Nagasawa's Awakening

"The massive and ugly monster appeared again before the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Everyone's expressions changed, and they instinctively took a step back.

After all, too many of their comrades died at the hands of Ten-Tails. Even Allied Shinobi Forces' headquarter was destroyed by Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Balls, and everyone inside was killed.

This had nothing to do with courage; it was simply primal fear.

"Don't worry, we have the Hokages fighting alongside us, so there's no need to fear even a monster like the Ten-Tails," Sakura shouted when she noticed that the Allied Shinobi Forces' morale was low.

Upon hearing Sakura's words, they all recalled the scene when the five Hokages first arrived. At that time, Naruto nearly exhausted all of his Chakra and couldn't maintain the Nine-Tails' Chakra Mode anymore. The Allied Shinobi Forces tried their best, but they couldn't stop Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, and it was the Hokages who saved them.

Yes, no matter how scary Ten-Tails was, they have the past Hokages on their side.

Hearing Sakura's words, Obito chuckled and thought that she was so naïve.

Ten-Tails stuck its legs to the ground as if trying to burrow into the ground.

In the process, the Ten-Tails' form began to change again.

A giant, green tree trunk sprang from the Ten-Tails' body, and it didn't stop there.

But instead of leaves, it was four large dark red flower buds that grew, just like the ones the Ten-Tails had previously spewed from its mouth.

There was no need for Obito to explain; everyone knew what these flower buds were for.

Undoubtedly, they were used to launch Tailed Beast Ball.

"Four Tailed Beast Balls? I can only teleport one away. Fourth, since you're faster than me, can you relocate two of them?" Tobirama said to Minato.

Minato smiled helplessly and said, "Second, although I'm faster than you, I can't relocate two Tailed Beast Ball without markings. One is my limit."

"I can also teleport one away, but even then, there's another one left," Nagasawa frowned.

If it weren't for the Six Red Yang Formation, any of them could've teleported away all the Tailed Beast Balls.

Because the best way to deal with Tailed Beast Balls was not to overpower them but to change their trajectory, making them miss their targets. However, with the Six Red Yang Formation, this method wouldn't work.

The Six Red Yang Formation enveloped everyone in a hexagonal prism, and no matter how they tried to change the trajectory of the Tailed Beast Balls, it would ultimately hit the barrier.

Once that happened, the Tailed Beast Balls would explode inside the Six Red Yang Formation. Even Nagasawa wouldn't be unscathed, let alone the Allied Shinobi Forces.

The four dark red flower buds began to gather Chakra, and a terrifying energy fluctuation brewed within them.

The burning morale of the Allied Shinobi Forces was instantly extinguished. How could they withstand four Tailed Beast Balls?

One of the Kirigakure Shinobi dropped his sword to the ground as his lifeless eyes staring at the four dark red flower buds concentrating Tailed Beast Balls, and said bitterly, "After fighting for so long, what is it all for? Is this the result?"

He was not a cowardly Shinobi; he had gone through the Third Great Shinobi War and survived. He didn't give up back then even when he was surrounded by strong enemies from Konoha.

He had also undertaken many life-threatening missions.

But at this moment, he truly felt despair.

Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Balls had almost destroyed the entire Allied Shinobi Forces, and there were four of it now.

Considering how powerful they were, how could they possibly counter them?

After fighting so hard, with many comrades dying one after another, this was the result?

The Tailed Beast Balls brewing in the flower buds continued to grow bigger and bigger.

The eerie and ubiquitous blood-like color seemed to be hinting at the miserable fate of the Allied Shinobi Forces.

The entire battlefield was enveloped in despair.

"Feel free to regret your decision as you die!" Obito said as created a black sphere to protect himself.

"If you're willing to surrender now and stop your futile struggle, I don't mind to stop attacking and take you to a world without worries," Obito attempted to persuade them.

He was never a bloodthirsty person; everyone that he killed was for the sake of achieving his goal.

After all, even if they died, they would come back to life in Infinite Tsukuyomi's dream world, or at least that was what Obito thought.

Many allied ninja wavered. Although they hadn't put down their weapons, their complex expressions revealed their thoughts.

As long as they surrendered, they could survive. This was a very tempting offer.

After all, what could be more important than staying alive?

Seeing this scene, Jugo also advised Sasuke to use Reverse Summoning Technique.

Nagasawa gripped his sword tightly, pondering one thing.

He wondered if he could stop the Tailed Beast Balls if he cut down the God Tree.

Although he had never tried it, Nagasawa believed that it must be one of the most difficult things to cut on this planet.

Since Obito did not even attempt to restrain Nagasawa before summoning the God Tree and simply protected himself with Truth-Seeking Balls, he must have some confidence, thinking that Nagasawa's slash was not enough to destroy the God Tree.

So, Nagasawa ought to carefully consider his option.

Although he didn't plan to clear this Challenge Mission in one go, he didn't want to waste too much of his power before he could see Six Path Madara.

But if he didn't do something, with four Tailed Beast Balls coming, only a few might survive.

Nagasawa faced a difficult choice.

Hashirama, who was currently fighting with Madara, also saw this scene and couldn't help but frown. He shouted, "Madara, your companion is being reckless. Don't stop me; I'm going to stop him."

Madara laughed heartily, completely ignoring Hashirama's words, and continued to attack Hashirama. Then he said, "So what if he is? We're living corpses anyway, there's no need to worry."

For Madara, the Allied Shinobi Forces were like ants. Although weak individually, they were annoying in large numbers.

If Obito could clear away those ants, Madara would be quite happy.

"Madara, you're going too far!" Hashirama's expression turned serious, with anger in his eyes.

