1 Prologue: Beginning Part 1

Prologue: Beginning Part 1

(Starting from Naruto Manga Chapter 652: Naruto's Inner Conflict)...

During the climax of the most brutal war in the Shinobi World, the 4th Great Shinobi War, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke were able to slice through the current Juubi Jinchuuriki, Uchiha Obito, successfully after an exhausting long and hard battle. With the help of the Konoha 11, minus Sakura Haruno who is working with Tsunade Senju to heal the Shinobi Alliance as Neji Hyuga had sacrificed himself to protect Naruto from the Juubi's attacks, the Susanoo Armor clad-Bijuu Sage Mode pierced through Obito's flesh in the hopes of defeating the Juubi Jinchuuriki and stopping the Shinju's flower from blooming; halting the Infinite Tsukuyomi's activation.

The slash from the Senjutsu and Kyuubi powered Susanoo sword damaged Obito's body, and the massive wound released a large torrent of chakra from the Juubi that is currently sealed within him. The torrent of chakra divided into nine streams, each of the chakra streams tip formed the heads of the nine Bijuus and/or part of the Bijuus chakra that are currently within the Gedo Mazou which served as the body of the Juubi.

Naruto and Kurama noticed the chakra streams so they channeled the chakras from the 7 Bijuus within him onto his tails. Each tails matched the specific torrents of their chakra. The chakras collided and once connected, Naruto and Kurama started to yank out the Bijuus from out of Obito's body. Since Naruto doesn't have the chakra of the Hachibi and the Ichibi, Subaku no Gaara and Killer Bee helped out by pulling the Hachibi's and the Ichibi's chakra stream from Obito as they have connections with the 2 Bijuus being their recent Jinchuurki.

But with the power of the Rinnegan and the Gedo Mazou still within Obito, the chakra-tug-of-war is working on Obito's favor as he actually reversed the situation and started pulling out Kurama and Gyuki's chakra away from Naruto and Killer Bee. Naruto's determination also slightly faltered after seeing Obito's memories since the two are linked with each other through their Chakra.

However, Uchiha Sasuke increased the power of his Cursed Seal-enhanced Susanoo. He used one of the Susanoo Chakra Arms to grab the Chakra torrent and pull them in Naruto's favor, helping his former teammate in pulling out the Bijuus out of Obito. The Konoha 11 also jumped in and joins the chakra-tug-of-war to help their batch mates in this fierce struggle. And then, with Shikamaru's instructions, the entire Shinobi Alliance also ran to their aide even if they don't have any idea on how to help in this titanic struggle of godly powers.

Minato Namikaze, the 4th Hokage was resurrected as an Edo Tensei along with the other past generation Hokages by Orochimaru, saw these and this made him realize how great his son has become even without him and his mother Kushina Uzumaki by his side. Naruto has befriended the Yang half of Kurama, and was even able to use the full extent of the beast's powers to assist the Shinobi Alliance in the current war. Even the Yin Kurama that is sealed within Minato through the Shiki Fujin Seal, also admired how Naruto was able to change his other half.

And to top it all off, Naruto became the very strength and heart of the entire Shinobi Alliance fighting in the War. His son has already surpassed him in every possible way that he could possibly think of. He's becoming a legend that everyone acknowledges right in front of his eyes. And right now, even now he can see his son's potential to surpass all the previous Hokage. That's why he will do everything within his power to assist his son within this battle no matter the cost.

Minato, on his current Kurama Chakra Mode, used Hiraishin to the nearest marked location where the chakra-tag-of-war is happening and used the blinding speed buff provided by Kurama Chakra Mode to get to the chakra streams. And then, by tapping further into Yin Kurama's chakra, he created durable, rope-like tangible chakra that the Shinobi Alliance used to assist Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, Killer Bee and the Konoha 11 in pulling out the Bijuus from within Obito. He then grabbed the chakra streams with multiple Chakra Arms, while the Alliance used the distributed Chakra Ropes for assistance in pulling out the Bijuus.

With the entire Alliance assisting Naruto, they were able to bring the tug-of-war into a stalemate. But this is still not enough, as Obito still has the power of the Shinju on his disposal. With Naruto and Kurama, who were fighting for so long during this war with everything that they had, it was then that the Yin Kurama within Minato realized that this would not be enough to successfully yank out the other Bijuus.

Using the chakra stream as a medium, Yin Kurama communicated with Naruto and Yang Kurama, Killer Bee and Gyuki, Minato and also Gaara. Their consciousness was then sent within an empty space (the very same space where Naruto reasons out Obito. (Note that Obito and Naruto haven't talked yet within that space in this fanfic).

