Real-world battlefield.
"Dead people shouldn't cause trouble!"
Naruto, dressed in fiery red, leaped from the sky, a small Tailed Beast Bomb appearing in his hand.
The Impure World Reincarnation Uchiha calmly drew a fan from behind him and blocked Naruto's Tailed Beast Bomb head-on.
"Boom!"
The moment the two collided, sand and gravel flew everywhere.
Naruto was taken aback.
Tailed Beast Bomb...
It was canceled out so easily?
Uchiha Madara's lips curled into a strange smile as he gently fanned himself with his palm-leaf fan.
"Uchiha..."
"A rebound!"
To Naruto's astonishment, a dazzling light enveloped him.
"Boom!"
An even stronger impact than before slammed directly into Naruto.
The billowing smoke and dust blotted out the sky, enveloping the entire battlefield.
A figure suddenly emerged from the smoke and dust.
Uchiha...
Spot!
At the edge of the battlefield, Hatake Kakashi and Might Guy swallowed hard.
Even with Naruto's immense power, he was still no match for Uchiha Madara?
Uchiha Madara slowly walked to Obito's side.
"Leave the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails to me, these two are yours."
Uchiha Madara vanished from the spot in a flash.
"What? You're dreaming!"
Might Guy gritted his teeth and charged towards Uchiha Madara.
In the arena, only Obito and Kakashi remained, staring at each other.
"Obito, what's wrong with you?" Kakashi asked, one eye closed, his face filled with disbelief. "How could you be with someone like that..."
"Don't speak. No matter the reason, I still hate you, Kakashi."
Obito's expression was somewhat complicated, but his tone was icy.
Kakashi was taken aback.
You'll know why I did it later.
Obito said something in a low voice.
Kakashi didn't hear those words.
On the other side.
Uchiha Madara stepped into the smoke and dust, and Naruto's figure appeared as well.
"Give up the struggle, you can't possibly be my match."
Uchiha Madara looked at Naruto quietly, his tone full of disdain.
"Dream on, you bastard! I'm the son of the Fourth Hokage!"
Naruto Uchiha Madara.
"And my brother is the First Twilight Shadow!"
Uchiha Madara gave a mocking smile. "Is that so? I've only held back because you're the true form of Jinchūriki. Since you're so ungrateful, then I won't show any mercy!"
Instantly, pale blue Chakra surged out from his body, enveloping him like Wind Style: Air Vortex.
"My Nine-Tails was once defeated; now you'll taste the bitterness too."
A gigantic Wood Dragon burst forth from the ground, surging towards Naruto with an invincible aura.
"I won't show mercy to those who are already dead, because..."
"You're already dead!"
Naruto took a step forward, and golden-red Chakra shot into the sky, extending downwards in mid-air, quickly forming the shape of the Nine-Tails.
"Hmph, stubborn as a mule!"
Uchiha Madara coldly, and the Wood Dragon hovering in mid-air charged towards the Chakra Nine-Tails.
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
The two enormous creatures collided instantly.
The Wood Dragon tightly coiled around the massive body of the Nine-Tails Chakra, Chakra Nine-Tails bit into the Wood Dragon's body, appearing to be evenly matched.
Just as the two enormous creatures were tearing at each other, Naruto's expression turned very ugly.
Although it seemed like a distance, Naruto could actually sense that Chakra 'Kurama was no match for the Wood Dragon, and defeat was only a matter of time.
"Hey, Kurama, this can't go on."
Naruto said anxiously in his mind.
Kurama's expression was equally grim, struggling to hold on. "I know it's no use, but what can I do? Wood Release doesn't make sense."
Seeing that Kurama was also helpless, Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly.
Under Uchiha Madara's disdainful gaze, the massive body of the Nine-Tails, Chakra, vanished instantly, leaving the Wood Dragon empty-handed.
Naruto's figure shot up like lightning, instantly rising from the ground and rushing towards Uchiha Madara with a sharp gust of wind.
"A stubborn insect putting up a last-ditch resistance."
