"Sage Art: Yin Release Lightning Dispatch!"
High in the air, Madara, missing one hand, released blue-purple lightning towards the ground below.
If anyone else on the ground were conscious enough to see it, they might even mistake it for a deity punishing sinners with thunder.
Observation Haki sensed the crisis above, and Naruto prepared to quickly create distance by stepping on air.
But his movements involuntarily stiffened.
It was the Infinite Tsukuyomi's light interfering with his will.
In a daze, Naruto seemed to return to that former Konoha Village.
Only this time, his father hadn't died, he was no longer the isolated Demon Fox, but the son of a hero, the son of the Fourth Hokage.
He even saw the woman in the illusion, the one with the same hair color as Karin, standing beside his father.
His mother.
'Such a... beautiful dream.'
'But it was just an illusion!'
Naruto's eyes snapped open instantly. An intense self-will broke through the limitations of his body, spreading wildly outwards.
'The deceased are gone!'
'Do you think I can't even see that clearly!!'
"Haa!"
It was a momentum like a colossal wave, an apocalyptic storm.
It was 'humanity' sufficient to oppose gods.
It was the resilient will that fully awakened only after witnessing enough death.
"Who do you think I am!? You think such a false illusion can deceive me?"
The loneliness experienced since childhood, the helplessness of facing starvation in another world, the boldness of conquering natural disasters with comrades, the frustration of personally experiencing an important person actively seeking death, leading to later clarity.
Naruto's will was absolutely not as easily swayed by certain emotions as Obito's.
He knew clearly that immersing oneself in the pain of being unable to accept the death of an important person would mean never growing up and never being able to cherish everything in the present.
Doing so would only let down more people.
Facing death, whether others' or his own, Naruto had long been mentally prepared.
Madara had intended to use the perfect world created by the Infinite Tsukuyomi to make Naruto stop completely, but he never expected that false 'happiness' would completely ignite the deepest resolve in Naruto's heart.
Appearing alongside it was the Conqueror's Haki that had broken through another bottleneck.
"This is... what?"
In Madara's vision, the originally intangible Conqueror's Haki actually manifested as if it were physical.
The lightning struck the continuously expanding deep red aura and was directly blocked.
Naruto's Conqueror's Haki could now fully materialize, blocking attacks or causing damage like a real body.
Centered on him, the deep red sphere rapidly expanded, soon enveloping the entire battlefield.
Even the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, when shining on the Conqueror's Haki aura, was 'filtered' into deep red electric light.
Within the aura, Naruto's long hair now floated as if defying gravity, and black-red lightning coiled around him.
Madara and Obito, enveloped within, personally felt that intense will impact.
Madara looked at his slightly trembling hand, somewhat incredulous.
"What is this?"
Then came anger and disbelief.
"Could it be that I, Uchiha Madara, who possesses the power of the Six Paths, would fear a mere mortal!!"
Madara also roared, his severed arm rapidly regenerating.
Compared to Madara, Obito below appeared very disheveled.
After being completely enveloped by that world-class Conqueror's Haki, his consciousness was actually 'disconnected' from that beautiful world.
The ensuing intense mental impact almost suffocated him.
But that wasn't the reason for the change in Obito's expression.
At this moment, he was like a beggar who had lost everything, writhing on the ground.
"No! You can't! Don't make me leave that world!"
It seemed that more than death, he feared being separated from the beautiful fantasy of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Naruto paid no attention to the clown-like figure below now. His gaze was firmly fixed on the battle-ready Madara above.
"Come on."
He gestured with his hand, then Naruto's figure rapidly flew upwards.
And Madara, perhaps out of a desire to prove he was the strongest, actually didn't dodge or evade, charging down headfirst as well.
"Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang!"
Another laser sweep. That seemingly ordinary laser possessed the terrifying power to cut through Truth-Seeking Balls.
But this time, Naruto didn't act according to Madara's plan, dodging in the direction Madara had anticipated.
Naruto didn't dodge or evade, blocking with his arm on his side. The laser instantly contacted his arm.
Sizzle-
After a stalemate of only three or four seconds, Naruto's arm was severed.