- Mindscape Discussion -

"Naruto, Minato, Gyuuki's Jinchuuriki, and Kazekage brat," Yin Kurama said to gain the attention of those that he wanted to communicate with. "I believe it is time to end this prolonged child's play."

"The other Kurama..." Naruto said while his own Kurama smirked towards his darker half.

"Kyuubi..." Minato muttered to the Bijuu within him. Gaara on the other hand just looked towards the dark version of the Kyuubi, but displayed no fear on his face since he already understood who the Bijuus are.

"The Kyuubi is doubled, I can smell trouble! Yeah!" Killer Bee said using his usual rapping tone despite the Alliance's current predicament. Gyuuki sighed exaggeratedly while watching how his host behaved.

"Are you sure about this, my other half?" Naruto's Kurama said towards Yin Kurama.

"This is the only way. We are dealing with the Juubi's Jinchuuriki here after all. Even if his power is still way below the power of the Rikudo Sennin, he still has the power of the Six Paths. So even if he doesn't have the full power of the Hachibi and the two of us, his power is more than enough to obliterate this Alliance of yours if he isn't playing around." Yin Kurama replied.

"What are you intending to do then?" Gaara calmly asked.

"I believe that the time has come for the two Kyuubis to become a single entity once again. That is our only hope against the Juubi Jinchuuriki." The Yin Kurama said with resolute expression.

"You mean, you want to become complete again, Kyuubi?" Minato said with surprise. "I had divided the original Kyuubi's chakra in half, creating the two of you, the Yin and Yang Kyuubi's, with Naruto as the Jinchuuriki of the Yang and myself for the Yin. But I planned to seal the Yin chakra within the Shiki Fujin for eternity along with me since an infant cannot contain the full power of the original Kyuubi. I intend to make the Yang Kyuubi's chakra regenerate it's missing other half along with my son's growth so their chakra can meld properly, thus becoming a proper Jinchuuriki..."

"And that happened as you intended to, Yondaime." Yang Kurama replied. "As Naruto grows from a snot-nosed squid up into a 12-year old brat, I have regenerated the entire half of my chakra that you have sealed within the Shiku Fujin. That's why it is only during that time that Naruto can start tapping into my chakra subconsciously whenever he feels great anger and hatred. So you can say that I, myself, even as a Kyuubi created from Yang chakra, already have at least the same powers as that of the original Kyuubi sealed within your wife Kushina, not including the power that I have gradually gained as the time passed on as well."

"And that goes the same for me as well." Yin Kurama said. "While being sealed within the Shiku Fujin, I have also regenerated half of my chakra that you have left within that son of yours. So I can say that I am on the same level of chakra as that of the other me. I thought it was all for naught. But surprisingly, your soul is released from the Shiku Fujin and revived as an Edo Tensei, thus reviving me as well."

"Wow." Naruto muttered. "So it just means that there are now two full powered Kurama right now on our side?"

"That's right, son." Minato said impassively. "And that's what I worry about. Since the Yin and the Yang Kyuubi have both reached the power of the original Kyuubi on their own, the thought of them fusing together will create an all new, powerful Kyuubi that will become far more powerful than the original Kyuubi sealed within Kushina. With that information on hand, I believe that if the two Kyuubi's became a single entity again, it could easily rival or even surpass the power of the Juubi created by Obito. We might be able to turn the tides of the war with that power, but will it be enough to defeat Obito and stop the Shinju's flower from blooming? If so, then how can Naruto possibly handle such level of power?"

"Actually, your assumption is right, Yondaime. Since it comes to this, there is something that I want to share with you all." Yang Kurama spoke. "You all know that the Juubi is divided by the Rikudo Sennin into 9 creatures called Bijuus. However, the question here is, does the chakras from the Juubi are divided equally to the 9 Bijuus?"

"What do you mean Kyuubi? Are you kidding me? Yeah!" Killer Bee talked excitedly in rap style.

"Talk normally Bee!" The Eight-Tailed Ox, the Hachibi or called as Gyuuki, poked his host. "Let me explain that one. The truth is that the division of the chakra from the Juubi is not proportionate. The Rikudo Sennin actually intended to divide the Juubi's chakra into two beasts only; that creates the Kyuubi and me, the Hachibi, with 60% of the Juubi's Chakra acquired by the Kyuubi and 40% by the Hachibi, with the Kyuubi acquiring most of the knowledge of the Rikudo Sennin. And the reason why the Kyuubi's chakra is greater than mine is to protect the knowledge of the Sage of the Six Paths within him."

