Naruto took several ragged breaths and glanced behind him. The Allied Forces' ninja lay scattered everywhere, groaning in pain.
But he knew this was actually a relatively good outcome.
Without his senjutsu, bolstered by Sasuke and Sakura's power,
the Nine-Tails' chakra alone could never have blocked the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb. The casualties would have been ten or even a hundred times worse!
Watching from a distance, Obito remarked,

"What?!" Madara Uchiha was stunned. Aogetsu Hyuga had already created a Thunder God, yet he could still summon these two Thunder Dragons.
He was equally
