A Heart-Stopping Battle

However, this thrilling battle is far from over. Although Madara is firmly bound by Hashirama's powerful Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique and has temporarily lost his ability to move, he is still an extremely powerful enemy and his threat should not be underestimated.

Hashirama knew this well, and he dared not relax for a moment. He immediately used a ninjutsu to absorb Madara's chakra. This move was originally Madara's signature technique, but Hashirama cleverly countered it, rendering Madara's chakra absorption ninjutsu completely ineffective.

At this critical moment, Naruto keenly seized this fleeting opportunity. Without hesitation, he unleashed his ultimate move— the Big Ball Rasenshuriken! This attack, like a burning meteor, streaked across the sky and hurtled straight toward the bound Madara.

Just as the fatal blow was about to hit its target, Madara suddenly revealed a cunning smile at the last moment. Just as Naruto was about to strike, something unexpected happened—Madara displayed astonishing control in this desperate situation; he actually controlled Obito Uchiha to activate the "Rinne Rebirth"!

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, and Madara seized the opportunity to successfully revive. His body seemed to be infused with a powerful energy; his previously listless muscles instantly became full of strength, and every nerve was throbbing joyfully. His steps were light and swift, like Inazuma, as he sped towards the location of the nine Tailed Beasts.

The nine Tailed Beasts are legendary beings, possessing world-destroying power. Yet he fearlessly charged straight at them, clearly intending to challenge these powerful Tailed Beasts.

At first, Madara was clearly at a disadvantage in the fierce battle against the nine Tailed Beasts. He had lost his eyes, which greatly reduced his strength. The Tailed Beasts' attacks came like Gale, and Madara could only barely parry them, his wounds continuing to multiply.

However, at this critical moment, a White Zetsu suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Its appearance caught everyone off guard, and what was even more surprising was that the White Zetsu returned Madara's Rinnegan to him.

This sudden turn of events instantly reversed the course of the battle. Madara, having obtained the Rinnegan, was as if he had been given a new life; his power was greatly enhanced. His eyes shone with a mysterious light, the power of the Rinnegan surging within them.

Madara swiftly unleashed the powerful abilities of the Rinnegan, unleashing terrifying power from his eyes. The nine Tailed Beasts were utterly powerless against this force, being defeated one by one and then absorbed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

At the same time, Naruto encountered a life-or-death crisis. Because Kurama was forcibly extracted from his body, his life force was greatly impacted, and his life was hanging by a thread. His body became extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, teetering on the verge of being extinguished at any moment.

Gaara witnessed this scene and was extremely anxious. He knew that Naruto's situation was extremely critical, and any delay could lead to irreversible consequences. Therefore, without hesitation, he took a step forward and rushed towards Naruto like Inazuma.

Just as Gaara was about to reach Naruto, Kurama suddenly spoke in a weak voice. Though faint, the voice was filled with pleading and fervor. Kurama told Gaara that it wanted him to take the dying Naruto to Sakura's location, because Sakura possessed superb Medical Ninjutsu, and perhaps only she could save Naruto's life.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gaara immediately hoisted Naruto onto his back and sped away like a gust of wind. His speed was as fast as Inazuma, as if the whole world was rushing past beneath his feet. He had only one thought in his mind: to get Naruto to Sakura's side as quickly as possible so that she could use her miraculous Medical Ninjutsu to save Naruto's life.

When Gaara finally arrived at Sakura's location, he found her already anxiously waiting there. Seeing Naruto on the verge of death, Sakura was heartbroken and frantic. Without hesitation, she poured all her energy into using her superb Medical Ninjutsu to do everything in her power to save Naruto's life.

However, despite Sakura's best efforts, Naruto's condition remained critical. His breathing was so weak it was almost imperceptible, and his life seemed on the verge of being extinguished. But Sakura did not give up. She held Naruto's hand tightly, continuously channeling her chakra into him, while using various Medical Ninjutsu to try to stabilize Naruto injuries.

At this critical moment, a figure appeared like a ghost—it was Kakashi Hatake! He formed hand seals and unleashed a mysterious space-time ninjutsu, instantly sucking Sakura and Naruto into another dimension.

This alternate dimension was chaotic, seemingly a realm independent of the real world. Here, Sakura and Naruto were temporarily freed from external interference, gaining a brief respite. However, their predicament was not over, for they still faced unknown challenges and dangers within this alternate dimension.

