Chapter 586: Obito’s Scheme
The red and blue-tailed beast chakra gathers in front of the massive flower-like protrusion. A massive swirl of nature energy also appears around the tailed beast bomb.
"That's"
Naruto's and Jiraiya's expression turns ugly.
"It's adding the Nature energy to the tailed beast bomb." Both of them exclaim.
SHUA
The tailed beast bomb instantly inflates to twice the size of the already massive Ten-tail. The humongous-tailed beast bomb bloats the sky and distorts the surrounding space.
Rumble Rumble
The weight of the tailed beast bomb sinks the Ten-tail further deeper into the ground. This tremendous surge of chakra creates a major tectonic shift.
"The continent, the landscape, it's changing!" Ao and the other sensor shinobis warn.
A massive crack appears on the ground and splits the entire continent into another sub-continent due to the movement of the tectonic plates.
"The Ten-tail's power changed the terrain." Onoki and others exclaim.
They recall a legend in their historic clan records. During the era before the Sage of the Six Paths, the entire landmass was one giant, collective supermassive continent. There was no moon in the sky.
After the battle between the Sage of the Six Paths and the beast, the land split into several continents and islands. The moon also came into existence because of that battle.
"So, those legends were true!" They stare at the humongous-tailed beast bomb in trepidation.
"Can Lady Kushina's barrier block this attack?" Doubts appear in their heart.
Even Kushina, who is silently monitoring the situation from the In-Y HQ, is unsure of the prowess of her barrier.
"What if I fail?" Such a question appears in her mind.
"NO! I won't fail." Kushina shakes her head.
"I must trust myself!"
With these thoughts, she activates another failsafe in the barrier. Kushina makes a series of hand signs and slams her palm on the huge control formation in front of her.
The core control formation of the barrier is in front of him.
Shoom Shoom
The barrier transforms again.
"I will calculate the trajectory of the tailed beast bomb and focus most of the defensive power of the barrier at the point of contact. It will strengthen the barrier at that point.
On the battlefield, the massive barrier transforms. Numerous hexagonal barrier cells realign their positions and concentrate a large amount of chakra around them. The reserve of the chakra ores deplete rapidly. Kushina even instructs them to use almost eighty percent of their reserves for defense.
Madara and Black Zetsu glance at the situation from a high vantage point.
"Interesting!" Madara chuckles.
"The Ten-tail feels threatened by these shinobis. So, in a desperate attempt, it's trying to obliterate them with one last strike. Though, this will weaken its will even further." He turns towards Black Zetsu.
"What do you think? Can the Allied Shinobi forces withstand an attack that's on par with the force of wraith of the entire planet?"
Black Zetsu ponders for a while and shakes his head.
"According to logic, it shouldn't be possible. But these shinobis have surprised and proved us time and time again."
Hahaha
Madara chuckles.
"You are right!"
Hmm
Suddenly, Madara frowns and glances in a direction.
"This chakra?!" His eyes narrow slightly.
"It's really him!" A grin appears on Madara's face.
"So, even you are excited about our reunion, old friend!"
Whoosh
Madara casts a last glance at the ten-tail and flickers in another direction.
"This war, it's becoming more and more fun." He grins.
---------
SHOOM
After charging up the Tailed Beast bomb to the maximum, the Ten-tail fires it. The recoil of the jutsu pushes its massive body back.
The giant-tailed beast bomb creates a gully along its trajectory. It crosses the gap of twenty kilometers within seconds and approaches the barrier.
HAAH
Kushina and other members of the barrier team clap their hands and infuse their chakra to the extreme. The nerves and veins pop out of their body.
Blood leaks from the corner of their mouth, ears, nose, and eyes as they sustain a massive amount of chakra inflow.
This sudden surge of chakra further reinforces the barrier.
BANG
The tailed beast bomb finally strikes the barrier. The instant the tailed beast contacts the barrier, a massive surge of energy and a cascade of chaotic chakra spreads in the surroundings.
The explosion intensifies exponentially, creating an inferno within the barrier. The temperature soars to millions of degrees, hotter than the heart of the sun. An intense burst of high-energy chakra burst spread outwards like an invisible tsunami.
BANG BANG BANG
Several layers of the barrier shatter instantly. Most shinobis maintaining the barrier lose a lot of blood and pass out.
