In the Initial Space, Kaguya Otsutsuki's form materialized out of thin air, lying on the rippling red ground, wriggling like a white worm.
She wasn't struggling to crawl; rather, the flesh of her wounds was rapidly regenerating.
At this moment, Kaguya Otsutsuki bore no resemblance to her original self; she was like a puddle of white sludge.
If it weren't for the will of the Rabbit Goddess, who had consumed the Chakra Fruit, residing within this body, Madara Uchiha, had he sustained such severe injuries, would have seen the Ten-Tails' will seize the opportunity to rebel, transforming him into a Tailed Beast version of the Ten-Tails.
Even if he didn't transform into the Ten-Tails, he would have ended up like Uchiha Obito in the original story, who struggled with the Ten-Tails for control of his body—outwardly human, but with the consciousness of an emotionless beast.
However, for Kaguya Otsutsuki, these injuries merely required consuming some Chakra.
Just as Kaguya Otsutsuki's upper body was about to be fully repaired, a black rift suddenly appeared in the green sky, and Izayoi's figure flew out from it.
Gazing at Kaguya Otsutsuki, whose head was about to reappear, Izayoi raised his hand and condensed a golden orb of light, shooting it down below.
A terrifying suction force pulled the Ten-Tails' Chakra from within Kaguya Otsutsuki's body, drawing it into the orb of light.
When Kaguya Otsutsuki's body had fully regenerated her head and her consciousness returned, her expression immediately changed.
Without hesitation, she once again used Ame-no-Minakanushi and vanished from the Initial Space.
When she reappeared, she was above a green sea, specifically the Acid Sea Space of Ame-no-Minakanushi.
While rapidly consuming Chakra to repair her body, Kaguya Otsutsuki muttered with a grim expression, "How did that guy know where I was?"
"Could it be that in addition to that Eye Power which can absorb Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, his eyes also possess a marking Eye Power?"
Thinking this, Kaguya Otsutsuki fully activated her Byakugan's perception ability to inspect her body, checking for the presence of any other Chakra.
The result was that there was no Technique Formula whatsoever.
This meant that Izayoi had not left a mark on her body, or on the sacrificial offering.
Either Izayoi could precisely locate her Chakra within the space-time tunnel.
Or, Izayoi's Eye Power possessed a marking ability that left no Technique Formula.
Kaguya Otsutsuki leaned towards the latter; after all, she also possessed Yomotsu Hirasaka, but she couldn't see the Chakra within an Other Dimension through the curving gates of the space-time tunnel.
Otherwise, Isshiki Otsutsuki would have been found by Kaguya Otsutsuki long ago.
To confirm her suspicions, Kaguya Otsutsuki did not immediately return to the super-gravity space to find Black Zetsu. Instead, she stayed in the Acid Sea Space to see if Izayoi could find her here.
Izayoi didn't make her wait long.
In less than three minutes, a rift appeared above the green sea.
Seeing this rift, Kaguya Otsutsuki immediately raised her hand and shot out a bone arrow, intending to catch Izayoi off guard.
However, when the rift opened, Izayoi did not fly out.
The bone arrow flew precisely into the black portal, without the sound of a sharp object piercing something.
The next second, Kaguya Otsutsuki's expression abruptly changed.
A dazzling white light streaked across the sky above the green sea, vanishing in a flash.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's body, which had been severed at the waist, once again vanished without a trace.
Having used the combination of Heavenly Transfer Technique and Flying Thunder God Technique again to ambush Kaguya Otsutsuki, Izayoi couldn't help but shake his head and say, "There's really no sense of accomplishment."
Even a child with a gun can make an adult feel tense.
However, Kaguya Otsutsuki, possessing ten colored Perks and several Kekkei Mōra, was, in Izayoi's eyes, even less impressive than Madara Uchiha.
If he didn't know the storyline and that Madara Uchiha simply couldn't obtain so many Kekkei Mōra, Izayoi wouldn't even dare to let Madara Uchiha become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
But now, neither Madara Uchiha nor Kaguya Otsutsuki could put any pressure on Izayoi.
The only difficulty was that Kaguya Otsutsuki simply couldn't be killed. The only way was to spend a long time depleting her Chakra, just like Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki did a millennium ago, and then seal her.
Izayoi didn't possess Six Paths: Planetary Devastation, nor did he have the ability to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki. So his only method was to continuously absorb Kaguya Otsutsuki's Chakra until she had none left, at which point the will residing in Madara Uchiha's body would naturally disappear.
