Boom-!

Kaguya Otsutsuki appeared in the air through [Yomotsu Hirasaka], but her body seemed to be affected by Supergravity, and she fell heavily to the ground uncontrollably, creating a deep circular crater in the vast yellow sand.

Her chin was split open, her lumbar vertebrae were completely shattered, and her sternum was broken and collapsed, causing her chest to cave in completely, clinging tightly to her ribs.

Kaguya lay on her back in the sandpit, her eyes wide open, staring blankly at the azure desert sky, experiencing a pain she had never felt before.

Honestly, even when she followed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to conquer the Universe, fought Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and was even besieged by Hagoromo and the Hamura brothers, she had never suffered such a serious injury.

Just now, the mighty Rabbit Goddess Kaguya Otsutsuki was knocked unconscious by a knee strike.

That's terrifying!

The Ōtsutsuki Clan should be elegant, fighting their enemies with all sorts of strange abilities and divine techniques, overwhelming them with endless waves of Chakra.

Even Kinshiki Otsutsuki, who is known for his melee combat skills, mostly creates Chakra Weapon and throws them to kill enemies.

Kinshiki Otsutsuki only engages in hand-to-hand combat with enemies when covering Momoshiki Otsutsuki's escape or holding off the enemy to create an opportunity for Momoshiki Otsutsuki to deliver a fatal blow.

In short, it's time to fight tooth and nail.

The entire Ōtsutsuki Clan is not good at close combat, so when Kaguya Otsutsuki encountered the World's Strongest, she was completely powerless to fight back and was beaten the whole time.

In just two rounds, she was knocked unconscious by Shazo. If she hadn't activated [Yomotsu Hirasaka] in time, she would have been captured by him.

As she traversed the space, Kaguya Otsutsuki truly felt fear.

She felt as if she were a tall, graceful moose, while Shazo was a greedy and ferocious tiger. Despite being much stronger than him, she was the one who would be hunted down.

We absolutely mustn't go to the Supergravity Space; she might not be able to open [Yomotsu Hirasaka] in time next time.

Boom-!

With another deafening crash, Shazo caught up and, also affected by the residual gravity, slammed heavily into the yellow sand, creating a huge circular crater.

Shazo was even completely buried by the falling yellow sand, but as [Electromagnetic Control] was activated, the yellow sand surged into the sky under the manipulation of Magnet Style.

The world was filled with yellow sand, and the sand was distributed so evenly it was almost frightening.

Shazo endowed each grain of sand with an equal amount of 1 Tesla of magnetic force through [Electromagnetic Control], which maintained an extreme balance between the grains of sand, and any four adjacent grains of sand formed a regular tetrahedron.

In the entire world of yellow sand, only a radius of about 300 meters around Kaguya Otsutsuki was free of sand, forming a clear and well-defined area.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's face was grim. Due to the interference of [Electromagnetic Control], even with her three types of Dōjutsu, she was unable to find Shazo behind the yellow sand.

She realized she was in a completely passive position, so without hesitation, she swung her fist and unleashed the [Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack].

This time, the fist phantom was different from before. There was only one huge fist shadow, which alone formed an overwhelming fist pressure attack, carrying an unparalleled power that destroyed all the sand particles it encountered along the way, and forcibly carved out a clear and huge passage.

Discovering that Shazo was not in the passage, Kaguya Otsutsuki was not disappointed. Instead, she unleashed another punch, [Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack], clearing another passage.

Then Kaguya's attack stopped because she discovered that the first passage had been filled with yellow sand again, once again blocking her Byakugan and Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan.

Yes, in this world of yellow sand, there are no Rock; the ground is just endless yellow sand, with an infinite thickness.

If Madara Uchiha were here, he would smile contemptuously, then use the [Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal] to steal Shazo's Chakra, thereby destroying this impromptu trick that Jonin.

However, Kaguya Otsutsuki could not do it. The amount of Chakra she possessed was too great, and without the help of the God Tree, she was unable to absorb the meager Chakra from the yellow sand.

Unfortunately, this space within the Amenominaka is the only space where she cannot borrow the power of the God Tree.

Shazo had already noticed Kaguya's fatal weakness in their previous two encounters, which is why he took the opportunity to test her in the Yellow Sand World.

He shook his head and sighed, "No wonder the Sage of Six Paths, with his unparalleled foresight, was willing to risk the fates of the Destiny Twins to seal Kaguya within Amenominaka."

