Transformed into a rabbit-like tailed beast, the silver-haired girl's aura surged dramatically. An intimidating force emanated from her, and the powerful chakra roared outward like a tsunami.
At this moment, her strength was even greater than it had been at the start.
Kaguya was not overly concerned. This was just a last-ditch effort, a struggle before the end. Isn't this how desperate people fight when they are captured?
However, Kaguya remained fully alert. Many people let their guard down when they think they are about to win, only to be defeated in return. There are countless examples of this; at least Uchiha Madara's brother, Uchiha Izuna, is one of them. He thought he was about to win, only to be sent to his death by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, using the Flying Thunder God technique.
One of life's illusions is believing you can win. But people like this often have a major advantage, take risks, and end up losing everything.
The tailed beast before her was enormous, with a slender body and sharp claws. It had a round sphere on its back, resembling a rabbit's tail, though this tail was so large that it almost made up half of its body. Most strikingly, there was a crimson eye on its forehead: the Rinne Sharingan.
Suddenly, the rabbit-shaped tailed beast roared, and the round tail stretched out into a giant arm, striking at Kaguya with lightning speed.
Kaguya stepped back rapidly, her form flickering like a phantom as she dodged the rainstorm of attacks.
But she knew she couldn't keep dodging. Dragging this out would only give the enemy a chance to recover. Additionally, her opponent had the advantage of height while she was on the ground, putting her in a disadvantageous position.
Thinking of this, Kaguya unleashed a burst of purple light, shooting like an arrow into the sky. The wind created by her speed whipped her clothing, offering glimpses of her snow-white skin.
This negated the rabbit-shaped tailed beast's aerial advantage, but before she could launch her attack, the enemy struck again.
A crimson orb began forming at its mouth, growing larger and denser with chakra, the mottled patterns exuding a terrifying aura. This was a Tailed Beast Ball. But this Tailed Beast Ball contained far more chakra than before; compared to this, the Tailed Beast Balls of the Nine Tails or even the Ten Tails were nothing. In terms of both quality and quantity, it was much stronger.
With a dull sound, the Tailed Beast Ball shot out like a cannonball, whistling through the air and hurtling toward Kaguya at lightning speed.
Kaguya was prepared and remained calm. She raised her white arm, palm facing the incoming Tailed Beast Ball. The Truth-Seeking Ball in her palm spun wildly, creating a violent storm in front of her, with faint purple lightning streaking through it like a mighty dragon, charging forward with unstoppable force.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
A brilliant flash of light streaked across the sky, and in a blink, a thunderous explosion boomed on the horizon. Shockwaves rolled out, and gusts surged turbulently, unleashing a hurricane that wreaked havoc in this white space.
Kaguya's robes fluttered, making her appear like a celestial being. She emerged unscathed, waving at the Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, now a tailed beast, before her.
The rabbit-shaped tailed beast's crimson eyes seemed to drip blood, its sharp teeth clenched tightly, nostrils flaring with heat. Its claws flexed and relaxed as if it wanted to tear the infuriating girl before it into pieces.
Kaguya's clear eyes narrowed as she stared at the crimson eye on the rabbit-shaped tailed beast's forehead. Her mind turned quickly as if she had realized something.
Suddenly, Kaguya transformed into a streak of light, charging toward the distant rabbit-shaped tailed beast. A halo of purple light appeared around her, infused with powerful chakra, dramatically enhancing her presence.
Ten arms emerged from the void, attacking Kaguya like a storm. Their speed left only afterimages. However, with the aid of the purple light, Kaguya's strength and speed had significantly increased, moving as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of the tailed beast.
Perhaps sensing the threat, the eye on the rabbit-shaped tailed beast's forehead blinked a few times. Realizing the danger, Kaguya abandoned her attack and retreated rapidly.
Just as Kaguya retreated a short distance, a blinding red beam shot out from the beast's forehead. Fortunately, Kaguya had anticipated this and dodged in time, avoiding the shot. Even so, Kaguya's brows furrowed as she sensed the immense energy contained within.
There was no time to waste; dragging this out would only be harmful. A fleeting cold gleam flashed in Kaguya's clear, crystalline eyes.
Suddenly, the purple glow swirling around Kaguya began to spin, gathering into her hand like a small whirlwind, forming a purple sphere that emitted an eerie light. Her flawless white fingers slightly flexed, and as her palm closed gently, the purple sphere transformed into a long sword reaching skyward.
Holding the purple sword, Kaguya gave a gentle swing with her smooth, ivory arm, and a dazzling blade of light erupted forth, striking the rabbit-shaped tailed beast in the blink of an eye.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
"Ahhhh!"
With a piercing scream, the rabbit-shaped tailed beast was instantly split in two from head to tail. The power of a single strike from the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was so immense that it cleaved the tailed beast form of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki in half.
It's worth noting that while the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion also split the moon in half, the moon itself is merely composed of rock and lacks substantial defense. As seen in the original series, Naruto was able to withstand the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion with his Rasengan, which is almost unbelievable.
The defense of the tailed beast form of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is not something Naruto's Rasengan could compare to, yet it was also split in two, surprising even Kaguya herself. She had only intended to severely wound the tailed beast. Could it be due to the purple light?
Kaguya was puzzled and could not figure it out.
At that moment, a figure fell from the tailed beast, hitting the ground. Kaguya walked over lightly and looked closely to see a figure with silver hair and white pupils—it was Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
She stood up shakily, her once clear eyes now dull and her face expressionless. She lowered her head, seemingly disoriented, mumbling, "I am the progenitor of chakra, how could I be overpowered by these scattered chakras..."
Just then, the white space suddenly began to quake violently, the ground undulating and air currents surging.
On the ground, a shadow suddenly appeared, and Kaguya's heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked up, her pupils contracting.
In the sky, a massive black sphere had appeared at some point, resembling a giant black sun, exuding a terrifying aura. The chakra contained within made Kaguya's heart tremble.
Is this...
A Truth-Seeking Ball
How could there be such a huge Truth-Seeking Ball? It's unbelievable, considering her own Truth-Seeking Ball is only palm-sized. Compared to this, it is like the light of a firefly.
This is Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's ultimate technique, "Truth-Seeking Ball of the End."
Kaguya blinked her beautiful eyes, slightly surprised for a moment. Then, realizing something, she smiled faintly and said, "So what if it's big? You can't use it."
As she finished speaking, Kaguya transformed into a brilliant stream of light, rushing forward. She raised her arm like a flawless white jade, her fingers forming a blade, thrusting toward Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's chest.
