And now…. BACK TO THE STORY.
Chapter 34
"Let's do it!" we all say as we jump on to Eight Tails' right palm.
Naruto changes into his Nine Tails chakra form as I put my katana in its scabbard. Eight Tails holds his arm back and then launches us forward. Kakashi and Naruto land on a levitating boulder and quickly jump off as I punch the boulder with my chakra-flames fist to shatter it over Masked Madara. Guy then lands behind him and strikes him with one of his numb-chucks, but it passes right through. He repeats this over and over as they continue to pass through. Masked Madara then suddenly grabs a hold of both numb-chucks' handles.
"You underestimate the Sharingan too much," he tells Guy. "I can read your movements... I'll keep these," he begins to suck in the numb-chucks into himself.
Naruto then leaps toward him over Guy with his Rasengan.
"Don't you understand that it's futile?" Masked Madara sternly says as he continues to suck in the numb-chucks into his Sharingan eye.
He dematerializes himself as his left hand passes through Naruto's Rasengan and reaches out to grab Naruto, his hand passing through still. From afar, Kakashi uses Kamui to make Naruto's Rasengan disappear in a swirl. Naruto and Masked Madara pass right through each other, but Masked Madara's right shoulder then explodes. He crashes into the ground and rolls on his sides. His chained fan gets stuck in a stone crack and stops him from rolling. I land next to Kakashi's right while Guy lands on his left and Naruto lands on my right.
"It's just like you said, Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto says. "I don't really understand why, but I finally landed an attack on him!"
"I see... Naruto didn't undo his Rasengan..." Masked Madara says as he lays on the ground. "Kakashi...you used Kamui to send the Rasengan away..."
"I knew it," Kakashi says. "I thought he had two different jutsu, one that lets him slip through things and one to suck things in or take them out. But that's not the case."
"Huh?" Guy and Naruto are confused.
"It's all one single jutsu!"
"It's one jutsu?" Guy asks as we watch Masked Madara get up.
"Well, no one's better at jutsu analysis and breakdown than you," Guy tells Kakashi. "Can you explain his jutsu to us in simpler terms? Knowing what it is might change how we approach the battle."
Naruto changes back to his normal self as he listens.
"Remembering what Denizu said about how Space-Time Migration works," Kakashi begins to explain. "The way this jutsu really works is simple. You see, the jutsu he uses to absorb things, and the one he uses to slip through objects is the Transportation Technique."
"What do you mean? How can you tell?" Guy asks.
"Well..." Kakashi says. "Let me explain it in order... First, the crack in his mask. My kunai made that mark. I'm absolutely certain. From the look on the wound in his right shoulder, I can tell it was caused from being hit by Naruto's Rasengan just now. What these two have in common is that they both involve areas of his body that were overlapping and in contact with Naruto's body while he was slipping through him. There is another thing that the two have in common. That is...a kunai and Rasengan teleported using Kamui causes those two things. In other words, from this... I can tell his Transportation Technique is linked to the same time-space as my Kamui!"
I am shocked to hear this. I now understand why Kakashi didn't have me use my own Kamui for our attacks, despite me arguing that he was using it too much. Masked Madara then grips the sleeve of his right arm with his left hand and pulls on it.
"So...does that...mean?" I am still stunned.
"W-Wait a second! What do you mean?" Guy asks. "How come his Visual Jutsu and yours are linked?!"
Eight Tails then moves closer behind us.
"Are all Transportation Techniques...linked between all users?" we hear Bee ask.
"No. They aren't," I firmly state. "It's just him and Kakashi."
"Never mind that!" Naruto says. "Why did your kunai hit and not my punch?!"
"That's right, fool!" Bee says. "Even with shared time-spaces, it should still be possible to hit a guy that can slip through things, ya fool."
"Except that our theory that he slips through things was wrong," Kakashi retorts.
"What do you mean?" Naruto asks.
"Although it looks like your attack slipped right through him," Kakashi continues. "In fact, only the part of his body that would have been in contact with yours was transported into time-space."
"In other words, the left side of his mask that your punch 'slipped through' was simply transported into time-space and no longer existed on this plane," I state. "At least materially."
"And then almost simultaneously," Kakashi continues. "Remember I hurled that kunai into time-space using Kamui? Just as his momentum carried him forward when he extended his arm toward you to grab you...my kunai finished entering time-space and scored his mask."
