Sage Art: Five Right Guard Formation!
Originally a collaborative Sage Technique performed by Jiraiya and the Two Great Sages. Jiraiya provided the oil, Fukasaku utilized Wind Release, and Shima unleashed Fire Release. Together, the combination created an immensely destructive force capable of incinerating everything in its path, theoretically devouring all tangible matter.
But Naruto, with his exceptional chakra control and the aid of his shadow clones, could execute this technique all on his own!
Whoosh!!!
A sea of flames, fueled by oil and empowered by wind, surged forth as an overwhelming inferno, rivaling the World of Flowering Trees. Its sheer intensity surpassed even the Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame once unleashed by Madara Uchiha!
Boom!
For a long moment, the forest and the fire clashed, neither yielding. Eventually, both were consumed in mutual annihilation!!
Thick, hot smoke billowed into the sky, obscuring vision.
"Well, that was blocked," Tobi remarked casually.
Obito observed with a calm yet calculating gaze. "That's the current Uzumaki Naruto for you. Even without the Rinnegan, his combat power rivals Sasuke's. With the Rinnegan, he could almost stand toe-to-toe with Madara."
"Speaking of Madara..." Tobi clapped his hands together.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground quaked as the Wood Release: Thousand-Armed Kannon rose from the earth!
As the smoke cleared, Konan stared at the colossal figure in shock. "What is that?"
Naruto's expression turned solemn. "It has finally appeared. That's the ninjutsu version of the True Several Thousand Hands. Without the infusion of Sage Chakra, it's essentially an enhanced version of the Wood Golem Technique, but it can already contend with the Complete Body Susanoo!"
Konan's face hardened. "How do we fight something like that?"
Atop the Kannon's head, Tobi and Obito stood side by side.
"Let's start with an appetizer," Tobi said nonchalantly.
The five faces on the Kannon's head opened their mouths simultaneously.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Powerful ninjutsu representing the five elements—water, fire, earth, wind, and lightning—descended like a storm!
Naruto formed hand seals. "Bring it on!"
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
Four shadow clones appeared, each forming different hand seals in coordination with Naruto.
Sage Art: Five-Element Barrage!
Streams of the five elements collided midair, neutralizing each other!
"Impressive," Konan remarked. "You know so many techniques."
Poof! The shadow clones vanished.
Naruto chuckled, though his heart was tense. "I've mastered almost all of Konoha's ninjutsu, except for bloodline limits and secret clan techniques."
But inwardly, he thought, The true power of the True Several Thousand Hands isn't its elemental attacks!
Tobi formed hand seals. "Now, for the main course."
Pseudo: Top Transcendence Buddha!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Kannon advanced, and countless arms extended from the oval plate on its back, forming a canopy of fists that rained down like a storm!
Naruto's gaze sharpened. "Without the power of the Deva Path, that's nearly impossible to counter! But it's not unbeatable, as long as I'm willing to spend the chakra!"
Ninja Art: Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!!
Thousands of shadow clones appeared, each wielding a massive Rasengan. Using the enhanced leap power of Sage Mode, they launched themselves toward the descending fists!
Sage Art: Massive Rasengan Barrage!
This was the same technique Naruto had used to dismantle Sasuke's Crow Tengu Susanoo in the Land of Iron. But now, the number of shadow clones was several times greater!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Massive Rasengan Barrage clashed with the Pseudo: Top Transcendence Buddha's fists, shaking the heavens and earth!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Poof! Poof! Poof!
The wooden fists shattered one after another, while the shadow clones dissipated in turn.
Finally, the Pseudo: Top Transcendence Buddha was neutralized, and the Kannon lost all of its arms.
Naruto's shadow clones vanished completely, and his Sage Chakra was depleted. He reverted from Sage Mode, breathing heavily.
"Huff, huff..." Naruto panted. "This is bad. To conserve chakra for the battle against Obito, I didn't prepare any clones to store Sage Chakra!"
Clang!
The oval plate detached from the Kannon's body as the True Several Thousand Hands shed its excess weight and advanced toward Naruto.
Swish!
Konan stepped in front of Naruto, shielding him.
Atop the Kannon, Tobi crossed his arms and asked mockingly, "Hey, lady over there. Can I ask you a question?"
Konan's voice was icy. "What is it?"
"Umm..." Tobi scratched his head in a carefree manner. "What does it feel like to… you know… poop?"
Konan's expression remained stoic. "Who knows?"
"Huh?" Tobi's tone turned sly. "That's strange. Even if you're beautiful, you still have to poop, right? Or do you not? Where does all the food you eat go?"
Konan's face turned frosty.
Naruto quickly interjected, "Sister Konan, don't stoop to his level! He's a natural-born provocateur!"
"Oh, I won't stoop to his level," Konan replied calmly. But her hand seals told a different story.
Summoning Jutsu: Explosive Tag Grand Formation!
Whoosh!!!
Countless explosive tags emerged from the ground, flowing up from beneath the Kannon. Within seconds, they covered its entire body!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
An earth-shattering series of explosions followed!
"What did you just do?" Naruto asked, stunned.
Konan lowered her hands. "I summoned one-sixth of the explosive tags I had stored in Amegakure. No prior setup was needed. This is the limit of what I can deploy."
Naruto shivered, thinking, Note to self: never anger Sister Konan. She'll blow me to pieces!
Clang!!!
As the explosions subsided, the Kannon collapsed into a pile of splintered wood.
Tobi muttered, "What an unreasonable woman. I was hoping to see her poop someday. Oh well, I'm done playing."
"Uzumaki Naruto," Obito said, observing Naruto's chakra flow. "He's no longer in Sage Mode. Now's the time to strike!"
Whoosh!
Obito teleported behind Naruto.
Ten kilometers away, in a hidden location.
Orochimaru extracted a drop of blood from a small snake's fang.
"Your turn, Hidan."
Slurp~!
Hidan licked the blood, his body turning a metallic black. He opened his shirt, exposing his chest, and used his foot to draw the Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood circle with his own blood.
"I dedicate everything to the great Lord Jashin! Let the heretic face divine punishment!!!" Hidan shouted fanatically, raising his iron spike and plunging it into his chest!
Slash!
The sudden, searing pain froze Obito in place. His eyes widened, and cold sweat dripped from his face.
Drip, drip.
Blood stained the chest of Obito's Akatsuki cloak.
His Sharingan, bloodshot and filled with disbelief, darted around. "This is…"
"Curse Technique: Death Controlling Possessed Blood. Akatsuki once used this to kill Chiriku, the high monk of the Fire Temple, and Asuma Sarutobi of the Leaf. The latter was a respected elder of mine. Now, I return the favor."
Naruto turned to face Obito, reaching for his mask.
"Not good—he's going to use his hidden right eye!"
Obito's pupils contracted as he quickly raised his hand. With a sharp crack, he broke off the left side of his own mask, revealing another Sharingan underneath!
Zzz! Zzz!
Naruto's right eye and Obito's left eye glowed simultaneously!
Kotoamatsukami!
Izanagi!
