From beneath the ground, a woman with an indifferent gaze and a beauty so divine that she seemed to look upon all living beings as mere insects floated upward, drawing the confused stares of everyone present.
"Who is this woman? Why does she carry Madara's chakra?"
"Could it be that Madara was transformed into a woman by Naruto's technique?"
"Wow! Does Naruto's technique have such terrifying effects?"
"Hehe, so all we need to do is strip Hashirama-sama completely and place him on top?"
Hearing the vulgar words from below, Kaguya's exquisitely beautiful face radiated coldness. "Impudent fools! Daring to desecrate this exalted one... You deserve to die!"
Naruto and Sasuke both understood her terror, and hearing her speak like this, they quickly shouted warnings, "Be careful! Quickly get away from her!"
Kaguya gently shook her hair, and from behind her, the flying white strands instantly transformed into sharp, needle-like points shooting outward.
[Rabbit Hair Needle!]
A rain of needles fell from the sky. Some instinctively used Earth Release to defend themselves, but it was completely ineffective. No matter how solid the barrier, before those tiny needles, it was as fragile as paper!
In an instant, those near Kaguya were riddled with rabbit hair needles and died instantly!
Seeing the carnage, the families and friends of the fallen charged forward, eyes red with rage, screaming, "White witch, die!"
Kaguya's flawless fists smashed into the void on either side, shattering space like a broken mirror!
[Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!]
The resulting shockwave shook the heavens, tore the earth apart, and instantly reduced the charging Allied Shinobi Forces to dust!
Then, the remaining shockwave surged forward unimpeded, bearing down on the retreating army.
Seeing the critical situation, Hashirama, who had recovered some chakra, quickly summoned the Quintuple Rashomon. The Allied Shinobi Forces also rapidly reinforced the Rashomon's defenses using Earth Release.
However, these gates symbolizing the gateway to hell disintegrated the moment they made contact with the shockwave!
The combined defense they formed couldn't hold up for even a second!
"Sasuke, merge!"
"You come in!"
Sasuke's Complete Form Susanoo stood before everyone while Naruto imbued it with Six Paths Power.
[Six Paths Susanoo Slash] cut through the sky-shaking shockwave, tearing it apart!
Seeing the storm finally dissipate, the Allied Forces let out a collective sigh of relief.
But the horrific scene before them was like a cold shower, awakening them completely.
Previously, under Seiki's protection, not a single soul had been lost in this final battle—so much so that they had forgotten the reality of war, that war could bring death!
Furthermore, they now understood one thing: this seemingly exquisite and noble woman was a terrifying existence even stronger than Madara!
Yet, Kaguya frowned slightly, "My power... is not complete..."
Unlike the original timeline, although Madara here had also absorbed the God Tree, the God Tree at that time had not yet fully matured—the chakra reclaimed was merely a part of that in the shinobi no sekai.
Moreover, Madara hadn't managed to use the [God: Nativity of a World of Trees], failing to reclaim the chakra from all living beings!
If she were at full strength, those two brats wouldn't have been able to withstand her attack!
Kaguya stared at Naruto and Sasuke, "Are you both children of Hagoromo?"
Naruto scratched his head, "To be precise, it's a Chakra-powered reincarnation!"
Kaguya sighed, "Seeing you two reminds me of my two sons!"
From a distance, Suigyuu grinned, "Does this mean they'll acknowledge you as their mother and we won't have to fight?"
Kaguya's warm expression suddenly turned cold, "Precisely because they resemble my sons, I want to kill them even more!"
[Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!]
Seeing Kaguya launch this move again, Suigyuu quickly ducked back, muttering, "Can't handle menopausal women!"
The battle was about to erupt!
...
On a distant mountain peak, Aizen wasn't paying attention to the earth-shaking battle before him. Instead, he raised his head, gazing across infinite distances at the battle taking place among the stars.
His gaze wasn't just on Hagoromo and Isshiki—it pierced deep into Isshiki's body!
Inside Isshiki's body, within the center of the continuously absorbing and digesting Truth-Seeking Balls, three eyes trembled lightly like a heart.
Two were Shisui's eyes, while the third was Urashiki's golden Rinnegan, specifically responsible for supplying chakra power to Shisui's eyes!
After watching for a while, Aizen withdrew his gaze, "Not yet. We must wait until he's exhausted from battle!"
Black Zetsu couldn't help but bounce with excitement, "Aniki, Mother is truly, truly amazing! Should we hurry over and help too?"
Aizen calmly replied, "Do you really think Mother's power can't handle these mere prey?"
Black Zetsu scratched his head awkwardly, "That's not what I meant!"
Aizen pointed toward the sky, "That place is where the true threat to Mother lies!"
Black Zetsu thought for a moment, "Aniki, you mean Hagoromo? But isn't he already fighting that great demon lord Isshiki?"
Aizen slightly nodded, "Hagoromo is cunning and underhanded. Isshiki certainly won't be his match!"
These words struck a chord with Black Zetsu, who nodded, "Aniki, what should we do then?"
Aizen spoke calmly, "Destroy his foundation!"
"Foundation?" Black Zetsu asked in confusion, "Isn't his power from within himself?"
Aizen replied, "Exactly, mostly it is. But there's also a small part that originates from the Underworld!"
"The Underworld?" Black Zetsu widened his eyes, "Related to Hagoromo?"
Just because he's lived for a thousand years doesn't mean he's explored everything—his focus had always been on the reincarnations of Asura and Indra. And to protect his identity, he never dared explore dangerous places—like the Underworld!
Therefore, he genuinely didn't know about the Underworld's connection to Hagoromo!
Aizen nodded slightly, "The Rinnegan controls life and death, and resurrecting the dead isn't difficult. But first, you must locate the souls of the deceased. Due to his regrets from youth, Hagoromo established the Underworld after sealing Mother!"
Black Zetsu didn't care about Hagoromo's regrets, but his heart chilled, "Good thing I didn't personally handle the Impure World Reincarnation—I'd be handing myself straight to Hagoromo!"
Aizen continued, "After a thousand years, the Underworld has accumulated infinite soul power. If Hagoromo is allowed to act freely, even Mother might not be his match!"
Black Zetsu immediately grew nervous, "Then what should we do?"
"By manipulating the threads of fate," Aizen mused, "Chakra has forged an unbreakable link with the Underworld! Our task is to rip open the Underworld at the right moment!"
Black Zetsu echoed in shock, repeating like a broken record, "Rip open the Underworld?"
Aizen gave a slight nod. "On one hand, it will throw Hagoromo into chaos and give Mother a chance to strike. On the other hand, the severed Souls from the Underworld can be used as materials to forge the Hollow Orb!"
Black Zetsu already knew the Hollow Orb was a treasure crafted by Aniki to soothe Mother's soul, but he still had doubts. "Aniki, didn't you say the Hollow Orb required purely released Souls to create?"
Aizen replied calmly, "This is to ensure a more stable structure—pure Souls on the inner layer, ordinary Souls on the outer layer."
"Is that how it is?" Black Zetsu dropped the subject, admitting he didn't know much about this stuff anyway.
