It dyed the entire sky red!
Yet,
to Naruto,
the move was little more than a bluff.
He
hurled the Great Spiraling Ring into the sky.
Whoom!
Boom!
The Great Spiraling Ring exploded high overhead,
shredding the flames that filled the sky
with a violent gale.
Fire and wind tore each other apart,
but the Truth-Seeking Orb did not vanish.
It broke through both
and struck the Zero-Tails squarely.

Now
she was not only drained of Chakra—

Then again,
Kaguya had never had much stamina.
Before,
she had relied on immense reserves of Chakra to keep going.
Without Chakra,
she could hardly walk.
She could not even keep herself warm!

"Ōtsutsuki..."
Kaguya
