Watching Minato Namikaze launch his attack instantly, Naruto Uzumaki immediately entered Tailed Beast Mode, forming a spiraling Tailed Beast Ball in his right hand.
"Good job, Fourth Hokage."
Tobirama Senju looked at Minato, who was using the Flying Thunder God Technique better than himself, and praised. At this moment, there was nothing more for him to do. The damage from the Tailed Beast Ball exceeded all the ninja techniques he had studied so far. Now… he could only watch his big brothers.
"Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi."
Uchiha Sasuke directly activated Susanoo, forming black, indestructible flames into arrow-like projectiles, drawing his arm back like a bow, aiming at Yuuki and shooting.
"Wood Style: Wood Clone Technique."
Hashirama Senju clapped her hands, summoning wooden clones behind her.
"Wood Style: Wood Dragon Technique."
Above the large wooden clone, a wooden dragon appeared, wrapping around it and approaching Yuuki, whose form was constantly enlarging, resembling one to seven tails.
Hashirama Senju's clone climbed along the tail of the wooden dragon to the wooden puppet's shoulder, preparing to use to suppress him.
Madara Uchiha coldly watched Yuuki being besieged, observing his search for self, and sneered: "Little ghost, just a little ghost. You just became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki and already lost yourself."
"..."
Obito Uchiha remained silent. If he became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, maybe he'd end up like that too?
No… the pain he experienced was far greater than that guy's. He would never become a slave to the Ten-Tails.
"Ah!!!"
Yuuki instinctively screamed. His body… was being torn apart piece by piece. The pain… struck straight to his soul. In the next moment, Minato Namikaze, holding a Tailed Beast Ball, suddenly appeared before him.
"I'll free you."
Seeing the boy's face full of pain from that swollen form, Minato efficiently drew the Tailed Beast Ball from his hand.
Immediately after, the spiral Tailed Beast Ball and the Kagutsuchi flames appeared.
"Boom!!"
A deafening explosion erupted. The ground was ground into molecules by the rapidly spinning spiral Tailed Beast Ball, which finally exploded, sending its residual power extending for dozens of kilometers.
"We won!!"
With the spiral Tailed Beast Ball hitting directly, Naruto Uzumaki had a premonition that even the Six Paths Sage wouldn't be unscathed, let alone the now weakened Yuuki.
"Don't underestimate that guy!!"
Hashirama Senju, bearing the aftershock of the explosion, manipulated the wooden clone forward, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Yuuki. At this moment, no mistakes could be allowed. Becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki made him far stronger than himself. If his consciousness hadn't been swallowed by the Ten-Tails, they might not even have had a chance to get close!!
As the aftershock of the explosion dissipated, a black sphere stood upright in the deep crater.
"Oh no!!"
The worst-case scenario had occurred. Seeing the black sphere that could just fit one person, Hashirama Senju's pupils contracted. She clapped her hands, releasing a mighty仙术 (divine technique), shouting: "Wood Style: All-Bag Technique!!"
"Crack—"
Terrifying magic spread underground. Several giant trees sprouted from the edge of the deep crater, eventually forming giant hands that wrapped around the black sphere, prepared for any sudden, unknown situation.
Silence fell. Everyone thought it was over, but now all eyes focused on the deep crater. Most ninja didn't know what was happening inside—they only knew that the battlefield… was not over yet.
"Hehe, have you truly gained control over the rampaging Ten-Tails within your body?"
As the dust settled, Madara Uchiha sneered. He never expected that his long-planned scheme would be disrupted by an outsider who suddenly appeared.
But… the war wasn't over yet. Even if he now fully controlled the Ten-Tails inside him, he couldn't leave this place.
The only thing he needed to be wary of was that Seeking Jade. If it was touched even once, this reincarnated body of the Outer Path couldn't be repaired.
"That guy…"
The rampaging chakra of the Ten-Tails had calmed, and Obito Uchiha's eyes grew serious. He had actually regained himself under the Ten-Tails' devouring. What was waiting for him at the end of this?
Why did he want to become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki?!
The shallow people who only crave power would be drowned the moment they obtained the Ten-Tails because they had become too strong, and their satisfied consciousness would be devoured by the Ten-Tails, turning into puppets.
But those who can regain themselves are definitely not doing so just to gain the Ten-Tails' power. They want to complete their own goals and have firm beliefs.
His purpose… As the Seeking Jade shell fell away, Yuuki's naked upper body appeared before Hashirama Senju.
His body, clad in a shell-like Tailed Beast attire, was muscular and orderly. Six black magatama were visible on his collarbones, eight Seeking Jades circled behind him. Yuuki held a staff, with the Rinnegan in his eyes and nine magatama.
At this moment, he not only regained all his memories within the river of consciousness but also understood everything about the ninja world as if grasping all truths of the universe.
"Ding—ding—"
The crisp sound of the staff echoed. Hashirama Senju, staring directly at Yuuki, broke out in cold sweat on her forehead. They… were not on the same level.
