Chapter 515: The Attack of Gedō Mazō Part-2
"So, the leader finally joined the battle! But for what reason?" Shikaku rubs his chin in thought.
"Akatsuki's momentum is at an all-time high, while our shinobis are exhausted from today's grueling battle. Perhaps he wants to gain an advantage over us." Another shinobi remark.
"No, that doesn't seem to be the case." Minato and others notice Obito stores the two treasured artifacts in his Kamui dimension.
"Hmm… why is he after the two treasured tools of Sage of Six Paths?" The shinobis ponder.
"No… His objective seems to be the two brothers sealed within those vessels." Shikaku shakes his head.
"He is after the Nine-tails chakra. Since he can't capture Naruto, he requires another source to acquire the Nine-tails chakra." Minato speculates.
"Get back! Everyone retreats to the coastline."
Samui signals the shinobis from her company to retreat further away from the Gedō Mazō.
"Damn it… One monster after another! I can only hope that the rest of the battlefields are faring well." Samui clicks her tongue in worry.
Whoosh…
Choji flickers beside her with Atsui in his arms.
"How is he?" She inquires about the status of her brother.
"Multiple broken bones, fractures, bruises, and internal injuries. He will be fine after some treatment!" Ino inspects Atsui's body.
"Tch… this reckless brother of mine! Always trying to show off his cool side."
Shikamaru stares at the giant Gedō Mazō and sighs.
"This isn't someone we can contend against with just numbers. We need someone strong!"
ROOAAARR…
The Gedō Mazō opens its mouth and releases a powerful roar that generates shockwaves. It clasps both its hands and jumps high up in the air to slam down its fists on the ground.
Fwoosh…
The next second, a giant Susanoo appears beneath the Gedō Mazō and blocks its attack.
RUMBLE… RUMBLE…
The ground beneath the Susanoo crumbles from the force of the attack. Cracks appear on Susanoo's blade.
HAAH…
Izumi grits her teeth and channels lightning chakra through her entire Susanoo. The wings on Susanoo's back turn into an extra pair of arms. Each arm wields a lightning spear and smashes it into the Gedō Mazō.
BANG…
The black receiver rods on the Gedō Mazō's back absorb the chakra from her attack. However, a portion of the lightning still manages to hit the head of the Gedō Mazō.
A diagonal scar appears around Gedō Mazō's face.
ROOARR…
The Gedō Mazō yells in pain and clutches its forehead.
Fwoosh…
Izumi uses this opportunity to fly away and create some distance. Her Susanoo raises all of its arms and channels a large amount of lightning chakra.
RUMBLE… RUMBLE…
Lightning bolts strike down from the sky as Izumi holds a giant crimson lightning spear.
"Lightning Release: Kongōsho Vajra,"
The Susanoo holds a giant lightning spear with three prongs on each side. Izumi aims it towards the Gedō Mazō's naval area and fires it.
Shoom… josei
The lightning spear leaves behind a trail of lightning and, in the blink of an eye, appears in front of it.
Gedō Mazō crosses its arms to block the attack.
BANG…
The lightning spear pierces through its arm, but the Gedō Mazō manages to redirect the force of its attack.
Slash…
The lightning bolt slices an arm of the Gedō Mazō from the shoulder.
BANG…
The giant arm falls to the ground and raises a cloud of dust.
Crack… crack…
Numerous cracks appear on Izumi's Susanoo and it shatters into countless fragments that dissipate into the surroundings. Izumi falls to the ground, unconscious.
ROOAAAR…
The Gedō Mazō releases a roar of pain.
"She managed to slice one of Gedō Mazō's arms!" Tobi stares in Izumi's direction with shock.
"I must deal with her!"
He makes a Ram hand seal and controls the Gedō Mazō to smash Izumi to a pulp.
ROOAARR…
The Gedō releases a roar and smashes down its other hand on top of Izumi.
RUMBLE…
Shockwaves erupt from Gedō's strike. A giant pillar of smoke and dust rises in the air.
The Gedō raises its hand to reveal Izumi encased within a transparent green barrier.
"CURSES!" Tobi clicks his tongue, and the Gedō raises its hand again to strike down the barrier.
Back at the headquarters,
Shikaku and the rest are shocked by Izumi's combat prowess. However, their cheers soon turn into worry as Izumi's most powerful attack only manage to slice an arm of the giant monster.
