"Wuuuuuuuuu..."
Kaguya lay face down on the ground, clawing incessantly at the golden diadem around her head. But it did not budge, and the unrelenting pain began to cloud her mind!
Naruto's voice sounded directly in her mind at just the right moment. "Grandmother Kaguya, I sincerely want to coexist peacefully with you. So please stop this futile resistance. Let's sit down and talk!"
"Wuuu... liars, you're all liars... I don't believe you. I don't believe anyone. I believe only in myself, and I fight only for myself!"
Kaguya hammered her own head. With her hair disheveled and her face twisted hideously, she looked as though she had truly become a demon!
"Mother...!!" Black Zetsu wailed in despair, but Madara was stuffing him into the gaping mouth of Tobi's Shit Slime. Once he was completely inside, his cries drowned in shit.
Suddenly... Kaguya stopped struggling. She lowered her head, her shoulders hanging limply!
Vmmm!
Azure light enveloped her entire body!
Rumble...!
The earth shook violently, and countless fragments of rock floated into the air!
When she lifted her face again, its hideous expression was gone. In its place was the stillness of a doll!
"The Mantra Diadem is still working. There's absolutely no doubt about that, and she can't evade it. But there's no pain on her face. That can mean only one thing..."
Naruto immediately reached a conclusion. "She's used some means to separate her mind from her body. The old Kaguya could never have done something like this. Is it connected to the Tenseigan...?"
Naruto recalled the Tenseigan's ability to create and control puppets.
"Could she have... turned herself into something like a puppet?"
With so little information available, that was as far as Naruto could deduce!
Yes, this ability was connected to the Tenseigan's puppet-related ocular power!
