Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: A Parting Gift

**The Skyscreen continued.**

Numerous giant beasts were already engaged in battle. The Tailed Beasts on the right faction knew very well that only the Gedo Statue posed the greatest threat on the opposing side, while the other summoned beasts were nothing to fear.

Therefore, the Tailed Beasts ignored the summoned beasts completely. They pounced towards the Gedo Statue in unison, intending to tear it to shreds, leaving the summoned beasts for Sasuke to handle alone.

Sasuke, naturally, wasn't polite either. Without saying a word, he controlled Susanoo, dispatching the summoned beasts one by one with a single slash each. Except for the Multi-Headed Dog which caused him a little trouble, the other summoned beasts were no match for him.

However, the Tailed Beasts didn't fare so well. They deeply experienced how troublesome the Gedo Statue was.

When they approached the Gedo Statue, numerous roots would sprout from its body to entangle them, frantically absorbing their chakra.

When the Tailed Beasts finally broke free and distanced themselves, the Gedo Statue would extend its large hands and use the Wood Release: Cutting Technique to shoot countless wooden stakes, leaving the Tailed Beasts in a sorry state.

"Damn it, this won't work. Think of something quickly!" The Two-Tails Matatabi leaped nimbly across the battlefield, dodging wooden stakes thicker than her arms, shouting indignantly.

"I didn't expect this thing to be so strong even without our power." The Seven-Tails Chōmei flew in the sky, much more relaxed compared to its siblings.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks! Think of a way!" Matatabi roared angrily. Her agility was the best, so to cover her siblings, she attracted most of the Gedo Statue's fire and was now being chased miserably.

The Eight-Tails Gyūki spat out a Tailed Beast Ball that exploded on the Gedo Statue. However, after the explosion, the Gedo Statue remained unharmed.

"Let's use a Combined Tailed Beast Ball. Gather all our power to destroy it in one go!" Gyūki proposed.

The Tailed Beasts agreed one after another.

"Good! Shukaku, take my place. Stall this thing and buy us some time."

Matatabi shouted at the One-Tail Shukaku.

"Why should I go?!" Shukaku was indignant. Did his small arms and legs look like they could stall the Gedo Statue?

"Who told you to have the least chakra? Missing you won't affect the power of the Tailed Beast Ball much," Matatabi said bluntly.

"Matatabi is right. We're counting on you for this, Shukaku," Gyūki said.

"Jijijiji, that's right, that's right. No one is more suitable than Shukaku," the Six-Tails Saiken also laughed slyly.

"Yeah, Shukaku, you can definitely do it."

The Tailed Beasts chimed in.

"...You bastards!"

Shukaku cursed, but his body honestly blocked in front of the numerous Tailed Beasts.

"Don't worry, Shukaku. I'm with you."

Gaara, standing on Shukaku's head, said.

Facing the Cutting Technique shot by the Gedo Statue, Shukaku opened his mouth and spat out a blast of air.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Bullet!"

However, the wooden stakes shot by the Gedo Statue were numerous, and Shukaku's ninjutsu couldn't completely defeat them.

Gaara controlled the sand, preparing to block all these wooden stakes.

Just then, Sasuke controlled Susanoo to slash all the remaining incoming wooden stakes with one sword strike, then stood together with Shukaku.

Although the Tailed Beasts didn't ask for his help, he came anyway.

Shukaku and Gaara glanced at him but said nothing.

Behind them, seven Tailed Beasts stood in a row. They gathered chakra together, condensing a super-large Tailed Beast Ball.

"Heh, with this Tailed Beast Ball, even that thing will suffer," Shukaku grinned. But thinking that he had no credit in this, the smile on his face stopped immediately.

"Banshō Ten'in (Universal Pull)!"

However, just as the Tailed Beast Ball was about to take shape, Naruto raised his hand lightly, aiming his palm at the Tailed Beast Ball.

His Rinnegan moved slightly, and the Tailed Beast Ball instantly broke free from the Tailed Beasts' control, flying straight towards Naruto.

Then, Naruto flicked his wrist, and the super-large Tailed Beast Ball was controlled by him, flying towards the sky above the Allied Shinobi Forces who were engaging the White Zetsu army.

"Careful!"

Tsunade, standing on Katsuyu's head, could clearly see the trajectory of the Tailed Beast Ball, so she shouted loudly.

But it was too late to say anything now.

The Tailed Beast Ball bloomed with dazzling white light above the Allied Forces.

Immediately after, a violent explosion directly caused the ground to cave in, kicking up a large amount of dust.

Then, a deafening explosion rang out abruptly. The powerful shockwave, like an invisible giant hand, pressed ruthlessly towards the ground.

In an instant, the ground was like a fragile piece of dough, directly pressed into a depression by this huge force, forming a deep crater.

At the same time, the energy generated by the explosion spread madly in all directions like surging waves. Wherever it went, a large amount of dust was ruthlessly kicked up. For a moment, dust flew everywhere, blotting out the sky and sun. The entire space was filled with this pervasive dust as if the world was shrouded in a yellow mist.

When the explosion ended, whether it was the 20,000 Allied Shinobi Forces originally there or the tens of thousands of White Zetsu army, they had all disappeared, turned into flying ash and dust.

"No! No, no, no! How could this be!"

The first to feel disbelief were not the Tailed Beasts, but the Jinchūriki.

When they saw the Tailed Beast Ball explode above the Allied Forces, they felt like the sky was falling!

Even someone as open-minded as Killer B had a face full of heaviness at this moment.

"You don't need to be so sad. They just went to the Pure Land a step ahead of you. When I destroy the Ninja World, you will all reunite in another world.

Now, let's continue this game."

Naruto retracted his hand and chuckled lightly.

"You are a devil!"

The Seven-Tails Jinchūriki Fū shouted loudly with tears in her eyes. She was a little girl whose mind hadn't matured yet; how could she bear such a blow? At the moment the Tailed Beast Ball exploded, she felt like she had become an executioner.

"Childish."

Naruto didn't even bother to give her a look.

Just then, the space beside Naruto suddenly distorted, and a hoarse voice came from the distorted space.

"The location has been confirmed. It's deep under the sea on the east side of the island."

"Oh, really? It seems this game ends here." Naruto looked at the giant beasts in front of him with a light smile.

"I'll let you off this time. Next time we meet, what awaits you is death."

After speaking, Naruto wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he gathered chakra and condensed a pitch-black chakra ball in his palm.

This chakra ball looked like a planet, surrounded by a pitch-black planetary ring.

"This is a parting gift."

Saying this, Naruto casually threw down the Great Spiralling Ring (Dai Rasenringu) in his hand, then stepped into the distorted space and disappeared.
