  • Kaguya initially appears to accept this, but immediately launches a sneak attack with Rabbit Hair Needle. Liuxia counters with a repulsive force.
  • Kaguya sees through the deception, noting that Liuxia's bloodline is far too powerful to be a mere descendant—even surpassing that of her sons. She assumes he is an enemy sent to challenge her.
  • Kaguya unleashes Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, her ultimate taijutsu. Liuxia counters with Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, causing massive collateral destruction to the terrain.

  • Liuxia delivers a resounding slap that sends Kaguya flying, shouting at her to "wake the hell up."

Character Developments

  • Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: Paranoid, volatile, and deeply bitter about past betrayal (implied past with Isshiki and her sons). She claims she "can't be fooled" and fights fiercely, believing Liuxia is an enemy.
  • Senju Hashirama: Hesitates and feels conflicted when Kaguya shows sorrow, revealing his emotional ties as her descendant.
  • Tobirama & Madara: Show no hesitation, attacking decisively as warriors.

Significant Themes

  • Deception and paranoia: Neither side trusts the other; Kaguya fakes acceptance before ambushing, and assumes hostility rather than diplomacy.
  • Betrayal and familial conflict: Kaguya's grief over her sons and grandsons choosing to side against her; she demands the chakra (power) they "stole" be returned.
  • Power vs. diplomacy: The chapter highlights the difficulty of peaceful negotiation between overwhelmingly powerful beings who instinctively resort to violence.
  • "[No] martial ethics": The title and Liuxia's complaint emphasize the theme of ambush and underhanded tactics in battle.

Character Interactions

  • Liuxia ↔ Kaguya: Deceptive introduction → mutual attack → escalating violence. Liuxia tries to talk but is forced to fight; ends with him physically slapping her to break her frenzy.

  • Kaguya responds with Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, but Liuxia's enhanced power breaks through her attack after only a brief stalemate.
  • The point-blank explosion blasts Kaguya repeatedly, exposing her vulnerability.
  • In desperation, Kaguya activates her Rinne Sharingan's ultimate spatial technique: Amenominaka.
  • The chapter ends with a massive spatial force sweeping over everyone, violently shifting the surrounding scenery — transporting all present into a different dimension.

2. Character Developments

  • Liuxia: Demonstrates ruthless, no-hesitation combat style. His power is noted to be "near the Six Paths level" while in Tenseigan Chakra Mode, strong enough to overwhelm Kaguya's techniques. He is aggressive and capitalizes on openings immediately.
  • Otsutsuki Kaguya: Displayed as immensely powerful but lacking combat experience — her quick, reactive techniques are overwhelmed by sustained, deliberate assault. She is reduced to a "wretched" state, forced to rely on her hax spatial ability to escape the direct confrontation.
  • The narration explicitly compares her vitality to Six Paths Madara's regeneration (citing Might Guy's Night Guy fight) to emphasize that Kaguya's durability is extraordinary — yet she still struggled against Liuxia's onslaught.

3. Significant Themes

  • Power vs. Skill: The chapter highlights that raw divine power (Kaguya) can be outmatched by strategic, relentless fighting (Liuxia).
  • Invincible Vitality of Six Paths-tier beings: Reinforces that near-Six Paths and Six Paths characters possess nearly unkillable regenerative bodies.
  • The Danger of Hax Abilities: Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan spatial jutsu (Amenominaka) serves as her trump card when conventional combat fails her — a reminder that in this power scale, reality-warping abilities outweigh brute force.

4. Character Interactions

  • The interaction is purely combat-based — Liuxia and Kaguya exchange blows with no dialogue beyond a shouted insult ("You crazy bitch, wake the hell up!").
  • Liuxia dominates the exchange offensively; Kaguya is purely reactive, trying to survive his relentless pressure.
  • The dynamic established: Liuxia is the aggressor, Kaguya is the cornered but still dangerous opponent — ending with her successfully using Amenominaka to reset the battlefield.

Note: The chapter ends with an author's note requesting reader support.

2. Character Developments

  • Madara & Hashirama: Their brief interaction shows a glimmer of trust/mutual reliance, with Hashirama thanking Madara for saving him.

3. Significant Themes

  • Overwhelming power vs. strategy: Kaguya relies on dimensional tricks and raw power, but Liuxia adapts and dominates through sheer speed/strength — the title criticizes her refusal to change her failing strategy.
  • Mercy vs. necessity: Liuxia gives Kaguya multiple chances to surrender, highlighting a theme of restraint even against an enemy.
  • Isolation and paranoia: Kaguya trusts no one, even her own sons, which makes her unable to accept alliance or mercy.

  • Liuxia ↔ Kaguya: One-sided in terms of dialogue; Liuxia tries to reason with her, while Kaguya attacks without listening. The fight escalates until Liuxia physically dominates her, and Kaguya is left shocked and fearful.

  • Intrusion of greater threats: Their personal struggle is interrupted by beings who may be above their level, foreshadowing a larger cosmic danger.
