Chapter 587: 552. Ten-Tail’s Jinchuriki
"Hmm… there is someone on top of the Ten-Tail." The members of the Hyuga clan observe.
"Who's he?"
The sensors at the HQ also notice the disturbance.
"This chakra signature… he is Obito."
"Obito?! How did he get there?" Rasa murmur.
"He can use a Spacetime Ninjutsu, so it's easy for him to infiltrate the barrier." Shikaku remarks.
"But what's he doing there?" Onoki asks.
Suddenly, Hiashi's eyes narrow.
"We have to stop him!" Hiashi notices the chakra fluctuations.
"It's too late!" Shikaku sighs.
Swirl… Swoosh…
Suddenly, the Ten-tail's enormous body shrinks rapidly. The Ten-tail turns into chakra and fills the chest cavity in Obito's heart.
"Those hand signs he was weaving… it was to seal a tailed beast." Kushina's voice echoes in their ears.
"And…"
The group glances at the rapidly shrinking body of the Ten-tails. The Ten-Tail's chakra envelops Obito and his chakra signature disappears from the radar of the Sensor.
"…Looks like he has succeeded in sealing the Ten Tail inside him," Tsunade adds.
SHOOM…
A giant, human-sized white cocoon appears at the previous position of the Ten-tail.
Thump… Thump…
A faint heartbeat echoes throughout the battlefield. One after another, several pulses of chakra escape from the cocoon.
The chaotic chakra and nature energy inside the barrier surges towards the cocoon's location. The entire chakra funnels into the cocoon and pours into it.
ARGH… UGH…
Obito's pained cry echoes on the battlefield. A few seconds later, the cries die down.
"Did he succeed or… did he fail?"
The shinobis gulp their saliva and warily glance at the huge cocoon.
"He should fail, right? There is no way someone can control such a huge-tailed beast with their body."
However, their hopes dash the next second.
Crack… crack…
Several cracks spread across the surface of the cocoon.
BANG…
With a loud noise, the cocoon shatters into several crystal fragments, revealing a white-humanoid figure within it.
"That… that's the Ten-tail's Jinchuriki!" Naruto's lips tremble as he speaks.
Even the expression of various Kages, commanders, and vice-commanders turns ugly. They glance at Obito with fear in their eyes.
"The Ten Tail possess immense power to destroy the entire world. Earlier, it didn't have a proper conscious, only survival instincts. But now, all that power… it's under someone's control. I can't even imagine the power someone like him possesses now." Onoki remarks.
"The current Obito possesses the same level of power as the Sage of Six Paths. With this power, he can reshape the entire world as he pleases. He can create or destroy continents at will. Even creating another moon isn't too difficult for him." Kurama's voice echoes in everyone's ears.
Gulp…
A few elite shinobis gulp their saliva.
"How do we even fight something like that?" They ask.
The Konoha 12 also gathers at another location.
"What's going on?" Kiba asks as Akamaru shivers due to the ominous chakra.
"Ten tail is completely absorbed into that man. Based on looking at the chakra." Neji and Hinata survey inside the barrier.
Soon, the cocoon shatters in their vision to reveal Obito. His appearance has changed drastically.
Obito's hair became entirely white. His skin tone turned white. Ten spiky protrusions emerge from his back—five near his shoulders and five near his hips—as well as a black assortment of ten magatama markings appeared on his back; one large one, with a black Rinnegan-like pattern within it, and nine smaller ones arranged in rows of three below it. In addition, the entire right half of his body gained a scale-like pattern across it, replacing the previous scars.
"He has become much creepier than before. And even as we speak, he is getting stronger and stronger." Naruto inspects Obito's current appearance.
"Naruto, what do you mean?" Gaara turns to Naruto.
"I can sense it, his body… it's rapidly absorbing the nature energy from the surroundings. His chakra reserves are rising rapidly."
Obito slowly raises his head and glances toward the Allied Shinobi force.
Swoosh…
He slowly levitates in the air and flies in their direction.
"He's coming!"
The Kages and commander go on full alert. They take a combat stance, ready to engage in another life-death battle.
Shoom…
Obito flies in front of them within seconds.
"So fast!" A comment.
BANG…
Obito's body slams into the barrier. The glass-like structure of the barrier appears in front of him. The Fuinjutsu runes of the light flicker with chakra.
Obito pauses in his tracks and inspects the barrier. He clenches his hand in a fist and smashes it into the barrier.
