Countless allied shinobi were completely obliterated in the blinding white light, reduced to mere ashes.
A violent shockwave, like a tsunami, swept across the entire battlefield.
The allied forces suffered devastating casualties.
Observing everything through his Byakugan, the mastermind behind this devastation—Danzo—witnessed the scene unfold.
To maximize enemy casualties and create an opportunity for the final battle, he had carefully laid his trap.
After most of Konoha's forces had evacuated the camp, he used Konan's "Shikigami Dance" technique to plant thousands of explosive tags in every corner of the base.
His disguise was flawless, successfully deceiving the entire allied force.
After all, in the original timeline, Konan had once used this very technique to turn explosive tags into an ocean, even fooling Uchiha Obito and forcing him to sacrifice one of his eyes.
Although Danzo didn't have six hundred billion explosive tags, he had still used every single one he could get his hands on.
And to ensure the perfect detonation, he entrusted the trigger to Minato—the only one capable of teleporting away in time.
Furthermore, to lure more allied shinobi into the camp, Danzo had gathered a legion of Konoha death squads willing to sacrifice themselves for victory.
With Danzo's solemn promise, they had shouted "For Konoha!" and rushed back into the base...
In the end, the plan was executed flawlessly.
Yet, Danzo's expression remained grim.
Because this victory had been bought with the lives of countless warriors.
His narrowed eyes gleamed with a near-mad killing intent.
"Rest assured… I will not let your deaths be in vain."
The next second, a Katsuyu clone beside him spoke up.
"Reporting to command—everything is in position. We can initiate the plan at any time."
Danzo's raspy voice echoed:
"Do it."

Frontlines
At the front lines, the surviving allied shinobi stood in shock, staring at the massive crater left behind by the simultaneous detonation of the explosive tags.
What the hell just happened?
But shock soon gave way to overwhelming terror.
"Lord Raikage...?"
"Where is Lord Raikage?!"
The surviving Kumo shinobi snapped out of their daze and rushed toward the crater, frantically searching for their leader.
Meanwhile, Onoki, who had avoided the explosion by not entering the base himself, also had an incredibly dark expression.
After all, it wasn't just Kumogakure forces that had stormed the base—many of Iwagakure's elite had also joined the assault.
And with this one attack, Danzo had severely crippled the entire Allied Shinobi Army.
If both the Raikage and the AB Combo had also perished, Onoki couldn't even begin to imagine how they could continue this war.
Thankfully, as the remaining Kumo shinobi cried out, a powerful figure finally emerged from the crater.
It was the Third Raikage.
His Lightning Release Armor was still active, shrouding his body in crackling energy.
His golden hair stood on end like a spiky mane, and the intense lightning aura around him surged violently into the sky.
There was no doubt—this man, known as the "Strongest Shield" and the "Strongest Spear," had entered a state of pure rage!
Although the explosion had failed to break through his defense, the sheer force of the blast had still caused internal injuries.
The blood dripping from his nose and mouth was the clearest proof of that.
However, what truly enraged the Third Raikage wasn't his own injuries—
It was the massacre of his subordinates.
Nearly every single shinobi who had stormed the base had been wiped out.
Aside from himself and possibly the AB Combo, the rest were completely annihilated!
That was what made the Third Raikage seethe with rage the most!
"DANZO! I WILL KILL YOU!"
Like an enraged lion, he let out a furious roar.
At the same time, A (Fourth Raikage) and Killer Bee finally crawled out from the wreckage.
A had also been protected by his Lightning Release Armor, but it was obvious—his defense wasn't as strong as his father's.
The amount of blood he lost was far greater, and his face had turned noticeably pale.
Surprisingly, Killer Bee was in relatively good shape.
The moment the explosion erupted, Gyūki (Eight-Tails) had instinctively shared its chakra, neutralizing most of the damage.
"As expected of the legendary 'Darkness of the Shinobi World'..."
"Good thing we didn't act recklessly."
A burly man clad in red armor, Han (Five-Tails' Jinchūriki), swallowed hard.
If they had joined the charge earlier, they would've either died or been critically injured.
Beside him, Rōshi (Four-Tails' Jinchūriki) gave a silent nod.
Even though they were all Jinchūriki, there was still a clear difference between them.
As a Perfect Jinchūriki, Killer Bee's Tailed Beast automatically protected him when sensing danger.
But for ordinary Jinchūriki like them, they would've likely been incinerated before even realizing what happened.
Of course, the only reason they hadn't joined the initial attack was thanks to Ōnoki's caution.
That old, cunning Tsuchikage had suspected Danzo had a hidden trump card.
He just never expected that it would be this terrifying...
