Boom!
The sudden explosion startled the Allied Forces, and the surge of heat made it feel like they were engulfed in flames!
But when the Allied Forces opened their eyes, they realized they hadn't been scorched. Amidst the Allied Forces, a thick sphere of sand had trapped the Second Mizukage's clone inside!
Relieved, the people began cheering loudly.
"Thank goodness Lord Gaara was here!"
"Lord Kazekage protected us!"
Gaara, however, wore a serious expression. "Watch out, it's about to begin!"
The trapped clone seeped out through the gaps in the sand, reforming into the shape of the tiny old man.
Moreover, the Tsuchikage, the Hokage, and Rasa also sprang into action.
The Gold Dust controlled by Rasa surged like a waterfall, unleashing Dust Release on the Allied Forces. Meanwhile, the Third Raikage activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, charging through the crowd like a wild ox!
"This is the power of the Predecessor Kage? Wow, incredible!"
"Coordinate with the Wind Shadow, Earth Shadow, and Fire Shadow to counterattack!"
"Focus on attacking the Third Raikage first!"
Compared to the airborne evasions of the Second Mizukage, the hidden Rasa behind his Gold Dust, and Gengetsu, who used the Summoned Beast "Giant Clam" to create an illusory mirage to hide his true form, the Allied Forces naturally preferred attacking the straightforward Third Raikage.
Yet even when over a hundred ninja simultaneously unleashed their Ninjutsu on the Third Raikage, not even his outer skin was pierced!
"No wonder he's known as the 'Strongest Shield,' the Third Raikage!"
"Wind counters Lightning—send in the Wind Release specialists!"
Under Temari's command, all Wind Release specialists capable of long-range attacks stepped forward.
[Wind Release Unit, use Wind Release: Gale Net!]
The wind howled, forming into a whirlwind of blades that felt sharp even from hundreds of meters away.
Yet the Third Raikage charged straight through it, tearing the storm apart!
Seeing this, everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Didn't we just say Wind counters Lightning?"
"No matter how you look at it, that defense is just ridiculous!"
"The Raikage once subdued the Eight-Tails with his bare hands!"
"We need stronger Wind Release specialists!"
"Leave it to me!" Naruto eagerly stepped forward.
"Me too!" Hiruzen followed with a cheerful grin. "I'm quite skilled in Wind Release myself!"
The Third Raikage charged over. "Come on then—try to pierce my shield with your spears!"
As the battle erupted, two individuals with dark eye rings faced off.
"Just let me test whether you truly qualify as the Kazekage today!" Rasa declared, his surrounding Gold Dust suddenly becoming violent.
"Without the blessing of the previous Kazekage, it indeed remains an incomplete ritual! Witness, Father—I will prove my strength!" Gaara waved his hand, and the battlefield's sand erupted wildly!
Elsewhere, Sasuke confronted the Second Mizukage.
"With these eyes, your basic illusions can't hide from me," Sasuke calmly stated, walking straight toward Gengetsu Hozuki's hidden position.
"Such a familiar tone of arrogance—you must truly be an Uchiha after all?"
"Realizing he could no longer remain hidden, Gengetsu Hozuki stepped forward defiantly.
'"Those without strength call it arrogance; those with strength call it confidence!' Sasuke raised his right hand and hurled a Chidori Sharp Spear toward Gengetsu Hozuki.
"That punk is really annoying!' The Second Mizukage sighed and advanced to meet him head-on.
The final battlefield.
The Second Mizukage and Second Tsuchikage exchanged devastating Dust Release blasts.
"Onoki, you're still serving as Tsuchikage in your old age. It seems Iwagakure hasn't developed much over these years! Are you still suffering from a lack of talent, just like before?" Ao released another wave of Dust Release while asking.
"We are Iwagakure who have comprehended the will of stone. Showing off our sharp edges has never been our characteristic. Our strength lies in our resilience and tenacity. Even if fate isn't on our side, we will firmly survive!" Onoki retorted with an unquestionable tone.
"It's truly admirable that you can still hold such a belief now!" Ao expressed surprise.
"I just rediscovered my true self through another world's path!" Onoki replied with a subtle reference while maneuvering around the seal.
As the battle reached its peak, a tiny particle floating in midair, no bigger than a speck of dust, suddenly opened its eyes and aimed its Mangekyo Sharingan at Naruto.
"Did you really think I'd wait until their battle climaxes or ends before making my move? I'm sorry, but an optimal timing that can be anticipated doesn't truly qualify as optimal!"
Stunned, Naruto muttered in front of the Third Raikage, "So strong! Even [Wind Release: Rasenshuriken] can't break through Third Raikage's defense. What should I do?"
Suddenly, space above Naruto's head rippled, and a large hand extended out, grabbing him by the back of the neck with lightning speed.
"Gotcha, Fox!"
Almost instantly upon capturing Naruto, Madara summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and began extracting the tailed beasts!
The sudden development captured everyone's attention, all of them unable to believe what they were witnessing.
"Naruto! Madara Uchiha!"
"What is this monster?"
Just as their attention was drawn to Madara, a single dust particle behind B's back instantly magnified countless times. The Six Paths clone, created from the reincarnated body through the Impure World Reincarnation, also appeared, launching attacks on B from seven directions simultaneously!
...
The Headquarters monitoring all major battlefields suddenly emitted urgent alarm sounds.
"There are eight abnormally massive chakra signatures suddenly appearing at the Fourth Great Ninja War battlefield. Their targets are the two jinchuriki!"
"Trouble! The life signs of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails jinchuriki are rapidly weakening!"
Upon hearing this report, everyone at Headquarters turned deathly pale.
"Why was there no early warning? How did the enemy accomplish this?" Tobirama Senju asked in confusion.
When hearing about the weakening life signs, A's body swayed slightly before he desperately shouted, "Quickly take me to that battlefield. Right now!"
Hashirama patted Tobirama's shoulder, "No time for confusion. Use [Flying Thunder God Technique] to take us there now!"
"Don't forget me!" Tsunade added nervously, "Take me too!"
"I understand!" Tobirama knew the urgency of time and without hesitation immediately teleported everyone to Minato's location.
Back at the battlefield.
B was also captured by Obito, and the extraction of the tailed beast began.
The Allied Forces regained their senses and threw everything they had at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
However, most attacks did nothing to the statue at all, and any slightly threatening ninjutsu was absorbed by Madara and Obito through the power of their Rinnegan.
Seeing this, Hashirama pointed at Madara and called out, "Madara, stop this now!"
When Madara saw Hashirama arrive, fire lit in his eyes. "It's too late, Hashirama. Experience the fear and anger of these Bijuu! They barely struggle at all when they realize their enemy is you!"
"Now, the Ten-Tails shall emerge!"
