Chapter 319: Naruto vs Kaguya Part 3
Kaguya began tearing through his clones, using her Truth-Seeking Orbs to decimate those who tried to use any jutsu against her, while using her own hair and two bone spikes that protruded from her hands as weapons to kill anyone close enough.
Her portals could also be used as weapons, sending masses of clones away to be locked in different dimensions.
Meanwhile, the real Naruto observed the fight from the sky, waiting for his opportunity. He knew well enough that the clones were not going to be enough against an opponent such as this one, but that was not to say they were useless either.
'There…' Naruto spotted a tiny opening in her moves and used the full power of his Flying Thunder God to appear beside her.
His hand managed to touch the skin on her right hand and immediately formed several runic seals over its surface.
Kaguya noticed the contact and tried to move away, but the moment she did this, the hand that Naruto had touched… exploded.
"Ahhh!" Kaguya screamed in agony. She had never experienced pain like this before.
No one had been able to injure her in such a way since the day she was born.
"You damn insects! You dare?!" She made her chakra form a shockwave that pushed everything away from her.
It was a desperate move to create some distance so she could teleport away.
Naruto dispelled all his clones. They were no longer necessary. "You can't escape from me anymore." The seals he drew on her hand did more than just cause her damage. They also left behind a trace that he could follow.
Using this trace as a jumping point, Naruto teleported away.
He now found himself in a barren land with a red sky over his head.
"Human!" Kaguya screamed at him. She sounded completely enraged now.
When Naruto looked at her, she was floating in the air. A massive orb of energy was hovering above her.
It was similar in nature to the Truth-Seeking Orbs that she had been using, and it contained all chakra natures combined into one.
Naruto noticed that it was continuously expanding, and with a quick estimation of its destructive power, he calculated that it would be enough to destroy this entire pocket dimension.
'I see… so her plan is to bury me along with this place she created.'
"Foolish… that won't be enough." Naruto said.
"This dimension will be your tomb, you impertinent pest!" The Rinne-Sharigan eye on her forehead opened wider and its tomoes started to spin rapidly.
Naruto felt his senses being attacked, just like during his fight with Itachi.
'Genjutsu.'
He saw visions of possible futures. Living peacefully with his companions, ascending to Godhood, and exploring the Heavens. Eating a mountain of ramen at Ichiraku.
These were nothing but representations of his inner desires.
'A distraction.' He rejected the illusions and pushed against the genjutsu.
His mind and soul had been reinforced by all of his cultivation, so even a mental attack of this level would not be capable of disabling him.
His eyes readjusted to reality. Only a second or two must have passed, but it had been enough for Kaguya to complete her 'Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb' and send it toward him.
'No time for fancy techniques. Fight fire with fire.' He was also capable of creating these pure chakra orbs since his last breakthrough.
A black orb manifested in his hand and began growing in size as he made the energy rotate. Naruto then added a large amount of natural energy from his reserves. This created some white traces across the surface of the orb.
"Sage Arts… Truth-Seeking Rasengan."
The massive sphere of energy was on him already. He pushed his own attack and made them collide.
The impact of the two Truth-Seeking Orbs generated a powerful explosion that seemed to destroy everything in the surroundings, enveloping reality in darkness.
Naruto made use of his powers to create a chakra shield around him and protect himself from harm.
He caught a glimpse of Kaguya narrowly escaping as reality collapsed around him. The existence of the pocket dimension was ending, and he needed to leave before it was too late.
His cultivation flared up, and he became covered in an intense golden aura that enhanced all his natural abilities. Naruto then flew as fast as he could and managed to pass through the portal that Kaguya had created before it had a chance to close.
"This is…" He was sure from the first second he was out. This was the real world.
Naruto was once more in the place where it all started.
His eyes detected movement and found Kaguya levitating out of the hole where the remnants of the God Tree were left.
He flew towards her and managed to catch up in a second. His right fist became coated in his chakra and punched her back.
Kaguya let out a grunt and went tumbling over the ground.
It became immediately obvious that her last stunt had left her exhausted.
"This… this is all your fault…" She glared at Naruto with narrowed eyes. "My resurrection was incomplete because you had taken what was mine. Zetsu was supposed to only bring me when he— urgg!"
Naruto appeared right next to her and kicked her in the gut.
"I'm not interested in hearing your excuses. You were already defeated by the Sage back then, and now you lost again. Second chances are very rare… and you wasted yours."
He moved again.
Kaguya reacted this time. Her hair grew in length and tried to intercept Naruto, while deadly bone spikes appeared from the palms of her hands.
"Just die already!"
Naruto's body disappeared over and over, avoiding all her attacks while finding openings to counterattack.
Each of his punches was charged with his pure natural energy and left behind seals that restricted Kaguya's movements.
Eventually, the Goddess fell on her knees, unable to defend herself any longer.
This is when Naruto went for the final blow.
"It's over… you are mine now." He placed his palm on her head. "Cosmic Assimilation… Absorb!"
