A New Problem

As Ryuu rested, a Katsuyu Clone resting on his shoulder and giving him chakra, Obito reappeared on top of the Ten-tails' head. Ryuu looked up at him with his Byakugan, seeing a gaping hole in his chest. However, just as he saw the hole, several chakra receivers sprouted from his Hashirama Cell arm, turning the right side of his body black and forcing him to begin a jutsu.

"What is..." Ryuu breathed before looking outside the barrier at Madara, who was glowing. "Oh Hell no."

He began to stand but his legs gave out.

"You shouldn't move yet," Katsuyu stated. "And stop using your Byakugan, you don't have enough chakra."

Ryuu deactivated his eyes, looking up at Obito as Sasuke and Naruto both moved to stop him and the First and Second Hokage both sent clones to try and stop Madara.

"Damn," Ryuu growled. "They won't make it."

Sasuke fired an Amaterasu Arrow at Obito but three of the rods shot off of him, blocking it. Then, the Ten-tails sprouted arms, grabbing the snake Sasuke was riding on, forcing Sasuke to leap off and send his Snake summon away. Then, he began to sprint at Obito. Ryuu turned his attention back to Obito just as Obito's black hair began to rapidly turn white. Then, just as it finished, Minato appeared in front of him, splitting his torso open with a kunai, stopping his jutsu.

"Lord...Fourth," Ryuu breathed. "Thank God."

Just then, the Ten-tails began to retract into itself, spiraling and shrinking around its head. Ryuu grit his teeth as Minato's clone and Sasuke began to get pulled in, but were saved by Naruto. Then, the Ten-tails transformed into a small white sphere.

"Did it transform?" Katsuyu wondered.

"I don't think so," Ryuu growled as the sphere began to crack. "I think it's much, much worse than that."

Then, it shattered, leaving Obito hovering in its place with several chunks of scales floating around him.

"It's got a Jinchuriki," Ryuu breathed.

Obito reached up to the top of the scales in front of his face, gripping them as he opened his eyes, looking at Naruto, Sasuke, and Minato. Then, he began to pull, breaking the scales off and sending the rest flying away. He had the remains of his black robe hanging around his waist with five protrusions on his back just above it, then another five across his shoulders. between the sets was a number of rings around a single black dot between his shoulder blades, and nine tomoe in a box below that on his lower back. The right side of his body now looked to be scaled and his body was a pale grayish white. Just as Obito began to turn fully toward Naruto and the others, massive red torii began to crash down on top of him, pinning him to the ground.

"Good, he's pinned," Katsuyu sighed.

"Not for long," Ryuu growled.

"What do you mean?" Katsuyu asked.

"The Ten-tails had the power to break free, but not the control," Ryuu said. "It was a beast on a rampage. Obito is not. He can focus his attacks and use the full power of the Ten-tails."

Sure enough, within seconds the torii began to crack before exploding, allowing Obito to stand, a ball of red flames now burning on the ends of the five protrusions on his shoulders. Then, the flames all shot out, transforming into hands, like the lesser Tailed Beasts' Jinchuriki's chakra arms, and grabbed ahold of the barrier, pulling it inward until it shattered.

"No way," Ryuu breathed. "This is going to be very bad."

Just then, Obito leapt to the top of the last remaining torii, where Naruto's giant frog was sitting with Naruto, Sasuke, and Minato on its head. Then, the three reincarnated Hokage landed in front of Obito.

"Damn," Ryuu growled. "I need more chakra now!"

"Take mine," Fu said landing in front of him. "When I regenerate, I'll get it all back."

"You sure?" Ryuu asked.

"Yes," Fu nodded.

Ryuu nodded taking her hand and beginning to take her chakra. It wasn't as fast as he would like, however, and he knew he wouldn't be much help soon.

"Once I'm done, promise me you'll stay away from him," Ryuu growled. "Please."

Fu nodded and Ryuu looked up at Obito again.

"I actually feel sorry for him," Ryuu said. "If things had been just a little different, I might have joined him."

"But you didn't," Fu said. "And now you're going to help stop him."

Ryuu nodded and returned his gaze to Obito once more. Just as he did, Obito appeared behind the Hokage, the First and Second's shoulders next to each other exploding.

Fast, Ryuu thought. I didn't see him move.

