**The Skyscreen broadcast continued.**
The Allied Shinobi Forces scattered like a tide, rushing to fend off the White Zetsu army attempting to land on the island.
Meanwhile, the Five Kage and some strong fighters who remained at the center of the island were not idle.
"We need to attack too. We must defeat him before the Allied Forces determine the victor!" Tsunade said seriously, staring at Naruto in the sky.
"Stop wasting words! This old man has wanted to teach this evil brat a lesson for a long time!" The Fourth Raikage snorted angrily. He leaped up, wrapped in lightning, and punched towards Naruto.
"Wait, Raikage! Don't be impulsive!" Tsunade tried to stop him, but it was too late.
A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Naruto's mouth; he didn't take the Raikage seriously at all.
"Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push)!"
As the Raikage approached, Naruto merely twitched his eyelids. The power of the Rinnegan erupted instantly, and the Raikage was blasted backward like a cannonball, flying back even faster than he came.
Fortunately, the Fifth Kazekage Gaara laid down some sand where he fell, preventing him from smashing into the ground.
"Raikage, you're too impulsive. Didn't you read the intelligence the Hokage shared with us? That kid's Rinnegan has the power to repel everything around it and absorb ninjutsu chakra. Your attacks won't work at all!"
The Tsuchikage Ōnoki floated to the Fourth Raikage's side and scolded him. The Fourth Raikage was still full of anger but speechless.
"Among us, only the Hokage's monstrous strength can be effective, so let the Hokage take the main offensive, and we'll cover her," Gaara said calmly with his arms crossed.
"Agreed."
"Okay."
"Let's do it that way."
The Five Kage agreed to Gaara's suggestion one after another. Just as they planned to coordinate their attacks, Naruto in the sky chuckled lightly.
"Just relying on you lot, you're not worthy of me personally taking action."
Saying this, Naruto formed seals with his hands again.
"Sei (Blue), Byaku (White), Shu (Vermilion), Gen (Black), Kū (Void), Nan (South), Hoku (North), San (Three), Gyoku (Jewel)! Kuhonsubaka (Nine Masked Beasts)!"
As Naruto's voice fell, nine discs formed of chakra suddenly appeared behind him.
From the discs, nine peculiar-looking puppets emerged and hovered behind Naruto.
"Hehe, Five Kage, pass the test I've set for you first."
With a thought from Naruto, those puppets followed his command and pounced towards the Five Kage.
The Five Kage were not to be outdone.
"Finish them quickly! Don't let these puppets block our path!"
Tsunade shouted loudly.
However, as soon as they engaged, the Five Kage realized how troublesome these puppets were. Each puppet possessed one of Naruto's abilities or powers, and each had strength no less than a Kage-level ninja.
So after engaging, the Five Kage were clearly at a disadvantage.
"Hokage-sama, we're here to help you!"
Konoha's Noble Blue Beast, Might Guy, suddenly appeared beside Tsunade, kicking a puppet away.
The Five Kage still had a unit of 20,000 Allied Forces beside them, and now was the time for them to be useful.
Many more people rushed up successively, helping the Five Kage withstand the puppet offensive.
"Mizukage-sama, leave this to us. Please go and end this war quickly!"
Chōjūrō, wielding the Hiramekarei, barely parried the attack of the Reaper puppet and said to the Fifth Mizukage Terumī Mei.
"Thank you for your hard work, Chōjūrō."
Terumī Mei broke away and, without hesitation, spat at Naruto from a distance.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave."
Naruto twitched his eyelids slightly, and the Mizukage's ninjutsu was completely absorbed by him.
"It's useless, Mizukage. Ninjutsu has no effect on him," Tsuchikage Ōnoki reminded again.
Just then, a Tailed Beast Ball suddenly flew from the edge of the battlefield, shooting straight towards Naruto.
Naruto frowned slightly.
"A Tailed Beast Ball? I can't absorb chakra of this magnitude quickly."
Saying this, he used Shinra Tensei to deflect the Tailed Beast Ball.
However, Naruto didn't expect that behind the deflected Tailed Beast Ball, a giant chakra arrow was hidden!
The arrow crashed into Naruto at extremely high speed and exploded with a boom.
This explosion instantly lifted everyone's spirits, solidifying their belief in victory.
"The attack worked, but why didn't he deflect it?" Terumī Mei asked.
"His jutsu has a five-second cooldown every time it's used. As long as we seize this weakness, we can defeat him!" Tsunade answered.
