"Who are you, and what is your purpose in Iwagakure? Why did you attack Iwagakure?" The Third Tsuchikage flew in front of Kaguya and asked in a deep voice.
"You ask so many questions, how can I answer all at once?" Kaguya sighed and wagged her index finger. "Can you ask them one at a time?"
At this moment, the girl behind the Third Tsuchikage also caught up, panting heavily, her chest rising and falling.
"You, aren't you..." Kurotsuchi looked at Kaguya, her eyes widening as if she remembered something. "Aren't you that girl from a few years ago?"
"Oh, it's Kurotsuchi," Kaguya smiled and waved at her. "I didn't expect you to remember me."
"Who is she?" The Third Tsuchikage turned to Kurotsuchi and asked.
"Old man, I told you a long time ago, you should retire already. You even forgot what I told you before?" Kurotsuchi said, exasperated, holding her forehead. "Is this the early stage of senility?"
"Shut up, you brat!" the Third Tsuchikage said angrily. "Hurry and tell me, who is she?"
"She's the one who took Deidara away. I heard she's from some organization called Akatsuki," Kurotsuchi said, folding her arms and holding her chin.
"So it's you," the Third Tsuchikage said deeply. "I didn't expect Akatsuki to target this place."
"Aren't you going to ask how Deidara is now?" Kaguya asked curiously.
"Don't mention that brat to me," the Third Tsuchikage scoffed disdainfully. "That punk, he can die for all I care."
"That's not what your heart says. Who was it that was constantly trying to get information about him?" Kurotsuchi mercilessly exposed him.
"Shut up! I was just... I was just concerned for the village!" the Third Tsuchikage retorted loudly.
"Is that so?" Kurotsuchi didn't mind the Third Tsuchikage's temper, instead watching him like a spectator.
The Third Tsuchikage snorted coldly, turning back to Kaguya. "Since you've come to the Land of Earth, don't think you can leave. Capture her, interrogate her for the whereabouts of her comrades and the Four-Tails."
"Hey, old man, it's just the two of us here. Who are you asking to capture her? Surely not me?" Kurotsuchi couldn't help but retort, arms folded.
"Hmph." The Third Tsuchikage snorted coldly. "Then I'll do it myself. Little girl, I advise you to surrender. You won't be able to escape."
"Who said I was trying to escape?" Kaguya raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on her face.
"Arrogant!" The Third Tsuchikage shouted, forming seals with his hands.
"Earth Style: Added-Weight Rock Technique!"
Kaguya suddenly felt her body grow heavy, a massive force pressing down on her, causing her to descend from the sky.
"Earth Style: Moving Earth Core!"
The ground shook violently, and a massive rock pillar rose from beneath Kaguya, lifting her into the air.
"Earth Style: Fist Rock Technique!"
The Third Tsuchikage flashed above Kaguya, fiercely punching down. With the rock pillar below and the Third Tsuchikage above, Kaguya was like the filling of a sandwich.
"Boom!" The rocks shattered, and dust filled the air.
As expected of the Third Tsuchikage, in just a few seconds, he executed three ninjutsu techniques consecutively, forming a seamless combo that left no room for evasion.
"Hey, old man, take it easy. What if you kill her? How are we going to extract information?" Kurotsuchi retorted from a distance.
"She won't die so easily; this is just a probe." The Third Tsuchikage's eyes narrowed as he spoke in a deep voice.
Sure enough, a figure shot out from the thick smoke like an arrow, charging at the Third Tsuchikage.
The Third Tsuchikage snorted coldly and formed a hand seal.
"Earth Style: Ultra-Added Weight Rock Technique."
The figure's body suddenly sank, and its speed slowed down. The Third Tsuchikage had already rushed over, delivering a punch that sent the figure flying.
"You're still too green," the Third Tsuchikage scoffed, then clutched his waist dramatically, crying out loudly, "Oh, my waist!"
"Is that so?"
A voice suddenly sounded in the Third Tsuchikage's ear. His pupils shrank as he tried to turn around, but a snow-white hand was already pressed against his back.
"Shinra Tensei."
With a dull thud, the Third Tsuchikage was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground. It turned out that the figure he had struck earlier was Kaguya's shadow clone.
Kaguya walked slowly to the Third Tsuchikage, arms crossed, looking down at him with her chin resting on her hand. "You can use gravity techniques, and so can I. But it's time to give this move a name; it always feels awkward without one. Forget it, I'll just call it Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in."
"You talk too much, little girl."
The Third Tsuchikage at Kaguya's feet gradually turned into a lump of mud, while the real Third Tsuchikage appeared in the distance, floating in the air, his robes fluttering.
"Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu."
A mass of white energy formed in the Third Tsuchikage's hands, shaping into a cone, aiming at Kaguya. A white beam of light burst forth.
The power of the beam was undeniable; anything in its path was disintegrated into molecular particles.
Suddenly, the Third Tsuchikage's expression changed, and he turned around.
"Here!"
At some point, Kaguya had appeared behind him, with the distant Kaguya being just another shadow clone. Perhaps having used the same trick before, the Third Tsuchikage was already on guard and saw through it this time.
Seeing the beam shooting toward her, Kaguya knew her clone had been seen through. Without hesitation, she formed hand seals, releasing a massive amount of chakra. The blue chakra flared around her like flames, and black tomoe appeared on her clothes, emitting a powerful aura.
"This is..." The Third Tsuchikage was shocked; he had never seen such a technique before.
Kaguya extended her snow-white arm, aiming at the Third Tsuchikage. Black truth-seeking balls swirled around her hand, creating a massive storm that met the Third Tsuchikage's Particle Style head-on.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion."
