Poof! Poof!
Two puffs of smoke rose from the spot, and immediately after, the figures of Karin and Sasuke appeared out of thin air in front of Naruto.
Hiss-
The moment she appeared, a horrifying sizzling sound came from Karin's body. It was the acid splashed on her, mostly blocked by her feathers.
But even with the nearly endless supply of vajra feathers blocking it, the acid had still stealthily seeped into the gaps between the feathers. She couldn't help but let out a sound of suppressed pain.
The golden Valkyrie flew a bit further away from the others before violently flapping her wings.
Immediately, a strong wind actively lifted all the acid from her body and tossed it all at once towards another direction.
The acid landed on the ground of the Core Dimension, instantly corroding a large pit into the red earth and rock.
In comparison, Sasuke's situation was much better.
Unlike Karin, he hadn't been thrown directly into the acid space, but into the super-gravity space.
There, apart from the slightly troublesome gravity suppression, there weren't many real dangers.
For the current Sasuke, having undergone various physical training and enhancements, he could move freely even in that super-gravity space.
He had even already replaced one of his eyes with Obiko's Kamui Sharingan.
"Hey, wasn't that a bit too fast?"
Naruto looked at the bloodstain still on Sasuke's face and scratched the back of his head.
Hearing this, Sasuke's expression was also a bit awkward, but he still forced himself to explain calmly.
"In the middle of battle, there's no time to consider so much. You have to be decisive."
"Alright, alright, whatever you say makes sense."
Naruto could only wave his hand at this, 'Since it's changed, it's changed. With the 'hot-swappable' nature of the Sharingan, he could always swap it back later if he didn't need it.'
'Thinking about it, the Uchiha Clan was really convenient.'
"Perfect timing, it's our turn to counterattack now. Are you up for it?"
Karin finally managed to shake off the strong acid that was frantically burning her skin and flesh. She transformed back into her human form, lightly bit her wrist, and then the scorch marks on her body actually just disappeared.
Just like that! Disappeared!
This scene wasn't just surprising to Naruto, and even the well-traveled Jiraiya hadn't seen anything like it.
'What was the principle behind this?'
'Using her own life force to recover?'
Jiraiya recalled the past deeds of Naruto's mother, Uzumaki Kushina.
'Hmm... Nothing similar. So this should be considered an individual mutation?'
Just as Jiraiya was reminiscing, Naruto suddenly turned to him and Karin and said.
"Jiraiya-sensei, you and Karin get ready. The moment Kaguya appears, immediately restrain and hold her. We can't give her another chance to escape."
"Sasuke, can you open a gate to the space where Kaguya is?"
Hearing Naruto's question, Sasuke didn't boast, but simply mobilized the Chakra throughout his body, attempting to activate the spatial power.
"I can... but the amount of Chakra required is huge."
After all, this wasn't his own eye, and he only had one. Achieving the same effect as Obito in the original work was still very difficult.
"That's fine."
As he spoke, Naruto directly placed his hand on Sasuke's shoulder.
A golden stream of Chakra instantly covered his body.
In Sasuke's perception, the Chakra within him immediately became endless.
The amount of Chakra transmitted in just these few seconds had already surpassed his own total.
"You really are..."
Sighing once again at Naruto's incredibility, Sasuke didn't dawdle. He decisively widened that Sharingan towards a direction.
"Kamui!"
Instantly, a spiral-shaped spatial fissure appeared in mid-air within the Core Dimension.
Naruto's Observation Haki rapidly probed the space on the other side through the fissure.
"Not this one."
The world on the other side of the fissure was a space filled with scorching magma.
Hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke decisively closed and opened his eye, using Kamui once again.
This time, it opened a gate to the desert world.
"Not it!"
Close eye, open eye.
It has to be said, young people's physical constitution is really good… or perhaps Sasuke's talent as Indra's reincarnation made his operation of the Kamui even surpass Obito himself.
Coupled with Naruto's powerful Chakra support, he didn't need to rest for a while before opening a new fissure like Obito did.
Four spaces had already been eliminated, so the last remaining frozen space was basically a sure thing.
-Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that Kaguya, scared by their beating, had simply left them in the Amenominaka and chosen to return to the main Ninja World.
But if that were really the case, they had other ways to chase her out.
The moment the spatial vortex opened a tiny hole this time, Karin and Jiraiya, without needing Naruto's reminder, proactively activated their control abilities.
"Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant!"
"Great Fullness: Paranimmita-vasavatti!"
Instantly, the deep croaking of toads and the cries of the Luan bird mixed together, forming a powerful hallucinogenic effect.
Even though Naruto and Sasuke weren't the targets, they still felt slightly dizzy. Let alone Kaguya on the other side, who took this move head-on.
In the frozen space, Kaguya was still feeling apprehensive from Naruto tearing open Yomotsu Hirasaka with his bare hands and the terrifying momentum he released.
Facts proved that Kaguya was not the supreme 'Rabbit Goddess' as the world imagined.
She also would feel anxiety and fear because other Otsutsuki Clan's members would arrive in the Ninja World.
It was just that over years of facing the small lives born because of her and controlled by her, she had grown accustomed to being aloof, hence her always emotionless appearance.
It was Naruto who truly made her recall the time when she was Otsutsuki Kaguya, as a 'lowly one', who might be sacrificed to the God Tree. The fear of death.
"Impossible, I... I am immortal and indestructible."
Kaguya whispered, unsure if she was speaking to Black Zetsu or to herself.
Her behavior of missing the opportunity to fight precisely proved that as a 'warrior', Kaguya was not qualified.
She just happened to possess power so strong it surpassed that of ordinary Otsutsuki Clan's members.
And it was during this small delay that Naruto's side had already completed their linked attack.
Beside Kaguya, a spiral-shaped spatial fissure abruptly opened.
From within came the attacks of Jiraiya and Karin.
The moment she heard the bird cries and frog croaks, Kaguya felt as if her brain had been struck heavily.
Immediately after, she vanished from the frozen space, replaced by meat walls resembling stomach linings and four giant toads dressed as divine generals.
On the bodies of the four toads were written the characters for [Immovable], [Bright], and [King].
"...An illusion?"
Kaguya, initially panicked by the sudden environmental change, saw through the Toad Confrontation Chant cast by the two Toad Sages as the blood-red Rinnegan on her forehead slightly rotated.
After all, it was a Genjutsu released relying on Chakra, so Kaguya had extremely strong resistance to it.
After seeing through it, without Kaguya doing anything, the surrounding scene instantly shattered.
But as one illusion disappeared, it was replaced by another.
This time, what appeared before her was not a terrifying stomach, but the Ninth Heaven, like a celestial paradise.
This was literally 'resplendent and magnificent'.
Towers Kaguya had never seen before appeared among the auspicious clouds, every tile on the rooftops as transparent as glass.
At some point, petals actually began to fall from the sky. The breathtakingly beautiful scene made even Kaguya pause.
Such scenes couldn't be seen on the power-and-efficiency-first Otsutsuki home planet.
If those miraculous sights could at most make Kaguya feel surprised, then the scene that appeared next completely plunged her into a stupor.
As if knowing her innermost desires, God Trees symbolizing power suddenly sprang up from the ground, bearing fruits Kaguya was all too familiar with.
Those were countless Chakra Fruits!
"How... could this be?"
Instantly, Kaguya's consciousness suffered a great impact. She almost couldn't control herself from reaching out to pick those fruits.
