I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball

"It's time to end everything," Madara raised both hands, preparing to launch an attack against Nagasawa and the others who resisted Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Stab!

Just as Madara was about to personally deal with Nagasawa and the others who had resisted the Infinite Tsukuyomi, a black arm pierced through his chest.

Madara stood still with a face filled with astonishment and disbelief. He couldn't believe that the manifestation of his own will betrayed him, and he didn't even notice it.

For some reason Madara had lost control over his body. He felt a deep sense of regret, realizing that he was on the verge of success, only to be betrayed like this.

"Black Zetsu, why..." Madara's face expressed deep regret.

"Heh." Black Zetsu sneered and said, "Madara, you thought so highly of yourself and looked down on Obito, thinking that he was your puppet. But in the end, you're just as foolish as Obito. You manipulated Madara, but you didn't realize that I was manipulating you. You thought you were invincible? What a joke!"

"Black Zetsu, you were created by my will. Why would you do this?" Madara asked in confusion.

He trusted Zetsu so much because he believed Zetsu was created by his will, something he could absolutely trust, equivalent to an extension of himself.

"Heh, it's quite amusing. Madara, I'm not your will; you're just my pawn," Black Zetsu mocked.

Immediately after Black Zetsu succeeded, a large amount of Chakra gushed out from the ground and entered Madara's body. Madara's body swelled like an inflating balloon, fueled by the surging Chakra.

"But your death is not entirely meaningless. You should feel honoured to resurrect Kaguya in exchange for your life," Black Zetsu remarked coldly.

"Resurrect Kaguya? Isn't Infinite Tsukuyomi an Eye Technique created by Uchiha Clan for peace?" Madara was once again shocked.

"Bring peace? How are you so sure about that?" Black Zetsu's face was filled with mockery.

"Uchiha Clan's stone tablet, a monument left by the Sage of the Six Paths! This shouldn't be!" Madara's voice grew louder. He couldn't accept this outcome.

"The stone tablet? Madara, I've lived much longer than you. I had enough time to tinker with the stone tablet left by Hagoromo," Black Zetsu revealed the brutal truth.

What Madara thought was a salvation method he had found was just Black Zetsu's scheme to fool him.

At this moment, Madara's body, swollen from absorbing too much Chakra, had turned into a gigantic flesh heap. Meanwhile, Black Zetsu was gradually merging into Madara's body, and Madara's body slowly but surely turned black.

Naruto and the others were bewildered by this sudden turn of events. They had prepared to face the boss, but now the enemy seemed to fight among themselves.

Although they didn't know the specifics of what had happened, they could sense that things were about to get worse. The Chakra surging from the ground was even more intense than Ten Tails'.

That Chakra was absorbed from all Shinobi here. If God Tree kept absorbing Chakra, at this rate, everyone would become another White Zetsu.

"Let's go! We can't just sit idly and watch. We must quickly end Infinite Tsukuyomi, or everyone will be in danger," Naruto quickly said.

However, Nagasawa stopped him and said, "Now, Madara has become a massive lump of Chakra. Recklessly attacking him may be dangerous. We need to prepare our attacks and strike at the moment Black Zetsu completes his plan."

After a moment of thought, Naruto agreed. It made sense. Instead of charging forward, he began preparing his signature move Rasengan to welcome Kaguya.

Black Zetsu was rapidly taking over Madara's body. Finally, when Madara's Rinnegan was completely covered in black, Madara declared his defeat.

"Hashirama, where did I go wrong?" In Madara's final moments, he recalled Hashirama. They had fought fiercely due to ideological differences, and in the end, it turned out he was the one in the wrong.

After his whole body was covered in black, he underwent a new transformation. The black flesh heap gradually shaped into a humanoid figure.

Finally, as the black receded, a woman with fair skin, a serene expression, and long horns on her head appeared before everyone.

The woman in robe had two pure white Byakugan, and a red Rinne Sharingan on her forehead. Her white hair was even longer than her body.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki!" Nagasawa and Naruto, Sasuke instantly recognized this woman who appeared so suddenly.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Kaguya, Naruto and Sasuke's expressions became even more serious.

After all, Sage of the Six Paths had warned them about Kaguya's power – immortality in all sense. She could only be sealed, as defeating her was impossible. Moreover, it required Yin-Yang Release to perform the sealing, not something an ordinary sealing Technique could accomplish.

