"Did it work??"
Naruto's Shadow Clone looked expectantly in the direction of Uchiha Madara.
Gaara, too, was ready, with the sand around him constantly surging, poised to seal Uchiha Madara.
The spiral shuriken caused a huge explosion.
Dust clouded the battlefield, obscuring their vision.
But the next moment, everyone's expressions changed.
"You really brought me so many surprises, Colt."
Uchiha Madara's low voice emerged from the smoke as the wind blew it away, revealing his body intact.
"It's... the Rinnegan!"
Jiraiya stared in disbelief, staring at Uchiha Madara's purple Rinnegan.
"Are you surprised? These were originally my eyes."
Brushing the dust off his armor nonchalantly, Uchiha Madara replied coldly.
"Impossible!" Jiraiya denied.
"In the history of the ninja world, aside from Sage of Six Paths, only Nagato ever awakened the Rinnegan!"
"Nagato? That was just a pawn of mine..." Madara's voice was dismissive.
"His Rinnegan, I implanted it on him before my death."
Jiraiya's pupils shrank.
'If that is true…'
Then, everything he believed about Nagato being chosen by fate, blessed with divine eyes, was a lie.
It had all been part of Madara's plan.
At that moment, Colt's gaze shifted toward the direction of the Land of Hot Water.
Uchiha Madara mirrored his action, both feeling a powerful summons.
"Uchiha Madara, it's time to finish this."
The Third Hokage's body emerged from hiding, but Orochimaru's voice was unmistakable.
"Hmph, so even you, a snake hiding in the shadows, desire the power of the Ten-Tails."
Madara scoffed.
He attempted to resist Orochimaru's control but was surprised by the overwhelming force preventing him from breaking free.
This Orochimaru was significantly stronger, being considered as a pseudo-ten-tails jinchuuriki.
"It seems you are not entirely useless."
Madara, realizing the futility of resistance for now, accepted Orochimaru's orders, though his Rinnegan locked onto Colt with a look of regret.
"I had hoped to enjoy our battle longer, but it appears that won't be possible."
With that, the Susanoo enveloped Madara once again, this time with two heads and four arms.
Moments later, two coffins appeared, taking in Madara and the Third Hokage before sinking into the ground.
As the sky darkened, everyone turned their attention upwards.
The air grew dense, and above them loomed an enormous shadow—a meteorite.
"Th-this...!"
A collective gulp echoed across the battlefield. Even Onoki and Gaara trembled in the face of such overwhelming power.
"Quick! Colt, use the Flying Thunder God to get us out of here!" Jiraiya shouted, trying to remain calm.
He knew Colt had the Flying Thunder God Technique and felt reassured despite the immense threat.
But Colt only smiled, seemingly amused.
"No need. I've got another way to handle this."
His eyes gleamed with excitement.
The meteorite had piqued his interest as the perfect "toy."
Activating his right eye, the hidden power of Sukunahikona finally came into play.
The colossal meteorite with smaller ones around it began to shrink rapidly.
One, two, three.
Before it touched the ground, the meteorites had shrunk to the size of marbles.
With a flick of his hand, Colt caught the three marbles and toyed with them.
"Not bad. I'll give them to Madara as a parting gift," he said, nodding in satisfaction as he weighed the marbles in his hand.
The others, however, were dumbstruck.
Was this still the world of ninjas? One person can summon a meteorite, and another shrinks it to the size of a toy?
Colt turned to the group, snapping them out of their daze.
"Come on. I can already sense a massive Chakra approaching."
Meanwhile, Naruto and Sasuke were still engaged in battle.
Naruto in Sage Fox Mode had been overpowering Sasuke's full-body Susanoo from the start.
Sasuke, despite his Uchiha lineage, couldn't match Naruto's stamina and relentless power.
"Sasuke!"
But just as Naruto was about to land the last blow needed to incapacitate Sasuke, a masked man appeared and whisked Sasuke away using a strange ability.
"Where did they go?"
Naruto started looking.
Following the masked man's trail, Naruto, with his enhanced perception thanks to the Nine-Tails, tracked him to Kakashi's battlefield.
With Naruto's help, they managed to wipe out the reanimated army and the Six Paths of Jinchūrikis summoned by the masked man.
However, the masked man wasn't done.
He summoned the incomplete Ten Tails.
Though lacking some parts of its body and chakra, the beast was still overwhelmingly powerful.
Thankfully, reinforcements arrived as Tsunade, the Raikage, and Terumi Mei, transported by the Flying Thunder God, joined the battlefield.
Together, the three Kages led their forces to distract the Ten-Tails while Naruto and Kakashi focused on the masked man and Sasuke.
During a grueling fight, Kakashi discovered that his Kamui was linked to the masked man's abilities.
Using this knowledge, they sent Naruto's Shadow Clone into the Kamui dimension.
With perfect timing, the clone landed a Rasengan on the masked man, shattering his mask.
The mastermind behind the chaos, the one who had incited the Fourth Great Ninja War, was finally unmasked.
"Obito... it's really you!"

****************
Upon seeing the face revealed after the mask was broken, Kakashi instantly recognized it, even after more than ten years.
Although he had some doubts about the identity of the masked man, until the last moment, Kakashi still didn't want his inner guess to come true.
Now that his identity was discovered, Obito stopped pretending and asked with a snort.
"Kakashi, is my eye working well for you?"
