Kaguya Otsutsuki was struck by Naruto's Sage Art: Ultimate Tailed Beast Spiral Shuriken, sending explosions erupting one after another. Moreover, all the ninja on the ground unleashed their most powerful Ninjutsu techniques, rushing toward the figure of Kaguya Otsutsuki shrouded in smoke from the explosions.
The ninja present were well aware that their abilities were no match for Kaguya's strength. This was a rare opening to strike Kaguya—if they missed this, they would lose their only chance.
An even more violent explosion rang out.
Naruto shouted excitedly, "Feel the power of ninja will! This is the legacy of the ninja!"
When the smoke cleared, Kaguya Otsutsuki was indeed wounded—the entire left arm was gone. Suddenly, a white, chakra-like substance spewed from the severed stump where her left arm had been. This white material took the form of the Tailed Beasts.
Inside the sleeve of Kaguya's severed left arm lying on the ground, Black Zetsu stared in shock at her current state. Kaguya herself was now completely engulfed by this white, tailed-beast-like substance. From within it formed a rabbit-shaped figure bearing both the Rinnegan and Sharingan. This was Kaguya's Tailed Beast Transformation.
Flying over to Sasuke's side, Naruto grimly muttered, "[It's happening again]… What even is this thing? A wolf? A raccoon dog? A badger? Or is it actually a rabbit?"
Sasuke replied coldly, "Whatever it is, this form makes it easier for us to get close—and seal it."
Black Zetsu looked at Kaguya with concern and murmured, "Not in human form, nor transformed into the Ten-Tails by Mother's Will alone. The Tailed Beasts responded to Naruto's attack just now, nearly separating—but not yet stabilized!"
From within the transformed Kaguya, numerous giant white arms stretched out, reaching hungrily toward Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto's Shadow Clone shoved his real body and Sasuke aside before being grabbed by one of the white hands and immediately absorbed into it.
Naruto warned urgently, "Sasuke, don't let those white hands touch you—they'll absorb you instantly!"
"I know!"
Naruto and Sasuke dodged the grasping white arms. Other massive white arms targeted the other ninja. Many of them were touched and had their chakra drained instantly, turning them into piles of iron sand on the ground. Ninjutsu attacks aimed at these white hands had absolutely no effect, getting absorbed immediately.
One white hand shot straight toward Shindai with purposeful intent. A cannon barrel formed on Kannazuki's body. In an instant, Shindai fully charged his [Chakra Cluster Cannon] and fired a concentrated beam of chakra to halt the approaching white arm.
The Chakra Cluster Beam did slow down the giant white hand, but couldn't destroy it. It was slowly edging closer to Shindai.
[Four Red Yang Formation!]
At that moment, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Hikaku Uchiha, and Pakura positioned themselves in the east, south, west, and north directions respectively, centered on Shindai, raising a crimson, transparent, flame-wreathed cuboid barrier that sealed Shindai away from external attacks.
Shindai was now the key junction connecting all the ninja, so he absolutely could not be harmed.
[Sword of Totsuka!]
Itachi's Susanoo manifested a spiritual weapon formed from chakra—intangible and ethereal, one type of the Sword of Kusanagi. The blade itself contained sealing techniques, allowing it to sever the giant white hand through its sealing power.
[Kamui Shuriken!]
Obito infused Kamui energy into the shuriken thrown by his Susanoo, transforming the projectile into the shape of a Mangekyo Sharingan. The part of the giant white hand that was struck was swallowed into Obito's alternate dimension.
During the battle, the ninja discovered that if Wind Release techniques were strong and sharp enough, they could also sever these giant white hands.
Though many ninja had already lost their chakra and scattered into iron sand particles, with mutual support, the current situation had stabilized for now.
Just as everyone was preparing to push forward decisively, a sudden change occurred.
The ground within the Space of the Origin Ball cracked open, spewing forth massive amounts of chakra that were absorbed by Kaguya otsutsuki in her transformed tailed beast form.
Kaguya otsutsuki, now in her tailed beast form, became a pitch-black colossal sphere, while Kaguya herself reappeared beside it, her previously missing left arm fully restored.
Black Zetsu, who had been panicking before, suddenly calmed down and cackled ominously, "This Space of the Origin Ball, capable of directly extracting chakra from ninja trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, is Mother's special domain. The Tailed Beasts have calmed down. Mother has even unleashed the Truth-Seeking Ball—an Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball incorporating all nature transformations: Wind, Fire, Earth, Lightning, Water, Yin, and Yang—a supreme manifestation of Kekkei Mora! A new space has unfolded. You will pay for this with your lives!"
Naruto stared solemnly at the massive Truth-Seeking Ball Kaguya otsutsuki was releasing, "This... looks exactly like the ball behind my back!"
Sasuke retorted, "Are you kidding me? Ours are way too different in size! And hers is still growing!"
Obito grimaced, "That thing's too big to handle with Kamui. If it grows any further, we might never return at all."
Naruto glared at Kaguya otsutsuki, "Then our only choice now is to seal her true form immediately—that bunny hag!"
Minato Namikaze declared firmly, "That's right. This is our final mission as the Allied Ninja Forces. The peace of the ninja world depends on this moment!"
The ninja army responded resolutely to Minato Namikaze.
Kaguya otsutsuki spread her arms wide and proclaimed, "I am immortal!"
"If either of you dies, you won't be able to seal me. So... which one shall I choose?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki activated her Byakugan and glared at Naruto and Sasuke with killing intent, deciding on her next target.
Naruto shouted angrily, "I'll fight you! You bastard!"
Sasuke warned him, "Stay calm! Attack together! She's afraid of being sealed—cover us!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki launched a wide-range [All-Killing Ash Bones], and this time its speed far surpassed anything she had shown before.
As Naruto and Sasuke were about to be struck, Obito, Itachi, and Fugaku Uchiha stepped in front of them, blocking the All-Killing Ash Bones with their Susanoo.
Yet the Susanoo hit by the bone attack began to shatter.
Black Zetsu sneered mockingly, "Mother has just regained her strength—her power and speed have grown immensely!"
Kakashi called out to Minato Namikaze, "Obito! Sensei Minato!"
Kakashi formed a Lightning Cutter in his hand.
Obito glared at Kakashi with his eye, shouting, "Kamui!"
Obito infused his Kamui power into Kakashi's Lightning Cutter, forming a more powerful black-colored Lightning Cutter.
Minato Namikaze immediately hurled a [Flying Thunder God Kunai] toward Kaguya Otsutsuki, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport beside Kakashi before activating it again to appear where his kunai had landed.
[Kamui Lightning Cutter!]
Kakashi's Kamui Lightning Cutter slashed into Kaguya Otsutsuki's shoulder.
