"How dare you harm me? Your crime is unforgivable!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki touched the blood flowing from her cheek, her eyes blazing with fire, her gaze toward Ino filled with hatred. She directly reshaped the black portal of Yomotsu Hirasaka, surrounding Ino with it like a black curtain of light. Finally, she struck with a full-force palm, seemingly intending to detonate both Ino and the portal together.
"Takamagahara!"
Countless spatial fragments slammed into the golden Susanoo. Just as it seemed Ino was about to be swept away by the endless turbulence of time and space, Senju Hashirama raised his right hand, aiming at the Yin Nine-Tails. "Wood Release: Hotei's Jutsu!"
His giant blue chakra hand grabbed the Yin Nine-Tails inside the golden Susanoo and pulled it out forcefully. Ino also had her Susanoo perform hand seals.
"Eight Thunder Gods!"
Countless beams of Storm Release spewed from the Susanoo's mouth. This jutsu, a mixture of water and lightning natures, couldn't harm Kaguya Otsutsuki, but it wasn't meant to. A full eight whips of lightning wrapped around Kaguya's limbs. She wanted to banish Ino from this dimension? Fine, they would go together!
Kaguya raised her palms and, with a slash to the left and a slash to the right, severed the "Eight Thunder Gods." Using this brief delay, Hashirama finally pulled Ino out of the turbulence.
"Thanks... that old hag has gone crazy!" Ino said, looking genuinely shaken. That last move had been far too dangerous; if she had been completely caught in the spatio-temporal turbulence, there was no telling where she might have ended up.
"Lord First, I need you to cooperate with me," Ino said, explaining her battle plan.
Ino didn't know why Master Six Paths hadn't given the two of them the Yin and Yang powers. Was it a test, or some other reason? She didn't plan to find another way; Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei was the best solution. If the conditions weren't met, then she would create them.
"Alright," the First Hokage readily agreed.
The two of them once again engaged Kaguya in a chaotic battle. Using this time, Gekko Hayate, dragging his heavily injured body, opened Yomotsu Hirasaka and sent Madara back.
Seeing that Madara's condition was declining and he could barely "dance" anymore, Ino immediately dispatched a helper for him.
Nai-He Bridge, open! Uchiha Izuna appeared once more!
"I get to fight alongside my brother? I understand!" One could practically see the excitement radiating off the young Izuna upon hearing he would be fighting with his brother.
Ino waved her hand. Go! Fight however you want; she wouldn't place any restrictions on them.
The blue Susanoo and the azure Susanoo, one on the left and one on the right, relied on their tacit coordination to launch a fierce assault on Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Ino tried her best to recall the contents of Master Six Paths' lesson.
"For Yin, three parts, take the heavy. For Yang, seven parts, take the light... Fire as bone, water as skin, earth as flesh, wind as sinew, lightning as blood... this should be about right for the Yang power, right? No, wait, it seems I added a bit too much fire…"
In the original timeline, it seemed Master Six Paths had just given them a simple tap, and a mark had appeared on Naruto and Sasuke's palms. Afterward, sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki was a fool-proof operation. In reality, the knowledge involved was far too vast.
Ino not only had to think but also had to practically harmonize their chakra and create true Yin and Yang powers. She was so anxious that her forehead was beaded with sweat.
While Madara and Hashirama took turns fighting, both getting beaten black and blue, she was finally almost ready. She double-checked her calculations and felt she could give it a try.
The Yin and Yang powers needed to be coordinated. Simply bestowing the seals wasn't enough; Ino still needed to make adjustments on the spot based on their chakra.
"First Hokage, Madara, come here!"
She used her sensory transmission ability to connect the three of them. Madara deeply disliked this tone of being summoned and dismissed at will, but after hearing her plan, he tacitly agreed to the course of action.
They each left a Wood Clone to fight in their place, while Gekko Hayate and Izuna provided cover.
"Hold out your hands." It was extremely difficult for Ino to maintain the overloaded power of Yin-Yang Release; her voice trembled slightly.
The two men each extended a hand. Ino transformed her understanding of Yin-Yang Release into two marks, one Yin and one Yang, and placed them on their palms.
"Now for the final step! Get ready!"
Following Ino's instructions, Hashirama forcibly activated "Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees" in the sand dimension.
Even with his level of skill in Wood Release, using such a large-scale jutsu in a world devoid of life was a bit strenuous. Fortunately, the world of trees ultimately manifested.
Ino followed up with her own hand seals: "Sage Art: Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
A massive amount of water rich in life energy irrigated the "world of trees" that Hashirama had created. The world, originally barren, was suddenly filled with the breath of life.
Due to environmental factors, the lifespan of this new life would be short. After a brief bloom, the dimension would revert to a desert, but that short amount of time was enough.
Seeing that the amount of pollen was sufficient, Ino immediately activated her Kekkei Mora.
"Ullambana Bridge, open!"
A bridge of flowers appeared out of thin air. The petals and pollen from the world of trees, catalyzed by the Sage Art: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave, had flourished tenfold. Now, as the bridge descended, the dense pollen was drawn to Kaguya Otsutsuki, surrounding her and blanketing the sky.
The pollen also affected the two heroes inside their Susanoo, but the Uchiha brothers were more familiar with the world of trees and had strong endurance. Kaguya Otsutsuki, the 8000-year-old matron, lacked such willpower.
The pollen drawn by the Ullambana Bridge also carried the power of death. Specks of soil mixed with pollen touched Kaguya's sleeves, symbolizing rest and peace—the power belonging to the kingdom of the dead.
Aren't you tired? You should rest! Countless voices echoed in her ears.
Just like Infinite Tsukuyomi, this was another inescapable Kekkei Mora ability.
Kaguya felt her will to fight dwindling, her anger subsiding, and her reaction speed growing sluggish. She immediately activated Amenominakanaka.
The group was instantly transported to the lava dimension.
In every dimension they arrived in, Ino and Hashirama cooperated to plant trees, spread pollen, and open the Ullambana Bridge.
The lava dimension, ice dimension, sand dimension, super-gravity dimension, Core Dimension, and finally even the acid dimension—through their combined efforts, Hashirama and Ino managed to plant a few flowers on the cliffs. Kaguya became covered in more and more pollen, and the influence of the Ullambana Bridge on her grew increasingly severe.
This effect seemed minor, but it clung to her like a cancer, impossible to remove quickly.
She was not a ninja who had experienced countless bloody battles to the death; the flaws in her spirit were growing larger.
When the thought that she should rest in peace involuntarily appeared in her mind, the pollen had already buried her from the waist down. Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara acted decisively.
They were both battle-hardened veterans and needed no further instruction from Ino. From the left and right, they pressed the Yin and Yang power marks from their palms onto the 8000-year-old matron.
"Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei!"