BANG…
A massive dent appears on the surface of the barrier. Several layers of barrier shatter with that punch.
The people outside of the barrier are also forced back by the shockwaves of the punch.
"So strong!" Tsunade's eyes narrow.
"That attack had no chakra. It was all physical strength." She adds.
"Even his physical strength has increased to such an extent." The shinobis have an incredulous expression on their faces.
BANG… BANG…
Obito punches the surface of the barrier twice. There is no damage except for some dents. The barrier refuses to budge. Even those dents revert to normal after a few seconds.
"He can't break through the barrier…"
Fwoosh… Fwoosh…
Suddenly, five crimson flames light up on the spiky protrusion on his back. The flames morph into gigantic chakra hands.
The expression of the shinobi turns somber.
"What's he doing?" Someone asks.
"Those hands… they look like my chakra arms." Naruto murmurs.
Fwish… Fwish… Fwish…
The next instant, the giant crimson chakra hands grab the surface of the barrier.
"What's he doing?"
Swish…
A tearing second echoes throughout the battlefield. Obito's giant chakra hands rip apart the surface of the indestructible barrier with ease.
Guffaw…
Several shinobis puke out a mouthful of blood as a result of the backlash.
"He precisely targeted the weak spots of the barrier. Then he used these weak spots to tear it down in a single instant without providing it an opportunity to regenerate." Kushina's voice lingers in the heads of the shinobis.
"The indestructible barrier… he… he broke it?" Slight panic ensues on the battlefield. Sweat trickles down the forehead of the shinobis as, without the protection of the barrier, Obito's immense chakra overwhelms them.
"Is it me? Or is he stronger than when he was in the gigantic form?" Bee gulps his saliva.
"Before, it was just mindlessly throwing its power around. But now, it's all focused in the hands of that one man."
"Everyone, keep your guard up! We don't know what that man, who made the Ten-tail's power his own, might do!" Sakumo quickly takes control of the situation.
His magnetic voice eases the worries in their heart and the shinobis enters their formations.
Shoom…
Obito flies out from the restriction of the barrier and lands in front of the group of Kages.
"He's coming! Get ready, Naruto!" Kurama warns Naruto.
Obito levitates in the air and glances at the people in front of him.
He slowly stretches his right hand and opens his palm.
Swirl…
A massive amount of elemental chakra gathers in his palm.
"What's he doing?" The shinobis stares at him in confusion while maintaining his guard.
"That's…"
Suddenly, a memory flashes past Naruto's mind.
"It's the same technique as Izuna Nii-san!"
The large amount of elemental chakra turns into five black Truth-seeking balls. These Truth-seeking balls revolve into Obito's palm and fly toward his back. They float in mid-air and form a half-halo behind him.
"This is Izuna Nii-san's technique!" Naruto points towards the floating black balls behind Obito.
"What?!" All Kages and the commander turn their attention to him.
"Umm… I mean, this technique is similar to Izuna Nii-san's technique." Naruto corrects himself.
"Naruto is right!" Tsunade and Mei also agree with him.
Both of them have seen Izuna's technique several times.
"What does this technique do?" The rest of the shinobis also perk up their ears.
"Don't be fooled by the small appearance of these orbs of chakra in his hands. Each of these orbs possesses the full power of an S-rank jutsu and can obliterate an entire village in an instant." Tsunade explains.
"These orbs are a combination of all five elemental chakras and thus are higher than Lord Tsuchikage's Particle Style," Mei adds.
"What?!" Even Onoki is shocked by this revelation.
"I thought combining three elements was the limit. But to think about combining all five elements… that… that's impossible!" He shakes his head in disbelief.
"It's possible!"
"However, the requirements to fulfill the necessary conditions are so extreme that it seems impossible. However, Izuna's success is the most definitive proof."
Obito stretches his hand, and an orb flies into his palm.
"So, what are the powers and weaknesses of these orbs?" Rasa questions.
That floating orb emits a sense of dread and palpitation in everyone's heart.

Chapter 588: 553. Reunion of Old Friends
The shinobi silently stares at the floating black orbs behind Obito's back.
Each of these orbs possesses the power to obliterate an entire village in an instant and now Obito possesses six of them.
The Kages observe Obito's every movement while listening to Tsunade's explanation.
"These Truth-seeking orbs are made of malleable chakra. They can alter their form according to the user's wish." Tsunade continues.
