Chapter 345: Fated Fight

Uchiha Yoru and Uchiha Madara jointly unleash the Wood Release: Advent of Flowering Trees, with massive vines on the battlefield intertwining and crushing each other.

In just a moment, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but show a solemn expression, noticing that the wood release he summoned was clearly at a disadvantage.

"Never thought this youngster's growth would be so rapid, mastering Wood Release so adeptly."

However, Obito coldly laughed, "Uchiha Yoru, I've already seen through your Sharingan."

"The ninja world has been exploring your Sharingan abilities, but so far, no one has forced you to use them, not because they can't, but because you've always been using them!"

At that moment, Obito confidently smirked, "Your Sharingan eye technique should enhance genjutsu and ninjutsu, otherwise such high-level techniques wouldn't be so easily executed."

As Obito confidently revealed Uchiha Yoru's Sharingan abilities, many ninjas in the distance were shocked.

The powers of the Sharingan are outrageous, not just enhancing ninjutsu and genjutsu. For an ordinary Jonin, it might not seem extraordinary, but for a terrifyingly powerful ninja like Uchiha Yoru, enhancing ninjutsu and genjutsu is almost monstrous.

Uchiha Yoru looked at Obito with a crisp laugh and a smile.

"Not bad, for someone at the bottom of the class, you've started to think. You can actually discern my Sharingan's abilities, but sadly, the weak will always be weak."

Dōjutsu: Sanrin Myojin, also known as the Eyes of a Sage, can manipulate natural energy, boosting the power of ninjutsu and genjutsu by several times when releasing techniques using the Sharingan to control natural energy.

Instantly, Uchiha Yoru, Uchiha Madara, and Obito engage in a battle among the vines.

Clashing weapons, Uchiha Yoru's body is flickering with lightning.

Raiton: Lightning Armor. As Uchiha Yoru's left eye, the Sanrin Myojin, spins, the power of the Lightning Armor drastically increases, and he enters a Sage-like state.

"Uchiha Yoru, I've already seen through your eye techniques!"

Fire Release: Grand Fire Annihilation

Uchiha Yoru leaps and spews a terrifying fire ninjutsu that looks like a meteor, especially terrifying to the ninjas below.

The Fire Release technique covers the sky, truly terrifying.

Fire Release: Grand Fire Extinguisher

Fire Release: Wild Wind Dance

Uchiha Yoru's terrifying fire ninjutsu is clearly enhanced by his dōjutsu. Uchiha Madara's fire ninjutsu is noticeably weaker. At that moment, Obito fiercely unleashes his terrifying fire ninjutsu.

As the fire techniques clash, suddenly, a massive fire technique starts to be devoured, and Obito's expression changes.

"Obito, this is my fight!"

Uchiha Madara's voice resonates on the battlefield with a tone of anger, and at that moment, Obito realizes Madara is angry.

"Then, I'll deal with the other side."

Although Obito looks somewhat displeased, seeing Tsunade and the First Hokage in the distance, he rushes off with a flash of anger in his eyes.

As the flames dissipate, Obito's figure has already vanished, leaving only Uchiha Madara with the residual heat of the fire ninjutsu on his hand.

Beneath a pair of mysterious Rinnegan eyes, Uchiha Madara uses the Preta Path ability to absorb the terrifying fire-style jutsu.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yoru smiles, "Although we both have opened the Rinnegan, the same eyes can be strong or weak depending on the person."

"Youngster!" Uchiha Madara, enraged yet laughing, hasn't been looked down upon like this for a long time.

"I wasn't serious before, but now you! You're too arrogant."

Facing Uchiha Madara's roar, Uchiha Yoru calmly says, "Madara, do you also wish to dance?"

Boom! At this moment, Uchiha Madara is furious. These are all his words, and this kid is too detestable.

Both possess the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and the Rinnegan, a battle at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Boom! On this vast land erupts the grandest ninja war.

Countless ninjas are embroiled in the battle, many running to the outskirts to avoid being harmed by the fearsome combat, leaving the center for the terrifying Kage-level fighters.

"Naruto!"

From a distance, the Fourth Hokage, Minato, speaks gravely to his son, "Naruto, give up those unrealistic dreams and be a true ninja."