"The alternate dimension created by Kaguya Otsutsuki's strongest technique turned out to be the place where her own weaknesses were most exposed."

"That's what happens when you're in the darkest place."

Shazo doesn't consider himself clever, because he discovered this weakness based on his understanding of the plot.

The Sage of Six Paths, who was hidden in the Pure Land, had never been imprisoned in the Amenominaka before. How did he learn that his mother had this fatal weakness?

That's terrifying to think about.

"Eek--" Shazo shuddered. "I feel like I underestimated the Sage of Sage of Six Paths ' intellect and the depths of his morality in the past."

"Damn it, I might have to face this person directly later, I'm a little nervous."

"No, we must deal with Kaguya here and devour her to achieve the Kekkei Mōra Limit."

Shazo encouraged himself. "The Sage of Six Paths was very wary of his mother, and in the end, he refused to face her directly. I don't believe it was out of guilt; it can only be that he wasn't confident in ensuring his own safety."

"Yes, as long as I become Kekkei Mōra, I can make him obediently cower in the Pure Land!"

"Absolutely! No problem!"

"Huh?" Shazo suddenly said in surprise, "Kaguya Otsutsuki ran away again?"

"Ha, she ran away so quickly. She probably won't be going back to this desert world. She only has three worlds left to escape from."

"Hehe, run! Soon you'll have nowhere to run, Kaguya!"

Shazo grew increasingly anxious and had to take several deep breaths to calm himself before opening the black portal and tracking down Kaguya Otsutsuki.

As he and Kaguya Otsutsuki departed, the yellow sand began to fall softly, and the sand world gradually returned to its original state, as if nothing had changed.

But its owner probably won't be back for a long time, or maybe never.

Inside the acid space, Shazo used Water Release Chakra to invade and seize control of part of the acid, and took the opportunity to use Ninjutsu.

[Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet] 2

Under Shazo's control, two giant dragons made of acid were formed. They merged with Kaguya Otsutsuki and the acid world, creating a vast ocean of acid waves and a torrential downpour of acid that chased after Kaguya, attempting to devour her.

The two giant dragons frolicked through the raging waves and torrential rain, their bodies' acidic fluids being further transformed by Shazo, displaying a magnificent and noble deep purple hue.

This further acid might not be enough to dissolve Kaguya Otsutsuki, but it would definitely be able to dissolve her Seamless Heavenly Garment made of Chakra, and also her hair, which was twice her height.

If she were doused with acid, lost her hair and clothes, and looked like a shabby, featherless chicken in front of Shazo, Kaguya Otsutsuki would rather die!

So she abandoned this world once again and entered the lava world.

However, Kaguya Otsutsuki left in such a hurry that she didn't notice the corner of her clothes that had been corroded by the acid, and hidden within the charred corrosion lines was a Flying Thunder God symbol.

After Kaguya left the acid world, Shazo did not immediately open the black portal. Instead, he floated on the surface of the acid sea, closing his eyes to sense his Flying Thunder God mark.

A few seconds later, Shazo opened his eyes in surprise. He had actually sensed the Flying Thunder God Mark across a world, which meant that the spatial barriers between the six worlds in the Amenominaka Space were not very strong.

If you can sense it, you can reach it!

Shazo held his fingers together in front of his eyes and activated his most familiar Space-Time Ninjutsu.

[Flying Thunder God Technique]

The next instant, as a cloud of white smoke dissipated, Shazo grabbed the hem of a garment, and looked up to meet the gaze of Kaguya Otsutsuki, who turned her head in shock.

Shazo looked at those eyes, wet with fear, and gave a mocking smile, "Finally caught you."

Now, Shazo fully understands why Kaguya Otsutsuki was so weak: her use of Chakra was still at the most primitive level of bloodline application.

She can only rely on the Three Great Dōjutsu and the Shikotsumyaku) to manipulate Chakra in a primitive way, using the instincts of her Chakra organs to launch attacks and defenses.

Although each ability looks incredibly cool and powerful, there is little room for adjustment, and it is severely lacking in the ability to deal with complex attack methods.

Although Kaguya Otsutsuki's strength far surpassed that of Shazo, she was ultimately only one step away from achieving Kekkei Mōra Limit, possessing several Kekkei Mōra abilities.

When Shazo is no longer a weakling who can be easily crushed, the value of Taijutsu and Ninjutsu becomes apparent.

It wasn't that Shazo defeated Kaguya Otsutsuki, but rather that the research and development of Ninjutsu by Ninja over a thousand years led to the defeat of the former Rabbit Goddess.