Even though there was only Sasuke by his side, as long as he had the Ten-Tails under his control, Obito was not afraid of facing the entire ninja coalition.
At this moment, the Ten Tails had evolved to the second stage.
The nine eyes on its face had merged into one, and legs had grown under its body, allowing it to stand upright.
It looked terrifying.
Tsunade was taken aback by Obito's identity.
She had heard the name before—Obito, the disciple of Namikaze Minato, and one of the heroes of the Konoha Village.
But the man who should have been remembered as a hero now stood here, alive, as the mastermind behind all of this chaos.
"Hehe, it's Konoha again..." Terumi Mei remarked with a smirk after figuring out the masked man's identity.
"At this point, we can't call it the Ninja World War; we should call it Konoha's internal chaos."
Hearing this, Tsunade's face darkened in embarrassment, but she could only take the insult in silence.
"Obito, why are you doing these things? And how could you do that to Kushina-sama…?" Kakashi's voice trembled with disbelief, struggling to understand how his friend could have become this way.
"The moment you killed Rin with your own hands, Kakashi, Obito was already dead to this world," Obito interrupted, his voice cold and unwavering.
"The purpose of my existence now is to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create a world where Rin exists!"
Obito didn't give Kakashi a chance to speak further.
With a single hand, he directed the Ten-Tails, whose massive chakra began to condense within its mouth.
The ninja army instantly became tense, recognizing the impending danger.
This scene had happened before; if it hadn't been for Naruto's intervention in the [Sage Mode], forcing the Tailed Beast Bomb off track, most of them wouldn't be standing here right now.
"Naruto, this chakra is even more terrifying. Even we can't stop it!" Kurama's voice echoed in Naruto's mind, filled with concern.
"For the people behind us, Kurama, we can't back down!" Naruto responded firmly; his eyes filled with determination.
His figure once again transformed into the massive energy form of a demon fox, ready to defend those behind him.
Suddenly, in the middle of Obito's chakra manipulation, his chest was pierced by a hand full of lightning.
As Obito struggled to control the Ten-Tails, he didn't account for the vulnerability of his position.
Sasuke, who had appeared to be his ally, launched a sudden sneak attack!
"You!" Obito turned his head, disbelief and confusion evident in his eyes.
Blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.
He had convinced himself that he had successfully manipulated Sasuke's hatred for Konoha, and during the previous battle, Sasuke had even defended him multiple times from Naruto's attacks.
How could he betray him now?
Sasuke shook his head, his expression one of mockery and disdain.
"So, the Uchiha fell because of fools like you and Itachi? Pathetic."
This shocking betrayal left the entire ninja alliance momentarily speechless, and the Ten-Tails ceased its chakra buildup.
The impending catastrophe was narrowly avoided.
Naruto, initially confused by the situation, quickly realized what had happened and grinned.
"Sasuke! I knew you wouldn't be my enemy!"
"Shut up!" Sasuke snapped coldly.
"This masked man is the enemy who destroyed my Uchiha clan, and Konoha is no better!"
He had been waiting for the right moment to strike, and now that moment had come.
However, as Sasuke prepared to leave the top of the Ten-Tails, he felt an unusual emptiness.
It turned out that Obito had activated [Kamui], phasing into a different dimension.
Though he managed to escape, the injury to his chest was critical.
"Did he escape? No matter, his heart has been pierced. He won't survive much longer," Sasuke muttered, his eyes narrowing as he prepared to move on.
But before he could take another step, a uniquely shaped kunai landed at his feet.
Swish!
A golden flash swept by, and two figures appeared before Sasuke—Orochimaru and the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato.
"Orochimaru!"
"Dad?!"
Sasuke's eyes widened in shock.
Orochimaru's appearance had undergone a drastic transformation.
His long black hair had turned completely white, and his usual outfit had been replaced by a Haori adorned with the Tomoe symbol.
His once cold and eerie demeanor had shifted to something more ethereal and serene.
Sasuke's eyes darted between the two figures, and realization suddenly struck.
Naruto had called out "Dad" earlier, but he had been addressing Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage.
The realization left Sasuke even more stunned.
Naruto, just as shocked, stammered, "Dad… I-I didn't expect to see you like this…"
Minato scratched his head with a sheepish smile.
"Sorry about that, Naruto."
Meanwhile, Orochimaru spoke up, his expression gleaming with satisfaction.
"Sasuke-kun, thanks to your surprise attack, you've saved me a lot of trouble dealing with the masked man—no, Uchiha Obito."
Grinning, Orochimaru extended his hand, and a small white snake slithered out from his sleeve, biting Sasuke on the neck.
Sasuke didn't even have time to blink before it was over.
"Don't resist. This is a gift—Hashirama's cells. With them, you'll be able to stand on par with Naruto."
Sasuke initially wanted to object but when he heard that, he remained silent.
The thought of falling behind Naruto weighed too heavily on his mind, and he ultimately stopped resisting the snake's influence.
Satisfied with Sasuke's compliance, Orochimaru nodded, then turned his attention to the bewildered ninja alliance.
"To prevent you from interfering while I absorb the Ten-Tails, I believe it's time to show you my collection."
With a sinister grin, Orochimaru clasped his hands together.
Summoning Technique!
Five coffins emerged from the ground.
As the wooden caskets creaked open, Tsunade's eyes widened in horror, unable to believe what was unfolding before her.
