Chapter 167 - Calamity

Shikamaru and Ino didn't have the time to mourn, that the Juubi resumes his attack on the Ninja Alliance using its tails, but Neji and his uncle Hiashi use Hakkeshō Kaiten (Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven) to repel one hand, while Zabuza transforms in his Bijuu form to protect the other ninja from the Juubi's assault, and Dosu, Sasuke, Itachi, Onoki, Mei, Gaara, A and Mecha-Naruto did the same all taking care of one of the tails with a different method.

Obito looking at the situation says "I was hoping to attack them before they could recover from the shock, but some of them didn't lower their guard and I can't control the Juubi well enough..." Orochimaru still enjoying the spectacle says "It should be fine until the next 'transformation... But it seems that without becoming its Jinchuriki you cannot gain mastery over the Juubi...So what are you going to do next?".

Obito raises his arm and says "Next... I'll slowly cripple them with despair..." and under his commands, the Juubi raises his ten tails and using the Mokuton: Sashiki no Jutsu (Wood Release: Cutting Technique) it shoots an uncountable number of sharp wooden spikes from them, and Hinata seeing that Naruto was in danger quickly rush in front of him to become a human shield and Neji who notices this did the same for Hinata.

But before the wooden spikes could reach their target, Agent P appears in front of the Ninja Alliance and uses the Senpō: Mokuton: Jukai Heki (Sage Art: Wood Release: World of Trees Wall) creating countless huge trees that grow at high speed from the ground, that interlace to form a wide, net-like wall with an impressive defensive power that is able to block Obito's attack, saving the lives of countless ninja.

And while Hinata is having her moment with Naruto, and Neji is standing like an idiot near them as a third wheel, Kitsuchi and Onoki use the Doton: Sando no Jutsu (Earth Release: Sandwich Technique) to create two enormous rock formations that close in on the Juubi from opposing sides with tremendous force, trapping it between them, and stopping it from shooting more spike.

Before the other could take advantage of this moment, the Juubi frees itself and charges another Bijuudama aiming at the huge tree wall created by Agent P, but from the sky, the figure of Sai and B flying on his ink beast toward the Juubi can be seen, and B yells "My battery is recharged!!!" then he jumps from the ink beast toward the Juubi's open mouth and transform into his Bijuu Form and charing a Bijuudama at the same time, then putting his head inside the Juubi's mouth he shoots it causing the Juubi's body to expand while B is blown away.

At the same time Naruto holds Hinata's hand and says "Hinata... Thanks a bunch! It's because you've been by my side this whole time..." then entering once again in Kurama Chakra Mode he yells "Let's get this show on the road Hinata!!" giving her some of Kurama's Chakra at the same time, enveloping her in a Chakra Shourd.

Then Naruto makes three other clones and starts tapping everyone and giving them some of Kurama's Chakra, Obito notices this and uses once again the Juubi's tail to stop him, but it is blocked by Hinata's Kurama enhanced Hakke Kuusho (Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm), while the other were blocked by Choji and his clan members, who were already tapped by Naruto, using their Baika no Jutsu(Multi-Size Technique) and the other by Karin using her Kongō Fūsa (Adamantine Sealing Chains).

At the same time, Shikamaru and the other Nara clan use their Kagemane no Jutsu (Shadow Imitation Technique) to further immobilize Obito and the Juubi, while Ino uses the Shintenshin no Jutsu (Mind Body Switch Technique) to invade Obito's mind and dull his reaction, then once everyone has Kurama's Chakra they attack together.

The Five Kages plus Jiraiya focus on Orochimaru forcing him to use Sonido to get away, Naruto's group on Obito severing his connection with the Juubi, and the rest on the Juubi sending it into the ground.

As they land, Obito and Orochimaru quickly counter attacks with a Cero and the Katon: Bakufū Ranbu (Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance), while the Juubi starts rampaging, but Kurama's Chakra protects the Ninja Alliance, then the Juubi let out another powerful roar, further maturing, its body became less emaciated, it grew a complete left arm, and it began standing on its hind legs.

Obito, who just failed another attempt on Naruto using Kamui, stands in front of the Juubi and says "That's what you get for cutting off the only link between me and the Juubi... It's beyond the point of suppressing now... Perhaps the time has come for me to become its Jinchuriki...".

Then noticing that Kakashi is about to make a move, he rushes at him and together they vanish with Kamui while the Juubi unleash the Tenpenchii, interfering with the natural energy using its immeasurable amount of chakra, the Juubi simultaneously creates a variety of natural disasters that devastate the surrounding area, with itself acting as their epicenter.

The phenomena involved are earthquakes, floods, thunderstorms, and tornadoes, these concurrent events result in a blast akin to a nuclear explosion, even forming a vast mushroom cloud, luckily Kurama's Chakra once again saved everyone, but this totally exhausted Naruto, even the Chakra enveloping the other ninjas disappeared, at the same time Sakura and Sasuke quickly move to protect Naruto, Sasuke standing in front still protected by his Susanoo, Sakura behind him helping him recover.

At the same time, Kakashi and Obito started their fight inside Kamui Dimension, Kakashi quickly uses Raikiri, but just as it was about to hit Obito he stops and Obito says "Still can't pull the trigger, eh? You've had a number of opportunities to finish me off... You of all the people... Showing mercy to your enemy... I really have seen it all..." and seeing Kakashi standing in silence he continues "Cat got your tongue? or is the guilt eating away at you? Do you wake up in the middle of the night knowing that you blatantly failed to live up to your promise? Or are you hoping that I'll have some miraculous change of heart?".

At that point Kakashi tries to talk some sense into Obito, saying that Obito sees his younger self in Naruto and that maybe he subconsciously wants a younger version of himself to lash at him for what he became, and that he more than anyone else understands Naruto's feelings, at that point, Obito laughs out loud and says "Knowing exactly what Naruto is going through is all the more reason for me to mock and ridicule the navie words that come out of his mouth... I'll let you in a little secret... Any feelings of guilt or self-condemnation you've felt... Are absurd... If you really think the impetus for this war was for you and Rin... Well... you need to stop flattering yourself...".

Obito stands up and walks forward making Kakashi's Raikiri pierce his chest and says "I've always... Known the truth... I'm well aware that Rin chose to die that day... I even found out that the event itself was planned by Madara so that I could be used as a pawn for his resurrection... that is why I choose to end this bullshit world and create another one... where the villages... The ninjas... doesn't matter!!".

Kakashi still insists that somewhere inside him Naruto's feelings still reach him but Obito pointing at the hole in his chest says "Somewhere inside of me? Take a good look! There is nothing inside of me anymore!!! I don't feel pain! I don't feel anything! You need to let all that guilt go Kakashi... This wind hole wasn't your doing... It was made by this evil, cruel world...".