Seeing Kaguya, Nagasawa felt a mix of excitement and disappointment. As someone who came to another world, he had always considered Kaguya, the ultimate boss in Naruto Universe, as more of an imaginary enemy.

Now that he actually faced Kaguya, Nagasawa suddenly lost interest. Kaguya didn't seem as strong as he imagined.

Although her aura was much stronger than Six Paths Madara, it wasn't by a large margin. If he activated the Supernova Mode, he could surely beat Kaguya mercilessly.

Even without Supernova Mode, once he developed his own Sage Mode and a year of training, he could probably reach Kaguya's level.

With the system's assistance in training, it would take much less time. A few months might be enough.

Of course, if he got a new template, it might be even faster.

"Do you also know her, Nagasawa-san?" Naruto asked in surprise. His knowledge came from the Sage of the Six Paths, so he wondered how Nagasawa knew about Kaguya.

"Of course, after all, I am the Fourth Hokage," Nagasawa said confidently.

"Well, that makes sense," Naruto nodded, trusting Nagasawa's words. In his mind, Hokage was omnipotent, and the Fourth Hokage was even more so. Therefore, he didn't think it was weird that Nagasawa know about Kaguya.

Although Kakashi really wanted to retort the conversation between the two, the sudden appearance of the terrifying enemy was too much. He held the barely conscious Obito and retreated behind everyone.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Despite the casual conversation, Nagasawa and Naruto immediately bombarded Kaguya with the attacks they had prepared in advance.

Flaming compressed air blade, Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken, Six Paths Chidori were aimed at Kaguya simultaneously.

Although Kaguya was not accustomed to battle, it didn't mean she would just stand there and take opponents' attacks. Her long hair transformed into a wall that blocked the attack for her.

The explosion caused by the three Six Paths-level attacks created a massive pit where Kaguya was. However, when the smoke cleared, Kaguya was revealed to be completely unharmed. Her hair appeared slightly shorter, but it quickly restored itself.

Nagasawa silently took back his words earlier. Kaguya was indeed tough as she could block their powerful attacks with her hair alone. As expected of someone who had consumed Chakra Fruit.

Kaguya ignored the others and looked at Nagasawa, Sasuke, and Naruto.

Because of her Byakugan, she noticed Asura and Indra's Chakra within Naruto and Sasuke.

Nagasawa drew Kaguya's attention simply by being strong—extremely strong.

It wasn't that Nagasawa was currently stronger than Kaguya, but Kaguya couldn't comprehend how Nagasawa had reached this level.

Nagasawa wasn't an Uchiha or Senju descendant, and he didn't have Tailed Beasts' power inside him either. He reached the level of Sage of Six Paths with only Sage Mode and another power that Kaguya wasn't familiar with, which surprised Kaguya.

Ordinary Otsutsuki would be at this level without consuming Chakra Fruit, yet Nagasawa had achieved it even though he wasn't an Otsutsuki. It was truly remarkable.

"How did you do it?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Kaguya's cold face.

She was genuinely curious how Nagasawa had become so strong.

"What do you mean, how did I do it?" Nagasawa felt somewhat perplexed. According to the plot, Kaguya shouldn't be focusing on him first; her attention should be on Naruto and Sasuke. Why did she focus on him?

"You are powerful, and you've achieved it on your own. Impressive," Kaguya praised Nagasawa as he hovered in front of him with her feet off the ground.

The others around Nagasawa quickly jumped away, cautiously observing the mother of the Sage of the Six Paths.

"If you have something to say, go ahead!" Nagasawa said, appreciating Kaguya with a look of admiration.

Unexpectedly, Kaguya seemed surprisingly sensible. Nagasawa could consider going easy on her later.

Kaguya looked somewhat astonished as she didn't expect this kind of response from Nagasawa. Typically, when she praised someone, that person should bow and thank her, perhaps even went as far sacrificing themselves for her.

"Join me, and I can give you a position where you are beneath one and above millions. In this world, you will be the person with the highest authority besides me," Kaguya straightforwardly offered.

Kaguya didn't understand subtlety and offered Nagasawa to join her right off the bat.

She admired Nagasawa's strength and wanted to make him her own. She also wanted to know how he became so powerful.

Even if she had ruled and dominate this planet for thousands of years, Kaguya never forgot the horror of Ōtsutsuki Clan's main branch.

