Ninja War Flames, Soul-Stirring and Epic!

Whoosh! The golden Nine-Tails opened its jaws, gathering a pitch-black Tailed Beast Bomb and firing it at Nagato in midair!

Rumble!!!

The Tailed Beast Bomb exploded into a fireball that blotted out the sky above the Third Division, leaving the ninja below dumbfounded!

"So strong! That one attack alone is probably stronger than all of us put together!"

"How did he suddenly become so much stronger!!"

"Did that... take him out?"

After their shock, hope rose in everyone's hearts once more!

But when the flames dispersed, Nagato remained unharmed beneath the Truth-Seeking Orb's protective barrier!

The crowd looked frustrated. "Damn it!! What exactly is that cursed black stuff!! Is there no power capable of breaking it!!"

Fukasaku said, "Little Naruto! Don't forget, only Sage Art attacks can affect it!"

"Sorry, I got too excited using this move for the first time! I'll infuse Sage Art into the next one!"

Eager to try, Naruto began gathering a second Tailed Beast Bomb.

Whoosh! The Truth-Seeking Orb barrier shifted, opening at one corner to reveal Nagato's Rinnegan. "Jinchūriki... I'm certain he wasn't a Jinchūriki before. After leaving the battlefield with Flying Raijin, did he seal the other half of the Nine-Tails inside himself? Uchiha Riu's arrangements are truly thorough..."

Whoosh!

A Tailed Beast Bomb even larger than the previous one finished forming.

Naruto said, "Here it comes!! Sage Art: Tailed Beast Bomb, complete!! This time, it'll definitely work!!"

"Dream on..."

Crack! The barrier opened, and Nagato fired a Black Receiver from his palm, striking the Nine-Tails directly between the brows!

The freshly formed Tailed Beast Bomb immediately collapsed!

Naruto stared in shock. "Kurama's Chakra... was forced back!?"

Fukasaku said, "That's a Black Receiver, the physical manifestation of Six Paths Techniques! Madara used them too! But their suppressive power isn't on the same level
