Beastly Difficulty

Obito Uchiha appeared before everyone with the Six-Tails he had captured.

"Summoning Technique: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"

A hideous monster, its entire body brimming with terrifying Chakra, rose before them with a roar as though it had crawled out of hell.

A vortex swirled in Obito Uchiha's eye, and several Tailed Beast Jinchūriki appeared before the group.

"Utakata!" Naruto Uzumaki shouted furiously, but there was nothing he could do.

Utakata was thrown straight into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's mouth.

"Now only the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki remains!"

The two fixed their eyes on Naruto, and the pressure of their gaze bore down on him.

"Teacher Yoru, run! I'll hold them off!"

"Kurama Mode!"

The Nine-Tails' Chakra transformed Naruto Uzumaki's clothes into a Hokage Robe. At that moment, he seemed like someone everyone could count on.

"Have you forgotten who we started this war to protect?"

Uchiha Yoru gave Naruto a sharp knock on the head.

"If anyone's leaving, it's you!"

"Madara, let's see what you've got!"

"The Nine-Tails Jinchūriki is yours. Leave the Uchiha youngster to me," Madara said.

Madara charged Uchiha Yoru, and they clashed in Taijutsu.

They traded blow after blow. Under the pressure of Uchiha Yoru's Mangekyō, Madara Uchiha proved slightly weaker in Taijutsu. A heavy punch struck his abdomen and sent him flying.

"Taijutsu at this level must be in a class of its own in the entire Shinobi World!"

Madara Uchiha sounded impressed.

After seeing the general level of the Shinobi World's fighters, Madara Uchiha had been bitterly disappointed. Ninja tools and varieties of Ninjutsu had multiplied, but when it came to fighting strength, they fell far short of his generation.

He had never expected the Ninja of this era to have declined so much.

"Not quite! There's someone stronger than me.
