Light, Light as Paper, Fall of Dust Release
Kaguya's powerful performance in the original timeline was predicated on her taking over the body of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Uchiha Madara, and activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi, absorbing the chakra of all living beings in the Shinobi World.
Her theoretical peak was before she gave birth to the Hagoromo Brothers.
When you eat the Chakra Fruit, the power is not divided.
Of course, she's just a pure numerical monster; based on her battles with Naruto and the others, it's clear she has virtually no combat intelligence.
The act of launching Isshiki sneak attack was less a premeditated act and more like a rabbit biting when cornered.
There was no Ten-Tails, no God Tree to provide chakra, and not even Black Zetsu.
As the nominal progenitor of chakra, Kaguya Otsutsuki's current chakra is still inferior to Kagami Uchiha's, despite the vast difference in combat experience.
Kaguya Otsutsuki is much easier to deal with than Isshiki.
Faced with her Eight Gates skills, Kagami Uchiha only used the simple and unadorned Severance Release·Black Slash.
It wasn't that Kagami Uchiha looked down on Kaguya...
Well, Kagami Uchiha does look down on Kaguya a bit.
With her current chakra and various abilities, if they were all used by someone like Uchiha Madara, even Kagami would have to be careful.
The spirit flickered past the All-Killing Ash Bones.
Kagami Uchiha chuckled lightly, "As expected, you're not suited to be a final boss."
He stretched out one hand, his palm displaying a black cross shape.
Kaguya's pupils dilated suddenly, her usually cold face filled with fear.
"Ōtsutsuki Isshiki!!"
She would never forget that these were Isshiki's eyes!
Whoosh!
In the moment she lost her focus, a pure black spear pierced her chest, freezing her in place.
"Really..."
"It's one thing to have numerous mistakes in skill combos, but to be distracted during battle is another."
"It's been hard for Black Zetsu to have gone through a thousand years of painstaking planning for you."
"Isshiki... you..."
Kaguya's voice trembled slightly, explaining her eagerness to unleash Infinite Tsukuyomi.
On one hand, it was to guard against the Main Family who would come to hold them accountable, and on the other hand, it was because they were afraid that Isshiki was still alive and would be found and killed.
Now, her fears have come true.
Isshiki really came to find her!
Whoosh!
Another black spear pierced through Kaguya Otsutsuki misalignment.
Jing's tone was somewhat impatient.
"Don't put on that Nine-Tails act. Do you think it's Isshiki's taken over my body?"
"You mere Ōtsutsuki dare to covet my body!"
"I've already told you."
"I am Kagami Uchiha, the sole ruler of the Shinobi World!"
"I will annihilate Ōtsutsuki from beyond the heavens..."
"You are, to some extent, an ancestor of the Uchiha. Just stay here and wait quietly. We'll deal with you when the time comes."
Call out--
Four black spears appeared out of Kaguya Otsutsuki.
The tip of the spear ignited with a bright red flame.
Kaguya Otsutsuki struggled, but to no avail, feeling her consciousness slowly sinking into the deep sea.
Kagami Uchiha formed hand seals and let out a cold shout.
'Suppression Prison·Six Staff Flame Prison'!
After the seal was completed, Kagami Uchiha's spirit became much weaker.
He took a deep breath and smiled slightly.
Uchiha Madara, I've gone to such lengths for you, so don't let me down...

Ōnoki.
Ōnoki of Both Scales.
His body, now only half its length, lay limp in the pit, panting heavily.
After several days of intense fighting, and just now being hit squarely by the Hamura Stone Statue, he simply didn't have the strength to get up.
A figure stood in front of him, blocking out the light.
He struggled to open his eyes and gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"It's one thing to not be able to die in Iwagakure, but you can't even die in the Shinobi World...?"
Nagato stared at him coldly.
Aren't you going to ask me why I want to kill you?
Ōnoki shook his head.