"Did the same thing happen with the Rasengan?" Naruto asks.
"Yeah," Kakashi and I nod.
"So that's what happened," Naruto comprehends.
"But how come both of your Visual Prowess's are linked?" Eight Tails asks.
"Kakashi, is he...?" Guy questions.
"Where did you get that eye?!" Kakashi asks Masked Madara.
"Where, huh?" he says. "If anything, in the last Great War. The Battle of Kannabi Bridge. The same battle where you earned the nickname, 'The Sharingan Hero.'"
Kakashi and I stand there in shock.
"Are you...?" Kakashi says.
"I thought I told you not to flap your mouth so readily!" Masked Madara shouts. "You're just all talk now. Your words are worthless!"
'It...can't be...' I think to myself as I stare at him wide-eyed.
"It's too late for regrets!" he continues. "Reality just keeps cruelly moving ahead. You've seen reality, so you ought to know. Not one wish gets granted in this world. That's why I'm guiding it to the dream of Infinite Tsukuyomi. I'm going to create a world where it won't be necessary for a hero to pathetically make excuses in front of a grave."
My mouth begins to quiver and my body trembles slightly. Guy notices me and Kakashi is breathing heavily and sweating.
"Kakashi, Denizu...are you all right?" Guy asks us.
Naruto then steps forward.
"You bastard!" Naruto yells at the masked man. "Are you still blabbing on about that?! I thought I told you too! I'm not giving up on my dream of becoming Hokage! I've been entrusted with way too much from way too many!"
"Naruto!" Guy gives him a confident gaze.
"Entrusted, eh?" the masked man says. "What if you were to lose the things Jiraiya and the Fourth Hokage entrusted you with? I wonder what they would think?"
I stare sternly at the fake Madara, my fists still clenched.
"Naruto, if you fail at the things you were entrusted with," he continues. "I wonder what you will think of yourself as well? If you postpone dealing with problems and cover it up with the word 'hope,' all that awaits you is an empty reality. Both the entrusted and those that did the entrusting, all in vain."
"Sorry, but your words don't apply to this guy," the Nine Tails speaks through Naruto.
"Is that the Nine Tails?" Guy is surprised.
"The Fourth Hokage entrusted him with me," Nine Tails continues. "Not only has Naruto befriended me...but he's completely mastered my power as well!"
Orange chakra flames begin to appear around Naruto.
"The Fourth Hokage sealed me within Naruto," Nine Tails continues. "As a force to help take you down."
Naruto then changes into his Nine Tails chakra mode, but this time, a cloak forms on him with black designs on it. He then sprints toward the masked man, extending a large chakra arm to smash Masked Madara.
'Could...he really be...?' I think in disbelief as I stare at the masked man.
I then feel Kakashi place his hand on my left shoulder and presses it a bit tightly. I don't turn to him but continue to gaze at Masked Madara as he slips through Naruto's chakra hand.
'No...It can't be...' I continue to think.
"Denizu! Kakashi!" Guy tries to get our attention.
Kakashi snaps out of his deep thoughts. I continue to be lost in my head as I picture the graves of my mother and father and stare at the masked man sternly.
"Denizu!" Kakashi shakes my shoulder and interrupts my thoughts. "Listen. I know what you're thinking...but we have to focus!"
I simply nod.
"The more diversions, the better when attacking him!" he continues. "We have to join the fight!"
"We have an idea of what you're thinking," Guy says to me. "But we have to act now! We'll need to drop it! There's no time to wallow in sentimentality. Naruto, who you see as practically a son, has already jumped into action."
I turn to Guy and Kakashi with surprised expression but then nod and turn my attention to Masked Madara who is activating his Space-Time Migration. Out from the swirl in his eye, two giant shuriken fly at Naruto. The Eight Tails blocks them with his tentacle, but he misses one as it continues to fly at Naruto. The Nine Tails head appears in chakra around Naruto and stops the shuriken by biting down on it.
"How stupid of you to attack alone!" Masked Madara tells Naruto.
"I'm not alone!" Naruto responds. "I have Kurama! Octopops and Eight-o...Bushier Brow-sensei! Denizu-sensei! And Kakashi-sensei too!"
"Naruto..." I whisper in awe.
"You've got a winning record against me right now," Guy tells Kakashi. "This better not be enough to slow you down Kakashi!"
Kakashi and I continue to stare at Naruto in amazement. I feel so proud of him as I have a confident gaze.
