Thump… Thump… Thump…
Suddenly, several powerful chakra pulses spread across the ten-tail's body.
"This is…"
Naruto and the rest-pause in their tracks and stare at the surroundings.
"The nature energy… it's flowing towards the Ten-tail." Naruto and Jiraiya notice the vast flow of nature energy.
Even several sensors, shinobis, and Dojutsu users, also notice a vast funnel of chakra slowly drilling inside the ten-tail's body.
"The Ten-tail is evolving again!" Kurama warns Naruto.
GYAAHHH…
The Ten-tail releases an ear-piercing scream. Several shinobi hold their ear in pain.
Bang… bang…
The arms of the ten-tail regenerate and it shatters the large rocky mountain created by the Iwagakure shinobis.
"We can't hold it any longer." Sweat trickles down Onoki's head.
"Naruto, evacuate everyone from the vicinity of the Ten-tail, immediately!" Kurama warns Naruto.
"The Ten-tail is planning to do the Cataclysm!"
"Cat-a-What?! What the heck is that?"
"Naruto, stop wasting time! The land's going to be ripped apart!" Kurama warns Naruto.
"Everyone! Quick! Fall back!"
Naruto issues Kurama's warning to all shinobis present on the battlefield while listening to Kurama's words.
"Kurama, what exactly is it? What kind of technique is it?" Naruto asks warily while helping evacuate the shinobi away from the ten-tails.
Madara also glances at the Ten-tail.
"The Ten-tails can't be controlled anymore. The only method to detain the Ten-tail's power is by becoming its Jinchuriki. Though in my current state, I can't become the Jinchuriki of the Ten-tail since it requires a living host to house Ten-tail's power."
"You are quite in a desperate state, aren't you?" Obito glances at Madara.
"Unless someone uses the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu, you can't be brought back to life. However…"
"So, is this your plan? Is this how you want to get back at me, Obito?" Madara narrows his eyes.
While evacuating, the group glances at the fight between Madara and Obito.
"There is in-fighting between them. Did the berserk state of Ten-tail not a part of their plan?" The Kages wonder.
"Let's retreat for now!"
The ground trembles and several powerful winds blow in the surroundings. The water in the sea rises to create tidal waves of hundreds of meters. Lightning strikes from the sky and fireballs rain with a downpour.
"This is just the start!" Kurama speaks again.
"Cataclysm is a signature preservation technique of the Ten-tail. When the Ten-tail feels that its life is under threat, it will summon all the nature energy in its surroundings and release a powerful technique using all the Five elements. This technique is a mix of five distinct elements and is a Kekkei Mora. At full power, it's strong enough to wipe out half of the Shinobi world." Kurama shakes his head.
"Then we have to stop it! We can't allow the Ten-tail to wreak havoc and destroy the entire shinobi world." Naruto and others pause in their footsteps.
"Let me try to transport it to the Kamui dimension!" Kakashi infuses chakra in his left eye and prepares to open a massive Kamui portal to teleport to the Ten-Tail.
'This time I will make sure the Ten-tail will disappear completely."
"Kamui!"
Kakashi focuses his vision on the Ten-tail's chest.
"You were prepared, Kakashi, and so was I!"
Fwoosh…
Obito leaps out of the ground and grabs Kakashi's arms.
"Kamui!"
He also uses his Kamui and as a result, both Obito and Kakashi get pulled into the Kamui dimension.
"Kakashi-Sensei!"
Naruto yells in worry.
"Naruto, don't!" Sakumo grabs Naruto's arms and shakes his head.
"Kakashi will be fine in the other dimension. We have to rescue others from this area." Gaara and other also nods.
Tch…
Naruto clicks his tongue and helps others escape from the range of the Ten-tail.
GAAH…
Meanwhile, Ten-tail invokes the rage of nature and unleashes an apocalypse on the shinobi world. Instantly, a radius of five kilometers around the Ten tail turns into dust. A powerful mix of five elemental chakra escapes from the Ten-tail's body in a sphere and wipes out all lifeforms in its vicinity.
Several shinobis gulp their saliva and rush forward frantically in an attempt to escape from the Ten-tails.
A few figures get engulfed in the massive tidal wave of chakra and instantly get obliterated to nothingness. This makes the remaining shinobi more desperate, and they use every means to escape the same fate as their comrades.
