Hall of Contemplation.
"Hiromi, it's your turn next."
As Madara's voice fell, Shikaku looked at the grim-faced Hiromi, his heart pounding uncontrollably, feeling very terrified.
Because he knew that Hiromi had just gone out but returned precisely because he didn't want Madara to target him, and also wanted to use Guy's near-killing of Madara to warn Madara to stop while he was ahead. Even when Madara killed Guy, Hiromi did not make a move.
To be honest, this was the first time Shikaku had seen Hiromi make such concessions. Hiromi's level of tolerance for Madara was already to a degree that even he, Shikaku, found shocking.
But he didn't expect that Madara, having luckily survived, would still dare to provoke Hiromi.
Although he didn't know what trump cards Hiromi had, seeing Hiromi not at all surprised by Madara's form, Shikaku believed that Hiromi absolutely had the means to win.
It was only because Hiromi was plotting against the existence of that Black Zetsu, wanting to completely annihilate it, that he had tolerated Madara's existence all along.
Now, Madara's provocation was like deliberately throwing a spark into a pile of gunpowder ten thousand meters away.
Fury!
Hiromi felt this emotion for the first time in a long while.
Did he really think he was invincible just because he had the Rinnegan and Six Paths Sage Mode?
Hiromi stood up and walked out of the hall step by step, his killing intent fierce.
He would endure no more!
Kill Madara!
And then destroy this planet!
Black Zetsu had wanted to appear, but upon seeing the magma surging thousands of meters away, his first thought was to take Madara and leave.
However, seeing the excitement and anticipation for battle in Madara's eyes, he knew that even if he took him away, Madara would still return.
At this moment, he felt a twinge of hatred.
Why did Kotoamatsukami not work on the Rinnegan?
Otherwise, he would have been able to control Madara.
Now, he could only wait for Madara's fighting spirit to fade. But even if Madara didn't want to fight anymore, if he, Black Zetsu, dared to appear, he would absolutely be targeted and killed as the primary objective by Hiromi.
He was unwilling to do anything that risked his life. He still had a long time to resurrect his mother.
Thinking of this, he took Obito's broken body, entered the Kamui dimension, and disappeared.
—
Boom!!!
The ground erupted, and a stifling heat covered the surroundings, the air itself filled with turbulence.
Madara watched the youth walking toward him step by step.
His platinum body was clad in black and red combat attire, and the blood-red pendant on his forehead, like his cold gaze, exuded a turbulent aura. His wild hair was tied back, but it did nothing to suppress his anger.
He had never seen this kind of Chakra Mode before.
However, Ninjutsu no longer held any meaning for him. The Rinnegan stood above all Ninjutsu.
"I hope you can give me enough of a surprise." Madara charged forward.
The Truth-Seeking Orb, which only had an attack range of seventy meters, shot out along with him. But midway, the magma surging underground erupted.
Boom!
In an instant, it engulfed him.
Madara sneered and reached out his hand.
"It would be better not to play such little tricks."
His hand absorbed the magma from the volcanic eruption. He ignored the other volcanoes erupting around him.
The next moment, Hiromi appeared from within the volcano behind him.
"Did I allow you to absorb my Chakra?" Hiromi reached out to grab him, his tone cold.
Madara felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart, as if he were being watched by an even more formidable gaze.
An eye stronger than the Rinnegan?
He turned his head and, within that blinding white radiance, saw a pair of ripple-patterned eyes covered in tomoe.
The Rinnegan!
And it was an even more powerful, higher-level eye than his own!
"How is this possible..."
Madara couldn't believe it. He hurriedly tried to dodge, and used Limbo: Border Jail, wanting to block Hiromi's hand.
Limbo: Border Jail's shadows could be seen by the Rinnegan and sensed by the Six Paths Sage Mode. Hiromi could see them clearly, but his hand didn't pause in the slightest, as if he couldn't see those shadows at all.
The next moment, at the volcano, a large black and red hand appeared, grabbing the shadows, pulling them into the volcano, and disappearing.
Madara immediately used the remaining three shadows to buy himself time. But before the shadows could act, three large black and red hands erupted from the ground, grabbing toward them.
