"Amenominaka." Under duress, she changes the spatial setting once again.
This time, it's supergravity.
Everyone can feel the gravity exerted on them.
"Interesting, she can even change gravity," murmurs Naruto, his gaze toward Kaguya gradually turning more pleased.
He knows this is far from all that Kaguya possesses. Perhaps she can really apply enough pressure.
"Kaguya seems to be at a disadvantage," Hinata and Hanabi glance at each other, determination evident in their eyes.
Apparently, they are ready to act.
"Looks like a little mouse is getting restless," Sasuke notices this scene, unable to suppress a light chuckle.
"Naruto, can you handle it? If you need my help, I might reluctantly step in," he calls out to Naruto.
"No need," Naruto glances at Hinata. Once a gentle woman, she now emits a blend of chakra and spiritual pressure strong enough for him to take notice.
Hinata is an unexpected factor, but also a surprising one.
"If I'm killed by them, it means Jōmyōtō doesn't have the ability to bring peace." With those words, Naruto suddenly appears in front of the unprepared Kaguya, his right leg whipping out like a venomous snake, kicking her directly.
Hovering in mid-air, Kaguya remains expressionless, tossing a Truth-Seeking Ball.
"Are you completely immune to physical effects? What about spiritual pressure?" Naruto smashes the Truth-Seeking Ball with a punch, immediately followed by a Masked Man's form.
"Kamui Shuriken."
A burst of white light shoots towards Kaguya.
"Kūkan." A glass wall suddenly appears in front of Kaguya, blocking the Kamui Shuriken.
"Hmm? Those eyes." Naruto looks at Hinata with considerable surprise. Within her Byakugan, white-blue streams of light slowly rotate.
"Eyes that fuse chakra and spiritual pressure can even use the Dark Arts." Speaking softly, Amaterasu erupts from Naruto's hand, scattering like stardust towards the ground.
"Hmm." The light in Hinata's eyes rotates again, the space distorting, causing visual confusion. The scorching and bright Amaterasu has seemingly been altered and vanishes in the air.
"Is this another manifestation of Mangekyō Sharingan? Being able to directly distort my attacks, rendering them ineffective?" Naruto's expression momentarily shows surprise.
As you sow, so shall you reap.
After fusing her spiritual pressure with the energy he provided, Hinata's eyes have evolved into a new realm.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka." At this moment, Kaguya appears behind Naruto.
Even though Hinata also carries an aura she detests, from the current situation, Hinata seems to be on her side.
Kaguya grabs Naruto's collar, her gaze cold as she says, "The children who took away my chakra, return to your mother's embrace."
She wants to absorb Asura's chakra through her own abilities.
However, she's destined to be disappointed.
In Kaguya's perplexed gaze, Naruto maintains his smile and conjures the Masked Man's form in his hand.
"Are you looking for him? Let me tell you a secret." Naruto suddenly whispers, softly.
"In fact, I am the reincarnation of Asura." As he finishes speaking, he thrusts a fist into Kaguya's abdomen, sending her flying.
"Sensōha, Suiren!" Wave after wave of a fiery sea engulf Kaguya in an instant.
But Kaguya, now on guard, uses Yomotsu Hirasaka to escape.
Her face shows remnants of shock and anger.
"Are you the reincarnation of Asura?" She asks incredulously.
Although she doesn't dare to believe it, during their previous close contact, she could sense a hint of the essence of a descendant in Naruto.
"You've betrayed chakra and embraced Jashin?" What angers her even more is Naruto's standpoint.
The Shinobi and Jashin have always been in opposition.
The victor becomes the king, and the loser the loser.
The victories in past battles have proven that chakra is more powerful than the energy system of Jashin.
For her descendant to abandon the boundless potential of chakra and side with the losers, it's a decision too foolish.
And one that makes her want to kill him.
"It seems you have a slight misunderstanding about chakra," Naruto observes Kaguya's expression and understands her thoughts.
"Chakra is a thing of the past."
"However, that doesn't mean I've given up on chakra. Although it's a relic of the old era, chakra still holds some value." Naruto remains calm, creating a Rasengan from chakra, rapidly spinning in the bright sun.