"However, the Hachibi is still powerful on its own right for the humans to comprehend. So the Rikudo Sennin further splits the Hachibi's chakra into half, making the Hachibi to get 20% of the power of the Juubi…" Yin Kurama continued. "…while the other 20% is divided into other 7 tailed beasts proportionately this time."

"So that is the reason why when I access the Full Bijuu Mode for the first time against the Bijuus, I was easily able to dominate them with the help from Kurama's power..." Naruto nodded. "Since during that time, Yang Kurama already has at least 60% power of the Juubi. So if you will... uh... add my Kurama's and Dad's Kurama's power, then it is 60% + 60% of the Juubi's current 100%... then... Kurama's combined power will be more than 100%, stronger than that of the Juubi?"

"120% to be exact, Naruto." Gaara said towards his best friend who has trouble doing Math. "But what does this have to do with me, Bee and Hachibi?" The Kazekage redirected the question towards any of the Kurama.

"You may not yet notice it, but Obito's Jinchuurki powers have 2 sources: first is the Juubi sealed within him; the 2nd is the Shinju that he has created as a Juubi Jinchuurki. Remember that the Juubi is originally the Shinju itself. Recreating the Shinju is the same as creating a duplicate Juubi." Naruto's Kurama explained. "Now that we have already grabbed a hold of the other 7 Bijuus chakra, we must pull those chakra out with everything that we got to remove Obito's control and power over the Shinju. And for us to be able to successfully pull-out the other Bijuus chakra, we will need someone who is adept to Senjutsu, which is the weakness of the Juubi Jinchuuriki, and also someone with piece of chakra of each of those Bijuus within him."

The Bijuus and the Jinchuurikis present in the situation turned towards Naruto, much to the Genin's surprise. He is the only one among them who has portions of each of the Bijuus chakra except the Ichibi and the Hachibi, and also the only mastered the art of Senjutsu. Everyone then realized, except Naruto of course, that Naruto needs Hachibi and Ichibi chakra so he can pull out the 2 other Bijuus mentioned along with the other 7 Bijuu chakras. After all, Gaara and Killer Bee themselves are not capable of using Senjutsu like Naruto.

"So technically, the Kazekage and Killer Bee needs to give their Bijuus' entire chakra into Naruto so my son can pull out the Ichibi and Hachibi's chakra as well along with the other Bijuus from Obito…" Minato concluded. "This is aside from the two Kyuubis who will about to combine their chakra to become the original Kyuubi once again. Can Naruto able to handle such level of power?"

"It's all up to your son now, Yondaime. You believed on him even when he was an infant. Why doubt him now after everything that he has already done to protect your's and everyone's asses?" The Yin Kyuubi replied.

Minato replied with a nod. Now more than ever, he just realized how his son has grown from a very fragile little baby into a full-pledged Shinobi that made the entire world, even the hatred-filled Bijuus, trust him. Gaara understood what is needed to be done, same goes for Killer Bee.

"So I guess this will be a goodbye then, Bee." Gyuki said to his host.

"Yes. It's been fun, Hachibi, or should I say, Gyuki." Bee said with a rare serious tone, but still rapping. The Bijuu and the Jinchuurki gave their final fist bump gesture to each other.

"Just wait -dattebayo!" Naruto shouted towards the Bijuus and the Jinchuurikis in front of him. "I can't understand what's going on or what will happen, but are you really going to let go of Hacchan like that, Bee-ochan?"

"Don't fret about it, Naruto. Bee and I have already talked about this the moment that we have met you. Both of us realized and understood that you are a person who can make a difference in this world. And I believe that is also what my fellow Bijuus saw within you, that's why they entrust their chakra to you. And for the sake of protecting the world, I'll be more than happy to give all my power to save the future. This is what the Rikudo Sennin has told us before he leave us wandering in this world after all." Gyuki explained while Killer Bee just nodded.

"Go, Naruto, -dattebayo boy!" Killer Bee said , trying to cheer up the blonde Shinobi.

"Naruto, everyone is ready to do everything just to grab a hold of the future and keep moving forward." Gaara said while tapping his friend's shoulders. "That's why I am ready to give all my chakra to you to gain the tiny residual chakra from Shukaku that is left within me. Now, grab the future for the Shinobi World... for every one of us… Naruto."

Naruto is dumbstruck. It is now, more than ever, that he realized how blessed he is for having such wonderful comrades and friends. Changing his expression from being surprised to a resolute one, Naruto look towards his father.

