The moment Naruto said that—
Both Uchiha Madara and Obito's expressions changed drastically.
Obito didn't need much explanation.
Everything he believed about Infinite Tsukuyomi came from Madara.
And because it was Madara—
He had believed it completely.
Even when doubts occasionally surfaced over the years, Obito had gone to the Uchiha ancestral shrine himself after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan.
There, he saw the stone tablet.
The message about Infinite Tsukuyomi was exactly the same as what Madara had told him.
With both sources confirming each other—
His belief became absolute.
That belief was what drove him forward.
It allowed him to act without hesitation—
Even to the point of killing his own teacher and destroying everything.
---
Madara was no different.
Although he hadn't gone through as much as Obito—
His personality was even more stubborn.
Once he read the tablet, he never doubted it again.
To him—
Infinite Tsukuyomi was the only true path to peace.
After decades of hiding, planning, and obsession—
That belief had become unshakable.
---
"It's impossible."
Madara's expression darkened.
"The Sage of Six Paths is the ancestor of the Uchiha clan."
"The stone tablet he left behind cannot be fake."
"And its contents cannot be altered."
"Unless…"
"The Sage himself returned to life."
His tone was firm.
Even someone as powerful as him couldn't modify the tablet.
So how could anyone else?
---
Naruto shook his head slowly.
"Pathetic…"
"Truly pathetic."
He looked at Madara with pity.
"The great Uchiha Madara…"
"Spent his entire life chasing a lie carved into a stone."
"You couldn't even rest in peace after death."
"You're still chasing a dream that doesn't exist."
---
Madara's eyes turned cold.
"Your expression… is very irritating."
Naruto smiled faintly.
"Your expression annoys me too."
"So…"
"Do you want to dance?"
---
Madara burst into laughter.
"Brat…"
"You've got guts."
"But in front of me…"
"Whether you can dance depends on whether you're qualified."
---
His aura exploded outward.
The pressure was suffocating.
Even the Kage-level ninja felt their hearts tremble.
Ordinary ninja couldn't even stand steadily.
Only three people remained calm—
Hashirama.
Nagato.
And Naruto.
---
"Madara, calm down."
Hashirama frowned.
"These youngsters can't handle your pressure."
Madara snorted.
"Hmph. Why should I care?"
Still—
He restrained his aura slightly.
---
Naruto glanced at him coldly.
"I originally wanted to clear up the truth for you."
"So you wouldn't die chasing a lie."
"But since you don't appreciate it…"
"Then sit quietly and watch."
"Don't interfere with the conference."
---
Madara's instincts flared.
Something was wrong.
Danger.
---
In the next instant—
Four golden chains burst out from behind Naruto.
They shot forward like lightning.
---
"Trying to seal me?!"
Madara laughed angrily.
"This is the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique—"
"Adamantine Chains!"
He dodged instantly.
---
Clang!
The chain struck his kunai instead.
Sparks exploded.
Madara's expression changed.
These chains—
Were too fast.
Too precise.
---
The golden chains twisted like living serpents.
Faster than lightning.
They chased him relentlessly.
---
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Madara moved at extreme speed.
Most people couldn't even see him—
Only flashes of golden light filling the sky.
---
"This speed… it's insane!"
"I can barely see afterimages—and I'm a Jōnin!"
"I'm an elite Jōnin, and even I can't keep up!"
"That's Uchiha Madara?!"
"No…"
"The real monster is that blond boy!"
"He's forcing Madara to retreat!"
---
The Kage watched in silence.
Their expressions grim.
They all understood one thing—
Either of those two…
Could crush them effortlessly.
---
Madara's voice rang out.
"Boy!"
"State your name!"
"Other than Hashirama…"
"You are the strongest opponent I've ever faced!"
"I acknowledge you as the strongest user of the Uzumaki sealing techniques!"
---
Naruto's voice was calm.
"You still have time to talk?"
"Then the pressure isn't enough."
---
The chains accelerated.
Their speed doubled.
---
The sky filled with golden light.
A massive net formed—
A cage of chains sealing all directions.
---
Madara's space to move shrank rapidly.
His figure was finally revealed.
He was being cornered.
---
"Shinra Tensei!"
Madara's eyes changed.
A ripple pattern appeared.
A massive repulsive force exploded outward.
---
The chain net expanded suddenly.
A storm of wind blades burst outward.
---
"Not good!"
"Earth Style—Earth Wall!"
"Water Style—Water Barrier!"
Ninja from all villages rushed to defend.
---
Even the aftershock alone—
Was powerful enough to kill ordinary people instantly.
---
Boom!
The attacks were barely blocked.
Everyone's faces turned pale.
---
"If that attack hit directly…"
"We'd all be dead…"
---
Nagato's expression darkened.
"Shinra Tensei…"
"So Madara really had the Rinnegan…"
"Are these eyes… originally his?"
---
For the first time—
Nagato felt inferior.
---
Naruto stood calmly.
The net shrank again.
Madara was trapped.
---
"Damn it!"
Madara roared.
---
"Susanoo!"
---
A massive blue chakra erupted.
Bones formed.
Then armor.
Then a gigantic warrior—
Hundreds of meters tall.
---
The chains stretched—
Reduced to thin golden threads.
Wrapped around the giant like decoration.
---
Madara stood inside, arms crossed.
Looking down at Naruto.
"Brat."
"You're strong."
"But if you want to defeat me…"
"Train for another hundred years."
---
The crowd was stunned.
"This… this is Susanoo?!"
"It's enormous!"
"This thing could wipe out everyone here in one strike!"
---
Sasuke's eyes burned with excitement.
"This is the true power of the Uchiha…"
"I must awaken my Mangekyō…"
---
Itachi was silent.
Even his Susanoo—
Was insignificant compared to this.
---
Naruto smiled faintly.
"You've shown off enough."
"Time to end this."
---
The golden threads tightened.
---
CRACK.
---
The massive Susanoo—
Shattered like glass.
---
The chains pierced through effortlessly.
Wrapped around Madara completely.
---
"Impossible!"
Madara shouted.
"How could you break through Susanoo?!"
---
Boom!
The giant disappeared.
Madara fell to the ground—
Bound tightly like a cocoon.
Unable to move.
---
Naruto crouched in front of him.
Smiling.
"So…"
"Madara."
"Do you still want to dance?"
---
Madara's face darkened.
He said nothing.
---
Now—
He finally understood.
From the beginning—
Naruto had been playing with him.
---
Silence filled the arena.
Then—
Chaos.
---
"That was… Uchiha Madara?!"
"He lost?!"
"That giant… it could destroy everything!"
"And it was crushed instantly?!"
"Who is that boy?!"
"This level of power…"
"It's like the Sage of Six Paths himself!"
---
The entire crowd was stunned.
Their scalps tingled.
The legendary Uchiha Madara—
Had been defeated so easily.
Bound.
Powerless.
Humiliated.
---
It felt unreal.
Like a dream.
