Chapter 232: Chapter 232: Ten Tails Lying Down?
The Ten Tails, which had just been about to devour Obito, froze.
Everyone watched in disbelief as a black Truth-Seeking Ball slammed into Obito's body.
Obito stared down at himself, utterly confused. Behind him floated a Truth-Seeking Ball, and in his hand appeared a Shakujo—the Sage's ceremonial tin staff.
"This is…" Madara looked at Obito in disbelief. "Did… the Ten Tails lie down for him?"
Wasn't it supposed to be me, the destined one, the only one who could truly tame the Ten Tails?!
Obito, who had just regained consciousness, felt the immense and boundless chakra surging within him.
"I… I'm invincible now!!" he shouted with wide, crazed eyes.
BOOM!
He was immediately kicked flying by Naruto.
"Mdzz!" Naruto muttered with disdain.
Obito: "???"
Lying in a crater, Obito slowly stood up, his face blank with confusion. He clearly hadn't processed what just happened.
If the Ten Tails had a voice of its own, it would surely have been yelling: "You dumbass! Laozi was so scared of that freak that I hid in your damn body, and now you're showing off like an idiot?!"
Obito slowly floated into the air, regaining some of his composure.
"Ahem… That must've been because I only just became the Jinchūriki. I haven't mastered this power yet," he muttered with false confidence.
Looking down at the battlefield, he said solemnly, "I now possess power equivalent to the Sage of Six Paths himself! You lot can't hurt me with your petty ninjutsu!"
"My abilities are based on Yin–Yang Release—they nullify all ninjutsu!"
"If natural energy is poured into it…" Naruto muttered from below.
The Truth-Seeking Ball in Naruto's hand slowly began merging with his palm again.
"Huh?" Obito frowned. "What the hell are you mumbling about now?"
BOOM!!
"Nani?!" Obito was kicked flying again, his eyes wide with confusion.
"Impossible!" he screamed midair. "I'm supposed to be invincible now! I'll create a world where Rin lives just for me!!"
Obito slammed his hands into the ground. A massive God Tree erupted into existence, rising high into the sky. From its branches bloomed cannon-shaped mouths like the ones the Ten Tails had used before.
"In this rotten world, there's nothing left worth protecting!" Obito shouted maniacally. "This world is already dead!"
From the four cannon muzzles on the God Tree, four massive Tailed Beast Bombs began forming—one in each direction!
"Nani?!" The Allied Shinobi Forces were horrified.
"He's firing in all directions?!"
"Even if all of us use Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall, it won't hold against four Tailed Beast Bombs!"
"We're finished…!"
"If we use Flying Thunder God Technique, we can only teleport one at a time!" Tobirama gritted his teeth.
"Such wishful thinking!" Obito roared. Six Truth-Seeking Balls shot into the sky and formed six black stakes, embedding themselves in a hexagonal pattern.
"Barrier Technique: Six Red Yang Formation!"
A massive hexagonal barrier instantly descended, enclosing the entire battlefield and cutting off all escape!
"Bastard!!" a shinobi from the Allied Forces screamed. "He's gonna kill us all?!"
"He sealed the barrier so the bombs don't leak out," Hashirama growled. "He's trying to wipe us all in one go."
"This war will end in an instant…" Obito said coldly. He slowly spread his arms as the Truth-Seeking Balls cloaked him.
"Perish, false world… I just want to see Rin in my dream…"
"Shit! He plans to obliterate everything inside the barrier!" someone shouted in panic. "What the hell do we do?!"
The Tailed Beast Bombs gathered in intensity. The light grew blinding.
Everyone stared at the death spheres in silence.
"I don't think you understand yet," Naruto suddenly said, voice quiet but sharp.
"I mean… you're the weakest one here."
Swish!
In an instant, Naruto drew Hyōrinmaru. The blade gleamed with pitch-black Armament Haki, coiling around it like a viper.
