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.
