The obstacles Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had set up failed to hold Shihōin Naraku back for even a second!
But as fast as Naraku was, Kaguya was even faster.
She had manipulated this world of ice and snow to launch an endless barrage of attacks precisely to divide the battlefield and separate Naraku and the other two.
Now that an opportunity had arrived, she naturally would not let it slip away.
After testing them through several exchanges, Kaguya had gained a rough understanding of their strength.
Just as Black Zetsu had said, Naraku's strength even surpassed that of Naruto and Sasuke, whom she had been watching all along.

Even if they could dodge the attacks coming from everywhere above and below, they could not avoid the bone-deep cold.
If the battle here dragged on too long, all three of them could very well
