Naruto: Check out these scenes! #41

Uchiha Madara eyed the five Kage daring to confront him, a sly smile spreading across his face. "Hehe, you arrived just in time; otherwise, I would’ve lost interest in this battle."

"I apologize, Princess Tsunade," began the Raikage. "I need time to heal my comrades."

At that moment, Tsunade positioned her hands on the backs of Ōnoki and Gaara, channeling her chakra into them. Their injuries began to mend at an extraordinary pace.

The Raikage, enveloped in his lightning armor, declared, "Mizukage, let's make our move!"

"Dissolution! Melting Release Technique!" Mei Terumi shouted, forming seals and unleashing a corrosive solution that rapidly corroded a nearby stone.

Yet, Madara dismissed this attack with ease, avoiding it effortlessly without even using the Rinnegan's absorption ability, simply relying on his agility.

Just as he dodged Mei's assault, a flash of movement caught his eye, too quick for even the Rinnegan to predict.

BOOM!

The Fourth Raikage, infused with lightning chakra, executed a swift attack that struck Madara in the chest with such force he was sent crashing into a tree.

"So fast!" Madara exclaimed, momentarily taken aback.

"Lightning Release: Lariat!"

Revealed as the attacker, the Raikage charged at Madara again, delivering a vicious knife-hand strike.

BOOM!!!

This time, Madara was cautious. He quickly deployed his Susanoo to absorb the impact, but even so, the skeleton cracked under the explosive force, forcing Madara into the ground.

"Still not enough?"

"Not even close!"

Naruto, recalling how Tsunade had collapsed during the last battle with Pein, called out, "Grandma Tsunade, are you okay? Aren't you exhausted?"

Tsunade reassured him, "Don’t worry, this is just for healing; it’s not as taxing as my fight with Pain."

Naruto urgently requested, "Then please heal me! I can’t let this shadow clone vanish!"

"That won’t be necessary," Tsunade replied, drawing puzzled looks.

Ōnoki explained, "This war isn’t just about protecting you anymore."

Initially, their aim was to prevent the tailed beasts from falling into the hands of the masked man, making them oppose Naruto and Killer Bee joining the battle. But now, the stakes had shifted; it was a war for the entire world.

Despite his current struggles, Madara remained unperturbed. "Lightning Release's instant body movement combined with the Melting Release's bloodline limit makes for a formidable assault."

Mei Terumi quipped, "Though I prefer men who don’t melt, you should reconsider your options."

The Raikage noted, "If I can’t even keep up with his speed, I need to amplify my strength to breach his defenses."

"Oh, really? What about your own defense?" Madara sneered, initiating the expansion of his Susanoo, forming a massive avatar that manifested several Yasakani no Magatama in his hands.

SHHHHHH...

Members of the ninja coalition braced themselves, anticipating disaster when suddenly, a stone and sand shield materialized in front of them, blocking the attack.

"Double shield of sand and rock? Not bad!" Madara remarked, intrigued.

"Get ready! Mizukage, Raikage, I have a plan!" Ōnoki ordered, rallying Mei Terumi and the Raikage.

"Water Release! Mist Hiding Technique!"

Mei unleashed a dense fog, engulfing the battlefield and obscuring visibility, even for the Sharingan and Rinnegan.

As Madara's vision blurred, he chuckled, "Are you trying to blind the Rinnegan?"

"Now, Raikage!"

A terrifying aura erupted from the fog as the Raikage charged forward, alongside Ōnoki, who used his Light and Heavy Rock Technique to enhance the Raikage's speed to unprecedented levels.

"Super! Weighted Rock Jutsu!"

Upon contact with Susanoo, Ōnoki altered the ninjutsu empowering the Raikage, exponentially increasing his attack's power.

CRACK!

The surface of Susanoo shattered, and the shockwave sent Madara sprawling, instinctively raising his arms for protection.

With that blow, Susanoo was blasted hundreds of meters away.

Naruto exclaimed, "Now’s your chance, Grandma Tsunade!"

Yet, Ōnoki interrupted, floating toward Naruto. "Listen, Naruto... the reason I entered this war was to defeat the Akatsuki. I had no choice but to ally with you."

Glaring toward Madara, he continued, "However, fighting alongside you has changed my perspective. Now, I just want to stand as the Tsuchikage of the Shinobi Alliance."

Positioning himself defiantly against Madara, Ōnoki declared, "The once-fractured ninja villages are unifying. If this continues, we might indeed reshape our chaotic world."

The Raikage added, "We’ll handle Madara here, and we will prevail! This is the first step toward breaking the cycle of vengeance."

[Uchiha Madara: Ōnoki, I didn’t expect you to voice such ideals.]

[Ōnoki: Not just you; I never thought I'd say it either.]

[Senju Hashirama: Let’s remove the barriers and fight together. I never expected this vision would materialize today.]

[Senju Tobirama: This is only possible because we stand against a common enemy.]

Gaara placed a reassuring hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Leave this to us. You still have to contend with the other Madara. This is our first step towards hope for the future."

Tsunade rallied everyone, "Regardless of the outcome of this battle, it signifies the end of the war. We’ll protect you here, and we ask you to safeguard us elsewhere."

"Naruto, the five Kage have something to entrust you..."

"We must win!"

The resounding declaration of the five Kage resonated, filling Naruto with resolve. After a brief moment, he made the decisive choice to disperse his shadow clone.

"Then I’ll win!"

As the clone dissipated into smoke, Naruto on another battlefield received the collective will of the Five Kage, looking directly at the masked man Madara before him, he charged without hesitation.