"The war Three Great Nations that killed your parents, and the siege that led to the destruction of the Uzumaki Country."
"It's perfectly reasonable for you to want to kill me."
Will you regret it?
Nagato's voice was deep. "It is you power-hungry fools who caused one Shinobi World war after another, resulting in countless tragedies."
Ōnoki shook his head again.
"In your eyes, I am an enemy."
"But I have no regrets as the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure."
"I have no reason to care about your pain; all I care about is Iwagakure."
"Where there is victory, there will be defeat."
"Where there is happiness, there is also someone who suffers pain."
Ōnoki struggled to sit up, grinned, and said, "I, too, am a stubborn rock that has been constantly honed and polished to this day through suffering!"
"I am the successor to my predecessor, the Third Hokage Tsuchikage Ōnoki!"
Don't underestimate me!
Light burst forth from Ōnoki's thin body.
The last one...
Dust Release.
——
Above the moon, a point of extreme white light shone, visible even in the distant Shinobi World.
Light as paper.
Scattered without a trace.
The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, brilliant yet fleeting.
Nagato's figure appeared, completely unharmed.
It's not just because the Rinnegan has the ability to absorb Ninjutsu, but more importantly...
The majority of the power of this final Dust Release was applied to Ōnoki himself.
Seeing Kinkaku and Ginkaku turned into puppets, Ōnoki would rather be shattered to pieces than become such a pathetic thing.
The final match of the Shinobi World Martial Performance.
The first person to die.
The Third Hokage Tsuchikage, Ōnoki.
Nagato remained expressionless, turning his head to look at the location of Killer B, the Eight-Tails, in the distance.
He wanted to continue what he hadn't finished.
Nagato had already realized that there was no need to hide his intentions anymore.
Kagami Uchiha has many honorific titles and nicknames, one of which is 'the Eye That Sees Through the Future'.
Such immense strength, and an impeccable will.
That man couldn't possibly be unaware of what he wanted to do.
Trying to cover it up will only make you a laughing stock.
Kagami Uchiha will not be afraid of the appearance of the Ten-Tails.
Even...
He did not attack the Land of Rain to seize the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, because he was looking forward to the birth of the Ten-Tails!
——

The Shinobi World.
A corner of Konoha.
Two figures appeared on a large tree, their entrance quite bizarre.
It was Zetsu and Obito.
"Black Zetsu, what's wrong?"
Although they are said to be two people, they are actually three consciousnesses.
White Zetsu noticed that Black Zetsu's condition was a bit off and asked him about it out of concern.
Black Zetsu ignored him, looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
He didn't know what had happened there, but an uneasy feeling lingered in his mind.
Mother...
How are you...
Once he made up his mind, he said, "This is a good opportunity."
"In the current Shinobi World, Obito, you are the only one with the Mangekyo. This is the best time to take action!"
"We must seize this opportunity to take the Tailed Beasts!"
"You want me to steal the Nine-Tails from Minato Namikaze's body?"
Obito was confident, but not confident enough to operate a Flying Thunder God Technique user.
If Nine-Tails were still inside Kushina's body, they would still cling to a sliver of hope.
However, after transferring the Jinchuriki, they had already decided to use the Nine-Tails Chakra within Kinkaku and Ginkaku's bodies.
However, what's rather upsetting is...
Before they could even begin to devise the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, Kinkaku and Ginkaku were summoned by Tobirama.
Although Nagato ultimately Nagato... their original plan was to take control of the final step in reviving the Ten-Tails.
The Akatsuki is very complex.
There were fewer than ten people, but they were from several different factions.
Zetsu and Obito are from the same group.
Going a little deeper, Black Zetsu himself is another group.
As the plan to collect the Tailed Beasts progresses, everyone's goals change.
Nagato's faction ruled by intimidation, Obito Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Black Zetsu is simple: save his mother.
"Let's leave the Nine-Tails for now."
"However, there are several Tailed Beasts there now."