This was the first time he had gotten this angry during his encounter with Madara.

"Oh, are you getting serious now? Come, Hashirama!" Seeing that Hashirama appeared to be angry, Madara became even more excited, behaving like a mischievous boy who had successfully caught the attention of a well-behaved girl.

"Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"

Hashirama clasped his hands together, summoning a titanic, many-handed wooden statue.

"Hahaha, that's more like it." Madara laughed maniacally and instantly activated his Susanoo that drew his sword and charged at Hashirama.

Bam! Bam! Whoosh!

The enormous hands of the wooden statue that was as large as mountains slammed Madara with incredible speed.

Facing the onslaught of the massive hands, Madara didn't back down at all. With each swing of his Susanoo's sword, he crushed numerous wooden hands.

"Hashirama, your attacks aren't as strong as they used to be," Madara sighed.

That day, in the Valley of the End, he had a life-and-death battle with Hashirama. Back then, Hashirama was truly powerful, and even with the Nine-Tails at his side, Madara was no match for Hashirama. If he hadn't used Izanagi in advance, he might have truly died at Hashirama's hands.

Back then, Hashirama's Top Transformed Buddha instantly crushed his Susanoo, but now, he could withstand Hashirama's attacks even without the Nine-Tails. Madara knew why; it was because he had become stronger and possessed Rinnegan.

On top of that, due to being revived by Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation, Hashirama's power was not at its prime.

"Top Transformed Buddha!" Instead of responding to Madara's taunt, Hashirama used his most powerful technique.

Although his power had diminished because he wasn't at his prime, this move was still not to be underestimated!

Boom, boom, boom!

Hashirama focused all his Chakra into the hands of the giant wooden statue. The sky was then covered in the colossal hands that struck Susanoo.

This time, Madara didn't speak anymore. He went all out to deal with the incoming attack.

Even though he had said that Hashirama wasn't at his prime, Madara didn't dare to underestimate him. After all, this was Hashirama Senju, a man who had defeated him several times before.

Hashirama was busy with Madara, and the other Hokage didn't have a good way to help.

Watching the bleak atmosphere, Nagasawa silently clenched the hilt of his sword.

He really hated this gloomy atmosphere the most. Whoever caused this was asking for trouble!

It was just a few thousand points, and Nagasawa could get it in two weeks.

Nagasawa started to maximize his use of Sun Breathing, bringing his breathing technique closer to when he perceived the sun.

At this moment, the red light on Nagasawa's body turned into golden light, and his Chakra consumption skyrocketed. His already terrifying aura became even more terrifying.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Tobirama noticed the changes in Nagasawa and asked in astonishment.

He could sense that Nagasawa's aura had already surpassed the God Tree, which was currently charging four Tailed Beast Balls, and was more terrifying than anyone he had seen before.

However, at the same time, as this terrifying aura emerged, other parts of Nagasawa's body rapidly declined.

The Second Hokage instantly realized that Nagasawa was preparing to use some kind of Forbidden Technique to enhance his strength.

Nagasawa smiled and said, "Someone has to do something, and what I want to do now is to cut down that ugly tree."

Tobirama was speechless, and his irritation to Nagasawa due to his arrogance disappeared.

Nagasawa didn't hesitate to burn his life to fight for this world despite from another world and it was simply because he was also a Hokage in his world.

"I admit that you are a greater Hokage than me," Tobirama said in a deep voice, acknowledging the Shinobi from another world who looked exactly like him and had the same name as him.

Nagasawa walked towards the God Tree, and with each step, the light he emitted became brighter.

Originally, some despairing ninjas were attracted by Nagasawa's dazzling golden light.

They looked at Nagasawa, who was slowly approaching the God Tree, and a glimmer of hope appeared in their hearts once again.

Perhaps, this man could save them.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Naruto shouted, stopping Nagasawa.

Nagasawa stopped in his tracks and looked at Naruto.

Actually, he guessed that there were other ways to resolve the situation aside from cutting down the God Tree.

Otherwise, how could so many Shinobi survive after the battle?

But Nagasawa had long forgotten about the details. He could only use his own methods to solve the problem.

"Dad, I remember you said that you can transfer anyone as long as they have direct or indirect contact with your Chakra, right?" Naruto calmly said.

Minato nodded.

Naruto smiled and then raised his fist. "Dad, let's fist bump!"

Although Minato didn't know what Naruto was planning to do, he raised his remaining left arm and fist-bumped with Naruto.

And at the moment when Minato and Naruto fist-bumped, their Chakras linked together.

At the same time, the Chakra cloaks on the Allied Shinobi Forces' bodies reappeared.

The Allied Shinobi Forces were surprised, and one of the Sensor-Type Shinobi among them revealed that Naruto's Chakra had never disappeared; it simply became transparent due to excessive Chakra consumption.

As Naruto's father, Minato instantly understood what Naruto was thinking. He was speechless as his son had surpassed him.

It was impossible to directly connect all Allied Shinobi Forces with Minato's Chakra, but that was no longer the case as Naruto was already linked with all the Allied Shinobi Forces' Chakras, and by linking with Minato's Chakra as well, Minato's Chakra was also linked to all the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"Naruto, when I return to my world, I will definitely train you with all my might," Nagasawa also understood what Naruto was thinking. The golden light on his body slowly dissipated as he gave up his plan.

Nagasawa was very happy seeing the grown-up Naruto was so reliable and saved him 40,000 points.

Naruto was that reliable despite barely getting any good training since childhood. Imagine how he turned out with a proper training!

"Haha, you'll have to treat the me in the your world Ichiraku Ramen for that." Naruto said with a smile.
