At this moment, seeing the nine distinct forms of Tailed Beast chakra suspended between Madara and Kaoru, a faint, disdainful smile tugged at the corner of Kaoru's mouth.
A dazzling, sharp light blazed forth from his scarlet eyes as the immense, chaotic power flowing within him surged violently. He silently increased the strength of his technique "Might Makes Right".
"I told you before... With such a massive amount of chakra gathered here, there's no way I'd just let you take it all for nothing..."
"Oh no!"
Feeling the insurmountable gap in power between them, Black Zetsu's heart sank.
"If this keeps going, he's going to drain every last bit of chakra inside Madara..."
At that rate, even when his mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, was revived, her chakra reserves might end up being smaller than Kaoru's!
It seemed there was no way he could take back the power of the Ten-Tails from him now... In that case...
Looking at the chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts continuously being pulled out of Madara's body by Kaoru, Black Zetsu secretly made up his mind: "I have no choice but to do this now, Kaoru Uchiha. Consider this portion of Tailed Beast chakra... a gift from me to you."
Suddenly, Kaoru's eyes widened in surprise, a flash of astonishment passing through his Mangekyō Sharingan. He clearly felt the flow of chakra inside Madara abruptly come to a halt.
Black Zetsu suddenly drastically increased the rate at which Madara absorbed the energy from the earth. Madara—already swollen into a massive sphere—was instantly filled to the absolute limit, stretched beyond what his form could possibly contain.
.....
BOOM!!!
Stretched to breaking point, Madara's body suddenly exploded violently! Rocks and debris flew everywhere, kicking up clouds of dust and thick fog that blotted out the sky.
"Damn it..."
Cursing under his breath, Naruto and Sasuke were instantly blasted backward by the force of the explosion.
Meanwhile, Kaoru frowned slightly as he clearly felt the technique "Might Makes Right" suddenly cut off and stop working.
"It seems he rushed the revival of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki just to stop me from absorbing everything... It looks like I won't be able to completely drain the massive amount of chakra within Madara after all..."
Ignoring the chaos and changes happening all around him within the mist, Kaoru looked down at the massive cluster of nine distinct Tailed Beast chakra currently floating in his grasp.
"Doesn't matter... I'll just absorb this much for now."
An invisible barrier, undetectable to the naked eye, instantly formed around him. The vast mass of Tailed Beast chakra was rapidly drawn into his body, merging completely with his own.
"So... this is the true power of the Ten-Tails..."
Standing still with his eyes closed, Kaoru quietly sensed the changes taking place within him as he absorbed the power. An indescribable, profound transformation seemed to be stirring throughout his entire being.
WHOOSH!!!
A powerful, raging storm of chakra suddenly erupted from his body, sweeping everything away. The immense pressure clashed directly against the mist and energy surrounding Black Zetsu, the two forces locking together in a stalemate of equal intensity!
"Hah... At this rate, I suppose I'm technically half a Ten-Tails Jinchūriki now..."
While Kaoru stood there calmly sensing the newly acquired power within himself, the thick fog and mist near Black Zetsu gradually began to clear, revealing a terrifying and astonishing sight.
Under the wide, stunned eyes of Naruto and Sasuke, every last bit of chakra that had filled the world was drawn together and condensed into the form of a woman.
Her entire figure was shrouded in Black Zetsu's dark, ink-like shadows, with only a single blood-red Rinne Sharingan visible on her forehead—an eye that radiated an aura of ill omen and disaster.
Slowly, the dark shadows covering her receded completely, revealing her true form and appearance.
The glowing particles of chakra in the air finally faded away completely, as if swept up by a gentle current swirling around her. Emerging from the radiant light was a figure of breathtaking beauty, as if painted by the gods themselves.
She wore long lunar robes of greyish-white silk, embroidered with symmetrical tomoe patterns. Her silver hair flowed endlessly, floating gently even without a breeze, shimmering with light as it cascaded down like starlight.
