Chapter 461 - Chapter 461: Kaguya Otsutsuki's Past

Naruto clashed with Kaguya Otsutsuki's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack using the Nine-Tails' Chakra.

After countless blows, Naruto was still sent flying by a single punch from Kaguya.

[Kamui: Violet Lightning!]

Obito and Kakashi worked together, unleashing purple lightning through warped space, attempting to twist Kaguya's head off. However, the distorted space snapped back to normal in an instant, and the violet electricity vanished just as quickly.

Magnet Release: Electromagnetic Blast!

Shindai fired the blast at Kaguya, but she absorbed it effortlessly.

Sasuke maneuvered his Susanoo and slashed at Kaguya with both ninja swords raised.

Yet Kaguya simply lifted one hand. Sasuke's Susanoo seemed to melt away before erupting in a violent explosion.

Sasuke fell toward the molten lava.

Immediately, Sasuke used Amenotejikara to swap places with a Truth-Seeking Ball behind Naruto, grabbing onto his foot.

"This is bad!" Sasuke exclaimed. "None of our attacks are working!"

Everyone present felt extremely tense—the gap in strength was just too great.

Although Shindai knew that Naruto and Sasuke could seal away Kaguya, he had long forgotten the exact method.

At that moment, a portal suddenly opened behind Naruto and Sasuke.

Spotting the portal behind them, Shindai shouted urgently, "Hey! Watch your backs!"

But Kaguya stepped through the portal, while Naruto and Sasuke found themselves paralyzed, only able to stiffly turn their heads and stare in terror at Kaguya, now standing right before them.

However, Kaguya didn't kill them. Instead, she gently cupped both of their chins.

Looking into their eyes, Kaguya suddenly burst into tears. "Come here… come back to Mommy…"

From beneath Kaguya's sleeve, Black Zetsu oozed out and latched onto Naruto and Sasuke.

They felt their chakra rapidly draining away.

Meanwhile, Shindai noticed the chakra flow from Naruto and Sasuke weakening sharply and stopped the Eight Trigrams Sealing Array at once.

Right then, Shindai, Obito, and Kakashi wanted to help desperately, but all three were immobilized—just like they'd been struck by a paralysis technique.

But it wasn't a jutsu; it was natural suppression—the kind of dominance a superior lifeform exerts over an inferior one.

Black Zetsu sneered, "Look at you two—it really brings back memories. That poor woman, betrayed and sealed by her own sons. But me? I'll never turn my back on Mother."

I recorded everything that occurred during Mother's absence and shaped that into history—the tale of the ninja was crafted solely to one day resurrect Mother. That you know of Mother means you've already encountered Hagoromo.

I know that once reincarnated beings grow strong enough, they will meet him. I also know he grants you power specifically to seal away Mother. It's unusual for the reincarnations of Indra and Asura to work together so completely. While we're in this brief moment between chakra extractions, allow me to tell you clueless ones this story.

Earlier, I explained how Mother was sealed by her own sons. It was an incredibly powerful sealing technique—it turned the Ten-Tails into the core of [Planetary Devastation]. The Ten-Tails became the Moon. And just before that sealing, I was born—for the sake of someday resurrecting Mother."

Naruto and Sasuke witnessed the past of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Kaguya Otsutsuki fell in love with the Emperor of the Land of the Rabbit. When political pressure arose, the emperor betrayed Kaguya. Disillusioned after being betrayed, Kaguya approached the God Tree, consumed its fruit, gained immense power, merged with the tree, and cast Infinite Tsukuyomi to transform both the emperor and mankind into offerings for the God Tree.

To prevent humanity's extinction, she returned part of the people with their memories erased and resolved the conflicts, earning herself the title of the Rabbit Goddess.

Later, Kaguya Otsutsuki gave birth to Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki.

Meanwhile, Kaguya periodically sacrificed humans to the God Tree to transform them into White Zetsu.

Soon afterward, Hagoromo discovered the truth and opposed the practice of worshiping the God Tree. For the protection of humankind, Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki repeatedly pleaded with Kaguya Otsutsuki to cease offering people to the God Tree.

Seeing her children could not understand her intentions, Kaguya felt deeply disappointed, so she decided to reclaim the chakra she had dispersed among her two sons.

Then Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki fought against their mother, Kaguya. To protect Kaguya, the God Tree transformed into the Ten-Tails. This three-way battle lasted several months.

This conflict brought enormous devastation to the world. Eventually, Hagoromo and Hamura surpassed Kaguya's power. Using [Yin–Yang Release: Planetary Devastation], they sealed away their own mother—stones rose from the earth into the sky, encasing Kaguya within a sphere of rock before soaring beyond anyone's reach, becoming the Moon.

With her last bit of strength at the moment of sealing, Kaguya created Black Zetsu.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki secretly sealed the shell of what remained of the drained Ten-Tails—called the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path—onto the Moon. Afterward, Hagoromo released the Infinite Tsukuyomi, freeing those who had been absorbed by the God Tree.

Furthermore, Hagoromo believed the Ten-Tails' enormous chakra would bring catastrophe to the world. Therefore, he absorbed the Ten-Tails' chakra into himself and split it into nine Tailed Beasts, significantly weakening the Ten-Tails' power.

What followed afterward is the story of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

Black Zetsu chuckled darkly, "Although there were a few brief disruptions along the way, this war has successfully initiated the Infinite Tsukuyomi as planned. Vast quantities of human chakra scattered across different locations have now been collected. Mother has finally been brought back to life!"

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, her Byakugan activated, stared at Naruto and Sasuke: "I despise you both... Hagoromo, Hamura — you are mine!"

Black Zetsu spoke in a relaxed tone, "My mission is complete. Return with me into Mother's body — the Omnipotent One!"

"Not so fast—ninja history isn't yours alone to control!" Naruto suddenly erupted, waving his hand to sever the connection between himself and Black Zetsu. Then he grabbed the Black Zetsu clinging to Sasuke and ripped it off, tearing it in half: "After all, shouldn't a mother be proud when her children become independent and leave home?"

Black Zetsu sneered coldly, "Your rebellion sure drags on forever! Mother is the Progenitor of Chakra—nothing you brats do will ever make a difference!"

Sasuke mocked Black Zetsu, "That Shindai fellow hit the nail right on the head. Your mother clearly doesn't care about you. Since her revival, all she ever talks about is the Sage of Six Paths and his brother—not you at all!"

Black Zetsu became instantly furious with rage: "Mother! Quickly kill these two!"
