[Boom!!!]
Ordinary shinobi did not take part in this battle. Under Fūnan's command, the shinobi forces had been fully refined — even the weakest Uchiha among them could be considered elite among Chūnin.
Naturally, they weren't using low-level Fire Release jutsu, but rather mid- to high-tier jutsu.
After just one round of Fire Release attacks, smoke was already rising from the Ten-Tails' body.
Susanoo had to be dispelled.
Not because Uchiha Madara was out of chakra — but because it had been forcibly shattered.
He wasn't facing hundreds of attacks — he was enduring thousands of mid- to high-level jutsu, many of them at Kage-level.
"Water Release!"
The Water Release users stepped forward.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Uchiha Madara's brow furrowed tightly.
First Fire Release, now Water Release.
The alternating heat and cold — the resulting destruction was immense.
And sure enough—
After the wave of Water Release jutsu, the Ten-Tails' chakra became completely chaotic.
"Again!"
At Fūnan's command, another barrage of Fire and Water Release attacks surged forth.
The Ten-Tails tried to struggle, but hundreds of Wind Release users suppressed it from above with powerful gusts. Below, Earth Release shinobi locked it in place with jutsu that sealed its movements.
And that wasn't all — Lightning Release users launched jutsu in rapid succession, bombarding it without pause.
Faced with this dense onslaught of attacks, the Ten-Tails thrashed wildly, roaring in pain.
It was furious.
It wanted to destroy everything.
Uchiha Madara's expression was cold as ice. He channeled even more power into the Ten-Tails.
He glanced to the side.
Senju Hashirama had summoned a wooden golem to pin down Madara's own wooden construct.
Up above, Uchiha Fūnan hovered with predatory eyes, watching closely.
"I'm coming in!"
Naruto's voice rang out as he shouted excitedly, locking eyes with Sasuke.
"Wind Release: Rasen Shuriken!"
"Susanoo! Amaterasu! Kagutsuchi!"
[Whirrrrr!]
Two devastating attacks shot toward the Ten-Tails.
The entire time—
Uchiha Itachi kept his eyes fixed on Naruto, watching with intense focus.
Fortunately, the attacks were aimed straight at Uchiha Madara.
Itachi let out a huge sigh of relief.
Phew… Thank goodness.
This time, nothing unexpected happened.
[BOOM!!!]
A massive explosion rocked the battlefield.
The Ten-Tails let out a piercing cry of agony.
Even for a monster like this—
Such an intense volume and caliber of attacks… it could feel pain too.
It unleashed a violent surge of chakra in retaliation.
Uchiha Madara shot a quick glance at Sasuke and Naruto.
These two brats… their power was nothing to scoff at.
"ROARRR!"
The Ten-Tails exploded with power. Wind and Earth Release users looked alarmed.
Even with several thousand shinobi working together, the Ten-Tails was slowly starting to break free.
"Hmph!"
Fūnan let out a cold snort and said, "Hit it with something big. Make it shut up."
"Rooarrr!"
The Three-Tails let out a deafening roar as a Tailed Beast Ball began forming in its mouth.
"Fire!"
The Tailed Beast Bomb blasted toward the Ten-Tails.
But then—
Mid-flight, the bomb suddenly veered off course, turning toward Naruto and Sasuke.
"What?!"
Fūnan's expression shifted.
What was happening?
Hagoromo… what are you planning?
Why would you attack even the reincarnations of your own sons?
Do you want them to reincarnate again? Or is this attack supposed to achieve some hidden purpose?
He didn't understand — but there was no time to figure it out.
Even Uchiha Itachi and the others were stunned.
The attack… had changed targets again?
Just as the Tailed Beast Bomb was about to strike Naruto and Sasuke, a barrier suddenly appeared, covered in dense, intricate sealing runes.
The bomb froze in mid-air.
The runes shimmered and flowed like water, surrounding the bomb, slowly absorbing it — until it vanished completely.
"A barrier? Sealing technique?"
Fūnan's eyes lit up.
Minato!
[Flick!]
A figure appeared behind Fūnan — none other than Namikaze Minato.
He looked at Fūnan and said, "That was close, Hokage-sama."