"Denizu! Guy! Let's go!" Kakashi finally says.
"Naruto needs us and we will give it our all!" I state.
"Alright! That's the powerful Uchiha-Hatake Couple I know!" Guy exclaims.
I sprint forward and Kakashi and Guy follow after me.
"I do not fear a borrowed power that can't even string together a barrage," the masked man says. "The true power of Kamui...Now watch and learn!"
He and Kakashi activate their Mangekyo Sharingan. The masked man leaps onto the levitating boulders away from us and uses Kamui.
"If he has to materialize when he takes things in," we hear Bee says. "He has to do so when he spits things out too! This is our chance!"
"That's if you can counterstrike!" Masked Madara says.
Out from his swirling eye, lots of giant kunai-like daggers fly out and stab Eight Tails' tentacles. Chains appear out of the end of the daggers, glowing in purple chakra.
"What is this?!" Eight Tails is surprised. "Naruto! These have Curse Marks on them that restrain Tailed Beast power. Whatever you, do don't touch them!"
"Octopops!" Naruto says. "Can you shield me for a bit?"
He summons a shadow clone and quickly moves in closer to Eight Tails under a tentacle. One Naruto charges at the masked man with a Rasengan while the other under the tentacle charges up a ball of dark purple chakra. Kakashi uses his Kamui again at the Rasengan as we continue to run over. The Shadow Clone of Naruto puffs away when reaching Masked Madara. Suddenly, Kakashi collapses face first into the ground.
"Kakashi!" Guy and I shout in worry.
I kneel next to him and turn him on his side to face me. His Sharingan eye is bleeding and he is breathing heavily.
"Damn it, Kakashi!" I hold his head up. "You're overusing Kamui!"
"Seems my attack was quicker than you, Kakashi," Masked Madara says. "You missed transporting away the Rasengan and wasted another Kamui."
Naruto then launches the Tailed Beast Bomb at the masked man, consuming him and causing a massive explosion. Kakashi sits up with his Sharingan eye closed as we peer out to see the outcome and see that the Fake Madara is no longer wearing his mask. Guy and I stand Kakashi up as we place his arms over our shoulders to hold him in between us. My eyes widen slowly as I gaze onto the face of the man who's gazing back at us.
"Is that you...Obito?" I'm stunned.
"Are you really Obito?" Guy asks. "I thought you died!"
"There's no mistake," Kakashi says. "That's Obito Uchiha."
"You can call me by that name if you want," Obito says. "It means nothing to me."
I grit my teeth as my jaw clenches.
'It...doesn't make any sense...' I think.
"But that day you..." Kakashi stares at Obito sternly. "Obito...you're alive."
"Who is he?" Naruto asks.
"He was our classmate and an Uchiha who was a Leaf Shinobi," Guy replies. "We all thought he was killed in action during the last war."
"If you survived, why didn't you come forward sooner?" Kakashi asks.
"It's irrelevant whether I had survived or not," Obito answers. "Although, I suppose... If you really want an answer... It's because you let Rin die," he stares straight at Kakashi.
We stare at him in surprise after hearing his words.
"Relax. What's with that look, Kakashi?" Obito continues.
"You're not going to condemn me?" Kakashi asks.
"What would I gain from criticizing this absurd reality at this point? I have no interest in the affairs of a world that shall soon cease to exist."
Kakashi lowers his head with a grim expression.
"Kakashi..." I grip his vest.
"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto yells. "I don't know what went down between you two, but this is no time to be depressed. We can discuss it later! Right now, stopping what this guy is trying to do comes first."
"Naruto is right, Kakashi," I say to him. "No matter how confused and hurt I feel right now... The fate of this world currently rests in our hands!"
"I have nothing more to talk to you about," Obito activates Kamui. "Stay tied down to reality...and die!"
Obito then summons a swirling stream of fire at us, but Naruto quickly steps in and counters it with his nine chakra tails, clearing the fire away. Suddenly someone lands some feet away from Obito to his left, leaving dirt flying around and not letting us see who it is. The dirt clears away and a man with long, messy black hair stands there. My eyes widen as I recognize who this man is as I also notice his Rinnegan.
"That's..." I am speechless.
"That's...Madara!" Naruto is surprised.
"It's just like you..." Obito turns to Madara. "To have defied the Reanimation Jutsu."
"More importantly, what's taking so long?" Madara asks with his arms crossed.
