Chapter 345: Rabbit and Lion Chase

Chapter 345: Rabbit and Lion Chase

The speed of his space-time teleportation is incredibly fast!

Kaguya Otsutsuki immediately wanted to escape hastily.

"Mother, solve him here!"

Black Zetsu quickly soothed Kaguya Otsutsuki's nervousness, reminding her that escaping would be futile: "This is your dimension, here is where you have a chance to defeat him!"

"…"

Kaguya Otsutsuki fell silent.

The progenitor of chakra thought for a second, slowly raised her hand. Black Zetsu was right about one thing: only here did she have the hope of fighting Akihara Kagura…

If she kept running…

She would inevitably have to face this battle.

A gleam of determination flashed in Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes. She turned her palm and struck down, her voice quickly becoming cold and resolute!

"Then here..."

"Let's settle this!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki's entire aura turned icy in the sky! The Rabbit Goddess no longer evaded, gathering chakra in her hands as if it were solid, she unleashed her full strength, not daring to be careless!

A violent wind erupted in the desert!

Yellow sand danced in the sky, transforming into massive tornadoes!

Kaguya Otsutsuki's palm suddenly aimed at Akihara Kagura, the tornado shrank rapidly, enveloping his body!

Countless grains of sand, driven by the tornado's powerful wind speed, began to cut Akihara Kagura's body like blades, a force strong enough to reduce a human body to a skeleton!

"A cornered rabbit will bite back..."

Akihara Kagura sighed with an old saying, a mass of lightning danced wildly in the tornado, the thunder instantly tearing the wind apart!

A colossal giant formed of lightning appeared in the desert, roaring as it reached for Kaguya Otsutsuki in the sky, lightning flashing in its giant hand!

"This guy..."

Black Zetsu trembled in fear!

Kaguya Otsutsuki's gaze was cold as she raised her hand.

A gray bone spike emerged from Kaguya Otsutsuki's hand, piercing the lightning giant's hand, reducing it to ashes in an instant!

Under Kaguya Otsutsuki's Byakugan, Akihara Kagura's concealment was revealed; he wasn't hiding in the giant's body, but in its hand!

Nothing could escape the Byakugan's sight!

Akihara Kagura's figure appeared suddenly in front of Kaguya Otsutsuki after the giant dissipated, swinging his fist towards her face!

In an instant, the two engaged in hand-to-hand combat!

A hint of nervousness appeared on Kaguya Otsutsuki's beautiful face. It was her first time fighting someone of Akihara Kagura's level, even though she had seen through his tricks with the Byakugan, she instinctively reached out to catch his fist!

"Mother, don't touch his body!"

Black Zetsu barely managed to warn his mother!

Black Zetsu knew well that Akihara Kagura was skilled in the Flying Thunder God technique. With his devious nature, he would surely leave a Flying Thunder God mark on Kaguya Otsutsuki!

"Huh?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at her hand grasping Akihara Kagura's fist, wondering if it was too late to say this now?

Of course.

The biggest problem in close combat wasn't the Flying Thunder God.

It was that Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra, wasn't good at close combat.

Akihara Kagura saw through Kaguya Otsutsuki's clumsy taijutsu techniques immediately. To someone like him, who could even suppress Uchiha Madara, her taijutsu seemed as na?ve and innocent as a little rabbit...

Akihara Kagura didn't mind his fist being held by her. Taking advantage of their contact, he instantly got closer to Kaguya Otsutsuki's body, his elbow and shoulder repeatedly striking her chest!

The immense force brought by chakra!

In an instant!

Kaguya Otsutsuki had to let go of Akihara Kagura!

The Rabbit Goddess's body was uncontrollably sent flying!

Akihara Kagura's body followed closely, his speed so fast that he stayed beside Kaguya Otsutsuki, reaching to grip her neck!

Akihara Kagura forcibly grasped her neck, grabbing it and pressing her down from the sky into the desert!

Being slammed down by her neck…

Would be too humiliating for Kaguya Otsutsuki!

"Watch out!"

Black Zetsu's warning always came a step too late!

"!!!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her hand, opening a pitch-black portal beneath her, and her figure fell directly into it!

This was her Kekkei Genkai, the Yomotsu Hirasaka!

This technique could easily open portals, allowing her to move freely between dimensions, saving more chakra compared to Amenominaka!

The Rabbit Goddess activated Yomotsu Hirasaka to escape from the desert space at the moment she might have fallen into a humiliating state!

At the same time!

Kaguya Otsutsuki's figure appeared in an ice dimension!

She looked up at the pitch-black portal in the sky, which was closing, with no one coming out from it, she slowly sighed in relief.

"Didn't follow me?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki turned to look at an ice mountain.