"Dad, if Hachibi's power is extracted from Bee-ochan, he will die, right?"

"Don't worry, Naruto. When the Bijuu is extracted forcefully, that is when the Jinchuuriki that hosts them died." Minato explained. "However, if you just unseal the Bijuu's properly within the Jinchuuriki using a proper Fuinjutsu unsealing process, you can release the Bijuu without endangering the Jinchuuriki's life. And let me also remind you that your mother, Kushina, is a former Jinchuurki who also came from the Uzumaki clan. It is a given that becoming a Fuinjutsu Master is as easy as breathing from an Uzumaki like you, son. So Kushina knew all the possible seals that will be needed for sealing and unsealing the Bijuus. And she taught those seals to me as well."

"I see. Mom is also as amazing as you Dad!" Naruto said in awe. "My next question… as far as can I remember, you can only seal one Bijuu within a single Jinchuuriki right? Since I already have Yang Kurama within me, how can you possibly seal the other Kurama and Hacchan within me?"

"Don't worry, we have already figured it out, Naruto." Hachibi replied. "Remember that we Bijuus are Chakra entities. We are called like that for a reason. That's why I will let both Kyuubis absorb my entire chakra within them. That way, I will become a part of Kyuubi's Chakra. "

"Are you really okay with that?" Naruto asked in a sad tone.

"Even if my entire chakra is absorbed, it doesn't mean that I will die." Gyuki replied in response to Naruto's question. "I will just become a part of Kyuubi's, no, Kurama's power. I will continue to exist within him as part of his chakra. We were once the same entity after all."

Naruto though sad, accepted the Hachibi's proposal.

"And we, on the other hand, are always one entity even if we have 2 separate bodies." Yin Kurama explained while looking towards his other half. "The seal containing the other me within you will recognize the two of us as the same Kyuubi of the same entity."

"NINPOU: KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU! (Ninja Art: Summoning Technique)" Minato suddenly used a Summoning Technique. Then, several large scrolls appeared, floating within the space. Each scroll rivals the size of Jiraiya's Toad Scroll. He then drew out a storage scroll, and then resealed all those large scrolls within the storage scroll and handed it to Naruto with a fatherly smile.

"I haven't done much for you until now, Naruto. But consider this as a gift from me and your mother for you."

"What are these scrolls Dad?" Naruto wondered.

"They are the collections of Fuinjutsu and Special Jutsu of Uzumaki Clan from your Mom along with my jutsus, as well as the compilation of other uncompleted jutsus I have'nt been able to complete when I was alive. The scrolls are complete with formulas that you can learn and improve just like what you did to my Rasengan to your Rasenshuriken." Minato explained. "I know that this will not be enough to compensate for all the years that we are not by your side. After the war, regardless of the outcome, we revived Hokages will return to the afterlife. We may not have the luxury of time that we need to do this once we have finished what we need to do here, so I am taking this opportunity to give those scrolls for you to make you become a more powerful Shinobi, and also a great Hokage. Kushina will definitely be so proud of you, son."

"Thank you, Dad." Naruto said, tears running down his cheeks as he slid the storage scroll in one of his pockets. "Let's do this, everyone!"

Minato then created another special seal on the ground, creating a large insignia that could fit every one of them, including the three Bijuus. Yang Kurama, Yin Kurama, and Gyuki gathered around the seal, and then positioned themselves in a 3-way fist bump. Then on the middle of the space of the Bijuus, Naruto sat in meditating position but with arms stretched. On his right hand, he fist bumped with Gaara, while on the left hand with Killer Bee. Minato is then creating multiple hand seals, creating formula for a new seal to meet all the conditions needed for the two Kyuubi's infused with the entire Hachibi's chakra to be sealed within Naruto while Killer Bee and Gaara is sharing their entire chakra to the Genin so he can get the residual chakra of the Ichibi and the remaining chakra of the Hachibi after the seal has been removed in Killer Bee.

Slowly, the Hachibi's physical form started to disintegrate while being absorbed into the two Kyuubi's proportionately. Gaara and Killer Bee then started to disappear on the mindscape after transferring their chakra towards Naruto. With the two Kyuubis acquiring the entire chakra from the Hachibi evenly, they fist bump with each other with both their hands to melded both their chakra and also meld their chakra towards Naruto. With one last hand seal, Minato looked towads Naruto, with his son now entering Sage Mode.