Uchiha Madara coldly, slung the palm-leaf fan behind his back, and picked up an ordinary Ninja Blade from the ground.
"I haven't used it in a long time, so I'm still getting used to it."
Uchiha Madara gave a self-deprecating laugh.
The next moment, a bright blue light suddenly shot out from the Ninja Blade.
"Cut!"
A faint sound instantly resounded throughout the entire battlefield.
"Boom!"
A deep blue light shot into the sky, appearing on the battlefield like a mountain peak connecting heaven and earth.
Naruto's charge towards Uchiha Madara abruptly halted, staring in shock at the sword strike that was inches away.
It's that kind of swordsmanship again!
Aside from Uchiha Kei, he had only ever seen it on Uchiha Izuna.
Even Itachi couldn't reach this level!
When did these incredible gadgets become so common?
The overwhelming blade of light suddenly tilted, slashing fiercely towards Naruto.
Naruto glanced back at the Shinobi Alliance fighting to the death against various resurrected enemies and White Zetsu.
Don't hide!
If they manage to evade, the Shinobi Alliance will suffer heavy losses!
Gritting his teeth, Naruto immediately unleashed Ninjutsu.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
In an instant, hundreds and thousands of fiery red Naruto appeared on the battlefield.
Each face bore a resolute expression, a dumpling clutched in their hand, as they charged headlong into the blade's edge.
"Bang bang bang!"
Every Shadow Clone that came into contact with the blade's edge instantly turned into smoke.
They couldn't even defend themselves!
Soon, hundreds and thousands of Shadow Clone turned into smoke, leaving only the original body.
"Wind Release - Rasenshuriken!"
Naruto roared and hurled the Rasenshuriken that had formed in his hand.
Pity...
The once invincible Rasenshuriken vanished as soon as it touched the blade's edge, like Shadow Clone.
"No, we can't retreat! We have to hold them off!"
Naruto muttered to himself as crimson Nine-Tails Chakra bees coiled around his body.
Inside Naruto's body.
"You've made up your mind?" Kurama frowned.
"We'll stop them, even if it means death!"
Naruto answered firmly.
Kurama sighed, "Fine, I won't die anyway."
After saying that, a large ball of pure Nine-Tails Chakra rushed out from its body and merged into Naruto's body.
That's all I can do to help you.
"Kurama said with some sadness."
Based on its perception, even if Naruto tried his best, such swordsmanship would be futile.
However, if this silly boy wants to be a hero, then so be it.
The only downside is that Jing, that bastard, hasn't reconstructed my physical body yet.
Fraud...
The Kurama lay quietly on the ground, muttering to himself, awaiting death.
In reality.
Naruto suddenly opened his eyes, and with a swift movement of his hands, a ball of pitch-black light emerged from his fingertips.
The moment the pitch-black sphere appeared, it expanded countless times, blotting out the sky!
"Go!"
Naruto roared, and a jet-black ball of light rose up, heading straight for the blade's edge.
Even the strongest ant is still an ant!
Uchiha Madara's indifferent voice rang out.
Just as he had said, the pitch-black sphere of light collided with the blade's edge, silently and instantly sliced in two, vanishing into nothingness!
"It failed..."
Naruto lowered his head in disappointment.
Like a movie playing in my mind, countless images flashed by one by one.
"Pity..."
Naruto muttered to himself, "I haven't properly said goodbye to Kei yet."
For three months after that day, he never saw Jing again.
Yitao said Jing went to a very far place and she didn't know when she would be back.
If I had known it was the last time I would see him, I wouldn't have run away even if Jing had beaten me up.
Pity...
Naruto was completely exhausted, and the Nine-Tails Mode had long since dissipated. He collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"When!"
A crisp sound rang in his ears, Naruto raised his head in confusion.
A slender Ninja Blade forcefully withstood the terrifying blade's attack.
Naruto's eyes widened as he looked expectantly at the figure in front of him.
Could he be the person I've been hoping for?
