"Impressive!"
Uchiha Shisui silently praised in awe.
However, in the next moment, Kaguya's headless body passed through a space-time portal and vanished.
Shisui was even more shocked. "Even having her head blown off doesn't faze her. It seems only sealing techniques can work."
Shūichi nodded. "That's indeed the case."
Shisui added, "While my Kotoamatsukami can't fully control her, it can still influence her actions. If we combine it with Obito's Kamui, we might buy enough time for you to seal her."
Shūichi nodded again.
Kaguya's battle instincts weren't remarkable, wasting so many divine abilities.
However, her Yomotsu Hirasaka, a space-time ninjutsu, was troublesome. It was far faster than the time it took Shūichi to activate his Space-Time Gate.
On the other hand, if Obito could utilize both Kamui abilities simultaneously, there might be a chance to prevent Kaguya from escaping.

In the Starting Sphere Dimension
As chakra surged through her, Kaguya's head began to regenerate.
Black Zetsu suggested, "Mother, let's move to the Gravity Dimension. Use that move to precisely eliminate one of them."
"Even if we kill Shūichi, it doesn't matter anymore. We can no longer afford to take risks trying to capture him alive."
Kaguya nodded, anger flickering in her eyes.
Not even in her battle against her two sons had she been this humiliated.
Of course, her current state couldn't compare to the past.
Back then, she possessed power equal to her current state, plus the Ten-Tails.
Now, her consciousness had only escaped the Moon's seal through the Infinite Tsukuyomi and God-Tree World Rebirth techniques.
That's why she needed the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki to resurrect her body instead of descending in full form.
Unless the Sage of Six Paths himself intervened, the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei seal was unbreakable.

In the Glacier Dimension
Obito, just about to open a new space-time portal, suddenly found himself transported to another dimension. His body felt as though it was carrying a mountain, completely immobilizing him.
"What is this…"
Gritting his teeth, Obito spotted Shūichi and Shisui not far away.
Were it not for the Lightened Boulder Jutsu, he doubted he'd be able to move at all.
At that moment, even Shūichi's Truth-Seeking Orbs couldn't levitate. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Shisui and Obito, they faced Kaguya directly.
Crack!
Bone spikes sprouted from Kaguya's back.
She raised her hands, gray bones emerging from her palms, each aimed at Shūichi and Shisui.
Whoosh!
The All-Killing Ash Bones shot toward their targets.
Obito locked onto the two projectiles and activated Kamui.
The one aimed at Shūichi began to warp away, but the other remained on course for Shisui.
Thud!
The bone pierced Shisui's chest. As the bone shattered, so did Shisui's body, crumbling to ash from the point of impact.
Black Zetsu chuckled. "They sacrificed Shisui after all. But Mother, beware of Izanagi!"
As his words fell, Shisui silently reappeared to Kaguya's left, his eyes untouched.
"What? He had prepared Izanagi as well?"
"Still, even so, they can only use it four times at most. Now, only three remain."
Black Zetsu was confident in his analysis.
"In that case, we'll just kill him a few more times!"
Kaguya, assured of her advantage, conjured another pair of All-Killing Ash Bones.
This time, one targeted Shisui, while the other opened a space-time portal.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The bones fired again.
One passed through the portal, emerging behind Shūichi.
Obito turned his head. "It's too late…"
He quickly redirected his focus to Shisui's side.
Kamui!
Behind Shūichi, a black formula lit up as he tossed a kunai beside him.
Flying Thunder God: Guided Thunder!
Opening a Space-Time Gate was too slow, but this technique had already reached perfection.
The bone landed harmlessly nearby.
Kaguya frowned as Obito disappeared from his original position.
"This guy's abilities are too troublesome," she admitted, realizing she had underestimated her opponents.
At that moment, Shūichi took a bold step forward.
"No!"
Black Zetsu shouted. "Mother, the gravity isn't affecting him as much as we thought!"
Kaguya raised her hands again, conjuring two more All-Killing Ash Bones, this time both aimed solely at Shūichi.
She opened a space-time portal, further shortening the distance.
Shisui struggled to his feet, moving toward Shūichi as though to shield him with his own body.
But the space-time portal's precision rendered such efforts futile.
One bone shot from behind, the other from the side.
Shūichi activated the Flying Thunder God formula, redirecting the rear bone, and narrowly dodged the one from the side.