"We'll leave everything to you now, Naruto. Surpass all the other Hokages and become the greatest Hero of the Shinobi World!" Minato pets the head of his son, the same way that he did during their first meeting on Invasion of Pain. "I believe in you, Naruto."

"Yeah. For the sake of those who have sacrificed far enough, for those who choose to continue fighting, and for those who wanted to protect their future, I'll do this Dad. Thank you -dattebayo!" Naruto gave a wide, confident grin, the same grin he has given before his mother disappeared within his mindscape after his battle with the Kyuubi to control the Bijuu's powers.

-Mindscape Discussion End-

Naruto, Minato, Gaara and Killer Bee quickly recovered the information from the discussion earlier. Gaara and Killer Bee then felt like their chakra has been depleted since they have provided their entire chakra to Naruto, making them lose their strength fall to the ground.

"Tsunade-sama, Sakura, please assist the Kazekage and Killer Bee!" Minato shouted towards the medic nins. He too, is feeling that a huge amount of power left him. Tsunade and Sakura followed without hesitation to catch the falling former Jinchuurikis. Fighting the urge of his Edo Tensei body to collapse, Minato took a glance towards Naruto who is still within the Kyuubi's Chakra Avatar equipped with Susanoo Armor beside Sasuke. He saw that Naruto have his eyes shut, his entire body glowing along with his Bijuu Mode chakra cloak. Sasuke even covered his eyes due to the brightlight that Naruto is currently emitting.

"It has begun." Minato said.

The chakra stream of the Hachibi and the Ichibi are cut off during the chakra tug-of war since Killer Bee and Gaara are no longer available to pull out their chakra. However, with Naruto acquiring both the chakra from Hachibi and Ichibi from them, he used the two remaining unused tails of Kurama's Chakra Avatar to grab the Hachibi and Ichibi chakra streams and also started pulling those Bijuus' Chakra out of Obito's body. Minato, seeing that all the preparations are complete, and with all the remaining reserves left to him by the Yin Kurama started to deplete, gave out one mighty yell.

"Everyone, pull back! Let Naruto handle this battle against Obito!" Minato said as his Edo Tensei form starts to fall out. Yin Kurama's chakra rope that is used by the Alliance to pull out the Bijuus also started to disappear as well, as those chakra are also being absorbed towards Naruto's now glowing body. "Even you, Sasuke-kun, get away from Naruto! He'll handle everything from now on."

Without other choice, Sasuke, Konoha 11, the Kages and the entire Shinobi Alliance started to pull away from the chakra-tug-of-war, much to Obito's wonder. But what the Juubi Jinchuuriki has been surprised for is that the force of the pull on chakra stream from Naruto's side doesn't weaken. In fact, the force of Naruto's pull actually started to get stronger and stronger within each passing second. Naruto, currently in Sage Mode, along with his Full Tailed Beast form Chakra Avatar started to glow like an amazing light, as if it is evolving to something with far greater power. And this is definitely beyond Obito's calculations.

Within Naruto's mindscape, Yin and Yang Kurama are still in fist-bump position with each of the tip of their nine tails pointing at each other, creating a circular dome-like field that contains the two giant foxes. Between the two Kyuubi's, Naruto is sitting on a meditating position in Sage Mode as the two Kyuubi's channels both their chakra into him, which are also powered with Hachibi's Chakra and fractions of other Bijuus chakra, from Ichibi to Nanabi. With these new found powers, the Yang Kurama spoke to Naruto.

-Mindscape Discussion-

"Naruto, with the two of us sealed within you, even if me and the other me here are not yet fused as a single entity, you can now access the full power of our combined chakra. You currently have access on the Chakra of the full-powered original Kyuubi, which is technically stronger than Obito's Juubi. Along with the chakra increase, your own personal chakra has also increased exponentially since your chakra pathways condensed the current chakra release within your Chakra Circulatory System. This is because of another chakra entity that just enetered within that seal of yours." The Yin Kurama explained.

"Yeah. I can feel it." Naruto muttered, still with his eyes shut while meditating. "Some great power is swelling deep within me… It feels like everything within me has leveled-up."

"You're right brat." The Yang Kurama replied. "As I can sense, your very own chakra level is now around the same level as that of Shodaime Hokage, who has been able to defeat Madara Uchiha even with me in my full power under his control. Since both me and the other me have already acquired the same chakra level as of the original Kyuubi respectively during that battle with Shodaime Hokage and Madara, and with you who has the same chakra level as that of the Shodaime that can even powered-up by Senjutsu, we can definitely yank out the other Bijuus chakra successfully out of Obito right now!"

