Chapter 213 - Chapter 213: Kaguya Ōtsutsuki Defeated in an Instant, Explosive Rewards

"Limbo: Border Jail!"

After punching Kaguya Ōtsutsuki away, Yagyu glared and released four invisible shadows that rushed toward Kaguya, whose body was still twisted from the impact.

Seeing the four shadows approaching, Kaguya immediately created a spatial rift behind her, preparing to escape using the Yomotsu Hirasaka.

"Universal Pull!"

At that moment, the Sage Art Fist was shattered by the twisted space, transforming into a violent storm.

A terrifying gravitational force, like an invisible hand, grabbed Kaguya and pulled her away from the Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Without carrying any Truth-Seeking Orbs, her body not fully repaired, and her combat experience severely lacking, Kaguya, bound by the gravitational force, was instantly beaten like a ball by the four Limbo shadows.

The sounds of objects colliding or hitting the ground echoed continuously, and the wounds on Kaguya's body, which had not yet healed, were instantly marked with new dents.

The terrifying force turned Kaguya into a blur, constantly moving up and down, left and right, or flying from the northeast to the southwest, and so on...

As the progenitor of chakra, Kaguya clearly possessed top-tier Six Paths-level strength, but she was like the one-eyed Six Paths Madara facing Might Guy in the Eight Gates Released Formation.

This showed that Kaguya was purely a "mage," with physical abilities and taijutsu skills that were completely unworthy of her vast chakra reserves and Kekkei Mōra abilities.

She was like a child wielding firearms and rocket launchers—dangerous, but with glaring weaknesses.

With the Limbo shadows coordinating, Kaguya, who was being beaten into a daze, suddenly flew toward Yagyu.

Yagyu reached out and grabbed her body, then immediately activated Outer Path Maru, rapidly absorbing the Ten-Tails chakra within Kaguya.

Feeling her chakra rapidly depleting, Kaguya, who had been stunned, instantly woke up.

Panicked, she did not take the opportunity to use the Ash Killing Bones or the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack against Yagyu. Instead, the Rinne-Sharingan on her forehead emitted a crimson light.

Boom————

In an instant, even someone as powerful as Yagyu was forced to the ground.

Kaguya, too, was pressed to the ground.

The ice and snow space, now occupied by the forest, had transformed into a space where the ground was green, and the atmosphere was distorted.

This space was the Supergravity Space, with immensely powerful gravity.

Having lived on Earth for so many years, this was the first time Yagyu had experienced such intense gravity. The sudden force pressed him to the ground, leaving him somewhat disheveled.

The sensation of struggling to stand made Yagyu feel extremely uncomfortable, even suffocated.

Fortunately, he was in Six Paths Sage Mode, and with the natural energy enhancing him, he quickly adapted and prepared to stand up.

But the next second, he immediately entered the Kamui dimension.

Kaguya, who was also on the ground, struggled to stand and raised her hand to shoot the Ash Killing Bones at him.

The bone spikes, seemingly unaffected by gravity, shot like arrows through Yagyu's body.

Seeing Yagyu hide in another dimension again, Kaguya, whose body had now repaired itself, did not open a Yomotsu Hirasaka behind her this time. Instead, she opened a spatial rift on the ground and fell into it.

After the spatial rift healed, the green Supergravity Space was left with only Yagyu.

After several dozen seconds, Kaguya still did not reappear.

Clearly, Kaguya had learned her lesson this time. She wanted to trap Yagyu in this space or hide in the shadows to observe whether his intangibility had a time limit. Alternatively, she might be hiding in another dimension, waiting for Yagyu to reveal his main body before ambushing him.

Seeing this, Yagyu remained calm.

Although he had only used Outer Path Maru for a short time, this unique ocular technique was not like the basic ability of the Preta Path.

In just a short while, Yagyu had absorbed an astonishing amount of Ten-Tails chakra.

Coupled with his own chakra reserves, which were on par with the Nine-Tails—even surpassing Naruto and half of the Nine-Tails combined—he could now use Kamui freely.

Thus, Yagyu glared again, and the space in front of him twisted.