Her skin was pale and flawless, white as fresh snow and almost translucent. And her face... it possessed a beauty so perfect and divine it seemed capable of moving the entire world to silence and awe.
Her slender waist was accentuated by the flowing robes, swaying gracefully with a mesmerizing elegance. Her chest rose and fell softly, forming enchanting curves of perfection.
Apart from the eerie, blood-red Rinne Sharingan positioned right in the center of her forehead, beneath delicate white eyebrows lay a pair of pure white eyes, clear and deep. Every single detail of her being seemed crafted by divine hands—truly flawless, without the slightest imperfection to be found.
Appearing abruptly before them, this woman possessed a face of unrivaled beauty, yet her expression was as fierce and terrifying as it was cold—carrying a boundless indifference toward all living beings.
Clad in her sage robes marked with tomoe symbols, she floated silently in mid-air, her endless white hair drifting as if caught in an invisible wind.
"This person... this person is exactly who that old Sage was talking about..."
Staring at the clear image of the woman before him, Naruto was so shocked he could barely speak, stammering and unable to form a complete sentence.
"Kaguya... Ōtsutsuki..."
Unlike the stunned Naruto, Sasuke uttered the name slowly and heavily. His Rinnegan flickered with a look of utter disbelief and shock.
"It's unbelievable... How can there be someone in this world possessing such immense chakra..."
"Madara earlier... he couldn't even begin to compare to her..."
Just as Naruto and Sasuke were still reeling from shock at the sheer magnitude of chakra Kaguya possessed—chakra as vast and boundless as the universe itself—an overwhelming pressure suddenly erupted from her body.
BOOM!!!
The ground beneath them shattered and crumbled, sending dust and sand flying in all directions. Naruto and Sasuke were instantly blasted backward and thrown flying by the sheer force of her aura alone.
"These two boys... they belong to Hagoromo and Hamura..."
Kaguya's voice rang out—clear, cold, and breathtakingly beautiful—as if it resonated through heaven and earth. Veins bulged around her eyes, and through the penetrating vision of her Byakugan, she clearly observed the chakra pathways flowing within Naruto and Sasuke.
"No... or perhaps... Indra and Ashura?"
"Were the techniques you possess taught to you by Hagoromo?"
Looking down at Naruto and Sasuke, who had been thrown backward by her power, her pure white eyes remained cold and devoid of emotion, looking upon them as if they were nothing more than insignificant specks of dust.
"No way... this can't be happening..."
Naruto and Sasuke stared back in absolute horror and disbelief.
"Just the pressure radiating from her body alone... was enough to send us flying..."
They were no longer weaklings to be pushed around easily.
One had been granted the power of Yin and the Rinnegan by the Sage of Six Paths...
The other possessed the power of Yang and Six Paths Senjutsu...
And yet, standing before Kaguya Ōtsutsuki... it felt as if all their power was nothing more than child's play.
Yomotsu Hirasaka!!!
At that moment, the Rinne Sharingan on Kaguya's forehead flared up, releasing an immense, boundless ocular power. Suddenly, a pitch-black rift in space-time opened right before her. She simply stepped into the void and instantly vanished from sight.
"She's gone..."
Naruto and Sasuke stared in shock at the empty space where she had just been. They quickly looked around, searching frantically for her whereabouts, but suddenly both of them stiffened completely—unable to move even a muscle.
Silently, another dark space-time rift opened directly behind them. Kaguya appeared instantly, standing close behind the two immobilized shinobi. She gazed down at them, slowly reaching out her hands to gently caress their cheeks.
Suddenly, two streams of lonely, sorrowful tears rolled down her eyes.
"I hate you... Hagoromo... Hamura... All of this chakra... it belongs to me!!!"
"What's wrong with her?!"
Looking at the expression of sorrow and loneliness on Kaguya's face, for some reason, both Naruto and Sasuke felt a strange twinge of sympathy and emotion stirring deep within their hearts...