"The user can summon them to his side whenever he needs. While in an inactive state or standby state, they take the shape of orbs. Once active, they can alter their shape at the will of the user. From offense to defense, these orbs possess all kinds of power."
The Kages stare at the five inactive Truth-seeking orbs behind Obito's back.
"Since they are made of all five elemental chakra nature, their power is far greater than Kekkei Genkai or Kekkei Tota. As such, they possess the characteristics of all elemental Kekkei Genkai. They can instantly turn any matter that touches them into dust. So, avoid physical contact with them at all costs."
This revelation shocks the Kages and the Shinobis.
"Also, unlike other techniques, these orbs can be retrieved by the user after every attack. So, they are non-expandable. Each of these orbs is semi-autonomous and can act on its own to protect the user. Not only that, these orbs can negate all kinds of Ninjutsu after infusing them with Yin-Yang chakra. So, they are much stronger than the absolute defense of Susanoo and Sand Release. In other words, these orbs are the peak of nature and shape transformation and can counter all genjutsu and Taijutsu techniques."
"He is coming!"
Gaara warns everyone as Obito makes his move.
Whoosh…
He flickers in front of the group at breakneck speed.
Bang…
Naruto and Tsunade flicker in front of Obito and attacks him Taijutsu.
HAAH…
Both of them kick Obito's body.
Whoosh…
The Truth-seeking orb around him quickly creates a shield and blocks their kicks.
Whoosh…
Both Tsunade and Naruto swiftly retreat. The next second, a massive crimson chakra fist smashes their previous position.
"Naruto and Fifth Hokage… they… how are they able to touch those Orbs?" Onoki and others are flabbergasted by this.
"That's the weakness of those orbs." Kushina's voice informs them.
"The weakness of these orbs is Senjutsu or Sage energy. They can't negate nature energy, so only someone with proficiency in Senjutsu can fight their wielder. Also, there is an effective range of 70 meters for these orbs to work autonomously and return to their user. Once these orbs are out of that range, the user will lose control of them unless he re-enters that range."
"In that case… let me help too!" Jiraiya claps his hands and enters Sage Mode.
He also dashes towards Obito and joins the battle with Naruto and Tsunade.
"I will help too!"
Mei also activates the recovered Sage seal on his hand and joins the battle. Kimimaro also activates his seal and attacks Obito from a distance.
As for the rest of the shinobis, they witness the battle from a distance and analyze Obito's techniques, power, and weakness from a distance.
After some observation, Sakumo is the first to comment.
"His reaction speed is slower than before. He can move quickly in a linear direction, but turning and performing other actions is quite slow."
Sakumo isn't the only person to notice this. Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Naruto, who are fighting against Obito, also notice this weakness.
"Kurama, what's going on? As Ten-tail's Jinchuriki shouldn't be quite strong. Then why is he so weak?" Naruto asks Kurama.
Bang… Bang…
Soon, Obito is beaten back and forth by the trio, as he is unable to react to any of their movements.
"I see! So, that's how it is." Kurama concludes after some observation.
"Currently, this fellow Obito… despite being the Jinchuriki of the Ten-tail; he isn't in control," Kurama explains.
"It's similar to other Jinchuriki's situation. A perfect Jinchuriki is in sync with the tailed beast and can freely control the Tailed beast's power. However, unlike other tailed beasts, the Ten-tail is special." Kurama continues.
"How is it special?" Naruto asks in confusion while resisting another attack from Obito.
He barely dodges Obito's Truth-Seeking Orb strike by a hair's breadth.
"Unlike other tailed beasts with their individual personality and will, Ten-tail is just a messy, chaotic consciousness of emotions and nature energy. So it's extremely difficult to communicate with those messy thoughts and gain control. Only someone with a powerful willpower can handle the burden of those chaotic thoughts. If not, the person will slowly lose control and the Ten Tail will erase his personality. So, currently, Obito's consciousness is in a battle with Ten-tail's eroding thoughts in his mindscape. The current him is acting on instincts."
"I see!"
"That makes sense!"
Naruto relays Kurama's words to the rest of the shinobis.
"What will happen if Obito loses the consciousness battle with the Ten Tail?" Someone at HQ questions.
"The Ten Tail will resurface and Obito will die!" Kurama gives a simple answer.
And true enough, Obito slowly opens his eyes. He is surrounded by darkness in all directions.
