A torrential storm of attacks descended upon Naruto and Obito's position, threatening to obliterate them entirely.
Obito: "No attack exists that Kamui cannot absorb. I'll use my Susano'o in conjunction with Kamui to carve a path forward. Naruto, stay close behind me!"
Naruto: "Your Susano'o is too slow. Let me lighten the load for you!"
Earth Release: Super Lightweight Boulder Technique!
Obito: "My Susano'o feels as light as a feather now!"
Naruto: "But its defensive strength will be greatly compromised. Against such intense attacks, it might as well be a flying plastic bag—fragile and easily torn apart. Be extra careful!"
Obito: "It doesn't matter. As long as we can win!"
Whoosh!
Obito's Susano'o charged forward, leading the way. His eyes locked onto the chaotic barrage ahead.
Kamui!
Shhhk! Shhhk! Shhhk!
The powerful Kamui vortex, aligned with Obito's shifting gaze, layered like a stack of spinning blades. It cut through the chaotic storm of attacks, forging a path forward.
Lightning streaked through the air as Naruto, clad in his Kurama Sage Mode: Thunder Roar, followed closely behind, dashing through the path carved by Kamui.
The omnipresent wooden hands of the Guanyin's Thousand Palms twisted and stretched, chasing the fleeting streak of lightning. Yet, no matter how they reached, they couldn't catch up.
Because Naruto was too fast.
The attacks, dynamic and ever-shifting, left only fleeting gaps in their formation. It was a race against time, a dance on the edge of a knife.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Sparks flew and lightning flashed as Naruto closed in on the core of the battlefield.
Black Zetsu noticed Naruto's intent and manipulated the countless wooden arms to converge toward the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Yet, he dared not bring them too close, fearing the collateral damage of a Tailed Beast Bomb.
Unfazed by Black Zetsu's countermeasures, Obito pressed forward, his eyes focused ahead. The swirling Kamui vortex dragged everything in its path—wooden arms and even Tailed Beast Bombs—into its depths.
But just as they were about to break through, the Kamui vortex began to slow.
Obito: "Black Zetsu! He's using reverse Kamui to interfere with me!"
Atop the Demonic Statue, Black Zetsu's eyes gleamed with malice as he focused on the battlefield below. "I have the same eyes as you, Obito. Do you really think I'd let you charge through so easily? Where would that leave my pride?"
As Obito's advance stalled, the relentless wooden hands closed in from all directions. In such a confined space, this encirclement was lethal.
Naruto made a decisive call: "Obito, absorb me!"
Obito, startled, hesitated for a moment. This act required absolute trust.
In the split second of hesitation, Obito glanced back and locked eyes with Naruto.
Whoosh! The powerful Kamui vortex engulfed Naruto, along with his Kurama Sage Mode cloak, into the dimensional space.
Obito's Susano'o then formed a pitch-black magatama in its hand, locking onto a small gap in the chaotic barrage—a fleeting shadow of wood visible through the opening. With precision, he hurled the magatama forward.
Divine Artifact: Yata Kamui Magatama—a projectile imbued with piercing properties that cannot be intercepted before reaching its target.
Obito: "Now it's your turn to shine, Naruto."
With a faint smile, Obito deactivated his Susano'o and entered his intangibility mode.
BOOM!
The explosion lit up the battlefield, consuming everything in its wake. Yet, Obito remained unharmed, passing through the chaos like a phantom.
Whoosh!
The Yata Kamui Magatama pierced through the defenses, striking a wooden arm at the periphery. In an instant, the vortex reversed its spin.
Kamui's clockwise rotation absorbs; counterclockwise releases.
The Yata Kamui Magatama wasn't just a tool of absorption—it was also a point of release. The targeted wooden arm became a springboard for the vortex's unleashed power.
From within the reversed vortex, Naruto Uzumaki, in his Kurama Sage Mode: Thunder Roar, emerged with a Tailed Beast Bomb clenched in Kurama's jaws. He descended with unstoppable force, landing directly in front of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Naruto smirked dangerously. "As promised, here I am!"
At this point, Black Zetsu finally panicked.
Seated atop the lotus platform, the Demonic Statue hastily formed a Tailed Beast Bomb in its mouth, aiming it at Naruto.
Crack!
But before it could fire, Naruto's Kurama Sage Mode charged forward. The Tailed Beast Bomb in Kurama's jaws collided with the statue's attack, forcing it back into its mouth.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Not stopping there, Kurama's claws pried open the statue's jaws, and Naruto unleashed several more Tailed Beast Bombs in rapid succession. Estimating the explosion's timing, he retreated at full speed.
BOOOOOM!
The immense internal pressure caused the Demonic Statue to swell like a grotesque balloon—a fitting name for its new form: the Demonic Statue Sphere.
Simultaneously, the True Several Thousand Hands statue, tethered to the Demonic Statue by its back, was violently ejected from the lotus platform. It landed awkwardly on the ground, its seated pose now a comical sprawl.
For several seconds, a beam of light shot skyward from the Demonic Statue's mouth, scattering the clouds above the Undying River. Only then did the overwhelming pressure begin to dissipate.
With the True Several Thousand Hands incapacitated and the Demonic Statue critically damaged, the waves of wooden hands and their controlled Tailed Beast Bombs vanished entirely.
The technique Infinite Mahamaya had been utterly neutralized.
Black Zetsu, veins bulging in his eyes, roared in fury: "You damned brat! You've truly enraged me!!!"
CRACKLE!
A fully-formed Susano'o, darker than the void, enveloped the Demonic Statue. Black Zetsu, now fused with the statue, unleashed the ultimate technique once used by Madara and Obito together: Outer Path: Demonic Statue Tribulation.
He prepared to make his final stand.
But Naruto was not about to let him succeed.
Naruto: "Kurama, let's use our ultimate move!"
Kurama: "Hmph!"
Naruto's Kurama Sage Mode: Thunder Roar retreated, creating distance from the Demonic Statue. Forming hand seals, he tilted his head skyward.
Sage Art: Thunder Roar Inferno!
FWOOSH!
A pillar of fire pierced the heavens, igniting the night sky above the Undying River.
As the flames subsided, an unprecedentedly powerful natural thunderstorm began to gather, the air swirling with overwhelming energy.
CRACK!
In Naruto's hands, the divine artifact Great Sun Sakui Blade began to take shape. The sword, imbued with golden-purple lightning, crackled with unrestrained power.
ZAP! ZAP!
Using the blade as a lightning rod, Naruto drew the storm's energy into the sword. The Great Sun Sakui Blade transformed into a titanic lightning sword that reached toward the heavens.
Black Zetsu, his eyes wide with terror, screamed: "Impossible!"
CRACK! CRACK!
The Demonic Statue's hands formed two Ten Directions Divine Void Blades, crossing them defensively.
Black Zetsu: "These swords, imbued with Kamui's power, can block anything!"
He launched a preemptive strike.
ZAP! ZAP!
But before his attack could land, the lightning-formed arms of Kurama extended from Naruto's Sage Mode, seizing the Demonic Statue's wrists.
Black Zetsu: "What?!"
Naruto declared with unshakable resolve: "Black Zetsu, you may be a millennium-old schemer, but when it comes to combat, you're nothing but an amateur!"
With that, the Great Sun Sakui Blade descended, splitting the heavens.
Sage Art: Thunder Roar Kurama Ultimate Technique: Divine Lightning Sword Slash!