In the distance, Sasuke controlled Susanoo to retract the chakra bow and arrow, but he didn't let his guard down. Instead, he increased the chakra output, upgrading Susanoo to its Perfect form.
"That guy Naruto won't be defeated so easily."
Beside him, Killer B, who had completely transformed into his Tailed Beast form, shouted loudly: "You brat, don't know what's good for you, ambitious to the core, obsession turned to demon, if you don't wake up, wash your neck for the slaughter! Oh yeah!"
"B! You idiot, what nonsense are you talking about! Things have come to this, we can't possibly give that kid another chance!" The Fourth Raikage shouted loudly at Killer B.
"Heh, give me a chance?"
Naruto's voice came from the smoke of the explosion. Everyone saw that after the smoke cleared, Naruto stood there unharmed.
"Sure enough, attacks like that can't hurt him at all," Sasuke said softly.
In the distance, watching the huge Susanoo and Gyūki confronting Naruto after almost achieving results, Gaara said softly: "When ninjutsu doesn't work, do huge bodies work better?"
"Then, Shukaku, let's go too!"
"Oh! Let them see my greatness!"
Gaara's body expanded rapidly, turning into a huge tanuki dozens of meters tall under the surprised gazes of the other four Kage.
"I'm out again!"
"Shukaku, don't mess around. We have serious business to do," Gaara stood on top of Shukaku's head, reminding him softly.
"I know!" Shukaku looked at Naruto's eyes and said angrily, "Using those eyes to do things that destroy the Ninja World really pisses me off!"
At the same time, several huge figures appeared on the battlefield.
Yugito Nii stood beside Gyūki, her body rapidly transforming into a huge flaming cat.
On the sea surface, the strange-looking giant turtle Isobu slowly floated up and landed on the edge of the island, advancing towards the center. Along the way, countless White Zetsu screamed miserably as they died under its feet, boosting the morale of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
"I am the Handsome Monkey King of Water Curtain Cave, Sun Wukong!"
A mountain-sized gorilla leaped fiercely and landed beside Gyūki, causing huge wind and waves.
"Son, restrain yourself a bit." Rōshi sat on top of the Four-Tails Son Gokū's head, calm as an old monk in meditation.
"You monkey, still so short-tempered."
The Five-Tails Kokuō walked gracefully to the side of the Four-Tails Son Gokū, her Jinchūriki Han standing on her head.
"Jijijiji, we aren't late, right?"
The Six-Tails Saiken and the Seven-Tails Chōmei appeared together with their Jinchūriki. The two big bugs seemed to be joking together.
"Everyone's here. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we Tailed Beasts gathered like this," the Two-Tails Matatabi said with emotion.
Gyūki looked at her and reminded, "Matatabi, don't you think we are missing someone?"
"Hmm?"
Before Matatabi could speak, Son Gokū extended his fingers and counted: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine... No one is missing, the number is just right."
"Ji! Wait! What's with this purple thing?! Is it on our side?!" Saiken looked at Sasuke's Susanoo, blinked its small bean-like eyes, and then suddenly pointed its tail at Susanoo like a frightened cat, asking the other Tailed Beasts.
The other Tailed Beasts looked towards Susanoo one after another.
Sasuke twitched his eye and quietly maneuvered Susanoo a bit further away from them.
The Tailed Beasts withdrew their gazes.
"So where did that guy Kurama go? Why haven't he appeared when we've all arrived?" Kokuō asked.
"Why care about that stinky fox? Can't we deal with this brat with us here?" Shukaku said unhappily.
"That's true. That guy Kurama is stronger than all of us; nothing will happen to him. Let's focus on solving the matter at hand."
"Tch!" Shukaku made an unhappy noise.
Opposite them, Naruto looked at these majestic giant beasts and couldn't help sneering.
"Want to suppress me with size? I happen to have time, so I'll play with you."
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Accompanied by a puff of smoke, a rhinoceros, centipede, chameleon, multi-headed dog, ox, panda, crab, and other animals comparable in size to Tailed Beasts appeared on the battlefield one after another. They were all summoned beasts controlled by the Animal Path of the Rinnegan.
Before the Tailed Beasts could feel surprised or offended, Naruto formed seals again.
"Summoning Jutsu: Gedo Statue!"
An incredibly ugly monster resembling a tree stump, several times larger than the Tailed Beasts, appeared on the battlefield.
