Feeling that overwhelming fury, Naruto and Sasuke simultaneously raised their heads and exchanged a glance, their expressions grim.
"How is he this fast!"
Uchiha Sasuke's expression changed, his pupils contracting sharply.
He had just activated the Rinnegan's spatial power — something akin to a spatial portal — catching Yuto off guard and forcibly transporting him to an alternate dimension that even he himself wasn't familiar with.
He never expected Yuto to return this quickly!
"Naruto, I need you to stop him!"
Sasuke quickly raised his head toward Naruto and shouted.
"That commanding tone of yours is pretty annoying, you know."
"But at a time like this, we can't worry about that."
Naruto pursed his lips, then his body turned into a streak of golden light as he charged toward Yuto!
When Yuto was still about a kilometer from the center of the battlefield, Naruto had already rushed to right in front of him.
"Interesting. This is quite unexpected!"
A cold smile played across Yuto's face.
The fact that Naruto and Sasuke had obtained the Six Paths power was truly somewhat unexpected for Yuto.
So the Sage of Six Paths couldn't resist lending a hand after all?
Naruto raised his fist and punched Yuto squarely in the chest, sending a heavy thud through the surrounding air.
"Uzumaki Naruto!"
Yuto took Naruto's punch head-on without so much as flinching, his body completely unmoving as he stared coldly at Naruto before him.
What!
Naruto's face paled with shock. Before he could pull back, Yuto's whipping kick slammed into his stomach.
Naruto exploded on the spot, dispersing into a puff of white smoke!
With a boom, the ground beneath Yuto's feet erupted as Naruto's real body burst from underground, driving a punch straight at Yuto's chin.
But Yuto seemed to have anticipated this. The instant Naruto emerged, he simply stepped back, effortlessly dodging Naruto's ambush strike.
Yuto shifted his footing and kicked again, aiming straight for Naruto's neck.
Swish!
Several chakra arms immediately burst from Naruto's body, forcibly catching Yuto's kick.
"I absolutely won't let you take another step forward!"
Naruto let out a roar, raising one hand as massive amounts of chakra gathered in his palm.
Wind Style — Super Large Rasenshuriken!
A massive Rasengan shaped like a shuriken, carrying countless microscopic chakra blades, instantly formed in Naruto's palm and hurtled straight toward Yuto.
"You think you can stop me?"
"You really think that just because you got the Sage of Six Paths' power, you can stand on equal footing with us?"
A cold sneer on his face, Yuto raised his palm and struck forward!
His palm, brimming with terrifying power and cloaked in Tenseigan chakra, swatted Naruto's attack to pieces!
The wild force also surged through the chakra arms, slamming directly into Naruto's chest!
Naruto's eyes flew wide open as his body was blasted away, tumbling through the air for dozens of rotations before he forcibly arrested his momentum!
"So strong!"
The searing pain in his chest made Naruto grimace.
His expression icy, Yuto walked toward Naruto step by step. With each step, his aura grew stronger, terrifying pressure spreading in all directions!
"You'll only know if I can or not after we fight!"
"And I've made a vow — I will defeat you and become the greatest Hokage in history!"
Naruto rose to his feet again with a defiant roar.
"Hokage?"
"Konohagakure is already history. Where would there be a Hokage?"
"I've spared you several times before. Since you're so eager to die, I'll send you on your way."
Yuto gave a cold sneer, and his figure vanished in an instant.
Naruto's pupils contracted sharply as he rapidly performed the Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Massive clouds of white smoke billowed up, and in the blink of an eye, over a hundred Narutos appeared across the battlefield, quickly spreading out.
Yuto suddenly appeared before the Naruto who had been standing in that spot, punching him to pieces that dispersed into white smoke!
"It's precisely because the village is gone that I have to defeat you even more!"
"Only then can I rebuild the village, and only then can I become Hokage! Your ambitions will never come true!"
Over a hundred Narutos roared in unison, their combined momentum so staggering it actually made Yuto's ears ache!
"Charge!!"
"Sage Art — Super Large Rasengan Barrage!"
Naruto's shadow clones charged forward en masse, each one wielding a massive Sage Art Rasengan.
"Truth-Seeking Orb Light Cannon!"
Yuto's expression was ice-cold. He raised both hands and fired a barrage of golden Truth-Seeking Orbs like a machine gun at the charging army of Naruto clones!
Countless shadow clones were wiped out in an instant, before they could even get close to Yuto!
In the blink of an eye, all hundred-odd shadow clones had vanished.
On the battlefield, only nine Narutos remained!
This was the chance!
Seizing the brief opening after Yuto finished his technique, all nine shadow clones charged at Yuto in unison.
Each clone had compressed a Rasengan of a completely different chakra nature in their hands!
"Sage Art — Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken!"
In each clone's hand was a Rasenshuriken infused with a different Tailed Beast's chakra nature, each one radiating an astonishing aura of destruction!