The Third Hokage leapt away from Obito and Minato teleported the giant toad away, along with Naruto and Sasuke, as Obito suddenly exploded. A moment later, Hashirama grew several large roots out of his body, wrapping around Obito to hold him in place. Then, the Second Hokage reached into his own chest before hurling several paper bombs out of himself, more and more appearing and swarming around Obito before exploding. The chain of explosions filled the sky with smoke and shook the ground continuously for several minutes, before finally ending. Just as it did, Obito appeared from the smoke, completely unharmed. There was some black substance around him, seeming to have shielded him, but as Ryuu watched, it shrank down until it was a pair of disks below Obito's left palm.

"What is that?" Ryuu breathed.

Just then, Hiruzen hurled a massive shuriken and used Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu to multiply it into a couple dozen. Obito held his right hand out, a sphere of the same black substance appearing behind it as a hole opened through it. Then, Obito flew forward, the black disks below his left hand expanding as he held them out. When the shuriken touched the disks, they were blasted into pieces, allowing Obito to fly at Hiruzen. Just as Obito got clear of the Shuriken, the other sphere sprouted a spike that shot out, hitting Hiruzen in the shoulder with three disks on the end, blasting his arm off. Then, Obito's left shape deconstructed itself and Obito grabbed Hiruzen by the face.

"He's finished," Ryuu breathed.

Sure enough, a moment later the disks regrew and blasted Hiruzen's upper body into scraps of paper.

"Damn," Ryuu growled. "What is that stuff?"

"Relax," Konan said, landing beside him. "The Hokage are all reanimated, remember? They can't die."

"I know," Ryuu nodded. "But that stuff...It's more than three Chakra Natures at once if I had to guess. I'd bet it's all five."

"So?" Fu asked.

"If it has all of the Chakra Natures," Ryuu said. "It can block them all as well. All chakra."

"Including reanimation," Konan breathed.

"Madara was right," Ryuu growled. "Fu, stay as far away from him as you can."

Ryuu looked toward the real Hashirama who was moving to help, since his clone had been easily destroyed when it had tried to help the Second Hokage attack it. However, Hashirama was blocked by Madara landing in front of him.

"Damn Madara," Ryuu growled before turning back to Obito. "Looks like we're on our own."

Just then, Obito leapt at Naruto and the others to attack but before he could, he expanded into a massive ball. He crashed down and Minato sprinted forward, the real one appearing beside the clone. As they charged, however, Obito's upper body burst out of the ground below Naruto's toad, blasting it backward. Then, Obito moved to attack Naruto, one of the two spheres extending as a spear again, as it had with Hiruzen. At the last second, Sasuke's Susanoo's hand blocked the attack, stopping it.

"Susanoo...isn't affected?" Ryuu blinked before grinning. "Glad to see I'll be of use."

Just as he finished speaking, Obito's legs stretched around and kicked both Minatos away. Then, Obito's upper body flashed over, grabbing both by the face, preparing to blast them. At the last second, Naruto grabbed both Sasuke and Minato with a Chakra Arm, allowing Minato to teleport them away, saving them both. Then, Obito's stretched body broke out of the ground, his torso and face beginning to swell again, as though he were about to explode. He raised an arm, the black sphere launching out of it, but it missed Naruto and his group, expanding rapidly in the distance before shrinking back down and returning. It stopped beside him, but Ryuu, who had been watching the ball, realized that the ball had hit him, and blasted half his body away.

"He's not in control," Ryuu realized. "That's what's going on. They need to hit him right now."

Minato sprinted forward to do just that, Obito swelling up more and more as Minato neared. Then, a massive cloud of dust shot up around Obito. Ryuu swallowed hard as it began to thin.

"Please be gone," Ryuu growled. "Please let both have killed themselves fighting for control."

The dust cleared and revealed he was not only wrong, but that it was worse than he could have feared. Obito now floated just above the ground, holding a long black khakkhara with a large ring on the end and six smaller ones hanging from it, and several of the black spheres floating in the air behind himself in a circle. There were six tomoe across the front of his shoulders, four protrusions around his head and a pair of horns on his forehead with the right being larger than the left, and scales extended from his waist, hanging around him like an open full-length cloak. He looked up in time to block Minato's kunai, the blade snapping against the staff. Then, his free hand swung around, smashing Minato's arm off before Minato teleported away. However, as he reappeared, a floating black sphere next to his shoulder began to shine.

"Oh no," Ryuu breathed. "This is so very not good."

"What's going on?" Konan asked.

"He's gained control of the Ten-tails, and has full access to its power," Ryuu breathed.

Then, the light of the sphere grew blindingly bright. They shielded their eyes, but it didn't help.

"Oh this is just fucking amazing," Ryuu growled.