The terrifying space-time force not only twisted the space but also penetrated the Supergravity Space, like a fish leaping from a bucket into a vat, or breaking free from a net and returning to the ocean, swimming freely in the sea of alternate dimensions.

Soon, this fish encountered a new trap, caught in a new net, and was lifted out of the ocean into a new world.

The scene of this new world appeared in the twisted black hole and was reflected in Yagyu's eyes, as well as in the eyes of Kaguya, who was hiding in the Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Kaguya had no time to stop him and could only watch as Yagyu stepped into the black hole and disappeared from the Supergravity Space.

This scene left Kaguya even more helpless.

She hadn't expected Yagyu to have a way to escape the Amenominaka.

Now, she couldn't trap Yagyu in the Amenominaka' space and wait for him to exhaust his chakra or starve to death.

But in a direct confrontation, she couldn't defeat Yagyu. Aside from the Yomotsu Hirasaka, it was difficult for her to harm his shadow attacks.

However, if she didn't deal with this brat, Kaguya wouldn't be able to reclaim the chakra of the shinobi world and turn those under the Infinite Tsukuyomi into a White Zetsu army.

After a moment of hesitation, a cold glint flashed in Kaguya's eyes, as if she had made a decision.

Clearly, she had no intention of negotiating with Yagyu or giving up on reclaiming chakra and creating a White Zetsu army.

She had to reclaim all the chakra to restore her power to its peak, then create a White Zetsu army to deal with her clan members who might arrive on Earth at any moment.

Isshiki Ōtsutsuki had been dead for a thousand years, and the main family must have already noticed something was wrong.

Moreover, they had come to Earth with the mission to plant the God Tree and had left information with the main family.

If they failed to bring back the chakra fruit within the allotted time, the main family would definitely send someone to investigate.

If both she and Isshiki had died unexpectedly, the main family would search for the Karma they had left behind to revive them.

If they hadn't left any Karma or if it was unclear how they had died, the main family would replant the God Tree, obtain the chakra fruit, and then destroy this planet to avenge them.

And if they discovered that she had killed Isshiki, even if Kaguya left Earth, the main family would undoubtedly send people to search the nearby universe, find her, and execute her on the spot, or take her back to extract the power of the chakra fruit, or even refine her into a chakra pill.

Just thinking about such a scenario sent chills down Kaguya's spine.

Moreover, almost everyone in the main family possessed the Byakugan and Rinnegan, along with various divine techniques even more mysterious than ocular abilities. Kaguya didn't believe she could escape unscathed by leaving Earth.

Therefore, she couldn't afford to lose her power.

She had to reclaim all the chakra, and she needed the White Zetsu army, which could merge with the earth and vegetation and had incredible reconnaissance abilities.

Only then could she gain absolute intelligence superiority when the main family arrived on this planet.

Judging from Yagyu's earlier actions, he clearly didn't have the sealing techniques of Hagoromo and Hamura. Moreover, since this body wasn't her original one, even if she died, it wouldn't be a true death.

She could take the risk!

Thus, Kaguya immediately used the Amenominaka to leave the Supergravity Space, planning to enter the alternate dimension where Yagyu was and pull him back into the Supergravity Space. She would then force him to continuously twist space, consuming his chakra, and use this method to exhaust and limit Yagyu.

——Squelch!

However, just as Kaguya located Yagyu's dimension and transferred out, a black figure suddenly appeared before her, and a black sword pierced her heart.

The pain that even spatial rifts couldn't bring now surged within Kaguya.

Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Yagyu, who had appeared before her without warning, and finally spoke: "H-How is this possible?!"

"You've fallen out of sync with this world, Princess Kaguya."

Yagyu's lips curled into a slight smile as he shouted, "Sword of Nunoboko: Soul Burst!"

Boom————

In an instant, a blinding white light erupted, forming a sphere that expanded, attempting to engulf the entire space.

However, just as the pure white sphere began to grow, enveloping even Yagyu, it suddenly shrank as if time had reversed.

Upon closer inspection, it was due to a terrifying suction force absorbing the sphere's energy.

