The Byakugan amplified Kaguya Otsutsuki's spiritual energy manifold, crashing down upon the three of them in a nearly tangible form.
Uchiha Madara's willpower was by no means weak, but he had just discovered that the Infinite Tsukuyomi, for which he had fought for most of his life, was a colossal joke. His mind was far from the calm his expression suggested. As the Byakugan's Pressure slammed into his spiritual world, he immediately fell into a daze. Unable to maintain his Susanoo, he tumbled headfirst toward the deep, dark ice cavern below.
Senju Hashirama's willpower had always been strong. His straightforward way of thinking not only made him highly resistant to genjutsu, but also relatively resilient against this kind of spiritual attack.
Seeing his friend in peril, he immediately created a Wood Clone, which caught Uchiha Madara in mid-air.
Gekko Hayate, the one with an old man hidden inside him, performed the best. Urashiki himself possessed a technique similar to "Pressure." When Kaguya unleashed her own "Pressure," their spiritual energies briefly merged. While forcefully resisting, he spun around, creating five distinct clones that attacked simultaneously from the left, center, and right.
Kaguya Otsutsuki struck out twice with her palms, sending ice shards flying, but neither attack hit the real body.
Like a goshawk, Gekko Hayate flipped his samurai sword continuously, its blade emitting a faint white light that interfered with the Byakugan as he launched a surprise attack from above Kaguya Otsutsuki's head.
With a loud "BOOM," he was sent flying by a palm strike, but not before his sharp blade tore a gash over three inches long in Kaguya Otsutsuki's wide sleeve.
Kaguya Otsutsuki stared daggers at him, unleashing even more spiritual energy as immense pressure. Her gaze toward Gekko Hayate was filled with killing intent.
"Byakugan: Pressure!" Prominent, gruesome veins bulged around her eyes. She had clearly abandoned taijutsu, preparing to crush the three of them with her ocular power.
The ice beds of the ice dimension trembled under her Pressure. Large chunks of ice broke off, and the space itself vibrated with each wave of pressure. This vibration assaulted one's eardrums, inducing a nauseating sense of oppression.
"Rinnegan: Pressure!"
Just when the three were on the verge of collapsing, Ino arrived!
A clash of titans. The moment she stepped off the Crossing Moon Bridge, she slammed her Rinnegan's Pressure into the Byakugan's Pressure.
This contest of ocular power was no less intense than the previous clash between "Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack" and "True Several Thousand Hands." Ino's ocular power was inferior to Kaguya's, but Kaguya had been continuously releasing her Pressure for some time and was losing steam. Ino, on the other hand, was fresh. Their collision was an even match, and the spiritual aftershock created a dividing line across the ice wall below that nearly spanned the entire dimension before the spiritual pressures cancelled each other out.
"It's you." Kaguya Otsutsuki clearly remembered Ino; the one who had used that Reverse Harem Technique on her was truly unforgettable. "I remember you. Your appearance hasn't changed much, but your strength is considerably greater than it was back then."
Recalling the events of a thousand years ago, Ino had only been able to send Shadow Clones to their deaths to stall for time against Kaguya Otsutsuki. Now... now it seemed she still couldn't quite win!
"Your Grace, Kaguya, it has been a long time."
Ino didn't elaborate. Maintaining one's appearance for a thousand years—isn't that a basic skill for any female character?
Only then did she have a moment to spare to size up Hashirama and Madara.
What the hell? What are these two doing here? Weren't Naruto and Sasuke supposed to be here?
Gekko Hayate's presence was even stranger. Shouldn't you be gathering some friends to form a party and take on the level 40 Baki? Why are you here fighting the level 100 Kaguya? Don't you feel the pressure? How did you even get in here? It's like this is all a game...
She rubbed her forehead, finding it a little hard to accept the sudden change in her teammates.
Ino had specifically arranged for Sasuke to cut down the tree precisely because she was worried that idiot would run off somewhere. So where is he now? Or did my Crossing Moon Bridge open into a parallel universe, and I've come to the wrong place?
She could sense the power of the Six Paths on those two. It wasn't a huge amount, but it wasn't insignificant either.
Is Master Six Paths planning to have these two seal Kaguya? Why don't I see the marks of Yin-Yang power on their palms?
There were too many questions.
Across from them, Kaguya Otsutsuki was also exchanging information with Zetsu. Only now did Zetsu learn that Ino had traveled to a point a thousand years in the past and had made contact with Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki early on. This solved a great mystery for him; he finally understood the secret to Ino's strength. So you've been in contact with the Sage of Six Paths all along. No wonder such a powerful individual emerged from the unremarkable Bandit King clan.
Zetsu was a little worried. The scene of Ino beating Obito to a pulp had been too brutal. His judgment was also rather poor, and he couldn't tell who was stronger. So, he asked with some concern, "Mother, should we...?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki, however, was quite calm. "There's no need to worry. Since they've all shown up, I shall simply dispose of all of them today."
With a mere thought, she activated Amenominakanaka, and the group was transported to her Sand Dimension.
Here, yellow sand stretched as far as the eye could see, devoid of any life—a true wasteland.
Experiencing "Amenominakanaka" for the first time, Ino found the technique to be utterly silent and without any warning. It was clear Kaguya Otsutsuki had chosen this place for a reason.
Ino felt a slight sluggishness in the normally smooth flow of chakra within her. It wasn't obvious, but it was definitely there.
"This will be your grave, disciple of Hagoromo," Kaguya Otsutsuki said coldly.
"You saw with your Byakugan that my Kekkei Mora is formed based on Water Release chakra, so you believe this environment naturally weakens me the most? A very good plan. It seems thousands of years of being sealed have washed away some of your recklessness, making Your Grace's thought process more meticulous."
"None of you are qualified to comment on me!" Kaguya Otsutsuki's speed suddenly accelerated to its absolute limit. She raised her hands, and an endless sandstorm converged from all directions, forming a tornado that connected heaven and earth.
"Tokitsukaze!"
A total of eight storms squeezed Ino in the center. Before she could react, Kaguya Otsutsuki made a clapping motion with her hands, and the desert rose up like an ocean wave, forming a sand wall hundreds of meters high. Ino had just managed to push half her body out of the sand tornado with the repulsive force of her Rinnegan when she was completely engulfed by the overwhelming sea of sand.
Caught off guard, Hashirama, Madara, and Gekko Hayate were swallowed up along with her.
"Osunahame!"
Every single grain in the sea of sand carried Earth Release chakra and possessed considerable weight. Earth suppresses Water, and Ino's Kekkei Mora body was instantly weakened by thirty percent. She tried to struggle, but the untold quintillions of sand grains pinned her down. As the "Tokitsukaze" spun, she was dragged deep underground, into the very depths of the Sand Dimension.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's expression was serene. "I have won."
Her tone was as if she were stating a simple, everyday fact.
