Obito had successfully absorbed the Ten-Tails, but because he had not collected all the tailed beast chakra, the Ten-Tails was now controlling him completely.
Madara, who had been fighting Meihui and the others, saw that Obito had actually managed to absorb the Ten-Tails, albeit an incomplete one.
After pinning Hashirama and Tobirama to the ground with the Black Rod, Madara moved to deal with Naruto and Sasuke, along with Meihui and Itachi, of course.
Itachi was already considering using Izanami, but Meihui stopped him. Whether it would even work was one question; whether it was worth it was another.
A little longer, and Black Zetsu would probably be having a heart-to-heart with Madara-a literal one.
As for Obito, Meihui had no choice but to go help.
Obito was practically a wild beast now, having abandoned thought entirely. By the time Meihui arrived, Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi were already fighting him.
"Old man, this isn't working! This guy's pretty strong. Ordinary ninjutsu doesn't hurt him at all. Hold him off for a bit. I need to enter Sage Mode."
"Summoning Technique! Come on out, Big Sis, Boss!"
"Yo, little Jiraiya! You've summoned us again. Who's the enemy this time?"
Jiraiya pointed at Obito, who was kicking Hiruzen around like a ball. Both Toad Sages broke into a cold sweat.
"Ahem. Well, little Jiraiya, this guy looks pretty strong. We can't guarantee we can beat him either."
Jiraiya waved a hand. Their immediate priority was to hold Obito off in his current state.
As for defeating him, that was out of the question.
"Jiraiya, hurry up and save me!"
Although Obito only knew how to use brute force now, enough brute force could still work miracles.
Every attack sent Hiruzen flying. By now, quite a few shinobi from the Allied Shinobi Forces