"Wow. Does it mean that Shodaime really defeated you and Madara at the same time even if you are on your complete form in the past?" Naruto said in wonder and awe. "If Shodaime can beat both you and Madara at the same time, and if I have the same chakra level as that of the Shodaime, then I can also beat both of you at the same time right now!"

"Wrong. You are no longer near our level of power anymore." Yang Kurama replied.

"Why is that -dattebayo?"

"Remember that the Hachibi's entire chakra is already within us Kyuubis proportinately. And the Yang Kurama has also shared the chakras of other Bijuus within you as well to me equally in half. So I can actually say that me and the other me right now have the same chakra level as that of Obito's Juubi, since both me and the other me have all the 9 chakras from other Bijuus and divided equally with each other." Yin Kurama answered.

"That's awesome! So you mean I have two Kuramas with the same level of power as that of the Obito's Juubi sealed within me?" Naruto said excitedly, but still on his meditating position.

"Actually, two Kyuubis with Obito's Juubi Chakra Level, and you as our Jinchuuriki with Shodaime Hokage level chakra. Not to mention that me and the other me still haven't fused yet to become the original Kyuubi. Now, let's kick some serious ass!" Yin Kurama roared, but still in fist bump position with the Yang Kurama along with their intertwined nine tails.

-Mindscape Discussion End-

On the outside world, Naruto opened his eyes with his Sage Mode still active, thus displaying his Toad eyes, along with the slitted pupils due to the influence of the Kyuubi chakra. Feeling more powerful than ever, Naruto channeled additional chakra into his Kurama Chakra Avatar to give additional power and force on his current form for him pull out the 9 Bijuu's Chakras within Obito's body. As he increased the chakra output of his Full Bijuu Sage Mode, it lets out a huge destructive shockwave, creating a powerful gust of wind that blows anything in its path, including the Shinobis within its radius.

"What... is this power?" Sasuke just thought while doing his best not to be blown away with the help of his Susanoo ribcage.

"This power... clearly far surpassed that of my brother's Chakra level... Can Naruto really handle this?" Tobirama muttered.

"To think that Naruto kid could grow this powerful..." Hiruzen Sarutobi, the 3rd Hokage, mentioned while struggling to hold his ground.

"Go, Naruto... Stop Obito and end this war!" Minato thought.

"Everyone!" Naruto shouted. "Kurama is still melding his chakra with his other half along with the other Bijuu's chakra. So I will need to draw out Kurama's chakra that I have distributed within you guys so I can pull out the Bijuus successfully out of that Obito bastard!"

The Shinobi Alliance approved, so eventhough they are struggling to stand up on their own, they started doing several hand seals as Naruto dictated through Ino's Shintenshin Jutsu.

"KAI!" Every Shinobi in the entire Alliance shouted right at the same time to release the Kyuubi's chakra distributed by Naruto. The chakras released were quickly shot back towards Kurama's Chakra Avatar, further stabilizing the power of the pull from Obito's Bijuus chakras.

On the other hand, Obito now realized that he is now the underdog on this chakra-tug-of-war against Naruto after feeling the knucklehead's growth in strength and chakra. He have gone through every simulations within his brain quickly, thinking on ways how to get out of this situation and for the Bijuus chakra not to be yanked out of his body, but to no avail. Feeling the Bijuus chakra now starting to be ripped out of his body forcefully, Obito growls in pain.

"IKKE -TTEBAYO!" Naruto yelled one powerful roar as he gave his all to pull out all the other Bijuu chakras. In that instance, all of the Bijuus chakras within Obito are yanked out successfully through Kurama's Chakra Avatar's tails.

"Impossible... the power of the Sage of the Six Paths... was defeated by a mere child..." Obito said, with his face deteriorating from the sudden removal of the Bijuus.

"He did it! That Naruto!" Kiba said, grinning happily after seeing his comrade defeating the Juubi Jinchuuriki. The rest of the Shinobi Alliance applauded as well after seeing their Hero defeating the most powerful opponent that they have ever faced.

"That dobe... he already is on a far different league of his own right now." Sasuke said with a smirk of defeat and respect.

However, instead of pulling out the Bijuus and becoming their own separate Chakra entities, the Bijuus chakras swirled and gathered around Kurama's Chakra Avatar, forming a large chakra sphere with Naruto on the middle. Slowly, the Bijuus chakra sphere started to be absorbed directly within Naruto's seal where the two Kyuubi's are sealed, much to Naruto's and the Alliances' surprise.

