Sasuke held the Five-Tails in place, his Rinnegan eye glowing coldly. He cast a glance at Naruto—expressionless, calculating.
Above them, the remaining six Tailed Beast Jinchūriki soared down, descending like titans onto the battlefield.
Killer Bee, still in his complete Eight-Tails transformation, stood in front of Naruto and the others. Inside the depths of his consciousness, Gyūki spoke:
"Yo, Naruto, you heard that just now?"
Naruto gave a solemn nod. "Yeah… I heard it."
That voice—this was the second time Naruto had heard those words. How could he ever forget?
Gyūki rumbled, "That was the Five-Tails, Kokuō. We Tailed Beasts share a connection, a bond. Honestly… seeing them controlled like this—like tools—it really pisses me off!"
Kurama growled low from within Naruto's mind. "Tch. What else is new? Humans have always treated us like weapons. You and that Killer Bee kid are the only oddballs. The rest? Nothing but parasites."
Naruto frowned. "Come on, Kurama… you don't have to say it like that."
He turned inward.
"Uncle Bee and I—we're not like that. I see you as a brother, Kurama. You know that."
Kurama scoffed, curling up, feigning sleep. But Naruto could sense the subtle flicker of emotion inside him.
From the other side of the battlefield, Minato—still in his Reanimation form—smiled faintly. Holding the Yin half of Kurama inside him, he, too, could hear their internal dialogue.
Yin-Kurama let out a chuckle. "Yo, Fourth. Your son's got a better relationship with my other half than you ever did."
Naruto grinned. "Damn right! Kurama and I—we're brothers now."
The Kurama in Naruto's body huffed at that comment but didn't refute it.
Jiraiya, meanwhile, glanced at father and son with a frown. "Hey! What are you two grinning about? Focus up, will you?!"
Naruto waved his hand lazily. "Relax, just got a little sidetracked."
Jiraiya blinked. He couldn't hear the inner dialogue between Jinchūriki and Tailed Beast—it was all psychic communication. To him, Naruto and Minato just looked like they were zoning out mid-battle.
Suddenly, the chakra chains binding Kokuō snapped.
The Five-Tails let out a howl, and the rest of the Jinchūriki surged toward them, claws extended.
Jiraiya's face hardened. "They're coming!"
Minato and Naruto nodded.
Without hesitation, Jiraiya lunged forward. Despite his usual humor, he didn't dare underestimate Tailed Beasts—not after what happened the last time.
Once, Naruto had lost control and sprouted four tails. The scar on Jiraiya's chest from that day still throbbed—a reminder of how close to death he came.
He formed hand seals quickly, conjuring Shadow Clones and preparing Substitution Jutsu to analyze the enemy's attacks.
Minato took a different approach—elegant, efficient. He blinked between locations using the Flying Thunder God Technique, positioning himself perfectly, always one step ahead.
Together, the two legendary shinobi intercepted four of the incoming Jinchūriki, holding them off with precision.
The remaining three lunged straight for Naruto.
Naruto didn't move. He closed his eyes, gathering nature energy. Sage Mode activated—his eyes now radiating with orange pigmentation.
"Let's go."
With a thunderous bang, Naruto pivoted and launched a roundhouse kick—sending one of the charging Jinchūriki flying backward like a ragdoll.
The other two screamed, their Tailed Beasts roaring through them.
Naruto frowned.
"I can feel your pain," he muttered. "Don't worry… I'll free you."
Deep within his mindscape, Kurama opened one eye.
With a sharp whistle, Naruto formed twin Rasengan, infused with Sage Chakra.
"Sage Art: Big Ball Rasengan!"
He drove both attacks into the remaining two Jinchūriki. With explosive force, they were launched skyward.
Jiraiya, seeing an opening, clasped his hands together.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The battlefield shook as the smoke cleared—Gamabunta, Gamaken, and Gamahiro had arrived.
The Toad Bosses of Mount Myōboku.
The moment they appeared, the Tailed Beasts charged. Gamabunta unsheathed his massive tanto and swung, cursing.
"The hell's goin' on?! Did Naruto go rogue again?! Why are there so many Tailed Beasts?!"
Naruto waved. "Yo! Boss Toad!"
Gamabunta squinted, pipe still in his mouth. "Ah, it's you, Naruto!"
Minato appeared beside them in a yellow flash. "Good to see you again, Bunta."
Gamabunta's jaw dropped. "F-Fourth Hokage?! You too?!"
Jiraiya grunted. "Enough with the reunions. I didn't summon you for tea. Get to work!"
Without warning, the seven Jinchūriki attacked.
Gamabunta groaned. "Figures. Alright, Ken! Hiro! We're going tail hunting. Pick the small fry—leave the multi-tail freaks to these monsters!"
Toad Ken nodded. "I may be clumsy, but I can wrangle one tail."
He charged forward with his iron staff, engaging the One-Tail Jinchūriki.
Gamahiro followed, drawing two massive blades. With swift strikes, he challenged the Two-Tails.
Gamabunta grumbled at his brothers. "Y'all really know how to cherry-pick. Fine! I'll take on the Three-Tails!"
With that, the toad boss leapt into combat.
The battlefield suddenly felt lighter.
Killer Bee growled. "Yo, I'm in! I'll take the Seven-Tails—most tails, most trouble!"
With Bee entering the fray, four of the seven Jinchūriki were locked in combat.
That left three—directly facing Naruto, Minato, and Jiraiya.
One-on-one matchups. Direct confrontations.
And for Naruto, fighting a Tailed Beast now? Child's play.
He turned to Jiraiya. "Pervy Sage, go back up the toads—make sure they don't get blindsided. Me and Dad can handle this."
Jiraiya grunted. "You sure?"
Naruto nodded.
Understanding the plan, Jiraiya blinked over to Gamabunta and formed hand seals.
Gamabunta raised an eyebrow. "Sage Mode, huh?"
He shifted slightly. "Get on my back, old man. You'll need a steady platform to gather energy."
Once Jiraiya entered Imperfect Sage Mode, his power would soar.
Meanwhile, Obito scowled. He could see the tide turning.
"This isn't good. Sasuke—we need full transformations. Now."
Sasuke nodded silently.
Activating his Rinnegan, he began to pour chakra into the seven Jinchūriki.
One by one, their bodies exploded with light.
BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.
The chakra on the battlefield surged wildly. The air warped. The earth cracked.
The Seven Jinchūriki fully transformed—complete Tailed Beast Mode.
Shockwaves tore through the landscape. Even the crystal ball in the Allied HQ trembled.
Back at HQ, Shikaku barked, "What's going on?!"
Yamanaka Inoichi grimaced. "Massive chakra spikes! Obito just forced all seven Tailed Beasts into full transformation! Sasuke's controlling them with the Rinnegan!"
Shikaku cursed. "Damn it. Have Kakashi and Guy moved out yet?"
Inoichi nodded. "They're en route. But it'll take time—several hours at least."
Raikage slammed the table and stood. "Enough! Naruto—use Flying Thunder God and take me there. I refuse to sit here while monsters rage and shinobi die. I am the Raikage! If I don't fight in the final war, what am I?!"
His voice thundered across the command tent.
Naruto's Shadow Clone didn't even flinch. He calmly studied the battle map.
"My body's holding the line just fine, Raikage-sama. There's no need for your intervention. Not yet."
Raikage's fists shook in frustration. "Don't tell me to sit on my hands while the war ends without me! What kind of joke is that?!"
Still unfazed, Shadow Clone Naruto kept staring at the sand table. He narrowed his eyes at a specific location.
"…Wait a little longer. It'll happen soon."
