Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

The enormous roar shook the earth, and what could be seen was a one-eyed monster larger than a wooden golem or a tailed beast.

You can see it, but you can't perceive it.

Ten tails waved behind it, but the existence of this one-eyed monster seemed to blend into the world.

It was at this moment that the First Hokage, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, turned to ashes and vanished.

But the pressure on everyone did not disappear; instead, it became even heavier.

"Is this... the Ten-Tails?"

Sasuke has deciphered the stone tablet beneath the Uchiha Naga Shrine, and the Five Kage and some high-ranking members are already well aware of the necessary conditions for Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"How could that be?"

"We're still missing the chakra of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, why is that...?"

"Such a monster..."

At the same time, a bright light flashed in the distance.

An arrow, wreathed in black flames, pierced the sky and struck the massive body of the Ten-Tails.

Amaterasu's fire burned, and amidst the roar, the ten tails' howls echoed across the battlefield.

The fully formed Susanoo landed, and Sasuke frowned as he looked at the Ten-Tails opposite him.

so easy.

With Kagutsuchi combined with Amaterasu's fire, this attack was powerful, but Sasuke hadn't initially expected it to hit so easily.

The other party didn't even try to stop it. The inextinguishable nature of Amaterasu's fire means... does that mean the other party doesn't care?

"Sasuke!"

The golden light on its entire body dissipated, and the Nine-Tails, which had just fought against the Impure World First Hokage, also crumbled and disappeared not far away.

"How long can you hold out now?"

Naruto scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "A little over ten minutes, but it will definitely take longer next time."

Sasuke nodded, then looked down at the five Kage: "That guy used the Edo Tensei technique on Jinchuriki, along with the chains from the Rinnegan, to control six Tailed Beasts. Although I managed to stop most of them, their characteristics countered the Eight-Tails..."

The Fourth Raikage slowly rose to his feet. The battles of the past few days had left him exhausted, but the anger in his heart made him stare intently at the Ten-Tails in the distance.

Is it impotent rage?

That word really describes it vividly...

Through the command center's intervention, it became clear that the Edo Tensei was not dispelled because their side had found the caster, Orochimaru.

However, the other party dispelled the Impure World Reincarnation without any hesitation, the reason being the monster in front of them.

"Was it absorbed too?"

At that moment, tiger whiskers sprouted from Naruto's cheeks, and Kurama's voice rang out.

"You guys were too careless..."

"It seems that the resurrection of the Ten-Tails may not necessarily require gathering all the chakra of all the tailed beasts. The One-Tail to the Seven-Tail were absorbed, and one of the Eight-Tail's tentacles..."

"My chakra comes partly from the battle outside Konoha, but more of it comes from my other half, the Fourth Hokage resurrected through Edo Tensei."

The Nine-Tails' voice startled everyone.

Fourth Hokage?

Was the Fourth Hokage also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

"That man... more than ten years ago, he split me into Yin and Yang and sealed me into his own body and Naruto's body respectively."

"Originally, it might have been to pull half of my power into the Shinigami's body and seal it away forever, but now it seems that the caster of the Impure World Reincarnation has found a way to retrieve my soul from the Shinigami."

The Nine-Tails looked at the Five Kage: "The Ten-Tails, having obtained the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, is now able to unleash the Infinite Tsukuyomi. All resistance is now meaningless..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto's beard disappeared.

"Kurama, how can you say such discouraging things? I will definitely save you!"

Naruto's voice startled everyone around him.

At this moment, Naruto is still just a genin.

Even a genin, a genin who just protected everyone under that terrifying wooden dummy, hasn't given up. As a kage, how can you just admit defeat like this?

Oonoki, his clothes tattered and one of his slippers missing, got up, supporting his aching back.

"You brat, I've never said I'd admit defeat!"

The Fourth Raikage clenched his fist: "Yugito and Beethoven were killed by this guy. Whether it's for revenge or to protect this world, we have no reason to give up!"

Tsunade also said, "There was no choice to admit defeat from the very beginning of this war, because admitting defeat means death, and everyone will eventually die in the dream!"

"Boom boom boom..."

In the distance, a gigantic monster was crawling rapidly toward them.

