After sealing Black Zetsu, only Kaguya remained.
Anya had entered the Kamui dimension before—it was an independent space of limited size.
This space was also an independent realm, identical in nature to the Kamui dimension, but vastly expanded, with multiple sub-spaces that allowed free travel. Any ninja without spatial abilities brought here would be helpless. Kaguya wouldn't even need to lift a finger—starvation alone would finish them off.
Now, Anya had completely mastered the secrets of this space. All that remained was to find Kaguya.
His eyes opened, glowing with pure black Rinnegan. A black portal materialized from the center of his eyes—the Otsutsuki Teleportation. Anya leaped straight inside.
Before him lay a landscape of pale red earth and small hills. Kaguya hovered above, her Byakugan filled with confusion, as if she couldn't understand how, after being freed from the seal for just a moment, she had encountered such a powerful ninja—one who even wielded the Six Paths' Planetary Devastation, her ultimate counter.
Trapped for so long, Kaguya had no desire to fight back. Instinctively, she wanted to flee—but to her dismay, that annoying ninja had already chased after her, fixing her with the cold, predatory gaze of a hunter stalking its prey.
Anya looked up at Kaguya and said, "Don't run. This is your Ōtsutsuki Space, isn't it? It connects to all the other dimensions. I'll track you down wherever you go."
Still dazed, Kaguya asked, "What do you want from me? Are you here to seal me away for the entire Ninja World?"
"Of course not. If I wanted to seal you, you wouldn't have escaped even a moment ago," Anya replied, sheathing his blade to show sincerity. "I'll say it again—I want to talk. To cooperate."
Kaguya asked, "Cooperate? How?"
"You came here to plant the God Tree and cultivate the Chakra Fruit, didn't you? The Infinite Tsukuyomi has already begun. All chakra is being absorbed by the God Tree. After all these years, a new Chakra Fruit should already have formed—even if it's not fully matured."
Anya's words shocked Kaguya. She never imagined this ninja would know her purpose in this world, let alone expose it in a single sentence.
"So what's your plan?"
"The new Chakra Fruit—belongs to me."
"Die."
That single sentence triggered Kaguya's rage. Chakra gathered in her palm with immense force, and suddenly she unleashed her full force. The Eighty Kūshin'eki (Vacuum Attack) launched forward. With her Byakugan, countless fists shook the sky, each blow an instant-kill strike, not even a mouse could slip through.
Anya didn't dodge. His eyes transformed into Mangekyō. His Completed Form Susanoo cloaked his body, its black form enveloping him. In his right hand, he wielded the Demonic Blade, its divine palace pattern radiating brilliant light as he met Kaguya's fists head-on.
"BOOM… BOOM…"
The collision of two immense forces sent shockwaves rippling through the Ōtsutsuki Space itself. Kaguya's relentless punches kept coming, one after another.
[Annihilation]
The surrounding physical matter began to shatter piece by piece, as pitch-black power eroded outward. In the briefest instant, everything around Susano'o turned into nothingness—even the incoming fist completely vanished.
As Kaguya wondered why her attack had failed, a tiger and a dragon simultaneously appeared beside her.
[Tiger Crouching, Dragon Coiling]
The Blade of Indifference was sheathed to better accumulate momentum for a fatal strike, while the other Supreme Blade had already formed a blade array descending downward. From the moment Kaguya launched her attack, it meant negotiations had completely broken down.
Once the battle began, Anya held absolutely nothing back. Though she mocked Kaguya's combat strength, she held nothing back in reality. After all, the opponent before her possessed strength surpassing even Madara Uchiha, with an endless array of deadly techniques.
The restrained Kaguya emitted grayish bone spikes from her body, attempting to pierce through the tiger and dragon and break free from the restraint. However, at this very moment, a tingling sensation surged from her waist where Anya had previously embraced her, causing her entire body to shudder involuntarily and hesitate slightly.
At this critical moment, a sharp blade sound rang out.
"Zheng..."
[Sword Art: Draw Technique]
Anya's blade followed her movement as she carved a beautiful arc through the air. At the peak of her accumulated momentum, using her Dojutsu Time Acceleration, she attacked with astonishing speed, too fast for Kaguya's Byakugan to even track.
"Chi la."
The Blade of Indifference effortlessly pierced through Kaguya's body, taking a bit of her blood with it.
Without hesitation, Anya continued her assault, shifting her sword force and slicing downward fiercely.
Kaguya finally broke free from the tiger-dragon restraint. Without thinking, she attempted to escape using a space-based jutsu.
Anya's Mangekyo Sharingan spun fiercely. "Stillness."
Kaguya's entire body stiffened abruptly and froze in place.
Seizing this precise timing, the Blade of Indifference drew countless blade lights in the air while the Supreme Blade descended simultaneously. A myriad of blades formed an ever-changing mountain of blades, striking Kaguya repeatedly like slow execution.
Anya's expression remained calm as she swung her blade relentlessly. Since she began training in swordsmanship, swinging her blade had been a daily routine. Yet until now, this was the first time anyone had survived so many of her strikes—an excellent opportunity for improving her sword techniques. As more sword attacks joined in, combined with the different sword arts embedded within her blades—[Lightning Blade Art], [Phantom Sword Art], [Breaking the Blade]—her momentum had completely deprived Kaguya of any chance to escape.
"With countless wounds covering her body, she roared furiously..."
Roaring loudly, Kaguya's form began to swell, and the Ten-Tails burst forth from her body, gradually transforming into the original forms of the nine Tailed Beasts. Kaguya herself changed into a gigantic rabbit-like creature, her head adorned with the distinctive Rinnegan Sharingan.
Her two enormous eyes glared furiously, tears continuously streaming from them.
Anya hesitated slightly upon witnessing the scene. What's happening? Could it be... she was actually crying from being hit?
Well, with a bigger body, there are more spots to hit.
Outside, after a long and heated debate, the group still hadn't reached a decision. Eventually, Naruto and Sasuke joined hands, channeling their Six Paths chakra to summon a soul-like ethereal projection, which hovered midair in a cross-legged position.
"Is this... the Sage of Six Paths?"
As soon as Hagoromo appeared, the Rinnegan in his eyes instinctively turned toward Hakuto, filled with both admiration and regret. What a perfect reincarnation vessel—she could perfectly inherit my power. Pity she has an even scarier father... whoever he may be.
Naruto got impatient when the Sage of the Six Paths stayed quiet for so long: "Hey, old man, you finally showed up! You know what's going on here, right?"
Hagoromo let out a sigh. "As you can see, Madara Uchiha pulled off the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and my mother, Kaguya, has broken free from her seal and come back to this world."
Tsunade cut in urgently, "What about Anya? Do you know where he is?"
Hagoromo spoke with deep meaning, "He should be with my mother right now. He's the one who triggered the Infinite Tsukuyomi on purpose—to break the Release seal on my mother, Kaguya."
"What?"
