Chapter 777: He Said, Let's Begin.
Eight Sage Stones were launched, two aimed at Sasuke, while the remaining six were divided between Naruto and Obito.
"Divine Technique: Wind Style, Grand Jade Spiral Blade!"
Upon seeing three Sage Stones approaching, Naruto didn't dare to be careless. He immediately gathered a large amount of Sage Mode Chakra and used the Rasengan, swiftly moving into action.
If it were just one Sage Stone, Naruto could handle it, but with three coming simultaneously, he struggled to keep up.
"Their speed makes it difficult to lock on."
Obito had intended to use Distorted Divine Might to help Naruto and Sasuke, but with the Sage Stones moving at high speed, it was challenging for him to absorb them from a distance.
Boom!!
Just as Naruto's Sage Rasengan was about to collide with a Sage Stone, one of the stones suddenly expanded.
After a violent explosion, the Sage Rasengan vanished, and the Sage Stone returned to the back of Six Paths Obito. The remaining two Sage Stones, however, were on a collision course with Naruto, and the black orbs already displayed a pre-explosion glow.
Whoosh! At this critical moment, a lightning-infused kunai arrived by Naruto's side.
"Clone Uncle, I need your help!"
Obito instantly teleported to Naruto's side using the Flying Thunder God Technique and shouted.
His Unlimited ability could only protect himself from harm, and with the Sage Stones about to reach them, even attempting to absorb Naruto into the Shinigami Space to avoid damage was not an option.
"Don't underestimate the Second Hokage."
"Flying Thunder God: Instantaneous Return!"
Senju Tobirama and Obito simultaneously activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, swapping positions. Naruto and Obito were transported to safety, while Senju Tobirama found himself at the center of the Sage Stone explosion.
Boom!!!
A blinding white flash engulfed Senju Tobirama, destroying his body, only for it to rapidly regenerate due to the Impure World Reincarnation.
"Troublesome old man."
Six Paths Obito immediately controlled one of the Sage Stones, transforming it into a trident and leaping forward, ready to send Senju Tobirama away.
The explosion caused by the Sage Stone wasn't a Yin-Yang Style technique, so Senju Tobirama's body could still regenerate.
Senju Tobirama's strength was average, but the ninjutsu he mastered was indeed troublesome.
Since his entire body had been destroyed, Senju Tobirama's recovery was slow. Even when he sensed the approaching Six Paths Obito, he couldn't dodge.
Facing the incoming black trident, Senju Tobirama's expression remained calm, without a trace of panic or fear.
The founding principle of Konoha was to protect the younger generation, and now, as he sacrificed himself to safeguard Uzumaki Naruto and Obito, he was once again upholding the Will of Fire, just like his older brother.
Whoosh! Obito appeared beside Senju Tobirama, raising his hand to block the incoming black trident.
"He can even block a Sage Stone."
No matter how hard he pushed, the black trident could only hover one centimeter away from Obito's body, and Six Paths Obito's face showed surprise.
Even Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan-wielding Susanoo couldn't withstand a direct hit from a Sage Stone, so Obito's ability to block it head-on was astonishing.
"You're shocked, right? This isn't ordinary Unlimited; it's Sage Mode Unlimited!"
Obito said with pride.
Ordinary Unlimited would be easily broken by a Sage Stone, but the one driven by Sage Mode wasn't so easily overcome.
If Kakashi was the numerical freak among the Fusion Ninjas, then Kakashi, possessing the Flying Thunder God Technique, Shinigami Space, and Unlimited, was the mechanism freak among them.
In other words, if it weren't for the need to protect someone, Obito could have simply used Intangible to dodge all attacks.
"With the Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan and Sage Mode, this kid might just become an extraordinary Hokage."
Watching Obito confidently block Six Paths Obito's attack, Senju Tobirama seemed to see the overlapping figures of his older brother and Uchiha Madara.
"So what if you can withstand my attack? Others can't."
Six Paths Obito smirked and pointed at Sasuke and Chou, both lying on the ground in disarray.
Just now, he had seemingly focused his assault on Obito and Naruto, but his true target was the weakest among them, Sasuke.
While the two dealt with the Sage Stones, he effortlessly inflicted severe damage on Sasuke.
"You bastard!"
