It shot toward the Black Coffin.
The moment it struck,
the Black Coffin's surface
filled with countless white cracks.
Zetsu had guessed right.
Under an attack this terrifying,
the Black Coffin
lasted only two seconds
before it shattered completely.
As the Black Coffin broke apart,
Aogetsu Hyuga's standing figure
came into view.
Aogetsu Hyuga looked utterly calm.
He took his hand from his pocket without hurry
and, facing the attack,
raised his arm straight out.
At the same time,
one of Aogetsu Hyuga's eyes
became Kaguya Otsutsuki's Rinne Sharingan.
To Zetsu,

forming a high-speed barrier of energy.
The instant the beam met Shinra Tensei,
its relentless advance stopped cold.
The two attacks
had collided!
Kaguya and Zetsu watched intently.
The beam's light twisted violently under the force of the shockwave.