Now the Tailed Beasts were truly shocked and angry.
"Damn it, to actually bring that thing..."
"Should we retreat first?"
"Stop joking. If this war is lost, the entire Ninja World will be destroyed, and we'll die anyway!"
The Tailed Beasts argued for a couple of sentences then stopped, uniting against the common enemy again.
Now, the giant beasts on the field were clearly divided into two camps.
On the left was the plump version of the Gedo Statue, 200 meters tall, led by Naruto, with eight small fry around 60-70 meters tall under his command.
On the right were eight Tailed Beasts with massive chakra and one Susanoo.
Both sides were equal in number, but which side was stronger would only be known after fighting.
"I have to contribute too." Tsunade gently bit her finger and swiped the blood across the palm of her other hand.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
*Poof!*
A gigantic slug was summoned.
"Tsunade-sama, you called me... Eeeeeeeh!!!"
Katsuyu sensed no less than ten extremely terrifying chakra signatures as soon as she appeared and instantly trembled with fear.
Although Katsuyu was a monster that had lived for a thousand years, she had a gentle personality and usually acted like a child.
"Katsuyu, please fight alongside me. We absolutely cannot lose this war!"
"Okay, Tsunade-sama."
Hearing Tsunade say this, Katsuyu quickly calmed down and stood together with the Tailed Beasts.
Thus, another general was added to the right camp.
...
**Under the Skyscreen**, countless people were shocked speechless.
Even many ninjas were shocked by the content on the Skyscreen.
"What are those creatures? Summoned beasts? How can there be so many large summoned beasts?!"
"No, didn't you see? Some were originally humans but suddenly turned into giant monsters."
"What exactly is going on? Is it some kind of forbidden ninjutsu?" Ninjas whispered below, their faces full of doubt and shock.
For most ninjas, Tailed Beasts were things they had never even heard of. This was true even for many ninjas in the Five Great Ninja Villages.
Because the existence of Tailed Beasts was generally a village's top secret. Unless a Tailed Beast rampage event had occurred in the village, low-level ninjas would never know about the existence of such creatures.
However, the high-ranking officials of the Five Great Ninja Villages wouldn't get bogged down in these small details.
...
**Sunagakure**
Rasa stared fixedly at the Skyscreen, daring not to miss a single piece of information.
"So this Gaara is the new One-Tail Jinchūriki. How ridiculous! To let a tool replace me as Kazekage!"
Rasa's roar echoed in the office.
"Someone! Bring me that old monk Bunpuku! I want to see what conspiracy exists between them!"
...
**In a dungeon in Sunagakure**, the monk Bunpuku was imprisoned in a dark cell, putting his palms together and meditating peacefully.
After seeing the content on the Skyscreen, a rare smile appeared on his aged face.
"Congratulations, Shukaku. It seems your destined person has appeared."
Inside the seal space, Shukaku looked at this old man who had lost his freedom for a lifetime because of it, yet was happy for it now. An inexplicable emotion arose in its heart.
"Actually, I quite like you too. You remind me a bit of the Sage of Six Paths old man."
"...Is that so?"
Monk Bunpuku lowered his head, and a teardrop fell on his fingertips pressed together.
"Thank you, Shukaku. That sentence is the greatest praise for me."
...
**Kirigakure**
The Fourth Mizukage Yagura pushed away the pile of documents like a mountain, slumped back in his chair, looking utterly hopeless.
"I really did die, huh? Even Isobu became ownerless."
When Yagura saw that the Tailed Beasts on the Skyscreen all had Jinchūriki, except for the Three-Tails Isobu which came out of the sea by itself, he knew he was dead meat in the future.
In an instant, his grand ambitions of abolishing the Blood Mist policy and revitalizing Kirigakure dissipated. Only the words "want to rot" remained echoing in his mind.
"Maybe I should just cultivate a successor. I think that child Terumī Mei is quite good."
A Kirigakure Anbu beside him couldn't help saying: "Mizukage-sama, you have to pull yourself together. The things on the Skyscreen haven't happened yet. Everything can be changed. Maybe if you govern Kirigakure better, you won't be in trouble in the future!"
Hearing this, Yagura's eyes lit up, and he was filled with energy again!
"Right! You're right! Since we already know the future from the Skyscreen, there's a high probability it won't happen. Everything in the future is unknown; I might not necessarily die!"
Saying this, he carefully picked up the documents he had pushed over, sat back at his desk, and started working like a beast of burden again.
