Suddenly, a dazzling light burst from Kaguya's chest, emanating from the kunai in her possession, which her clothes couldn't conceal.
Startled, Kaguya quickly retrieved the kunai from her chest. It shimmered with iridescent colors, and strands of white energy swirled around it. Simultaneously, the Dragon Veins chakra within Kaguya seemed to be drawn out, merging with the white chakra.
The light from the kunai grew increasingly intense until it finally exploded into a blinding flash, turning everything around white, forcing Kaguya to close her eyes.
When Kaguya opened her eyes again, she found herself in a strange place. The ground was barren and desolate, riddled with craters and deep gashes, with the smell of smoke and even a hint of blood lingering in the air.
Floating in the air, Kaguya surveyed her surroundings and saw many people around her. They were dressed in different outfits, but one thing was consistent: they all wore forehead protectors with the kanji for "忍" (shinobi).
Kaguya was taken aback. If she remembered correctly, these forehead protectors were only worn during the Fourth Great Ninja War. Could it be that this was the Fourth Great Ninja War?
Could it be that she had returned to her original world? Kaguya was momentarily bewildered.
Just as she was about to ask someone nearby what was happening, she noticed their expressions were blank and terrified, staring up at the sky as if watching something.
At this moment, Kaguya felt someone tugging at her sleeve. She turned to see Black Zetsu loli, holding the cat-eared loli, who was the cat demon Tamaki.
Kaguya was about to ask why Tamaki was there when Black Zetsu loli extended her fair finger and pointed toward the sky. Kaguya followed her finger, and a curse burst from her mouth.
"Holy crap!"
A massive meteor, several kilometers wide and as large as multiple football fields, had appeared in the sky and was rapidly descending, threatening to crush everything below. The friction with the atmosphere had turned it a fiery red.
Isn't this the Tengai Shinsei? Kaguya's clear eyes narrowed as she focused on the gigantic rock descending from the sky.
The appearance of such an object indicated that either Uchiha Madara or Uzumaki Nagato had been resurrected with the Impure World Reincarnation, and they might be on this battlefield. But Kaguya had no time to think further as the meteor was almost upon her.
Feeling irritated at being attacked immediately upon her arrival, she raised her flawless, white arm toward the massive rock in the sky. Her eyes focused as nine black Truth-Seeking Balls emerged from her palm. The black orbs began to spin slowly, then faster and faster, leaving afterimages in the air as they closed the distance between each other.
Ultimately, they fused into a larger Truth-Seeking Ball. Not only that, but the ball's volume suddenly expanded, like a balloon being inflated, growing larger and larger. When it finally stopped, the Truth-Seeking Ball had swollen to more than a hundred times its original size.
Meanwhile, Kaguya's appearance in the sky caught the attention of the people on the ground.
"Who is that person?"
"It looks like a girl."
"Is she out of her mind, going to a place like that?"
"If she wants to get herself killed, there's nothing we can do."
Below, Terumi Mei's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief as she gazed at the graceful figure in the sky. If she wasn't mistaken...
With a swift motion, Terumi Mei propelled herself forward like an arrow, racing towards the Tengai Shinsei's position. She needed to verify it for herself.
"Hey, where are you going, Mizukage?" the nearby Raikage shouted, trying to grab her. Unfortunately, Terumi Mei moved incredibly fast and was gone in the blink of an eye, leaving Raikage empty-handed despite his speed.
Meanwhile, the Truth-Seeking Ball in Kaguya's hand had expanded into a massive sphere, 100 meters in diameter, exuding a terrifying aura.
Suddenly, the black Truth-Seeking Ball in Kaguya's hand shot forward like a bolt of black lightning, meeting the descending meteorite head-on. The two spheres, one large and one small, collided.
This was Kaguya's Truth-Seeking Ball attack.
"Boom!"
At the moment of collision, time seemed to stand still. Then a dazzling light burst forth, its brightness rivaling the sun, as if a second sun had appeared. This was followed by a thunderous explosion, deafening in its intensity, as if the heavens and earth were shattering.
The resulting shockwave from the collision formed visible ripples, spreading out in concentric circles, obliterating everything in their path. Forests, grasslands, and even mountains were leveled, leaving nothing but barren ground. Even the clouds high in the sky were swept away, revealing a clear blue sky as if it had been freshly washed.
The massive meteorite in the sky crumbled and shattered under the force of the Truth-Seeking Ball, breaking into huge fragments that scattered like blossoms falling to the ground. Smoke billowed, fires blazed, and a huge mushroom cloud formed, filling the sky with dust and debris.
The people below were stunned by the scene before them. They had been engulfed in despair, believing their deaths were imminent, as such a force seemed insurmountable.
Only now did they realize there was not one meteorite but two, both over a hundred meters in diameter.
Who would have thought that, against all odds, the two enormous meteorites would be shattered? It was simply unbelievable.
Even more astonishing was that their savior was a girl.
Who is this girl?
Gazing at the sky's magnificent fireworks-like explosion, Kaguya brushed off imaginary dust from her hands, nodding in satisfaction. Since absorbing the Dragon Veins, her powers had grown by leaps and bounds, allowing her to use the Truth-Seeking Balls freely without entering Tenseigan Chakra Mode.
Suddenly, Kaguya sensed something and turned to look behind her, only to find her face covered by two soft objects as soon as she turned.
