Thanks to Shindai's reverse gravity magnetic field, Kaguya Otsutsuki's plan to use the hypergravity in her artificial gravity field to finish off Naruto and Sasuke failed.
Kaguya was forced to retreat into the Space of the Origin Ball and immediately floated up into the sky.
Obito and Kakashi glanced around. "We've been here before!"
"Leave the diversionary attack to me this time!" shouted Sasuke to Naruto. "Sensei Kakashi! Brother Obito! And Shindai! Please cover us!"
Shindai shook his head. "No. This time, let everyone cover you two instead!"
Naruto and Sasuke exchanged confused glances with Shindai, unsure of what he meant by "everyone."
Shindai released a massive amount of iron sand.
In the previous artificial gravity field, there hadn't been much except for iron sand, which Shindai had stored in large quantities.
With both hands forming hand seals, these iron sands began assembling into humanoid figures.
Looking up at Kaguya floating high above, Shindai said excitedly, "At this moment when everything is about to end, it's only appropriate that everyone participates!"
"Just watch closely! As the most powerful puppet master in the ninja world, I—Shindai—shall now unleash the ultimate puppet technique ever seen!"
[Puppet Technique! Eight Trigrams Sealing Array!]
Instantly, using the ninjas marked within the God Tree as mediums, Shindai transferred the Eight Trigrams Sealing Array Imprint onto the God Tree itself.
Then, using the God Tree as its central system, he connected with the spirits of all the ninjas wrapped inside it.
The effects of the Eight Trigrams Sealing Array extended beyond merely transferring chakra—it could also control people's minds through the imprints.
Behind Shindai appeared an illusory image of a tree, from which scattered lights drifted down, merging into the iron sand humanoids he'd created earlier.
These glowing points were the spirits of those trapped within the God Tree.
These originally formless iron sand figures gradually took shape.
Hikaku Uchiha, Pakura, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Itachi Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga, Jiraiya, Raikage A, Mei Terumi... familiar faces emerged one after another.
Then Shindai infused these bodies with the God Tree's chakra.
Excitement showed on Naruto's face. "Shindai!"
Seeing the familiar faces appearing here, especially Itachi giving Sasuke a slight nod, Sasuke's lips curled upward slightly.
Smiling, Kakashi murmured in admiration, "This kind of puppet technique truly marks the peak of Shindai's abilities!"
Looking at everyone gathered together, Obito gave Shindai a thumbs-up. "Shindai, I would call this your strongest move yet!"
Radiating confidence, Shindai shouted toward everyone, "You all see that monster in the sky, don't you? That's our enemy! From this moment on, I am your commander!"
"Hear my command: Protect Naruto and Sasuke, and seal her away!"
Itachi and Fugaku Uchiha stood beside Sasuke, looking up at Kaguya otsutsuki in the sky. "Sasuke, let's do this together!"
"Ahh! Brother! Father!"
"Susanoo!"
Three massive Susanoo erupted from the ground.
Rin Nohara stepped between Obito and Kakashi, flashing them both a smile. "Feels like ages since we fought together like this."
Obito felt exhilarated. "Then let's begin, Rin, Kakashi — it's showtime!"
Obito also activated his Susanoo, with Rin and Kakashi entering into its protection.
Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade performed the Summoning Jutsu, each standing atop Gamabunta, Manda, and Katsuyu respectively.
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced back at the three ninja with satisfaction. "This truly brings back memories. Feels just like the old days, leading you three on missions."
Jiraiya spoke to Hiruzen: "Old friend, how about after this battle, we treat you to a little fun?"
Hiruzen smiled and agreed: "Sounds great! I'll be counting on it!"
Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki approached Naruto, placing their hands on his shoulders.
"Naruto, we know the burden you've carried. Let us lend you our strength."
After channeling part of the Nine-Tails' power to Minato and the Susanoos, Naruto confidently slammed his right fist into his left palm. "Now I'm certain we're gonna win this fight!"
At this moment, Shindai had to act as the medium linking the God Tree and sustain this jutsu, so he couldn't join the battle directly.
Shindai told Hikaku Uchiha and Pakura: "You two go fight. No need to worry about me, because I still have it. Come forth! Kannazuki!"
Kannazuki, who had fought alongside Shindai all this time, reappeared at his side to guard him.
Hikaku Uchiha and Pakura each gave Shindai a hug: "Wait for us, Shindai."
High above in the sky, Kaguya otsutsuki and Black Zetsu glared furiously down at Shindai.
Black Zetsu said to Kaguya otsutsuki: "Mother, kill Shindai first, and these people should disappear!"
Even before Black Zetsu spoke, Kaguya otsutsuki was already determined to kill Shindai: "Thief who dares steal my chakra! Die already!"
[Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!]
Kaguya concentrated chakra into her palms and released countless powerful fists into the air toward Shindai.
At the same time, numerous ninjutsu instantly appeared, blocking Kaguya's attack on Shindai.
"Now your opponent is... us!"
The Susanoos of Sasuke, Itachi, and Fugaku Uchiha appeared in three directions around Kaguya otsutsuki, launching attacks against her.
Kaguya Otsutsuki blocked attacks from three Susanoo techniques. Just as she was about to pursue Sasuke, ninjutsu from the ninja below came one after another, preventing her from continuing the chase.
"Rabbit Hair Needle!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki released her white hair, transforming it into sharp thorns that launched a large-scale attack on the ninja below.
Minato Namikaze, commander of the Allied Ninja Forces, shouted, "Use defensive ninjutsu!"
[Triple Rashomon!]
[Ice Release: Hyppou no Jishaku!]
[Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!]
[Water Release: Water Formation Wall!]
[And more...]
The ninja unleashed their respective defensive techniques, successfully blocking Kaguya Otsutsuki's Rabbit Hair Needle.
Naruto created Shadow Clones and, channeling chakra from the nine Tailed Beasts, formed nine different nature-based Rasenshuriken.
Minato also created several Shadow Clones, appearing behind Naruto's clones.
Minato threw multiple Flying Thunder God Kunai in Kaguya Otsutsuki's direction.
"Are you ready, Naruto?"
"Ready! Dad!"
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato transported Naruto's Shadow Clones to the positions of the Flying Thunder God Kunai near Kaguya.
[Sage Art: Ultimate Tailed Beast Spiral Shuriken!]
Naruto's clones hurled all their Rasenshuriken at Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Explosions rocked the skies one after another.