"That's impossible!" Orochimaru said. "Does the Bijuus intend to seal themselves within that Naruto brat!?"

"I didn't create such seal that can contain multiple Bijuus! That chakra will going be too much for Naruto!" Minato said in surprise and fear on what might happen to his son.

The Bijuus chakras surrounded Naruto, completely enveloping his already large sized Bijuu Sage Mode into a globe of very thick, dense chakra as these chakras were being absorbed within Naruto's seal. In that instance, Naruto's Bijuu Sage Mode disintegrated, and all that remains on the scene is Naruto's seemingly unconscious body, glowing due to highly concentrated chakra surrounding him, while the chakras of the 9 Bijuus continues to envelope him inside a gigantic chakra globe, much to the Alliance's worry.

-Mindscape Discussion-

Within Naruto's mindscape, Naruto quickly asked the two Kurama's who still have their two fists bump against each other while melding their chakra.

"What's happening to my body, Kurama?" Naruto asked.

"We are currently equipping your body with Bijuu Cells." The Yang Kurama replied uninterestedly.

"Bijuu Cells?" Naruto replied.

"Bijuu Cells allows your own cells to acquire the properties as such of the Bijuus. These cells allows you to continue to grow stronger, depending on the training level that you will do, which will perfectly fit for you and your Kage Bunshins since you are the type who learns from body experience. The Bijuu Cells quickly adapts to changes and protects your original cells, giving you some level of invulnerability like that of Kazekage's Armor of Sand and 3rd Raikage's insane physical durability."

"And this Bijuu Cells perfectly matches your Uzumaki Clans potential to continue on growing physically stronger like that of your mother's and the Godaime Hokage's monstrous strength, since both of them are part of Uzumaki Clan." Yin Kurama explained. "With the Bijuu Cells thriving to grow stronger and stronger with unique ability and adaptability, along with Uzumaki Clans potential to continuously increase their physical aspects like strength, speed and such, you have such unlimited potential to become much stronger." (Bijuu Cells works the same way as that of the Gourmet Cells from Toriko and Saiyan Cells from Dragon Ball Z.)

"Wow. But why would I need the Bijuu Cells anyway?"

"Unlike Obito who sealed the Juubi within himself with the Gedo Mazou as a medium, you don't have a medium to contain the powerful chakras of all the Bijuus even if they have entrusted all their power to you. However, with the Bijuu Cells ability to adapt and the Uzumaki clan's strong life force, your body itself is enough to become the very medium of the combined full-powered chakras of all the Bijuus." Yang Kurama snorted.

"I see. So all these chakras surrounding my body will be sealed within me?"

"No. The Bijuu chakras surrounding you will be absorbed by the two of us." Yin Kurama replied while the Yang Kurama nods. "Just like on how we absorb the Ichibi chakra from Gaara, Hachibi chakra from Bee, and portions of chakra from other Bijuus that they have provided to you before they were sealed within the Mazou, we two Kurama's will absorb all these chakras proportionately, sharing half of the chakras of each Bijuus as we meld our chakras. While we were absorbing the chakras on our own, our physical features will undergo some changes before trying to fuse with each other to become a single entity like what we have used to as the original Kyuubi."

Naruto nodded. He didn't quite get it, but all that he understood is that these two Kurama's will absorb all the Bijuus chakras that were just yanked out of Obito and he will become the vessel of these combined chakras. "But now that Obito is defeated, and the Bijuus' chakras will be absorbed directly within us, all that is left is to seal Madara!"

"I will not be so sure about that." Yang Kurama said with a glare. "That Uchiha Madara always has a back-up plan. I have so many experiences fighting him, and even if I can overpower him, those accursed eyes of his can always subjugate me. That's why we Bijuus have decided to seal all our chakra within you. As long as Uchiha Madara is on the battlefield, we cannot declare that we have come out of this war victorious."

"Is he really that powerful? That bastard Madara?" Naruto is now shocked that even Kurama somewhat feared Madara.

"Yes. And I bet that Uchiha Obito brat whom you have defeated is just a tiny pawn for his plan. And even this Infinite Tsukuyomi thing is just a fraud. All that Uchiha Madara wanted is power and supremacy over everything. That's why we will need all the power that we could get to defeat that Uchiha." Yin Kurama replied.

Naruto felt a sweat forming and dripping down his forehead. Seeing the expression from these two Kuramas upon mentioning Madara's name made him realize that this war is far from over.