Under immense pressure, Gaara echoed, "The alliance of the five great ninja villages means certain death if we fail. In this situation, fighting to the death is the only thing we should do."

Mei Terumi adjusted the Mizukage's straw hat: "If you die, you won't be able to get married..."

The next moment, golden chakra erupted from Naruto's body once again.

In Kurama Mode, the Nine-Tailed Fox condenses and takes shape once more.

"Sasuke!"

"ah."

Susanoo covered the entire body of the Nine-Tails, its two long swords swirling, with Amaterasu fire gathered on them by Kagutsuchi, and suddenly charged towards the Ten-Tails.

"boom!"

The collision was like the collapse of the heavens, but the real result was that the Nine-Tails, equipped with Susanoo, was slapped back.

The quicksand bound him, but he broke free in less than a second.

Dust Release was activated, and a piece of the tail fell off, but it quickly returned to its original state.

Obito, wearing a mask, stands atop the Ten-Tails' head. Behind him, the Ten-Tails' body forms a tubular structure connecting to the back of his head, while the First Hokage's cells fall down to connect and control it.

"Such power..."

Masked Obito looked at the group in front of him. Even the Nine-Tails, covered in Susanoo armor, was slapped away.

Such power... are you really not bothered by it?

Why hasn't it appeared yet? Is it because it underestimated the Ten-Tails? Or is it out of fear?

"Infinite Tsukuyomi is no longer my goal."

Obito's voice made everyone stop.

Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other from within the imposing Nine-Tails' body.

Sasuke spoke up, "You should understand that the Infinite Tsukuyomi will only kill everyone. If true peace means killing everyone, then such peace is meaningless!"

"I know..."

Obito said indifferently, "But similarly, how can this cursed world achieve true peace? The five great ninja villages, countless small countries, interests, resources, hatred, and struggles..."

"Perhaps only an existence like me, with the absolute power of the Ten-Tails, can surpass you. Just like Hashirama Senju, who was once known as the God of Shinobi, I need peace, so this world must be at peace..."

"Whoever starts a war, I will destroy him! From this day forward, I am the god of this world, standing in the heavens, and what I need is truth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito, wearing a mask, looked at Naruto.

"Therefore... for the power that God needs, hand over the Nine-Tails!"

"Hand it over, and the war will end!"

"From this day forward, everyone can live under God's peace!"

"Hand over the Nine-Tails, and the war will end!"

……

The sound from the Ten-Tails' massive body resounded across the battlefield. In an instant, apart from Sasuke, Kakashi, Tsunade, and other Konoha ninjas, everyone's gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, turned towards Naruto.

After several days of war, with the resurrected powerful ninjas and 100,000 White Zetsu, the Allied Shinobi Forces suffered too many casualties.

So many that by this moment, everyone, regardless of who they are, has someone they know who has died on the battlefield.

What began as anger has now transformed into fear in some people's hearts—fear of the even stronger monster before them.

Driven by this fear, their will to survive led them to consider the options offered by the other party.

……

Command.

Shikaku frowned deeply: "Inoichi, I need to connect everyone."

Yamanaka Inoichi was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily on his gear-covered head: "No problem, I can handle it!"

The next moment, Shikaku's voice echoed in the minds of all the ninjas still around the battlefield.

"Are you really willing to start today with a sharp blade hanging over your heads, ready to fall at any moment?"

"The lives of everyone in the world are in his hands. From this day forward, are you entrusting your lives to this ambitious man, this man who has killed countless of our comrades?"

"Once they surrender and submit, the alliance of the five great ninja villages will fall apart, and they will never be able to unite again, nor will they be able to resist him."

Is this really the peace we need?

"Because of Naruto and Sasuke, we had the opportunity to fight back; without them, we would have no choice at all!"

……

As Lu Jiu's voice fell, blood streamed from Hai Yi's face at the command post.

Even he couldn't bear such pressure.

"I'm sorry, Inoichi."

"It's...nothing. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground.

What he just said has far exceeded the time he can hold out.

But he had his own understanding...

……

On the battlefield, the Nine-Tails' vertical pupils within Naruto's body gleamed menacingly.

This time it chose to believe in Naruto, and Naruto did not disappoint it.

But what about humans?

In an instant, the malice that had just risen in their senses dissipated, and everyone's chakra seemed to have undergone a different change.