Just as Sakura and Naruto felt lost and helpless, a ripple suddenly appeared at the entrance to the alternate dimension, and a familiar figure slowly walked in. It was Obito Uchiha, who had already Awakening! He not only brought the Yin Kurama chakra that Black Zetsu had stolen, but also some of the One-Tail and Eight-Tails chakra.

Without hesitation, Obito Uchiha channeled his chakra into Naruto's body, instantly strengthening Naruto's previously weak aura as if he had gained new life. In Naruto's spiritual world, he finally met the legendary Sage of Six Paths Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

With a smile, the Sage of Six Paths revealed the origin of everything to Naruto. He told Naruto that he was the reincarnation of Ashura, the second son of the Sage of Six Paths, and that Naruto bore the heavy responsibility of saving the world. After a deep conversation with the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto gained a clearer understanding of his origins and mission, and his inner beliefs became even stronger.

After much deliberation, Naruto and Sasuke, facing a crossroads in their lives, made drastically different choices. They both unreservedly accepted the immense power bestowed upon them by the Sage of Six Paths, resolutely confronting the unknown challenges ahead.

Naruto slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, as if he had just experienced a long and deep dream. His consciousness gradually awoke from the chaos, as if he had just passed through a foggy forest and finally seen the light of day again. When he was fully awake, a strange and powerful force surged through his body like a raging torrent, leaving him astonished.

It turned out that during the time Naruto was unconscious, the Sage of Six Paths secretly injected an extremely powerful sealing technique—"Yang Power"—into his body. This mysterious power not only made Naruto's control over the nine Tailed Beasts within him more effortless, but also granted him a small portion of the Six Paths Sage Art Mode chakra, which was undoubtedly an invaluable gift.

Naruto trembled with excitement. He could clearly feel this new power surging within him, like a burning flame, giving him unprecedented confidence and courage. He knew that he now possessed the key conditions to unlock the Six Paths Sage Mode.

Without the slightest hesitation, Naruto immediately focused his mind and mobilized the surging chakra within his body. In an instant, his body seemed to be enveloped in a dazzling golden light, as if bathed in the morning sun, radiating a mesmerizing glow. The Six Paths Sage Mode was officially activated at this moment.

Naruto stood up, his gaze falling on Madara Uchiha not far away. Madara was staring at Naruto Shoichi astonishment, clearly not expecting Naruto to gain such power in such a short time.

Naruto smiled slightly and walked towards Madara step by step, each step radiating a powerful aura. Seeing this, Truth-Seeking Balls in his hand, trying to stop Naruto's advance.

However, Naruto was no longer the same as before. He easily kicked away Madara's Truth-Seeking Balls and continued to approach Madara. Madara was secretly alarmed when he saw this, and he immediately used various ninjutsu to try to block Naruto's attack.

But Naruto remained calm and composed. He nimbly dodged Madara's attack and instantly activated Yin–Yang Release: Technique. This is an extremely powerful ninjutsu capable of creating and destroying everything.

Naruto formed hand seals, and a dazzling beam of light shot out from his hands, striking Might Guy, who was on the Eight Gates Formation. The light enveloped Guy's body, and after a moment, Guy's injuries miraculously healed.

Upon witnessing this scene, Madara felt a surge of intense fear and shock. His eyes widened as he stared incredulously at Naruto before him, completely unprepared for the immense power Naruto could unleash.

Madara realized that his previous assessment of Naruto's strength had been a serious underestimation. Naruto had now far surpassed his imagination and become an extremely formidable opponent.

Faced with such a powerful Naruto, Madara knew he could no longer hold back. He took a deep breath, mobilized all his chakra, and prepared to engage in a life-or-death battle with Naruto.

In an instant, a terrifying aura emanated from Madara, and his speed and power reached their peak. He charged towards Naruto like Inazuma, every move and stance containing boundless killing intent and power.

Naruto was equally unyielding. He swiftly dodged Madara's attack and launched his own counterattack. His fists rained down on Madara's body like a Zhou Yu, each punch carrying tremendous force.

The two sides exchanged blows, neither giving an inch, and for a time the entire battlefield was enveloped in their fierce battle. Their figures crisscrossed in the air, their fists and palms colliding, producing a series of dull thuds.

The duel was exceptionally fierce, with both sides giving it their all and neither willing to concede easily. However, just when the two were locked in a stalemate, Naruto suddenly seized a fleeting opportunity.