Originally in the timeline, Minato didn't oppose his son because Naruto was always with Konoha, and the Five Great Ninja Villages were weaker compared to Uchiha Madara.

So Minato had no objections to Naruto's ninja path, especially as the cooperation of the Five Great Ninja Villages, fueled by years of hatred, needed Naruto's will to ease tensions.

But now it's different.

Konoha, the Mist, and the Sand, the three great ninja villages are at peace, not quite one family but close companions, and with Uchiha Yoru's relationships with the leaders of the three villages, they are on the verge of true unity in the next generation.

With Konoha's absolute advantage, now aiming to unify the ninja world, Minato agrees, but his naive son insists on resolving the war.

Thinking Konoha is weak? With such a favorable situation at hand, anyone who tries to stop the war is an enemy.

Therefore, this time Minato doesn't agree with his son and is filled with anger.

"Naruto, listen to your mother, return and be a regular ninja. With your father here, you won't be extracted from the Nine-Tails."

Compared to Minato's greater cause, as a mother, Kushina is more concerned for her son, after all, she is just a mother, and the status of being a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is not a fond memory.

"Father, you!"

The greatest pain is not being understood by one's parents. At this moment, Naruto feels unprecedented pain and difficulty.

"Naruto, the war has already started. You only have two choices, either help the Ninja Alliance slaughter the Konoha ninjas or help Konoha defeat the Ninja Alliance."

Then, a flash of lightning, and Uchiha Sasuke appears in front of Naruto, his eyes filled with anger and incomprehension.

"Sasuke! Why don't you understand me!"

"Shut up! Every second I waste talking to you, another comrade in the village dies!"

Sasuke, who had already identified himself with the Sixth Hokage, could not tolerate Naruto's actions. As a powerful ninja and Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, as well as his own comrade, Naruto's supposed neutrality in the battlefield was absurd to him.

"Fourth Hokage, Obito has summoned the Gedo Statue, please help!"

At that moment, Sasuke expressed urgency not because of the deadlock but due to the Gedo Statue's terrifying destructive power, with a single Tailed Beast Ball being massively destructive.

Now, he was not just a ninja but the future Sixth Hokage, considering a much broader perspective.

The Fourth Hokage's space-time ninjutsu was the best for transferring Tailed Beast Balls.

After speaking, Sasuke, looking at Naruto, solemnly said, "Fourth Hokage, leave Naruto to me, rest assured, I will prevent my comrade from harming the village. I promise you."

"I won't extract the Nine-Tails from Naruto, and I will plead with Teacher Yoru!"

Sasuke's words implied that the Fourth Hokage would be most effective elsewhere on the battlefield.

Considering everything as a Hokage, Uchiha Sasuke's vision was no longer limited as before.

"Sasuke, thank you for your hard work!"

Finally, Minato, the Fourth Hokage who loved the village above all, solemnly bowed to Sasuke, acknowledging that Naruto's strength wasn't something he could easily counter.

Moreover, Naruto's determination meant he wouldn't be easily captured.

"Naruto!"

Kushina, disappointed, looked at her son and pleaded with Sasuke not to harm Naruto, acknowledging their failure to raise him without parents.

Boom!

A terrifying giant creature appeared on the battlefield, causing shock among the ninjas as it broke its chains and roared, revealing nine fearsome eyes and ten pillar-like protrusions on its back, a sight that truly shocked everyone.

"What is this monster!"

"This fearsome chakra!"

The appearance of the Gedo Statue shocked all ninjas on the battlefield, clearly indicating the fight was beyond their league.

Roar!

Upon its appearance, the Gedo Statue's terrifying roar filled with agony and anger echoed, signaling a fearsome battle ahead.

Seeing the painfully roaring Gedo Statue, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but glance over from a distance and exclaimed in shock, "Has it already come to this step! Is it about to evolve into the Ten-Tails stage?"

"Although it lacks the One-Tail and Nine-Tails, the chakra from these two Tailed Beasts has been absorbed, so the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path has already obtained the elements for evolution."

"Youngster, you dare to be distracted while fighting me, that's too arrogant!"

Uchiha Yoru, who was fighting and still concerned about the situation on other battlefields, angered Uchiha Madara, whose Rinnegan eyes emitted a cold light.

