Before Hashirama could continue his persuasion, it was already too late. He was hurled through the air like a missile by his own younger brother.
Seeing a massive Hashirama flying toward him, Madara was not angry but delighted instead. "Let me show you my current power!"
Universal Pull!
Although tricked by Tobirama and pulled by Madara's gravity, Hashirama, deservedly known as the God of Ninja, adjusted his posture mid-air. With a clap of his hands, he instantly entered Sage Mode!
[Sage Art: Gate of the Great God!]
Countless red torii gates rained from the sky, sealing the restless Ten-Tails.
"As I thought, it's still not complete enough!" Madara inwardly mused when seeing the Ten-Tails so easily restrained by Hashirama.
"Madara, where are you looking?" Hashirama roared and engaged Madara in battle!
While the two were fighting, Tobirama used Hashirama as a coordinate and jumped to their vicinity using the Flying Thunder God Technique, seizing the opportunity to retrieve Naruto, whose body had been drained.
Although Madara noticed Tobirama's movement, with the Nine-Tails already extracted and the mighty presence of Hashirama right in front of him, he simply allowed Tobirama to take Naruto back.
On the other side, Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport beside Obito with A, catching Obito off guard.
"Why can you use the Flying Thunder God Technique on me?" Obito spoke, then suddenly realized, "Could it be from when we were kids? Did you mark me back then?"
Seeing the completely changed Obito, Minato felt a deep sorrow in his heart. "That's right, the Flying Thunder God Technique mark never disappears!"
A barely restrained his impulse to punch Obito's head and took the opportunity during their clash to retrieve Killer B from the Ten-Tails.
Seeing Minato's operation had also succeeded, Tobirama dropped his older brother and instantly appeared beside Minato, taking the Raikage away from the battlefield.
As soon as they hit the ground, A bellowed, "Hokage, heal them now!"
In fact, he didn't even need to remind him.
Tsunade had never once turned her heart away from Naruto. Seeing both Naruto and Killer B being retrieved, she immediately rushed to the middle of the two and began healing them simultaneously.
Yet, even with her Medical Ninjutsu, she could only slightly delay the fading of their lives!
"Damn it, they're going to die if this continues..." Tsunade whispered, her voice cracking with worry.
Hiruzen's expression darkened as he demanded, "Minato, can you extract the chakra sealed inside your body?"
Minato immediately understood what the Third intended. The chakra of the Nine-Tails' half was still sealed inside him!
If this half of the Nine-Tails could be transferred into Naruto's body, then Naruto would probably not die!
Thinking thus, Minato hastily responded, "Yes, I'll do it right away!"
However, Obito's lips curled up slightly. "Sensei Minato, we rare teacher and student meeting this once, are you leaving already? Isn't that too cold?"
As his words fell, the black rods hovering around them in a dormant form suddenly expanded in size!
Even with Minato's reaction speed, after dodging several black rods, the remaining rods pierced through his body!
"I can't focus chakra anymore!" Minato's expression changed slightly as he sensed his internal condition.
For an Impure World Reincarnation body, the damage caused by the black rods themselves was not important—the additional effects were the real threat!
Obito gripped the Black Rod and lifted Minato into the air. "Perfect! The final piece is about to fall into place!"
"There's no choice then!" Seeing this, Tsunade quickly turned to the Second Hokage. "Great-Grandfather, please send me and them to the Third Battlefield!"
"The Third Battlefield!" Tobirama instantly understood her meaning. "You're going to seek help from that adult?"
Tsunade nodded. "I can't think of anyone else who could possibly save them now!"
Tobirama took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "Please hold off the enemies until we return!"
With that, he took Tsunade, Naruto, and B away in a flash.
Nearby, Sasuke's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water. "That guy Naruto can only be defeated by me! Can't you damn insects just stay hidden in your sewers?"
Susanoo!
After transplanting Itachi's eyes, he could already use the third stage Susanoo, fully armored and second only to the Perfect Form!
A hundred-meter-tall, muscular giant suddenly appeared on the battlefield, drawing even Madara's attention. "So he's Sasuke Uchiha, the last of the Uchiha clan? These eyes truly resemble Izuna's. They give me the illusion of returning to the Warring States era!"
Seeing a nostalgic expression on Madara's face, Hashirama took the opportunity to persuade him. "Madara, don't make the mistake again!"
"Mistake?" Madara sneered. "I have already come to grasp the absolute truth. Even if there really is a mistake, it's this world that's wrong, not me!"
As he spoke, an incredibly powerful repelling force suddenly erupted from Madara's body, sending Hashirama flying away.
"Trouble! That young Uchiha..."
While Hashirama was still worrying about Madara and Obito surrounding Sasuke, he saw Madara leap into the air, transforming into his Perfect Susanoo, and swinging his great sword toward him.
"Hashirama, let's continue our battle from the Valley of the End!"
"So you felt the top of that statue was too tight for our last battle and wanted a better fight?" Hashirama chuckled slightly, then grew serious. "Well then, I'm happy to oblige! Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
Meanwhile, Sasuke controlled his giant, drew back its bow, and fired an arrow straight at Obito.
The Preta Path, constructed from Yugito's remains, stood in front of Obito, arms spread wide, absorbing the chakra-infused arrow.
Han combined the Monstrous Strength of the Asura Path with the explosive force of Boil Release, leaping up to deliver a devastating blow to the Susanoo armor, causing the mighty warrior to stagger back several steps!
But as the Susanoo staggered backward, suddenly black flames ignited on Han's body!
"Even in this situation, he still managed to counter with Amaterasu! That's the Sasuke Uchiha I know!" Roshi echoed Obito's exclamation, as he spat out over a hundred magma spheres from his mouth. "Lava Release: Scorching Flow Fist!"
Sasuke was about to dodge when he suddenly found his body paralyzed and unable to move!
A small figure flew overhead, scattering countless scale-like dust—it was clearly the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki's paralyzing powder!
Not only that, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki also took the opportunity to spit out a wave of highly corrosive liquid.
The magma spheres and acid sprayed onto the giant's body, melting and corroding the chakra armor surrounding it!
Then, the Fourth Mizukage summoned a weakened Susanoo clone using the Water Mirror Jutsu!
Damn it! Although these Jinchuriki's power is much weaker than when they were alive, having been granted Hagoromo's traits has made them even more troublesome than before!
Sasuke frowned, staring at Obito guarded by six shinobi while he tried to extract the Nine-Tails. "We must stop him, or remove the Black Rods on the Fourth!"
Seeing Sasuke stuck, the others wanted to help, but the Four Controlled Kages hadn't been sealed yet.
Compared to before, they had gained the Raikage, but lost four major fighters: Naruto, Sasuke, B, and Minato.
With this shift in balance, just keeping things from falling apart was already a struggle, let alone spare forces to deal with Obito.
For now, all the fighters could do was pray that reinforcements would arrive soon!