"Where am I?" He stares at his surroundings.
"Who am I?" Obito glances at his hands.
Several messy thoughts and noise ring in his surroundings. The intensity of these voices slowly increases.
Argh…
"Stop!"
Obito blocks his ears with his hands and yells. However, the voices continue to grow louder and louder.
AAH…
Obito screams in pain as the voices slowly drown his consciousness.
-------------------
Hmm…
Hashirama, Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Mito, who were flying with Itachi and Sasuke, suddenly frown.
They glance toward the battlefield.
"What's happening?" Confusion appears on their face.
"The Ten Tail… it's chakra signature… it's gone!" Mito opens her mouth.
"How is that possible? Did they seal it?" Hiruzen remarks.
"That shouldn't be the case!" Sasuke and Itachi hesitate and answer.
Currently, they haven't received any news from HQ about this matter. If the Allied Shinobi forces sealed the Ten Tail, the war would already be over.
However, theY can still sense several chakra signatures still gathered on the battlefield.
"In that case… something must have happened!" Itachi comments.
"And sure enough…"
Shoom…
Suddenly, a powerful chakra signature appears in the distance. This chakra signature seems to be much more powerful than the Ten Tail.
"This chakra signature…" The eyes of the three Kages and Mito narrow.
"It's Obito! He sealed the Ten tail inside him and became its Jinchuriki!" Kushina informs them.
"What? The Ten Tail has a Jinchuriki now!" The expression of everyone turns ugly.
"Naruto, Tsunade, and Jiraiya are fighting against him," Kushina adds.
"Tsunade is fighting him. I must hurry up!" Mito's expression turns grim.
Hashirama also senses Obito's overwhelming chakra signature.
"I'll be blunt. This guy Obito… he seems to be stronger than me now!"
"No offense, but it seems so!" Hiruzen also agrees.
"Elder Brother, even if you are reincarnated at your peak with a living body, you still won't be his match." Tobirama remarks.
"I know! That's why we must hurry up. Or that's what I would like to do… however…"
The group glances at the ground.
"HAASHHIRAAMAA!!"
Madara's excited voice falls in their ears.
"It's Madara." The group's expression turns ugly.
Madara summons his Susanoo and fires a giant Yasaka Magatama towards the group.
Bang…
The Yasaka Magatama explodes, and the group is forced to stop.
"Let's go down!" After some thinking, Hashirama suggests.
"It's fine!" Tobirama nods.
So, the group lands on the ground and confronts Madara.
Hmm…
Madara scrutinizes the group in front of him.
"Now that's quite a line-up you have." He chuckles and remarks.
"Those eyes…" Hashirama and Tobirama stare at Madara with narrowed eyes.
"Rinnegan?!" Itachi answers.
"Rinnegan?! The eyes of the Sage!" The group is surprised to hear this.
"Madara, how do you have those eyes?" Hashirama points a finger at Madara and demands.
"Heh! If you want the answer, then come and fight me." Madara readies his gunbai and battle axe.
"Madara, we don't have time for your games. The Ten Tail's Jinchuriki is rampaging on the battlefield. If he is left alone, then the entire world will turn upside down." Tobirama snorts.
"That's your problem to think! It's none of my business."
Whoosh…
Madara flickers in front of the ground and attacks.
Bang…
Hashirama blocks Madara's attack with his Wood Release. His battle axe only leaves a few scratch marks on the hard defense of Hashirama.
"As expected, the mastery of your wood release is still the best. Your granddaughter can't even compare." He chuckles and swings his battle axe for another round.
Bang… Bang…
Both Madara and Hashirama trade blows.
"What?! Tsunade can also use the wood release." This revelation surprised the rest of them.
"Not only her, even Madara can use the wood release," Kushina reveals to them.
And sure enough, a wooden spike protrudes from Madara's hand and pierces through Hashirama's shoulder.
"You seem to have gotten rusty, Hashirama!" Madara laughs.
Snap… Crack…
Hashirama grabs the wooden spike and crushes it with his hands.
"No wonder! Earlier, I felt a familiar sensation in your body. So, you are using my cells to use the Wood Release." Hashirama points a finger towards Madara.
In the eyes of others, his behavior is similar to a kid who accuses someone of cheating after losing a fight.
"Hehe… it's not stealing. It's my spoil of the previous battle." Madara flickers towards Hashirama.
"HASHIRAMAAA!"
"MADARAAA!"