Thus, another branch extended from Izayoi's body, and then he condensed a Chakra Rosary before using Yomotsu Hirasaka to leave the Acid Sea Space.
When Izayoi tracked Kaguya Otsutsuki to the Desert Space, what greeted him was finally no longer All-Killing Ash Bones and Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, but a world-obscuring sandstorm and countless sharp spears formed from sand.
Worried about being hit by Izayoi's combination Technique again, Kaguya Otsutsuki, upon transferring to the Desert Space, immediately used Nature Integration to merge with the Desert Space, controlling the climate of the Desert Space and the sand to attack Izayoi.
In response, Izayoi merely gently waved the black sword in his hand.
A white light flashed, and the sky-obscuring sandstorm and the sand spears attacking him instantly dissipated.
There was no familiar white slash; just a fleeting flash of light, and Kaguya Otsutsuki's attack turned to nothingness.
After only a few uses of Ame-no-Numahoko, Izayoi had mastered this idealistic power, finding new ways to use it.
This was not only due to his Transcendence Potential (Rainbow) but also because of the Chakra Rosary.
The Chakra Rosary was an alternative Ame-no-Numahoko; both possessed the power to create and destroy worlds.
The difference was that the Chakra Rosary relied on imagination.
As long as there was enough internal energy and the ideas were imaginative enough, the Chakra Rosary could theoretically create anything, including humans.
However, to create humans, Izayoi needed to have a sufficient understanding of the human body and his Yin-Yang Release attainments had to be strong enough.
If Yin-Yang Release could create unconscious humans and self-aware Chakra materialized beings, then Izayoi could create humans or his own descendants, just like Kaguya Otsutsuki in the manga.
The Chakra Rosary relies on imagination, while the Ame-no-Numahoko relies on will.
Both are spiritual, and one could even say they involve the soul.
Izayoi now understood why Hagoromo Otsutsuki's soul could continue to exist after his physical body died.
At the same time, Izayoi was also very certain.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki's strength had not diminished at all.
The only thing he lacked compared to his thousand-year-old self was likely the amount of Chakra at the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki level.
After a person dies, their Chakra also disappears along with their soul.
Whatever amount of Chakra Hagoromo Otsutsuki had when he died, he still had that much now.
Given his mastery of Yin-Yang Release, it was possible that he could even increase his Chakra amount in his soul state.
Compared to Madara Uchiha and Kaguya Otsutsuki, this old schemer, who in the original story effortlessly sealed his mother a second time and conveniently resolved the thousand-year fated battle between his elder and younger sons, was the most formidable existence to be wary of.
To this day, Izayoi still couldn't understand why the other party was so targeted towards him.
If he was so wary of Izayoi, then why didn't he act to eliminate him when he was still weak?
However, now was not the time to ponder such things.
After his idealistic sword strike turned the power of the desert into nothingness, the black sword in Izayoi's hand suddenly liquefied into a black sphere, then transformed into a black light beam, shooting down towards the desert below.
Along the way, the black light beam visibly turned golden-yellow, like a golden meteor, instantly seeping into the earth.
Then, a sand Tornado shot up into the sky.
If one looked closely, they would find a white-haired woman inside the sand Tornado, completely unaffected by the Tornado, looking utterly bewildered.
"My connection with this dimension... has been severed!" Kaguya Otsutsuki murmured, her eyes filled with disbelief.
After all, this was something even Hagoromo from a thousand years ago couldn't do.
The reason the battle between the mother and her two sons lasted for several months, with Kaguya Otsutsuki repeatedly escaping danger, was precisely because of Ame-no-Minakanushi and her integration with nature.
Hagoromo from a thousand years ago could only neutralize natural attacks; he simply couldn't achieve this level.
But now, this person who inherited Hagoromo's power could do what Hagoromo himself couldn't.
Could it be that he was related to Hagoromo?
But there was no trace of Karma on him, nor Hagoromo's aura, indicating that he was not Hagoromo's reincarnation or descendant.
Disbelieving, Kaguya Otsutsuki once again used her integration with nature, controlling countless grains of sand to form countless spears and arrows that shot up into the sky, engulfing Izayoi.
In response, Izayoi raised his hand and created a golden-yellow orb of light.
Seeing this, Kaguya Otsutsuki was so startled that she immediately used Ame-no-Minakanushi, disappearing from the Desert Space.
