"Naruto!"
"Sasuke!"
The two shouted each other's names as they led their tailed beasts into battle. Naruto stood within the mighty Kurama, the Nine-Tails. Sasuke, commanding the other seven tailed beasts through his Rinnegan, charged forward in unison.
Kurama growled fiercely and unfurled all nine tails in a massive sweep.
"ROOOOARRR!!!"
The roar echoed across the battlefield like thunder. The massive tails crashed down, repelling all seven tailed beasts. Even Sasuke himself was sent flying backward from the shockwave.
As he skidded across the ground, Sasuke narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists.
How... How is he this strong? Even with all this power... I'm still being pushed back?!
Jiraiya, witnessing the sheer might of Naruto's Nine-Tails form, burst out laughing.
"Ha ha ha! That's my student! I never expected Naruto and Kurama to be this strong! What's there to fear now?! Minato, let's join the fun!"
Minato chuckled, clearly proud of his son. Every father relishes seeing others praise their child—but this? This was on another level.
On the battlefield, Kurama spoke inside Naruto's mind.
"So, what's the plan now?"
Naruto's eyes narrowed.
"We pressure them—force them to make a mistake."
He immediately formed a Shadow Clone, which absorbed the remaining natural energy from the original Naruto and continued gathering more. Meanwhile, the real Naruto focused on combat.
"Clone, double-check the location of their black receivers. Are they the same as before?"
The Sage Mode Shadow Clone crouched beside Naruto and nodded.
With the intel confirmed, Naruto charged forward atop Kurama.
Sasuke growled and directed the seven Tailed Beasts to counterattack.
Elsewhere, Obito observed the battle and prepared to join the fray—but Jiraiya had already sensed his movement.
"Perfect timing! Sage Mode activated!"
With a puff of smoke, Jiraiya entered Sage Mode. This time, he didn't summon Fukasaku and Shima—there was no need. Unlike the time he fought Pain, Minato was here. Together, the two of them could take on Obito.
In a flash, both Minato and Jiraiya appeared in front of Obito.
"Your opponent is us," Jiraiya said, cracking his knuckles.
Minato stood calmly, gazing at the masked man. "Obito... It's not too late. You can still turn back."
Obito scoffed. "Now? You still want to lecture me after everything?"
Minato's tone softened. "No good teacher abandons his student."
Obito's face twisted with resentment. "You don't get to say that. You weren't there when it mattered! Some Yellow Flash you are!"
Jiraiya, hearing the conversation, was now completely certain: the masked man was not Uchiha Madara—it was Uchiha Obito. The same boy he once met as a child, now twisted into something unrecognizable.
"Hey, Obito!" Jiraiya called out. "By seniority, I'm your master's master. That makes me your grandmaster! So sit down and listen while I talk."
He pointed a finger at Obito.
"You've gone too far. You know damn well how your teacher treated you—and Kushina too. She looked after you like her own. Yet on the night Naruto was born, you used that to attack her and Minato. Because of you, they died."
He shook his head.
"Even Orochimaru didn't stoop this low. At least he has some psychological issues. You? You lost your humanity. At least Nagato's goal made sense. He wanted peace. What's your excuse?"
Jiraiya turned to Minato.
"Looks like my track record with students is way better than yours. Can't compare at all!"
Minato sighed and rubbed the back of his head, smiling awkwardly.
Obito, fuming, roared, "Don't act like you're invincible, old man!"
With that, he activated his Kamui, phasing partially and rushing forward.
Jiraiya cracked his neck. "Fine. Today I'll do your sensei a favor—and clean house."
He launched his attack. Minato, though hesitant to fight his former student, had no choice but to back up Jiraiya.
Meanwhile, Chōmei, the Seven-Tails, soared into the sky and began forming a Tailed Beast Bomb.
Naruto, riding Kurama, leapt up, landed a solid punch on Chōmei's face, wrapped him up with a tail, and slammed him to the ground.
Below, Isobu, the Three-Tails, was lying in wait.
Just as Kurama was about to stomp on Isobu, the turtle-like tailed beast spun into a high-speed rolling charge, evading the hit like a battering ram.
Naruto grunted. The Seven-Tails he'd just slammed wasn't down yet, wriggling to get free.
He tried to stomp again, but Saiken, the Six-Tails, clamped its massive maw onto Kurama's forearm, spewing corrosive slime over the chakra cloak.
To make matters worse, Isobu turned sharply mid-roll and aimed straight at Naruto.
Kurama's other massive hand shot out, intercepting the Three-Tails' charge mid-air.
BOOM!
A shockwave thundered across the ground.
Suddenly, Kokuō, the Five-Tails, came charging in, its massive horn glowing with fiery chakra.
Just as it was about to gore Kurama, Gyūki, the Eight-Tails, appeared with a punch from the side.
"Not so fast!"
With a mighty blow, Kokuō was knocked away.
But the next attack came immediately—Matatabi, the Two-Tails, along with Shukaku and Son Gokū, each swung their tails simultaneously.
Naruto smirked.
"Not today!"
Kurama stood tall, and Naruto activated a technique he had developed in his past life—an improved version of the Hyuga Clan's Rotation, adapted for the Nine-Tails.
Kurama spun rapidly, using all nine tails to create a barrier of destruction.
"Nine-Tails Spin!"
The whirling tails deflected all incoming strikes, sending the other tailed beasts staggering.
Killer Bee whooped with laughter. "Yo! Naruto just dropped a new taijutsu bomb—call that move the Nine Tails Twister!"
Gyūki groaned. "You really are a naming expert, huh…"
Back on the field, the Sage Mode Shadow Clone had completed its task.
"All the chakra receivers—same as in the last timeline. Locations confirmed."
Naruto nodded.
"Good. Now let's turn up the pressure."
Sasuke, on the other side, had reached his breaking point.
"Naruto! Naruto! Naruto! Again and again—why is it always YOU?!"
He thought that with the Rinnegan and control over seven tailed beasts, victory was assured. But once again, Naruto was beating him down.
He clenched his fists, snarling in frustration.
"Fine then! I'll END this!"
Sasuke formed a hand seal. Under his Rinnegan's influence, all seven tailed beasts aligned, charging a massive combined Tailed Beast Bomb.
Even Obito, in the middle of fighting Minato and Jiraiya, paused.
"Heh… finally getting serious?"
Jiraiya's eyes widened. "This much chakra… that's a weapon of mass destruction!"
Minato quickly stepped to his side. "Sensei, if necessary, I'll use Flying Thunder God to get you out. I'm reanimated—it doesn't matter if I get hit."
Jiraiya's concern, however, was on Naruto.
"How will Naruto handle this…?"
Naruto remained calm.
He raised his hand. Kurama opened his mouth, forming his own Tailed Beast Bomb, condensed with precision and power.
Eight-Tails spoke up. "We're joining!"
Naruto quickly countered. "No. Uncle Bee, Gyūki—protect Pervy Sage and my dad. That's your priority."
Without hesitation, the Eight-Tails wrapped both Jiraiya and Minato in its tails and moved them far back.
Obito scoffed. "Fools. As if hiding matters—I'll just phase through."
Orochimaru poked his head out of a self-dug tunnel. "Hmm… time to lie low. I'm not getting vaporized for anyone."
Elsewhere, Suigetsu and Karin screamed at Jūgo to start digging faster.
"Dig like your life depends on it—BECAUSE IT DOES!"