"Whether it's chakra or spiritual pressure, their upper limits are actually limited. It's just that compared to each other, chakra is more restrictive." Naruto's tone is calm, making others look askance.
"Is spiritual pressure also limited?" Sasuke pauses, looking dazedly at Naruto.
In his original understanding, chakra had been replaced, and the energy system of spiritual pressure should be the future trend of this world.
But from Naruto's words, it seems his scope and vision have surpassed his own, entering a new realm.
"Both spiritual pressure and chakra have certain limitations." Naruto looks calmly at Sasuke, his voice echoing through the entire space.
"More accurately, all energy systems are not static but rather elevated to new levels through comprehension and integration. While energy systems may be universal, one's own energy system is unique."
"Even though spiritual pressure is formidable, when chakra is cultivated to its peak, it's not weak." Naruto's Rasengan quickly expands to the size of a meteorite, plummeting from the sky.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The entire space trembles, collapses, with shards falling from the air.
"This kind of fluctuation? I didn't expect your chakra to be cultivated to this extent." Sasuke's expression undergoes a change.
"Chakra doesn't work on me." Kaguya remains unmoved, coldly snorting. In the next moment, the seemingly world-ending Rasengan is completely absorbed.
As the progenitor of chakra, she can absorb all ninjutsu.
"Is that so? I think I mentioned this before." Naruto's eyes are mocking. "Only through integration and comprehension can an energy system reach new heights. Do you think someone like me, who has such understanding, would still practice pure chakra?"
"Hmm." As he speaks, a strange fluctuation occurs, followed by an expression of extreme shock and pain on Kaguya's face.
Her body swells continuously, and white spiritual pressure emanates from her mouth.
"By fusing spiritual pressure and chakra, I've created a new energy system. However, the main drawback currently is that the spiritual pressure's power is too strong, and the fusion with chakra isn't enough." Naruto walks slowly toward Kaguya.
"This is also one reason I unsealed you. I want to see what unique traits the chakra of the progenitor of chakra possesses." Finished speaking, Naruto's right hand reaches towards Kaguya's heart.
"Although Asura's chakra is pure, compared to you, it's just too weak. I believe that with your chakra, my spiritual pressure can completely merge with chakra, and I will break free from both the Pure Land and the Ninja World."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Continuous explosions erupted within Kaguya's body. Blood spurted from her mouth, her expression wilted, and she collapsed weakly on the ground.
"Is this how it ends? The Chakra Originator's capacity is far less than I expected," Naruto expressed his disappointment uncontrollably.
Kaguya, despite being the Chakra Originator, should have had power surpassing all other ninjas. However, her combat experience was pitifully lacking, both in fighting style and strategy, showing extreme naivety.
Even absorbing his Rasengan in such a foolish manner.
If she had paid closer attention, she would have sensed that something was wrong with the Rasengan.
"Ten no Jutsu." Just as Naruto's hand was about to plunge into Kaguya's chest, Hinata activated her dojutsu, instantly swapping her and Kaguya's bodies.
"Shift." A tremendous wave burst from Hinata's body, throwing Naruto a hundred meters away.
"Hand of God." White spiritual pressure burst from Hinata's eyes, merging into Kaguya's body.
Kaguya, originally pale, swiftly recovered, her internal injuries rapidly healing.
"It seems you've raised quite the monster, Naruto," Sasuke teased from the sidelines, his arms crossed.
"No worries. Ending it like this would be too dull," Naruto remarked, conjuring another Rasengan in his hand and casually throwing it toward Hinata.
"After the fusion of spiritual pressure and chakra, the Byakugan's evolution is far more practical than the Rinnegan, but alas, it ends here." The continuously falling Rasengans had the power to obliterate the entire Konoha village.
"Return to the Sky." Hinata's eyes revealed terrifying meridians, surrounded by a white vortex. Spiritual pressure and chakra intertwined, forming a massive oval.
"Boom!" Dozens of Rasengans crashed into the Return to the Sky technique, colliding under its guidance. The resulting explosion's shockwaves were absorbed by the Return to the Sky.
These terrifying energies kept swirling around Hinata, creating a natural protective barrier.