Yagyu raised his hand, and a small black hole appeared in his palm, releasing an astonishing gravitational pull.

The Yin-Yang and Five Elements power of the Truth-Seeking Orbs, the mental power of the Sword of Nunoboko, the soul power of the Yomi, and the chakra of the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki were all rapidly devoured by the black hole, which wasn't even the size of a ping-pong ball.

When the white light dissipated, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was no longer before Yagyu.

In her place was a corpse with a hole in its heart, its skin pale and lifeless, but not the clay-like white of a Ten-Tails Jinchūriki.

The owner of this corpse was none other than Madara Uchiha.

However, Madara Uchiha was now dead.

His soul had been obliterated by the Truth-Seeking Orbs enhanced by the Yomi's soul-cutting power and the Sword of Nunoboko's mental power, completely vanishing from the world.

It was because his soul had been destroyed that Kaguya, who had endured the explosion and whose body had surpassed its damage limit, had no resistance left. She couldn't recover, nor could she enter a berserk Tailed Beast state.

Instead, her consciousness was severed and returned to the moon.

This time, even if someone capable of casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi appeared, Kaguya couldn't possess a Ten-Tails Jinchūriki's body.

She hadn't had time to leave behind a will, and her consciousness had been severed from Madara Uchiha.

Without Black Zetsu as a conduit, she couldn't possess a Ten-Tails Jinchūriki's body.

As Kaguya's consciousness was severed, Yagyu quickly absorbed all the chakra of the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki in just a short while.

The terror of Outer Path Maru was once again demonstrated.

After the Nine Tails were created by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, they had gained independent consciousness.

Even if they were sealed back into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path by a Rinnegan user, they weren't truly returning to their original state as the Ten-Tails.

Instead, it was like being imprisoned within a Jinchūriki—they were merely trapped within the Demonic Statue.

If the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki's body exceeded its damage limit, the Ten-Tails' will would rebel, even breaking free from the Jinchūriki's body.

Similarly, if the Ten-Tails' body exceeded its damage limit, the Nine Tails trapped within would seize the opportunity to rebel, break free from the Ten-Tails, and return to being the Nine Tails.

But now, all the chakra within the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki had been devoured by Yagyu.

This chakra not only contained the Ten-Tails' violent will but also the wills of the Nine Tails.

However, just like Black Zetsu, these wills were instantly obliterated upon entering the black hole formed by Outer Path Maru.

The Ten-Tails' chakra became pure chakra, transforming Yagyu's already vast chakra reserves into a true ocean, seemingly infinite.

At this moment, Yagyu didn't seem like he had absorbed the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki's chakra—it was more like he had consumed... a chakra fruit.

Such a terrifying ability was merely a unique ocular technique of the Rinnegan.

This was why Yagyu had been so astonished when he awakened Outer Path Maru. If the colored light spheres had more levels and the highest level was a nine-colored light sphere, then Outer Path Maru would undoubtedly be a nine-colored light sphere.

The Rinnegan, a three-colored light sphere, had given rise to such a terrifying ability—it was truly beyond the norm.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As the white light was completely devoured, Madara Uchiha's corpse collapsed to the ground.

His body suddenly emitted colored lights that only Yagyu could see.

Then, several beams of colored light flew out of Madara's corpse and landed nearby, forming several colored light spheres.

Some of these light spheres had only three colors, while others had five, and there were even some with seven colors.

Clearly, Yagyu's speculation was correct.

The colored light spheres did indeed have sub-levels.

Outer Path Maru was truly an exception.

Boom—

Before Yagyu could rejoice, Madara's corpse underwent another change.

Clay-like white substances suddenly surged from Madara's body.

These substances gradually turned into the color of dry wood, forming a humanoid wooden statue nearby.

This statue was none other than the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which had lost the chakra of the Nine Tails!

Clearly, with Madara's death, the Ten-Tails had regressed, reverting to a monster without chakra.

Looking at this monster, Yagyu fell into deep thought, ignoring the colored light spheres on the ground.
