Free Web NovelNaruto, cloaked in his KCM 2 form, looked toward Inoiki and said,
"I can only maintain this for five minutes. We have to follow your plan within these five minutes."
As soon as Inoiki heard this, he replied without hesitation,
"You don't have to worry. Five minutes should be more than enough if my plan goes accordingly."
Naruto nodded, golden chakra flickering around him like a living flame.
Then Inoiki added, his tone sharpening slightly,
"And use Sage Mode. Normal chakra attacks won't work on him. Only Senjutsu chakra will."
Naruto gave another firm nod. Inside the blazing chakra form of the Nine-Tails, he closed his eyes and began to focus, drawing in natural energy. No room for error… It would take him a little time to enter Sage Mode.
But Inoiki didn't wait.
Even as Naruto concentrated, the air ahead shifted—Obito had already moved. The Sword of Nunoboko reappeared in his hand as he dashed forward, his speed tearing through the ground beneath him.
Inoiki surged ahead to meet him, his own movement just as swift, the distance between them vanishing in an instant.
Then—
Their swords clashed.
The impact detonated into the earth, carving out a massive crater around them as debris and dust exploded outward. Shockwaves rippled through the battlefield, cracking the ground beneath their feet.
But Obito wasn't alone in his assault.
Behind him, the God Tree stirred—its massive roots twisting and surging forward like living serpents, tearing through the ground as they lunged at Inoiki from all directions.
Inoiki remained unbothered.
With a single thought, hundreds of knives rose around him, suspended in the air through his psychokinesis. Flames ignited along their edges, flickering violently as they began circling him at high speed like a blazing storm.
The incoming roots were met head-on.
The knives sliced through them relentlessly, severing thick tendrils mid-motion. At the same time, several roots veered away, shooting toward Naruto—toward the towering Nine-Tails chakra form.
But Inoiki's control didn't falter.
His blades shifted instantly, streaking across the battlefield in arcs of fire, intercepting the roots before they could reach Naruto. One after another, the roots were cut down, writhing as flames clung to their severed ends.
Burning them entirely wasn't easy—they resisted the flames. But that had never been the goal.
Delay… not destruction.
Each blade scorched the exact point where the roots were severed, disrupting their regeneration.
And it worked.
From every cut, regrowth slowed—delayed just enough to matter. freewebnσvel.cѳm
All of this unfolded in less than thirty seconds.
Inside the Nine-Tails chakra form, Naruto's transformation completed. A shadow-like pigmentation formed around his eyes, and when he opened them, his pupils had shifted into a distinct plus sign.
KCM 2—combined with Sage Mode.
Without hesitation, he focused.
In front of the Nine-Tails' mouth, chakra gathered rapidly, compressing into a dense, swirling sphere. A Tailed Beast Bomb formed—dark, immense, and pulsing with overwhelming power. Naruto infused it with Senjutsu chakra, sharpening its destructive force. This will hit…
The moment it stabilized—
It was fired.
The attack tore through the air at incredible speed, its path distorting everything around it as it locked onto Obito.
Obito reacted instantly.
Truth-Seeking Orbs surged forward, merging into a defensive shield just as the attack arrived.
Then—
Impact.
A catastrophic explosion erupted, the force ripping across the battlefield, wind and debris spiraling violently outward.
Yet, the shield held.
Cracks spread across its surface, fragments breaking away under the strain—but it was enough. Obito remained unharmed, though the shockwave forced him back several steps.
Nothing more.
Still, he understood.
Senjutsu…
That was why the attack had affected him.
And in that brief moment—
Inoiki moved.
This was the opening he had been waiting for.
His gaze sharpened as his psychokinesis surged inward.
"Neural Disruption."
Invisible force pierced into Obito's body, targeting his neural structure. Signals faltered—scrambled at their very origin.
The effect was immediate.
Obito's body lost cohesion. His limbs faltered, his control slipping as if his own body no longer obeyed him. At the same time, his connection to the Ten-Tails weakened.
Then everything destabilized.
The Ten-Tails' chakra erupted violently inside him. His body began swelling grotesquely—arms thickening to several feet across, stretching unnaturally, other parts distorting as well. His form twisted into something monstrous as unstable chakra surged outward.
Now!
Naruto acted instantly.
The massive Nine-Tails chakra form surged forward. One of its tails extended—not piercing, but phasing—slipping through Obito's body like a ghost entering from behind.
Inside—
Kurama's chakra connected with the Ten-Tails.
And within it—
He found fragments.
His own chakra.
There it is…
Outside, Inoiki moved again.
He entered the Nine-Tails chakra form, passing through its glowing exterior. The moment he did, a surge of yang energy flooded his body. Warmth spread through him, fatigue fading rapidly. So this is…
But he didn't linger.
This wasn't the time.
Focusing immediately, he used the Nine-Tails as a medium, channeling his vast mental power.
He reached deeper.
Into the Ten-Tails.
There, he found the scattered chakra of the other Tailed Beasts.
One by one, he seized them and guided them outward, attaching each to a different tail of the Nine-Tails like binding ropes.
And then—
They pulled.
Kurama led.
Inoiki reinforced it.
The tug of war began.
Phantom forms of the other Tailed Beasts emerged from Obito's body, glowing faint green, each tethered to a tail of the Nine-Tails.
The battlefield trembled under the invisible strain.
Within moments, nearly forty percent of their chakra had been pulled free.
Then—
Obito regained control.
His neural system stabilized, his body returning to normal as his grip over the Ten-Tails snapped back into place.
He resisted.
He pulled back.
The flow of chakra slowed as he fought to stop the extraction, refusing to let the Ten-Tails weaken.
But the balance had already shifted.
On one side—
Obito.
On the other—
Naruto. Kurama. Inoiki.
Together, they pulled.
Relentlessly.
The advantage was clear.
Obito felt it. This can't continue…
So he acted.
Two Truth-Seeking Orbs moved toward them—toward the massive Nine-Tails chakra form housing Naruto and Inoiki.
As they approached—
They changed.
Their dark surfaces turned into a blinding white glow.
Inoiki's eyes narrowed.
They're going to explode.
