Beating

"Boom!"

"I was wondering where you had gone; it turns out you were here."

A clear and pleasant voice echoed, prompting the ninja alliance members on the battlefield to open their eyes and peek out from behind their cover. They were immediately stunned, their mouths agape, as they saw the wooden spikes had completely vanished.

In front of them stood a beautiful silver-haired girl, her hair cascading like mist or a waterfall, swaying in the wind. Her flawless skin was as delicate as porcelain, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her pair of white eyes was clear and bright. Below them was a small, delicate nose and rosy lips, leaving people spellbound.

"Sister," Hinata exclaimed joyfully, throwing herself into the arms of the girl before her.

The silver-haired girl before them was none other than Kaguya.

"Must you stand against me?" Uchiha Madara's eyes narrowed, emitting a terrifying light.

Kaguya gently caressed Hinata's head, then turned to face Uchiha Madara atop the Ten-Tails, laughing lightly as she spoke, "I am not standing against anyone; it is you who stands against me."

"Arrogant!" Uchiha Madara shouted, "Do you really think I can't kill you?"

"When you can actually kill me, you can say that," Kaguya retorted with a huff.

The ninja alliance on the battlefield gazed at the girl before them, filled with astonishment. Hearing Uchiha Madara's words, it seemed as though the girl was his equal, or perhaps even more powerful.

Among them, Hiashi Hyuga stared at the silver-haired girl, overwhelmed with emotion. Who would have thought that the little girl he had once taken in would grow to such heights, becoming their savior?

At that moment, news arrived from the command headquarters, causing a stir among those present. They had thought the command center was destroyed in the earlier battle, but it was unscathed. Through communication, they learned that their savior was the silver-haired girl before them. She had blocked the Tailed Beast Ball, preventing any harm to the headquarters.

Everyone turned their gaze toward the silver-haired girl, now with a hint of awe in their eyes. Blocking a Tailed Beast Ball required immense strength.

At this point, the battle between Kaguya and Uchiha Madara—or rather, the Ten-Tails—officially began.

The Ten-Tails stretched out its ten arms, wrapping them tightly around its body, while a red Tailed Beast Ball formed in its mouth, aimed at Kaguya.

Simultaneously, Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara atop the Ten-Tails swiftly performed hand seals, inhaling deeply before exhaling twin torrents of scorching flames. Uchiha Madara's left arm, struck by Kaguya's All-Killing Ash Bones, could not be regenerated, but he had attached a White Zetsu arm. Although it was not as effective as his original arm, it was the best option available.

"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation"

"Fire Style: Blast Wave Wild Dance"

Two torrents of intense flames erupted from the mouths of Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, forming two massive pillars of fire. Enveloping the scarlet Tailed Beast Ball, it surged towards Kaguya like a fiery projectile.

Kaguya's lips curled into a slight smile as she lifted her head, saying, "Since you've decided to get serious, I'll be a little more serious myself."

Suddenly, an overwhelming and terrifying power burst forth from Kaguya. The pale blue chakra enveloped her, dyeing her entire being a light azure hue. Her long hair danced wildly in the air, emitting specks of starlight, resembling dancing azure flames. Simultaneously, an imposing aura erupted powerfully from her.

Kaguya floated into the air, raising her flawless white arm, her lips curling into a faint smile.

"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion."

The Truth-Seeking Ball spun rapidly, generating a powerful storm that roared like a tornado, rushing towards the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Boom!"

Upon collision, a deafening explosion resounded, sending dust and debris flying everywhere. The blast's shockwave blew people around like leaves in the wind.

When the dust settled, the scene that emerged was astonishing.

Kaguya hovered quietly in the air, her silver hair flowing, ethereal and dreamlike.

Meanwhile, the Ten-Tails lay on the ground, with a gaping black hole in its chest and all ten of its arms severed, scattered on the ground.

Kaguya's single strike was overwhelmingly powerful.

The surrounding ninja from the Allied Shinobi Forces were stunned. They never imagined that the Ten-Tails, which they had struggled against for so long, could be so easily defeated. It was simply unbelievable.

"This is too amazing."

"Incredible."

"She looks like she's just in her teens, right?"

"I heard she's also known as the most beautiful woman on the continent."

"What time is it, and you're still thinking about that?"

"Sorry."

However, Kaguya did not relax because she knew this was not the Ten-Tails' complete form; it was still far from its full strength.

Perhaps because she was not the true Kaguya Otsutsuki, Kaguya found that she could not forcibly absorb the Tailed Beast into her body. She had initially hoped to absorb the Tailed Beast, which would greatly increase her power, but it seemed that hope was dashed.

The Ten-Tails got up from the ground, and the large hole in its chest gradually healed until it disappeared completely, and its severed arms were reattached.

The Ten-Tails roared furiously, seemingly enraged, as its body swelled and grew even larger. Its mouth opened wide like a bloodthirsty maw, with a flower-like a Rafflesia growing out, emitting a strange red light.

A red orb appeared suddenly by its mouth, rapidly expanding like a balloon. This was the Tailed Beast Ball, but it was many times larger than the previous ones; if before it was like a quail egg, now it was as large as a globe. The power was several times greater, evident from the tremendous aura it exuded.

In the distance, the shinobi of the Allied Forces watched the battle between the two, their hearts in their throats. This was beyond their ability to intervene; entering recklessly would only cause trouble. All they could do now was pray.

Naruto, who was about to charge forward, was stopped by Sakura, who punched him in the head and dragged him back to prevent him from causing chaos.

"What is there to worry about?" Black Zetsu Lolita frowned, unable to comprehend what there was to be concerned about with Mother present.