Little did she know, her action had fallen right into Izayoi's trap.
Just as she arrived in the Lava Space from the Desert Space, Kaguya Otsutsuki saw a piece of metal floating before her eyes, and she instinctively paused, slightly stunned.
Immediately after, a familiar figure appeared before her, none other than... Izayoi's Wood Clone.
*Boom——*
Izayoi's Wood Clone, who had been monitoring the Lava Space with his Rinne Tenseigan, almost at the exact moment Kaguya Otsutsuki appeared, used Heavenly Transfer Technique to send the metal object with the Flying Thunder God Technique Formula there. Then, he used Flying Thunder God Technique to appear out of nowhere, raising his hand to unleash a transparent golden-yellow light pillar that pierced through Kaguya Otsutsuki's body.
Kaguya Otsutsuki, struck by the light pillar, did not fly backward but was instead immobilized in mid-air, completely unable to move.
Then, transparent golden-yellow light pillars roared in from all directions, piercing through her body one after another.
Kaguya Otsutsuki's body began to show signs of collapse, unable to withstand the assault.
Seizing this opportunity, Izayoi, who had already arrived in the Lava Space from the Desert Space, immediately created a golden-yellow orb of light, siphoning Kaguya Otsutsuki's Ten-Tails Chakra from a distance.
No matter the Technique, it has a weakness, and Ame-no-Minakanushi is no exception.
This Technique not only has a minuscule cooldown but also requires Chakra to perform.
With her body pierced by light pillars, damaged both externally and internally, Kaguya Otsutsuki was utterly incapable of precisely using her Eye Power to perform Ame-no-Minakanushi.
She couldn't even use Yomotsu Hirasaka, only able to allow Izayoi to extract her Ten-Tails Chakra.
Perhaps due to her lack of combat experience, or perhaps her mind hadn't caught up yet.
Only after a large amount of her Chakra was extracted by Izayoi did Kaguya Otsutsuki react. Black substance immediately surged within her body, forming a massive black sphere that enveloped her, blocking the continuous attacks of several light pillars.
Then, the black sphere vanished into thin air.
However, Izayoi's Wood Clones were now present in all of Kaguya Otsutsuki's Other Dimensions.
These Other Dimensions, relying on the abilities of Sage of Six Paths Mode, were invisible even to the Byakugan.
Yet, the Rinne Tenseigan could cover the entire Shinobi World, even allowing for astonishing long-distance vision beyond the universe. It could precisely pinpoint Kaguya Otsutsuki's location, and with the combination of Heavenly Transfer Technique and Flying Thunder God Technique, Izayoi could appear before Kaguya Otsutsuki in one second and unleash a pre-charged attack.
Kaguya Otsutsuki, accustomed to overwhelming all Techniques with sheer power and relying on her immortality and Kekkei Mōra to fight her two sons, whose stats were far inferior to hers, for several months, simply couldn't adapt to the tactical attacks of later generations.
However, as Izayoi absorbed the light orb containing a massive amount of Chakra, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Then, Izayoi couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems the Progenitor of Chakra was quite frightened."
"But this, exactly suits my intentions!"
Izayoi once again used Yomotsu Hirasaka, teleporting from the Lava Space to the Initial Space.
There, in the Initial Space, a mountain-sized white rabbit was roaring like a beast.
However, this rabbit had ten white tails growing from its back.
The entire Initial Space trembled slightly from its roar.
The green sky continuously shifted colors.
Vast, ocean-like Chakra continuously seeped into the rabbit's body. Although a large amount of Chakra was being drained from it, it still possessed one-third more Chakra than Izayoi. The gap between them quickly widened again.
Booming sounds of thunder continuously echoed, and its ten tails glowed with different lights.
Then, a storm of wind and rain surged towards Izayoi.
However, a closer look would reveal that the strong winds and the curtain of rain shimmered with various colors.
Lightning and floods also materialized out of thin air, striking at Izayoi.
The entire Initial Space resembled a world at its end.
This was clearly a phenomenon transcending even the Ten-Tails... a Cataclysmic Transformation!
These multicolored elements were clearly... the seven Nature Transformations.
The Chakra seeping into the white rabbit's body was the Chakra of the ninjas trapped by Infinite Tsukuyomi.
In this Initial Space, Kaguya Otsutsuki could freely extract Chakra from anyone affected by Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Observing the natural disasters that surged and roared towards him from all directions, Izayoi's expression finally turned grave.
