Sasuke was stunned as he watched countless shinobi being teleported away in an instant.
"Naruto... what did you just do?" he asked in disbelief.
Naruto gave a slight smile. "I didn't do much. It was actually pretty simple. I just synced with my dad's chakra signature, borrowed a huge amount of Nine-Tails' chakra from him, and re-infused the residual chakra left in the Allied Shinobi Forces right before the teleportation. I linked their chakra signatures with mine—and then used Flying Thunder God in conjunction with that to move them out all at once!"
Minato Namikaze looked at his son, pride blooming in his expression. He hadn't expected Naruto to utilize the Flying Thunder God Technique with such skill. The sheer number of shinobi he moved in such a short time, and yet still maintained his stamina—he truly was his son.
"Well done, Naruto!" Jiraiya said, his voice filled with genuine pride and amazement.
Tobirama Senju chuckled. "It's based on the principle behind Shadow Clone Jutsu. When the chakra of the original body is transferred, the chakra of the clones moves as well."
Naruto grinned. "Uncle Second Hokage, you're spot on! In the end, the real credit goes to your incredible inventions. After all, the Teleportation Jutsu and the Shadow Clone Jutsu were both created by you!"
Tobirama's chest puffed out proudly. "Naturally! Any jutsu I created is now considered a forbidden technique!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, laughed and chimed in, "Haha, Naruto only learned the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu after he stole the Scroll of Seals!"
Tobirama raised an eyebrow and looked over at Hiruzen. "When exactly did this brat steal it? Wasn't someone supposed to teach him that technique?"
The Third Hokage shook his head. "No, Naruto hadn't even graduated from the Academy yet. Because of certain... circumstances, he ended up stealing the Scroll of Seals. The very first jutsu in the scroll was your Multi Shadow Clone Technique. He basically taught himself!"
"Oh?" Tobirama blinked in surprise, then turned toward Naruto, a look of admiration creeping across his face. "Naruto... I never expected you to be a self-taught genius."
Naruto stood proudly, hands on his hips. "Hahaha! Of course! Back at the Academy, I was a top student!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes at him and muttered, "Tch."
Jiraiya frowned slightly, scratching his head. "That's not how I remember it..."
Just then, Obito deactivated the barrier around him, his single eye locked on Naruto. "You continue to surprise me, Naruto."
Naruto snorted. "That's nothing. What's really going to shock you is what comes next!"
Without warning, Naruto roared, "Dad, send me more chakra!"
Minato responded instantly. Deep in the spiritual realm where his Yin half resided, the Yin-Kurama stirred and shouted, "Chakra has been condensed again. Ready to transfer!"
Minato's chakra cloak extended a golden arm, touching Naruto. A steady stream of Yin Nine-Tails chakra surged into him.
Inside Naruto's mind, Kurama received the energy and began blending it. "Alright. Chakra's fully mixed. You've got enough to keep going!"
Naruto's eyes sharpened. "Let's do this!"
With a resonating boom, Naruto activated his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode again. The enormous fox avatar burst into the air with a roar, now infused with both Yang and Yin chakra. The chakra cloak still glowed gold—but now, with darker, more complex hues swirling within. It was the perfect balance of both halves of Kurama.
Naruto turned to Sasuke, his voice ringing through the battlefield. "Sasuke, what are you staring at? The moment we've been waiting for is here. Let's go!"
Sasuke stood frozen for a moment, but when Naruto's eyes locked with his—a strange image flashed through his mind. A memory that didn't belong to him. He saw himself and Naruto fighting side by side... sealing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki... battling Momoshiki and Kinshiki... even a vision of Naruto becoming Hokage while he, Sasuke, stood beside him as his right hand. And... a disturbing image followed. He was married to Sakura. They had a daughter.
"F**k!" Sasuke roared, slapping his palm over his eye. "What the hell did you just show me?! What kind of twisted Genjutsu was that?!"
Naruto, now in his Tailed Beast form, reached out with a massive chakra arm and grabbed Sasuke. "That's not Genjutsu. That's a glimpse of what was—and what could be. Stop dreaming, Sasuke. Wake the hell up!"
As Naruto's voice thundered through him, something inside Sasuke snapped. It felt like his chakra channels were being violently unblocked. Suddenly, all those strange memories started fusing into his consciousness. Past, present, and future collided.
"So that's it... Hahaha!" Sasuke laughed with sudden clarity. "I didn't expect you to be playing the long game this whole time, Naruto. You even dragged me into your checkmate... You bastard!"
He looked at Naruto with new understanding—and something else. Respect.
Naruto turned toward Obito. "I know you're having trouble accepting all this. But you've seen the vision too. Now's not the time to hesitate. Like before, we need to pull together and drag him out!"
Sasuke scoffed. "Tch. Let's end this."
He summoned his full-body Susanoo, and shouted, "Jūgo, get up here!"
Jūgo leapt onto the shoulder of Susanoo. The Cursed Seal spread across the entire construct, enhancing its power with Senjutsu chakra.
With everything ready, Naruto blasted into the sky, his Tailed Beast avatar roaring as it surged toward Obito.
Not to be outdone, Sasuke followed immediately, his Susanoo trailing a vortex of violet energy.
Just like in their past lives, Naruto and Sasuke launched a combined aerial assault against Obito, who had now fully manifested the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki form.
Elsewhere on the battlefield, Tobirama Senju glanced toward the horizon. The clash between Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju had reignited. Both had reformed their bodies after being blasted apart earlier, and were once again locked in brutal combat.
The Third Hokage observed Naruto and Sasuke's battle, then turned to Tobirama. "Second, we're not of much help here. What say we go assist the First Hokage? Sealing Madara would be a huge contribution."
Tobirama nodded. "You're right, Monkey. Madara's always been a thorn in my side. It's time to put him down for good."
He turned to Minato and Jiraiya. "Fourth, and you, kid—stay here. You two are both skilled in Senjutsu. Support Naruto with everything you've got!"
Minato and Jiraiya nodded firmly.
Tobirama and Hiruzen dashed toward the frontlines where Hashirama battled Madara.
Madara and Hashirama were no longer using their giant constructs. The battle had devolved into raw, hand-to-hand combat.
"Madara, there's still a chance to turn back," Hashirama pleaded.
"Hashirama... you're blind to the future. Join me, and I'll show you what lies ahead!" Madara roared back.
Their fists collided again.
Tobirama arrived, tossing a Flying Thunder God kunai. Madara casually dodged it—but Tobirama vanished and reappeared mid-slash.
"Flying Thunder God Slash!"
The blade came down fast, but Madara, remembering this technique from the time it nearly killed his brother Izuna, immediately summoned a partial Susanoo arm. The kunai shattered on impact.
Tobirama scowled. "Monkey!"
Hiruzen leapt behind Madara, summoning Enma, the Monkey King, in staff form. "Extend!"
The staff elongated instantly, rocketing toward Madara.
Madara, unfazed, activated his ribcage-level Susanoo again, effortlessly blocking the strike.
With a disdainful smirk, Madara looked over his shoulder. "You want to dance too, old man?"
