"Phew… close call."
Wiping away his sweat, Naruto withdrew his hand.
Before him, the moon, which had shown signs of structural collapse due to its center being penetrated, had been 'filled back in'.
"This is how Chibaku Tensei should be used."
'Speaking of which, myths did indeed pass down that the moon was created by the Sage of Six Paths. Could this be the truth?'
The matter at the moon's center had been completely annihilated by the energy impact.
To prevent the moon's collapse from causing major tides on the ground, Naruto took ti from his busy schedule to perform a Chibaku Tensei on the moon.
Of course, what would happen to the buildings hidden beneath the lunar crust wasn't Naruto's concern.
"Mmph mmph mmph!"
Toneri, bound hand and foot and even mouth by golden chains, unable to move, could only helplessly watch as his ho was first pierced by a laser cannon and then crushed by gravity.
"I'll deal with you later, don't rush."
Saying this, Naruto flew to the other side.
Toneri's strength was only useful against the inexperienced 'ground people' of the Ninja World.
Against those with Otsutsuki bloodline… no, even purer than his, like Isshiki and Naruto, he was simply delivering himself.
Naruto, considering that they had indeed co and bombed the moon first, was at fault initially, so he didn't recklessly dispose of Toneri.
On the other side, Isshiki, who had been reduced to just two feet, had already regrown his upper body.
Now his head was completely filled with root-like flesh, a massive crimson Rinnegan occupying a third of his face.
"Completely taken over?"
Looking at the form quite resembling the Ten-Tails, Naruto could only sigh.
Isshiki's resistance was far fiercer than he had imagined, his fighting will far surpassing the naive Kaguya of the past.
To defeat and kill him, this guy didn't hesitate to actively surrender control of his body to the Ten-Tails.
Yes, actively.
Both being Otsutsuki, Naruto knew very well that as long as Isshiki's Kama hadn't dissipated, he could always hold the dominant control over this body.
The Ten-Tails' ferocious will could interfere with him to so extent, but couldn't devour or overco him.
Based on Naruto's current Observation Haki perception, the part of Isshiki's feedback belonging to 'humanity' was negligible.
With this level of resistance, taking him alive was clearly impossible.
"In that case… I'll have to completely settle this here."
Saying this, Naruto again gathered a Truth-Seeking Ball blade, which confused Toneri.
If his mouth weren't sealed by chains, he would definitely loudly question.
'What was this guy thinking? He wanted to completely kill the other with just a Truth-Seeking Ball?'
'Even using the Tenseigan's power, I could only amplify the Truth-Seeking Ball to that extent. This hateful celestial being didn't think killing the other on a physical level would be enough?'
'But that couldn't be right.'
Just in the earlier battle between them, they had decapitated and pierced each other's hearts no less than a hundred tis, yet they were still fine.'
Unfortunately, Naruto had no mind to answer Toneri's doubts now.
"Roar!!"
Isshiki… no, now he should be called the Ten-Tails.
The Ten-Tails roared, and instantly the surrounding gravity changed.
Invisible spatial cracks spread toward Naruto.
No sound, no sll, not even energy fluctuation.
These were the 'ripples' produced by manipulating space folding with the crimson Rinnegan.
Yet this invisible gravity change was even more obvious to the Jogan than the previous Chakra attack.
As an eye capable of penetrating spatial dinsions, it now truly revealed its power.
At this mont, Naruto closed his Kokugan and Rinnegan, leaving only the eye emitting a cyan-white light, the Jogan, tightly watching the Ten-Tails ahead.
The purpose of those invisible spatial cracks seed not just simple attack, but also factors affecting spatial stability.
Because in Naruto's vision, the easily perford Anotorifune had beco difficult to use due to those cracks lying in space.
Not unusable, but Naruto's intuition told him that using Anotorifune in such chaotic spatial conditions might cause unpredictable consequences.
"This is really… your combat wisdom isn't even as good as a beast's? Isshiki."
Naruto lightly complained about Isshiki, but also marveled at this Ten-Tails' intelligence.
This guy imdiately perceived the key factor affecting the battle.
Its choice made Naruto's movent constrained, actually better at delaying Naruto's actions than Isshiki had.
Seeing Naruto maintain his drawing blade posture but not suddenly appearing before him as rembered, the Ten-Tails' ferocious face actually showed a human-like smile.
The next mont, the monster, having grown seven or eight more arms from its back, violently swiped its claws in place, creating more spatial ripples.
The surrounding space was further disrupted, and even the creature's figure beca hazy like flowers in a mirror or the moon's reflection on water.
"Roar roar… haha…"
This monster even imitated human laughter, clearly very pleased with its thods.
"Tch, re beast…"
"Hey hey… are you implying ?"
Kurama heard Naruto's thoughts and couldn't help but speak up.
But Naruto currently had no ti to pay attention to him.
Using the Jogan's ability, he had already found a fatal attack path within the layers of 'spatial maze'.
The next mont, his figure vanished from the spot.
"Roar?"
Losing perception of Naruto, the Ten-Tails imdiately reacted.
Fortunately, Naruto was moving 'personally' this ti, giving it enough reaction ti.
Countless sharp horns like wooden thorns grew on its body, turning it into a giant hedgehog, launching indiscriminate attacks in all directions-
Shhk shhk shhk!
Suddenly appearing Naruto had his arm, waist, and one leg pierced, but this level of attack ant nothing to him.
His action of drawing the blade didn't hesitate at all.
"Mushoukou—"
Naruto's Tenseigan emitted a blue glow, just like the light flickering on his blade.
"—Dan!"
No light, no sound.
From Toneri's layman perspective, Naruto seed to just swing empty air.
A slash delivered, before the Ten-Tails showed any reaction, the black longsword ford by Naruto's Truth-Seeking Ball shattered first.
Naruto, who had intended to make a cool sheath, paused, then sighed.
'Even the Truth-Seeking Ball couldn't withstand this slash?'
This slash that cut through ti and space along the continuum.
The Ten-Tails, not feeling the expected heavy blow, was also stunned for a few seconds, then prepared to counterattack Naruto.
But its action froze in place.
No sword wound appeared on its body, but like a watery illusion, it began to shatter piece by piece from its legs.
The Ten-Tails couldn't understand, nor could Isshiki, lurking in this body hoping for a proxy fight.
This slash was based on the Jogan's ability to penetrate space and even ti, so even the indestructible Truth-Seeking Ball couldn't bear such a strike.
Naruto loosely gripped the air, shaking his head.
'Still a little short, just a little.'
Behind him, the Ten-Tails' huge body had completely dissipated, leaving only a square mark without 'thickness', as if it should belong to a two-dinsional world.
That was the Kama… the Kama belonging to Isshiki.