"I don't have time to bother with you. Step back."
Knowing all the truths of the world, Yuuki looked at Hashirama Senju with cold sweat on his forehead and said, "I'm going back. For me, this war is just a sweet treat in life. After the war, only sadness remains, so there's no need to continue fighting. At this moment, I declare… the Fourth Ninja World War, over!!"
Yuuki flew into the sky, his loud voice echoing throughout the ninja coalition.
The war ended surprisingly quickly. It wasn't the final plan to obliterate the ninja world as imagined. Their relentless resistance… seemed like a joke.
A huge joke. Turns out… the ones who truly wanted to end the war were the enemies.
Their existence only added to the death…
"...Hahaha!!"
Looking at the one who obtained the Ten-Tails just to stop the battle, as if it was a joke from the heavens, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but burst into laughter. His loud laughter echoed across the battlefield.
He… couldn't accept it.
Someone who could subdue the Ten-Tails, participate in the battlefield, actively strip away the Nine-Tails chakra, and even oppose both sides—just to end the war?!
Terrifying chakra scattered, the blue Susanoo standing proudly, he shouted toward Yuuki: "I, Uchiha Madara, absolutely do not accept such a ridiculous joke!!"
The Suso Tengu, over 200 meters tall, stood in the world. Madara Uchiha was now fully unleashing his power, with the Rinnegan glaring at Yuuki, shouting: "I will never accept this absurd ending!!"
"I don't need your approval."
Yuuki stared directly at Madara Uchiha, clapped his hands and said, "Earth Explosion: Heavenly Star!!"
In the next instant, a terrifying gravity centered on Madara's Susanoo caused the earth to begin to collapse and disintegrate. As for the gravity sphere?
That thing was completely unnecessary in front of Yuuki, who had mastered the universe's cause and effect.
"Crack—"
The ground shattered, stones gathering toward Susanoo. Madara, standing within Susanoo, formed hand seals and roared: "Tendo: Shaking Heaven and Earth!!"
At night, the ninja coalition looked at the internal conflict unique to the Uchiha clan. Their pupils contracted. They didn't even know how to describe the scene—only the word "God" could fit…
Silence. The onlookers were frozen, unable to speak. Only the sound of cracking stones echoed in their ears. But for some reason, above the sky… a roar seemed to come from the heavens…
"Look… what is that?!"
Looking up, they saw a meteorite nearly four kilometers in diameter tearing through the sky, falling straight toward them…
In the battlefield of gods, mere mortals like them could die instantly just from being caught in the aftermath.
"Adjust formation, resist the falling meteorite impact! Scatter!!"
A person shouted hoarsely. In an instant, the ninja coalition responded, scattering in all directions to escape the battle between these two gods!!
"Amazing, reaching such strength without relying on external forces."
Yuuki watched the falling meteorite, sensing that there was an even larger one behind it…
"Go."
The floating Seeking Jade behind him flew toward the falling meteorite and smashed into it.
Even a gentle touch would directly erase the massive meteorite falling from the sky. The power of the Six Paths, containing all phenomena of the universe, was complete—except for divine techniques. But… Yuuki himself mastered magic, making up for that shortcoming.
"…disappeared…"
Seeing what originally belonged to him being taken away by others, Madara Uchiha commanded Susanoo to break out of the gravity circle of Tendo: Shaking Heaven and Earth, roaring at Yuuki: "You bastard!!"
"Useless move."
Yuuki extended his right hand, forming a staff from Seeking Jade. The pleasant collision sound echoed as he looked at the hundred-meter-long Susanoo sword approaching.
When the two collided, the azure long sword shattered directly, broken apart by Seeking Jade.
Useless…
Watching his proud Susanoo being easily shattered, Madara's pupils contracted.
In the next moment, six Seeking Jades flew out from behind Yuuki, piercing through Madara's Susanoo body.
He lost. No chance of victory. Seeking Jade can decompose everything, only energy can oppose it. But… Madara Uchiha hadn't learned Sage Mode.
His body was pierced and could no longer be repaired. As the massive Susanoo dispersed, Madara Uchiha, falling from the sky, reflected Yuuki's body in his eyes… he had lost again.
He lost so hilariously. He… lost to a child, yet that child controlled the Ten-Tails.
The divine tree from his plan didn't appear, nor did the peaceful, warless, pain-free world of dreams. But… the war was over.
"It's so ridiculous…"
"Thud!!"
Madara Uchiha's body heavily crashed onto the ground, closing his eyes, waiting for the mocking words of Hashirama Senju.
"Are you okay?"
Hashirama Senju hurried over and saw Madara lying on the ground, only half of his body remaining, and extended her right hand.
"Mock me."
"Huh?"
"...Do I look fine?!!"
Seeing Hashirama Senju still acting as foolish as ever, Madara opened his eyes and roared loudly.
"Seeing you still full of life makes me feel at ease."
