Chapter 358: The Persistent Kaguya
"Impossible!" Kaguya felt intense pain from her body, still unable to believe the scene unfolding before her.
It was as if Nagasawa could move freely, unaffected by gravity, while she was beaten to a pulp because of Nagasawa's attacks and the gravity.
"This is my dimension, how did this happen?" Kaguya couldn't fathom what just happened.
Since she was overwhelmed in Ice Dimension, she thought that Gravity Dimension would lead her to victory. However, it was as if Gravity Dimension was practically aiding Nagasawa to defeat her.
"You're too weak. Even though this is your own dimension, you can't adapt to the gravity you created." Nagasawa condescendingly remarked.
In Nagasawa's opinion, Kaguya did indeed waste her potential. She could create a Gravity Dimension like this, yet she didn't use it to train herself, and she couldn't even withstand the gravity in her own dimension.
Then again, this came from a person who planned to create a massive army of White Zetsu to defend against a potential threat from Otsutsuki Clan. Could those White Zetsu really stop Otsutsuki Clan? Nagasawa had his doubts.
If Nagasawa and Kaguya switched places, Nagasawa would undoubtedly choose to develop the entire world, balancing technology and Chakra development. Having skilled individuals like Isshiki and Hamura would be better than a bunch of White Zetsu.
Once they made a significant progress in science, she could even travel to other planets using spacecraft, and if she found a suitable planet, she could plant a God Tree there and consumed the Chakra Fruit.
If she did that, after thousands of years, not only Kaguya herself but everyone in this planet would get. It wouldn't have turned into the current state where technology regressed, and Shinobi's average strength declined from one generation to the next.
Being looked down by Nagasawa, Kaguya couldn't contain her anger. This reminded her of her unpleasant past when Ishiki Otsutsuki looked down on her.
Kaguya was an ordinary member of the Otsutsuki Clan. This statement wasn't entirely accurate because her status was even lower than that of an ordinary member.
In Otsutsuki Clan, every newborn's talent would be tested, and based on their talent, they would be assigned a rank. Those with the lowest talent were called "defects."
As defects, their only mission was to protect the higher-ranking Otsutsuki and sacrificed their lives if necessary. When a two-man team was formed to plant the God Tree in a planet, the defects became a guardian for the more talented Otsutsuki. This concept was instilled in all Otsutsuki Clan members since they were a child.
Kaguya, however, was a somewhat rebellious child. She couldn't accept the fact that she was born just to a sacrifice for others. She would rather not be born at all than becoming a sacrifice for others.
Despite that, Kaguya cherished her life. She knew better not to express her dissatisfaction, so she kept it bottled inside.
Later, when Kaguya reached adulthood, she was assigned to form a team with Isshiki to plant the God Tree. While on the mission, Kaguya ambushed Isshiki and killed him, and then sacrificed him to the Ten-Tails to plant the God Tree and consumed the Chakra Fruit herself.
Kaguya didn't regret it because if she hadn't killed Isshiki that day, she would have been the one that died. It wasn't that she had a grudge against Isshiki. Their relationship was average at best. Isshiki never considered Kaguya a person but rather viewed her as a sacrifice whenever necessary. Hence, Isshiki looked down on Kaguya, but they never had any significant disputes.
This was related to Otsutsuki Clan's rules. To plant the God Tree, the guardian needed to sacrifice themselves to be devoured by the Ten-Tails. This would ensure a high quality Chakra Fruit.
Kaguya didn't want to die, so she ambushed Isshiki, killing him before he could sacrifice her. Isshiki never expected Kaguya to attack him because she had always behaved normally.
Kaguya had mixed feelings at this moment. She had broken free from her fate as a guardian, so she didn't want to fall now.
Upon thinking about those things, Kaguya's fighting spirit suddenly rose. She burst with Chakra, and this time, bone spikes emerged from various parts of her body.
Swish, swish, swish!
This time, the All-Killing Ash Bones was not targeting Nagasawa specifically, but an indiscriminate attack that covered all directions.
Kakashi's Sharingan spun rapidly, causing distortions in the space, swallowing some of the bone spikes.
With both Mangekyo Sharingan and the addition of the Chakra he received from Obito, Kakashi could use Kamui much faster.
However, Kakashi's Kamui could only eradicate a small portion of the bone spikes. Naruto and Sasuke were still in danger.
Nagasawa swiftly stepped in, forming a golden fire wall in front of them by clasping his hands.
The All-Killing Ash Bones were burned upon hitting the fire wall, but the golden flame dispersed because of the All-Killing Ash Bones.
At this moment, Black Zetsu emerged from Kaguya's sleeve and said, "Mother, absorb me, and then use Amenominaka to teleport that guy who can travel through dimensions and the fire guy to the Core Dimension. It's too difficult to fight here."
Kaguya was currently overwhelmed by gravity, and Nagasawa had the upper hand in this dimension. If she used the Yomotsu Hirasaka, she might be sent flying by Nagasawa before she could enter the portal.
Her only chance to turn the situation around was by going to the Core Dimension, where a massive amount of Chakra had awaited for her to absorb.
Black Zetsu didn't mind sacrificing himself at all. His whole purpose was to resurrect Kaguya and assist her.
"Oh, and if you have the chance, just kill Naruto and Sasuke right away. Don't even think about absorbing their Chakra," Black Zetsu reminded Kaguya before being absorbed.
Kaguya nodded, absorbed Black Zetsu, and immediately used Amenominaka to teleport Nagasawa and Kakashi to Core Dimension.
The once lively Gravity Dimension now only had Naruto and Sasuke left.
Naruto and Sasuke sat on the ground while staring at each other.
"Now what?" Naruto asked with frustration.
"We have no choice but to wait for Kakashi to find us," Sasuke replied. He seemed quite depressed. Without their Yin-Yang powers, even if Nagasawa was strong, he couldn't seal Kaguya.
"No, wait. Kakashi's Sharingan can resonate with Kaguya's Dimension. There's no reason I can't do it. I'll try using my Rinnegan." Sasuke suddenly thought of something.
