The once bustling battlefield suddenly fell silent.

The howling north wind seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere and wisely took a short break.

Katsuki jumped back to the ground, standing on a protruding, sharp-angled blue stone. She watched the situation unfold, displaying a timely expression of surprise and wariness. She listened attentively to the conversation between Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu, honestly acting as a listener and appreciating the climax of a conspiracy that had lasted for nearly sixty years.

Black Zetsu's answer plunged Madara Uchiha into deep confusion. His already strong self-confidence, which had been eroded by Katsuki, was once again battered by the storm, and his seemingly impregnable psychological defenses crumbled.

Meanwhile, Black Zetsu continued to inflict psychological damage on Madara with his words.

"Don't overestimate yourself, Madara. You're not some unique, irreplaceable protagonist. You're just a pathetic wretch I've played around with. I've never been your will. I am... Kaguya's will!"

Words are like knives, piercing straight to the heart.

Kaguya? Kaguya Otsutsuki? Madara Uchiha was speechless. All his strength was draining away, his mind was hazy, and he vaguely sensed an ancient and powerful force awakening within him, reshaping his body and stripping him of control...

So it really was all a joke! Betraying the village, fighting Hashirama to Hashirama death, meticulously plotting underground, rising from the dead to try and create a dreamlike peaceful world... it really was all just a dream!

The dream of a ridiculous clown who has been fooled.

Madara Uchiha's body began to swell. The power of the Ten-Tails was inexplicably stimulated, and the violent power twisted Madara's body. However, after swelling to an extreme point, it stopped and began to correct its form. He had long white hair that cascaded to the ground, two horns on his head, a crimson nine- Tomoe Rinne Sharingan, and wore a wide robe with large sleeves, exuding a cold and aloof temperament.

"Why... is my power so low? Where is my Chakra?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki Katsuki as if it were nothing, her pure white eyes fixed on the Black Zetsu that had merged into her sleeve, and questioned him.

"Mother, there was a slight accident, but it's not important. Chakra is simple. The real trouble is the human in front of us; he will ruin your plans." Black Zetsu's voice came from his sleeve, Kaguya Otsutsuki's usually indifferent eyes looked at Katsuki seriously this time.

However, what she saw surprised her.

"Hmm? Your power... is strange! Who are you? You're not human?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned slightly. She saw a strange power in Katsuki that she had never seen before, apart from Chakra. It was a power that made her feel threatened.

"Hey, hey, how can you say such rude things on our first meeting? I'm a perfectly normal human! I ate the Hito Hito no Mi, so there's no one in this world more pure than me, well, there's no way there is," Katsuki emphasized.

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't react; she was still observing, her Byakugan scrutinizing every corner of Katsuki's body with unbridled ferocity.

"Strange thing... But whatever, no one can stop me from reclaiming Chakra. This is my breeding ground. Whether you're human or not, hand over your Chakra and then obediently die." Kaguya Otsutsuki and then flicked her sleeve.

In an instant, the world changed.

Black rocky peaks, boiling lava lakes, and a strong smell of sulfur wafting into your nostrils with wisps of black smoke.

This was not Genjutsu, but a real transfer to a space filled only with magma and lava.

Having lost his footing, Katsuki began to fall. His orange pupils reflected the dazzling golden-red light of the lava lake, and a wave of heat rushed towards him. He had no doubt that if he really fell into the lava, he would be burned to ashes in no time.

"Ugh! This kind of Space-Time Ninjutsu, which is so hard to defend against, is really a big problem!"

"Ninja Technique, Adamantine Barrier"

With a long sigh, Katsuki pointed his finger, and a rectangular, pale golden barrier appeared out of thin air, right in the path of his fall.

He stepped on the barrier, stomping twice with force. The force was enough to shatter the earth if it were outside, but the barrier only flickered slightly before becoming still. Only then did Katsuki look up at Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was floating in mid-air. She was also looking at him, and their eyes met halfway through their journey, sparks Kakkō.

Kaguya Otsutsuki remained expressionless, showing no emotion whatsoever. She was merely a human, and although she possessed some strange qualities, she was destined to die.

Her hands hung naturally at her sides, and with a thought, her long, pale white hair, which was draped over her back, began to move instantly.

Rabbit Hair Needles.

Thousands upon thousands of hairs shot out like sharp thorns, raining down from the sky with a dense, continuous whooshing sound. Centered on the barrier beneath Katsuki's feet, they formed an extremely large attack range, clearly not intending to give Katsuki any room to dodge.

"Ding ding ding!"

The crisp sound was quite pleasant to the ear, but Kaguya Otsutsuki was clearly not interested in this kind of music. On the contrary, there was only a hint of anger in her eyes. She was furious that this mere human was mocking her instead of obediently surrendering.

The long, pale hair hitting Katsuki was like poking a hot plate with a toothpick; it didn't even scratch an itch.

Katsuki's expression was also somewhat strange. Looking at Kaguya Otsutsuki, he secretly speculated that this 'Rabbit Goddess' probably didn't have enough combat experience. To put it bluntly, she was just a novice. She probably only relied on overwhelming power to sweep away the battlefield one-sidedly in the past. Apart from being defeated by her two sons, she probably had never fought against enemies of similar strength.

He refused to believe that Black Zetsu hadn't told Kaguya about his battle with Madara. The flying hair looked impressive, but it was clearly useless against Katsuki, yet he still used it and got angry because it didn't produce any results.

While Katsuki was pondering, Kaguya Otsutsuki was too lazy to think deeply. Even if she blocked the Rabbit Hair Needles, a human was still a human. It was not surprising that such a weak creature would occasionally produce one or two freaks, although this freak was even stranger than usual.

Her choice was to continue the attack.

However, the ineffectiveness of the Rabbit Hair Needles made her realize that weaker attack methods would hardly be able to kill this human. After thinking it over, she decided to use stronger power to crush this damned insect.

"All-Killing Ash Bones."

Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her hand, and a piece of bone, as thin as rotten wood, emerged from her palm. A heavy aura of death swirled around the ashes, clearly indicating that it was no good thing.

"Celestial Technique, Twin Dragon Flash"

Before Kaguya Otsutsuki and ashes from her palm, Katsuki raised her hand, and two dark red Lightning Dragon surged into the sky, appearing before Kaguya Otsutsuki in the blink of an eye. (To be continued)
