Chapter 207: Absorbing Kaguya

"Mother!" Black Zetsu instantly dropped to the ground, rolling on the ground in a sorry state,

Kaguya's expression did not change, the five fingers of her left hand spread open.

"Tsk!" A bone spike broke through the air, heading straight for Madara Uchiha's throat.

Madara's eyes focused; at this moment Limbo had already recovered again, four Limbo phantoms emerging around him. The foremost phantom flashed out like lightning, blocking the bone spike's trajectory.

"Boom!"

The phantom collided with the bone spike and immediately dissipated.

Madara did not pause in the slightest; three Limbo phantoms followed close behind, their figures rushing toward Kaguya like cannon shells out of a barrel.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound of bone restructuring, Kaguya's severed arm regrew at a speed visible to the naked eye, the newly grown right arm gleaming with a ghastly white luster.

She crossed her hands before her chest, a cold light flashing in her eyes: "Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"

Dense fist shadows instantly appeared in the air, each wrapped in terrifying chakra, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

"Quake Quake Impact!"

Madara shouted violently; three Limbo phantoms instantly flashed to his side, the power of the Gura Gura no Mi surging in the four palms, forming rings of ripples visible to the naked eye.

"Boom!"

Two heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating forces collided in midair. Air waves swept out, space itself trembling. Mountains cracked, huge rifts spreading outward like spider webs.

The surrounding mountain peaks were lifted by this terrifying shockwave, turning into countless rubble flying into the sky.

"Damn it!"

Black Zetsu's golden pupils stared dead at Madara Uchiha, observing every detail.

"Right now!" Black Zetsu let out a low roar, controlling Kaguya's severed arm to suddenly clench.

With a "puff" sound, a sharp bone spike had just shot out from the palm, passing through the space rift.

At this moment, a streak of golden light swept in from the side. Naruto's figure appeared behind Black Zetsu like lightning, his right hand clamping onto the back of his neck like iron pincers.

"What?" Black Zetsu's pupils shrank sharply, his body instinctively wanting to turn into liquid to escape.

One-Tail's chakra instantly wrapped around him, Magnet Release's power forming an invisible cage.

"You bastard!" Black Zetsu struggled violently, but that viscous black substance could not break through the chakra blockade.

"You bastard, don't think you can pull any more tricks!" A trace of cold light flashed in Naruto's eyes.

In midair, Madara's pupils suddenly contracted. Observation Haki frantically warned him; the hair on his back instantly stood on end: "Damn it!"

A pitch-black space rift silently tore open behind him, All-Killing Ash Bones breaking through the air. And a Limbo phantom flashed like lightning to block behind Madara.

With a "puff" sound, the bone spike pierced through the phantom's body, and Limbo immediately dissipated.

However, just this moment of distraction let a fatal flaw appear in Madara's defense.

"Boom!"

Dense fist shadows broke through the defense line, heavily bombarding Madara's chest; the huge impact force directly sent him flying, his whole body crashing through a distant mountain wall like a cannon shell.

"Puff!"

Madara's left half-body along with his skull turned into blood mist under this terrifying power; his shattered body heavily smashed onto the ground, kicking up dust all over the sky.

"Madara!" Naruto abruptly turned his head, looking at that blasted figure, his hands rapidly forming hand seals.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

"Bang bang bang!" Amidst rising white smoke, hundreds of golden figures instantly appeared, filling the entire space. All shadow clones shouted simultaneously, the orange chakra wrapped around their bodies violently fluctuating.

"All together!"

The shadow clones rushed out simultaneously, pouncing toward Kaguya like a meteor shower.

Kaguya expressionlessly raised both hands; ghastly white bone spikes gushed from her palms, and amid "puff puff puff" sounds, the front-row shadow clones were instantly pierced through, dissipating into white smoke.

At this moment, Kaguya's ever-calm face suddenly showed a ripple; she felt the chakra inside her body begin to violently fluctuate.

Byakugan rapidly activated, her gaze penetrating layer upon layer of space, only to see in the distance Naruto with several shadow clones hovering in midair, the chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts crazily condensing in his palm.

"Hah!" Naruto roared in anger, nine Rasenshuriken breaking through the air.

Kaguya had not yet had time to react; nine streaks of light had already broken through the air, heading straight for her vitals.

"Boom!"

Amid the huge explosion sound, nine attributes of chakra collided in midair. Firelight, lightning, wind blades... different attributes of chakra intertwined in midair, forming a giant energy storm.

Air waves swept out, rubble flew, the entire sky dyed into brilliant variegated colors by this terrifying explosion.

"Crack! Crack!"

The earth continuously cracked under this power; huge rifts spread outward. Amidst the smoke and dust, the explosion's aftershocks still continued.