He instantly unleashed a powerful ninjutsu, and a dazzling light burst forth from his hand, flying straight towards Madara like a burning meteor.

Seeing this, it was too late for Madara to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as the deadly meteor struck him, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the main body of the God Tree.

Under the immense impact, the God Tree began to shake violently, like a tree being battered by a hurricane, its leaves falling like raindrops. Madara was struck hard by this powerful force, his body flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering severe internal injuries.

Upon witnessing this scene, Naruto's anger was instantly ignited. His eyes snapped open, his already sharp gaze now burning like flames, making it impossible to look directly at him. His muscles tensed instantly, like springs compressed to their limit, containing boundless power.

In the next instant, Naruto, like a released spring, launched himself forward! His speed was Inazuma fast, leaving a blurry afterimage in the air, as if he had transcended the limitations of time and space. In the blink of an eye, he was like a cannonball, heading straight for Madara!

At this moment, the Rasengan in his hand was compressed to its limit. Originally only the size of a fist, the Rasengan had now become the size of a basketball, and it was still shrinking, flashing with dazzling light, like a star about to explode!

Madara was completely unprepared for Naruto's sudden and fierce attack. His pupils contracted sharply, and it was too late to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as the giant Rasengan flew straight toward him like a burning meteor, carrying an aura of world-destroying power!

With a deafening roar, the Rasengan slammed into Madara's body like a cannonball! In an instant, an unparalleled surge of energy erupted like a volcanic eruption, triggering a massive explosion!

The explosion was incredibly powerful, tearing the entire space apart in an instant. Countless fragments and dust flew everywhere, as if the end of the world had arrived! Madara's body was blasted into countless pieces by this attack, and even the God Tree itself was no match for this terrifying power, being forcibly severed!

Seeing this scene before him, Naruto finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the arduous battle was finally over, and he had finally defeated this powerful enemy. However, just as he relaxed his guard slightly, something unexpected happened... Madara's body suddenly began to change.

Madara's body gradually became transparent, as if it had lost its physical form. In the blink of an eye, his figure completely disappeared from the spot, as if he had never been there at all. Naruto stared in astonishment at this scene, completely unaware of where Madara had gone.

Just as Naruto was at a loss, Sasuke suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost. Sasuke's expression was serious, and he told Naruto that Madara had likely entered another dimension. It turned out that Madara had realized he was gradually losing the battle, so he decisively used a special ninjutsu to successfully enter another dimension.

His purpose in entering the alternate dimension was to retrieve the other Rinnegan from Obito Uchiha. With two Rinnegan, Madara's strength would be greatly enhanced. Sure enough, not long after, Madara reappeared on the battlefield.

At this moment, Madara exuded a powerful aura, his eyes flashing with the light of the Rinnegan, clearly indicating that he had successfully reclaimed the other Rinnegan. With his strength greatly increased, Madara did not hesitate to activate Infinite Tsukuyomi, an extremely terrifying ninjutsu. Once enveloped by it, everyone would be trapped in an endless genjutsu.

The Infinite Tsukuyomi has begun, and the entire world is enveloped in a soft moonlight. This moonlight seems to possess a certain magic, exerting an irresistible hypnotic force. People are all affected by this moonlight, closing their eyes and entering a dreamlike world.

Naruto stood rooted to the spot, anxiously watching his companions being hypnotized one by one by the moonlight. He was frantic, wanting to save them, but found himself blocked by a powerful force, unable to break through. This force was Sasuke's Susanoo, which blocked the moonlight and protected Naruto and the others who hadn't been hypnotized.

Naruto desperately wanted to break through the Susanoo's barrier to save his comrades who were being controlled by genjutsu. However, Sasuke stopped him, telling him it would be futile. Sasuke said that Sakura and Kakashi were just a hindrance and not worth Naruto saving.

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto was instantly enraged. He couldn't accept Sasuke's view of his comrades, especially Sakura and Kakashi, who had always been important people to Naruto. Naruto and Sasuke had a fierce argument, and the conflict between them seemed to finally erupt at that moment.

Just then, something unexpected happened. Black Zetsu, who had been lurking in the shadows, suddenly struck, piercing Madara's chest with incredible speed. Madara's eyes widened as he stared at Black Zetsu in disbelief; he had never imagined that he would be betrayed by Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu successfully resurrected Kaguya Otsutsuki using Madara's body. Kaguya's appearance made the whole situation extremely tense; her powerful chakra sent chills down everyone's spine. Seeing this, Naruto Sasuke immediately decided to join forces to fight Kaguya and stop her plot.

