After being swarmed and attacked from all sides by countless powerful enemies, Uchiha Obito once again wrapped himself in the protection of the Truth-Seeking Balls.
But this time… he emerged reborn, like a phoenix rising from its own ashes.
The confusion in his eyes was gone. His upper body now bore the black-and-white Six Paths robe, and in his hand materialized a Six Paths staff
...a clear sign that he had truly stepped into the realm of the Sage of Six Paths.
It was exactly the kind of scenario Guts once joked about during the Fourth Ninja War
"Kage-levels walking everywhere, and Super Kages becoming the new standard."
Right now, the main firepower came from Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Shisui who had one foot in the "Super Kage" door and Jiraiya, who was already at the peak of the Kage class.
Even with Sage Mode, Naruto could only assist. At best, he could combo his moves with Kakashi's Kamui to land coordinated attacks.
Might Guy, having opened the Seventh Gate, had barely stepped into Super Kage territory.
Minato had already warned him to act carefully... the power in those black orbs was terrifying but Guy could still threaten Six Paths Obito with techniques like Daytime Tiger.
Rock Lee and Might Duy, despite using the Eight Gates, weren't at that level yet.
Meanwhile, Kage-level shinobi like Terumi Mei, Gaara, and the Fourth Raikage could only focus on blocking shockwaves and defending against the White Zetsu army.
As for the regular Allied Shinobi Forces…
They couldn't even get a turn before becoming cannon fodder.
Step forward... die. That simple.
"Onee-san…"
Hanabi whispered to Hinata, who was standing protectively in front of her.
Hinata nodded slightly, back straight.
She had never tried this before… but there was no choice now.
"Shisui, can you use Sage Mode?"
Minato asked in a low voice, his own Sage Mode activated.
Shisui, standing beside him, had already dismissed his full-body Susanoo. Its massive size was a perfect target for the Truth-Seeking Balls, too risky to keep.
He shook his head slightly.
"No… but I can try to trap him with genjutsu."
Even without Kotoamatsukami, he was still
"Uchiha's Strongest Illusionist."
His skill in genjutsu was second to none.
"Using a method like Nagato's Rinnegan, we should be able to pull out the Ten Tails like the other tailed beasts… Jinchūriki or not."
Konan's voice cut in.
"Hinta, your Yin-Yang Release should make it possible."
"…I understand."
Hinata's soft voice carried a rare determination.
She raised her hand
"Universal Pull!"
"Hinata! Stop!" Minato's heart sank.
Compared to the Rinnegan's six abilities, the Tenseigan only had two gravity and repulsion but those two powers were far stronger in their pure form.
Obito felt his body suddenly dragged toward her. He arched an eyebrow.
With a casual flick of his Six Paths staff, two Truth-Seeking Balls shot toward her at blinding speed.
"Ah!"
Hinata quickly formed a hand seal no one had ever seen before.
Chakra gushed out of her body, condensing into a glowing blue-white orb, the same size as the black orbs racing toward her.
It collided with one of them.
Everyone expected it to vanish instantly like any other ninjutsu against a Truth-Seeking Ball…
But something unbelievable happened.
The black sphere was caught.
It thrashed like a wild beast trapped in a snare, struggling to break free and the harder it fought, the tighter the glowing sphere constricted it.
"What the hell is that technique!?"
Jiraiya's eyes nearly popped out.
"I've never seen a Hyūga move like that… Hinata's eyes hide more secrets than we thought," Minato muttered in shock.
Of course, none of them knew...This was a Yin-Yang Technique passed down from the ancient scrolls of Ōtsutsuki Hamura on the moon.
It wasn't ninjutsu at all.
It was Onmyōton the same primal essence as the Truth-Seeking Balls themselves.
Still, Hinata couldn't hold it for long. Her chakra trembled.
"Now!" Minato shouted.
In an instant, the battlefield erupted.
Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasengan!
Sage Art: Rasenshuriken!
Daytime Tiger!
Every major attack was unleashed at once.
Even so, Six Paths Obito was still monstrously fast.
He dodged Guy's punch and Jiraiya's Rasengan like a shadow slipping between worlds.
"Kamui!"
Kakashi's voice cut through the chaos.
Even as support, he refused to be useless.
Kamui warped Minato's Rasenshuriken mid-flight and released it from behind Obito.
At the same time, Naruto hurled his own Wind-Style Rasenshuriken.
"I'll boost you, Naruto!" Shisui appeared beside him, Mangekyō spinning.
"Inferno Style: Flame Control!"
Flames twined around the spinning shuriken, amplifying its destructive force.
It streaked toward Obito in a blaze of wind and fire.
BOOM!
When the smoke cleared, Six Paths Obito stood bleeding, his robe torn.
"It worked!" Naruto shouted, eyes bright with hope.
But at that moment, the trapped Truth-Seeking Ball finally broke free, snapping back to Obito's side.
His gaze darkened.
Forming a rapid seal, the ground trembled.
The Divine Tree surged, its growth exploding upward.
Four massive buds bloomed almost instantly, each forming a Tailed Beast Bomb that swelled with terrifying speed.
"I'll end this in one shot…"
With the Truth-Seeking Balls shielding him, Obito had no fear of the blast.
If those bombs hit, this battlefield would become a wasteland.
Then, a mocking voice cut through the heavy silence:
"Obito… are you completely insane?"