"REPLACEMENT!"
The captains monitoring the situation yell frantically. Other shinobis hurriedly take their position to maintain the barrier.
The cataclysmic release of energy manifested as a monstrous fireball tearing through layers and layers of the barrier. The shockwave races outward, shattering rocks and ground, and creating a colossal crater in its wake.
The barrier forcefully withstands the explosion and blots outwards to a frightening degree. The immense surge of energy seeks an outlet to escape.
Kushina also understands the severity of the situation. If this condition persists, then the barrier will shatter in no time.
"There must be an outlet for this energy to escape."
So, she decisively alters the barrier and opens a small gap on the top of the barrier. The surging chaotic energy of the explosion finally finds an outlet.
The blast shot skyward, forming a massive mushroom-shaped cloud as the superheated air and debris rushed upward. The cloud of energy seems to touch the heavens. It pierces through layers and layers of the atmosphere and shoots into the sky as a huge pillar.
After the explosion, a wave of destruction ripples outward from the epicenter. The shockwave travels for miles, leaving a trail of devastation. Cracks appear on the ground surrounding the barrier. The shinobis near the barrier topple and lose their balance.
The barrier that seems to defy the very fate is now barely withholding its integrity with only a few thin layers. Its initial hemispherical shape has morphed into an elliptical dome.
Several web-like cracks are spread across the surface of the barrier.
Bang bang
Several of the chakra nodes explode one after another from the tremendous flow of chakra. The light in the Fuinjutsu formations around the barrier slowly whittles down.
Bzzt Bzzt
A few fuinjutsu formation flickers and die down.
Sigh
Kushina sighs and shakes her head.
"The barrier is damaged beyond repair. I am afraid I won't be able to reactivate it in the meantime."
"How's the situation inside the storm of nature energy?"
The shinobis frantically seek an answer.
As the dust settles, and the fiery storm subsides, a silent, deadly menace emerges. The massive body of Ten-tail is slowly withering and decaying. Its gigantic eye hung loosely from its forehead. Its limbs are suspended lifelessly and its flesh and skin decay slowly.
"It seems to have lost a lot of vitality in that explosion." Tsunade comments as she senses the waning vitality of Ten-tail.
"It's akin to a withered old man that is dying slowly." Sakumo remarks.
"It's the result of the recoil of its previous attack. Since we confined the entire force of the explosion within that barrier, the Ten-tail felt the full brunt of its own power. That explosion ravaged its body and now it's barely holding on. I might collapse anytime." Rasa comments.
"Serves it right!" Naruto snorts.
"Naruto, if the ten-tails die now, the other tailed beast will also die with it. It will take centuries for them to resurrect." Kurama remarks.
"That I" Suddenly, Naruto feels guilty.
"Naruto, don't feel guilty. I can hear the thoughts of my brothers and sisters and they are fine with their sacrifice." Kurama shakes his head.
"K-Kurama, is there a method to save them?" Naruto gulps his saliva.
Sigh
Kurama shakes his head.
-----------------
GAH
Obito spits out a mouthful of blood. His body function deteriorates rapidly after losing his heart.
"Obito, you!" Kakashi's blood-stained hands tremble. He weakly falls to the ground as the trauma from the past resurfaces.
The innocent face of Rin appears in his vision.
"Thank you, Kakashi!"
Obito and Rin's faces overlap.
"Thank you for freeing me from his control!" Obito remarks.
Crack
Suddenly, the sound of glass shattering echoes in the Kamui dimension. An invisible curse seal appears in the hole around Obito's heart. The curse seal fades after Obito's heart gets destroyed.
Bleurgh
Obito spits out a mouthful of blood, but a smile appears on his face.
"My gamble paid off. The curse in my heart is gone. Now, I am no longer under anyone's control." He pulls out a black receiver rod from his chest.
The rod turns into dust fragments and disperses.
Obito's vision blurs and he slowly loses consciousness.
"It's about time!" Obito ignores Kakashi and exits the Kamui dimension.
Fwoosh
He reappears on top of the dying Ten-tail.
"The Allied Shinobi Force didn't disappoint me. Now it will be easier for me to control the Ten-tail."
Swish swish
Obito makes a series of hand signs and slams his palm on top of its head.
