Juubi Become a Punching Bag?

A/N: Happy New Year guys, and now my work time became normal again, now lets go to the chapter.

----

After the battlefield turned into an icy plain, Kaoru was busy battling Madara.

Obito attacked the Kage; although not as powerful as the two monsters, his abilities were sufficient to cause trouble for the Kage.

No matter how many attacks the Kage launched, it had no effect on Obito.

He even mocked them all.

"Pitiful, I was afraid of the Kage, but their strength is only this much. Even without Madara, I could destroy this world!"

Obito's words angered the Kage even more, especially Tsunade, as she knew Obito's identity as an Uchiha and a former student of Minato.

Given the chance, Tsunade really wanted to scold Minato for failing to educate his students one died as a sacrifice for the Sanbi, another became a traitor because his loved one died, and the last became a lazy ninja with no ambition.

Obito, fed up and unwilling to waste time, then used a summoning jutsu.

"Kuchiyose: Gedo Mazo!" As Obito pressed his hand to the ground, a summoning symbol appeared, and in an instant, a giant statue with a humanoid shape emerged.

Simultaneously, Naruto and his friends arrived and joined the Kage.

"Long time no see, granny. It seems you're always in trouble, huh? Ohh? There's Gaara too; it's been a while, Gaara!"

"What are you doing here, Naruto? And why are the others here too? Quickly leave! I don't know the purpose of that giant statue, but I have a bad feeling!"

"Long time no see, Naruto!"

At that moment, Gedo Mazo, the summoned statue, began to move.

*ROAR!!!

A deafening roar echoed from the statue, and slowly, Gedo Mazo stood up, raising its hands and then striking the ground, causing the earth to shake and turning unlucky ninjas into tomato sauce.

Gedo Mazo's rampage destroyed everything around it. Naruto and his friends, who had just arrived, wasted no time and immediately countered, restraining Gedo Mazo's onslaught.

They didn't hesitate to enter their respective tailed-beast modes.

On the other side, Madara, who managed to escape Kaoru's trap, felt very lucky because he didn't have to go around searching for the Jinchuriki.

Seeing this opportunity, Madara approached Obito and stabbed him in the back without hesitation.

Obito, who didn't expect betrayal at this moment, asked, "Why?"

With a proud and sardonic expression, Madara replied, "A puppet that always fails to follow its master's orders must be destroyed. Goodbye, Uchiha Obito!"

Madara then immediately pulled out the Rinnegan from Obito and left the shocked Shinobi behind due to the swift turn of events.

Kakashi, witnessing this, approached the dying Obito and finally learned the reason behind Obito's betrayal.

Realizing the reason, Kakashi finally told the true story, and in the end, they could reconcile.

As the final and true reward, Obito, this time, handed over his last Sharingan to Kakashi, giving Kakashi a complete set of Sharingan.

As no medical ninja could regenerate a shattered heart, Obito ultimately died beside his friend and rival with a smile, as this time he could meet the person he loved the most.

 ----

Madara, having obtained both of his Rinnegan, took control of Gedo Mazo.

Gedo Mazo, initially pressured by the attacks from the Jinchuriki, rapidly increased its combat abilities under Madara's control.

At first, Madara wanted to play against the Jinchuriki, but considering Kaoru's presence threatening all his plans, he chose to quickly revive the Ten-Tails.

With a few hand seals, Madara ordered Gedo Mazo to devour the tailed beasts.

Gedo Mazo opened its mouth, and in an instant, dozens of giant chains made of pure chakra captured the Jinchuriki, still in their tailed-beast modes.

Due to the difference in strength between Madara and the Jinchuriki, he easily dragged them, and one by one, the tailed beasts were swallowed by the Gedo Mazo statue, starting from Saiken, the six-tailed, and finally reaching Kurama.

The event took place very quickly, demonstrating the power difference, and the Kage had no chance to do anything.

Moreover, Madara used Wood Style to restrain the Kage, ensuring that none of them could hinder Madara from capturing the tailed beasts.

After swallowing the tailed beasts, Gedo Mazo acted strangely and began to scream as if in pain.

A massive chakra also radiated from its body, disrupting gravity principles across the battlefield. The earth trembled, large rocks slowly floated in the air, and simultaneously, the Gedo Mazo statue transformed into a terrifying monster with ten tails.

As Gedo Mazo transformed into the Ten-Tails, Kaoru calmly observed the process, and after the Ten-Tails truly appeared, Kaoru began to move.

For him, a giant exceeding 1000 meters was an excellent target for practicing cool techniques.

"Thirteen heavenly swords that destroy the world - The first sword: Gods devouring wolf - Fenrir." After Kaoru recited the mantra, the sky darkened again, and this time a creature resembling a fully formed wolf made entirely of ice descended from the clouds and immediately pounced on the newly awakened Ten-Tails.

Madara look around to find the owner of this wolf and when he found Kaoru, realizing that he is owner of the creature, Madara immediately shouted.

"You again!!!"

"Ciao!" Kaoru greeted Madara casually, as if an old friend.

On the other side, the ice wolf summoned by Kaoru recklessly attacked the Ten-Tails. When the Ten-Tails summoned small monsters, Kaoru didn't back down and ordered his companion to create a pack of ice wolves.

"Tell me, kid! Why do you always obstruct all my plans?"

"It's easy. You know that human greed knows no bounds. When they no longer know what they want, seizing what belongs to others is the fastest path. In other words, the cycle will repeat even within an illusory world."

"Secondly, the chakra of this world is not limitless. When that chakra runs out, the illusion you create will also disappear. Then what? Chaos will escalate because those who were once satisfied suddenly lose all their comforts, and again, the cycle of killing for self-satisfaction will repeat."

"And lastly, the puppets won't realize they are being controlled unless the puppeteer wants them to know the truth. And when they find out they are mere puppets being manipulated? Once again, chaos will ensue."

"No matter what your reasons are, the way to achieve perfect peace for the world is by eradicating all human beings. As long as there are humans, there will always be greed, and with greed comes chaos and progress will continue to exist!"

"I may not support Hashirama's way of achieving peace by sending the Tailed Beasts to major villages, but that was enough to create temporary peace, right? Even though after Hashirama's death, the turmoil of war reappeared!"

Madara, hearing Kaoru's words, was momentarily silent. Hashirama was indeed a passive type, choosing a peaceful path through dialogue, while he was an aggressive type seeking peace with absolute power.

But this was the first time for Madara to meet someone as extreme as Kaoru, who preferred chaos, war, and suffering to persist because the only way to achieve peace was to destroy all humanity.

This time, Madara had to admit that even though he had lived much longer than Kaoru, his determination and readiness were still not as strong as Kaoru's. Even the thinking methods of Hashirama and himself couldn't be compared to Kaoru.

Regardless of Madara's reasoning, he still had faith in humanity. Even though he was reluctant, the fact that both he and Hashirama loved humanity could not be denied, unlike Kaoru, who could discard humans whenever he wanted.

"HAHAHA!!! I understand now. You truly are a monster, kid!"

"Thanks for the compliment! How about we continue the fight, Madara-san?"

Without waiting for any response, Kaoru and Madara continued their battle, and on the other side, the Ten-Tails became the punching bag for Kaoru's ice wolf.