"Naruto, me and the other me will about to undergo a brief metamorphosis while we are melding our chakra with the other Bijuus chakra that we have released from the Juubi Jinchuuriki. However, you can still use our now Juubi level chakra while we are undergoing metamorphosis. And expect a much powerful transformation and power-up once our metamorphosis is done. Hold Madara with your current level of power. But if you can defeat him, then send him to oblivion." Yang Kurama said while the Yin Kurama nods. "We will never forgive you if he defeated you."

"Yeah! Rest for now and do that metamor...mor... thing that you need Kurama." Naruto replied. "Leave this to me. I'll kick Madara's ass -dattebayo!"

-Mindscape Discussion End-

Naruto's attention returned on the physical world, and felt a huge amount of power slowly flooding his body. His physical body is still currently floating in the middle of the gigantic but very thick chakra globe that composed of all the Bijuus chakra, complete from Ichibi to Kyuubi that just came out from Obito's body. Due to the large amount of chakra flooding his seal and his chakra circulatory system, Naruto cannot move. However, thanks to the effects of the Bijuu Cells, his body is now starting to adapt quickly to these high volume of condensed chakra being absorbed within him with the two Kyuubis as a medium.

Obito's weakened body is now lying near lifeless on the ground. He is watching the gigantic chakra orb with Naruto's glowing body absorbing the entirety of the chakra yanked out of him. He can feel it… this entire chakra that Naruto is currently trying to absorb is on an entirely different level than the power of the Juubi he has created. He believed that this is because Naruto has the complete power of the Bijuus, unlike the Juubi that he created that only has a fraction of the Hachibi's and the Kyuubi's chakra.

While Obito is contemplating about this, he felt a hand that suddenly grabbed his head and lifted him using that single hand. With his weakened body that can even barely breathe, he no longer has enough power to resist the person who is grabbing him like a lifeless dog. However, he has a very good idea who is the person responsible for this.

"You have done a good job on recreating the Shinju, Obito." Madara said with an evil tone.

"Let... go… of... me..." Obito said.

"Not yet. You still have two things that I need." Madara replied.

The Alliance is watching the entire scene on how Madara treated Obito like a useless dog. They then realize that something is not right. Tobirama, upon realizing it, shouted towards Madara.

"What did you do to my brother Madara?! Where is he?" Tobirama shouted with rage as he remembered that Hashirama and Madara are fighting on a different location during the chakra-tug-of-war.

"Hashirama?" Madara replied uninterestedly. Madara then throws the immovable and nearly deformed Edo Tensei body of Hashirama Senju, pierced with multiple Rinnegan chakra rods from head to toe. "He cannot catch up with my Rinnegan. So this happened to him."

"To..birama... Everyone... get... away... from here..." Hashirama forced himself to speak.

"Madara must be continuously draining the First Hokages chakra using those black rods." Orochimaru stated. "For whatever reason why he did that, it will definitely be more troublesome than any of the experiments I have conducted."

Minato, with his Edo Tensei arm now regenerated after Obito's defeat but no longer able to use the Nine Tailes Chakra Mode since the Yin Kyuubi is no longer sealed within him, glared towards Madara. "What do you plan to do against Obito?"

"You'll see..." Madara said uninterestedly. He created another black chakra rod and pierced it at Obito's back, making Obito shout in pain. Madara then threw Obito's weakened body like a trash, and then started performing handseals. In that instance, Obito's body is quickly covered by Black Zetsu. With Black Zetsu controlling Obito's body, he performed one of the forbidden techniques of the Rinnegan.

"GEDDO RINNE TENSEI NO JUTSU" Madara and Black Zetsu-controlled Obito muttered at the same time.

Everyone in the battefield watched as how Madara's Edo Tensei body starts to gain life force as of that of a regular human being. Then out of nowhere, Kakashi appeared using Kamui in front of the Alliance.

"Madara is trying to resurrect himself! We must stop him before it is too late!" Kakashi shouted in a hurried tone.

Every Shinobi who heard Kakashi's statement prepared to attack Madara before he revives himself completely. The entire alliance then started to dash towards Madara. No matter how strong Madara is, with the power of the entire Alliance, the remaining Edo Kages and the current Kages on their side, they can still definitely defeat him.

That is, if Madara is alone.

In that instance, thousands of thousands of White Zetsus appeared from the ground, prepared to protect Madara from the incoming Shinobi forces no matter what. This is the sole purpose why Madara created them; to serve as his immortal army for his plans. The Shinobi Alliance is surprised on how many Zetsus were left during the war that Madara can command on is whim.

"Now, the true Fourth Great Ninja War is about to begin!" Madara said coldly.