But those three or four seconds were enough for Naruto to completely close the distance with Madara.
Crack!
That was the sound of Naruto's left hand gripping Madara's throat, the force so great it directly crushed the bones within.
"Guh..."
Blood foam appeared in Madara's mouth, and he couldn't utter any words.
"Blue… Hole!!"
This was a secret technique from the Marine Hero Garp.
Naruto grabbed Madara's body and threw him towards the ground like a cannonball.
Simultaneously, he quickly charged downwards. As he passed his severed arm, he simply reached out, grabbed it, and nonchalantly shoved it back onto the stump.
Body Revival Technique and Nine Tails Sage Mode worked together. After a burst of steam-like smoke from the stump, the arm was reattached.
Boom!!
The earth was directly torn apart by the falling Madara, even magma from unknown depths below erupted at this moment.
And Naruto's attack wasn't over.
He controlled his posture, then continuously stepped on air to accelerate, aiming his elbow at Madara's impact point below.
"Tectonic Slayer!"
The second impact was even more powerful than the first. Even the mountain rocks outside the Haki's range were affected.
It was a destructive power surpassing natural disasters.
The limit of human brute force.
One wonders if the Nature Will, were it capable of thought, would complain about Naruto's heavy-handedness.
Standing up from the magma, Naruto silently realigned his broken hand bones, letting Chakra heal them.
Before him, over ninety percent of Madara's body was almost uniformly sprayed in a radial pattern onto the surrounding high-temperature rock walls.
Madara Uchiha could no longer speak now. Only one Rinnegan and the crimson Six Tomoe Rinnegan on his forehead stared at Naruto.
The surrounding flesh was still consciously converging towards the center, but much of it was completely cooked when passing through the high-temperature magma.
But in the next moment, Madara's figure rapidly dissipated like a bubble, then a new Madara reappeared in mid-air.
However, his other Rinnegan was now closed.
In his hand was Obito, whom he had grabbed at some point.
Madara plucked out Obito's remaining Sharingan without hesitation and stuffed it into his own closed eye socket.
Naruto was momentarily stunned, then realized.
"Izanagi?"
At the critical moment, Madara had actually used Izanagi with his Rinnegan like a regular Sharingan, sacrificing its Ocular Power.
"But, how many more chances do you have?"
Madara, having reopened one Sharingan eye, was adapting to the Kamui power belonging to Obito. Although it couldn't compare to the Rinnegan, it was barely usable.
"Enough to kill you."
Madara had now put away his smile. Although he showed little external damage, the Chakra and Ocular Power within him had been greatly depleted. Coupled with having previously cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, his situation was not optimistic.
And Naruto on the other side?
Judging by the still fiercely burning aura around him, he didn't seem depleted at all.
Obito, having lost his last eye, was casually thrown onto a scorching rock platform nearby, making him howl in pain, but no one present cared about him now.
Naruto and Madara in mid-air locked eyes, a battle imminent.
But at this moment, Naruto's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.
Madara also saw this.
He hadn't yet realized why Naruto would show such an expression.
But in the next moment, he understood.
A hand had already pierced through his chest.
It was Black Zetsu, or rather, Black Zetsu possessing Obito's body.
"Black Zetsu!? You!"
"Madara, you too are in an illusory dream, just like him… only, it's a dream I wove for you."
Black Zetsu knew deeply Naruto's troublesomeness and didn't bother with lengthy explanations. He decisively controlled Madara's body and began absorbing all surrounding Chakra.
On the already shattered ground, countless streams of Chakra rushed into Madara's body like a torrent.
Seeing this, Naruto was about to act, but was interrupted by footsteps approaching from not far away.
"Naruto!"
"Dad!"
"Naruto-san!"
Several figures quickly approached, pausing briefly as they passed through the Haki aura Naruto had created, then completely charging in.
It was Sasuke, Karin, Kousei, and Jiraiya, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Sasuke, Karin... Kousei??! Why are you here?"
Looking at his greatly changed daughter, Naruto's mind instantly became a tangled mess. His super muscles hadn't granted him sufficiently powerful super intelligence, so he is clearly unable to process the scene before him.
