Obito, who had just become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, seemed extremely confused. It was as if he had partially lost his memory.
At that moment, Naruto, Sasuke, Jiraiya, and the Five Kage rushed forward together, attempting to stop him.
But how could they possibly be Obito's match? Only with the cover of Minato and Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique were they able to barely survive the attacks of the Truth-Seeking Orbs.
Meanwhile—
Seeing that the situation was deteriorating, Hashirama jumped down from the giant Buddha statue and charged toward Obito. However, Madara suddenly appeared and blocked his path.
On one hand, Madara had long been itching for a fight and was eager to battle Hashirama again.
On the other hand, the Truth-Seeking Orbs in Obito's hands were no joke. If Hashirama, in his current state, were struck and dispersed, it would become troublesome.
After all, for the sake of a fake plan, he certainly wouldn't let his old friend risk his life.
As for everyone else… heh, what did they have to do with Madara?
As long as Nagi's girlfriends remained safe, he had nothing to worry about.
Back on the battlefield—
Tobirama warned Naruto and the others that only Senjutsu chakra would be effective against Obito.
Thus, Naruto, Jiraiya, Minato, and Kimimaro became the main attackers.
Kabuto observed the battle from the sidelines while constantly watching the sky in case any Ōtsutsuki suddenly appeared.
Under Naruto's Senjutsu—and his infamous Talk-no-Jutsu—Obito finally recalled Rin and regained his memories. He also gradually gained control over his immense power.
Just then—
A purple space–time portal suddenly appeared behind Sakura. Two female voices came from within.
"I didn't expect it would be this easy to connect this time."
"Yeah. I suddenly sensed Sakura's chakra from that world just now, so the space–time transmission became much more efficient."
Soon, two figures stepped out of the portal.
Sakura looked at them in shock.
"Satsuki! Uh… and you must be Naruko, the one Ino mentioned?"
"Yep! I'm Naruko!"
Naruko replied energetically.
Satsuki glanced around the battlefield.
"You guys are… at war?"
"Yeah. We're trying to stop Obito and Madara from carrying out the Eye of the Moon Plan."
Satsuki didn't seem particularly interested in the war. Instead, she asked:
"Where is Nagi now?"
"Yeah, yeah! Is Nagi here too?"
Sakura shook her head.
"No. According to the intel, even stronger enemies might appear. Nagi is preparing seriously for that battle."
"I see… so Nagi is still in Konoha."
"Mm-hmm."
At this moment, Obito was searching for Samui.
He intended to settle the grudges from their previous encounters.
More importantly, he wanted to use Samui to force Nagi to come out. After being humiliated so many times, he wanted to settle the score properly.
However, Madara had deliberately lured Hashirama's battle toward the area near Samui, Shizuka, and Uino. The overwhelming chakra from their clash conveniently concealed the three women's chakra signatures.
After sensing the area several times, Obito still couldn't find them.
"Tch… hiding, are they?"
Obito then raised his voice and shouted mockingly:
"Shiranui Nagi! I know you're watching this place. Aren't you usually pretty brave? Why are you acting like a coward now—too scared to show your face?"
Naruto, Sasuke, and the Five Kage were instantly furious and were about to refute him—
"Hmph. Looks to me like you're just a cowardly lit—pff!!"
A blur flashed across the battlefield.
Obito was suddenly slapped away and smashed violently into the ground.
Everyone was stunned.
Turning around, they saw a girl with twin ponytails, six whisker-like marks on her face, blonde hair, and blue eyes. Her figure was strikingly attractive.
At the moment, however, her face was filled with fury.
"That's… Naruko?"
Tsunade stared in astonishment.
Naruto looked at Naruko and felt an indescribably bizarre sensation.
Minato, on the other hand, felt his heart melt instantly.
Whose daughter is this? Why does she look so pleasing to the eye?
When Sasuke saw the girl, memories of being violently beaten before resurfaced. Though he wanted revenge, this clearly wasn't the right time.
Besides, sensing Naruko's raging chakra right now—
Sasuke knew better than to provoke her.
Obito slowly crawled out of the crater, still feeling the powerful impact of the attack.
"So painful… I didn't expect anyone could make me feel pain. Is that Senjutsu?"
What he didn't notice was that a figure had quietly appeared behind him.
It was Satsuki.
With a cold voice, she said:
"Hey. What did you just say? Repeat that again."
"When did you—?!"
Obito was startled and immediately tried to retreat.
But Satsuki didn't give him the chance.
With a swift swing of her sword—
She cut Obito cleanly in half.
"AAAAHHHH!!"
The sudden, intense pain made Obito scream.
"Hey, Satsuki, don't kill him yet. That little bit of pain is far too merciful."
Naruko walked over as she spoke.
Satsuki replied coldly,
"Of course. For someone like him, that level of damage shouldn't be fatal."
Sure enough, Obito quickly used the Truth-Seeking Orbs to regenerate half of his body.
Finally calming down, he asked:
"Who are you?"
Naruko answered indifferently:
"We're Nagi's girlfriends. You dared to insult Nagi—are you tired of living?"
Obito was stunned for a moment, but soon sneered.
"Hmph. Perfect. I'll just use you to force Nagi out."
Naruko turned to Satsuki.
"Oh? Big talk. Satsuki, let me handle him first."
"Fine. Just don't play with him to death."
"Got it."
Seeing that the two of them clearly didn't take him seriously, Obito flew into a rage.
Who was he?
He was the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki—the second Sage of Six Paths in this world!
He transformed a Truth-Seeking Orb into a black staff and smashed it toward Naruko.
Naruko remained completely calm.
She clapped her hands together.
"Sage Mode."
Golden markings instantly appeared on her face.
Combined with her overwhelming aura, she looked majestic and imposing.
Just as Obito's staff was about to strike her—
His vision blurred.
The next moment—
A sharp pain exploded across his face.
He was sent flying again, smashing another massive crater into the ground.
Naruko had instantly teleported aside, dodging the attack, then teleported back and punched Obito directly in the face.
Obito struggled to crawl out of the crater.
His mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood.
He spat out several blood-stained teeth.
Staring at the teeth in his hand, Obito looked utterly bewildered.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
Right—
I'm the second Sage of Six Paths.
Wait—
If I'm the second Sage of Six Paths, why am I getting beaten up? My teeth even got knocked out!
But Naruko gave him no time to process.
Boom!
She kicked him away.
Before Obito could even recover from his daze, Naruko appeared again and punched him so hard that blood sprayed from his mouth.
Madara and Hashirama also noticed what was happening on Obito's side.
Both of them stopped fighting at the same time.
Madara frowned slightly.
"Obito… is getting beaten up? And he can't even fight back? Could it be that Six Paths–level power isn't as strong as we imagined?"
Hashirama, however, burst into laughter as he looked at Naruko.
"Hahaha! That little girl is pretty amazing. Looks like your plan is going to fail, Madara."
"Hmph."
Madara didn't actually care much about the Eye of the Moon Plan, but being mocked by Hashirama was something he absolutely couldn't tolerate.
With a snort, he activated Susanoo again and resumed the fierce battle with Hashirama.
