============
Four meteors crashed down, erupting with a blinding light as bright as day, instantly turning the world into a field of white.
Next came a typhoon-like shockwave that swept across heaven and earth, sending countless mountains, rocks, and sand flying.
A gigantic mushroom cloud of dust soared into the air—this apocalyptic scene made even Deidara, the Akatsuki's explosives expert, widen his eyes before bursting into maniacal laughter.
"Haha! Art is an explosion, I told you! Look, all of you, look! This is the art of explosion!"
The explosion caused by the falling meteors surpassed even Deidara's strongest bombs—even his suicide bomb couldn't compare.
But this very scene sent Deidara into frenzied laughter as if he'd found a new target.
He couldn't die yet! He especially couldn't use his suicide art so easily—not when something so magnificent was right before his eyes.
"Explosion is art! Hahaha, pfft—!"
Deidara laughed so hard he ate a mouthful of dust, but his excitement couldn't be hidden.
Meanwhile, as the dust clouds dispersed in the distance, the devastated battlefield appeared before the Allied Shinobi Forces. At this moment, countless people stared blankly, shocked by what they saw.
How powerful was the destruction of four meteors falling?
Everyone knew it all too well—the vast battlefield had its terrain completely altered, with the four meteors shattering into huge chunks, unleashing terrifying destructive power.
If it had just been meteors falling, they might not have shattered, but this was the collision of two Uchiha Madaras' jutsu—only then could such devastation be unleashed.
At the moment of impact, the four meteors struck each other.
From the ruins and dust came weak coughing; a bloodstained figure stood up from the wreckage.
A Kumogakure shinobi had just used a jutsu to protect him, but this person was spent, and with a hoarse voice, he said his last words:
"Lord Raikage... Kumogakure still needs you..."
As the jutsu collapsed, it meant his death. The bloodstained figure was the one-armed Fourth Raikage, A.
At this moment, his eyes were empty, staring in disbelief at the ruined world.
"How... how is this possible? My Kumogakure army—just now, there were so many..."
His hoarse voice echoed, and the Fourth Raikage trembled, blood streaming down his face, as he looked at the mutilated corpses all around. The few survivors were all gravely wounded.
One Kumogakure ninja, pinned by rubble and coughing up blood and entrails, stared blankly and rasped:
"Is... is this the power of a god?"
"God..."
Every visible Kumogakure ninja was missing limbs, and even those who barely survived were mortally wounded. The aftershock alone had shattered their organs.
"Lord Shirou, the new Raikage Mabui leads the Kumogakure shinobi to join the Allied Shinobi Forces!"
Just then, a whistling sound came from afar—a squad of white-clad Kumogakure shinobi rushed over.
Seeing this, the Fourth Raikage's face twisted with fury and unwillingness.
Kumogakure was gone!
Even the over ten thousand elite black-clad shinobi he'd brought were all wiped out in this meteor strike.
"Uchiha!"
Under the ruins, the Fourth Raikage roared in fury, but it was too late—no one paid any attention to him.
Now, everyone's attention was on the battlefield.
"Seize the opportunity—seal Madara, seal all the Edo Tensei!"
The meteor fall was a suicidal, all-destroying move. The two Madaras' clash didn't just wipe out Kumogakure— even the Edo Tensei bodies couldn't withstand it and were shattered, now slowly repairing.
"Madara, your jutsu is too dangerous," said Hashirama as his half-repaired body reformed, but the distant Madara just snorted coldly.
"Edo Tensei was always a forbidden jutsu meant to take the enemy down with you."
One sentence revealed the true intent behind Edo Tensei.
"You in this world have already failed!"
Madara roared, his Susanoo chakra flaring again, and far away, a blue Susanoo giant rose.
"Damn it! Obito, and those petty Six Paths bastards!"
Madara in this world was full of rage. He wasn't afraid of battle, but his pride would never allow him to be controlled by others.
Especially since the plan he'd schemed for decades turned out to be a conspiracy, and he was just a pawn—this made Madara furious.
In the center of the battlefield, Madara's angry resistance made even Uchiha Obito, hidden in an unknown cave far away, frown.
"Madara is fiercely resisting Edo Tensei's control."
Rinnegan Madara's power had already surpassed Hashirama; even Obito found this counterattack tricky.
To avoid being killed, Obito's presence on the battlefield was just a clone via the Astral Projection Technique.
"Obito!"
In the dark cave, Naruto Uzumaki could no longer bear the frustration. He pointed outside and yelled:
"We can't just sit here any longer! Who knows when the Sage of Six Paths will return, but outside, over ten thousand of my fellow shinobi have already been slaughtered. I can't let my comrades keep making mistakes—!"
Naruto's passionate outburst left Obito silent for a moment before he replied gravely:
"Naruto, Uchiha Shirou still hasn't appeared. Just as the Sage of Six Paths said, this must be a trap. He is waiting for us to go out—we absolutely cannot fall for it."
"But out there, my friends, everyone in the ninja world is being deceived!"
Fueled by righteous anger, Naruto didn't care about anything else, but Obito's mention of the Sage made him calm down a little.
"Naruto, the Sage warned us—until he returns, we must not act rashly. If we give them a chance, our odds will drop. This is for the entire ninja world..."
But just then, a spatial ripple appeared, and both Obito and Naruto's faces lit up.
"Sage of Six Paths!"
"Grandpa Sage!"
