"D-did Guy win?!" Kakashi asked.

Naruto waited, then sighed, shaking his head.

"Crap…" Kakashi fell back into his seat.

Madara wheezed heavily, half his entire body was gone. He started laughing, "I thought I was a goner… you damned lunatic!"

The destroyed half of his body started regenerating at rapid speeds.

"Gross!" Rin stuck her tongue out, "His body's like jelly…"

"That must be because of grandfather's cells being implanted into him, the sage chakra or whatever." Tsunade nodded.

Tsunade looked at Guy, who's skin looked as though it were charred and burnt, "So, this is the after-effects of using the eight gates… His entire body is completely wrecked, and the foot he used to kick Madara is already turning into ash."

Duy clenched his fists.

"That one was truly left up to the fates to decide. As a gesture of gratitude for entertaining me so… Before you turn to ashes," Madara shot a truth-seeker orb at Guy, "I shall kill you myself!"

But before it could hit Guy, Naruto appeared and kicked the orb straight back to Madara, crashing just off his face.

Minato breathed as he dropped back into his seat.

Naruto pressed a hand to Guy's chest, where a white circle appeared. His heartrate steading and his chakra point starting to stabilize itself.

"Thank you." Duy breathed out.

"Naruto… no… there's something different than before about you."

"Yeah, I'm finding it mysterious myself. Now, I feel like I change everything!"


"Woah! You managed to add a fire technique into your Rasenshuriken?!" Minato gasped.

"Well… I did get some help from the four tails, Gokuu." Naruto rubbed the back of his head.

Naruto pushed the Rasenshuriken through the God Tree, completely cutting it in half. But as it fell, Madara looked up at it. As though beckoning him, the God Tree crashed into Madara as it started seeping into his body mid-fall.

"He-he absorbed it!" Jiraiya shook.

"I see, so this was the holy tree." Madara laughed as he floated in the sky, free from injuries. "The time has come for everything to become one."

Back on the ground, Naruto passed Guy to Lee to look after, Gaara approached from behind.

"Naruto, when you become hokage. Let's drink together from a sake cup." Gaara smiled.

"Sure!"

"Man…" Kushina whined, "I wanna see you be hokage too!"

"You cannot defeat me." Madara gloated, "I have obtained complete immortality. I am eternal."

"You dumbass! I'm not gonna defeat you…" Naruto tightened his headband.

Fugaku and Minato both gave a grin.

"We will!" Naruto transformed into his nine tails state while Sasuke landed next to him, one hand on his hip.

"One has the senjutsu of the Six Paths blossomed within him, and the other one has awakened the Rinnegan." Madara laughed, "But me… I have both of those powers in one being!"

"This will be the final battle! My power against your power… Let's settle once and for all, which of the two is greater!"

"The ultimate clash!" Duy yelled.

"But that doesn't look like the Rinnegan?" Jiraiya asked, "It looks like the Sharingan and Rinnegan mixed together."

"Yeah, old sage didn't really explain that part, so I'm at a lost too." Naruto said awkwardly, laughing.

A frightening thunder technique came from Madara's palms and started attacking the two, Naruto threw a black rod which acted as a conductor, stopping the lightning in its tracks while Sasuke appeared at the other side, dodging the attack.

"That wasn't a dodge," Kakashi looked on, "He substituted his place with debris!"

"Good eye, Kakashi." Minato nodded, "It seems that's one the abilities of his eye."

Naruto's attack was stopped by invisible force that kept him from hitting Madara.

"Sasuke! He went over there! I can't see him myself, but he's around here somewhere!"

"Really? I can see him perfectly!"

Sasuke looked at Madara, "This is… another Madara."

"It would seem as though physical attacks won't have any effect on the other Madara from this side." Itachi rubbed his chin.

"If that's the case, then I'm sure that left eye of his would be a perfect fit for me!"

"It seems as though your shadow returns to your original body after a fixed amount of time." Sasuke panted, "Naruto, when he splits off into his shadow again, you take care of that one, I'll take care of the one that my eye can see."

Naruto chuckled, "Taking orders from you pisses me off… I guess even now, I haven't changed."

"Truly." Tsunade scoffed.

"Listen to everything I have to say!"

"Alright? This is our chance, he and his shadow are likely overlapping one another for a short period of time right now, I want you to prepare any attack that has sage chakra in it, preferably something that will seal his movements."

Naruto formed a Rasengan with Shukaku's chakra merged in it.

Using his new eye, Madara was teleported in between Sasuke's and Naruto's attack, one sealing him and another one directly plunging into him.

"He substituted his shadow for him!" Minato gasped. "Where's he going now?"

"He's headed straight for Kakashi!" Obito yelled

They watched in horror as Madara pushed his fingers into Kakashi's eye and gouged it from the socket, transferring it into his own eye.

"You're quite fast, aren't you Sasuke?" Madara looked back, before he got sliced in half by Sasuke.

"It's over…" Kakashi sighed, "Finally."

"Uh…" Naruto rubbed his chin, "Not really."

"As if someone like Madara would be killed by such a simple attack." Fugaku huffed.

Madara warped the upper half of his body into the Kamui dimension and threw a rod at Sakura before she was about to destroy Obito's Rinnegan.

"No you don't!"

Before Sakura was impaled by the rod, she was whisked back to the others by Obito.

"Good save, Obito." Minato pat his student's back.

"She's safe by a hair's breadth." Tsunade sighed a breath of relief.