Even though they probably wouldn't notice the loss of one or two ordinary Ōtsutsuki members, Kaguya didn't dare to let her guard down. She constantly sought power to deal with potential threats from the main branch of Ōtsutsuki Clan.

"Nagasawa-san, don't believe her words!" Seeing Kaguya's unethical approach to turn them against each other, Naruto immediately spoke up.

"Naruto, you should trust Nagasawa, believe in the Hokage," Minato said.

Although Minato had only known Nagasawa for a very short time, he was confident that Nagasawa was not someone who would surrender. 

Nagasawa didn't disappoint Minato. In response to Kaguya's offer, he smiled and replied:

"I am, after all, the leader of Konoha. Why should I join you camp and become your henchmen? If you step down and let me take the lead, I might consider it."

Negotioation wasn't included in the Challenge Mission's objectives.

Tobirama's talent in Forbidden Technique was crucial because Nagasawa knew more things than Tobirama. His broader knowledge allowed him to develop stronger Forbidden Technique. Besides, he was challenging Kaguya of this world, not the one from his world. He wouldn't be in this world forever.

"You've made a wrong choice," Kaguya said with a somewhat cold and upset look on her face.

Kaguya waved her hand, instantly teleporting everyone around her into a world filled with lava called the Lava Dimension.

The Lava Dimension was full of scorching hot magma.

Nagasawa used Geppo to walk in the air. On the other hand, Sasuke used his Susanoo to fly while bringing Naruto.

Kakashi, on the other hand, threw a wired Kunai onto a rock. At this point, one of his hands was holding Obito, while the other tightly held onto the wire.

"Sasuke, help Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto said upon seeing Kakashi dangling on the rock with Obito in his arms.

However, Sasuke shook his head and said, "The key to defeat Kaguya is our Yin-Yang powers. If we don't defeat Kaguya, everyone in the world will die. If we put Kakashi inside Susanoo, it will slow me down. If the Sealing Technique fails because of that, what are you planning to do?"

Kakashi: ...

Although he felt that Sasuke's words made some sense, he still felt disappointed deep inside.

"Naruto, you can change the shape of your Truth-Seeking Balls and use it as a footing." Nagasawa couldn't help but suggest upon watching this scene.

Thanks to Nagasawa's suggestion, Naruto instantly grasped the idea. He transformed the Truth-Seeking Balls into small black discs and stood on one of them and made one for Kakashi while he was at it.

Kaguya remained indifferent and calm upon observing everyone used their respective techniques. She activated Yomotsu Hirasaka and suddenly appeared behind Naruto and Sasuke.

Although Nagasawa was powerful, he lacked Yin-Yang powers. No matter how strong he was, he could only injure Kaguya but couldn't seal her.

For her, Naruto and Sasuke were the real threats as they possessed Yin-Yang powers.

Kaguya reached out and placed her hand on Naruto and Sasuke's shoulders. From her sleeves, Black Zetsu instantly emerged and took control of Naruto and Sasuke.

They didn't expect Kaguya to suddenly appear behind them. In this dimension of hers, Kaguya was basically an omnipotent god who could be anywhere with Yomotsu Hirasaka in her disposal. Unaware of this, Naruto and Sasuke instantly fell victim to her.

However, Nagasawa was prepared. His black sword that was burning with golden flames was immediately swung towards Kaguya.

"Mother, don't let his flame hit you; his flame is on a whole different level." Black Zetsu, who had tasted the power of Nagasawa's flames, quickly reminded Kaguya.

Although she was immortal, she could still be injured. If she were to be harmed, Naruto and Sasuke might seize this opportunity to seal her with their Yin-Yang powers.

"Throw them into different dimensions and defeat them one by one," Black Zetsu quickly suggested his idea.

Finding merit in Black Zetsu's words, Kaguya used Yomotsu Hirasaka again, disappearing before Nagasawa with Naruto and Sasuke in tow.

The Truth-Seeking Ball beneath Kakashi disappeared, and he fell straight into the lava.

Fortunately, Nagasawa acted swiftly, dashing toward Kakashi and caught him in time, preventing him from falling into the lava.

"Lord Nagasawa, what should we do next?" Kakashi frowned, expressing his concerns.

It seemed they had fallen into a deadlock.

To defeat Kaguya, they needed Yin-Yang powers. However, all of them were now separated.
