In an instant, a massive wave of Wood Style impact, several times more exaggerated than that on the battlefield between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, surged before the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Many ninja, completely unable to resist, were grabbed by the God Tree's roots, and the chakra within their bodies was instantly drained, rendering them unconscious.
And at the top of the God Tree, that flower bud, under the supplement of the Allied Shinobi Forces' chakra, faintly showed signs of blooming.
Senju Hashirama, who was fighting Uchiha Madara in a bold and explosive battle, became anxious upon seeing this scene.
He shouted loudly to Madara, "Madara, your companion is too dangerous, I must go stop him first."
But Madara revealed a slightly ferocious and excited smile, "Don't be distracted while fighting me."
His massive Susanoo grabbed the opening at that moment and slashed at Hashirama's wooden giant. The wooden figure collapsed with a "boom," creating a tremor comparable to an earthquake.
Senju Hashirama was inwardly distressed. Having emerged through Edo Tensei, Madara, now possessing the Rinnegan and his cells, was even stronger than when he was alive.
Although Madara didn't have the Nine Tails now, Hashirama also lacked his living Sage Body. As they clashed, in terms of absolute strength, Madara not only faintly matched him, he might even slightly surpass him.
Now, unable to deal with Madara, he could only watch helplessly as countless comrades turned into nourishment for the God Tree, their fates unknown.
With no other option, he could only recover his focus and go all out against Madara, controlling his wooden giant to stand again and charge toward Madara while shouting, "MADARA!"
On the other side, Madara also controlled his Susanoo and charged toward Hashirama, shouting likewise, "HASHIRAMA!"
Thus, the two once again clashed in a heaven-shaking battle.
———
On the other side, at Obito's location, as he began to form hand seals, Naruto, Tobirama, and Sasuke once again made their move.
Naruto entered the Sage Mode he had been brewing, and a Sage Art, Ultra Big Ball Rasenshuriken, was thrown at Six Paths Obito.
On Sasuke's side, he instantly activated Complete Body Susanoo, drew his bow, and launched an arrow, Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi infused Indra's Arrow, shot out rapidly.
The two forces merged, producing an indescribable transformation.
Namikaze Minato, looking at such an astonishing technique, couldn't help but sigh, "This move should be called Scorch Release: Light Wheel Gale Black Zero Style."
Though speaking like that, his movements weren't slow either. Along with Senju Tobirama, he circled behind Six Paths Obito and launched an attack from the side lacking Truth-Seeking Ball defenses.
Likewise, having prepared earlier, Minato, who was never adept at Sage Mode, entered the Sage Mode state at this moment. Moreover, he activated Yin Kurama Mode, entering the Sage Fox State.
At this moment, he truly was the Golden Flash of the Leaf.
A Rasengan imbued with Sage Chakra was launched with almost zero startup frames, pushing toward Obito.
Senju Tobirama too, now had an Explosive Tag in his hand, at some unknown point, and slapped it toward Obito's back.
The four attacks almost simultaneously landed on Obito.
From the front, Scorch Release: Light Wheel Gale Black Zero Style slammed into the semicircular Truth-Seeking Ball of Obito. With Sage power reinforcement, the Truth-Seeking Ball couldn't completely nullify the intense attack, and it was rapidly dissolved.
However, the Truth-Seeking Ball layer was ultimately too thick to be completely broken through. The energies of Kagutsuchi and the Sage Rasenshuriken were still exhausted, unable to touch Six Paths Obito's body in the slightest.
But from behind, Minato's Rasengan hit solidly. The Rasengan infused with Sage power could truly deal damage to Obito.
That familiar backward-pushing feeling resurfaced, Obito was struck in the back and violently slammed to the ground.
At the same time, Tobirama's Explosive Tag stuck onto Obito. At the moment Obito was blasted away by Minato's Rasengan, he had already finished forming seals and chanted, "Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags Technique!"
BOOM!
Obito's figure first crashed into the ground. The powerful momentum and impact caused his body to slide far across the surface, kicking up countless clouds of dust.
As the dust began to dissipate, a series of seemingly endless explosions erupted, thunderous and unceasing.
To the side, Rin, watching the battle along with Young Obito, couldn't help but express concern, "The other Obito… he's okay, right?"
Young Obito smiled, "Don't worry, a Six Paths existence is worlds apart from a mortal, especially in vitality and defense. This little bit of damage can heal instantly even if it lands."
Rin nodded, relieved, and also couldn't help but admire Six Paths Obito's strength.
At this time, Young Obito muttered sarcastically, "Still… he got blown up by Explosive Tags again. This thing, clearly just a basic consumable ninja tool, still shines brightly in battles of this level."
Rin smiled, "Maybe this is what you meant by the power of wisdom."
Young Obito's eyes flickered, lost in thought about something…
At the battlefield of Old Obito, the explosions finally began to subside. Smoke filled the air, and Naruto and Sasuke panted heavily, that previous attack had consumed a great deal of their chakra.
At this moment, Naruto's expression was somewhat excited. Although his and Sasuke's attacks hadn't broken through the defense, they served as a feint, buying Minato and the Second Hokage precious opportunities to strike.
At the same time, he also realized, while the Truth-Seeking Balls could nullify ordinary ninjutsu, they couldn't nullify Sage Arts.
His Rasengan could melt the Truth-Seeking Balls, so the Rasengan that hit Obito, from his dad, must also be infused with Sage power.
Therefore, this strike must have caused massive damage to Obito.
So, he asked, "Obito, is he dead?"
Sasuke's eyes flickered. Having been cut in half by Young Obito before, and given his deep impression of Old Obito's inscrutable power, he still held apprehension toward both Obitos.
He only said calmly, "Hopefully."
Naruto, however, was quite confident. After waking from his coma, his nerves had been tightly wound, now he finally relaxed.
At this moment, he finally returned to his usual self. Excitedly, he said to Sasuke, "Sasuke, it's really great that you've turned around and are standing with us!"
"By the way, why is it that after I woke up, Sakura's been staying far away, not even coming over to say a word to us?"
"Aren't we all members of Team 7?"
"And also…", Naruto noticed the bruise on Sasuke's face and asked, "Sasuke, did someone beat you up?"
Sasuke's face darkened, "Can you shut up already?"
But Naruto refused to let up and began fantasizing about the future, "Hahaha, Sasuke, let me tell you a secret, Sakura confessed to me earlier. Though I turned her down, after the war, I'm going to pursue her again. At that time…"
Sasuke's face got even darker, "Shut up, idiot!"
Then he said coldly, "And don't get it twisted, I'm only cooperating with Konoha temporarily. Afterward, if Konoha can't fulfill its promise to me, we're still enemies!"
Naruto was stunned. He realized that Sasuke wasn't joking, and became curious, "What promise?"
Sasuke said flatly, "To become Konoha's… Hokage!"
