Chapter 452 - Defeating Otsutsuki Kaguya

A week passed quickly.

Monday morning, 9:00 AM.

Kitazawa arrived at the Hokage Office right on time.

Konan had already arrived earlier. When she saw him sit down in the Hokage's chair, she stood up quietly and walked behind him, beginning to massage his shoulders with practiced movements.

Kitazawa casually picked up a document from the desk.

This document was jointly submitted by the Economic Department and the Engineering Department.

With the help of a large number of Earth Release Ninjas, the Ninja World had already begun to establish a comprehensive transportation system.

From ordinary roads to railways, then to airships, and finally to the Spatial Transfer Seal, the framework of a modern transportation network had gradually taken shape.

Once such a transportation system was completed, the economy would inevitably experience rapid development.

Over time, the entire Ninja World would undergo truly earth-shaking changes.

When the internet was eventually researched and popularized, the Ninja World would gradually transform into the world Kitazawa was familiar with—transitioning from a feudal era into a modern age.

Kitazawa reviewed the document for a moment.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

Konan immediately withdrew her hands and stepped back quietly, hiding herself behind a nearby bookshelf.

"Come in." Kitazawa placed the document down on the desk.

"Good morning, Teacher Kitazawa!" Naruto's voice was as energetic and enthusiastic as always.

Standing beside him were Hagoromo and Sasuke.

Kitazawa stood up without saying much and immediately activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In the next instant, the four of them appeared on the Moon.

"Do you know the purpose of this trip?" Kitazawa asked calmly.

"It's to defeat the evil Ōtsutsuki Kaguya!" Naruto immediately clenched his fists and spoke with great excitement. "Teacher Kitazawa, just leave it to us!"

"If I can't defeat her, then you guys can step in."

Hearing this, Kitazawa instantly understood that Hagoromo had already told them about Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

That saved him quite a bit of explanation.

"Huh?" Naruto's excited expression froze instantly.

He suddenly felt like he had come here for nothing. Because he simply could not imagine a situation where Kitazawa would lose.

Sasuke felt the same way.

Although in Hagoromo's description, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was an extremely terrifying existence, they still had complete confidence in Kitazawa.

[Current Mission: Defeat Ōtsutsuki Kaguya]

[Mission Reward: Rinne Sharingan]

[Accept?]

Seeing the system prompt appear before his eyes, Kitazawa could not help but feel a small surge of excitement.

Although he had already expected it, he still felt relieved once the mission truly appeared.

The Rinne Sharingan was the ultimate eye that could only be obtained after consuming the God Tree Fruit.

It possessed two extremely powerful abilities.

The first was Infinite Tsukuyomi.

This Genjutsu required no explanation. Once activated, it could cast an illusion across the entire Ninja World.

The second ability was Amenominaka.

This was a powerful space-time Ninjutsu capable of transferring oneself or a target into other dimensions.

Those other dimensions referred to the six spaces of Amenominaka.

They were:

The Lava Dimension

The Ice Dimension

The Acid Dimension

The Desert Dimension

The Gravity Dimension

The Core Dimension

The most terrifying aspect of Amenominaka was that once someone was transported into those spaces, escaping was nearly impossible without special abilities.

And if one could not escape, it meant only one thing—waiting for death. After all, the environments within those six dimensions were extremely hostile.

In the original story, only Double Kamui had been capable of escaping those spaces.

Amenominaka was undoubtedly one of Kaguya's most powerful killing techniques.

Fortunately, Kitazawa possessed Yomotsu Hirasaka, allowing him to move freely within Amenominaka.

"Wait for me here." Kitazawa activated Double Kamui and stepped into the depths of the Moon.

Soon afterward, Kaguya came into view.

She was completely sealed by the Six Paths – Chibaku Tensei, suspended silently in midair.

Just like in the original story, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya wore a white robe, had long white hair, and possessed two horns.

The only difference was that the Rinne Sharingan on her forehead had not yet appeared. Just like the Sharingan, the Rinne Sharingan normally remained in a closed state.

Kaguya subconsciously opened her eyes. When she saw Kitazawa standing before her, she froze for a moment.

She had been imprisoned here for a thousand years. This was the first time anyone had ever broken into this place.

Naturally, she could not react immediately.

"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya," Kitazawa spoke first. "Nice to meet you. My name is Kitazawa."

"Kitazawa?" Kaguya frowned slightly.

She had never heard that name before. Furthermore, this place was inside the Six Paths – Chibaku Tensei.

Logically speaking, no one should have been able to enter.

"You know me?" Kaguya asked with an expressionless face.

"Hagoromo told me," Kitazawa replied.

"Hagoromo?!" Kaguya's expression changed instantly, and her voice rose unconsciously.

Normally, she rarely displayed emotional fluctuations, but her two sons were the exception.

She had never imagined that her own sons would betray her, side with humanity, and ultimately seal her away.

"I am already sealed here. What more does he want?" Kaguya suppressed the anger in her heart and spoke coldly.

