracting excessive Chakra. "Unable to escape the thinking of Ninjas is the reason you will ultimately be destroyed. It's time to end everything!"
The ground and the air trembled under that vast Chakra. Obito, losing his support, crashed to the ground. The swollen Madara, after being completely covered by Black Zetsu, began to shrink, gradually revealing a figure clad in a flowing, long haori.
The moment the restraints were released, a vast spirit and phantom manifested from her body. Amidst Black Zetsu's ecstasy, the long-haired figure could barely restrain herself from revealing her true appearance!
Her skin and long, pale blue-white hair were brushed by the cold wind. Her features were delicate and beautiful. Two horns grew on her head, and she had long nails.
She wore a white robe patterned with black tomoes. Her eyes were Byakugan, and a Rinne Sharingan was on her forehead. The woman slowly opened her eyes.
She was… the Rabbit Goddess, Otsutsuki Kaguya.
"Ugh, this Chakra!" Minato's waist bent. The stones beneath his feet disintegrated into cracks due to the heavy pressure of the Chakra.
"Attack, Sasuke!"
Naruto and Sasuke, standing beside Minato, exchanged glances. The two simultaneously charged at Kaguya, extending the technique hands that the Sage of Six Paths had given them, planning to seal her directly before she fully regained consciousness.
But unfortunately, Kaguya, the Progenitor of Chakra, even with her consciousness still in chaos, was not so easily dealt with. Her hair rose on its own, tightly entangling the charging Naruto and Sasuke.
"I see, Hamura and Hagoromo... no, Indra and Asura?"
Kaguya, her head lowered, raised her eyes. Veins bulged from her eye sockets. Her gaze pierced through Naruto and Sasuke's bodies, glimpsing the paths of their Chakra flow, as well as the Yin Release and Yang Release in their hands.
"It was Hagoromo who passed those techniques to you, wasn't it!" Kaguya's body floated above the ground. She turned her head and stared at the other girl with a strong Otsutsuki aura. "And who are you?"
"Hahaha, just a passing pirate!" Sakura chuckled, tilting her head at a forty-five-degree angle. "By the way, aren't you going to continue building your nation of all peoples, Linlin?" (T/N: The Voice Actor for Kaguya is the same as Big Mom.)
"All nonsense. Has the main family sent someone of your caliber to deal with me?" Kaguya's ferocious Byakugan filled with killing intent. "Then you underestimate me too much!"
—Kekkei Mora: Amenominaka!
Vast Chakra replaced the entire space. The earth burned in flames. Molten lava flowed from the sky.
Gorgeous colors filled the dim primordial space. The scorching air, accompanied by the burnt stench of sulfur, rushed into everyone's sense of smell. Gravity pulled Sakura and Minato down toward the endless lava pool below.
The sudden change shocked and dazed everyone except Sakura.
Involuntarily, they cast their gazes.
The majesty of the progenitor was thus displayed without doubt!
"This place, this land is my precious nursery. I cannot let it be hurt again. Let us end this here, you and Hagoromo's children!"
Kaguya's hair, longer than her body, violently flung the entangled Naruto and Sasuke, sending them falling toward the lava pool as well.
"Thank you for initially changing the battlefield to one where I can go all out!" In mid-air, Sakura looked back and showed a smile.
The next moment, her ability to deprive heat poured out. Even the heat of the universe's expansion could be interfered with, thus, to a certain extent, the extreme cold current that could stagnate space-time spread.
The originally scorching, burning crimson hell, those terrifying lava covering the ground like an ocean, were frozen in the blink of an eye. The entire lava space was suddenly transformed into a pure white snowy country.
The frozen black ash floated in the air, colliding with Kaguya's flawless face and shattering into fragments, as if taunting her.
"Put away your swaggering manner, killer of the main family. This is my world!" Kaguya raised her hand expressionlessly. The long hair behind her stood up.
—Kekkei Mora: Rabbit Hair Needle!
"Tch, who are you calling a killer of the main family? I'm not a member of your Otsutsuki Clan!"
Sakura, shooting forward, caught Naruto and Sasuke, who were about to crash into the ground. Behind her, the innocent Fourth Hokage crashed headfirst into the obsidian, and quite a few pieces of gray paper from his Edo Tensei body began to float away.
"Um, I think maybe you could treat me a little more gently!" Minato, climbing up from the ground, weakly raised his hand.
"Now is not the time for that!"
Facing the incoming hair, Sakura put Naruto and Sasuke down and again hoisted the Fourth Hokage, his Edo Tensei body, onto her shoulder.
—Ninja Art: Substitution Technique!
Sakura grasped the Fourth Hokage's waist with both hands and spun him at high speed, using his dead body to block all the Rabbit Hair Needles aimed at their vital points.
"Oh, Naruto, your dad is so useful!"
Seeing Minato block all the needles, Sakura turned her head and gave Naruto a thumbs-up behind her.
"You monster! Are you a demon?!"
Seeing his father used like this, Naruto's eyes bulged from their sockets, and he bared his shark teeth, roaring at Sakura.
"Don't just stand there, more are coming!"
The tomoes in Sasuke's Rinnegan spun. He directly used his Ocular Power to guard against every move of Kaguya. Seeing her move again, he quickly called out a warning.
In the distance, Kaguya had already raised her hand, tearing open a pitch-black portal in the void, and her entire body slowly fusing into it.
—Kekkei Mora: Yomotsu Hirasaka!
The technique to freely shuttle through space allowed Otsutsuki Kaguya to silently come behind the three, raising her hands to pinch Naruto and Sasuke's chins.
"My Chakra! It's time to return!" Kaguya tilted her head. Tears shimmered in her eyes.
Black Zetsu then extended from her sleeve, instantly wrapping half of the two's bodies. At the same time, using consummate Yin-Yang Release, he suppressed Naruto and Sasuke's Chakra, giving them the same stiffness that Madara had experienced.
"Hey, hey, is it okay to treat my comrades like that? Isn't that a bit too dismissive!"
