"Good idea, but it's useless if you do this," the Evil God sneered. He pressed his hands to the ground, and one by one, stone figures condensed from the earth appeared.
The God of Death directly unleashed two giant lava palms from the wasteland. But even more unsettling than the palms was the black spatial rift in front of them, as it made everyone nervous; you had no idea where those hands would emerge from.
"While I don't need you Jinchuriki anymore, to awaken the Ten-Tails faster, I'll put in a little effort to keep you here. Let's end this quickly."
Obito slowly rose from the earth, speaking coldly. Under his control, all the Jinchuriki transformed into their Tailed Beast forms. In no time, five giant Tailed Beasts stood in opposition to Gyuki.
"No way, can he control the Jinchuriki even after they've transformed into their Tailed Beast forms?"
"No, Tailed Beasts are not easy to control. Even with the Rinnegan, he must be paying a great price," Tobirama thought for a moment and said, "He didn't use his Absorption Jutsu to absorb the Rasengan from the Fourth Hokage and Naruto just now. This must be the price he paid."
"So, you're saying he can't use his Rinnegan abilities?" Gaara asked.
"At least not with his current chakra levels."
"You found my weakness this quickly? But I never intended to use my Rinnegan abilities anyway. The only thing here that can hurt me is the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God. I just need to be careful and dodge it."
Obito frowned slightly at this but quickly relaxed. He looked up at the two figures floating in the sky. Although they each had their own goals, their objective for now was the same.
"If it's like this, we've definitely won this war," Yugito smiled slightly and jumped off the octopus legs first. She transformed into her Tailed Beast form mid-air, and instantly, a cat burning with blue flames appeared beside Gyuki.
"In that case, let's go too."
"Yeah!"
Minato and Naruto exchanged a look, and the next moment, an Yin and a Yang Nine-Tails stood closely together beside Gyuki.
"What? He's also a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" Obito looked at the Nine-Tails-transformed Minato in confusion. With his plan gone awry, he now had to face the attack of four Tailed Beasts.
Especially since Gyuki and the Nine-Tails were the strongest among the Tailed Beasts, their power levels were completely mismatched. The thought sent a chill down his spine.
But it was clear Minato and the others wouldn't give him a chance to process this surprise. As soon as the four Tailed Beasts gathered, they immediately launched an attack on Obito.
The Yin Nine-Tails leaped into the air and hugged Son Goku. Although it only had half its power, it could still firmly suppress Seven-Tails. With a sideways flick of its body, the Yin Nine-Tails slammed Son Goku onto the ground and then plummeted towards him like a cannonball.
Saiken tried to rescue Son Goku but was pinned to the ground by Matatabi's swift claws. Even with its strong acid, it was useless if it couldn't hit.
However, Isobu, the Three-Tails, then rolled towards Matatabi like a wheel. Matatabi, caught off guard, was sent flying and was now directly in front of Kokuo's two sharp horns. Just as it was about to be impaled, Gyuki's eight octopus legs firmly locked onto Kokuo's body.
"Come here!"
Gyuki roared, and all eight tails exerted force, directly flinging Kokuo from high in the air to the ground. The sound of the heavy object hitting the ground made the entire earth tremble.
"Little Eight, aren't Tailed Beasts known for being like brothers and sisters?" Killer Bee looked at Gyuki smashing Kokuo to the ground without mercy and suddenly felt he had misunderstood something. The violent assault made his own legs tremble.
"No, I didn't know she would be this weak... Wait, Bee, what do you mean?"
"Never mind that, the monkey is rushing over."
"I understand."
"No, let me do it!"
Gyuki raised his thick arms, intending to go head-to-head with the monkey. But at this moment, a kunai with the Flying Thunder God technique suddenly flew before the two beasts. Immediately, a flash of golden light appeared, and Minato, transformed into the Nine-Tails, arrived before them holding a half-dead Son Goku.
The Yin Nine-Tails spun through the air, throwing Son Goku like a hammer towards Sun Wukong. The monkey, who had just reached the Yin Nine-Tails, was sent flying by Son Goku before it even knew what was happening.
"These Tailed Beasts do possess immense chakra." The Evil God, witnessing a Tailed Beast battle for the first time,'s eyes lit up, showing a hint of interest.
"In any case, let's not drag this out and take care of one of them first," the God of Death suddenly said, his eyes containing chilling killing intent. Their disadvantage was evident, and even if he didn't want to act, he had to consider the bigger picture.
"Oh?" the Evil God chuckled. "It seems your time sealed away wasn't pleasant. The child from back then has become much more ruthless."
"Shut up!" the God of Death snorted coldly, controlling the lava hands on either side of him and immediately entering the spatial rift. When he reappeared, the wide palms were already in front of Gyuki.
Matatabi was the weakest, and the Nine-Tails was too strong. In comparison, attacking Gyuki would yield the greatest results.
Sensing a slight warmth from his side, Gyuki instinctively looked over, only to see a giant lava hand reaching for him.
Although the outer layer had solidified, the inside was pure magma. Gyuki dared not be careless. Not wanting to take the hit directly, Gyuki immediately dragged Kokuo back and began gathering chakra.
"Water Release: Water Encampment Wall!"
The assembled Kage would not stand idly by. Tobirama, Hozuki Gengetsu, and Terumi Mei launched a combined attack. A massive torrent of water, like a thick laser beam, easily cut off the hand reaching for Gyuki.
"Your opponents are us! Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"
Onoki and Mu flew into the air, and the white barriers in their palms slashed towards the stone figures on the ground. Even the stone figures that could reform after being crushed by the Tailed Beasts completely dissolved under the decomposition ability of Dust Release. In a short while, more than half of them were dead or injured.
"This jutsu is quite good."
The Evil God watched Onoki and Mu destroy the stone figures with a single blow, his eyes showing surprise and admiration. He never expected that the ants he looked down upon would develop this kind of ability.
The overall combat power of this era was miles apart from the past. However, it was impossible to defeat them with just this.
His figure slowly faded, merging with nature. For a moment, in this area, the earth, stones, and even the wind became the enemies of the assembled Kage.
Earth spikes rose, and wind waves surged, making them unable to guard against the attacks. The God of Death also used the Yomotsu Hirasaka to launch surprise attacks from behind from time to time, making their lives miserable.
At this moment, Naruto finally finished absorbing Sage Mode.