"Madara!" Naruto turned his head to look toward the direction Madara Uchiha fell, anxiety in his voice, "Can you still fight?"

Bang! From the rubble pile, a pale hand suddenly shot out, smashing spider-web-like cracks into the ground.

Madara Uchiha slowly stood up; shattered flesh and blood reorganized at a speed visible to the naked eye, newly grown skin glowing with a faint luster: "Damn it, worthy of the chakra progenitor."

Whether Haki or Six Paths Power, under those dense fist shadows they were pierced through like paper.

"If we want to seal Kaguya, it requires Sasuke and my combined effort!" Naruto clenched both hands into fists, "Can you bring Sasuke back?"

Madara Uchiha had not yet had time to answer when a violent tremor suddenly came from the distance.

"Rumble——"

Ground cracks rapidly spread; strands of vast chakra surged up from underground like a volcanic eruption. These chakra twisted and writhed in the air, all surging toward Kaguya's location.

Kaguya's body began to swell and deform; her originally slender frame twisted inch by inch, her skin surface suddenly bulging, one ferocious Tailed Beast head after another struggling to drill out.

"Not good!"

Naruto stomped his foot, his whole person violently retreating backward, but the giant hand's speed exceeded his prediction; a huge shadow instantly engulfed him.

At the critical moment, Naruto crossed his arms; orange chakra crazily surged on his body surface, forming a layer of shield.

"Boom!"

The giant hand slammed down heavily, the earth collapsing instantly. Amidst flying dust, a palm print dozens of meters wide appeared, with Naruto pressed at its center, the chakra within his body leaking out wildly like a breached dam.

"Kamui!"

Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan on his forehead spun rapidly, a pitch-black spatial vortex forming before him, while his other hand clenched into a fist, the power of the Gura Gura no Mi flowing along his fist edge, forming visible ripples one after another.

"Break for me!"

Madara roared, his fist striking the void. The power of the Gura Gura no Mi erupted instantly, the Kamui spatial vortex shattering like glass, countless fine cracks spreading outward, space constantly twisting and deforming under this force.

"Crack!"

Spatial fragments scattered, Kaguya's giant hand being severed outright. No blood flowed from the severed end, only thick chakra continuously seeping out.

At this moment, the surface of the huge white ball suddenly rippled strangely, a pitch-black light point appearing at the sphere's center, expanding at an astonishing speed.

"This power!" Madara's pupils shrank suddenly, Observation Haki warning wildly: "Stronger than any previous attack!" "Boom!"

The black ball instantly devoured the white ball, Kaguya's figure condensing beside the black ball, the vertical pupil on her forehead opening, cold light flashing in her eyes: "Mere lowly creatures, daring to injure my body, then let you witness true power."

Her slender finger lightly tapped, the black ball's surface beginning to expand instantly: "The Truth-Seeking Ball will devour the entire space, let you and this world be destroyed together."

The black ball's surface suddenly expanded, an indescribable terrifying fluctuation instantly enveloping the entire space. Madara saw the air twisting and deforming under this force, even light being devoured.

Suddenly, Madara pressed his right hand on Naruto's shoulder: "I need a little time, you hold her back, I'll bring Sasuke back."

Naruto glanced at Madara's expression, asking no more, taking a deep breath: "Understood, leave it to me!"

He quickly formed hand seals with both hands: "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Amidst rising white smoke, over a hundred golden figures appeared simultaneously, surrounding Kaguya, each shadow clone wrapped in orange chakra.

"Go!" Naruto gave the order, all shadow clones bursting out at once, rushing toward Kaguya like a golden flood.

Kaguya stood in midair, the black ball behind her constantly expanding, devouring everything around her, she coldly swept her gaze over the dense shadow clones: "Trying to buy time?"

"As long as I kill any one of you, the seal cannot be completed."

Kaguya lightly raised her hand, countless fist shadows condensing in the air, raining down on the shadow clones, the front-line shadow clones instantly shattered, dissipating into white smoke. But more shadow clones surged from behind, one after another.

"Hah!" The shadow clones roared simultaneously, orange chakra condensing in their palms, forming Rasengans one after another.

Kaguya frowned, these shadow clones' movements were identical, impossible to distinguish the real body, the Byakugan on her forehead suddenly opening, her gaze penetrating layer after layer of space.

"There!"

She saw a massive chakra fluctuation in the distance, vaguely able to see Madara and several Limbo phantom figures.

Naruto saw the change in Kaguya's gaze, his expression changing.

"Go!"

Naruto gave a low shout, all shadow clones instantly changing direction, rushing toward Madara like a tide.

