The Ten-Tails' transformation made Evil God and Death God glance at each other. As they turned their heads, a Tailed Beast Bomb, larger than Susanoo, was already upon them.
"Trying to use the Ten-Tails against us?"
Facing the incoming Tailed Beast Bomb, Evil God and Death God had no intention of receiving it head-on. They didn't want to fight the Ten-Tails directly unless absolutely necessary, even if it couldn't unleash its full power under Obito's control.
The two exchanged a look, each using their own methods to evade it, leaving the troublesome bomb for the ninja forces behind them to deal with. By the time the united ninja army reacted, the Tailed Beast Bomb had already rolled down. The ninjas were packed so densely they had no chance to dodge.
Just as they were filled with despair, Nine Tails suddenly appeared before them, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb to a distant location.
Even so, the impact of the explosion, despite the distance, left many ninjas covered in dust and dirt.
"Flying Thunder God Slash!"
Death God had just emerged from Yomotsu Hirasaka when a kunai bearing the mark of the Flying Thunder God flashed past him. Before he could marvel at the kunai's accuracy, Tobirama suddenly appeared before him, lunging with his kunai held in both hands towards Death God's chest.
"Boring."
The Flying Thunder God, which struck fear into the hearts of all ninjas, was met with just those two words from Death God. The disdain in his eyes was palpable. He ignored the attacking kunai, instead extending a hand from his abdomen towards Tobirama, aiming to grab him.
Someone who could only be sealed by Kaguya and Neji, but not killed, naturally wouldn't care about the attack of a small kunai. With a physique even stronger than the Sage of Six Paths, he wouldn't be harmed even if he took the kunai head-on.
Therefore, he planned to directly extract Tobirama's soul with the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. After all, a soul like his, at the Kage level, should taste rather good.
"Now, Naruto, finish him with one strike!"
Tobirama and Minato weren't the only ones who had mastered the Flying Thunder God. After Minato was revived, Naruto naturally learned some of its basics. Though it was only a superficial understanding, it was enough. Nine Tails, in its Sage mode, appeared in Naruto's hand, wielding a sharp blade, and slashed horizontally towards Death God.
Death God's Yomotsu Hirasaka was indeed very troublesome, but he couldn't move while using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
Death God naturally noticed the anomaly behind him, but the situation didn't allow him to react. Even if he retracted the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, he wouldn't have time to dodge this attack.
*Fzzt!*
Despite his powerful physique, he was cut in half by the Sage mode Susanoo's slash, while Tobirama had already returned to Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others using the Flying Thunder God.
Death God was viciously ambushed by the Flying Thunder God he looked down upon. The expression on his face was unspeakably grim, but this was only the beginning. Just as he was about to attack Naruto and Sasuke from behind, a tail of the Ten-Tails whipped through the air, lashing him to the ground like a whip.
"Wood Release: Wooden Golem Technique!"
Although Hashirama seemed simple-minded, his combat skills were top-notch. The moment Death God landed, several giant hands emerged from the ground, swatting Death God around like a fly.
Death God wouldn't let himself be beaten like this indefinitely. After being sent flying once more, a black rift quickly appeared in front of him, and he slipped inside.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Arrow!"
Madara's chakra surged, causing his armor to flutter. As Death God emerged, an arrow made of raging flames swiftly shot towards him.
"Don't think you can keep this up forever."
Death God grabbed the incoming fire arrow with one hand and coldly spoke, looking at a constipated-looking Madara. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the fire arrow instantly dissipated.
Around him, the five elemental chakras continuously swirled, extending six phantom-like arms from his back like a spider. Even his severed torso had regrown.
"Prepare to face the wrath of a god."
Death God slowly floated into the air, looking down at everyone indifferently. Tornadoes appeared around him, each one incredibly sharp, slicing through everything. Above him, immense chakra transformed into a sky full of fireballs, raining down from above.
"What is this, a natural disaster?"
"How can we possibly win against an enemy like this?"
"I just came to participate in the war… why am I encountering something like this…"
If Madara's Heaven's Celestial Calamity had made resistance difficult, then the scene before them was like the end of the world, bringing utter despair. Fireballs fell, wind blades spun, and just one look caused the ninjas to collapse on the ground, giving up their struggle.
To make matters worse, the power wielded by Death God deeply stimulated the Ten-Tails. After losing Madara's control, Obito alone was barely managing to suppress it. Now, with such constant stimulation, it finally broke free from Obito's control under Death God's attack.
"Damn it, I calculated everything except that the connection with the Ten-Tails would be severed like this." Obito at this moment truly wanted to punch himself. He should have been more cautious of Death God and Evil God. Now, he didn't know what to do.
"Kamui!"
No one could control the rampaging Ten-Tails. In his desperation, he could only go to Madara, who was relatively reliable.
"Even the Ten-Tails is out of control, Obito? I expect a reasonable explanation from you." Madara looked at the descendant he had nurtured with his own hands, feeling incredibly exasperated. For the first time, he felt his eyes hadn't helped him identify a trustworthy person.
"Now is not the time for this. We should focus on how to survive."
"What do you mean by this?"
Obito and Madara's conversation instantly gave Hashirama a bad feeling. He instinctively looked towards the Ten-Tails, which had broken free from Obito's control.
"Hashirama, you're truly foolish. Didn't I tell you? The Ten-Tails is the God of Creation, the ancestor of chakra. Did you really think he was less powerful than those two? His previous performances were just because he couldn't use his full strength while under our control."
"Although the Ten-Tails isn't very intelligent, like a beast that only attacks with brute force, its power is undeniably real. Hashirama, I advise you to protect those people quickly. The rampaging Ten-Tails will stop at nothing."
Before Madara could finish speaking, the Ten-Tails clasped its hands together. Looking at the blue-faced, fanged demon floating in mid-air, it felt hatred from its very core. Its high-pitched roar shook the heavens.
Under the Ten-Tails' roar, lightning filled the sky, tornadoes swirled freely, earth and rocks cracked, waves surged, ground fire erupted, and the scene became one of utter devastation, as if the sky and earth were collapsing.
