Meanwhile, elsewhere.
After receiving the memories from his Shadow Clone, Naruto's expression turned grim.
"Even seven of us... couldn't beat him..."
He murmured under his breath, his voice hoarse and heavy.
Beside him, Jiraiya noticed his expression and asked a question.
"What's wrong, Naruto?"
Naruto gritted his teeth.
"Things aren't looking good for Granny Tsunade... The real Madara Uchiha is too strong. Even all seven of us together are no match for him."
"Not even the Five Kage could beat him?"
Kakashi spoke in shock from beside them, his pupils contracting slightly.
Jiraiya fell silent for a moment as well, Tsunade's image flashing through his mind.
"Then we need to finish things here as quickly as possible."
Might Guy spoke gravely, the eyes beneath his thick brows growing more solemn.
He stared at Obito, who stood in front of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and clenched his fists tight.
"Bushy-Brow Sensei is right."
Naruto abruptly raised his head, suppressing all those negative emotions as fighting spirit reignited in his golden eyes.
"What we need to do now is take down the guy in front of us!"
As he spoke, his hands rapidly formed hand seals.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Smoke burst out in quick succession, and three clones appeared beside him, standing shoulder to shoulder with the original.
"Let's go!"
"Yeah!"
All four figures charged at once, each forming a Rasengan in his hand. They darted and weaved through the ruins, using the rubble as cover to keep their opponent from distinguishing the original from the clones.
"Naruto, watch out for his ability!"
Jiraiya shouted the warning as he charged forward at the same time.
"I know, Pervy Sage!"
Naruto answered without slowing his steps in the slightest.
The four figures closed in on Obito simultaneously