As the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief, an Iwagakure shinobi suddenly rushed over.
"Lords Han and Rōshi! Orders from the Tsuchikage!"
Without hesitation, Han took the written command, while Rōshi leaned in to read it as well.
Even though he didn't agree with Ōnoki's ideology and their relationship was strained, he had no choice but to follow orders in such a critical moment.
Han swiftly unrolled the command scroll, and his eyes immediately locked onto four words that he would never forget for the rest of his life—
"Sword of Shinobi Love" (忍爱の剑)
His pupils shrank to the extreme in an instant.
Just as he was about to unleash his Boil Release: Steam Cloak, a golden flash appeared before him!
Minato appeared the moment Han read the message.
Without hesitation, he grabbed Han's wrist.
Before Han could even react, Minato had already activated the Flying Thunder God Technique again.
Like an actual flash of lightning, Konoha's superstar prodigy vanished within a fraction of a second.
But this time, he wasn't the only one who disappeared.
Han was gone too.
Seeing Han disappear into thin air, Rōshi's expression first froze in shock—
Then, it twisted into uncontrollable rage!
"YOU TRAITOR!"
His body erupted with searing magma, and in his blind fury, he grabbed the Iwagakure shinobi's throat with his burning hand.
The shinobi, however, smiled eerily, his blood-red eyes revealing a slowly spinning black pattern.
The Sharingan!
Rōshi realized it too late—
This man had already been placed under Konoha's genjutsu!
But his anger had already overridden his rationality.
By the time he understood the situation, the blazing magma from his hand had already melted the shinobi to ashes.
As the corpse crumbled away, Rōshi turned toward his remaining allies and roared in fury—
"SOMEONE ALERT THE TSUCHIKAGE! IMMEDIATELY!"
On the other side of the battlefield, Han immediately sensed something was wrong.
Without hesitation, he unleashed a massive wave of scorching steam in all directions.
For ordinary people, this attack would have boiled them alive instantly.
Unfortunately, his opponent was none other than the "Yellow Flash," Namikaze Minato.
The moment Minato successfully teleported Han, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique once again, vanishing from the battlefield before Han could counterattack!
Even Danzo couldn't help but admire his terrifying reaction speed.
"As expected of broken character!" he thought to himself.
Despite failing to counter Minato, Han wasn't discouraged.
He didn't know where he had been transported, but it probably wasn't too far.
With the power of the Five-Tails inside him, he was confident he could hold out until Iwagakure's reinforcements arrived.
However—
The moment he saw the figures surrounding him, that confidence was shattered to pieces.
"I'll leave the rest to you all," Minato's calm voice echoed.
Then, from different directions, four powerful shinobi stepped forward—
Orochimaru
Jiraiya
Uchiha Fugaku
Uchiha Shisui
Han: "..."
Wait a minute, I'm just a small Jinchūriki...
Did they really need to send this many monsters?!
Orochimaru licked his lips. "As expected of the 'Darkness of the Shinobi World.' What a sinister move."
If he had been in Han's place, he wouldn't have been able to come up with a way to escape either.
Two Sannin, two Mangekyō Sharingan users, and the Yellow Flash.
How is this even fair?!
Far away, in the center of the battlefield, Danzo smirked.
The inspiration for this strategy came from the Fourth Shinobi War in the original timeline.
During that war, Minato and Tobirama had used a technique called 'Flying Thunder God: Mutual Instantaneous Rotation' to teleport large numbers of shinobi.
This made Danzo realize—
"Wait, can't Flying Thunder God teleport enemies as well?"
Minato had agreed with the idea.
As long as there was chakra contact, Flying Thunder God could transfer anyone—whether an ally or an enemy.
In the original story, Minato had used this exact method to teleport the entire Allied Shinobi Forces.
Danzo couldn't help but think:
"How is this technique even balanced?!
Oh, wait… Minato is on our side?
Never mind, then.
Using this broken ability, along with Minato's insane reaction speed, they had executed a perfect capture of the Five-Tails' Jinchūriki.
---
The moment Han saw all six powerful enemies before him, a single thought filled his mind—
"I'm done for."
The very next second, he made a drastic decision—
He completely released his Tailed Beast's seal!
Up until now, Han had only used his seal to extract the Five-Tails' chakra for himself.
This was how most imperfect Jinchūriki operated.
Since they hadn't earned the Tailed Beast's trust, they could only control its chakra through a constant tug-of-war.
But this time was different.
Realizing he had no chance of escape, Han gave up on maintaining control.
By releasing the seal, he abandoned his own consciousness—
Which meant...
The Five-Tails was now completely free.
It would no longer be restrained.
It was about to unleash its full, true form upon the battlefield!