"He is him, and I am me." Kitazawa smiled slightly. "I came here to let you out."

"What do you mean?" Kaguya was stunned.

She truly could not understand what was happening. Could this man have been sent by Black Zetsu?

"Let you out, and then defeat you," Kitazawa explained calmly.

"…?" Ōtsutsuki Kaguya became even more confused. What kind of nonsense was this man saying?

"Do you really dare to release me?" Kaguya composed herself slightly, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes.

Even though she did not understand Kitazawa's intentions, if she could escape, he would be nothing more than an ant she could crush effortlessly.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Kitazawa raised his hand. A massive surge of Chakra burst forth.

Kaguya could not help but feel slightly surprised.

From the quality of this Chakra alone, she could already judge that Kitazawa's strength was not weak.

However, she still remained confident. After all, she was a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan who had eaten the God Tree Fruit.

In a one-on-one battle, she feared no one in the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Moreover, Kitazawa was clearly not a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

He lacked the signature white hair and horns. And the Chakra within his body was unfamiliar to her.

If it had been the Chakra of Hagoromo or Hamura, she would have recognized it instantly.

Kaguya stared intently at the flowing Chakra. Soon afterward, she felt the seal on her body loosening.

Her heart began to beat faster. A trace of excitement appeared in her eyes. He was actually releasing her?

Moments later, the seal completely disappeared.

Kaguya subconsciously licked her lips. Now that she was free, the first thing she noticed was Kitazawa's Chakra.

To the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Chakra was everything.

Only by gathering enough Chakra could they plant a God Tree, harvest the fruit, and become stronger.

The everyday activity of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was to travel to different planets across the universe and plant God Trees.

Amenominaka! A crimson light flashed across Kaguya's forehead.

The Rinne Sharingan appeared. Invisible ripples spread across space.

Kitazawa suddenly felt the world spin. In the blink of an eye, he found himself standing in an unfamiliar dimension.

The moment he stabilized himself, he felt an intense heat radiating from every direction. This was the Lava Dimension of Amenominaka.

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow slightly. He immediately understood Kaguya's plan.

She was worried that Hagoromo might be waiting outside, so she had dragged Kitazawa directly into Amenominaka to deal with him first.

"It seems you're not as naive as I thought." Kitazawa chuckled lightly.

Kaguya ignored him and directly raised her hand. In an instant, all the lava surged toward Kitazawa like a tidal wave.

Naturally, this lava was no ordinary lava. Even if someone attempted to counter it with Water Release, it would still be useless.

Shinra Tensei!

Kitazawa activated his Rinnegan. An invisible repulsive force erupted outward, blasting the surging lava backward.

"You have the Rinnegan?" Kaguya's gaze narrowed as she spoke. "Are you Hagoromo's son?"

It was only natural for her to think this way. After all, the Rinnegan could normally only be awakened through a special bloodline.

"I am not," Kitazawa replied, the corner of his lips twitching slightly.

"Whether you are or not doesn't matter." Kaguya clenched her fists as she spoke coldly. "Once I absorb your Chakra, I will be able to defeat Hagoromo and Hamura."

Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!

She had clearly decided to take the battle seriously. Countless fists appeared out of thin air.

The entire dimension trembled violently. Even the surrounding lava was instantly pulverized. A storm of fists descended toward Kitazawa like torrential rain.

Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!

Kitazawa also thrust both fists forward.

Chakra transformed into countless fist shadows that filled the sky, directly colliding with Kaguya's attack.

Space distorted violently.

A series of deep explosions echoed continuously.

"You actually know the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack?" Kaguya's eyes widened in shock.

Even her two sons had never mastered this technique.

"Who exactly are you?" Without waiting for Kitazawa's reply, she continued asking. "Are you Isshiki? No… that's not right. You don't have a Karma on your body."

Karma was a special ability unique to the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Its function was to convert one's body into data and implant it into another person's body, allowing the Ōtsutsuki to resurrect through that host.

Simply put, as long as a Karma seal existed, an Ōtsutsuki could never truly die.

Back then, when Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was betrayed by Kaguya, he encountered Jigen just before dying.

He used Karma to parasitize Jigen's body and survive.

"I'll tell you after I defeat you," Kitazawa replied casually.

Kaguya was instantly enraged.

She activated Amenominaka once again. Invisible ripples spread outward.

Kitazawa immediately felt the space around him twist. In the next moment, the environment changed again.

He appeared inside another dimension. An overwhelming gravity suddenly pressed down upon him, forcing him toward the ground.

This was the Gravity Dimension of Amenominaka.

Even Kaguya herself could not completely ignore the powerful gravity within this dimension. However, she could still freely use her abilities.

In the original story, she had dragged Uchiha Obito into this dimension and reduced him to ashes using All-Killing Ash Bones.

Kaguya looked at Kitazawa, who seemed to be struggling under the immense gravity, and immediately raised her hand.

All-Killing Ash Bones!