However, this time Madara was prepared. In an instant, a flash of blue emerged from the three shadows. In a flash, they transformed into two-hundred-meter-tall Perfect Susanoo, ignoring the large black and red hands, and struck toward Hiromi.
At this moment, the ground fell into madness. The stifling magma rampaged and surged, and the flat ground within a thousand-meter radius instantly turned into a huge bulge.
Even if the small volcanoes above erupted with magma, they could not stop the swelling momentum of this thousand-meter-wide bulge.
Just as the three two-hundred-meter-tall Perfect Susanoo were about to strike Hiromi, the thousand-meter-tall volcano erupted, covering the surroundings.
Madara took the opportunity to retreat rapidly, watching the pillar of magma before him. The three Susanoo were within it, as if punished by a natural disaster, and while struggling, they slowly escaped. Their hard blue shells had been melted away for the most part, looking very tattered.
Madara looked ahead solemnly. Suddenly, he noticed something strange—why was no magma splashing out?
He lifted his head and saw that above this thousand-meter magma pillar, a sphere radiating white light was rapidly condensing.
One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters...
Soon, it reached a thousand meters, emitting a stifling heat that distorted space.
The thousand-meter magma pillar below had dissipated, revealing Hiromi below, who was exuding a noble aura and looking at him coldly.
At this moment, the surroundings fell silent.
Only the wind howled, carrying the ashes annihilated by the high temperature as it drifted.
Madara stared solemnly at the thousand-meter-wide white sphere, sensing the terror of what was being conceived within it. He absolutely could not let that thing appear successfully.
The next moment, a two-hundred-meter-tall Susanoo erupted from his body. The same was true for his four shadows. The multi-faced Susanoo, with ten hands forming seals, exerted all their strength.
"Hah!!!"
Amidst Madara's roar, the sky darkened.
Looking up, he saw a meteorite breaking through the dim clouds in the sky, descending.
This Tengai Shinsei was far larger than the two that had previously annihilated the Allied Shinobi Forces. It was at least two thousand meters in size.
The wind pressure caused by its descent was impacting and ravaging everything on the ground, destroying and ruining everything that existed.
Only the thousand-meter white sphere floating in the air beneath the meteorite and Hiromi remained motionless.

On the other side, Naruto opened his eyes suddenly.
On his hand, the Six Paths Power: Yang seal appeared.
Naruto clenched his fists and looked at Minato. "Dad, send me back."
Minato didn't know what had happened, but seeing Naruto's spirited appearance, he was very happy and nodded in agreement.
In an instant, he brought Naruto and Shizune and appeared on the battlefield of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
At this time, Sasuke also woke up.
Orochimaru laughed, watching their performance with great anticipation.
Kabuto, however, had suffered an even more severe blow. His pupils trembled as he doubted his own existence. Having broken away from Orochimaru, he was constantly experiencing schemes, failures, and blows.
Who exactly was he? What was the meaning of living?
No one paid attention to Kabuto.
Itachi frowned, looking at Sasuke and Naruto.
Sasuke and Naruto locked eyes, seeing only each other, and the question the Sage of Six Paths had just asked them—"What do you want to do? What do you hope to gain from the end of this battle?"
Naruto's answer was: "Perhaps I am very similar to that person called Asura, but I am different from him. I am very stupid, very naive, and I don't understand many things, but I know what friends are. I want to protect them, that is all."
Sasuke's reply was: "It is true that I am very similar to Indra, but I am who I am. Since someone wants to release Ōtsutsuki Kaguya to destroy the world, I will eliminate them. The same goes for Hiromi, who is disrupting the world's balance."
At this moment, the two of them reached an agreement—for the sake of world peace, they intended to seal Madara and Hiromi.
The Six Paths power and the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan filled both of them with great confidence.
That was until they saw a two-thousand-meter-wide meteorite crashing down from the sky.
The fierce momentum made their pupils constrict sharply.
However, if it were them, they could still handl...
The next moment, they saw the thousand-meter white sphere of light beneath the two-thousand-meter meteorite instantly burst and crack open.
As if it had been forcibly shattered by something, a terrifying monster was born.
BOOM!!!
Even from thousands of meters away, they could still feel the scorching wind, the overwhelming power, and the high temperature that destroyed everything.
They couldn't help but gulp, their pupils trembling slightly.
