Otsutsuki Kaguya glanced at the Bone Blade in her chest, then swept her sleeve and sent Kimimaro flying.
The All-Killing Ash Bones on the Bone Blade had already taken effect on Kaguya.
Black corruption spread from the wound, but Kaguya's power ultimately confined it to her chest.
That area rapidly withered and decayed, then turned to ash and scattered into the air.
A hole pierced straight through Kaguya's chest.
Yet under Kaguya's power, it quickly wriggled and healed.
"Not bad Bloodline Power, Kimimaro."
"But that little strength isn't enough to kill me."
Natsuki frowned. How did Kaguya know Kimimaro?
Kaguya turned to Natsuki. "Natsuki, I don't know where you came from..."
"But this place..."
"This land is an important nursery of mine. Outsiders will not be allowed to lay a hand on it."
Natsuki's thoughts raced. "How do you know me?"
Kaguya placed a hand over her chest. "After my child returned, naturally I learned what he had experienced."
Hiss...
Memory Reading!
Natsuki suddenly understood. No wonder Black Zetsu had spoken of returning to his mother's embrace. So that was what he meant.
Tsk, Black Zetsu truly was the purest child, unwavering from beginning to end, working wholeheartedly to save his mother.
"I will no longer let you trample upon my nursery."
"Let us end this battle."
Natsuki's gaze sharpened. Was it coming?
"Merely ending the battle here..."
The Moon Eye at Kaguya's center of the forehead radiated ocular power. Natsuki, Kimimaro, Itachi, Yōya, and Minato—
In an instant, they were transported into a place filled with lava.
Besides Natsuki, everyone else fell straight down.
Kaguya spread her hands, her voice echoing through the Molten World. "Here, I will destroy you all completely!"
Natsuki remained composed, while Minato was unruffled as the Nine-Tails Tailed Beast Cloak lit up around him.