They cried out in joy as the Sage appeared, his treasure flashing—Otsutsuki Hagoromo, bearded, having traversed space and time.
But to Obito and Naruto's shock, there were two Sages of Six Paths this time—plus a man with short golden hair.
"You! You're—"
Seeing him, Naruto was tongue-tied. The older face looked at Naruto with a nostalgic gaze, then pointed to his jacket with a bandaged hand.
"Seventh Hokage of Konoha—Naruto Uzumaki, reporting in!"
With a more mature smile, this Seventh Hokage was no longer just hot-blooded—he exuded steadiness.
Naruto, realizing the truth, shouted excitedly:
"I never thought I'd become Hokage in the future!"
While Naruto was excited, Obito was stunned by the two Sages.
The two Sages smiled and explained—
One was the Sage of this world, now without a body; the other, naturally, was the Sage from another world.
"Haha, with two Sages and my future self, this time, we're sure to win!"
Naruto pumped his fist in excitement.
"Alright, Naruto—don't get reckless," said the Sage, his expression grave.
"I know Uchiha Shirou and my mother—Kaguya Otsutsuki—better than any of you.
Shirou's power is terrifying. One-on-one, we may not win, and my mother, Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra, has now learned shinobi combat tactics and strategy...
Once, Kaguya had the greatest power but lacked battle experience. Now it's different—she's learned."
With the Sage's grave explanation, it was clear he was planning their tactics.
"I am now spirit and will. I'll merge with Naruto again. Our first plan is to draw Shirou out.
With the ninja world war underway, he must be curious about where we are. The first step is to sow confusion in his ranks..."
After the Sage outlined the plan, Naruto grinned, clapped his fists, and declared:
"Grandpa Sage, don't worry! Leave it to me and the future Hokage!"
The Seventh Hokage also smiled, raising his fist.
"That's right—no one is more suited than us!"
With Sage's nod, Obito's expression was grave, and Naruto and the Seventh Hokage formed hand seals for their best jutsu.
Shadow Clone Jutsu—Multiple!
…
On the battlefield, as Madara roared and finally broke Edo Tensei's control, countless golden figures suddenly appeared behind him.
"Haha, Naruto's army is here!"
"Yosh! Let's go!" The Seventh Hokage's clones charged ahead, all smiles.
"Everyone, don't be fooled! Sakura! Sasuke! Neji, everyone—this is a scheme! Everything is Uchiha Shirou's plot—even Granny Tsunade has been tricked..."
The golden Narutos shouted as they saw Konoha's shinobi.
But in the Konoha ranks, Namikaze Naruto had replaced Naruto's original position. Seeing this, Naruto's clones were furious.
"Everyone, I'm the real Naruto! He's just a fake!"
Naruto shouted, hoping his comrades would turn back.
But to his shock, he was met with cold stares.
"Naruto! Konoha's S-Class Jinchuriki rogue—kill on sight!"
"Naruto!" Sakura cried with tears streaming down her face, "Come back, Naruto! Don't fight against us anymore!"
Even Sasuke, in this world, looked at the golden Narutos with a complicated expression—but quickly suppressed it.
He'd been through much, even living in another world for five or six years. Now, he already had what he wanted there.
"Naruto! Don't be stubborn!"
The battlefield was chaotic—golden Narutos and Seventh Hokage clones everywhere.
Although clones consumed a lot of chakra, Naruto had both quantity and recovery.
"You've all been deceived by Uchiha Shirou—I'll wake you up!"
Countless golden Narutos roared and charged into the Edo Tensei ninja army, trying to stop everything.
"Don't be fooled—it's all a plot..."
"Get lost, you annoying brat!"
"Naruto, you bastard!"
"Kill him!"
The scene was utter chaos. Even a hundred thousand White Zetsu charged in, trying to force Shirou and Kaguya to reveal themselves.
In the hidden cave, the Sage, Obito, and the two Narutos watched the battlefield calmly.
"Naruto, don't be stubborn!"
Now, in Konoha, Sakura probably cared for Naruto the most, since Sasuke had settled elsewhere.
"Sakura! Don't you understand, either?"
Sakura, tears streaming down her face, punched a clone into smoke. Another clone angrily spoke.
Many clones tried to reason with their old friends.
"Kakashi-sensei, it's a plot!"
"Neji, believe me!"
"Sasuke, we're comrades..."
"Kiba, have you forgotten we're friends..."
But Naruto's famed talk-no-jutsu failed—his former friends just looked at him coldly.
"Pervy Sage, you—!"
Seeing Jiraiya, Naruto's pupils shrank in disbelief—even Jiraiya was here to stop him.
Jiraiya's face was full of complex emotions, but he took a deep breath and shouted:
"Naruto! You're working with Obito—did you forget who caused the Nine Tails disaster? Who made you grow up without parents? Information on Obito is public—how could you work with him? He's your parents' killer!"
Jiraiya could understand Naruto's will, but couldn't accept him working with his enemy.
Hearing this, Naruto's face was full of tears but showed determination.
"Pervy Sage! Don't insult Obito!"
Naruto shouted, "Obito has realized everything. As long as we trust each other, everyone is a comrade! Pervy Sage, I—"
But Jiraiya was left completely disheartened.
Looking into Naruto's clear eyes, there was no hatred—just as Shirou said, Naruto, corrupted by Asura's chakra, had become a tool of the Sage.
Such a person would lose their true self—even forgetting the hatred for his parents' killer.
