On the other side, Black Zetsu was finally forced to retreat.
Facing a group of powerhouses—including Senju Tobirama and the Tailed Beasts—Black Zetsu had no choice but to flee.
Even with Kamui's power, it wasn't absolute.
And despite possessing a Rinnegan, Obito's body simply wasn't capable of unleashing its full potential.
Frustrated, Black Zetsu had no choice but to retreat, and neither Tobirama nor the others could stop him.
"Heavenly Obstacle—Meteorite!"
From within the dense dust and debris, Uchiha Madara's voice rang out.
Hearing this, Takuya's eyelid twitched slightly.
Oh great, he's done playing around and wants to use the big guns now?
"Hahahaha…"
As the dust gradually settled, Madara's body had nearly fully regenerated.
But instead of standing, he remained sprawled out in the massive crater, laughing hysterically while gazing up at the sky, as if watching something amusing.
Instinctively, Senju Hashirama followed his line of sight and looked up.
The once starry sky had turned pitch black.
Something had completely blotted out the starlight.
A harsh, burning sound cut through the air, accompanied by the roaring of the wind.
At that moment, Minato appeared in a flash, bringing Tsunade and Nawaki with him.
Takuya had warned him—if anything feels off, rush to me immediately.
The "Little Sun" had taken those words to heart.
Sensing something amiss, he had immediately brought Tsunade and Nawaki over.
"Takuya! Something's falling from the sky!"
Had it been daytime, the sight would have terrified everyone.
But the dark night provided the perfect cover, concealing the celestial catastrophe hurtling toward them.
From their vantage point, all they could see was something massive descending.
Should I intervene?
Nah, let's see what Hashirama decides to do first.
If he didn't experience this firsthand, he would never believe that Madara was truly unstoppable.
"Tell your grandfather to use Sage Art: Wood Release—True Several Thousand Hands again," Takuya said flatly.
"Madara just summoned two massive meteorites with the Rinnegan. They're going to crash directly onto the Hidden Cloud Village."
"WHAT?!"
Tsunade nearly jumped out of her skin, her face turning pale.
"Hahaha, I knew it!"
Madara burst into laughter.
"Takuya, I knew you and I were alike! Join me! Let's change this false, hypocritical world together!"
Before, he had only suspected it.
Now, he was certain.
Takuya had the same kind of eyes as him—an extraordinary, transcendent power.
Two colossal meteorites were plummeting straight toward them.
At this realization, everyone's hair stood on end.
Would they even survive this?
The outlines of the meteorites became visible, proving Takuya's words to be true.
These were no ordinary falling stars—this was Madara's doing.
"Madara! What the hell have you done?!"
Hashirama's expression turned grave.
The impact from two meteorites of this size would reduce the entire Hidden Cloud Village to dust.
Everyone caught in the blast zone would be wiped out.
Tobirama and Minato might be able to teleport a few people to safety.
But what about the rest?
Those who couldn't escape in time—would simply die.
This wasn't an outcome Hashirama could accept.
"Madara, stop this! NOW!!"
"Hahahaha! It's too late!!!!"
Madara stood up, grinning wildly.
"Hashirama, if you want to stand in my way—then stop these meteorites first."
This lunatic!!!
Hashirama cursed under his breath.
With a furious clap of his hands, he roared,
"SAGE ART: WOOD RELEASE—TRUE SEVERAL THOUSAND HANDS!!"
Once again, a colossal Buddha statue erupted from the earth.
But could this thing really hold back two meteorites?
Takuya had his doubts.
"You can handle this, right?!"
Tsunade turned to Takuya, desperation in her voice.
There was no point in relying on her grandfather right now.
Her only hope was Takuya.
If Madara could summon the meteorites, and if Takuya had seen them coming—then surely he had a way to stop them.
These two falling masses weren't just a threat to her.
They were a death sentence for all the elite shinobi sent from Konoha.
If they crashed, it would be over.
"Takuya, can you stop them?"
Tobirama didn't immediately start evacuating people.
Instead, he turned to Takuya.
"Stop them?! Why don't you try stopping them?" Takuya shot back.
Oh, so now you need me?
You're always giving me a hard time, but when things go south, you come running to me for help?
Yeah, no. Not happening.
Tsunade knew the moment Tobirama showed up that things were about to go sideways.
And sure enough—he and Takuya were already bickering.
BOOM!!!
The meteorites continued their rapid descent, igniting as they cut through the atmosphere.
They looked like twin comets crashing toward the earth.
"Everyone, get to me—NOW!!"
Ignoring Tobirama, Tsunade immediately shouted for the Allied Shinobi Forces to move toward Takuya.
If he wasn't leaving or teleporting away, then that meant…
If Hashirama couldn't stop them, Takuya would.
"HURRY UP!!!"
The shinobi, who had been frozen in fear, snapped out of their daze and rushed toward Takuya, desperately trying to reach him.
The meteorites were now clearly visible, their fiery glow illuminating the battlefield.
Really?
You're all just going to run to me?
You think getting closer to me will magically fix this?
Do you guys actually believe I'm a god?
Hashirama was literally over there, summoning his massive Buddha to punch the damn things.
Shaking his head, Takuya stopped arguing with Tobirama and turned his gaze to the sky.
"HAAAAAH!!!"
With a thunderous roar, Hashirama unleashed a barrage of fists from the colossal Buddha.
The fists collided with the falling meteorites, detonating in a massive explosion.
The force of the impact sent a shockwave across the battlefield, knocking many shinobi off their feet.
Burning debris and splintered wood scattered in all directions like a deadly rain.
Hashirama was incredibly strong.
His Wood Release was formidable.
But these weren't just any ordinary boulders.
They were two colossal meteors—capable of wiping out an entire village.
"Haaah… Haaah…"
Panting heavily, Hashirama had exhausted himself.
The first meteorite had fractured, its descent slowed.
But the second one had already closed in.
All of Hashirama's effort had been in vain.
A second impact would nullify everything.
So even gods aren't invincible.
Takuya sighed.
Raising both hands, he locked his gaze on the incoming meteorite.
A violet glow flashed in his eyes.
The concentric ripples of the Rinnegan spread outward.
"Shinra Tensei!!!"
This was Pain's favorite move in the original timeline.
And now—it was about to stop a meteorite.
