Madara's Susanoo was blasted back, and Naruto mocked him with a confident smirk.
Madara's eyes narrowed. He was furious and clearly displeased.
On the other side, Obito dug his heel into the ground, dragging a deep scar across the battlefield until he came to a halt. He canceled out the force from Naruto's Rasengan Hammer and steadied himself, glaring at Naruto with resentment.
"Pfft!"
Obito spat out a mouthful of blood—and along with it, a tooth. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered. "Naruto… so you finally lost patience and decided to take action."
Naruto scoffed and replied coldly, "The time is ripe. It's about time I dealt with the two of you."
At that moment, Kakashi turned his head and noticed something in the distance. "The Allied Shinobi Forces are arriving."
Boom boom boom…
The sound of synchronized footsteps echoed from the horizon, growing louder and closer.
Darui's voice came from above, "First Division has arrived!"
Kitsuchi landed with his daughter Kurotsuchi beside him. "Second Division has arrived!"
Shikamaru and his comrades followed as the Third Division descended. The vice-captain stepped forward and saluted Kakashi.
Kakashi nodded. "Third Division, accounted for."
Temari, Ino, and others from the Fourth Division appeared next.
Shikamaru stepped forward and said, "Fourth Division, present!"
Mifune arrived with his group of samurai, declaring proudly, "The Fifth Division has also arrived!"
Shizune followed behind, reporting, "The Medical Corps is on the field!"
Ao added from behind, "Sensory Team confirms the arrival of all units!"
The entire Allied Shinobi Forces had arrived.
From among the crowd, Tsunade, Gaara, and Ōnoki stepped forward.
Tsunade had already heard about Naruto's resurrection of Hashirama through Edo Tensei. She rushed forward and called out emotionally, "Grandpa!"
Hashirama turned around with a cheerful smile. "Ah, Tsuna! It's been a long time!"
Tobirama also noticed her and smiled warmly. "Tsunade. It's been years, and you're still a beautiful woman!"
Tsunade chuckled, "Uncle Tobirama!"
She hadn't felt this way in a long time—like a child again. With her grandfather and granduncle in front of her, Tsunade felt a deep sense of comfort and protection, just like in her youth. No matter what happened, it always felt like everything would be okay when they were around.
She looked at Hashirama with teary eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry, Grandpa… I couldn't manage the village the way you and Uncle Tobirama did."
Hashirama gave a gentle, reassuring smile. "It's alright, Tsuna. If anything, it's my fault for leaving behind such a complicated legacy. It's a heavy burden to carry."
Tobirama sighed. "Big Brother… we all did our best with what we had."
Gaara and Ōnoki approached the two Hokage.
The four of them had already fought side by side earlier in the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Kurotsuchi, Ōnoki's granddaughter, came forward playfully. "Old man, did your back give out again?"
Ōnoki scowled but tried to maintain dignity. "Don't speak so disrespectfully! Show some manners in front of the First Hokage!"
Hashirama chuckled as he looked at her. "And this is?"
Ōnoki puffed up with pride. "My granddaughter."
Tobirama narrowed his eyes, sensing her chakra. "She's got potential. A promising seedling."
Hearing the Second Hokage praise his granddaughter made Ōnoki beam. "Not as promising as your granddaughter, Lord Hashirama. Lady Tsunade has grown into a fine kunoichi!"
Tsunade smiled softly but said nothing.
"Tsunade!!!"
A booming voice shouted from the rear. Jiraiya came barreling forward, dragging Orochimaru behind him.
Jiraiya stood before her, grinning ear to ear. "I've missed you so much, Tsunade!"
Tsunade's face turned red with embarrassment. Without warning, she decked Jiraiya across the face, knocking him flat to the ground.
"What the hell are you shouting about, you idiot?!"
Orochimaru stood beside them, quietly covering his face with his hand.
Meanwhile, back at Allied Headquarters, a loud bang echoed through the tent as the Fourth Raikage slammed his fist into the table.
