Naruto detached from the consciousness space of the Tailed Beasts and returned to reality.
He kept his eyes closed. When he opened them again, his entire body was enveloped in Nine-Tails' chakra. His hair rose up forming two horn-like points, and six tomoe appeared around his collar.
Naruto now fully understood the Nine-Tails, who gave him all its chakra. Because of this, Naruto could achieve Complete Transformation, becoming the perfect Jinchūriki.
At the same time, with help from the Tailed Beasts sealed within the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Naruto successfully snapped the chains binding him.
Shindai let out a sigh of relief when he saw Naruto break free from the chains.
Looks like the Nine-Tails finally came to its senses... or rather, decided to act reasonably for once.
Madara Uchiha was also surprised to see Naruto had broken free: "Unexpected. Even those beasts refuse to stay subdued. But no matter how desperately you resist, it won't change the outcome."
Naruto held his stomach, looking firmly at Madara Uchiha: "That's where you're wrong! I'll defeat your plans for all the Tailed Beasts too! I even remembered all those impossible-to-keep-track-of names!"
At that moment, Sasuke appeared beside Naruto.
Sasuke glared sharply at Madara Uchiha: "I swear on my life—I won't let you leave this place alive!"
Shindai noticed Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan and became extremely excited: "It worked! Finally time to ride on someone else's coattails!"
Hikaku Uchiha and Pakura looked puzzled at the overly excited Shindai. Even if Naruto and Sasuke obtained new powers, they weren't sure it would give them an advantage. After all, Madara's abilities were just too powerful.
"Heh, seems you still haven't recognized the gap between us."
Madara immediately used the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to attack everyone.
The protrusions on the back of the Demonic Statue fired massive lightning bolts in all directions.
Moreover, having absorbed the power of the Tailed Beasts, the Demonic Statue could now launch a Tailed Beast Ball, continuously devastating the surrounding area.
"Brother!"
"Let's go!"
[Susanoo! Twin Deities Descend!]
[Immortal Descending from the Heavens!]
Itachi and Sasuke activated Susanoo simultaneously!
Itachi's Susanoo attacked using the Eight Trigrams Sword combined with Sasuke's Kagutsuchi, and then Sasuke maneuvered his Susanoo high into the sky. He channeled Chidori and Amaterasu into the great sword of Susanoo and slashed down onto the Demonic Statue.
The Demonic Statue crashed heavily to the ground.
Naruto turned toward Minato Namikaze: "Dad!"
"I'm ready!"
Minato Namikaze hurled several Flying Thunder God Kunai at Madara Uchiha.
Meanwhile, Naruto entered his Complete Transformation and released a Tailed Beast Ball.
Instantly, Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport both himself and Naruto behind Madara, where the Tailed Beast Ball directly hit Madara Uchiha.
Seeing this, Shindai couldn't help but shout in excitement.
That's the way to go—only Naruto and Sasuke could pull something like this off!
Naruto and Sasuke immediately felt the effects after obtaining their new powers.
Everyone else was filled with excitement as well.
However, everyone had been too optimistic. This current Madara Uchiha was not just one with a single Rinnegan—but two!
Madara Uchiha took a direct hit from a Tailed Beast Ball and stood there unscathed, like nothing had happened.
This was because his Rinnegan phases were active again, blocking most of the attack's power through their shadow forms.
Naruto formed a Wind Release: Rasenshuriken in his palm and hurled it straight toward Madara Uchiha.
Sasuke's eyes widened. "Kagutsuchi!"
Naruto's Rasenshuriken burned with Amaterasu's black flames as it shot straight at Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha swung the war fan in his hand.
"Uchiha Return!" he roared.
After deflecting the combined jutsu from Naruto and Sasuke, he unleashed an extremely violent gust of wind from the war fan, sending the Five Kage and Itachi flying away.
Suddenly, Obito appeared beside Madara Uchiha and shouted forcefully,
"Kamui!"
At the same moment, Naruto and Sasuke emerged from Kamui's space, slamming their Rasengan and Chidori into Madara Uchiha.
As Madara Uchiha activated his Uchiha Return, Obito sucked Naruto and Sasuke back into Kamui's dimension, then turned intangible to approach Madara undetected, planning to strike him by surprise.
It was a good plan—but it failed.
Because right now, four Rinnegan phase shadows surrounded Madara Uchiha.
In an instant, both Obito, Naruto, and Sasuke were caught within the control of Madara's shadow clones.
Madara released chakra-based Black Receivers, directly piercing through Sasuke's and Obito's hearts.
Meanwhile, countless Black Receiver rods pinned down Naruto's limbs, completely immobilizing him.
Everyone froze in shock—especially Shindai.
No way! Just when things started looking up, how could everything fall apart so suddenly?
Shindai forced himself to stay calm. It's fine… this means Naruto and Sasuke will get even stronger powers again…
Like hell it is!
Shindai screamed desperately, "Obito!"
Hikaku Uchiha and Pakura couldn't stop Shindai, who rushed forward with bloodshot eyes toward Madara Uchiha. At the same time, someone burst from the other side of the battlefield—Kakashi.
Minato Namikaze and Itachi dashed over anxiously as well.
Madara Uchiha stood atop Naruto's body, exuding invincibility and arrogance. He declared, "You are all fools beyond measure. I am done playing with all of you."
[Shinra Tensei!]
Madara Uchiha released a powerful repulsive force, clearing everything around him.
Then, Madara made a hand seal, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path once again released chains. Because the Black Receivers disrupted Naruto's internal chakra, the Nine-Tails couldn't work together with him to resist the chains. They dragged him away.
In one swift motion, the Nine-Tails was brutally ripped from Naruto.
Then Madara Uchiha turned his gaze toward another direction on the battlefield—toward B.
Madara, along with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, made his way toward B, preparing to seal the Eight-Tails within.
Shindai, Kakashi, Minato Namikaze, and Itachi once again arrived beside Obito, Naruto, and Sasuke.
Sasuke and Obito clung to life, while Naruto, having been stripped of the Nine-Tails, had already stopped breathing.
Minato stared at the three in disbelief: "How… how could this happen?"
Sasuke looked at Itachi with glassy eyes: "Sorry... brother... it looks like this is where I end."
Itachi, who had always kept his composure, gazed at the dying Sasuke as tears silently slid down his face: "Sasuke..."
Obito looked at Shindai and Kakashi, whose eyes had turned red, and managed a weak smile: "I was just trying to put on a bit of a performance... but look where that got me."
Clinging tightly to Obito, Shindai shouted: "Sage of Six Paths! You ancient geezer, come out now! Give Naruto and Sasuke power — quick! Don't let Obito die!"
Believing that Shindai couldn't accept the deaths of Naruto and the others, Hikaku Uchiha and Pakura placed their hands on his shoulders, their eyes heavy with sorrow.
"Naruto!"
"Obito!"
"Sasuke!"
Far away from the battlefield, Kushina Uzumaki, Hinata, Rin Nohara, and Sakura had been locked in battle when they were suddenly overcome with dread. Rushing over immediately, they found Naruto without a pulse and Obito and Sasuke barely clinging to life. The four of them nearly fell to their knees in shock.
