Madara Uchiha was pierced straight through the heart by Black Zetsu, left completely immobilized.
Meanwhile, the God Tree extracted chakra from the captured ninja, causing high-density chakra to surge up from underground and pour into Madara's body.
"Madara," Black Zetsu declared, "your dream dies here. Your duty is done. You are now Kaguya's sacrificial offering!"
Massive amounts of chakra surged within Madara, causing him to scream in agony as his Rinnegan state vanished completely.
Obito gasped, "What incredible chakra!"
Sasuke hurriedly asked Shindai, "What should we do next?"
Shindai bit her lip. "What else can we do? We have to face Kaguya Otsutsuki now! You two should've sealed Madara first, along with Black Zetsu while you had the chance. Listen well—you two must step up. This battle depends on you alone. Kaguya has an Immortal Body. Only the sealing technique you received from that old man can stop her!"
Madara's body began expanding uncontrollably.
Sasuke gathered Chidori in his hand. He turned to Naruto. "Naruto! We need to strike before he completes his transformation!"
"Right!"
Gripping a Truth-Seeking Ball Black Receiver, Naruto charged forward alongside Sasuke toward Madara.
Shindai tried to stop them, but they had already charged forward.
Predictably, two strands of hair immediately lashed out, binding and restraining both Sasuke and Naruto tightly.
"Foolish moths drawn to the flame… Now, absorb their chakra as well!"
Shindai, Kakashi, and Obito launched ranged attacks trying to free Sasuke and Naruto, yet none could break the hair bindings holding the two.
Even Obito's Kamui failed to properly distort the space around Madara.
The chakra concentration was simply too overwhelming.
Black Zetsu seemed intent on making Madara understand, explaining, "As Shindai said, Kaguya once cast Infinite Tsukuyomi on humanity, preserving them alive to build her army. Those who fell under Infinite Tsukuyomi eventually became White Zetsu, evolving gradually over time."
Even now, Madara still refused to believe—or perhaps rejected believing altogether—shouting defiantly, "Infinite Tsukuyomi is the Uchiha clan's jutsu to bring lasting peace to the ninja world!"
Black Zetsu sighed, "You must believe me now, Madara. I've lived far longer than you—more than long enough to locate and alter Hamura's stone monoliths. What you saw inscribed on those tablets was what I modified!"
Let me make this clear one more time. The [Infinite Tsukuyomi] isn't a technique that grants peaceful dreams to people—it's meant to gather everyone's chakra into one massive source. You were acting for this purpose too, guided by my... no, Kaguya's consciousness. Just as you treated Setsuna and Nagato as mere pawns, you yourself were also just a pawn.
"It's time to face reality. When Shindai told you the truth, I actually panicked for a moment, but then I quickly regained composure—because you only believe in yourself, and deep down, you firmly believe that I was created by you, that I am you. With your arrogance, there's no way you'd ever doubt me."
Madara Uchiha finally accepted everything: "I… actually did those things…"
A black slime-like substance covered Madara Uchiha's entire body.
Suddenly, Madara stopped bulging and instead began shrinking back.
A completely unfamiliar figure appeared.
[Kaguya Otsutsuki]... has thus resurrected!
Kaguya Otsutsuki floated midair. Upon noticing the sealing formulas on Naruto and Sasuke's right and left hands respectively, she immediately flung the two of them away with her hair.
Sasuke activated Chidori and charged at Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Kaguya used her hair to attack Sasuke while he continuously severed her hair strands, but eventually ran out of steam and was struck, sending him flying.
Seeing Sasuke charging in, Naruto joined the fight as well—but ended up just like Sasuke, getting blasted away too.
Just when Shindai and the others were about to move in, an overwhelming pressure pinned them all down, rendering Shindai, Kakashi, and Obito unable to move.
Kaguya paid no attention to Shindai's group as she floated toward Naruto and Sasuke.
"They are… descendants of Hagoromo and Hamura… no, could they be Indra and Asura?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki [activated Byakugan] to observe Naruto and Sasuke, perceiving the Yang and Yin powers on their respective hands.
"So it was Hagoromo who passed on these jutsu to them."
Sasuke stared solemnly at Kaguya.
This chakra—Madara couldn't even begin to compare. He didn't expect such a being to truly exist.
Sasuke speculated that the real reason the Sage of Six Paths gave them the sealing formulas wasn't to seal Madara Uchiha, but because he had already foreseen Kaguya's arrival.
Because the Sage of Six Paths had told both him and Naruto beforehand—that this day would inevitably come—it was unavoidable.
Looking at Kaguya, Shindai thought maybe he could try deceiving her somehow, since even Kaguya feared someone else.
Shindai shouted toward Kaguya Otsutsuki: "Kaguya Otsutsuki, don't rush into battle yet! I have something to say!"
"The Ninja Sect… no, wait—was it just called Ninja?"
"There is nothing more I can say to someone like you, who fails to grasp the true meaning of chakra and yet uses it so casually. This land is my sacred garden. I will not allow it to be harmed any further. Let's end this battle here..."
Suddenly, everything shifted, and everyone's gaze turned to a space completely filled with molten lava.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Shindai plummeted rapidly from midair, falling straight toward the lava below.
Floating high above, Kaguya Otsutsuki looked down coldly on the falling figures and declared, "I will eliminate you all right here!"
Shindai immediately soared upward using his flight ability. Obito activated his Susanoo and flew up with Kakashi. Sasuke also activated his Susanoo.
Meanwhile, Naruto, wielding Six Paths Power, suddenly gained the ability to fly.
Kaguya Otsutsuki noticed the faint smile that appeared on Naruto's face when he realized he could fly.
However, this angered Kaguya greatly: "Six Paths Power... That smug look on his face makes him think he's found some special toy. But no matter what kind of chakra it may be, it belongs to me alone! I will once again unify all chakra into one!"
[Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!]
Kaguya launched the first strike by focusing her chakra into her palms and unleashing countless powerful fists through the air.
Naruto took a step forward, forming countless fists using the Nine-Tails' chakra surrounding him, directly clashing with Kaguya's barrage of punches.
Watching Naruto and Kaguya clash in shock, Shindai, Obito, and Kakashi were overwhelmed—not only by Kaguya's immense strength, but also at how overwhelmingly powerful Naruto had become. Truthfully, they could barely comprehend what was happening anymore!