Nine-Tails' lips curled up.

Although the situation is still dire, there's at least a glimmer of hope...

A blond-haired, blue-eyed boy—so the person the old man was talking about back then was Naruto?

"Naruto."

"Huh? Boss Kurama, are we going to attack?"

The sealed land, the cage has now disappeared.

Kurama chuckled lightly: "There's no point in attacking now. Uchiha brat, you come in too."

Sasuke's consciousness also appeared beside Naruto.

Looking at the Nine-Tails before him, now freed from its seal, Sasuke said, "A tailed beast that has existed for thousands of years, you should be more aware of the Ten-Tails' weaknesses..."

The Nine-Tails rested its head on its paws: "So you're much stronger than this idiot."

"Who's the idiot? Who?"

Naruto looked around, and finally his gaze fell upon him, following the eyes of the man and the beast.

"Me? Boss Nine-Tailed Fox! I'm very smart!"

The Nine-Tails waved its paw: "Time is running out. Sometimes, clever people aren't suited for all tasks. The Ten-Tails' body combined with the power of the nine tailed beasts has created its current form."

"Judging from the time when the Eight-Tails was captured, the Ten-Tails' current state should not be stable, which is your opportunity."

"Naruto...you need to go inside the other person's body."

……

A dark place.

Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi simultaneously released the Impure World Reincarnation technique, both looking at the spatial passage in front of them.

The appearance of the Ten-Tails shocked all three of them.

Itachi, pinned to the rock wall as an exception, looked at the Ten-Tails and murmured, "Such power... Is becoming a god by wielding such power their true purpose?"

Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with excitement: "The power of the Sage of Six Paths... Even the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, didn't possess this level..."

Orochimaru then looked at Yun: "You don't seem nervous at all... I'm curious, what level have you reached?"

Uchiha Yun looked at the scene outside the spatial passage, but did not give a clear answer to the question.

"Thousands of years have passed since Hagoromo Otsutsuki cut the Ten-Tails' chakra to create the nine tailed beasts. This power of Yin-Yang Release, which created form from nothingness, gave the chakra its own consciousness."

"Over thousands of years, chakra with consciousness has developed a tendency to rebel. Being conscious means fearing true death and not wanting one's power to fall into the hands of an enemy."

A glint flashed in Kabuto's eyes: "Unstable, right?"

Unstable...

Itachi looked again at the Ten-Tails in the far distance outside the passage. Such a body contained so much will, even though the nine tailed beasts were naturally suppressed.

But instability is inevitable.

"So what about you? What is your purpose?"

Asking the question again, Uchiha Yun turned around and looked at the three of them.

"You see too little of this world, so you may not be able to understand my purpose."

"He gave up the Infinite Tsukuyomi because that technique would only kill everyone and turn them into White Zetsu, monsters that obeyed orders. He regained consciousness for some unclear reason, but the other person still hasn't."

"And what I need is precisely the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

Itachi immediately asked, "Your goal is to destroy this world?"

"No! That's not right! Under the Infinite Tsukuyomi, everyone will be trapped in a genjutsu. Even if you can save Izumi, Sasuke, and Aunt Hazuki, all their bonds are in this world. You can't do that!"

Yun chuckled lightly: "Why do you still have the nerve to call Ye Yue 'Auntie'? If it weren't for me back then, wouldn't you have wanted to kill her too?"

Itachi remained silent.

Orochimaru licked his lips and said, "Yun-kun... I'm just as curious, because in my opinion, your 'wind' shouldn't be on the path of destroying the world."

"I can sense that you're not disappointed in this world. On the contrary, you probably want to save it."

Yun did not answer. After a long while, everyone looked at the battlefield outside the passage again.

……

"boom!!!"

Lightning flashed as the Fourth Raikage, empowered by the Weighted Rock Technique, slashed down with his hand, striking back the Ten-Tails' One-Day Tail with all his might.

On the other hand, the technique of melting monsters swept through, but had little impact.

The sand and gravel flew through the air, but it seemed that the other party swung its tail and scattered them.

The nine tails descended, and the longsword parried, but the nine tails swept towards it.

For a moment, the battlefield resembled the end of the world, a battle between monsters, with the sky and earth collapsing.

……
