The Shinobi War Raged Like Wildfire!

Whoosh!

In one corner of the battlefield, a Kamui Vortex appeared.

Riu returned from Mount Myoboku with Naruto.

Naruto was clad in a golden Chakra cloak, flames rising along its edges. The two great sages stood on his shoulders, and his cross-shaped eyes—where Sage Mode and Tailed Beast Chakra coexisted—gleamed brightly!

Why could the two great sages stand on his shoulders? Because what Naruto possessed within him was the pure Nine-Tails Chakra refined by Mito, rather than the Nine-Tails itself. Thus, there was no issue of the Nine-Tails' subjective will resisting and preventing compatibility as in the original story. The two great sages could remain on Naruto's shoulders and continuously gather natural energy for him!

Naruto scanned his surroundings. "Hm? There are a great many Chakra signatures nearby, and quite a few of them are mixed with malicious intent that's ready to stir..."

Riu said, "Those malicious signatures are the White Zetsu I told you about earlier. They've disguised themselves as our ninja and infiltrated our ranks to carry out assassinations..."

Naruto asked, "Then what should we do with them? Wipe them all out?"

The enhancement talismans on these White Zetsu had already been used up... After thinking it over, Riu said, "No need to kill them. Just subdue them."

"Leave it to me!"

Naruto formed hand seals.

—Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!!

Poof, poof, poof, poof, poof, poof!

Golden Shadow Clones appeared, brimming with energy...

"I'll take the north!"

"I'll take the south!"

"I'll take the northwest..."

"Got it!"

"Yeah!!"

"Leave it to me!!!"

Watching Naruto create such a massive number of Shadow Clones, Fukasaku could not help worrying. "Little Naruto... You only just mastered Sage Mode, and now you've also integrated the Nine-Tails' Chakra. If you use too many Shadow Clones, your stamina will drain too quickly!"

"It's fine!