"In the way!" Kaguya coldly snorted, "Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"

Fist shadows cleared the path, instantly punching a vacuum zone through the shadow clone group, then her slender fingers raised, several bone-white bone spikes breaking through the sky.

"Not good!" Naruto's pupils shrank suddenly, immediately ordering shadow clones to rush up and block. But before that terrifying speed, it was like slow motion.

"Limbo!" Madara lowly shouted, four phantoms instantly blocking before him.

At this moment, Kaguya's lips suddenly curved into a strange arc, several spatial rifts suddenly tearing open before the bone spikes, the next moment, more rifts appearing around Madara.

"What?!" Madara's pupils shrank violently.

Bone spikes pierced through the rifts, instantly shooting toward Madara's vital points from all directions, his sides and back completely exposed within the attack range.

"Damn it!" Madara's Sharingan on his forehead spun rapidly, "Kamui!"

The Sharingan on his forehead spun rapidly, a pitch-black spatial vortex unfolding before him, but there were too many bone spikes, even Kamui unable to devour them all.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Several bone spikes broke through the defense line, precisely piercing into Madara's body, eerie light flashing on the bone-white spikes, Madara's body instantly beginning to turn into flying ash.

"You bastard!" Naruto looked at Kaguya, bloodshot eyes appearing, Nine-Tails Chakra surging on his body surface, the whole person rushing out like a shell.

"Boom!"

Naruto's fist heavily struck Kaguya's chest, orange chakra exploding like flames, air waves surging, the surrounding air trembling.

"You think this can stop me?" Kaguya's body flew backward under the immense force, but a cold smile appeared on her face: "Everything is over."

"Mother! Don't!"

Suddenly Black Zetsu's voice sounded from afar, at this time he finally broke free from Naruto's seal, a flash of panic in his eyes, "Stop! That's not the real Madara!"

"What?!" Kaguya's pupils shrank.

In this flash of lightning and stone fire, the shadow clones in midair suddenly parted to both sides, revealing a path, Madara's figure appearing at the end of the path, his four eyes simultaneously glowing with eerie light.

Four Limbo phantoms appeared around Madara, each phantom's Sharingan spinning rapidly: "Kamui!"

"Hum—" The air trembled, four pitch-black spatial vortices tearing open around Kaguya, forming a perfect encirclement, one door revealing Sasuke's figure.

Although not knowing exactly what happened, Sasuke immediately understood upon seeing the scene before him, the magatama in his left eye spinning rapidly, instantly locking onto a shadow clone.

"Amenotejikara!"

"How is this possible?" Panic appeared in Kaguya's voice: "You long ago..."

Space twisted for a moment, Sasuke and that shadow clone instantly swapped positions, at the same time Naruto had already closed in, both pressing on Kaguya simultaneously.

"Six Paths: Planetary Devastation!"

Two terrifying forces erupted simultaneously, space violently twisting. Countless rocks flew from all directions, condensing into a huge meteorite above Kaguya's head. Terrifying gravity firmly imprisoned Kaguya's body.

"Damn..." Kaguya struggled to break free, but the binding of the two forces made her unable to move, "Actually sealed again!"

"Mother!" Black Zetsu let out a desperate scream.

"Boom!"

The meteorite constantly condensed, rocks sweeping in like a storm. Kaguya's figure gradually disappeared among the rocks, the Rinne Sharingan on her forehead slowly closing.

"Success!" Naruto turned to look at Sasuke, a hint of a smile just appearing on his face.

At this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

"Boom!"

A loud noise came from above.

The two looked up, only to see Madara's figure had appeared above the Giant Rock at some unknown time, his four eyes simultaneously lighting up with an eerie light, his right hand clenched into a fist.

"Quake Quake Fruit: All Things Annihilation!"

Limbo's figure emerged, vast power flowing on their fist peaks, forming rings of visible shockwave ripples. His whole person was like a bolt of Black Lightning, one fist smashing into the not-yet-solidified Chibaku Tensei.

"Boom—!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, the Chibaku Tensei instantly shattered! Countless rubble shot out in all directions like scattering flowers.

"Madara! What are you doing?!" Naruto roared.

Madara did not answer, his figure flashing, instantly arriving beside Kaguya, grabbing Kaguya's neck with one hand; at this time Kaguya was still in a sealed state, simply unable to resist in time.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Countless pitch-black tentacles suddenly extended from behind Madara, each emitting a heart-palpitating aura; these tentacles evolved from the God Tree, dancing wildly in the air for a moment, then viciously piercing into Kaguya's body like hungry venomous snakes.

"This is." Sasuke's pupils contracted sharply, "The God Tree's root system?"

After Madara absorbed the God Tree, his body had already become a part of Kaguya; it was precisely because of this connection that he could directly absorb this world's Kaguya's power.
