Uchiha Madara did not stop attacking. Although the Sage Art technique was powerful, it was not enough to kill Kaguya. He continued forming hand seals at a speed so fast that only a blur of his fingers could be seen.
As expected, while he was forming seals, Kaguya emerged from the dark electric light unscathed, without a single mark on her body, and even her short kimono embroidered with pink cherry blossoms remained undamaged. Just as she was about to reach Madara, his technique was completed.
"Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang."
Madara spat a blinding white chakra beam from his mouth, resembling a laser, aiming straight for Kaguya's chest.
Yet Kaguya remained expressionless, raising her flawless arm, palm facing the incoming chakra beam. As they collided, the chakra beam was cleaved in two, scattering into multiple rays that refracted like dispersed water jets, spreading in different directions.
The attack, though seemingly powerful, had little effect on Kaguya. It only slightly delayed her movements, which was all Madara needed. His intention was to stall for time, allowing his Limbo: Border Jail shadows sufficient time to regenerate.
"Sage Art: Lightning Cage Border Jail."
Five shadows of Six Paths Madara instantly appeared around Kaguya, shooting countless black lightning bolts from their palms, which struck her in an instant. The lightning crackled and danced like silver snakes, producing a sharp, crackling sound.
The black lightning temporarily hindered Kaguya's movements. Seizing this moment, the five shadows closed in on her, delivering a powerful punch. Kaguya blocked with her arms but was still knocked into the air. Before she could hit the ground, Madara delivered a heavy blow, sending Kaguya plummeting to the ground like a meteor.
With a deafening crash, the ground caved in, rocks shattered into fragments that flew in all directions, and thick smoke billowed, filling the sky with dust that obscured vision.
Madara did not stop there. With a slight smile, he formed hand seals and said with a smirk, "It seems the rain is a bit heavy."
Suddenly, the clouds parted, revealing six massive, flaming meteors plummeting rapidly toward Kaguya.
"Chibaku Tensei."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The enormous meteors slammed into the ground with earth-shattering force, unleashing a blinding light in the sky. The ground trembled violently, rocks pulverized to dust. A visible shockwave spread outwards, creating a massive surge of air. In an instant, everything within a ten-kilometer radius was leveled, including trees, rocks, and even mountains. Dust filled the air, with thick smoke and flames rising skyward.
Madara watched the devastation below, the flames raging, and his lips curled into a smile. With such an attack, even he would suffer severe damage, and that little girl was unlikely to fare any better.
However, just as Madara believed he had secured victory, a strong sense of danger struck from behind. Madara's eyes widened in shock, his pupils shrinking. He realized something was wrong, but before he could evade, a sharp pain pierced his chest.
At some point, a small snow-white hand extended from Madara's chest, and crimson blood dripped down from the hand's crystalline fingers.
Madara spat out a mouthful of blood and coughed several times, turning his head with difficulty. What met his eyes was a cold and breathtakingly beautiful face.
This guy...
Madara gritted his teeth, glaring at Kaguya. He hadn't anticipated that this girl in front of him could emerge completely unharmed from such a fierce attack. There wasn't even a trace of injury or the smell of burning on her, as if the previous attack had no effect on her at all.
The Rinne Sharingan on the girl's forehead had constantly piqued his interest. Such an eye is not something just anyone can possess. Could it be that this person is...
Madara's pupils contracted, and suddenly, he realized something terrifying—his chakra was rapidly draining from his body, flowing into the silver-haired girl before him, and he couldn't stop it.
Madara's eyes widened in shock, sweat streaming down his forehead. He used all his strength to try to break free, but it was as if his body had lost control. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move an inch, and could only watch helplessly as his chakra flowed out of his body like a stream.
The vibrant-colored chakra flowed along his arm into Kaguya's body. This rainbow-like chakra was the chakra of the nine-tailed beasts. As the chakra flowed out, Madara's body grew increasingly weak, and the determination in his eyes gradually faded.
He felt a deep sense of unwillingness in his heart, as he was just one step away from completing his plan...
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed, and all the chakra within Madara had been completely drained. Kaguya tossed the chakra-depleted Madara aside, and he landed heavily on the ground like a broken rag doll.
"How... how could this be?" Madara lay on the ground, blood seeping from his mouth and nose. He seemed barely conscious, speaking with difficulty. What had happened before him was beyond his imagination and comprehension.
"Congratulations, Mother."
A twin-tailed blonde girl slowly approached Kaguya from a distance, her face beaming with a joyful smile because her mother had finally regained her former power. But when she saw Kaguya's expression, her voice stopped abruptly, because she realized the person before her seemed so unfamiliar, unlike her mother.
No, that's not quite right. If she were to describe it, it would be the mother from a very, very long time ago.
Kaguya glanced at the blonde girl with clear eyes but said nothing. She walked slowly toward the ninja alliance, whispering coldly, "Chakra... all mine," her voice low and icy.