"Why? Why is that Madara over there?" Naruto questions.
"Madara? You mean that Madara?" Kakashi nows stands on his own.
'What the hell is going on?!' I think.
"He's a Shadow Clone too..." Madara says as he looks at the Naruto standing in front of us. "Where's the real one, Obito?"
'He can tell he's a clone?!' I'm surprised.
"What's happened to everyone over there?" the real Naruto asks Madara from behind us.
"He's over there, eh?" Madara says and then gazes at me. "That mutated Sharingan is now activated, I see."
I give Madara a firm gaze with my mutated Sharingan.
"I asked you what happened?!" Naruto yells at Madara.
Naruto's chakra flares out as he is angered.
"I am not sure but I suspect..." Madara begins. "That none of them are doing too well."
Naruto's chakra arms then rip the large kunai out from Eight Tails' tentacles and breaks the chakra chains and then hurls the kunai at Obito and Madara. Obito tosses the gourd-like fan to Madara after detaching the chain from the handle. Madara then covers himself in purple chakra that then forms a barrier in front of him and Obito, blocking the kunai. We then hear the statue inside the Uchiha Flame Formation roar from afar.
"Obito, did you launch the plan haphazardly before you even took in the Eight and Nine Tails?" Madara asks.
'So he knows about the plan...' I think. 'What's their relationship?!'
"You were hasty, Obito," Madara says. "Is that also why I was revived in this form? Well, knowing you... I'm sure you have something in mind. What have you been up to all this time? Where's Nagato? You were supposed to determine the appropriate moment and bring me back to life with Rinne Rebirth. That was the agreement."
"You tried to take advantage of Nagato?!" Naruto is bothered.
"He betrayed us," Obito answers Madara. "He used the jutsu to revive the Leaf villagers."
"I can't depend on any of you," Madara states. "Well, no matter... It's not too late. I'll capture the Eight and Nine Tails!"
"Dead men shouldn't go around messing things up!" Naruto appears above Madara, charging at him with a dark purple Rasengan.
Madara quickly uses his gourd-like fan to block the hit. There's a big impact and causes a gust of wind and dirt to blow. We cover our faces and squint as there is also a bright light. The light disappears as we see that Naruto's attack was absorbed into the gourd-like fan.
'What?!' I think. 'It didn't explode?!'
Madara then reaches out and points the fan at Naruto.
"Uchiha Reflection," Madara has a smug look.
The fan begins to glow and a blast is sent at Naruto from it. It's a clone so it puffs away as the area clears and calms down from the impact.
"I'll get the Eight and Nine Tails," Madara says. "Obito, you take down those three."
With that, Madara leaps high over us with his fan. Guy quickly pursues him, leaving me and Kakashi with Obito. He stares at us firmly as we stare back.
"Obito..." Kakashi says. "What happened to you? Why would you join up with him?"
Obito lunges at us and I jump aside to the left while Kakashi jumps aside to the right. I lurch forward at him with a punch but he evades it. I turn with a roundhouse kick but he blocks it with his forearms and pushes me back some feet away. Kakashi takes this chance to attack with some punches and kicks, but they are blocked and evaded. Obito sends Kakashi sliding back some ten feet away in front of him, some five feet from my right side.
"Why ally yourself with someone like Madara?" I ask Obito.
"I've got nothing to say to you," he answers. "All that's left is this final battle!"
He activates his Kamui and sends large shuriken flying out of his right eye at me and Kakashi. Kakashi reacts by quickly performing some hand signs and placing his hands on the ground. A large mud wall rises in front of us and shields us from the shuriken. After a few seconds, Obito passes through the mud wall, catching us by surprise. He holds a large shuriken and stabs Kakashi below the knee, causing him to grunt in pain. Obito is about to grasp Kakashi's right hand, but I quickly step in and shield Kakashi. I am now in between them as Obito has a hold of my right hand.
"Why?" Kakashi says from behind me as he stares at Obito.
"How about shutting up already?" he spits back. "You're only talk. You're nothing but a piece of trash."
I grit my teeth at his words. Kakashi falls down to one knee, causing me to get distracted, giving Obito the chance to tug at my arm. He sends me flying back to the side with a hard kick; I roll on my side a few times before stopping myself and crouching up some ten feet away from them. Obito then sucks in Kakashi in a swirl into his right eye.
"Kakashi!" I'm surprised.