The ice mountain was like a mirror, reflecting her current appearance, with a trace of lingering fear on the face of the woman in the ice mirror.

However…

In the ice mirror.

Behind the woman, eerily stood a young man with a smile.

The scene looked extremely terrifying, like finding a stranger with a creepy smile standing by your bed in the middle of the night!

"I arrived a little earlier than you..."

Akihara Kagura extended his finger, indicating. Like a ghost, he had also appeared in the ice dimension, causing both Kaguya Otsutsuki and Black Zetsu to tremble in fear!

"Mother, be careful!"

Black Zetsu warned Kaguya Otsutsuki in terror!

"Too late, isn't it?"

Akihara Kagura gave a light laugh, swung his fist, and struck Kaguya Otsutsuki's body. The Rabbit Goddess, unable to react in time, was directly thrown onto the iceberg!

"!!!"

As Kaguya Otsutsuki's body touched the iceberg, she instantly merged into the ice as if she were passing through a wall!

This was natural integration!

Kaguya Otsutsuki's body could merge directly into any natural environment, using it to launch attacks!

Countless sharp ice spikes emerged from the ground like earth spikes, the attack was lethal! Numerous sharp ice cones fell from the sky, dense and heavy, like rain. The temperature suddenly plummeted, turning the entire ice space freezing cold!

The wind and hail from the sky completely submerged Akihara Kagura's body, instantly forming a glacier that buried him within it. In this terrifyingly cold glacier, Akihara Kagura was frozen like a prehistoric creature, unable to move!

Crack… crack…

A fissure slowly opened on the glacier!

Akihara Kagura instantly shattered the entire glacier. His palm glowed red like magma as he raised it to the sky!

In the next moment, that red magma rapidly expanded!

The entire ice space seemed to host a magma-like planet, which exploded, showering the icy world with magma rain!

"Let's go!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki raised her hand to activate the Yomotsu Hirasaka, quickly opening a dark space-time gate within the iceberg, and fled to another space!

This was a magma-filled space.

The magma flowed quietly through the canyon, with no footholds for humans in this space.

The bubbling magma on the ground emitted heat that could be felt even when hovering above!

This space…

It felt somewhat ominous.

Because she had been forced here by the magma rain in the ice space.

Black Zetsu glanced around the magma space, cautiously saying, "Akihara Kagura excels in Lava Release, this space should be ineffective against him…"

"It's right."

A voice answered in place of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

This guy…

Had pursued them relentlessly!

"Mother!"

Black Zetsu immediately warned Kaguya!

"I see it."

Kaguya Otsutsuki instantly controlled the magma in this space to form a giant, directing it to grab Akihara Kagura floating above her!

Akihara Kagura spread his palm, and an ice spike appeared, striking the magma giant's chest!

Surprisingly…

The ice spike did not melt but instead froze the magma giant, with the ice spreading as if to freeze the entire magma world!

The magma space and ice space seemed to reverse!

However, in any space, Kaguya Otsutsuki's abilities were suppressed by Akihara Kagura, preventing her from using nature to stop his pursuit!

No matter what…

She might not be able to escape!

Yomotsu Hirasaka's space-time gate opened again!

This time, Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't escape but raised her right hand, with gray bone spikes like those of Shikotsumyaku emerging from her back, one piercing from her hand!

In the next moment!

Kaguya Otsutsuki's right hand reached into the space-time gate, opening another dark space-time gate behind Akihara Kagura!

Kaguya Otsutsuki, like a sinister assassin, used the Yomotsu Hirasaka and All-Killing Ash Bones to attempt a sneak attack on Akihara Kagura!

"Really…"

Akihara Kagura seemed oblivious to the space-time gate and the sharp All-Killing Ash Bones behind him, still smiling.

"Naive…"

Akihara Kagura's face showed a mocking expression as he swiftly dodged the All-Killing Ash Bones from the dark space-time gate, grabbing the pale hand releasing the bones!

"Ah!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki never expected this!

Akihara Kagura twisted her wrist, breaking the All-Killing Ash Bone spike, and thrust it back into the pale hand!

"Mother, don't conserve chakra!"

Black Zetsu gritted his teeth, solemnly reminding, "If he seizes your chakra, everything will be lost!"

"Amenominaka!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki's Rinne Sharingan trembled, using Amenominaka to escape the space, not daring to use the chakra-saving Yomotsu Hirasaka!

Amenominaka was faster than Yomotsu Hirasaka!

However, using Amenominaka to instantly transfer to another space consumed much more chakra, unlike the effortless Yomotsu Hirasaka!

"Huff… huff…"

Kaguya Otsutsuki panted in another space!

This panting wasn't from chakra exhaustion, she never got tired, but from fear!

