Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 163: Unstoppable, Crushing the Kages

"Is that the Ten-Tails' final form?"

Minato Namikaze stared at Obito's transformed appearance, his expression grave.

"No."

"That thing has become far more troublesome…"

"But it hasn't yet reached its ultimate form."

Inside Minato, Kurama's voice echoed with authority.

"It was consumed and utilized before it could fully mature."

---

"Sage Art: Gate of the Great God!"

Hashirama Senju arrived in a blur of motion, wasting no time.

Even with Obito now the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, Hashirama believed the Great God Gates could still suppress him.

The air rippled as massive red torii gates materialized in the sky, crashing down toward Obito.

Obito swiftly leaped to avoid them, but Hashirama had anticipated this.

More gates followed in rapid succession, sealing off all avenues of escape and burying Obito beneath a mountain of crimson gates.

Cheers erupted from the Shinobi Alliance at the sight.

---

But the celebration was short-lived.

With a faint hum, cracks spider-webbed across the gates before they shattered like brittle glass.

Emerging unscathed, Obito stepped forward, his expression cold and indifferent.

"He broke free!"

"That technique suppressed even the Ten-Tails itself! How did he…"

Tobirama was stunned. For the first time, he felt an icy chill of helplessness creeping into his heart.

---

"Let me make this clear," Hashirama said, stepping beside his brother.

"That man is stronger than I am."

His admission silenced everyone. Even Tobirama, normally dismissive of the Uchiha, could not hide his unease.

"What now, Hashirama?"

Tobirama rarely asked for advice, but this was no ordinary battle.

Their enemy was beyond anything they had faced before.

---

In the blink of an eye, Obito moved.

The black rods protruding from his body formed into a blade-like shield as he vanished and reappeared in the midst of the Allied Forces.

A swift motion, and the battlefield rang with the sound of tearing flesh.

---

Tobirama and Minato—cut in half.

Both halves of their bodies fell to the ground, their lower halves writhing as the Edo Tensei regeneration slowly began.

"His speed…!"

Minato's voice was pained but urgent.

"Everyone, retreat! He's beyond what you can handle!"

Hearing this, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and the remaining Kages scrambled to retreat.

---

"Big brother!"

Tobirama, his body half-regenerated, shouted at Hashirama.

"Do it now!"

Hashirama nodded, immediately understanding his brother's intent.

"Explode!"

Tobirama activated explosive tags he had secretly placed on Obito during their brief exchange.

The resulting explosion engulfed Obito in flames, and Hashirama wasted no time.

"Wood Release: Wood Binding Domination!"

Thick vines and branches erupted from the ground, wrapping around Obito as the explosion continued to rage.

---

Tobirama, dragging his damaged body forward, approached Obito.

"This… should slow him down."

"Mutual Multiplying Explosive Tags!"

With a flick of his hand, Tobirama summoned countless explosive tags, layering them atop Obito.

"Detonate."

---

The chain reaction of explosions created a roaring inferno that engulfed the battlefield for minutes.

Even the farthest edges of the Shinobi Alliance felt the heat of the flames and had to retreat further.

When the smoke finally cleared, they saw him.

---

Obito stood unharmed.

Not a single scratch marred his body.

---

Despair gripped the battlefield.

If Tobirama's relentless explosives couldn't even wound him, what could they do?

---

Obito didn't waste time basking in their fear.

With a flick of his hand, the black fluid surrounding him retracted and formed a sharp, flat shield.

He charged directly at Hashirama.

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Hashirama reacted instantly.

A massive forest erupted around him, tendrils of wood racing toward Obito to ensnare him.

But Obito's shield sliced through the forest like paper.

---

With his other hand, Obito formed a black sphere.

The sphere extended into a sharp rod that shot toward Hashirama faster than he could react.

It pierced through Hashirama's body, cutting him in two.

---

Obito moved in a blur, appearing in front of Hashirama.

Grabbing Hashirama's head with one hand, he crushed it with a spray of black energy.

The "God of Shinobi" was rendered powerless in seconds.

---

The Allied Shinobi stared in horror.

Their ultimate weapon—Hashirama Senju—had been utterly annihilated.

"No one can stop him…"

Despair washed over the battlefield.

---

"Obito has become like the Sage of Six Paths…"

Madara's voice carried over the carnage.

The Uchiha leader, watching from a distance, couldn't help but smirk.

"Though, if this continues, he might slip out of my control."

Madara turned his attention to the battlefield, his smirk fading into a serious expression.

"Black Zetsu."

A shadowy figure emerged at his command.

---

"Obito has gone rogue," Madara said coldly.

"It's time to act."

Zetsu nodded, a sinister glint in his eyes.

"Understood, Madara."

---

"Prepare to strike," Madara ordered, activating his Rinnegan.

"Limbo: Border Jail."

Four invisible clones emerged from Madara, moving toward the battlefield undetected.

---

Obito's domination of the Allied Forces continued.

Madara, however, was no longer content to watch.

He intended to seize control—at any cost.