At that moment, in Yuto's field of vision, it was as if the silhouettes of all nine Tailed Beasts appeared behind Naruto, all roaring at him in unison.
"Hmph. Pathetic tricks!"
Yuto let out a cold snort as golden Tenseigan chakra gathered between his hands.
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
A tornado of silver light, carrying incomprehensible destructive power, swept away Naruto's entire combination attack in a single pass!
Naruto's real body was blown away right after, crashing heavily into the ground and forming a massive crater!
"The peace you want to build requires the sacrifice of countless ninja to achieve!"
"Those dead ninja had families and friends too! How can peace built on grief possibly be real peace!"
"And how could I possibly lose to someone like you!!"
Naruto rose from the deep crater, golden Tailed Beast chakra rapidly expanding until, in the blink of an eye, it formed the massive golden chakra body of the Nine-Tails!
The enormous golden Nine-Tails Naruto let out a furious roar and charged toward Yuto.
Hearing those words, Yuto couldn't help but admit that Naruto's Talk no Jutsu certainly had some power — that speech was hard to refute.
But just because something sounds good doesn't make it right!
"A brat who's never even experienced war doesn't deserve to talk about peace."
A bored expression on his face, Yuto watched the enormous golden Nine-Tails charging toward him.
The ground beneath Yuto's feet cracked instantly as he launched himself skyward.
Even though Naruto had moved first, Yuto's speed was still a cut above, and he instantly appeared right in front of the Nine-Tails' head.
"Daytime Tiger!"
Yuto let out a low shout as pure taijutsu exploded outward, a tiger-like roar detonating across the sky.
A single strike shattered half of the giant Nine-Tails' body, and Naruto coughed up a mouthful of blood as he was blasted away again!
This blow sent him flying even farther — Naruto's body streaked through the air and crashed less than ten meters from where Uchiha Madara and Sasuke's battlefield was located!
"Naruto!"
Sasuke saw Naruto crash nearby, his voice carrying clear concern.
Yuto descended from the sky, landing nearby and shattering the ground below with a thunderous boom.
"Oh, you're not dead yet, Madara?"
Yuto glanced in Uchiha Madara's direction, a hint of mockery in his cold smile.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara was still locked in a struggle with Sasuke over the Ten-Tails. But without Naruto's earlier suppression, Madara was gradually regaining the initiative.
Not only did he suddenly halt Sasuke's extraction, he even began slowly pulling the partially extracted Ten-Tails back into his body.
Forcibly extracting a Tailed Beast from a Jinchuriki's body was essentially a clash of wills and convictions!
And how could Uchiha Madara's will and conviction possibly lose to Sasuke's?
"I'm not going to die at the hands of some brat, Yuto!"
"Even the same Six Paths power comes in different grades, Sasuke!"
Madara answered Yuto while casting a frigid gaze at Sasuke, looking at him as though he were already a corpse!
Damn it!!
Sasuke cursed inwardly, his expression dark. According to the plan he and Naruto had devised, they would first use spatial ninjutsu to banish Yuto to another dimension, then combine their forces to extract the Ten-Tails from Uchiha Madara's body.
Having been at Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito's side for so long, Sasuke naturally knew that Madara intended to use the Ten-Tails' power to cast a technique called the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Although Sasuke still didn't fully understand what kind of technique it was…
Regardless, he couldn't let Madara and the others succeed.
If they could extract the Ten-Tails from Madara's body, then Madara would surely die, and the two of them could join forces against Yuto.
However, plans could never keep up with reality. Yuto was simply too fast, completely disrupting Sasuke and Naruto's strategy.
Since that was the case, all they could do was fight for their lives!
Knowing he would surely lose if he continued, Sasuke released his grip on the Ten-Tails extraction and flashed to appear behind Naruto!
Sasuke and Naruto stood back to back — one facing Uchiha Madara, the other facing Yuto.
With Sasuke's withdrawal, Uchiha Madara quickly pulled back the partially extracted Ten-Tails, and the half of its body that had been lost instantly regenerated completely as he rose to his feet.
"I don't know how you two obtained this power, but are you ready to endure the wrath of Uchiha Madara?"
Uchiha Madara cast a frigid gaze at Sasuke and Naruto.
"Tools are just tools."
"Being used by someone else while thinking it's your own will — how pathetic!"
"So, how do you two want to die?"
Contempt in his eyes, Yuto spoke with a cold, meaningful sneer.
At that moment, Yuto and Uchiha Madara simultaneously released astonishing auras, their terrifying pressure bearing down on Naruto and Sasuke like a storm!
Feeling that incredible pressure!
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Naruto and Sasuke's foreheads, perspiration streaming down.
"These two guys are seriously strong!"
Naruto watched Yuto cautiously ahead, his tone slightly exasperated.
"Idiot, you don't need to tell me that. We're really going all out from here."
Sasuke gazed solemnly at Uchiha Madara across from them, his voice low as he spoke.
