“Naruto Uzumaki has appeared.”
Shin also saw Naruto Uzumaki arrive—Right now, both Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were on the battlefield.
Obito moved first, capturing Naruto Uzumaki. At this moment, Naruto’s strength, even at its peak, was only Kage level.
Perhaps with the Nine-Tails’ help—the power he could unleash would be greater, but against Six Paths level Obito, it wasn’t nearly enough. He was easily subdued by Obito.
Glancing at Ōnoki, Gaara, and the others charging towards him from behind, Obito took the subdued Naruto Uzumaki into the Kamui dimension.
Once Obito entered the Kamui dimension, no one could do anything to him, unless they too could enter the Kamui dimension and fight Obito there.
Kakashi’s Kamui could also enter the Kamui dimension, but Kakashi himself probably didn’t know that.
Besides, even if they entered the Kamui dimension, what could they do? They’d only get thrashed.
At this moment, if Shin and Kushina and the others didn’t intervene, no one could defeat Obito.
Not long after, Obito emerged from the Kamui dimension, and Naruto Uzumaki was thrown out—The Nine-Tails had been extracted from Naruto Uzumaki. Though he wasn’t dead yet, he was in a near-death state, looking like he was about to kick the bucket—
—He hadn’t died solely because of the tenacious life force of the Uzumaki Clan. If not for that, Naruto Uzumaki would have died long ago.
Obito sealed the other half of the Nine-Tails within Naruto Uzumaki into the Ten-Tails. His aura was now more than just a little stronger than before.
———
“Damn it! He still succeeded!” Ōnoki gritted his teeth in anger. They were still a step too late.
The current Obito was even stronger than the Obito in the original story. Shin had previously shifted five of his Truth-Seeking Orbs away—Obito had four remaining.
But now they were replenished. Obito once again had nine Truth-Seeking Orbs. Other than that, there weren’t many significant changes.
Though there weren’t many other changes, Obito’s strength had genuinely, tangibly increased. Now, Kushina and the others might not be able to defeat the current Obito.
Shin’s gaze remained fixed on the fallen Naruto Uzumaki. He could sense that the flow of Naruto Uzumaki’s life force had stopped.
He was now in a state of suspended animation, a certain power keeping Naruto Uzumaki alive.
This power was very familiar to Shin—the power of Yang Release chakra, constantly sustaining Naruto Uzumaki’s life force.
And not only that, Shin also noticed a change in Sasuke Uchiha, who was fighting Itachi Uchiha. His body lay on the ground, as if he had died.
Sasuke Uchiha’s situation was the same as Naruto Uzumaki’s. The old geezer, the Sage of Six Paths, had intervened…
So early?
Shin remained impassive. He hadn’t detected the old geezer Sage of Six Paths yet—but Shin wasn’t in a hurry. He had guessed the old geezer’s target—the God Tree.
Right.
The only thing that could attract Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki’s attention was the God Tree.
Shin was just curious. What scheme did Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki want to accomplish with the God Tree?? After all, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki had once controlled the God Tree.
The Ten-Tails was the God Tree—
—The Sage of Six Paths had also been the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki. Later, the Sage of Six Paths had separated the Ten-Tails.
———
“Shin, it looks like your trouble is unavoidable.” Tsunade said to Shin.
Tsunade’s words snapped Shin out of his thoughts. He then sensed an immense chakra approaching him.
Lifting his head, he saw Obito floating in the air, his gaze fixed intently on him.
“Obito, it seems you’re really determined to pick a fight with me… Do you think you have the strength to fight me now?”
Shin truly hadn’t intended to kill Obito. But Obito kept coming back for more, pushing his luck time and time again.
This time, Shin wouldn’t let him off—
“I won’t give you a third chance.” Shin said calmly to Obito.
“And, I don’t like people standing taller than me. So, get down here.”
Shin clenched his hand, then pressed downwards. Instantly, Obito, who was flying in the sky, plummeted and crashed heavily onto the ground.
After Shin used Universal Pull to bring Obito down, he didn’t give Obito a chance to stand up. His fists, wrapped in chakra, rained down on Obito.
“<Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!>”
Giant vacuum fists, like falling stars, descended—an ultimate Taijutsu technique that was both offensive and defensive, capable of obliterating an island in an instant.
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!”
Such powerful attacks continuously struck Obito’s body. Even as the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, with a body harder than steel, he couldn’t withstand this assault.
The defense formed by the Truth-Seeking Orbs was like an eggshell, easily shattered by the fists.
For a moment, the world was filled with Shin’s fists, each punch like a calamity, devastating the entire battlefield.
“BOOOOOOOOM!!”
———
“Inform all ninja! Retreat immediately!”
Ōnoki shouted to the Allied Shinobi Forces nearby. At this point, they were just cannon fodder here.
Though Shin hadn’t actively attacked them, the aftershocks of his attacks had already caused heavy casualties.
This was what they called “When Gods fight, Mortals Suffer.”
Not just average ninja, but even the Kage of the Five Great Villages could only retreat rapidly. Only the fearless Edo Tensei reanimations remained.
———
Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha’s world-shaking battle temporarily paused, because someone else’s battle was even more earth-shattering.
“This strength is much greater than mine. As expected of the man Little Tsuna chose! HAHAHAHA!” Hashirama Senju laughed heartily, without a care in the world.
Madara Uchiha was different from Hashirama Senju—he wasn’t carefree. Looking at Shin’s terrifyingly powerful display, Madara Uchiha’s expression was very grave.
“Madara, let’s just sit and watch. We’re both already dead. Let’s not get involved in the world of the living—” Hashirama Senju sat cross-legged on the ground and said to Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes. “Hashirama, I am different from you. Just because you’re dead doesn’t mean I am.”
He could be revived after death, but Hashirama Senju couldn’t. However, a world without Hashirama in the future would also be boring.
Thinking of this, Madara Uchiha was momentarily lost in thought. ‘Should I revive Hashirama too, to keep me company?’
Hashirama Senju didn’t know the thoughts that had just flashed through Madara Uchiha’s mind.
If he did, Hashirama Senju would probably be horrified…
Hashirama Senju was the only opponent Madara Uchiha acknowledged in his heart. Similarly, in Hashirama Senju’s eyes, Madara Uchiha was also exceptionally important.
Shin, over here, was unaware of the conversation between these two best friends. His gaze was fixed on Obito, who had been beaten into a deep crater.
The barrage of fists had created an extra-large basin, and Obito lay at the bottom.
“Did he die? Is the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki that fragile?”
