****************

Colt lifted a large stone, and Sukunahikona activated, instantly shrinking it.

The next second, the stone appeared in front of Kaguya and returned to its original size.

Bang!

The sudden attack struck Kaguya's head directly, leaving a large swelling on her forehead. She had no tie to dodge, plus she was caught by surprise.

The rubble here was also no ordinary debris. The strong gravity in the area made each piece weigh as much as a mountain.

But what was even more surprising was the ocular jutsu Colt had just used. That was the reason she was stunned.

"Isshiki's technique...!" Kaguya's pale eyes filled with disbelief and deep fear.

This was a power she would never forget.

'Is he the vessel of that man? Is he back yet or has he not fully taken over?' her thoughts remained unsaid.

"Mother, who's Isshiki?" Black Zetsu was confused.

The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't immediately recall who it was.

Kaguya remained silent, only staring at Colt in shock.

Fear gripped her, making her hesitant to attack.

No one knew the terror of Isshiki Otsutsuki better than her.

Even after consuming enormous amounts of chakra from her journey, she had only dared to strike him from behind.

Yet, despite her ambush, she failed to eliminate him. The guy was that strong.

The reason Kaguya continued to aim for the God Tree even after consuming a chakra fruit was to bolster her strength for the inevitable revenge Isshiki would seek upon his return.

Sukunahikona, the technique Colt had just used, reignited the fear Kaguya had for Isshiki.

"You say I'm Hagoromo one moment, and then claim I'm Isshiki the next. So, who am I really?" Colt asked with a mocking smile.

Kaguya ignored Colt's joke and continued observing him closely.

After a while, her tension eased as she found no signs of that 'seal' on Colt's body.

"You're neither Isshiki nor Hagoromo," Kaguya finally acknowledged Colt's presence.

"Good to know," Colt grinned.

"Shall we continue now?"

Cracking his knuckles, Colt prepared himself.

For Kaguya to submit, he needed to overpower her now.

Only then would she listen.

Kaguya nodded, "Very well."

Swish!

The moment the words left her mouth, Colt vanished, reappearing with a punch aimed directly at Kaguya's face.

The punch carried the power of a black [Chidori], designed to sap her chakra.

"You're sneak attacking a goddess!" Black Zetsu screamed, enraged as he hid in Kaguya's robes.

"Do you have no shame?!"

But Colt didn't answer.

Each of his punches and kicks rained down on Kaguya relentlessly.

The Ōtsutsuki clan was known for their durability, and in this high-gravity space, Colt's speed was so immense that afterimages of him formed as he attacked.

Black Zetsu frantically called out, directing Kaguya where to counter, but it was futile.

Kaguya's combat experience was far too lacking, and she couldn't defend herself from Colt's hardened taijutsu.

Zila!

A black spatial rift formed as Kaguya activated her jutsu.

She slipped through the crack, hoping to find a safe place to recover some chakra.

But could Colt really let her escape?

Like a shadow, Colt followed, both of them entering the desert dimension.

This was the same space Kaguya had previously trapped Sasuke in.

Sasuke, nearly dehydrated after being stuck for so long, looked up to see Kaguya and Colt

battling.

But before he could say anything, Kaguya opened yet another portal.

Sasuke: ...?

'What the hell?! Would I not get out of this sand dimension?!'n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The two fighters appeared next in her mountainous core dimension.

The green sky and red sand contrasted sharply as Kaguya tried to avoid Colt's strikes.

"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!" Kaguya shouted, gathering chakra into her palms and unleashing a barrage of air punches powerful enough to tear the sky apart.

Colt crossed his arms, and a Tear-like mark appeared on his forehead.

Light wings extended from his back as his aura peaked.

He launched a punch of his own.

This was the second stage of Sage Mode, a form Colt had yet to use.

In the first stage, Colt could balance the three energies in his body to access Sage Mode at will, boosting all his abilities.

But the second stage allowed the Sage chakra to burn within him, amplifying all the boosts

even further.

Boom!

The sound of glass shattering filled the air as cracks appeared in space itself.

Colt's punch shattered Kaguya's barrage and sent him rocketing forward, leaving a trail of

destruction in his wake.

Kaguya's fear grew.

Colt now resembled a volcano on the verge of eruption.

She extended her palms, two gray-black bone spears emerging as she fired them at Colt.

[All-Killing Ash Bones], one of her deadliest techniques.

Anyone struck by it would disintegrate into ash within seconds.

But Colt didn't dodge. Instead, he accelerated!

A blue chakra dragon coiled around him, and he stood at its head, charging forward!

Finally, the chakra dragon collided with Kaguya's bone spears.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The sound of metal clashing filled the air as the shockwave of their clash spread out. The dimension began collapsing under the immense pressure, turning even boulders into dust.

Kaguya could only watch in dismay.

While she was reluctant, Kaguya quickly made a decision.

Outside in the ninja world, the God Tree suddenly began expanding and contracting,

transferring its power to Kaguya.

Back in the dimension, the ground shattered, and blue chakra surged violently.

Kaguya's body swelled and transformed into a white sphere.

The faces of the nine-tailed beasts appeared on its surface before darkness engulfed it,

forming a massive Truth-Seeking Ball!

Colt, still holding off the [All-Killing Ash Bones], clenched his fist tighter.

"I don't like how you look right now. Let's get you back to normal!" he shouted as he prepared

his final attack.