Their heart lurches in pain when Izumi's Susanoo crumbles apart.
"I will step on the battlefield!" Minato decides to participate in the war.
"There is no need for that!"
Swoosh…
Suddenly, a cloaked figure appears out of nowhere in the central room.
"WHAT?!"
The eyes of everyone in the room widen as some unknown figure managed to infiltrate so deep inside the Allied Shinobi HQ without any warning.
"Who are you?" The Kumogakure elder steps forward with a kunai in his hand.
"Uncle Minato!"
Two little figures peek out of the cloaked figure's back.
"Tatsuya, Kanna!" Minato lowers his guard a bit as he recognizes the two little fellows.
"Then does this mean?" He turns his attention toward the cloaked figure.
"Yes, it's me!"
Izuna removes his cloak to reveal his face. His face has grown mature over the years.
"It's really you?!" Minato's eye turns moist, but he holds back his emotions and nods his head.
"You look a bit different from before!" Minato attempts to sense Izuna's chakra but there his senses cannot capture Izuna's chakra signature.
"Well, a lot of things happened in these past few years." Izuna shrugs his shoulder and turns towards the visuals of the battlefield.
Back at the coastal battlefield,
GAH…
Obito spits out a mouthful of blood and holds his left eye. Blood trickles down his Rinnegan as his chakra reserves hit rock bottom.
"I underestimated the amount of chakra Rinnegan consumes to summon the Gedō Mazō. I have to retreat before I completely run out of chakra."
He casts another glance at Izumi and teleports away with his Kamui.
Soon after,
Poof…
The giant Gedō Mazō also disappears in a puff of white smoke.
"It's gone!"
The shinobis stare at each other's faces in relief. They fall down on their knees and cherish another moment of their survival.
Whoosh…
Samui and others flicker beside Izumi and support her.
"Medic! Any medic on the field! She needs emergency treatment!"
A few members of the medic team quickly appear beside her.
-------------------------
On the other side of the battlefield,
After an intense battle with Blue B, Bee finally manages to overpower him.
"Bee, seal him with this sealing tag!" Motoi tosses a sealing tag toward Killer Bee.
Bee grabs the sealing tag and applies it on Blue B's head. A series of sealing runes crawls across Blue B's body to seal him.
Suddenly,
RUMBLE…
The ground beneath the group crumbles, and a giant erupts from the ground.
"What? What's this?" Bee swiftly jumps back and warily stares at the vines.
The vines grab Blue B's body and swiftly disappear into the ground.
"Huh?!" Bee and Motoi tilt their head in confusion.
"What was that?"
"Bee, let's head towards the Raikage-sama's battlefield."
"Wee!! Brother, I am coming!"
-------------------------
Swoosh…
Clang… clang…
Naruto and Nagato separate from each other. Naruto is holding a kunai in his hand while Nagato is wielding a black receiver rod.
Hmm…
Both of them raise their head and glances toward the coastal battlefield.
"This chakra!" Naruto's eyes narrow as he senses a sinister chakra in that direction.
"It's the Gedō Mazō!" Nagato also senses the chakra of the giant statue.
"What's it doing here? Who else possesses the Rinnegan?"
"Zetsu stole your eyes and now it's in the possession of Obito." Naruto informs Nagato.
"Obito?!" Nagato frowns.
"It's the guy you all thought to be, Madara Uchiha. His real name is Obito Uchiha, and he seems to be a student of my dad!"
"WHAT? So, all these years he fooled us in the name of Madara Uchiha?" Nagato sighs and shakes his head.
"It doesn't matter now! I am long dead!"
Nagato jumps back and claps his hand.
"Naruto, be careful! I am about to use my most powerful technique!"
<Chibaku Tensei! >
He releases an orb with an immense gravitational pull toward the sky. The powerful attractive force from the orb rips apart the surroundings and pulls everything towards it.
'Naruto, be careful!' Kurama warns him.
"I have fought against it before. I know its weakness!"
Naruto creates a chakra arm and gathers the red and blue chakra particles. He compresses them together to create a Rasenshuriken. Naruto adds Senjutsu chakra to the Tailed-Beast Rasenshuriken and throws it toward the gravitational sphere.
BOOM…
The tailed beast Rasenshuriken explodes in contact with the Chibaku Tensei sphere and disrupts its gravitational pull. With a powerful burst of energy, it collapses on itself and vanishes into a swirling burst of radiation.
