[Tenkai Shinkousei – Heavenly Obstacle Quaking Star]
A massive meteor appeared midair, instantly dimming the sky and casting darkness over thousands of meters below. The ninja watching from ground level lost all will to flee, whispering in astonishment, "What kind of power is this?"
"God's power?" Sasori stood awestruck by the sight. While Madara charging through the Allied Ninja Forces effortlessly had already impressed him, it was only now that Sasori truly sensed the vast difference in strength.
"No wonder Big Brother Kurotsuchi admires you so much—you really do have strength," Sasori murmured, eyes gleaming with even greater interest. If Madara turned out to be a pushover, this whole thing would've been super boring.
As for how many Allied Shinobi Forces might die down below, Sasori gave a careless glance without concern.
"Everyone, don't give up! This jutsu's coverage is too vast to escape—work together using defensive ninjutsu, we still have a fighting chance!" one ninja shouted loudly.
"That's right! Don't back down—not until the bitter end!" another yelled as they both began directing the unit of Allied Shinobi Forces.
Sasori stared blankly at the two before suddenly realizing what was happening, his eyes widening furiously. Who let them come here? He'd clearly assigned them to logistics duty—how did they end up on the front lines?
The ones who'd just been issuing commands were actually his recently resurrected parents—Chiyo and Sandaime Sasori no Akagami.
In that case, he absolutely had to stop this deadly jutsu.
With solemn determination, Sasori activated Sage Mode. His entire body radiated brilliant emerald light as he fully stimulated his Ryumyaku chakra. Countless mechanized suit puppets hidden nearby surged forth simultaneously.
Just as Sasori was about to strike, Onoki arrived first, positioning himself directly beneath the falling meteor.
[Chō Keigengan no Jutsu – Ultra Lightweight Rock Technique!]
The contrast between his frail frame and the enormous meteor looked absurd—anyone would assume the rock could crush Onoki effortlessly. Yet in reality, the rapidly descending meteor slowed its fall dramatically, finally coming to a complete stop.
Sasori's eyes lit up with admiration. "This guy... truly deserves being Tsuchikage for so many years. His skills haven't weakened at all."
However, no sooner had he finished praising than another meteor appeared midair. When combined with the first, their combined power was far more than simply the sum of both.
Sasori immediately urged all his mechanized puppets to gather together, pouring out powerful waves of chakra unstintingly. With a loud shout, he commanded, "Gatai!"
Thousands of mechanized suits high above began transforming, merging into new shapes.
First came the legs and feet, followed by the torso and arms—and finally, the head took shape.
This time, the being blocking the twin meteors was completely different from Onoki—a hundred-meter-tall giant surpassed in size alone. Its body shimmered brilliantly yet remained dignified, gleaming coldly in black and blue tones under sunlight—a powerful contrast that stunned the eye. Other parts displayed heavy iron-gray hues, giving a rich sense of quality and depth.
The new mechanized puppet was incomparable to its previous version. It represented Sasori's ultimate achievement in puppetry, integrating all his wisdom and chakra accumulated over the years. From head to toe, it exuded an aggressive aura; its murderous intent was visibly fierce. Its twin arms resembled massive iron clamps, supporting the falling meteorite. Together with Onoki's ninjutsu, they forcefully intercepted the falling debris once again.
Though Madara Uchiha's facial expression remained unchanged, his tone betrayed admiration: "It seems there are exceptional ninja among the Allied Forces as well, capable of achieving this much. Well then, how about the next one?"
Mu, controlled by Kabuto, spoke from the side: "At this rate, we'll be caught in the crossfire too."
"Impure World Reincarnation (a forbidden resurrection technique) was made for moments like this—a jutsu to destroy our enemies along with ourselves," Madara said, forming hand seals while his chakra surged anew.
In midair, directly above the two already blocked meteorites, a third now appeared.
Both Onoki and Sasori revealed a hint of despair in their eyes.
Sasori quickly activated Sage Mode (an ancient transformation technique powered by natural chakra) and rushed swiftly toward where his parents were located. He'd finally found his parents' love again. This time, he'd die before letting anything hurt them.
[Super Ultra Big Ball Rasengan!]
[Lightning Blade Art!]
[Water Release: Water Cutting Wave!]
Three different ninjutsu were unleashed at once.
Especially the golden silhouette at the very top, who created an enormous spiraling sphere nearly covering half of the third meteorite. The accompanying tearing force infused into it, directly shattering the rock into countless small fragments that fell earthward.
Condensed water arcs compressed intensely, like the sharpest blade in the world, slicing through the meteorite, splitting it cleanly in two. Combined with the lightning-infused sword attack coming from the side, the duo jointly pierced straight through the second meteor.
"A perfect chance."
Onoki and Sasori were no ordinary men. The two instantly sensed the timing was right and ceased holding back their strength.
Below, smoke erupted from various parts of the mechanized suit, and even its mouth concealed weaponry. Fully armed, it targeted the airborne rocks as the temperature sharply rose, flames and explosives bursting skyward together.
Onoki also conjured a transparent cone in his hand and launched an assault on the base of the remaining meteor.
[Kongo: Infinite Series of Punches!]
[Dust Release: Outer Domain — Annihilation!]
"Boom… boom… boom…"
The deafening explosion silenced everything, while thick clouds of dust filled the air, obscuring all visibility.
Sasori had already locked onto his parents' location. At first glance, he found them immediately. Without uttering an unnecessary word, he struck their neural centers without hesitation while seizing the opportunity when they were unguarded. Then he manipulated the two mechanized puppets, diving underground with them both in tow.
When the dust finally settled, five figures emerged directly before Madara Uchiha—the Five Kages (the leaders of the five great ninja nations)—locking their gazes firmly onto him. Uncharacteristically hesitant to join battle, Sasori now radiated killing intent.
"I see. You five carrying the title of Kage truly possess considerable strength. Then allow me, Madara Uchiha, to personally send you off to your deaths."
[Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!]
Terumi Mei acted first, forming hand seals and calling out, [Water Release: Water Encampment Wall!]
Once more, fire met water in confrontation.
Ana watched as Tobirama rushed Hashirama toward the battlefield, not even stopping to recover from her own revival. Sighing, Ana couldn't help but marvel—people truly could be so different.
As for herself? If it had been Madara tearing things apart—even if he was destroying the world—she'd still wait until she fully revived before lifting a finger.
On the other side, seeing Little Pepper preparing to leave too, Ana shot forward with a burst of Shunshin and cut her off, asking, "And where do you think you're going?"
"Pfft, obviously to the battlefield too." Little Pepper replied impatiently. "Move, don't block my way."
"What good would you do there? The Nine-Tails isn't even sealed inside you anymore. Even if you wanted to find Naruto, in the middle of all this battlefield chaos, how long do you think it'd take to track him down?"
Ana's words left Little Pepper totally speechless.
"Then… what should I do?"
Sighing, Ana said, "Hakuto, you tag along with her and go find Naruto."
"Alright," Hakuto agreed readily, glancing curiously at Little Pepper.
After everyone had left, Ana turned to Orochimaru and said, "Come on then, take me to see that kid."
Orochimaru paused, hesitating for a moment, before finally giving a nod.
