Shindai immediately used his Magnet Release, while Pakura employed her Scorch Release. Together with Hikaku Uchiha's Amaterasu, they crushed the wooden humanoid in an iron sand whirlwind as it reached toward Shindai.
"Worthless! Is this all you've got? Without Yamato as a host, what exactly do you plan to fight me with, you useless parasite? Does your mother even know about the dirty deeds you're doing—skulking around like a sewer rat? Probably not, right?
After all, Kaguya Otsutsuki is such a powerful being. If she knew her child had turned out like this, she'd definitely consider it a disgrace. She might've even eliminated you herself. In Kaguya's eyes, only the Sage of Six Paths and his younger brother were truly her children. You claiming to be Kaguya's son... isn't that just wishful thinking?
Calling yourself Kaguya's child must just be some desperate attempt to protect your fragile ego! Black Zetsu, say something, Black Zetsu! Don't just stand there silently! Even parasites have the right to cry, you know. I won't laugh at you—I promise, hahaha~"
Right now, Shindai was beyond arrogant—he felt overwhelmingly powerful.
But this attitude only applied when facing Black Zetsu. If it were Madara Uchiha instead, Shindai would most likely retreat like a coward.
Obito and Kakashi twitched visibly at the corners of their eyes. Shindai's words remained as sharp as ever. He said he wouldn't laugh at Black Zetsu, so why was he laughing just now?
Already black as night, Black Zetsu became so dark he almost gleamed.
Enraged beyond control, Black Zetsu roared: "You bastard, shut up! Damn it!"
The five heads of the wooden humanoid once again gathered chakra from the Five Natures, preparing to unleash an attack against Shindai.
Shindai sneered: "You think I'm afraid of your attacks? As long as I stop these Five Nature techniques from combining together, that's enough!"
With hand seals, Shindai caused scattered puppet parts across the battlefield to automatically assemble into five complete puppets.
Each of these five puppets activated a different Ninjutsu card. They simultaneously released their techniques, countering and canceling out the chakra before it could fully merge within the wooden humanoid.
At this moment, Obito and Kakashi also completed their preparations.
Using Kamui, Obito pulled Kakashi with him directly behind Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu, consumed by anger toward Shindai, focused entirely on confronting him and failed to notice Obito and Kakashi approaching from behind through Kamui.
By the time Black Zetsu sensed danger and began turning around, it was already too late.
[Violet Lightning!]
Kakashi concentrated purple lightning energy in his hand and slashed downward toward Black Zetsu.
This strike cleaved through both Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, exposing Yamato inside.
Meanwhile, Obito swiftly laid his hand on Yamato's body.
[Kamui!]
Instantly, Obito pulled Yamato into the Kamui space.
Without Yamato, the Wooden Humanoid lost its power source and collapsed with a thunderous crash.
[Dual Lightning Cutter Strike!]
Kakashi lunged forward, both hands crackling with Lightning Cutter aimed directly at Black Zetsu.
However, Black Zetsu remained unaffected by the electricity, separating itself from White Zetsu's body.
[Fire Release: Explosive Gale Dance!]
Obito combined his Mangekyo Sharingan with Fire Release techniques, unleashing a spiraling torrent of flames toward Black Zetsu.
Yet again, Obito's Fire Release proved ineffective against Black Zetsu.
Obito and Kakashi frowned as they watched Black Zetsu fall toward the ground. "What the hell is this thing?"
"You can't kill me! I'm immortal!"
Black Zetsu hit the ground and quickly burrowed beneath it.
Shindai released his Susanoo and flew over to stand beside Obito and Kakashi, his brow furrowed. "Now things are really getting complicated. We have no choice but to wait for the right moment. We need to find a way to throw Black Zetsu into the seal during the moment when Naruto and Sasuke seal Madara. I can't think of any other solution."
Kakashi asked, "So what do we do now?"
Shindai replied seriously, "We chase him down! Don't let him hide. We must keep him engaged at all times. My electromagnetic field can track him—if he escapes its range, we're in trouble. Let's move!"
Shindai, Obito, and Kakashi resumed pursuit of Black Zetsu, ensuring it couldn't escape the electromagnetic field's reach.
...
Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha, who had been running around buying time, suddenly stopped.
Madara grinned excitedly. "The side show ends here."
Rising into the air, Madara raised his right hand high. A black sphere formed, then shattered into numerous smaller orbs that scattered into the sky.
Then Madara slammed his hands together.
[Planetary Devastation!]
The small black spheres began attracting everything around them, simultaneously drawing in nearby rocks to form massive rocky spheres around themselves.
A vast number of Planetary Devastation orbs floated in midair.
Looking proudly at his creation, Madara remarked, "This rain might be a little too hard and too large."
With a wave of his hand, the countless Planetary Devastation spheres hurtled toward the ground.
"Sasuke! Absolutely cannot let those hit the ground—there'll be huge casualties if they do!"
"I know! Susanoo!"
Sasuke activated his Susanoo, flying into the sky and slicing apart the incoming Planetary Devastation attacks.
At the same time, Naruto used Truth-Seeking Ball Spiral to destroy one of the Planetary Devastations.
But their efforts were like drops in the ocean—there were still far too many, and their efficiency was too low.
Naruto raised his right arm and released six Truth-Seeking Ball Spirals all at once.
"Let me just shatter all these meteors in one go!"
Naruto carefully adjusted his aim to avoid hitting Sasuke by watching his movements closely.
After confirming that Sasuke wouldn't be caught in the blast, Naruto launched all six Truth-Seeking Ball Spiral Shuriken, instantly shattering every Planetary Devastation.
While Naruto and Sasuke dealt with these massive Planetary Devastations, Madara Uchiha soared to an extremely high altitude, seemingly close enough to reach out and touch the moon.
Madara gazed at the blood-red moon above and murmured, "According to the stone monolith's records, when one who possesses the Six Paths' power draws near the moon, the Moon Eye—a means to realize limitless visions—will awaken...to illuminate the entire world!"
Feeling an itch on his forehead, Madara snapped off the horn atop his head. A single eye then appeared on his forehead.
When that eye revealed itself on Madara's forehead, it was clearly a Rinnegan and Sharingan hybrid.
Madara raised two fingers vertically.
[Now! Let us become one! Infinite Tsukuyomi!]
Shindai grimly looked toward the sky. He immediately activated Susanoo and used the Eight Trigrams Sealing Array to draw out Naruto's and Sasuke's powers. Then he called out to Obito and Kakashi, "Obito! Kakashi! Enter my Susanoo quickly!"
The Infinite Tsukuyomi was unleashed, but its light couldn't penetrate Madara's Susanoo, which was infused with Six Paths Power. So he began aggressively drawing out Naruto's and Sasuke's strength!
