—Desert Rebellion!
Immeasurable sand rose into the sky with Indra's outstretched arms!
"Then I won't hold back either!"
Crack!Madara directly stabbed a kunai into his own heart, using Limbo death substitution to enter an invincible state!
Rustle rustle rustle...!
Eyes formed from sand condensed behind Madara, releasing white vortexes that directly teleported him in front of Indra!
Banbutsu Sōzō could teleport targets to locations marked with ocular power!
Previously, the tens of thousands of Sand True EyesNaruto had copied turned back into sand and mixed into the desert, essentially marking the entire desert!
So Madara could be teleported at will to anywhere sand existed!
Indra was shocked: "Teleportation? His shadows made no movement, yet... he could appear directly in front of me?"
—Sage Art: Dark Thunder Turtle Dove!
Crackle! The lightning field erupting from Indra's body once again repelled Madara!
In the distance, Obito understood: "I see, so you tampered with the sand..."
Naruto said: "That's right, but he can use Amenominaka to change spaces at any time. Then my tampering would be wasted, so we must destroy the eye on his forehead used to activate Amenominaka before he notices the trick..."
Obito said: "Forgive my bluntness, but he inherited Kaguya's divine tree immortal power. I'm afraid that eye can regenerate too..."
Sasuke interjected: "Not only that, but against such an enemy, the same method won't work twice. So after destroying his eye, how do you plan to defeat him? Indra is well-versed in Yin and Yang powers—sealing techniques won't work on him."
Naruto nodded approvingly: "Sasuke, you've hit the key point. So we must defeat Indra before his eye regenerates. I've already found a way to defeat him..."
Obito, Sasuke, and Black Zetsu looked over: "What method?"
Naruto explained: "Indra used Mokka Shiru to absorb the earth's life force and became the 'Ten-Tails.' Kaguya used her own 'more powerful' Ten-Tails to absorb Indra's Ten-Tails, thus gaining power stronger than before after her resurrection."
"Through battle, Kaguya became exhausted in body and mind. Indra's Ten-Tails turned the tables, and thus the current Indra was born."
"They mutually suppress yet mutually achieve each other. Understanding this makes it easy to target them. We'll 'remove the firewood from under the pot'—separate Kaguya's Ten-Tails to fundamentally weaken Indra!"
Sasuke asked: "Can't we directly strip away Indra's Ten-Tails?"
Naruto shook his head: "Impossible. Kaguya's Ten-Tails is an integration of the nine Tailed Beasts' chakra. Only by resonating with the nine Tailed Beasts within my body can we extract it. But Indra's Ten-Tails is simply the pure Ten-Tails—we have no way to approach it."
Sasuke realized: "I see..."
Obito thought for a moment and found the flaw: "There's a drawback. The Ten-Tails is a major source of Kaguya's power. If her Ten-Tails is extracted, only her power as the 'Rabbit Goddess' remains, making it even harder to suppress Indra's consciousness. Your plan to revive Kaguya at all costs and recruit her would fail. You must have deeper thoughts, Naruto..."
Naruto said gravely: "Actually... my real idea is to have you use Danmetsu Senti to reshape causality, converting Indra's Ten-Tails into Kaguya's own Ten-Tails!"
Obito's gaze sharpened: "Then what about Kaguya's original Ten-Tails?"
Naruto replied: "Completely sever the connection and return it to an ownerless state..."
He added: "Actually, I've thought about this a lot. After the war, I want to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki. If the Ten-Tails maintains a symbiotic relationship with Kaguya, implementation would be very troublesome."
Obito understood: "I see, you've considered it to this extent. The karmic manipulation involved is extremely vast. I don't know if my chakra can handle it..."
Naruto said: "I can lend you my chakra—no upper limit!"
"Then there's no problem." Obito considered carefully: "But there's still one issue—Indra's consciousness. Even if I change the dependency relationship between the two Ten-Tails, I can't eliminate Indra's consciousness. He and his chakra will still remain in Kaguya's body, with constant risk of backlash..."
Naruto frowned: "Honestly, this is the one point I haven't found a feasible solution for."
"I can do it!"
At these words, Naruto, Obito, and Sasuke all looked at Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu made a shocking statement: "I have 'mental adhesion' abilities. I can bind consciousness and chakra, then forcibly separate them from the body..."
Naruto was surprised: "You were hiding this ability too?"
Black Zetsu said darkly: "You're not the only one who keeps tricks up their sleeve..."
This conversation, though seemingly long, actually took place over just ten-odd seconds.
Swoosh!
Through Banbutsu Sōzō activated by the Sand True Eyes, Madara appeared before Indra again!
"This guy..."
Indra had already sensed something wrong. This time, he forcibly grabbed Madara's arm as Yomotsu Hirasaka opened beside him, about to throw Madara in!
Whoosh!
But Banbutsu Sōzō's white vortex was one step faster, absorbing Madara and teleporting him to safety on the ground!
Indra looked at the sand eye before him!
"I see, you hid such an eye..."
He grasped the sand eye with his hand and directly used Yin-Yang Release to erase it, completely turning it into lifeless sand!
Rustle rustle rustle...!
But suddenly, countless sand eyes condensed from the surrounding sand, all releasing Banbutsu Sōzō together!
"What!?"
The coordination of those eyes made the teleportation speed incredibly fast!
When Indra realized something was wrong, he had already been teleported into the encirclement of Naruto, Obito, Sasuke, and Black Zetsu!
Swoosh! Directly ahead, Naruto gripped a Flying Thunder God kunai, stabbing straight at the eye on Indra's forehead!
"Don't even think about succeeding!!!"
Thud! Indra's eyes flashed fiercely as he kicked Naruto away!
The Rinne Sharingan on his forehead widened: "I won't let you continue your reckless behavior..."
Just as Amenominaka was about to activate!
Naruto, gripping the Flying Thunder God kunai while flying backward, suddenly focused his left eye.
—Ōmononushi!
Swoosh!
A copied Flying Thunder God kunai was directly deployed in front of Indra!
Whoosh... crack!Naruto emerged from that kunai, caught it, and fiercely stabbed it into the eye on Indra's forehead!
The entire process flowed seamlessly!
Naruto's mouth curved upward: "Got it..."
Crack!
Indra suddenly grabbed Naruto's throat, saying coldly: "You think you're quite amusing, don't you!!!"
From the left flank, Sasuke's left eye suddenly focused.
—Amenotejikara!
What Indra held was suddenly replaced with Obito!
Obito grabbed Indra's wrist in return!
"Sorry, but this time you really can't escape..."
—Yomotsuru: Time Stop!
Swoosh!
A gray 'small-scale' time-stop zone covered the surroundings!
Obito shouted: "Naruto, now!!"
Bang bang bang bang bang bang...!
Naruto and his eight shadow clones cast techniques together, borrowing the power of the nine Tailed Beasts to condense Super Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken, firing them all at once!
Swoosh!
Obito canceled the time stop and entered intangibility mode!!
Boom boom boom boom boom boom...!!
Explosive light waves engulfed Indra!!
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh...!"
As the shadow clones disappeared, Naruto's gaze burned intensely: "Come out... Tailed Beasts!!"
