Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Otsutsuki Kinshiki; It Had Been So Long Since He Felt Pain

The lunar surface was a desolate expanse of grayish white.

There was no atmosphere here, no sound—only eternal silence and bone-piercing cold.

When Chiyo and Kaguya stepped out of the spatial rift, the Chakra around them automatically formed a protective layer, shielding them from the effects of the vacuum.