Naruto, who had just returned running, saw the badly injured Sasuke, and his golden chakra intensified. He formed a Rasengan and was about to confront Six Paths Obito.
"Brother Naruto, don't be impulsive. He's doing this to anger you, making you lose your cool and expose more weaknesses."
Obito stepped forward to stop Naruto.
Six Paths Obito was too powerful, and unless he made a fatal mistake, there was no way Naruto and Obito could defeat him alone.
"That's right, Naruto, you need to stay calm."
Tobirama Senju looked at Madara Uchiha with even more satisfaction.
Madara possessed Naruto's passion and kindness, but he wasn't as impulsive and knew how to think things through.
"Let me handle this. I'll use the Spiral Flash Ultra Wheel Dance Roar Three to draw Madara's attention, and you, Naruto, along with Obito, focus on the main attack."
Minato Namikaze stepped forward and said seriously.
Earlier, he had transferred all his chakra to Naruto, and only now had he recovered enough to fight.
"As expected, no matter which Minato sensei, their naming sense is utterly hopeless."
Hearing the name of the jutsu, Madara couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment.
With that name, he couldn't imagine what kind of jutsu it could be.
"It's clear that you, the Fourth Hokage, really want to use this move, but you've already lost an arm. It's best to be cautious."
Even Tobirama couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
This wasn't the first time Minato had made such a suggestion.
If they weren't on the battlefield, he would have burst out laughing at Minato's words.
Looking at Madara, Minato, Naruto, and Tobirama, who were getting along harmoniously, the Sage of Six Paths Madara clenched his Six Paths Staff.
"You guys are truly carefree. Those guys are ninjas from another world, not just another hidden village or another country, but an entirely different world."
The Sage of Six Paths Madara spoke with a mocking tone.
"Haven't a thousand years of war taught you a lesson? Hidden villages and countries can't even coexist peacefully, and you expect ninjas from another world to have no selfish motives and help you selflessly?"
"All I want to do is use Infinite Tsukuyomi to achieve peace, but they might want to plunder the entire world!"
The Sage of Six Paths Madara intentionally raised his voice, and not only Naruto but many ninjas in the nearby area of the Ninja Alliance heard him.
Some ninjas instinctively looked towards Shizui and his team.
They had to admit that the Sage of Six Paths Madara made sense, and based on past experiences, it was indeed like that.
People would always covet each other for various reasons, and when this perspective was elevated to a global scale, it was hard to imagine that ninjas from another world would have no ulterior motives towards them.
Of course, the ninjas of the Alliance wouldn't attack Shizui and his team just because of the Sage of Six Paths Madara's words. Setting aside other matters, Shizui and his team had fought alongside them for two days and two nights.
"This evil Uchiha brat is not to be underestimated. He's skilled at manipulating people's hearts."
Tobirama Senju wasn't influenced by the Sage of Six Paths Madara's words.
As for the other ninjas, he couldn't say for sure, but the parallel world ninjas he had encountered so far, especially Madara, were not here with any intention of invasion.
"Stop spouting nonsense. You, a warmonger who causes trouble everywhere, will never understand the greatness of Brother Muetsu.
You don't even have the qualifications to call yourself Uchiha Madara. Compared to Madara, you can't even be considered human!"
Hearing the Sage of Six Paths Madara's malicious speculation about Brother Muetsu and Madara, Naruto couldn't hold back any longer and angrily lashed out at the Sage of Six Paths Madara.
After the Nara Clan's Kurenai learned about the situation on the battlefield, she quickly addressed the entire ninja force, clarifying the contributions of the parallel world ninjas to the Ninja Alliance.
On the battlefield of the Desert, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Kakuzu had almost eliminated over 90% of the enemy. Just that one time, they had saved at least thousands of Alliance ninjas from certain death.
Sasori had sealed many powerful ninjas. Without him, sealing those Impure World Reincarnation ninjas would have required the Alliance ninjas to sacrifice their lives.

The Ninja Alliance had their strong ninjas, and the enemy also had many powerful ones. The command center couldn't manage all the battlefields, and there were bound to be some oversights.
Kurenai of the Nara Clan spoke up, and the ninjas who had previously given Shizui and his team strange looks suddenly felt ashamed.