My attention then turns to the Nine Tail chakra form around Naruto and see that it's being subdued by Madara's wooden dragon. I grit my teeth as I turn my eyes back to Obito, my body feeling a bit tired by now.
"Let Kakashi go," I firmly say.
"Seems you two have finally come to terms with your feelings," Obito says. "You both get to be together...unlike me and Rin."
"What happened to Rin was tragic, but it wasn't Kakashi fault."
"She's dead. With the new world we plan to create, I'll be reunited with her. It'll be the same as before. You'll get to be reunited with your parents. Isn't that something you want?"
"All of that is in the past. How can you bring my parents up after you killed them?"
I stare at him sternly as he returns the gaze.
"How could you?" I ask angrily. "How could you kill my parents? You were my friend!"
"None of that matters now. I needed them out of the way to get to you. Your Sharingan abilities are useful for this plan. You still have a chance to join us in creating a new world. A world in which all pain is erased. You'll get to see your parents again."
"That means nothing to me coming from the one who killed them! What's done is done. Changing the world the way you want isn't the right way to handle all this pain."
"You sound like your father just before I killed him."
I glare at him as my fists clench. Suddenly, Kakashi appears in between us in a swirl. He is on one knee and is facing Obito.
"We have the same eyes," Obito tells him. "So you made it out, huh?"
"Obito, how did you end up like this?" Kakashi asks him. "Does it have to do with Rin?"
I turn my gaze to the puddle of blood forming on the ground under Kakashi's wound as I breathe a bit heavily with one eye closed. Obito takes two large shuriken, quickly leaps forward and knees Kakashi in the face, sending him flying back. Within a second he hits Kakashi in the torso with the large shuriken and Kakashi lands on his back a few feet in front of me.
"Kakashi!" I hold him up from behind as I crouch down.
"I said trash should keep their mouths shut!" Obito glares down at Kakashi from some feet away. "You both die here," he holds up a large shuriken.
"I...couldn't keep my promise to you," Kakashi says to Obito. "You're right. I'm trash."
'Kakashi...' I think in worry as he breathes heavily and sounds weak.
"But you..." he continues. "You're a hero of the Leaf. There's no reason for you become trash too."
Obito stares down at him in silence. I support Kakashi up from behind as I watch him struggle, sweat rolling down his face. Obito then lowers his head and begins to chuckle.
"This is reality," he says. "Those who bequeath and the bequeathed...both. All shinobi who survive in this world become trash. You and I are prime examples, Kakashi."
I gaze over at the EightTails and see that it's subdued by Madara's wooden dragon as well.
'Damn...things aren't looking good,' I think as a bead of sweat trickles down my forehead.
"No one can escape the cycle that gives birth to trash in this world," Obito continues as he then holds up the large shuriken. "That's why I intend to remake the world!"
I stare up at Obito, ready to make a move despite my body feeling weak from exhaustion. Just as Obito hurls one of the large shuriken at us, I'm prepared to react, but one of Naruto's clones stops the shuriken with a chakra arm.
"I'm not trash!" Naruto sounds angry. "I'm not planning on becoming trash either!"
I stare up at him in surprise as he continues to hold the shuriken with a chakra arm.
"I will..." he continues. "Stop you! I'll never let my comrades die!"
"Naruto..." I mutter in awe.
Kakashi then begins to bring himself up. Obito then jumps forward at Naruto, but Kakashi forms his Lightning Blade in his right hand and lunges at Obito. His hand hits Obito and sends him flying back some feet away. I stand ready next to Kakashi and Naruto as we face Obito. Nearby where Madara, the real Naruto, the Eight Tails, and Guy are, is a strong force caused by a massive chakra form white tiger. I smirk a bit as I think of Guy and then continue to watch Obito.
"Obito..." Kakashi says. "Your once strong will is still alive today...right next to us!"
I smile at Naruto's clone to our left.
"What the current me can do is protect the current Naruto!" Kakashi continues.
Kakashi still continues to breathe quickly as he covers the X formed cuts on his torso caused by Obito and his shuriken.
"You'll protect the current Naruto?" Obito asks.
Kakashi then collapses down to his knees again, and I crouch next to him in worry.
"Yes. That's what we intend to do," I say to Obito. "Kakashi, me, Guy...that's what everyone intends to do in order to stop you."
The Eight Tails breaks free from the grasp of the wooden dragon afar. Obito turns behind him to see and then turns back to us.
