An army of Susanoo!
Tobirama silently rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly.
"It seems that, whether in the past or present, the Uchiha clan is always such a troublesome bunch."
Just take this as a reference; how exactly did this guy die back then?
Otsutsuki Kou looked at Xi ahead, his gaze darkening.
"This person perished in a fierce battle with Otsutsuki Shaka, the Fourth leader of the Ninja Sect Clan."
Similar to him, Otsutsuki Shaka also inherited the immense life force of his grandfather, Asura, the second leader of the Otsutsuki Ninja Sect. He relied on his powerful self-healing ability to withstand the gravitational field and engage in close combat with him.
Ultimately, he succeeded in killing him at the cost of his own life.
"... Immense vitality and self-healing ability?"
Kakashi murmured to himself, the image of that towering figure flashing through his mind.
He subconsciously glanced at the other battlefield where Hashirama and Madara were, sensing the oppressive aura emanating from Madara, and decisively shook his head.
"No, the First was already struggling to hold Madara back, so he couldn't possibly attend to this side."
Kakashi looked at the four people, including Otsutsuki Xi, ahead of him, pondered for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly:
"Is our only option to try and buy them time?"
"Young man, there's no need to be so pessimistic."
Otsutsuki Kou looked up at the sky and smiled softly.
"We are not without ways to deal with him."
Kakashi's heart tightened, and he was about to ask a question when he suddenly sensed something and his body instinctively tensed up.
He instinctively looked up, his pupils suddenly contracting.
"That is..."
In the sky, a shadow plummeted rapidly from high above, shrouding the ground below in darkness.
A massive, muscular, and ferocious crimson giant fell from mid-air.
Its form is comparable to a third-stage Susanoo, its entire body is crimson red, covered with crimson muscles, and exudes a strong life force.
Its face is ferocious and majestic, with two horns on its forehead and fangs showing in its mouth, like a demon god that has stepped out of an ancient painting!
Otsutsuki Ori, the last leader of the Ninja Sect.
It was also a monster known as "Otsutsuki Ori" at the beginning of the chaotic era!
It fell from the sky at an extremely high speed, slamming its fist into the ground below.
That punch was aimed Otsutsuki Xi!
Compared to that enormous body, the figure wearing a haori looked very small.
Otsutsuki Xi looked up at the figure in the sky and murmured in surprise:
"Is he a descendant of the Ninja Sect? He's turned into this monstrous state; it seems he's tainted the power of the God Tree..."
"Ha, the Ninja Sect, truly a bunch of hypocrites."
He disdainfully looked away, a flash of red light appearing in his Mangekyō Sharingan.
"The Ōmononushi."
As he finished speaking, the immense gravity on the crimson giant, who was rapidly falling, suddenly increased.
The massive body paused in mid-air, and the sound of bones cracking could be heard from within it.
But the giant seemed completely unconcerned, bearing the immense pressure, and continued its attack on the figure below wearing a haori.
Just as the crimson giant's enormous fist was about to strike his body, a yellowish-brown skeleton appeared around Otsutsuki Xi.
The Susanoo skeleton developed cracks under the impact of the giant fist, seemingly on the verge of falling apart, but it managed to barely withstand the blow.
"That vibrant life force... I really miss it."
Through the cracks in the Susanoo skeleton, Otsutsuki Xi looked at the crimson giant before her, a faint sense of emotion appearing in her eyes.
"While you, young one, may not be inferior to Shakyamuni in terms of vitality, you are far inferior in strength!"
He spoke passionately, and the earthen-yellow Susanoo skeleton suddenly changed.
With its skeleton expanding, muscles covering it, and armor condensing, the earthen-yellow Susanoo leaped from its second-stage skeletal form to its third-stage Crow Tengu form!
Its size increased to the same level as the crimson giant, and a huge axe materialized in its hand.
The blade of that knife and axe was broad and heavy, as if the weight of the entire earth had been condensed into that single sharp edge.
As if sensing the impending crisis, a glint of clarity flashed in Otsutsuki Ori's crimson pupils.
He retreated instantly, landing beside Otsutsuki Kou, and reverted to human form.
Otsutsuki Kou looked at his close friend beside him and subconsciously spoke up:
"Are you alright, Zhi?"
Don't worry, I'm fine.
Besides, we're in Impure World Reincarnation Body now, so it's not really a question of whether we're in trouble or not.
Otsutsuki Ori joked, then looked ahead, her tone becoming slightly more serious:
"Compared to this, Kou..."
We're probably in big trouble now.
Ahead of them, Uchiha Jiahao two companions were also enveloped by the third stage of Susanoo.
Crimson, jet black, and dark purple Crow Tengu and earthen-yellow Susanoo stand together here.
Meanwhile, several Impure World Reincarnation Uchiha were already surrounding the group.
Those pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan watched over the Jinchuriki among them, and more than a dozen Susanoo Crow Tengu of the third stage stood among the crowd, like demons from hell!
Tobirama this, Tobirama's expression instantly darkened, and he shouted loudly to the people around him:
"Gather around me, prepare to retreat--"
"No need!!" ×2
Before he could finish speaking, two youthful voices suddenly rang out from in front of the crowd.
Sasuke and Naruto stood side by side at the forefront of the battlefield.
Naruto turned to look at everyone, a big smile spreading across his face:
"Yo, Kakashi, and everyone else, we've kept you waiting... we're back!"
"Naruto, Sasuke!"
Kakashi looked at the two people in front of him and felt a surge of joy.
He opened his mouth, about to ask something, but Tobirama preemptively asked the two of them in a deep voice:
"Since you're here, it means the plan... is complete, right?"
Naruto nodded and gave everyone a thumbs up.
"Don't worry, everyone, everything is going smoothly."
Brother Kou will be here soon!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Naruto's reply.
Kakashi, Guy, Asuma exchanged glances, seeing a sense of relief in each other's eyes.
"Hmph, don't be too happy yet."
The war... is not over yet.
Sasuke stood beside Naruto, his gaze sweeping over each of the Susanoo, the patterns in his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan slowly rotating:
"Naruto, let's all come at him together."
Send these dead... back!!
"Ah!"
Naruto responded loudly, his body radiating golden-orange Chakra.
The Nine-Tails Chakra Mode was activated, and golden-orange Chakra instantly enveloped everyone, causing golden-orange Tailed Beast Cloak to appear on their bodies.
At the same time, Sasuke also summoned Susanoo.
The purple giant materialized from the void, then transformed into a purple stream of light, attaching itself to the Nine-Tails's body.
In the blink of an eye, the Nine-Tails, clad in Susanoo armor, stood firmly on the earth!
Meanwhile, anomalies were detected on all sides of the battlefield.
On the battlefield where Itachi and Jiraiya were, both of their completed Susanoo were badly damaged.
Obito's Susanoo reduced to only half a torso, and Itachi's Susanoo similarly damaged.
Jiraiya was panting heavily within the orange-red Susanoo, his face pale, clearly suffering from the effects of overusing Senjutsu Chakra.
Obito, inside the crystal at the head of Susanoo, gazed in the direction where the Nine- Nine-Tails Susanoo had appeared, a slight smile curving his lips.
"... Have you already returned?"
"Let me see, knock."
He sensed the overwhelming pressure emanating from Ban in the distance and murmured to himself:
"Can you really defeat the current Ban?"
Prove to him, to me, to everyone... that you are the one who can lead the Ninja World to peace—the savior!!
I had an IV drip yesterday, and I'm finally back to normal today. I'll try to catch up on what I've missed tomorrow at 3 AM.