Roar~

In an instant, the distant Gedo Statue evolved into the Ten-Tails state, with ten tails flailing wildly, featuring a fierce, single cyclopean eye.

This eye was a complete fusion of the Rinnegan and the Sharingan, with circles and tomoe filled with a terrifying aura.

"Madara! Stop it!"

Just then, as Hashirama, with his Edo Tensei body, was about to use a terrifying wood style jutsu, he saw Uchiha Madara from afar and angrily looked at his good friend, seemingly persuading him to give up.

"Uchiha Yoru's ambition could at least change the future of the ninja world, although I don't know what the future holds. But Madara, your Infinite Tsukuyomi is an illusion! A fake!"

Watching Hashirama, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but show a trace of anger.

"I was wrong! You said I was wrong back then, but what about your peace? Look at how many wars have broken out in the ninja world in just a few years, and now you're telling me that Uchiha Yoru's plan is feasible. So why did you oppose it back then!"

Every time this matter was brought up, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, remembering how vicious Hashirama had been when he stabbed him in the back.

"Hashirama! I've lost interest in you."

Uchiha Madara said coldly, his eyes revealing the presence of the Rinnegan, "Now, my power is something you can't stop anymore."

"You dare to be distracted in our battle!"

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru mercilessly retorted, meanwhile, his body turned into a streak of lightning.

Sage Art: Chidori

A lightning bolt flashed, grazing past Uchiha Madara's armor. At that moment, Hashirama, seeing this from a distance, shouted anxiously, "Madara! Yoru!"

Before he could finish, he saw Uchiha Madara's angry gaze.

"Youngster, arrogant!"

"Madara! Dance with me!"

Uchiha Yoru and Uchiha Madara's battle heated up, while the Ninja Alliance forces on both sides were also fighting fiercely.

However, the Konoha side, being the top powerhouses, was almost pressing down on the Ninja Alliance.

After all, half of the Ninja Allied Forces are the forces under the various Daimyo of the Ninja world. Although they are now united, as the Daimyo pass away, their anger is overshadowed by a sense of emptiness.

The power of a ninja is peculiar; the more resolute the will, the stronger the ninja.

After all, Chakra is a product of an even mix of spiritual and physical energy, so ninjas with strong wills generally have immense spiritual power.

This creates a positive cycle: ninjas with strong spiritual power have more chakra, and the extra chakra strengthens their physique, making the strong stronger.

"Sasuke, look at this battlefield, it only brings more hatred, why can't everyone just stop!"

Naruto angrily looks at Sasuke, not understanding why even Sasuke doesn't understand him.

As the two clash, Sasuke coldly says, "Naruto, I understand your naive ideas, but I cannot agree with them."

"This is the harsh reality. The First Hokage had power that dominated the Ninja world, bringing peace, but as soon as he died, war broke out."

"Now, with Tsuchikage and Raikage colluding with Obito and Madara, they believe they have the power to oppose us, leading to today's war."

"Naruto, what you need to do now is stand with Konoha. Even if you still hold naive ideas, you should go and persuade the Tsuchikage and Raikage to submit to Konoha!"

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique

Sasuke breathes out fire dragons, his eyes showing a crimson Sharingan, angrily yelling at Naruto: "Naruto! Stop being delusional! I don't want to kill you!"

Boom~

Instantly, a golden Naruto unleashes several chakra hands, directly repelling these fire dragons. Facing Sasuke's angry roar, he retorts angrily: "Sasuke! Are you saying you could kill me anytime?"

Naruto, possessing even greater power, is also filled with anger, "Sasuke, I will subdue you. If you and I join forces, even Uchiha Yoru would consider our strength."

"How ridiculous!"

Sasuke roars, and in this moment, the figures of Sasuke and Naruto begin to overlap, reminiscent of the final valley battle between Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

The same angry questioning, the same irritation as if saying, can you kill me anytime?

Yet, it's as if the two have switched places, with Sasuke now standing from Konoha's perspective, inheriting the First Hokage's will, ready to fight anyone who threatens Konoha, even his own kin.

And Naruto seems to inherit Uchiha Madara's stubbornness, believing no one understands him, his anger reaching the Planet Otsutsuki.