"So, looks like Madara is going to get his final Rinnegan after all…" Jiraiya said sadly. "We're doomed."

"Why don't you have more faith in Naruto?"

"Why is Sakura here suddenly?"

"She was in the other dimension." Kakashi pressed a hand to his eye, "Sakura, how are things there?"

As Madara revealed his plan in the past, Obito gasped. "It was all planed. I was his puppet from the very beginning."

"Don't feel too bad, Obito." Kushina pat his hair, "Madara's a genius strategist."

"Hey Sakura, can I do something?"

Naruto put his hand to Kakashi eyes and focused for a moment, "Kakashi sensei, try to open your eye."

"No way!" Tsunade coughed, "How did you do that?!"

"Uh…" Naruto scratched his chin, "It's like I took a part of him and put it somewhere else."

"Dude… you could become like a world-famous surgeon if you didn't want to be a ninja anymore!" Obito gushed.

"Madara's back!" Mikoto pointed.

"Would you consider dying, teamwork as well?" He asked, both Rinnegan gleaming in his eyes.

"Madara… did you get both Rinnegan?" Kakashi panted.

"No shit, Kakashi." Obito cursed, "Even with a new eye you're blind as a bat."

"Obito!"

"Unfortunately, Obito is no more. I took his body." Black Zetsu laughed. "Apparently he wanted to make up for his past mistakes. Deep inside his heart he was counting on you all to continue, just like a kid. Isn't that selfish? Like a spoiled brat."

Sakura froze mid-step from Madara's presence, Naruto and Sasuke moving upwards to shield her.

"C'mon." Tsunade cheered softly.

The seal on Sakura's forehead started growing in length before it looked like Tsunade's own.

"I'll create a diversion… go on!" She leapt forwards, getting impaled by Madara's black rod.

"Looks like Sakura really takes after you, huh Tsunade?" Jiraiya laughed, "Both equally as reckless with their lives."

Unfazed by the attack, Sakura brought a fist towards Madara, but was blocked by an invisible force.

Knocking all of them backwards, Madara took to the sky and shot out multiple black orbs that dotted the nighttime sky.

The black orbs started bringing debris and boulders into them, creating his large attack.

"So, he's planning to wipe all of you out in one go." Jiraiya hummed as he watched Madara create multiple meteors.

"They kinda look like raindrops." Rin leaned back, "If raindrops were a bit bigger and made of stone…"

Madara flew closer to the moon as he ripped his headpiece from his head. A slit started opening from his forehead, revealing a crimson Sharingan.

"According to what was written on the stone monument, when people possessing the power of the Rinnegan get close to the moon, the eye that make the infinite dream come true, will reflect on it." Madara laughed as he looked up at the moon.

"Illuminate the world!" Madara created a hand-seal, "Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"He-he did it…" Kushina cupped her mouth, "He actually did it."

"Look at the moon!" Jiraiya gasped.

"The moon looks like a huge Sharingan…" Fugaku mouthed, "This is the infinite Tsukuyomi?"

Across the battlefield, the Rinnegan was reflected into the eyes of the ninjas, stopping them in their tracks. The usual nighttime was now as bright as morning as the infinite Tsukuyomi shone across the land.

"This light can shine even through the shadows, you cannot hide." Madara started up the second phase of the infinite Tsukuyomi.

Large branches burst from the ground and wrapping started to snake around all the shinobi, trapping them in a cocoon.

"Oh no... lil' Hinata!" Kushina cried out. "Not the future heir of the Uzumaki!"

Naruto blushed as he laughed awkwardly.

Naruto sensed Hinata's panic and was about to leap out of Sasuke's Susano'o but was promptly stopped.

Obito's unconscious body spoke, "That Susano'o is blocking the moon's light? Is his Rinnegan able to repel this technique as well?"

"Don't go outside now." Sasuke let go of Naruto, "Without the Susano'o I created with my eyes, you'll be affected by his illusionary technique as well!"

"His shadows are also outside, if they kill the two of us, everything's over. Wait for a chance."

"So, this is the dream world Obito was talking about?" Minato spoke out, "Doesn't look very dream-like…"

"Is there no other way to block this technique besides using this Susano'o?" Hiruzen asked.

"When can we go out?!"

"People fall into the illusionary technique due to the moonlight, that light is slowly diminishing, but we can't go out as long as it shines." Sasuke explained.

Madara landed in front of all of them. "I just stopped the fate of this world, I freed people from pain, suffering and emptiness."

"This is just a huge lie!" Obito yelled.

"Naruto… you're getting in the way of everyone's happiness. Our game ends here." Madara glared at him, "I turned hell into heaven. You should understand, it's already over."

A silence filled the air before a sickening squelch was heard.

Rin covered her eyes as she clutched Kakashi's arm.

"Madara's idea of heaven is really warped."

"You think Madara knows what heaven looks like?" Kakashi mocked.


"No… Madara." Black Zetsu laughed, "You're not the savior, and it's not over." An arm ran through Madara.

"Why do you think that, unlike Obito, you can use everyone else? Isn't it presumptuous to think that you are different?"

"Black Zetsu, what are you saying?!" Madara wheezed, "I'm the one who created you! You're my will!"

"That's not true either, my will is…" Black Zetsu laughed, "Kaguya."

"What's going on?" Obito asked.

"Are they having a split?" Kushina asked.

"Wasn't Kaguya that person the old sage was talking about?" Jiraiya asked another question.

Madara screamed as black veins spider-webbed across his body.

"My god…" Hiruzen took a long exhale of his pipe.