If it weren't for the fact that the Three Great Dōjutsu completely counter Genjutsu, Shazo felt he could have ended the battle in the desert world, instead of dragging it out for so long.

Completely terrified, Kaguya Otsutsuki lost her mind. Ignoring the fact that her Chakra was not yet stable, she released the Ten-Tails 'Chakra.

Shazo instantly recalled the plot from his memories, but couldn't connect it to how Kaguya would use the Ten-Tails 'Chakra. He couldn't help but tense up and become on guard, wary of the power Kaguya was about to unleash.

To everyone's surprise, Kaguya Otsutsuki opened her mouth and let out a roar that sounded like the cry of a dragon and the howl of a tiger.

"Roar!!"

With a deafening roar, the Ten-Tails 'Chakra and Kaguya's Chakra mingled together, and like the Uchiha Clan unleashing their Susanoo, a Chakra monster rose from the ground.

The giant monster was over 300 meters tall, standing like a mountain on the lava plain.

However, the monster's appearance is hard to describe. Its outline is messy and seems to have the characteristics of Nine Tailed Beasts at the same time, with various features haphazardly mixed together.

The distinguishing feature that allowed Shazo to identify it was the monster's head, which had a pair of rabbit-ear-like horns on top, exactly the same as Kaguya Otsutsuki's horns.

Shazo realized that this was Kaguya Otsutsuki's Tailed Beast Transformation, and a rather primitive Tailed Beast Transformation at that!

Kaguya Otsutsuki is the incarnation of the God Tree, and the God Tree is the true form of the Ten-Tails. Therefore, this enormous pure Chakra Body Integration in front of us is, in a sense, Kaguya's most original true form.

Shazo shook his head and sighed, "This level of Tailed Beast Transformation is such a waste of precious Chakra."

If Jinchuriki, the Jinchuriki of Ninja, can unleash combat power far exceeding that of the Tailed Beast after Tailed Beast Transformation, then Kaguya Otsutsuki's Tailed Beast Transformation was a pure waste of Chakra.

Not only is its combat power far inferior to that of the Ten-Tails fighting alone, but it also amplifies Kaguya's weaknesses of not knowing jutsu and not being good at Taijutsu.

However, the Tailed Beast Transformation wasn't entirely without its advantages. Kaguya used it to break free from Shazo's grasp and gained even stronger defensive capabilities, making it much harder for Shazo to get close to her.

Kaguya her Tailed Beast Transformation, opened her crimson eyes, glaring fiercely at Shazo, and opened her terrifying maw, revealing sharp fangs.

Fueled by the immense fear instilled by Shazo, and the rage that arose from that fear, Kaguya Otsutsuki's Chakra began to run rampant, causing the monster's body to swell even further.

A terrifying killing intent permeated the air, sending chills down Shazo's spine.

The beast's roar grew louder and louder, and black and white Chakra gathered in its mouth, forming a huge, pitch-black sphere.

On the sphere centered around Yin-Yang Release, the Chakra of the seven natures—fire, wind, earth, water, lightning, yin, and yang—began to converge, and the sphere expanded without limit.

In just a few breaths, the diameter of the sphere expanded to over a kilometer, and the ever-increasing pressure intensified the sense of despair.

[Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb].

Shazo knew that it was Kaguya Otsutsuki's trump card, but he had already discovered that the black sphere that formed the core of the Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb was the original Tailed Beast Bomb.

Moreover, the Tailed Beast Bomb's power was greatly enhanced because the Yin-Yang ratio of 2:8 was not yet determined.

But Truth-Seeking Orb is still Truth-Seeking Orb. Once Yin-Yang Unity form a complete shape, its power will far exceed that of the Nine-Tails ' Tailed Beast Bomb.

The appearance of the [Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb] proves that Kaguya Otsutsuki is enraged and no longer cares about the safety of Amenominaka, but prioritizes killing Shazo.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb are not an offensive technique, but rather a creation ability that creates the Amenominaka space.

If this Truth-Seeking Orb continues to expand, it will completely devour and merge everything in the lava world.

When the Truth-Seeking Orb expands to the edge of the lava world, it will instantly reverse, turning from destruction to creation. The change will happen in an instant, and a completely New World will be born, replacing the original lava world.

Shazo scratched his cheek and said with relief, "How Luck! Such a huge amount of Chakra and such great creative power have not been summarized and organized into a creation divine technique."

Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to solve it.
