Kaguya Otsutsuki finally opened a portal and entered the Space of the Origin Ball.
This Space of the Origin Ball was directly connected to five other spaces—Lava, Ice, Super Gravity, Sand, and Acid. Within it, Kaguya could absorb the chakra of those trapped in Infinite Tsukuyomi to restore and enhance her own strength.
As the portal closed, one of Naruto's Shadow Clones dashed inside.
Two more people entered—Obito and Kakashi.
However, immediately after Obito successfully infiltrated this space, he used Kamui to mark the area, then employed Kamui again to transport himself and Kakashi into his own spatial-temporal dimension.
Black Zetsu noticed Naruto and also caught sight of a few ephemeral figures.
"Disappeared? Looks like a few got in unnoticed. Did the others get wiped out from chakra depletion?"
Black Zetsu assumed those brief glimpses were also Naruto's Shadow Clones, disappearing now that their chakra was depleted.
Mockingly, Black Zetsu said, "Looks like your clones don't last long. Are you the true one?"
Naruto's Shadow Clone snapped back, "So what if I am?!"
Black Zetsu whispered a reminder to Kaguya Otsutsuki, "Mom, this kid has slipped into the Space of the Origin Ball, which connects directly with the other five spaces. We can't allow him to stay here—he might use Yin and Yang resonating to reach Sasuke, and there's also that strange technique he used earlier. This ninja named Naruto always does things unpredictably; we should kill him right here!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't want to kill Naruto directly: "No, I need to absorb the chakra of those children."
Black Zetsu earnestly persuaded, "Mom, reshaping the world through spatial transformation consumes a massive amount of chakra. Now is the time to conserve our energy for emergencies. Don't waste time battling him. If he seals you again, everything will be ruined. Although losing his chakra will be a setback, it's better than watching years of planning collapse into nothingness!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki pondered and found Black Zetsu's words reasonable.
The only real threats to her came from Naruto and Sasuke themselves, particularly their sealing techniques. Rather than risking absorbing their chakra and facing great danger, she'd rather kill one of them completely, eliminating the threat and ensuring her peace of mind.
Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her hand toward Naruto: "Use this move to kill him."
A bone jutted from her palm, and a portal formed directly in front of her hand.
[All-Killing Ash Bones]
The bone shot through the portal. Another portal formed behind Naruto, sending the bone flying toward him.
Although Naruto dodged the first strike, Kaguya immediately launched a second bone.
The bone struck Naruto in the abdomen, and his entire body quickly started disintegrating until it finally turned into a pile of ash.
"This time, the Shadow Clones in the snowy world should have all disappeared..."
Kaguya Otsutsuki opened a portal and returned to the frigid snowy wasteland.
Right after Kaguya left, Obito arrived with Kakashi from another dimension.
Obito let out a long breath. "Thanks to Naruto's Shadow Clone technique, we managed to enter the spatial-temporal realm without being noticed. But now even Naruto's Shadow Clones are gone."
Meanwhile, back in the snowy world, Naruto gave Kaguya Otsutsuki and Black Zetsu a big surprise.
It turned out his Shadow Clones hadn't vanished at all.
Black Zetsu was shocked. "How is this possible? We killed the true form, so why haven't the clones disappeared?!"
Soon, Black Zetsu figured it out, grumbling in frustration. "So they were all just Shadow Clones then? We've been tricked!"
Naruto smirked proudly. "Gotcha! Actually, I'm the real one!"
Although he looked confident, Naruto found the situation quite troublesome inside.
Next, he needed to properly confront Kaguya Otsutsuki and prevent her from returning to that other space.
But still… why did all three of them go together? At least one should've stayed behind to fight me!
With no choice, Naruto gritted his teeth and took the initiative to attack, engaging battle against Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Inside the Space of the Origin Ball.
By sensing the mark of power in this space, Obito detected something unusual. "This space should connect to other dimensions. Let's open them one by one and find Sasuke."
Obito began using Kamui, attempting to access other dimensions through the Space of the Origin Ball to locate Sasuke.
In the frigid snowy wasteland,
Naruto's Shadow Clones continued fighting fiercely against Kaguya Otsutsuki.
However, Naruto could only buy more time now.
Annoyed beyond tolerance, Kaguya wanted to resolve this by opening a portal to eliminate Naruto's clones, but Black Zetsu warned her: "Better not open portals randomly, Mother. Naruto wants to approach Sasuke!"
Kaguya immediately closed the portal, narrowly dodging a sneak punch from Naruto.
Black Zetsu continued explaining to Kaguya, "I also discovered something else—there's a Truth-Seeking Ball behind the real Naruto!"
Kaguya fixed her gaze on the Naruto with the Truth-Seeking Ball, her lips curling slightly—a clear target now identified.
Immediately, Naruto had his clones surround him, trying to block Kaguya.
Kaguya produced a bone from her body, skewered like a gourd, defeating Naruto's clones while binding him with her hair.
"This ends now!"
Kaguya pierced the bone into the Naruto possessing the Truth-Seeking Ball. His body dispersed quickly.
But suddenly, [Poof!] Naruto turned into smoke.
Kaguya Otsutsuki froze for a moment. Black Zetsu gritted his teeth and spat, "This guy actually attached the Truth-Seeking Ball to the back of his clone. We were deceived by such a cheap trick! Hmm... Did another Truth-Seeking Ball just appear out of nowhere?"
The additional Truth-Seeking Ball popped and transformed into Shindai.
"Haha, nice surprise? Unexpected, right?"
Whether Kaguya Otsutsuki and Black Zetsu felt surprised or not was unclear, but Naruto sure felt thrilled. He had thought Shindai went with Obito and Kakashi to another dimension to find Sasuke. He never expected Shindai hadn't left and was still here.
While lurking in the shadows like a phantom, waiting for the perfect moment, Shindai had been seeking an opportunity to launch a surprise attack and relieve some pressure off Naruto.
Therefore, Shindai used Transformation Jutsu to disguise himself as one of Naruto's Truth-Seeking Balls, waiting quietly for the perfect moment.
"Hand it over!"
Shindai directly extracted Sage Chakra from within Naruto and applied it onto himself.
[Sage Art! Magnet Release! Supernova Grand Wheel Yu (Great Cartwheel of Cosmic Destruction)!]
Since Shindai was now directly connected to the God Tree, he had an abundant supply of chakra. He directly integrated two magnetic fields with Naruto's Sage Chakra, forming an enormous, dazzling Energy Sphere, which he hurled toward Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Kaguya Otsutsuki was directly hit by Shindai's attack. The energy sphere launched her high into the air, followed by a terrifying explosion that tore through the sky.
