Chapter 317: Naruto vs Kaguya Part 1
He appeared next to one of those decayed tree roots. The hole where he found the woman previously could be seen from here.
'She is still there.' He thought she would have been in more of a hurry to chase him down, but she seemed to be giving priority to her own preparations.
'Cautious.' He would have preferred a more impulsive opponent. Those are always easier to deal with.
"Let's go say hi then." Naruto raised his hand in the air, and a minute later, a massive object descended from the sky.
Naruto had used the Rinnegan to pull a rock from orbit and brought it down to Earth, turning it into a deadly meteorite that then proceeded to crash right where Kaguya had been standing.
The impact generated a tremendous amount of heat and covered everything in dust.
For a moment, he lost track of her chakra signature, but didn't get any ideas that such a simple attack had killed her.
Had it done that, her chakra would not have immediately vanished, but instead, it would have remained in place for a while.
'She can manipulate space then.' He reached this conclusion easily, since he could also do something similar.
He then picked up a presence behind him. She was trying to conceal herself and was doing a good job at it. He only felt a faint trace of energy, and she did not even make a tiny sound.
Naruto turned around just in time to see Kaguya trying to pierce his body with some type of projectile that she launched from her hand.
Only half her body was visible, and the other half was inside some black void.
Naruto avoided the projectile and moved towards her. His body was encased in his version of the Raikage's 'Lightning Armor', which greatly increased his speed.
On top of that, he was making full use of the Eight Gates and Sage Mode.
Ground and air exploded around him as he moved at speeds that reached the thousands of miles per second.
A powerful palm strike hit Kaguya on her chest, pushing her inside the void, and Naruto followed through with it before it had the chance to close.
"Mmm?..." He found himself in a completely different area now.
His feet were floating above a pool of molten lava, and he spotted Kaguya landing on some distant boulder.
All around him, there was nothing but an endless molten landscape, with lava and black rocks everywhere.
"How cozy… is this your old home or something?" Naruto commented.
"Naruto Uzumaki… how dare you attack me." Kaguya's body floated in the air.
"Is this the first time someone fights back against you, Grandma?" Naruto asked.
She looked surprised at the comment. "What did you call me?" Kaguya looked closer at Naruto and seemed to realize something. "No… you can't be him…"
"I am not Asura. But his chakra carried over to me during my last reincarnation, giving me many of his memories. And as the son of Hagoromo the Sage, he had some very interesting ones. I didn't recognize you at first, but now I see the similarities. You are his mother, aren't you? The one he sealed in the moon." That would explain why he felt that way while looking at the moon after she broke the seal.
His instincts were warning him of the danger that was approaching.
"You are right, but I don't feel any of his chakra on you… I see… you have changed it into something else," Kaguya said.
"You have done the same with the chakra of the two remaining Bijuus. But I don't mind… I take everything that you have and put it to good use." Naruto extended his hand. "Of course, if you want to just hand it to me, I will make your demise completely painless. I may even allow you to keep a tiny piece so you can live the life of a normal mortal."
Her eyes furrowed into a frown, and a third eye on her forehead opened up. "Do not mock me, boy! I am Kaguya Ōtsutsuki." Her body rose in the air. "I am the progenitor of chakra. All chakra belongs to me and me alone. I shall reunify all chakra once more."
"A greedy one, huh? I don't need all chakra… but I'll take yours." Naruto's body exploded in a burst of golden energy.
Three figures appeared on his left, and another two appeared on his right.
They were similar to him, but not exactly the same. Their clothes and hair color were all different, and they also had a very distinct chakra signature. Each one of them held dominion over one element, as well as part of the Rinnegan's power.
The Naruto with red hair and robes held dominion over fire.
The water one had blue hair and clothes.
Earth was brown.
The lightning one had blue hair and robes.
And finally, the wind clone had green hair and robes.
"More of those clones? Very colorful ones, but that won't help you, so go ahead and bring as many as you want." Kaguya created countless arms made of pure chakra and sent them to crush the clones.
The red-haired Naruto extended his hand. "Almighty Push!" The golden Rinnegan shone brightly as he called upon its power and used it to send away all those chakra arms.
"What?! How can a clone do that?" Kaguya looked startled.
"These are a lot more than mere shadow clones," Naruto said.
Normally, shadow clones were not able to make any use of their eyes, but these new creations were very different. Naruto had designed them to serve as his elite guards.
"Now, it is time to kill a pretender." Naruto vanished from the spot.
