Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

"Rabbit hair needle!"

Countless sharp strands of hair transformed into a dense rain of needles, colliding violently with the cross-shaped slash.

But the moment those strands of hair came into contact with the black flames and lightning, they were easily cut off and burned like withered grass.

The slash was unstoppable, striking Kaguya hard.

"boom--!!!"

The earth cracked open again, dust billowed up, and a bottomless crater was smashed into the ground.

Sasuke didn't stop. He hovered above the giant crater, his twin swords flashing like afterimages.

Countless dark crescent moons and dazzling lightning bolts poured down like a torrential rain, bombarding and baptizing the giant crater again and again.

Since her regenerative abilities have been suppressed, then we will crush her completely with absolute power!

"Aaaaaahh ...

From the depths of the giant pit came Kaguya's painful screams.

After an unknown amount of time, the offensive finally ceased.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

The pitiful figure at the bottom of the pit was revealed.

The magnificent robe had been blown to shreds, leaving only a few tattered pieces hanging on her body, revealing large patches of scarred skin.

Her left arm and right leg were gone, the severed parts were bloody and mangled, and they were still writhing, trying to regenerate.

However, the rate of regeneration was significantly slower than before, and could even be described as difficult.

Clearly, that barrage of attacks had not only severely damaged her body, but also depleted her chakra to a dangerous level.

"you......"

Kaguya struggled to lift her head; her face was covered in dust and blood, making her look utterly disheveled.

As she watched Sasuke descend from the sky, she seemed to see, in a daze, the two sons who had betrayed her a thousand years ago.

Hagoromo...Hamura...

And so, with that cold gaze, she pushed herself into the abyss.

"Why..." Kaguya's voice trembled, filled with confusion and resentment, "Why would even you betray me..."

"betray?"

Sasuke stopped ten meters in front of her, the "Indra" in his hand pointing diagonally at the ground. "I have never been loyal to you, so how can I betray you?"

He looked at Kaguya with a cold gaze.

"It's over, progenitor of chakra."

"Do not......"

Kaguya shook her head, her body instinctively retreating until her back pressed against the cold stone wall, with nowhere left to go.

"This is my nursery...it's mine..."

She muttered to herself, the fear in her eyes gradually transforming into a hysterical madness.

"I cannot be sealed away again...and I will never be sealed away again!"

She never wanted to experience the feeling of being imprisoned on the moon, spending a thousand years in endless darkness and loneliness!

"Absolutely brilliant!"

She suddenly screamed, her voice piercing and shrill.

Black Zetsu, who had been trembling in her sleeve, suddenly emerged. Looking at Kaguya's crazed eyes, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"Mother?"

Give me your power!

Kaguya's voice turned hysterical, and her only remaining right hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Black Zetsu's dark body.

"Wh-what?!" Black Zetsu was stunned.

It is not only Kaguya's will, but also a product of her creation; its purpose is to resurrect her mother.

But it never imagined that its mother would "use" it in this way.

"Mother! What are you doing?!" Black Zetsu screamed in terror. "I am your most loyal child!"

"Since he is my child, then he should give everything for his mother!"

Kaguya suddenly ripped open the front of her shirt and shoved Black Zetsu into her gaping mouth.

"Gurgle..."

With a chilling swallowing sound, Black Zetsu's voice abruptly stopped.

Its jet-black body was completely devoured, transforming into the purest Yin-Yang Release chakra, which merged into Kaguya's body.

After absorbing Black Zetsu, Kaguya's aura stabilized somewhat.

The severed limbs began to regenerate rapidly, and the previously depleted chakra was also replenished.

But her mind seemed to become even more confused after this absorption.

"Hagoromo...Hamura..."

Kaguya raised her head and looked at Sasuke, her eyes becoming unfocused and confused.

She seemed unable to distinguish who the person in front of her was, only mistaking him for her two sons whom she both loved and hated.

"Why did you betray me...?"

Tears slid down her pure white eyes, dripping onto the dust.

"I just want to protect you, to protect this land..."

"Those extraterrestrials will return... They will take everything..."

"I've given so much for this world, why do you all treat me like this...?"

Her voice was filled with endless grievances and sorrow, like a mother abandoned by her child, protesting the injustice of fate.

Sasuke watched her insane and pathetic state with a complex expression, his grip on the sword tightening slightly.

As a god with immense power, he lived such a humble and fearful life.

The fear of being hunted down by his own people, the pain of being betrayed by his son, and the endless loneliness that has lasted for thousands of years...

All of this turned her into a monster who only knew how to pursue power and use force to cover up her inner fears.

"How pathetic."

Sasuke sighed softly, the complex emotions in his eyes finally turning into a calm.

"But that's the end of it."

Chapter 262 The matter is settled, the progenitor of chakra absorption

"It's no use! I'm immortal!"

Kaguya seemed to be provoked by those words, and she suddenly raised her head, her face once again contorted with madness.

"This land, this chakra, are all part of me! As long as they exist, I will never disappear!"

She screamed and stretched out her newly regenerated hands.

"Let's kill Ash Bones!"

Several grayish-white bone spurs grew wildly from her palm, reaching out in a final, desperate attempt to fight back.

"Kid, be careful." Yoruichi's voice rang in Sasuke's ears. "Although she's acting crazy right now, this power is no joke."

"And..." Yoruichi scanned the surrounding space, "Do you have a way to completely eliminate her? This old woman's vitality is simply unbelievably tenacious."

"Even if we eliminate her, how we get out of this hellhole is a big problem."

Sasuke ignored him.

He simply extended his right hand slowly, his five fingers loosely clenched.

"Om-"

Dark flames suddenly ignited in the void, rapidly gathering and compressing.

It was not the sword named "Indra".

Instead, it is an energy blade formed entirely from highly condensed black flames, similar to a "shadow clone".

Sasuke gripped the black flame blade, his arm muscles tensing, and then hurled it forward with a mighty thud!

The black blade transformed into a streak of dark light, aiming straight for Kaguya's chest.

Without any hindrance.

The blade struck Kaguya Otsutsuki squarely in the chest, penetrating her body but not piercing her through—after entering her body, the blade dissipated into black flames, remaining inside Kaguya Otsutsuki's body.

The power of "Indra" erupted completely at this moment.

Black flames raged within Kaguya's body, mercilessly destroying her internal organs and meridians, and scorching her chakra.

"Uh...ah..."

Kaguya abruptly stopped moving and let out a painful groan.

Her body began to tremble violently, and strange bulges appeared on her skin, as if something was rampaging inside her.

But the injury still didn't take her life.

As the black flames destroyed her internal organs, an even greater life force surged from her body.

A new heart, new lungs, new blood vessels...

Rapidly reborn from destruction.

Black flames destroy, and self-renewal occurs.

She was thus trapped in this endless cycle of life and death, suffering, yet unable to break free.