This couldn't continue!

She felt like prey…

Constantly evading a hunter's pursuit!

Black Zetsu, seeing Kaguya Otsutsuki's fear, softly comforted, "Mother, don't worry. We can deplete each other's chakra, but we can replenish through the ninjas in the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

Black Zetsu's words made sense.

In ordinary ninja battles, his idea wasn't wrong.

However…

Kaguya Otsutsuki, after a moment of silence, shook her head, admitting a harsh truth.

"Not enough…"

Even those humans in the Infinite Tsukuyomi…

Even if the combined chakras of those humans and hers were added together, they still wouldn't compare to the immense chakra within Akihara Kagura!

"Battle..."

"I am not his equal..."

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't know how to describe the combat experience and skills of the two. She merely furrowed her brows slightly and brought up another difficulty she faced.

Indeed!

Their combat skills are worlds apart!

Kaguya Otsutsuki...

Her techniques and battle experience are far from sufficient!

If her chakra couldn't surpass that of Akihara Kagura, she might still find a way to turn the tide with combat experience and powerful techniques.

Unluckily...

These are precisely the strengths of Akihara Kagura.

What's more troublesome is...

Black Zetsu is also not skilled in these areas.

Over the millennia, Black Zetsu had been scheming and manipulating events, trying to create a pair of Rinnegan, and never focused on ninja combat...

After all...

Black Zetsu never believed anyone could rival Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Now, someone suddenly appeared who could contend with Kaguya Otsutsuki, leaving Black Zetsu at a loss for how to fight. It always believed Kaguya Otsutsuki's power could crush the ninja world and never considered the possibility of Kaguya being at a disadvantage...

Now...

What should it do?

"Wait..."

Black Zetsu, observing the space they escaped to, suddenly felt something was off: "Mother, I remember this space is..."

"A super gravity space..."

Kaguya Otsutsuki softly answered.

This is a super gravity space where Kaguya can adjust the gravity at will, but everyone, including Kaguya herself, would be constrained by it!

"Run!"

Black Zetsu hastily urged Kaguya, terrified: "That guy is as fast as light, he is skilled in space-time techniques, and this super gravity space will only restrict you!"

"How could it be?"

A voice softly reassured them, as if afraid of scaring them: "Actually, the constraints of this super gravity space affect us all equally. In here, my speed won't be that fast either..."

"Then..."

Black Zetsu finally felt a bit relieved.

The next moment!

Black Zetsu felt its mind go blank!

How could Akihara Kagura's voice suddenly be here!

If previously he followed through Kaguya's Yomotsu Hirasaka space-time portal, it would be understandable. But even Amenominaka couldn't buy them much time!

Kaguya Otsutsuki was even more startled than Black Zetsu, her figure immediately darting into a pitch-black space-time portal!

Origin Space.

This is Kaguya's original space.

This space connects to other spaces and lacks any natural elements, making it the first space where Akihara Kagura and Kaguya appeared in Amenominaka.

As soon as a pitch-black space-time portal opened in the Origin Space, Kaguya's figure hurriedly floated in, nearly stumbling as she landed!

Fortunately.

Someone caught her.

This kind person helped her stabilize her stance.

"Be careful, don't fall..."

"Tha..."

Kaguya Otsutsuki's body instantly stiffened.

In Kaguya's sight, she saw Akihara Kagura smiling warmly. The instigator looked at her as if she were prey that had voluntarily jumped into a trap.

Sure enough...

In this space...

How could there be anyone else?

This space contains only her, the prey, and a hunter chasing her. This hunter is always a step ahead of her!

Whether in Amenominaka or Yomotsu Hirasaka, she is always a step slower than this man, always seeming like prey jumping into a trap!

This space of Amenominaka...

Clearly belongs to her!

"This is mother's world..."

Black Zetsu's voice was somewhat hoarse, unable to articulate well. It straightforwardly asked: "Even in this space, we can't escape your pursuit..."

"Would you like to hear a story?"

Akihara Kagura stood beside Kaguya, speaking with interest: "This is a very old story, about a race between a lion and a rabbit..."

"!!!"

Black Zetsu was startled!

Although Akihara Kagura had just begun the story, Black Zetsu, having lived in the ninja world for thousands of years, had heard of the tortoise and the hare race. It could understand Akihara Kagura's implication, where a tortoise had relatives posing at every checkpoint, scaring the hare into thinking the tortoise was always faster...

"The Akihara Kaguras in those spaces..."

Black Zetsu immediately understood why they were always a step behind: "All of them were your pre-arranged clones..."

"No..."

Akihara Kagura shook his head regretfully, seemingly disappointed that Black Zetsu missed the point: "I just meant to say, the rabbit is destined to be caught by the lion…"