"Ichikatsurijuhe…" Naruto whispered as he moved into a drawing stance.
"Black Blade… Song of the Lion's Death!"
Swish.
The next moment, Naruto appeared behind the God Tree.
The immense tree, which had just been absorbing Chakra from the earth and sky, suddenly stilled.
Then… it began to wither.
Like a sponge being drained dry, the God Tree shriveled rapidly. In seconds, its thick trunk cracked with a loud snap! and broke at the root.
"IMPOSSIBLE!!" Obito roared as he stumbled from the barrier, his voice full of disbelief. "That's a part of the God Tree! How the hell did it break so easily?!"
"Damn it!" Obito growled, flustered. "I should've summoned the God Tree earlier!!"
With a violent shudder, the Ten Tails was expelled from Obito's body.
Its massive tails and limbs anchored themselves into the earth. From the flower bud-like shape on its back, a colossal tree trunk shot straight into the heavens.
From the trunk, countless roots burst forth like dragons, racing toward the Allied Shinobi Forces.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" shinobi screamed.
Every ninja who touched the roots was instantly drained of life—reduced to husks.
"Madara!" Hashirama shouted, leaping to avoid the roots. "What the hell is going on?! This thing came from your plan!"
"Hmph." Madara dodged effortlessly, his eyes dark. "This is the true origin of Chakra."
"All Chakra originally belonged to the God Tree. Back then, there was no such thing as Chakra. The people revered the tree as a god and forbade anyone from touching its fruit."
"But for the sake of war, one princess broke the taboo and consumed the Chakra Fruit. She gained immeasurable power and ended all conflict."
"That princess… was Ōtsutsuki Kaguya."
"The child she bore—the first human born with Chakra—was Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths."
"The God Tree, robbed of its fruit, turned into a monster—the Ten Tails—to reclaim the stolen Chakra. But the Sage of Six Paths defeated and sealed it away."
Madara's face twisted with madness.
"Do you understand now, Hashirama? Ever since I read the Uchiha Stone Tablet, I realized—there is no true dream in this world!"
"Ninjas are a symbol of stupidity… always fighting for illusionary ideals. So why not…"
He gestured toward the massive tree. "Why not use the God Tree to cast an illusion over everyone? Create an eternal peace through Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
Hashirama's brow furrowed. "That's your dream? Enslaving everyone in a genjutsu to escape reality?"
"Heh~" A low chuckle echoed.
Naruto stood calmly beneath the God Tree, staring up at Obito.
"Just a self-righteous idiot," he said coldly.
"What did you say?!" Madara's eyes burned with rage. "Don't you see the flowers on the tree? When they bloom, Infinite Tsukuyomi will activate!"
"What else do you think you can do?!"
"It's just another lie to fool people," Naruto replied, eyes narrowing. "Right, Black Zetsu?"
BOOM!! Countless roots surged toward Naruto.
"Eh~?" Naruto smiled mockingly. "Did that piss you off?"
With one swing of his Zanpakutō, he severed all the attacking roots in a single motion.
Suddenly, Obito's body was slowly engulfed in a black film.
"Impossible!!" Obito screamed. "What the hell are you?!"
The Shakujo in his hand transformed into a spear with a genetic helix pattern—the Spear of the Marsh.
Black Zetsu's voice echoed ominously.
"That weapon… is the blade of the Sage of Six Paths himself. You stand no chance."
"You still don't get it?" Naruto's voice echoed with eerie calm. "I said—don't underestimate me."
"I'm not some failure who only knows how to play with a few Truth-Seeking Balls…"
As he spoke, Naruto's entire body darkened, coated in pitch-black Haki.
He brought his hands together.
"After all… you're just a fragment of Kaguya's will. A mere consciousness clone."
Swish!
The next moment, Naruto appeared behind Obito.
A sharp metallic shiiing echoed—the sound of a blade returning to its sheath.
Chi—!!
Obito froze.
Then his body split cleanly in half—from the stomach down.
