****************
"Mother, be careful of his spatial ninjutsu."
Black Zetsu cautiously shared information about the Flying Thunder God Technique with Kaguya.
Since Colt came to prominence, he had collected a lot of relevant intelligence to relay to his mother.
Although Colt had not used the Flying Thunder God Technique in the battle just now, that didn't mean he would ignore it.
The Flying Thunder God Technique, a ninjutsu involving space, had surpassed ordinary techniques, making it worthy of Kaguya's solemn attention.
"I'll pay attention," Ōtsutsuki Kaguya nodded lightly.
With just a wave of her hand, the magma on the ground began to riot, and the gurgling sound of flowing magma echoed.
Rumble!
Hundreds of pillars of magma fire soared into the sky, aiming to swallow Colt.
(The Six Dimensions) were Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's exclusive technique, with the ability to integrate nature.
She could control all the natural elements as easily as moving her limbs.
If it were a force formed by ninjutsu, it would not be a threat to someone at the Six Paths level. But this magma was real, and combined with Kaguya's control, it was enough to deal damage at the highest level.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Colt moved effortlessly in mid-air, constantly dodging pillars of fire as they erupted around him. His Rinnegan shimmered with a purple glow.
"Almost..." Colt whispered. Having been in a state of evasion, he suddenly stopped.
Chakra erupted from him, blowing away the magma below.
Colt slowly brought his hands together.
With his movements, the magma formed two large hands that lunged toward Kaguya.
But the control was clumsy.
For the first time, Kaguya's expression shifted.
This was her own exclusive space, where she was like a creator.
Why could he manipulate the forces of nature here?
"It's not enough," Colt muttered, narrowing his eyes.
His right hand moved as if holding a brush, casually leaving a scratch in the void. Magma surged from the ground, aimed at her once again.
"Sure enough, Yakumo's bloodline has a high upper limit," Colt thought. The ability to control the magma came entirely from the Kurama clan's bloodline, using the power of Yin to manipulate reality.
If his artistic skills were better, Colt mused, he could have performed even more intricate actions. Unfortunately, his talent in that area was somewhat lacking.
Kaguya, guided by Black Zetsu, quickly subdued the chaotic magma. Faced with the overwhelming lava rain, she grew impatient and brushed her hands lightly.
In an instant, they found themselves in another space—a world of ice and snow. The transition from scorching heat to extreme cold was complete.
**********
Naruto, previously lost in Kaguya's space, had been sealed inside a thick glacier.
If not for breaking the ice with his Truth-Seeking Orbs, he might still be trapped.
After an initial moment of confusion, Naruto quickly regained his fighting spirit.
He began demolishing the icebergs, searching for a way out and for any sign of Kaguya.
"Colt!" Naruto's eyes lit up as he saw Colt and Kaguya locked in combat.
The two were fighting fiercely, too busy to pay attention to him.
Before he could say anything else, thick ice spikes surged from the glacier, besieging Colt from all directions.
At the same time, black spatial cracks appeared beside Kaguya. Half of her body vanished into the void, and her upper body materialized near Colt. Her hands were ready to strike at him.
Colt didn't dodge, allowing her to clasp his shoulders.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Black Zetsu shared a look of triumph.
As the ancestor of Chakra, Kaguya believed that as long as she touched Colt, she could drain all of his Chakra.
But in the next second, her expression turned to shock.
"What? Why doesn't your Chakra respond to me?"
Colt, seemingly having anticipated this, slowly turned around.
"Did you forget that I keep saying I'm not Hagoromo?"
Colt had been aware of Kaguya's movements and had delayed acting to make her understand the situation.
After all, no one enjoyed being mistaken for someone else.
Seeing Kaguya's silence, Colt continued, "I'm different from your two sons. My purpose isn't to seal you this time."
"So, what do you want?" Black Zetsu interrupted.
"I don't want much," Colt said with a smirk.
He lifted Kaguya's chin, admiring her confused expression.
From this angle, the ancestor of Chakra seemed somewhat innocent.
"You've been sealed on the moon for a thousand years. That must've been hard..."
"You must be lonely. If you promise not to cause trouble, I'll let you live in the ninja world. I promise,"
"Hahah!" Black Zetsu let out a sarcastic laugh.
"You think you're clever, Hagoromo?" He had taken to calling Colt by Hagoromo's name out of frustration.
"You deceived her once a thousand years ago. Do you think you can succeed again?"
Kaguya's eyes grew resolute, and her long white hair shot out tiny silver needles, forcing Colt to retreat.
"There should be only one owner of Chakra in this world," Kaguya declared.
Colt waved his hand, once again manipulating the space.
Countless icicles transformed into roaring ice dragons, lunging at Kaguya.
In his mind, Colt wondered what the Sage of Six Paths had done to make Kaguya so distrustful.
"Mother, this space isn't favorable for us. Let's change to another," Black Zetsu urged.
With another wave of her hand, Kaguya transported them out of the ice world.
Inside, she felt a deep frustration—this was her space, yet Colt could manipulate it freely.
Naruto, left standing in the ice world, stared in disbelief.
It took him a while to come to his senses, and he wailed helplessly, "Don't leave me behind, Colt!"
**********
In the hypergravity space, Kaguya and Colt fell to the ground.
The space twisted due to immense gravitational forces, and even Kaguya couldn't stay airborne for long.
With no other natural forces for Colt to manipulate, Kaguya felt her mood improve.
They engaged in a fierce physical battle, each punch carrying immense weight.
The ground broke apart beneath them, and the sound of their clashes echoed across the space.
Kaguya was astonished—Colt's physical abilities exceeded her expectations.
Despite the gravity, his movements were barely affected, while she herself had slowed down significantly.
