That was a chakra ball about to explode, with power strong enough to match an expanding Truth-Seeking Ball.
Yes, that was Kurama's strongest attack, which it had gathered for most of the day!
"Why is it in this space!" Black Zetsu cried out in shock.
Kaguya kept her calm face as a huge black Truth-Seeking Ball slowly formed beside her: "This is an attack my body can't block directly anymore. Even if I don't die, I'll lose my ability to fight."
I can only use defensive ninjutsu... Even if I cancel it with a technique of the same power, it won't work. This technique's strength is too great, big enough to wipe out this whole desert space.
Not to mention I can't use a technique like this in a short time to cancel it out, even if I could, the two world-ending techniques canceling each other would still release enough force to blow through the entire desert space.
And I'd get hit by both forces at once...
In this space, I can only defend.
The black Truth-Seeking Ball wrapped around Kaguya. She looked calmly at the world-ending ninjutsu about to explode, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh: "I've been tricked..."
The next second, the whole desert space shook...
That burning light scorched everything. Even the sand crystallized under the glow, then got destroyed again.
In the space, countless cracks kept appearing and then getting fixed. Endless darkness covered the entire desert space... no, it couldn't be called a desert space anymore. There was nothing left here, not even the ground felt real.
At the end of the light, countless black Truth-Seeking Ball fragments fell, then turned into chakra and faded away.
In the center, the battered Truth-Seeking Ball barrier suddenly shattered. Kaguya stepped out from it, breathing heavily.
Yes, she wasn't hurt, at least not on the outside.
She had layered countless Truth-Seeking Ball barriers. The moment one broke, another one immediately took its place. She kept repairing them like that, over a thousand layers, so she was unharmed, but the energy inside her had gone wild from the intense use.
She wouldn't run out of chakra, but using too much at once still left her feeling tired.
The temperature in the desert space shot up fast, higher than the lava space. Every breath felt like swallowing magma.
"Mother..." Black Zetsu said, sounding worried.
"It's fine." Kaguya's eyes showed fatigue. She waved her right hand, opening a space path connected to the ice and snow space.
Right now, she just wanted to go cool off in the snow space.
Her body slowly slipped into the space path. In the dark, endless passage, she closed her Byakugan, held her chest, and breathed out the hot air. She felt a bit worn out...
"Six Paths Sage Art: Heavenly Life Star, Dragon Palace!"
"Six Paths Sage Art: Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Kaguya's eyes snapped wide open. For the first time, surprise showed in her unchanging eyes. Two strong chakra presences had appeared. Just as she closed her Byakugan, the two attacks were already right in front of her.
"Can you still face us after taking that world-ending technique, Kaguya?" Sasuke smirked, looking ahead like a crooked-mouthed war god. In his eyes, the red tomoe Rinnegan stood out.
"How awesome is your Naruto bro!" Naruto's eyes reflected Kaguya's shocked face. He grinned with his usual sunny smile, and his blue pupils gave off a faint glow.
Uzumaki Naruto... Uchiha Sasuke...
For the first time, anger appeared on Kaguya's face. Under these two Six Paths-level sneak attacks, she didn't even have time to defend. She could only watch as the attacks hit her.
Boom—
In the dark, endless space path, a bright light appeared for the first time. Even Kaguya's beautiful face looked dim in that glow.
Above the sky of the ice and snow space, a crack appeared out of nowhere. It paused for a second, then shattered like glass hit by a hammer. Kaguya's messy figure flew out from the path and crashed hard into the ground, kicking up an avalanche.
"These two guys..." Kaguya lay on the ground, covered in wounds. She opened her Byakugan again and stared hard at the two above her.
"Six Paths Sage Art: Heavenly Life Star, Sacred Soul!"
A purple tomoe fell like a giant knife that could cut the world in half.
Kaguya gritted her teeth. Her right hand forced out too much power, and strong chakra burst out: "Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"
The two powerful forces clashed and exploded suddenly in the ice and snow space.
Kaguya didn't even have time to stand up before a golden figure was at her side.
Naruto raised both hands. Nine Truth-Seeking Balls spun fast, turning into a golden sword that pierced the sky, and slashed down!
Six Paths Sage Art: Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
The ice and snow space split in two. Endless avalanches burst from the cracks between heaven and earth. Nature's power was undeniable.
But sadly, none of these three people feared nature.
"This is a powerful ninjutsu I practiced for a full year! At this close range, even you, Otsutsuki Kaguya, can't block it!" Naruto looked excited at the ground, at the torn sleeve and the completely severed right hand.
The Truth-Seeking Ball turned sword pinned down Black Zetsu in the sleeve. Naruto's eyes flowed with blue light as he looked toward the space path: "Behind you, Sasuke!"
Red light flared in Sasuke's eyes. Black lightning gathered in his hand. He turned without hesitation, gripping the lightning like a thunder god.
"Six Paths Sage Art: Amaterasu Chidori!"
The black path had just opened. Kaguya, inside it, had no time to react before the black lightning hit her. It slashed from her left shoulder, cutting off almost her entire left arm. But this move wasn't as strong as the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, and it got stuck halfway through.
With her right hand gone and her left almost cut off, Kaguya looked furious in her battered state. She didn't even speak—Gray Bones of Death already formed around her body.
Like a hedgehog.
But...
"I've got you." Sasuke looked up. His red tomoe Rinnegan flashed, and with a surge of eye power, his body vanished. The golden Naruto now held Kaguya tight.
Naruto grinned and shouted. A Truth-Seeking Ball flew to his side: "Sasuke! Yin-Yang power!"
Underground, red light flashed in Sasuke's eyes again. He had already swapped places with the Truth-Seeking Ball.
Naruto's right hand was on Kaguya's shoulder, and Sasuke's left hand was closing in. At this distance, the end seemed set.
As long as they triggered the Yin-Yang power and used Divine Chibaku Tensei, Kaguya would be sealed again, turning into a strand in the endless universe... If it hit, Kaguya would lose.
But at that moment, Kaguya suddenly calmed down. She looked at the two so close, then at Black Zetsu raging helplessly on the ground, and for a moment, she felt peace inside.
Naruto has me now. At this range, Yomotsu Hirasaka won't work in time. Amenominaka... no, Sasuke's Heavenly Hand Power can't trap him. What about merging with nature? No, that won't change the fact that they've caught me.
So... only the last move left?
Kaguya closed her eyes.
The next moment, Sasuke's left hand touched Kaguya's body. Yin-Yang power flowed between them.
"We won!" Naruto and Sasuke both smiled at the same time.