Fūnan's gaze was cold. "There's a rat hiding in the shadows, plotting something in silence."
"I thought so too."
Minato didn't question Fūnan.
If Fūnan had really wanted to harm Naruto, he'd had plenty of chances. Only a fool would choose a moment like this.
Besides, Minato had seen it himself — how Naruto and the others' attack suddenly shifted toward Fūnan.
He'd been caught off guard as well.
It was from that moment on that he began hiding in the shadows, nerves taut, ready to strike at any second.
And who would've thought—he really got his chance.
Not only that, he even saved his own son!
[Whoosh!]
Another figure appeared.
"Fourth!" The newcomer nodded at Minato.
"Nidaime-sama!" Minato quickly returned the gesture with a bow.
"There's someone lurking in the dark," Tobirama said in a low voice, "and they're incredibly strong. As long as they're around, sealing Uchiha Madara won't be easy."
Funan's face darkened. "Then we'll take this step by step. You two keep a close eye on things. If anything unexpected happens, use the Flying Thunder God Technique to get me out of there."
"ROAR!!!"
Right at that moment, the Ten-Tails finally broke free.
It leapt from the underground cavern and locked eyes with the Allied Shinobi Forces, its gaze filled with pure malice.
"Roar!"
It roared again and again, the sheer force of its voice causing waves of pain to ripple across the expressions of countless shinobi.
[Zzzzz!]
A Tailed Beast Bomb began to form in its mouth.
"So fast!" Funan's face tensed. He was just about to make a move to stop it—when it was already too late.
The Ten-Tails swallowed the Tailed Beast Bomb whole.
"ROAR!"
[Boom!]
A massive shockwave erupted from its mouth and blasted out in all directions.
"Watch out!"
Earth Release shinobi sprang into action, forming earthen walls to block the blast.
But...
It was useless!
The walls crumbled instantly, unable to offer even the slightest delay.
In the end, it was Uchiha Itachi who stepped in, activating Susanoo to shield them from the attack.
Even though Susanoo was shattered by the force, the attack was finally stopped.
"Is that all you've got?"
Uchiha Madara crossed his arms and watched with cold eyes.
"Uchiha Funan, is this what you call a 'shinobi alliance' technique? Pathetic."
Funan smirked. "Oh, you're in for a show."
He swung his arm down and shouted, "Everyone—beat it up!"
"ROAR!!!"
The tailed beasts let out furious roars and charged at the Ten-Tails.
This thing had tried to devour them—they'd had enough of it a long time ago!
"Funan!"
Tobirama was shocked. "Are you insane?!"
What was the Ten-Tails' biggest desire?
To absorb the other Tailed Beasts!
"Don't worry," Funan said with a cold sneer. "It's not just the Tailed Beasts. We've got others too."
"AAAAAHHH!!!"
With a series of roars, massive figures began appearing one after another.
Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Shirayu, Uchiha Komehi, and Uchiha Tetsuhi!
Five Uchiha—all wielding Mangekyō Sharingan—had arrived!
Even Hashirama and Madara were stunned.
Not even in the golden age of the Uchiha had so many Mangekyō users appeared at once.
It was insane.
They glanced over at Uchiha Funan, and off in the distance, Uchiha Fugaku was still dealing with the final Bloodline Limit monster.
Madara fell silent.
He didn't know about anything else—but right now, this was the Uchiha's most glorious moment.
The eight Tailed Beasts had all appeared as well.
A horde of massive creatures surged forward toward the Ten-Tails.
Though none of them were as large as the Ten-Tails, they had strength in numbers.
"Go!"
At Funan's command, the Tailed Beasts sprang into action.
Leading the charge was the Three-Tails.
It curled into a ball and rolled straight toward the Ten-Tails.
The Ten-Tails caught it with its tail and opened its mouth. Chains shot out, wrapping around the Three-Tails.
Its intent was clear—devour it first!
[BAM!]
Just then, a massive Susanoo descended from the sky and stomped the Ten-Tails' jaws shut.
"If we're fighting, use your fists. Don't go biting people—that's just poor sportsmanship," said Uchiha Itachi.
With its mouth slammed shut, what could it even hope to devour now?
Taking advantage of the moment, the other Tailed Beasts unleashed their attacks.
