Chapter 124 - Chapter 124: The Death of the Sage of Six Paths

The Sage of Six Paths stepped out from his Susanoo.

Pressing his hands together slowly, he released his full Six Paths-level chakra and eye power.

"Planetary Devastation!"

A core—larger than even the one that sealed Kaguya—formed in the sky.

The moment it appeared, the Moon's gravity spiked hundreds of times over.

Its gravitational pull focused entirely on Naruto.

After casting this ultimate jutsu, the Sage was panting slightly—

But he smiled faintly, relieved.

"It ends here, Ashura.

Don't blame me.

Blame the greed in your heart.

I hope someday you'll learn and change."

In the Sage's eyes, no one could escape a Planetary Devastation of this magnitude.

The gravitational force acting on Naruto was overwhelming.

But Naruto only chuckled.

"You think I'm Kaguya or something?"

With a smirk, he marked a few Flying Thunder God seals on the Moon's surface—

—then disappeared in a flash of light.

Why take a hit from a giant, slow-charging move like Planetary Devastation…

When you can just teleport?

Even Kaguya could have escaped if she used Yomotsu Hirasaka or Amenominaka before being sealed.

With her stats and overloaded abilities, she could've easily stalled them to death.

The Sage was stunned—

"This brat… plays dirty!"

The Planetary Devastation hovered midair—

Can't continue it…

Can't cancel it…

Meanwhile, Naruto popped back into Konoha, grabbed a drink from his fridge, and took a refreshing sip.

A few minutes later—

He activated his eye power and glanced back at the Moon.

The Sage had no choice but to cancel the jutsu.

At the exact moment the technique dispersed—

Naruto vanished again.

His drink still mid-air, he reappeared on the Moon…

In his hand—

A Super Five-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb, already fully charged.

One hand raised—

The bomb was massive, rivaling a Gaia Cannon.

It pulsed with terrifying chakra.

Black lightning—like Conqueror's Haki—crackled across its surface.

It was also infused with heavy Sage Chakra.

Naruto threw it—

—straight at the Sage.

It locked on like a missile.

The Sage began to sweat.

He had used up most of his power casting the Planetary Devastation.

Dodging wasn't an option.

All he could do was defend.

He summoned another Truth-Seeking Orb Rashōmon—

A gate forged from dozens of Truth-Seeking Balls.

Kaguya, watching from below, pumped her fist.

"Yes! Smash him!"

The Tailed Beast Bomb streaked upward, trailing flame and fury.

Just before impact—

Naruto's eyes flashed.

"Kamui!"

At his current level, Kamui's area of effect had expanded dozens of times.

A swirling vortex opened mid-air—

—and swallowed the Rashōmon gate entirely.

The Sage's eyes widened in disbelief.

No more barrier.

The Tailed Beast Bomb struck him directly.

BOOM!!!

The explosion shattered the sky—

Even in the Shinobi World far below, everyone could see it.

The Moon—

Vanished.

Mouths dropped across the world.

Especially one spiky blond-haired bomber—

Deidara, who had just been bickering with Sasori.

He froze mid-sentence.

Then trembled.

"T-That… That explosion!

Who did it?!

That… That's true art!"

"Sasori-senpai! Did you see?!

Explosions ARE art!!"

Sasori, hidden inside his puppet shell, rolled his eyes.

"That was a real explosion.

Yours? Just firecrackers."

Even he was shaken.

No puppet would survive a blast like that.

As the smoke cleared—

The Moon was gone.

Only three remained in space:

Naruto, Kaguya, and Black Zetsu.

And below them—

The charred, battered, barely-alive body of the Sage of Six Paths.

His robes were in tatters.

His body blackened.

One arm gone.

He had used nearly all his Six Paths chakra just to survive the hit.

He floated midair, eyes dim—

Looking up at Naruto, still fresh, still strong.

"Is… Is this the end of the Shinobi World…?"

Naruto didn't give him a second chance.

He raised his hand.

"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

A blinding silver vortex shot out—

It shattered the last remnants of the Sage's power.

Naruto flashed forward—

Ripped the Ten-Tails straight out of his body.

The Ten-Tails was now thin and gaunt.

The Sage was finished.

Naruto divided the Tailed Beasts once more.

The sacrificed Two-Tails, Five-Tails, and Eight-Tails remained lost—

He gave the others to the system.

Only their cores remained.

"Congratulations, host.

You've earned five Six Paths-level draws."

The Sage just saved him a lot of effort.

Kaguya watched her traitorous son fall—

Her cheeks flushed with emotion.

But her happiness was short-lived—

Because Naruto turned to her next.

"Naruto! Quick, let me out!

I'll give you everything I promised!"

She had assumed they were on the same side.

After all, he fought her son—

So surely they were allies now.

Naruto approached, smiling warmly.

"Of course.

Let me release you.

It might hurt a little—don't resist."

Kaguya nodded quickly, eyes full of hope.

Then—

Naruto placed his hand on her again.

"System. Absorb."

Instantly, Kaguya felt the divine energy inside her being ripped out.

The energy of the God Tree fruit—

Vast, pure, and powerful.

At first, she assumed it was normal.

Just part of the release process.

But soon—

She realized something was wrong.

I… I'm being drained dry…

By the time she wanted to resist—

It was too late.

All she could do—

Was stare in horror…

As Naruto absorbed everything.