"Reverse." The Byakugan emitted blinding white light, condensing the protective barriers into a single ball, shooting back toward the remaining Rasengans.
With a deafening roar, the entire area collapsed once again, but Hinata was visibly out of breath, while Naruto's aura remained remarkably calm.
"Your newly awakened eyes have reached such a level; it's truly surprising," Naruto couldn't help but admire.
"This should be the new height of the Bloodline Limit. It seems both oneself and the Bloodline Limit can continuously break through. You've taken a completely different path from mine, and it's hard to bring myself to kill you."
Naruto felt a sense of pity for Hinata.
She possessed the will and potential of a strong individual. With proper nurturing, she might surpass Sasuke in the future.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka." Kaguya, fully recovered, resorted to her old tricks, opening the black gates and appearing behind Naruto.
"Joint Killing Gray Bones."
Bones shot out from her palm.
This was one of Kaguya's killer moves; being struck by these bones would gradually disintegrate the victim, much like the Edo Tensei.
"Mirror Flower, Water Moon." This time, Naruto didn't overestimate it, immediately twisting the Joint Killing Gray Bones technique.
"If struck, even the body of the Grim Reaper couldn't resist, maybe even disintegrating directly," Naruto's eyes revealed fear.
"Although Chakra isn't powerful, it's versatile."
"Shoot him, Silver Spear." The Zanpakuto in Naruto's hand suddenly turned into a white light, piercing Kaguya's abdomen.
The blade reverted, leaving remnants of Kaguya's blood.
"This blade?!" Kaguya stared at the shrinking Zanpakuto in disbelief, clutching her stomach in pain.
"My injuries haven't healed."
Kaguya's body was not only immune to all ninjutsu but also possessed incredibly strong self-healing abilities.
Naruto and Kaguya then engaged in battle, with Hinata assisting Kaguya on the sidelines.
With the assistance of her mysterious dojutsu, Kaguya momentarily gained a slight advantage.
However, from the battle, Naruto could sense Kaguya's weakness in combat consciousness.
It could be said that Kaguya was accustomed to overpowering others with brute strength and had never experienced an evenly matched fight.
It was like having immense strength but nowhere to apply it.
But as the battle intensified, her combat consciousness also showed a sudden improvement.
"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!" Chakra gathered in Kaguya's hands, condensing into thousands of fists in the air.
"Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer." Naruto even used various Shikai he had learned, continuously shooting black Moon Fang Heaven-Piercers from his sword.
A violent burst of energy erupted, sweeping everything below.
"Joint Killing Gray Bones." Kaguya unleashed her killer move again.
"Shoot him, Silver Spear."
"Sitting Upon the Frozen Heavens, Ice Rondel." Space froze, and heavy snow fell from the sky.
This was a copied Zanpakuto ability from Hitsugaya Toshiro.
Using spiritual pressure to freeze the air and form an ice dragon.
This was Naruto's first time using the Ice Rondel.
It could be said that he was having fun.
The ice dragon roared, sweeping toward Kaguya.
"Return to the Sky." Hinata struggled to use Return to the Sky for the second time.
"Joint Killing Gray Bones."
Kaguya temporarily put aside her aversion to Hinata, using her killing techniques to resist Naruto's Ice Rondel.
"Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer."
"Flowing Blade, Like Fire."
However, Naruto was completely enjoying himself. His continuous attacks placed the two in a difficult position.
While they were struggling, Naruto was gaining new insights into his abilities.
In the previous battles, he hadn't truly indulged himself.
Although Sasuke was powerful, he definitely couldn't withstand Naruto's continuous attacks.
After joining forces, Kaguya with Yomotsu Hirasaka, capable of spatial jumps, and Hinata with her dojutsu that absorbed abilities like the Gedo Statue and Zanpakuto, although their offensive abilities weren't outstanding, their defensive capabilities were absolutely peak.
In this situation, Naruto could confidently refine his Zanpakuto, using various Shikai he hadn't attempted before.
With these various Shikai, he gradually infused chakra into them.
For instance, the Ice Rondel that spewed Rasengan, the Flowing Blade Like Fire that caused frost, or the ice-attribute Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer.
And he gained a deeper understanding of both chakra and spiritual pressure.
