A battlefield where Naruto, Kakashi, Guy, and Killer Bee, inside Gyuki, face a mysterious man in a white mask calling himself Uchiha Madara.
Night falls like a deep dark net, quietly cast, blanketing the entire land.
It’s late, but this night doesn’t seem like it will be quiet.
“ROAR!!!” Earth-shattering roars echo endlessly from here.
Obito, wearing a white mask and pretending to be “Uchiha Madara,” swings his fan.
His dark robe billows in the wind, and the Gedo Statue behind him is roaring furiously.
RUMBLE—!!!
Debris around floats in the air, shaken loose by the Gedo Statue’s immense and overflowing chakra.
At this moment, all nine of its eyes have opened!
Dark, strange purple markings are carved onto its wooden body.
The Gedo Statue seems to be in great pain, holding its head, its nine open eyes bloodshot.
Only Uchiha Obito, standing before the Gedo Statue, knows that none of the materials he had it devour were complete Tailed Beasts.
Part of the One-Tails’ sand, the Two-Tails’ fire rat, fragments of the Three-Tails’ chakra-infused shell, the Four-Tails’ fur… Gyuki’s tentacles, and the Kinkaku brothers who consumed part of the Nine-Tails’ chakra.
Obito used these scraps to assemble the Gedo Statue, but its weak and broken chakra is nowhere near enough to revive it as the Ten-Tails.
So the Gedo Statue is forced to painfully open its nine eyes, rushing to transition into the weakest form of the Ten-Tails.
The masked man seals hand signs.
His reason is that he never intended to revive Uchiha Madara, nor did he ever want Uchiha Madara to carry out his “Moon Eye Plan.” Obito isn’t stupid; he knows the price of reviving Madara requires his own death.
As a youth, upon learning this, he became even more resolved not to revive Madara.
He also knows Madara was reanimated by Kabuto using Edo Tensei before, and now he has broken free from the Edo Tensei contract, completely regaining his freedom.
Black Zetsu must have given Madara’s body to Kabuto!
That scoundrel!
Obito’s eyes under the mask gradually fill with anger.
He surveys his surroundings, assessing the current situation.
Naruto, Gyuki, Nine-Tails, Kakashi, Guy—these people are on his side.
His objective has been largely achieved.
Now, all he needs to do is lure out Black Zetsu.
And then seal him away completely!
RUMBLE—!!!
The ground cracks endlessly.
The Gedo Statue behind him stands up, howling and clutching its head.
Obito holds his fan horizontally across his chest, ready to defend against any attack from the other side.
At this moment, he keenly senses two untamed, furious chakras rapidly approaching!
And they’re only getting faster!!
Obito quickly shifts his position, raising the Uchiha fan he held at his chest to his side, preparing to brace for the impact of the two chakras landing.
Meanwhile, Naruto and the others, positioned opposite the Gedo Statue, stare this way with grave expressions.
Due to the immense pressure from the Gedo Statue, Naruto hasn’t activated Sage Mode, so they haven’t sensed the approaching chakras.
Compared to Guy and Naruto’s serious and solemn expressions, Kakashi’s looks much more relaxed.
Although he stands on Gyuki’s head in a ready stance, anyone who senses carefully would notice that Kakashi’s chakra is not circulating energetically; it’s far from being ready for battle.
Gyuki looks at the Gedo Statue opposite him, which has become frenzied and opened its eyes, with some surprise.
He suddenly remembers something and becomes a bit dejected: “Ah… a tentacle of mine… (๑ŏ ŏ๑)” “Miscalculated… (๑ó﹏ò๑)” Just then.
A blue light, enveloped by immense chakra, streaks rapidly across the sky towards them.
SHOOOM— It’s approaching at a visible speed, and one can even see the arcs of lightning emanating from the Lightning Release chakra wrapped around it!
“That is…!” Naruto’s expression is grim.
He notices the meteor flying their way.
He’s currently channeling chakra into the soles of his feet to keep him stable against the violent shaking of the ground.
He points at the white meteor flashing with lightning and shouts to Kakashi on Gyuki’s head: “Kakashi-sensei!!
That!!
It has enormous chakra!” Kakashi casually glances up.
Just as he’s about to nod, he suddenly tenses up, and the chakra in his body begins to circulate rapidly: “Hmph… That is!
Everyone be careful!!” He shouts to Guy, who is standing on the other side of Gyuki.
Using his evolved Mangekyo Sharingan, he observes that the meteor carries two incredibly terrifying ocular powers!
Then, one of them… “That meteor is another Uchiha Madara!!” Kakashi shouts his warning to the remaining individuals.
He pulls a kunai from his ninja pouch and skillfully begins to wrap it with Lightning Release chakra.
BOOM—!!!!
The blue light, accompanied by a roar, instantly blinds everyone’s eyes!
“Is it here?!” A massive meteor crashes beside Obito.
Crackling arcs of electricity and immense chakra shatter the surrounding ground.
Debris, entwined with lightning, slowly rises from the dust kicked up by the impact, defying gravity.
Obito quickly raises his fan, forcefully intercepting the impact force of the meteor’s landing.
The fan absorbs the great force and begins to glow faintly white.
Before the dust has completely settled.
A figure slowly rises from the crater created by the impact, bits of paper still faintly floating around him.
Obito narrows his eyes, seizing the moment.
Chakra gathers in his fan, and he swings it around, unleashing a wind jutsu towards the “meteor crater” sparking with electricity!
BOOOOM—!!!
The massive wind bullet slams into the figure, instantly destroying half of his body.
The figure stumbles, then a furious roar comes: “Uchiha… Obito!!!” At this moment, the dust clears.
Uchiha Madara glares furiously at Obito wielding his fan.
Bits of paper flutter from his damaged shoulder, mending him.
It turns out that when Ishikawa attacked Madara with immense Lightning Release chakra, Madara reacted and was preparing to use his Sealing Technique: Amaterasu to absorb it.
He never expected the Lightning Release to be a feint; the real attack was Ishikawa’s taijutsu!
Ishikawa’s Rising Dragon Fist struck Madara squarely in the chest, preventing the Amaterasu from being released in time.
The powerful Lightning Release chakra generated propulsion, and Madara and Ishikawa vanished from their spot, becoming a meteor in the sky.
“Heh, good thing I dodged quickly.” Another voice comes from behind Madara.
Madara slowly turns to look.
He sees Ishikawa tugging at the hem of his armor, having dodged and hidden behind him, making him take the full blast of the wind jutsu.
Madara looks at Ishikawa, his eyes now burning with uncontrollable rage, his teeth grinding.
— Inside a dark cave.
Sasuke sits on a high pile of rubble, holding a scroll of documents that Suigetsu handed him.
