Whoosh—Whoosh—
The fierce winds swept across the barren land, producing a haunting wail. Yellow grains of sand churned on the ground, illuminated by the blood-red moon that radiated an ominous "full signal." The scene resembled the arrival of a ghostly king.
Meanwhile, the grotesquely swollen "sphere" was now coated in a slick, writhing layer of black liquid, with long strands of hair fluttering across its surface.
Gradually.
The bloated sphere began to shrink, slowly condensing into the form of a humanoid female figure.
Her appearance was unsettling. Horns protruded upward from her head, and in the center of her forehead was none other than a Rinne Sharingan.
Moments later, the figure fully stabilized into her final form.
She possessed pale skin and long, bluish-white hair. Her face was devoid of eyebrows, yet her features were delicately beautiful. She wore a white robe adorned with black tomoe patterns, and her eyes were unmistakably Byakugan.
This was none other than Kaguya Ōtsutsuki—the true progenitor of Chakra in the shinobi world, and the mother of Hagoromo and Hamura.
Her hair was extraordinarily long, prompting one to wonder whether it served some other purpose.
For instance, if she were to engage in primal combat with a male creature in the wilderness, her hair could easily serve as a makeshift bed, providing a soft arena for the battle.
Having been sealed away for countless years, the newly awakened Kaguya Ōtsutsuki appeared dazed and disoriented.
However, hiding within her sleeve was Black Zetsu, who was brimming with excitement as it shouted, "Mother!"
"Quickly, regain your focus! We need to eliminate that man over there and reclaim the Tailed Beast power within him!"
Kaguya first lowered her gaze to glance at Black Zetsu. She naturally remembered this "son" who had been "born" at the last moment.
When she turned to look at the enemy Black Zetsu feared, she found only a young, white-haired man whose gaze brazenly roamed over her, lingering on certain areas with particular interest.
As the Goddess of the Hare, Kaguya had grown accustomed to receiving reverent worship from mortals after consuming the Chakra Fruit. Never had a man dared to scrutinize her with such impudence.
"Hmph!"
"Byakugan: Coercion!"
Kaguya's Byakugan emitted a powerful ripple of spatial distortion, and white veins appeared prominently around her eyes.
But Sōmi merely raised his right hand lightly, and the incoming spatial ripple dissipated instantly.
"Your figure is rather ordinary..."
"And your looks are merely passable. Though you have an oval face, it's a bit long..."
"Certainly not the epitome of beauty."
Sōmi shook his head with a faint sigh.
In his eyes, Kaguya's appearance was far from exceptional.
While she might carry the allure of a "married woman" or a "mature lady," Sōmi had no particular fondness for such traits.
Moreover, despite Kaguya's self-proclaimed "abstinence," she had somehow managed to give birth to two sons with the "blessings" of male beings.
Considering that Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki still needed to "combine" with human women to produce offspring, it seemed that even pureblood Ōtsutsuki were not capable of asexual reproduction.
Thus, the nature and form of these "blessings" were worth pondering.
Was Kaguya truly "abstinent," or was she secretly "greedy"? Only Kaguya herself might know the answer.
Regardless, even if Sōmi had any interest in her, his more important goals took precedence.
"Limbo: Border Jail!"
The purple glow of Sōmi's Rinnegan intensified, and four "shadows" that had been lying in wait in an alternate dimension suddenly charged toward Kaguya.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four consecutive kicks landed squarely on Kaguya's chest, sending her flying backward into the trunk of the Divine Tree.
When Kaguya absorbed the weakened Sōmi clone earlier, much of the tree's energy had been transferred to her.
However, the Divine Tree had not withered entirely—it merely appeared wilted. Under Sōmi's deliberate control, Kaguya now possessed only a fraction of her original Chakra.
"Mother!"
Black Zetsu cried out in panic.
"Quick! Transfer us to the Core Dimension!"
Black Zetsu had clearly sensed something amiss and hurriedly urged Kaguya to act.
But just as the glow of Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan flashed, signaling her intent to use Amenominaka to shift dimensions, the light suddenly stalled.
Simultaneously, a radiant purple glow erupted from within her body, transforming into thick chains that shot outward. The chains ended in sharp, spike-like tips.
The chains coiled tightly around Kaguya several times before their spiked ends pierced into her flesh.
Zzz!
In an instant, black-purple currents of electricity surged across the chains, coursing over every inch of Kaguya's skin.
These currents bore a striking resemblance to Madara's Yin Release: Lightning Dispatch.
"Ahhh—!"
Kaguya's Byakugan rolled back even further, turning completely white.
Yet, her heavy breathing did nothing to halt the relentless electric shocks. The black-purple lightning surged skyward in an instant.
Boom!!!
The night sky was illuminated by the purple light as the furious lightning unleashed its wrath, leaving the air tinged with the acrid scent of scorched matter.
When the raging lightning finally subsided, Kaguya's once-divine appearance was utterly ruined.
Her wide robes were now reduced to charred strips of cloth, and through the larger gaps, her pale body was visible.
However, her skin was now covered in dense, intricate purple Cursed Seals that shimmered with an eerie light, sealing away all her powers.
Sōmi floated before Kaguya, gripping her pointed chin firmly as he rotated her head.
"Hmm?!"
Kaguya's Byakugan widened in shock as she realized that Sōmi's actions had breached her most private defenses.
"Goddess of the Hare? Abstinent deity?"
"Haha!"
A wild grin spread across Sōmi's face. It seemed he had finally resolved his lingering curiosity about how Kaguya had conceived Hagoromo and Hamura.
With his last doubts dispelled, Sōmi withdrew his left hand and swiftly formed seals with both hands, uttering a low command.
In an instant!
A pale blue vine descended from the thick trunk of the Divine Tree, wrapping itself tightly around Kaguya.
Under the horrified gaze of Kaguya and Black Zetsu, the vine coiled tightly around the still-angered yet humiliated Kaguya, binding her several times over.
Thump!
As the pure Ōtsutsuki energy was extracted from Kaguya and infused back into the Divine Tree, the tree emitted a powerful, rhythmic pulse, like the beating of a mighty heart.
