" Sage Art: Lava Style — Rasenshuriken!! "
Naruto directly hurled the massive crimson Rasenshuriken in his hand!
Madara, seeing this, quickly changed one of the Truth-Seeking Balls floating beside him into a shield to defend against the fierce attack!
Just as the huge Rasenshuriken was about to collide with the Truth-Seeking Ball, Naruto gave a slight tug with his finger— the Rasenshuriken suddenly curved midair!
Boom!!!
After turning, the rapidly spinning Rasenshuriken slammed straight into the Divine Tree beside Madara!
Its chakra blades instantly cut into the trunk!!
Then—
BOOM—!!
The Lava Style inside the shuriken detonated, blasting the massive Divine Tree apart!!
Madara: ∑(✘Д✘๑)
Next to Naruto, Sasuke smirked: "Your brain's finally working for once."
Naruto: "After hanging around Shinju for so long, I've managed to pick up a few tricks. Controlling a Rasenshuriken's direction with chakra threads is nothing special. ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"
"Now that the Divine Tree is severed, there's no longer the hidden threat of Infinite Tsukuyomi! We can fight Madara without holding back! ୧⍢⃝୨"
After speaking, Naruto spread his hand, and two black rods appeared!
With the power of the Sage of Six Paths, he could now command Truth-Seeking Balls and black rods!
In front of them, with the Divine Tree cut down, the thick trunk toppled toward Madara!
As Madara was thinking of a way to create another Divine Tree, he suddenly heard its voice calling to him—
[Absorb… absorb me… absorb the Divine Tree, absorb the Ten-Tails, absorb everything!]
Madara made a decision in an instant. He leapt into the air and pressed his body against the tree's surface!
Swish!!
The massive trunk drilled directly into Madara's body the moment they touched!!
In no time, he had absorbed the entire Divine Tree into himself!
Then, he revealed a sudden look of realization: "So that's how it is!"
"Only by absorbing the Divine Tree can I obtain true power! ง(*Ӧ)ว "
He lifted his head and looked toward the gigantic blood-red moon.
Before he could act, Naruto and Sasuke had already rushed up to attack him!
"Hey! Why are you eating a tree!" Naruto shouted while striking with a black rod.
Madara answered coldly: "Limbo: Border Jail!"
Naruto's charge suddenly halted, as if blocked by something invisible!
On the other side, Sasuke's Rinnegan saw through everything—
"Madara's technique creates four invisible clones! That's how he attacks silently!"
Madara heard Sasuke and was secretly shocked: "That eye of his can see the shadows in Limbo! If I obtain his Six Tomoe Rinnegan, my power will reach even further!"
"But I'll have to delay that plan until after Infinite Tsukuyomi is unleashed…"
With that thought, Madara clapped his hands and shouted again: "Sage Art — Yin Release Lightning Net!!"
Crackle!!
Black-purple lightning spread from his hands, forming a net that wrapped toward Naruto and Sasuke!
Naruto raised his black rod, using his enhanced Sage body to endure the electric attack head-on!
Meanwhile, Sasuke used his ocular power to teleport instantly the moment Madara cast the jutsu!!
…
Not far away, Tobirama's group widened their eyes, stunned as they watched the battle of sages.
Minato: "We have to hurry and help! Naruto and Sasuke can't fight alone!"
Tobirama nodded: "We might not be able to do much…"
Kakashi: "…Can't say 'not much.' I feel like I can't do anything at all! ||๐_๐"
As they spoke, a ninja nearby suddenly shouted: "Look at the sky!! (꒪⌓꒪) "
They looked up and saw Madara floating high in the air, creating dozens of eerie black spheres!
Bzz—!
A powerful pull emanated from the spheres, drawing up rocks and earth to wrap around them!!
Seconds later, dozens of massive stone orbs hung in the sky— each tens of meters wide. If they fell, the entire battlefield would be reduced to ruins instantly!!
"Chibaku Tensei."
Madara said mockingly:
"I'll give you a little rain. I hope you don't think the raindrops are too big…"
With that, he flew even higher…
On the battlefield, Naruto and Sasuke wanted to chase him, but the falling "raindrops" blocked their way!
"If these things hit the ground, the entire Allied Forces are done for!"
Naruto grit his teeth and created shadow clones to smash the falling boulders!
Sasuke also summoned his Susanoo and began cutting them apart!!
The remaining shinobi below also joined in, launching jutsu upward…
Naruto: "Who used a Fireball? Watch where you're aiming, you burned one of my clones…"
"And who the heck is adding clay from above?! Do you think things falling from the sky aren't enough already?! Ծ‸ Ծ "
…
While everyone below fought desperately against Chibaku Tensei, Madara alone reached the highest altitude, facing the giant blood moon.
His body trembled slightly from excitement— his ideal was about to be fulfilled!
He raised his hand and crack! broke off the horn-like protrusion on his forehead, revealing a flesh seam down the center!
Madara whispered: "According to the inscription on the stone tablet…"
"When the one who possesses the power of the Rinnegan draws near the moon, the Eye of the Moon that brings forth the Infinite Dream will open!"
As he spoke, the seam on his forehead split wide, revealing a scarlet Rinne Sharingan!!
At the same time, the blood moon reflected the same Rinne Sharingan pattern—
Similar to the Rinnegan, but surrounded by nine tomoe around the pupil.
Black tomoe and pupil within blood-red sclera — overflowing with a sinister power!
"Illuminate the world!"
Madara formed hand seals—
"Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
Shoom—!!
The blood moon erupted with white light, illuminating the entire world!!
In an instant, night turned to day!
Everyone bathed in the moonlight froze, their eyes reflecting the Rinnegan pattern— trapped in genjutsu!!
…
At the same time, the Land of Fire's Daimyo residence.
Several Daimyo playing games until midnight looked curiously out the window.
"That's strange… it's obviously nighttime. Why is it so bright outside? (⊙o⊙)"
"Who knows…"
Before he finished, the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi pierced the roof and shone onto every Daimyo!
This scene played out across the entire world all at once—
Under the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi, no shadow could hide!!
…
Mount Myōboku.
"What's going on? Why so urgent?"
Gamakichi: "All the toads we sent to the ninja world suddenly stopped responding. ◝₍ᴑ̑ДO͝₎◞"
"Didn't you send more to investigate?"
Gamakichi: "We did! But every toad we send disappears too! Σ( ° △ °|||)︴"
"Something big is happening in the ninja world! Dad told me to report to the Great Toad Sage…"
...
I recommend checking out my new Pokémon fanfic, "Pokémon System: Me, the Strongest Champion of the League"! It features a system that isn't overpowered, keeping the story balanced and engaging. The main character isn't Ash, but an original, cool MC, which makes it even more enjoyable to read. I'd love to hear your feedback!