Regardless, the contributions of Madara and his team to the Ninja Alliance were undeniable.
If not for Madara and his team, the Ninja Alliance would have suffered far more casualties.
"He is more deserving of the name Uchiha Madara than I am." The Sage of Six Paths Madara's face was filled with anger, looking as if he was about to burst out laughing.
Having become the second Sage of Six Paths, he no longer cared about the name "Uchiha Madara."
For him, this hopeless world had already lost its value, and before he cast Infinite Tsukuyomi, everything in this world had no meaning, including names, of course.
However, Naruto actually said that he was inferior to Obito, which made Madara unable to accept.
"Hahaha, it's ridiculous, a mere waste grown in a greenhouse, how can he compare with me, the second Six Paths Sage!"
Madara tightly gripped the black trident in his hand, laughing mockingly.
He was the second Six Paths Sage, who was worthy of comparing with him?
"Naruto is right, he does resemble Obito more than you."
Adult Kakashi spoke in a deep voice.
In Adult Kakashi's eyes, Obito was the grown-up version of "Hero Obito."
So even though they had just met, Adult Kakashi could still coordinate seamlessly with Obito.
How could he not be familiar with his hero?
"The three wastes combined are just a mob."
Madara's hand holding the black trident trembled slightly, and after speaking, he shot a Wish-Granting Orb at each of them.
Whoosh! Senju Tobirama and Obito simultaneously used the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Senju Tobirama took Minato and Naruto away from the original spot, while Obito used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Adult Kakashi's side.
His Dual Divine Will couldn't lock onto the Wish-Granting Orbs, let alone Adult Kakashi's single Divine Will.
"Kakashi, you better move further away, just in case you get caught in the attack."
Obito shouted quickly.
Looking at the combined bodies of Obito and Kakashi, Adult Kakashi's expression was subtle, but he still quickly activated his chakra to move away from Obito.
"Kakashi, why don't we try that move? The Blue Flame Rasengan can create cracks, and that move will definitely not be able to defend against the Black Ball."
Obito eagerly suggested.
During their combined training, Obito and Kakashi discovered something—the Blue Flame had an uncanny compatibility with high-intensity Lightning Style.
When combined, they could produce a force where lightning and flames coexisted, and its power was far more terrifying than the Blue Flame alone.
However, this force was difficult to control, and even with their exceptional chakra control abilities, Kakashi and Obito couldn't master it well.
In order to control this force, Kakashi and Obito practiced for a long time.
Even the powerful Blue Flame Rasengan was just a byproduct of developing this force.
The reason was that they found the Rasengan's spiral and this force were well-matched, so they kept using the Rasengan to practice this force, gradually mastering the Blue Flame Rasengan.
"No, that move isn't perfected yet, and it consumes too much chakra. If it fails, it will greatly impact our battle plan."
Kakashi directly vetoed Obito's suggestion.
The development of this force wasn't successful yet, and its power was unstable. If it failed, they would have wasted most of their chakra.
Compared to betting on Obito's exceptional performance, Kakashi preferred to execute a relatively stable plan.
Bang! Several Wish-Granting Orbs flew towards Obito.
Madara seemed to temporarily abandon the other enemies, focusing solely on Obito as his target.
Boom!! The Wish-Granting Orbs slammed into the ground, creating a huge pit.
With no one else around, Obito didn't continue to use his Unlimited to block the Wish-Granting Orbs, but instead, he activated his Intangible Divine Will.
The Unlimited defense of the Wish-Granting Orbs had its limits, and if Madara's offense was too fierce, the Unlimited defense might not be able to withstand it; the chakra gap between them was too vast.
"That's enough, tell Guy we can start!"
Kakashi quickly ran through all the intelligence on Madara in his mind, and already had a very clear battle plan.
However, before officially beginning, he needed to know just how powerful Might Guy would be when opening all Eight Gates. He could only make a reasonable speculation based on the theory of the Eight Gates Formation.
"Finally, it's time for the Red Beast to make its appearance."
Might Guy laughed as he sprinted towards Obito, eager to fight and give Madara a thorough beating.
"Eight Gates Formation, the eighth gate, the Gate of Death, open!"
Might Guy gathered his chakra at his heart and roared, opening the final gate of the Eight Gates Formation that he had never opened before.
