Nagi nodded.
"That's right. When the time comes, enemies even more troublesome than Kaguya will arrive."
"Oh? Stronger than Princess Kaguya?"
Madara's interest was immediately piqued.
If he became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, there would hardly be anyone left who could oppose him.
Well—except perhaps the Hyuga girl standing before him. Madara still couldn't gauge the depth of her strength.
As for Nagi…
Madara had the strange feeling that the two of them didn't even exist on the same level.
"But if I continue the plan exactly as before, the Allied Shinobi Forces will suffer enormous casualties."
Madara spoke calmly.
Nagi replied without changing his expression:
"Necessary sacrifices are part of the plan."
"And to ensure everything proceeds smoothly, I hope that before you become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, you will kill the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, Uzumaki Naruto, and the surviving Uchiha—Uchiha Sasuke."
Madara frowned.
"Oh? So you want me to turn the act into reality?"
"But I'll say this first—if the Ten-Tails goes berserk, I won't be able to control it."
"That's fine."
"Someone will deal with the Ten-Tails."
"You only need to send me a signal once you become its Jinchūriki."
Nagi handed him a Flying Thunder God kunai.
Madara stared at him for a moment.
"Ruthless. Truly worthy of being Tobirama's disciple."
Then Madara formed the reverse hand seals of the Impure World Reincarnation, severing the Edo Tensei contract controlled by Black Zetsu.
Immediately afterward—
Nagi teleported him away with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Meanwhile, Izuna went to check on the surviving Uchiha children.
Which meant that now—
Only Hinata and Nagi remained in the Shiranui residence.
But Hinata was currently struggling with herself.
Why does an enemy have to appear at a time like this?!
Damn it… doesn't that mean I can't do anything with Nagi?
Hinata had already found the "computer components" that Satsuki had placed in the storage cabinet.
And now they were alone—
A man and a woman together.
It would be very easy for things to… escalate.
Damn it!!!
Naruko and Satsuki aren't here!
Maybe I could just… sneak a little taste…
No! I can't interfere with Nagi's important plans!
Seeing Hinata's increasingly twisted expression, Nagi looked confused.
"Uh… Hinata?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
Hinata coughed awkwardly.
"I was just thinking about whether I should… push down—ahem—go take a look at Hanabi from this world."
"I see…"
Nagi suddenly thought of something.
"Hinata."
"If this war ends smoothly… I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Viewing Room Reactions
Ōnoki: "What?! Nagi just let Madara go?!"
Mū: "It seems Nagi intends to use Six Paths Madara as bait to lure out the Ōtsutsuki from beyond the heavens."
Mei Terumi: "Even so… Madara is already incredibly difficult for us to deal with."
Tsunade: "Letting Madara go is one thing—but Nagi, you even asked him to kill Naruto and Sasuke?!"
Jiraiya: "Tsunade, calm down. Nagi must have his reasons."
Kakashi Hatake: "Exactly, Lady Tsunade. Don't forget—Naruto and Sasuke only met the Sage of Six Paths when they were on the brink of death. That's when they awakened their Six Paths powers."
Shikaku Nara: "It seems Nagi intends to recreate that moment."
"If the Sage of Six Paths grants them power again, we'll gain two additional Six Paths-level fighters."
"That would greatly increase our chances against the Ōtsutsuki."
Kushina Uzumaki: "Even so… Naruto and Sasuke would be on the verge of death!"
Tobirama Senju: "If they actually die, Nagi can revive them immediately."
Kushina Uzumaki: "..."
Mikoto Uchiha: "..."
The Screen Continues…
Nagi closed his eyes and began meditating.
He was preparing himself for the upcoming battle.
Hinata quietly sat nearby, watching him.
Meanwhile, at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning—
Three enormous figures were fighting against seven others.
The three were:
Gyūki, the Eight-TailsNaruto, fully transformed into the Nine-Tails, reaching nearly 70 meters tallSasuke, controlling a 100-meter Perfect Susanoo
After receiving guidance from Nagi and the alternate-world Kurama, the Nine-Tails had finally acknowledged Naruto.
They had successfully achieved complete Tailed Beast transformation.
This time, however, they did not progress through the Four-Tails stage.
Instead, Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan discovered the chakra receivers controlling the Tailed Beasts.
And after experiencing the warmth of maternal love, Sasuke awakened his Yin Release chakra and finally achieved Perfect Susanoo.
"Tailed Beast Bomb!" ×2
Kurama and Gyūki each condensed a massive Tailed Beast Bomb.
"Susanoo: Piercing Shot!"
Sasuke drew the Susanoo bow, Ama-no-Makagoyumi, to its limit and released a powerful arrow.
On the other side—
Obito controlled six Tailed Beasts and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, combining their power to form an enormous Super Tailed Beast Bomb.
The two massive attacks collided.
For a moment, they remained in stalemate.
Then—
Sasuke's arrow arrived.
The arrow pierced straight through the Super Tailed Beast Bomb, carrying the Nine-Tails' and Eight-Tails' attacks with it.
Obito's expression changed drastically.
He immediately forced the six Tailed Beasts to stand in front as shields.
But he had greatly underestimated the power of the attack.
BOOM!
The arrow struck the Tailed Beasts, triggering a violent purple explosion.
The Nine-Tails' and Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Bombs detonated simultaneously.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The explosions blasted the six Tailed Beasts away, leaving them heavily injured.
Obito and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path were thrown back over a hundred meters by the shockwave.
Seizing the opportunity—
Naruto controlled Kurama's chakra arms, extending six massive claws to grab the chakra receivers embedded in the Tailed Beasts.
But in doing so, he was pulled into a deep spiritual plane.
Meanwhile—
Sasuke seized the moment.
His Perfect Susanoo, wielding twin swords, charged toward Obito.
"Damn it… maybe I should retreat first."
Obito knew the Demonic Statue alone couldn't withstand Perfect Susanoo.
What the hell happened to Itachi's little brother?
I ignored him for a few years and now he can already use Perfect Susanoo?!
At that critical moment—
A blue chakra blade suddenly blocked Sasuke's attack.
"Hm?"
Everyone looked up in shock.
Before them stood a blue Perfect Susanoo, even taller than Sasuke's.
Seeing the newcomer, Obito didn't look happy at all.
"Tch… Uchiha Madara."
Earlier he had heard Madara was revived through Edo Tensei.
Then came news that Madara was attacked by a Hyuga girl and vanished.
And now—
He had appeared here.
Madara examined Sasuke's purple Susanoo with interest.
"I didn't expect the Uchiha's younger generation to produce someone so outstanding."
"Boy, state your name."
Sasuke's confidence swelled again.
"Uchiha Sasuke."
"You must be Uchiha Madara."
"Good timing—I wanted to see the strength of a relic of the old era."
Madara narrowed his eyes.
"So you're Sasuke."
"That saves me the trouble of looking for you."
"And with such arrogance…"
"As your senior, allow me to teach you a lesson personally."
"Bring it on!"
The purple and blue Perfect Susanoo giants instantly clashed.
At the same time—
Naruto emerged from the spiritual plane, having obtained a portion of chakra from the six Tailed Beasts.
Meanwhile, Obito fed the sealed Gold and Silver Brothers to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