"Shūichi, look out!"
Shisui shouted in alarm.
Shūichi's pupils contracted as Kaguya launched another bone from a different angle, catching him off-guard.
There was no time to evade.
Thud!
The bone struck Shūichi's right arm, rapidly turning his body to ash.
Black Zetsu laughed. "If he doesn't want to die, he'll have to sacrifice one of his eyes. Unless he, too, prepared Izanagi beforehand."
"Mother, next time we must seal their movements first."
Kaguya nodded in agreement.
At that moment, Shūichi reappeared behind Kaguya, his eyes completely intact.
From within Kaguya's sleeve, Black Zetsu sneered coldly as he saw Shūichi's unharmed eyes. "As expected, he used Izanagi in advance."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Kaguya's white hair surged forth like a storm. Although its speed was slow, its sheer volume and needle-like sharpness easily pierced Shisui's body, sealing his chakra points and leaving him unable to use chakra.
Shūichi wasn't spared either, his body similarly impaled by the white hair.
Kaguya's abilities were overwhelmingly powerful. Even Shūichi's resilient physique couldn't withstand the piercing force of her hair.
In this hyper-gravity space, neither Shūichi nor Shisui could summon the likes of Susano'o.
However, thanks to the Lightened Boulder Jutsu, Shūichi's mobility far exceeded Kaguya's expectations.
After immobilizing the two, Kaguya once again charged her All-Killing Ash Bones, now brimming with confidence. This time, her targets were Shūichi and Shisui once more.
Although Shūichi could tear apart the white hair binding him, he refrained.
"The distance... isn't close enough yet!"
The All-Killing Ash Bones fired, striking Shūichi and Shisui with pinpoint accuracy.
Both their bodies disintegrated into ashes.
Yet in the blink of an eye, the two reappeared.
This time, Shisui was only 20 meters away from Kaguya, while Shūichi had closed the distance to about 10 meters.
Kaguya didn't hesitate to repeat her attack. Her white hair, like silk ribbons, unfurled and entangled both Shisui and Shūichi once more.
But suddenly, Shūichi took a step forward, his body inexplicably slipping through the entangling white hair. In the next instant, he grabbed hold of Kaguya's hair, unleashing the violent power within his body.
Breath of Fire, Breath of Thunder, Breath of Earth, Breath of Wind, Breath of Water, Breath of Spirit, Breath of Sun(Yang)!
Black Zetsu cried out in alarm. "Is that Obito's Kamui!?"
Kaguya immediately tried to restrain Shūichi again with her hair, but at that moment, Shisui also broke free of his bindings.
Kotoamatsukami!
Kaguya froze for an instant.
Taking advantage of the moment, Shūichi exerted his strength, pulling Kaguya toward him by her hair.
Due to the hyper-gravity environment, Kaguya's movement was sluggish.
After unleashing his explosive power, Shūichi deactivated the forbidden technique of Natural Breathing. Behind him, the faint outline of a Space-Time Gate began to manifest.
As Kotoamatsukami's influence faded, Kaguya was already within five meters of Shūichi. She raised her hand, conjuring another All-Killing Ash Bone and fired it at him.
This time, the bone pierced straight through Shūichi's body once again.
Yet he took two more steps forward.
Black Zetsu was horrified. "This... is this a Rinnegan dojutsu similar to Obito's ability?"
He urgently warned, "Mother, leave this place now!"
At the same time, Shūichi mentally called out to the nine Tailed Beasts within him. "Everyone, get ready!"
The Tailed Beasts, including Kurama, roared in unison:
"Understood!"
"Don't worry, we've been ready for this!"
"We're in peak condition right now!"
...
Kaguya's Space-Time Portal opened above her head, but Shūichi wrapped his arms and legs tightly around her.
In the next moment, Kaguya vanished from Shisui Uchiha's sight, taking Shūichi with her.
In the Starting Sphere Dimension, a massive surge of chakra flowed toward Kaguya, but Shūichi was faster. He activated Natural Breathing and burned his life force.
"Ahhh!"
Kaguya let out a harrowing scream as Shūichi forcibly tore off the arm where Black Zetsu resided and threw it to the ground.
At the same time, the power of the Nine Tailed Beasts flowed into Shūichi, replenishing the energy he had expended in using Izanagi multiple times, along with his Rinnegan and Sharingan techniques.
