Momoshiki Otsutsuki possessed an ability called Takami Musubi no Kami!
This ability could absorb chakra and all ninjutsu, then amplify them and fire them back.
Earlier, Momoshiki had absorbed a Rasengan from Naruto Uzumaki's Shadow Clone, and now he amplified that Rasengan and unleashed it.
The crimson chakra sphere above the river valley had already swollen until it blotted out the sky.
Purple arcs of electricity crackled around its surface. Wherever a streak of electricity passed, it scorched the surrounding air into distorted, transparent ripples.
Momoshiki hovered in midair, his robes snapping in the currents stirred up by the energy as he looked down at Shihōin Naraku.
"Die!"
He slammed his palm downward.
The enormous chakra sphere, a full hundred meters in diameter, crashed down with apocalyptic force.
Along its path, the air compressed into solid white sonic cones. Loose stones on the ground were first pulled upward by the suction, then crushed into dust by the shock wave.
Weblike cracks spread across the rock walls throughout the river valley. The water remaining in the riverbed vaporized the instant the chakra sphere approached, sending up a cloud of white steam.
Naraku stood where he was, holding his sword in one hand as he looked up.
His expression did not change in the slightest.
He looked up at the crimson sphere drawing closer and closer, the hem of his Hokage robes pressed tightly against his calves by the wind pressure bearing down from above.
The next moment, the chakra sphere struck.
The instant the sphere touched the ground, all sound vanished.
A point of light first appeared at the center of the river valley, then expanded outward faster than the eye could follow.
Crimson tides of energy surged outward from the sphere's center, each wave carrying heat intense enough to melt