Fwoosh…
An orange flicker flashes across the battlefield. Naruto summons thousands of his shadow clones to pull away the shinobis from danger.
The powerful spherical cataclysm blast covers a radius of five kilometers before settling down. The land, ground, sea, and sky, everything get obliterated to nothingness in that previous attack.
Gulp…
The shinobis gulp their saliva in horror. Only the distant glowing body of the Ten-tail is visible in their vision. Several wind hurricanes, water tornadoes, fire tornadoes, and countless lightning strikes cover the vicinity of the Ten-tails.
"It's almost impossible to breach through this catastrophic land and close distance with the Ten-tail." Onoki and others analyze the situation.
"How do we stop it?" All of them raise a question.
"We can't even contact the HQ after the previous attack!" The members of the communication team click their tongues.
"Kurama, do you have any idea to stop this?" Naruto desperately asks Kurama.
"I don't!" Kurama shakes his head.
"Also, everyone should evacuate even further. The second wave will arrive soon and it will cover a radius of ten kilometers." Kurama warns everyone.
"What?! Another wave?!" The rest of the shinobis are flustered by Kurama's words.
"Yes, there will be seven waves, and with each wave, the destruction range will double. The last wave of this attack will cover half of the shinobi world and wipe out everything in that area. The Ten-tail will also pay the price for such a powerful attack. It will lose its sentience and turn into a massive Shinju tree." Kurama adds.
AH…
The Five Kages and other elite shinobis gasps in surprise. They immediately order the rest of the shinobis to evacuate even further.
"Then what should we do? How can we stop it if we can't even get closer to it?" They glance at each other.
"The only method to stop the Ten-tail is by sealing it. Either in a Jinchuriki or a powerful vessel." Kurama continues.
"Back then, the Sage of Six Paths used an extremely powerful Fuinjutsu seal to extract and seal the Ten-tail's chakra within himself. Even then, the ten-tail succeeded in destroying the one-third of the world." Kurama narrates the incident from the past.
"Even the Sage of Six Path could only seal the Ten-tail after it destroyed one-third of the world. So, how could we…" The shinobis despair at such thoughts.
"Everyone, the situation is not as grim as we think it is!" Kushina's voice echoes in their mind.
"This voice… it's Kushina!"
"Mom!"
Tsunade and Naruto instantly recognize the voice.
"Everyone, there is no need to panic. We have a plan!" Shikaku's voice follows after.
"Shikaku!" The Allied Force Shinobi heaves a sigh of relief.
"We are glad, all of you are fine!" Shikamaru and Ino heaves a sigh of relief.
"Now isn't the time to talk about our well-being! We have to stop the Ten-tail before it further damages the world." Shikaku continues.
"The current Ten-tail is weaker than its original counterpart," Kushina adds.
"It's incomplete and still lacks the Eight-tails and Nine-tails, which are a major portion of its chakra to recover completely. Still, we shouldn't underestimate its power. Even in its current weakened state, the Ten-tails can harm one-third of the shinobi world with its last wave of attack." Kushina completes her analyses.
The Kages and other Kages carefully listen to her explanation.
"Then what should we do to stop it? We can't even get closer to it." Rasa voices his thoughts.
"Before the start of the war, we already anticipated such an incident. Even the resurrection of the Ten-tail was within our expectations. The only uncertainty was Kabuto and his Edo Tensei. Madara's strength and that strange black dragon weren't also part of our calculations. Though we have already dealt with both of them." Shikaku explains.
"So, you mean, you have a method to stop the ten-tails?" Onoki glances at the other Kages and shinobis.
"Not exactly!" Kushina takes over the explanation.
"We still have no clue of the exact strength of Ten-tail and its techniques. The only information we possess is from the old records of our ancestors. So, we have no certainty of the success and could only hope that the plan works." Kushina explains with uncertainty.
"It's a gamble then!" Tsunade opens her mouth.
"Pretty much! But we don't have any choice, do we?" Kushina shakes her head.
"Then what should we do? What's the plan?" Mei and others ask.
"Everyone, do you remember the tens of thousands of metal chakra rods to monitor the battlefield?" Kushina asks.
Mm…
The group glances at each other and nods.
"Those rods have a secret function!"
