"Dance of the Willow!" Kimimaro slashed fiercely at Suigetsu, but Suigetsu swiftly blocked the attack with his tanto knife.
"Dance of the Eightfold Rhythm!" Kimimaro roared, his deadly bones piercing out from his chest like thorns, directly impaling Suigetsu.
Kankuro's eyes widened in surprise, but then Suigetsu calmly took a breath and whispered, "Explosion!"
Suddenly, Kimimaro was blasted away by the powerful detonation.
"You still remember that our Hōzuki clan once restrained you, Kimimaro? Did you forget the night of the massacre?" Suigetsu said with a sly grin.
Kimimaro's face darkened. "Damn you!" he snarled. "Dance of the Eightfold Rhythm!"
Kimimaro lunged at Suigetsu, stabbing rapidly with his bone daggers. Then, with a sudden leap, he jumped behind Suigetsu as countless sharp bones erupted from the ground and his body, piercing Suigetsu in a brutal bone prison!
"Suigetsu! Stop toying around!" Karin called out impatiently.
"Ha! You don't often get an opponent like this," Suigetsu chuckled, then dissolved into a puddle of water, reforming moments later unharmed.
"Water Style: Hydrification Technique!" Suigetsu shouted, drawing water from the nearby lake to envelop his body. A giant water beast formed, encircling Kimimaro.
"Karin!" Suigetsu called.
Karin quickly threw down a seal scroll, trapping Kimimaro with a Four-Image Seal.
"Damn it!" Kimimaro struggled fiercely but was held fast.
"As expected of the Hōzuki clan's prodigy, your sealing techniques are precise!" Suigetsu complimented with a grin.
Karin smiled shyly. Without delay, the group pressed forward.
Along the coastline battlefield...
All the White Zetsu clones were beheaded, and the strongest Impure World Reincarnations sealed.
"The war is just beginning..." Kakuzu muttered, pressing down Chōji's fist.
"There's something wrong with your judgement," Darui said coldly. "We've already won."
He surveyed the battlefield where coalition shinobi tidied the aftermath.
"Summoning Technique!" a voice rang out across the field.
Boom! The massive Gedo Statue was summoned with a thunderous roar.
"What?!" The coalition forces gasped in shock. "What is that?!"
"Cut it down!" Darui shouted boldly. "What use is a big body?"
"Your judgement is flawed," Kakuzu sneered, clutching his weapon.
In a flash, Tenten's chakra blades sliced through Kakuzu's defense, sending him flying.
"Annoying," Tenten muttered, narrowing her eyes.
"Go! Gedo Statue!" Obito commanded, and the giant statue charged toward the shoreline battlefield.
"Chōji!" Choza yelled, transforming into a giant with booming strength.
"Father!" Chōji responded, growing massive in tandem.
The two giants barreled toward the Gedo Statue.
Boom! The statue roared and unleashed a massive chakra storm that swept the battlefield in a violent tempest.
Obito watched the scene unfold, eyes cold and calculating.
"What the hell is this?!" the coalition murmured as the huge statue overshadowed them.
"According to the Kazekage's intel, this is the container used to seal the Tailed Beasts," Shikamaru said grimly. "Including the Eight-Tails' jinchūriki... They've almost gathered them all!"
"Earth Style: Mud Wall Technique!" Two massive hemispherical barriers formed to block the statue's advance.
The Gedo Statue retaliated, its back releasing a torrent of lightning that swept across the battlefield.
At that moment, a figure clad in the Uchiha clan's uniform emerged, walking calmly onto the battlefield.
"Uchiha Susanoo Team! Let's fight!" Fugaku Uchiha shouted, raising his hand.
More than a dozen Uchiha clansmen stepped forward, eyes cold and determined as they faced the Gedo Statue.
"Susanoo!" Fugaku commanded.
Boom! Dozens of massive Susanoo warriors appeared, surrounding the Gedo Statue with a display of overwhelming power.
"Hmph?!" Obito, hiding nearby, stared in stunned disbelief. "How many Mangekyō users...?"
He focused harder.
"Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan... All of them!"
What Obito didn't realize was the scale of Naruto's plan with Shisui Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan throughout the clan.
First, all the peaceful Uchiha who had opened their eyes were identified.
Then, through shared bloodlines and careful transfer of ocular powers, fourteen clan members obtained the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan—the pinnacle of ocular power.
Hence, this massive " Susanoo force."
"Amaterasu!" Fugaku went on the offensive, black flames engulfing the Gedo Statue.
"Inferno Style: Flame Control!" a cyan Susanoo wielded a purple spiral sword, controlling the black flames.
"Susanoo Ninety-Nine!" Countless spiral swords, wreathed in black fire, shot toward the statue.
Obito blinked, dumbfounded as the Susanoo barrage pummeled the statue.
"Why didn't you open your eyes earlier? Madara and I struggled for decades with a handful of Mangekyō users, and now you're practically all awakened!" Obito muttered bitterly.
He turned and retreated toward headquarters in a daze.
"Prepare the contact bag! We must retrieve the Fourth Hokage's soul from the Shinigami's stomach!" Obito barked grimly.
At the same time, Kabuto, at the command center, swept the chess pieces from the board.
All the powerful reincarnations disappeared from the battlefield.
Night fell, and as the flames died down, many shinobi collapsed from exhaustion.
"Organize the patrol squads! Others, set up camp and rest!" the captains ordered.
Neji lay on the ground, drained from overusing his Byakugan.
"I said it's fine, no need for medical ninjas!" Neji muttered with closed eyes.
"You're pushing yourself too hard! Your body can't take this!" Tenten scolded gently.
"Stop nagging!" Neji snapped, then opened his eyes and looked toward Akamaru, who sat silently beside him.
"You're..." Tenten started.
"Enough," Neji said sharply.
In the logistics camp...
"Please wait! The sensory ninjas must confirm your chakra levels before entry!"
"Fine! Just hurry up!" Neji replied impatiently.
Under the moonlight, Neji's weary face appeared before the guards.