Two bone projectiles shot out from her palms.

Seeing this, Kaguya felt a surge of excitement. Kitazawa's Chakra reserves were among the largest she had ever encountered.

His Chakra alone was nearly comparable to the entire Ninja World combined.

If she absorbed his Chakra, her strength would undoubtedly increase dramatically.

At that time, even if the Ōtsutsuki Clan sent pursuers after her, she would not need to fear them.

However, in the next moment, her expression suddenly froze. She saw Kitazawa raise his hand calmly.

Two bone spikes shot out from his palm. They collided with Kaguya's two projectiles and dissolved in midair.

"You can also use All-Killing Ash Bones?" Kaguya felt that the situation was becoming absurd.

Even within the Ōtsutsuki Clan, very few individuals possessed both All-Killing Ash Bones and Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.

And yet Kitazawa, who clearly was not an Ōtsutsuki, could use both techniques. Thinking this, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya immediately activated Yomotsu Hirasaka.

She stepped into the portal and disappeared instantly.

Kitazawa raised an eyebrow slightly.

He knew that Kaguya had not fled. Instead, she had gone to the Core Dimension of Amenominaka.

Unlike the other five dimensions, the Core Dimension possessed the ability to amplify Chakra.

Inside that dimension, Kaguya could unleash her ultimate technique—Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball.

According to official descriptions, this technique could annihilate all forms of matter and energy, returning everything to nothingness.

At the same time, it could also serve as the starting point for the birth of a new dimension.

In the original story, if it had not been for the intervention of Six Paths – Chibaku Tensei, the Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball might have destroyed the entire Amenominaka space.

Without hesitation, Kitazawa activated Yomotsu Hirasaka.

He stepped into the Core Dimension. Immediately, he saw Ōtsutsuki Kaguya gathering her power.

A massive Truth-Seeking Ball was rapidly condensing in front of her.

"You even know Yomotsu Hirasaka?" Seeing Kitazawa appear, Kaguya's mind fell into chaos.

The shock that Kitazawa brought her was almost as great as the day when Hagoromo and Hamura suddenly joined forces to seal her.

"I don't believe you can also use the Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball!" Kaguya stopped holding back.

She poured an endless stream of Chakra into the growing Truth-Seeking Ball.

Originally, she had planned to finish charging it first, then return to the Gravity Dimension through Yomotsu Hirasaka and destroy Kitazawa there.

However, since Kitazawa had followed her into the Core Dimension, she had no choice but to release the technique here.

"I truly cannot use the Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball," Kitazawa replied calmly.

The reason was simple. The prerequisite for using the Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball was possessing Amenominaka.

And Amenominaka was a unique ability of the Rinne Sharingan.

Hearing this, Kaguya felt slightly relieved.

At that moment, Kitazawa suddenly clapped his hands together.

Sage Mode!

Senju Chakra Mode!

Yang Release Chakra Mode!

Yin Seal: Release!

Tengan Baizō!

Tenseigan Chakra Mode!

The Chakra around Kitazawa exploded outward like boiling water.

Kaguya's heart trembled when she saw this. Kitazawa's Chakra reserves were already comparable to hers.

And that was terrifying.

After all, she had eaten the God Tree Fruit, giving her far greater Chakra reserves than ordinary Ōtsutsuki members.

A deep sense of danger began rising in her heart. Kaguya gritted her teeth and poured every last drop of Chakra into the Truth-Seeking Ball.

The sphere expanded rapidly. It resembled a massive black sun, covering the entire Core Dimension.

Sage Art: Wood Release – True Several Thousand Hands!

Majestic Attire: Susanoo!

Kitazawa clapped his hands together once again.

A gigantic armored Thousand-Armed Kannon statue appeared in the air. The statue extended its countless hands forward.

The rapidly expanding Truth-Seeking Ball suddenly stopped growing.

"This is impossible!" Seeing this scene, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's eyes widened in disbelief.

Top Transformed Buddha!

Kitazawa unleashed the strongest attack he had ever used. The thousand-armed statue clenched its fists. All one thousand arms moved simultaneously.

Countless fists shattered the massive Truth-Seeking Ball and rained down toward Kaguya.

Despite her shock, Kaguya refused to surrender. She immediately transformed into her Tailed Beast form, becoming a gigantic white rabbit monster.

The endless fists struck her body one after another.

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya screamed in agony.

The entire Core Dimension shook violently. The only sound remaining was the continuous rain of fists crashing down upon the enormous white rabbit.

After a long time, the commotion gradually subsided.

Kaguya lay on the ground. She had already been forced back into her human form.

Her clothes were torn apart. The exposed skin on her body was covered in blood and deep wounds.

The snow-white skin she once possessed was no longer visible.

Kitazawa slowly walked toward her. He glanced down at her body and noticed that she was rapidly regenerating.

This was the immortal body she had gained after consuming the God Tree Fruit. Under normal circumstances, such a being could only be sealed, not killed.
