A black Chakra ball as deep as the universe was held in Kurama's hand. When it appeared in front of everyone, the fist-sized black ball instantly grew. In the blink of an eye, it expanded to match Kurama's size.
Even without special sensing ninjutsu, they could feel the energy inside that black Chakra ball.
It held stronger power than Kaguya's earlier incomplete expanding Truth-Seeking Ball!
According to Kaguya, this one strike could destroy half a planet.
Kaguya's eyes were serious, her face showing surprise: "You really dare to use this move on me? An attack like this would turn half of the planet under our feet into dust in the universe... Are you crazy?"
"Hmm? Why do you think that?" Kurama let out a creepy laugh. "Trading half a planet for you getting badly hurt— isn't that a good deal?"
Kaguya was at a loss for words.
She was right—she couldn't be killed, and no matter how bad the injury, she'd heal in a short time. But that didn't mean she wanted to get hurt. It hurt a lot. Most importantly, what if she got injured and Naruto and Sasuke showed up to seal her?
Oh, wait—if half the planet below was blown up, Naruto and Sasuke would definitely come out. With her badly hurt, what difference would there be from being a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of those two?
So she couldn't take this move.
"But I can dodge." A black space portal opened. Kaguya gave Kurama a cold look.
As her words fell, Kaguya's figure slowly vanished into the black portal. The portal closed, leaving only that black ball full of terrifying energy floating in the sky.
"Kaguya ran." Sakura looked at where Kaguya had disappeared, pointing at the black ball in the sky with one finger. "What do we do with this thing?"
Kurama stared in silence, then grinned and gave a thumbs up: "Have Kakashi send it to the Kamui space!"
Kakashi: "..."
Never mind whether I can even move something this terrifying—did you forget there are other people in the Kamui space?
"Don't tell me you didn't think about how to deal with this thing?" Kakashi swallowed hard, his face pale as he pointed at the black ball in the sky.
Kurama blinked with complete innocence, then...
"Heh heh~"
"Are you trying to act cute!" Kakashi was starting to lose it. "This thing could blow up half the planet under our feet! Don't tell me you didn't think about
What should I do?"
Is the ninja world's enemy Kurama?
Why would I have such a dream?
Just as Kakashi and Sakura were about to give Kurama a good scolding, Hashirama and Madara landed beside them. But to Kurama's surprise, Hashirama's face didn't show much worry. Instead, he looked at Kurama with wide, innocent eyes.
Madara crossed his arms and looked at the sky, his tone still calm: "Are you ready?"
Kurama pouted: "Fine if I can't fool you, but why does Hashirama look so innocent too?"
Hashirama: "?"
Hashirama was about to argue back when he heard Madara's voice.
"Because he's stupid." Madara answered without thinking. "He's not stupidly innocent—he's innocently stupid. That's why he believes you as a 'companion.'"
Kurama: "Is there a difference between those two?"
Madara didn't answer. He just quietly watched Hashirama.
Hashirama scratched his head: "Madara probably means that it's not because I'm stupid that I seem this way, but because I'm this way, I seem stupid. Right, Madara?"
Seeing Hashirama's proud face as he sought praise, Kurama's mouth twitched.
This guy's eyes really showed innocent foolishness.
But Kurama had known that for a while.
He looked at the black Chakra ball in the sky and smiled faintly: "Anyway, the final battle is about to start... Old man, now's the time to make up for what I'm missing, right?"
A black space portal opened again, right next to that black Chakra ball. But Kaguya's figure didn't appear.
As if guided, the Chakra ball that could destroy half a planet slowly floated into the portal. It carried a destructive aura as it vanished from the ninja world.
...
In the desert space, a black space portal opened. Kaguya's figure slowly flew out of it: "I'll go back out after that thing explodes."
This space hadn't been marked by Kamui or Flying Thunder God, so no worry about them suddenly showing up here. Kaguya could use the time to rest well.
Black Zetsu, hidden in Kaguya's sleeve, looked around the space, then at Kaguya. In his deep, muffled voice, he said: "Mother, you could have just used Yomotsu Hirasaka to throw that troublesome ninjutsu into space. How could someone of your status do something like running away..."
"Black Zetsu
..." Kaguya cut him off. "Compared to those five guys outside, do you think I'm stronger or weaker?"
Black Zetsu paused, then said without hesitation: "Of course you're stronger."
"Is that so? But I think if those five had a way to seal me, I might have lost already." Kaguya sounded a bit down. "Their fight with me from the start wasn't to beat me—it was to hold me back until Naruto and Sasuke showed up."
"That's why our battle has been so intense." Kaguya's form slowly descended from the sky, landing on a vast stretch of yellow sand.
"This... this can't be..." Black Zetsu clearly didn't believe it, but his tone wasn't so sure.
He himself didn't have much fighting power, but he could still judge basics.
Ever since Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara joined, the battle between both sides had gotten strange. The other five had the power to hold Kaguya down. If not for her immortality, those five might really pull off something like slaying a god...
"They haven't used their full strength yet." Kaguya raised her right hand and looked at Black Zetsu in her sleeve, her tone serious. "That move from Kurama just now was proof."
"They have ways to hurt me, better fighting sense than me, sharper judgment, more surprising tactics... Their power level is close to mine too. I'm no match for them..." Kaguya lowered her right hand and looked at the sun in the sky. "They just don't have a way to kill me, so there's no point in wasting energy pointlessly."
Black Zetsu's face fell: "Mother... then what do we do? Hide in this space they haven't found and never go out?"
Kaguya stayed silent.
After a long moment, she slowly shook her head: "That Uchiha Sasuke already has the Rinnegan. His life level is almost at Otsutsuki height. He'll find this space soon. Hiding longer won't help much."
"And... they might already be here." Kaguya turned her head, her tone cold. "Or do you really think Kurama would risk half a planet on a bet that I wouldn't dodge? He... they aren't that foolish."
Black Zetsu was slightly stunned and instinctively looked in the direction Kaguya was facing.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank. His eyes were full of horror as he stared ahead.