"A Lightning Blade that relies on the Sharingan," he says to Kakashi. "You've mastered your left eye. Even awakening the Mangekyo. But can you make it back from the other plane in your current condition?"
A piece of wood then slithers around his right shoulder and he runs at us. Naruto reacts and lunges forward at him with a punch, but the wood reaches Naruto and wraps around his arm and to his torso. Another wood vine wraps around me and tosses me to the side hard into a large boulder.
"Denizu-sensei!" Naruto yelps.
"Go back to the trash heap, Kakashi!" Obito yells.
Obito reaches out to grab Kakashi's head.
"Kakashi..." I mutter weakly as I get up on one knee.
I watch as Naruto headbutts Obito hard in his forehead and sends him flying back away from Kakashi. Obito lands on his feet and jumps away as he faces them. The statue inside the Uchiha Flame Formation grabs my attention. I spot a crack at the side and am surprised.
'We're gonna have to start worrying about the Ten Tails soon...' I think.
"Heh. Now I see it clearly..." Naruto's clone says to Obito before breaking off the wood that's binding him. "Your pained face."
"Save those lines for your senseis," Obito replies.
I look at Kakashi and see him still breathing heavily and weakly.
'I have to help Kakashi...' I think. 'He's completely drained from overusing the Sharingan... If he gets sucked into Obito's eye...'
"Hey...Kakashi brat," I hear the Nine Tails voice come from Naruto's clone. "Give me your hands."
"You're..." Kakashi says weakly.
"Never mind that! Just stick out your hands!"
'Is this...some sort of plan?' I think.
They grab a hold of each other's hands as Obito runs at them. Nine Tails then hurls Kakashi at Obito, and he is then sucked into Obito's right eye. I am surprised as a sweat drop forms on my head after seeing what just happened.
"What...the?" I am perplexed.
Naruto's clone then forms a chakra hand and goes for a punch. Obito passes right through it, but he stops in his tracks while the chakra hand is still through him. He then coughs and falls forward.
'Kakashi must be attacking from the dimension Obito's body isn't dematerialized,' I think with a smirk. 'That's how he's able to hit him!'
"What's going on?!" Naruto is confused as he watches Obito being hurt.
Blood is now trickling down from Obito's mouth as he grits his teeth.
'Whenever he wants to, Kakashi can use his Kamui to come out of Obito's dimension plane,' I think. 'This can work to our advantage!'
Kakashi then appears back in a swirl in front of me. He kneels down to me and places his hands on my shoulders.
"Are you okay?" he asks.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I smile weakly but he catches my lie. "How are you suddenly recuperated with chakra?"
"It was Nine Tails. He somehow managed to give me some of his chakra when he grabbed my hand."
"Denizu-sensei!" Naruto stands next to us.
"I'll give you some of my chakra," the Nine Tails' deep voice says as he places a hand on my shoulder.
I feel a sudden jolt throughout my body as I feel replenished. I sigh and stand upright with Kakashi as the three of us stare over at Obito.
"Nine Tails is able to give or take chakra voluntarily at will," Naruto says. "He gave you and Kakashi-sensei some."
"Tell him I say thanks," I crack my neck.
"Thanks from me, too," Kakashi says.
"Sure!" Naruto nods.
I stretch my right arm and rotate it a few times with my eyes closed. Kakashi notices I'm preparing and looks curious.
"You look ready to go, Denizu-sensei!" Naruto observes.
"We've got more trouble coming," I point in the direction of the statue.
The Uchiha Flame Formation wall is cracking even more. The real Naruto turns into the chakra form of Nine Tails and forms a purple orb with Eight Tails. Both large beings form their two large chakra orbs afar and aim at the statue. We stare in awe as the orbs combine into one massive orb and fire at the statue inside the Uchiha Flame Formation. A strong gust of wind causes us to grimace and hold our ground. The massive yellow glowing orb crashes into the Uchiha Flame Formation and sends it back with brute force. The orb disappears for a few seconds before a large glowing ball appears and causes another strong wave of wind as the ground shakes. We stand and watch, waiting to see the outcome of the explosion.
"The statue's chakra is gone..." Naruto's clone says. "Alright then!"
"It's over?" Kakashi questions.
"I got a bad feeling..." I say.
"Yeah...for this world," Obito answers from afar.
From the smoke caused by the orb attack emerges a gigantic being with ten tails as it screeches a loud roar.