However, Kaguya's strength far exceeded their expectations. Despite Naruto and Sasuke's best efforts, they were unable to inflict any real damage on Kaguya. Kaguya easily withstood their attacks and gradually gained the upper hand.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Black Zetsu seized the opportunity to launch another scheme. Taking advantage of the moment Sasuke's Susanoo exploded, he controlled Naruto and Sasuke's bodies, rendering them incapable of resistance.

Enraged, Naruto struggled desperately and finally broke free from Black Zetsu's control. He glared at Kaguya, determined to join Sasuke in unleashing the final sealing technique to seal Kaguya away forever.

However, Kaguya used a powerful ninjutsu at the crucial moment, teleporting Naruto and Sasuke to different worlds. As a result, the Sage's Yin and Yang chakra could not function simultaneously, and the sealing technique lost its effectiveness.

Kaguya stood alone on the empty battlefield, her figure appearing somewhat lonely, but a slight smile played on her lips.

Naruto stood not far away, his gaze fixed on Kaguya, his eyes revealing a resolute and unyielding spirit. He took a deep breath and then quickly created a large number of Shadow Clone surged towards Kaguya like a tidal wave.

Naruto's true form was hidden Shadow Clone. He skillfully used his taijutsu techniques to engage Kaguya in a fierce close-quarters battle. Although Kaguya was powerful, Naruto was fearless, and every move he made was filled with power and determination.

Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha silently observed the battle from afar. He saw that Naruto was in grave danger and was extremely anxious. Just as Kaguya was about to launch a fatal attack on Naruto, Obito Uchiha unhesitatingly activated his Kamui power, instantly teleporting Sasuke to Naruto's side.

Sasuke's appearance delighted Naruto, and the two exchanged a smile, their unspoken understanding transcending words. However, at that moment, Kaguya suddenly launched a powerful attack, Obito Uchiha, to protect Naruto, bravely stepped forward and took the blow.

Obito Uchiha's body was sent flying by Kaguya's attack, crashing heavily to the ground. His body was covered in wounds, blood gushing from them. But his gaze remained steadfastly fixed on Naruto, as if telling him, "You must defeat Kaguya!"

Naruto looked at the injured Obito Uchiha, his heart filled with grief and anger. He and Sasuke exchanged a glance, then launched a final attack on Kaguya together. Their attacks were like Gale, overwhelming Kaguya.

Under Naruto and Sasuke's fierce attacks, Kaguya gradually revealed an opening. Just then, Kakashi joined the battle. His body shone with the light of Obito Uchiha's Sharingan, as Obito Uchiha had temporarily entrusted his Sharingan to Kakashi.

With the four working together, they finally succeeded in sealing Kaguya in another dimension. With Kaguya sealed away, this thrilling battle finally came to an end.

However, the story did not end there. The Sage of Six Paths, together with the 17 deceased Five Kage, used Summoning Technique to transfer Team 7, the nine Tailed Beasts, and the dying Madara Uchiha from the Original Ball Space back to the ninja world.

The Sage of Six Paths released the Edo Tensei and the Pure Land Summoning, and the souls of the 17 Five Kage returned to the Pure Land. In that instant, Naruto suddenly remembered his father, Minato. He rushed to Minato's side, and seeing Minato's familiar and kind smile, Naruto couldn't help but burst into tears.

Minato smiled and said to Naruto, "Happy birthday, Naruto." This simple sentence contained boundless fatherly love and blessings. Naruto finally had the chance to say what he had always wanted to say to his father; he told Minato his growth, his dreams, and his longing for him...

Minato listened quietly to Naruto's story, tears welling in his eyes. Finally, Minato gently patted Naruto's shoulder and said, "I'm proud of you, Naruto."

With the departure of the Sage of Six Paths, this epic battle came to an end. But Naruto's story has only just begun... and he hopes that Minato can convey these words to his mother. Minato says, "I will definitely convey them to her," and then Minato's soul returns to the Pure Land.

The Sage of Six Paths hoped that Naruto and Sasuke could work together to break the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but Sasuke suddenly declared that he would start a "revolution" and threatened to execute the current Five Kage. He then used genjutsu and Planetary Devastation to seal the nine Tailed Beasts. Naruto decided to stop Sasuke, and the two went to the Valley of the End to begin their fateful battle.