He glared at the Naruto shadow clone standing in front of him. "Naruto! Send me to the front lines immediately! I'm losing patience sitting here while Madara is out there!"
The clone nodded. Raikage's urgency was understandable, and Naruto had already planned for this.
He activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Buzz!
The Fourth Raikage was instantly teleported to the battlefield.
Boom!
Raikage landed in the middle of the troops with explosive force.
"Kumo shinobi! Your Raikage has arrived!"
The shinobi from Kumogakure erupted in cheers.
Hashirama raised an eyebrow. "Who's that?"
Tobirama looked at the cheering crowd. "Judging from the reaction, he must be the current Raikage."
Tsunade confirmed with a nod.
Raikage descended from his elevated position and approached Hashirama respectfully.
"First Hokage, Lord Hashirama. I am the current Raikage, A."
Despite his aggressive nature, Raikage A still held great respect for Hashirama Senju—the man known as the God of Shinobi.
Elsewhere, Shikaku instructed the Flying Thunder God Squad to teleport the Mizukage to the battlefield as well.
Buzz!
Terumī Mei, the Fifth Mizukage, arrived.
"So everyone's here now," she said, smiling.
Hashirama's eyes scanned the field. "With this, the Five Kage are all present. Tsunade, let's organize the final battle."
Tsunade nodded firmly. The Five Kage stepped forward together to the front of the Allied Forces.
Madara and Obito reappeared near the Gedo Statue, now preparing to fuse with it.
Madara glanced at Obito. "It's time. Let's summon the Ten Tails."
Obito nodded. "I know. We're ready."
Naruto stood in front of the Five Kage, ready to lead.
Ōnoki smiled. "To think I've lived long enough to witness this—five Kage fighting side by side. Truly something special."
Terumī Mei grinned. "Once this war is over, I plan to step down and get married."
Tsunade chuckled. "I'll join you for a drink when the time comes."
Gaara crossed his arms. "Count me in. Naruto, too."
Raikage cracked his knuckles. "That's Madara, huh? I was suffocating at HQ. Let me be the first to charge in!"
Ōnoki snorted. "Don't be reckless. Even Lord Hashirama struggles with him."
Behind the Five Kage, the shinobi army stood tall and unified.
Obito formed a hand seal.
Buzz!
The Four Red Yang Formation barrier dissipated. The Gedo Statue roared, and its chakra began to shift and reshape. Within seconds, it transformed.
The Ten Tails appeared.
Its body resembled a giant sprouting root. Its triangular, pointed head was monstrous, with jagged fangs like a beast and a grotesque mouth. Above it was a single, massive Rinnegan eye, encircled by six tomoe.
Demonic arms slammed into the ground, and a tail swayed menacingly behind it.
The Ten Tails let out a ghostly howl that echoed across the battlefield.
This was only its incomplete form—but it was already terrifying.
"Ahhhh…"
Gasps of horror erupted from the Allied Shinobi Forces. The creature was beyond anything they'd seen.
Raikage frowned. "This thing… it's worse than the Eight Tails back home. Shikaku! Do you have a plan?"
At HQ, Shikaku was analyzing the situation rapidly. "Give us a moment. We'll come up with a strategy."
Madara and Obito leapt onto the Ten Tails' back. Two tendrils emerged from the beast, piercing into the backs of their heads.
Madara grunted. "I had hoped to capture the Eight and Nine Tails before this stage, but they've proven more troublesome than I thought. Obito… I understand your earlier hesitation now."
Obito sneered, eyes locked on Naruto. "That brat Naruto… he's the biggest threat to our plan. We can't wait. I'm beginning the Infinite Tsukuyomi ritual immediately!"
Madara studied Naruto for a long moment.
"He's certainly impressive. But it's too soon to summon the moon. There are too many enemies in front of us. Especially with Hashirama and Naruto here. We must eliminate them with the Ten Tails first."
Obito nodded slowly.
"As you wish."