Truth-Seeking Orbs reformed around him, and one of them transformed into a black rod that flew out with a whoosh and pinned Black Zetsu to the ground.
Boom!
The power of Kaguya's Byakugan erupted, sending a powerful shockwave that pierced through Shūichi's body.
In response, Shūichi shifted from holding Kaguya from the front to gripping her from behind.
On the ground, Black Zetsu stared in panic. "What is this guy's Rinnegan and Sharingan technique? What kind of power is this?"
Clang!
The Truth-Seeking Orbs transformed into chains wrapped with crackling lightning, binding Kaguya tightly.
"This kind of jutsu is useless against me!" Kaguya shouted. She quickly realized that Shūichi was attempting to use sealing techniques enhanced by the Truth-Seeking Orbs, knowing that ordinary sealing methods would never work on her.
Yet the moment she was fully ensnared, her movements froze.
"How is this possible?"
Shūichi slowly released his hold on her and stepped back, gripping the black chains in one hand. He smirked.
"While this is based on the Truth-Seeking Orbs, it's not a normal ninjutsu. This is Kekkei Mōra!"
"It's a technique founded on Yin-Yang Release and fused with seven chakra nature transformations—a true Kekkei Mōra."
"This move was designed specifically to seal you!"
Whether it was Adamantine Sealing Chains or his self-created Fire Nether Chains, even Madara Uchiha couldn't escape them, let alone Kaguya.
Thus, the "Flash of Insight" Shūichi had earlier was primarily focused on refining his sealing techniques. Or more accurately, it was about developing this Kekkei Mōra sealing method—built on the Truth-Seeking Orbs, Fire Nether Chains, and Electromagnetic Release, empowered by various buffs.
This sealing technique was named Heavenly Net Formation.
The prerequisite for deploying it was the ability to wield Truth-Seeking Orbs. Even though Rinnegan powers could absorb the orbs, close-range contact was crucial to ensure Kaguya couldn't counter it.
Like the Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei, the technique's weakness lay in maintaining proximity.
At this moment, Kaguya was enveloped by a powerful electromagnetic field. Her mental awareness was disrupted, leaving her unable to control her body or chakra.
On the ground, Black Zetsu watched in disbelief as Kaguya, bound by chains in mid-air, was rendered immobile.
"How is this possible?"
"How does he possess a sealing technique capable of restraining Mother?"
In the air, Shūichi held the chains with his right hand and formed a gesture with his left. A Truth-Seeking Orb transformed into another chain, piercing through Kaguya's chest.
With a firm pull, Shūichi began extracting Kaguya's soul from her body.
Black Zetsu's eyes widened in horror. "What is he doing?!"
At that moment, Obito Uchiha appeared alongside Shisui Uchiha. Seeing the scene unfold, Obito let out a sigh of relief.
"It looks like he's succeeding."
Shisui smiled.
Obito asked curiously, "Is he trying to separate Kaguya's soul from her body for sealing?"
Shisui nodded. "That's likely the case. Shūichi wants a permanent solution. Otherwise, if someone else awakens the Rinnegan and gets manipulated, Kaguya might be revived again."
Meanwhile, Shūichi had completely extracted Kaguya's soul.
"Pitiful people often bring misfortune upon themselves. Kaguya, from now on, stay quietly locked away in my memories!"
Clang!
The chains tightened, dragging Kaguya's soul into Shūichi's body.
This shocked both Shisui and Obito.
"This is too dangerous!" Obito said grimly.
Shisui also looked concerned, knowing Shūichi had likely sealed Kaguya's soul into his Memory Palace Sealing Technique.
Kaguya wasn't an ordinary being, after all.
Unbeknownst to them, inside Shūichi's Demonic Realm: Palace of Memories, Kaguya's soul was bound by the Heavenly Net chains and tethered to the God Tree within the palace.
With her soul extracted, Kaguya's body began to transform. It reverted first to the rabbit-like form of the Ten-Tails and then back into Madara Uchiha.
Before Madara could react, Shūichi repeated the process, using the Heavenly Net to extract Madara's soul and seal it into the Memory Palace as well.
With Madara's soul removed, his body reverted into the Ten-Tails form.
Shūichi didn't stop there.
From the Ten-Tails, he extracted each of the nine Tailed Beasts one by one.
Boom, boom, boom!
One by one, the Tailed Beasts landed on the ground, encircling Shisui and Obito.
