On the coastal battlefield,
Swish… swish…
Obito makes a series of quick hand signs.
"Summoning Jutsu: Six Paths,"
Poof… poof… poof…
With a puff of white smoke, Obito's six paths appear on the battlefield.
"Just as I expected, they aren't affected by the release of Edo Tensei."
There is a white glow around the six jinchurukis body. However, the black receiver inside their body prevents their soul from escaping to the Pure land.
"Why there are still here?"
Mei's expression turns ugly after noticing the glow around the six jinchurukis.
Swish… swish…
The six-path Jinchuriki makes a series of hand signs.
"Inferno Release: Extreme Killing Vanishing Fireball,"
Yugito Nii makes a series of hand signs and takes a deep breath.
Pew…
She expels a blue fireball from her mouth. The blue fireball releases a whistling sound and vanishes.
"Damn it!" Mei's expression turns ugly.
Shoom…
Suddenly, an orange figure flicker in front of her and kicks the air.
Bang…
A blue fireball flies towards a nearby boulder and explodes, covering the entire boulder in blue flames.
"Naruto!" Mei recognizes the newcomer.
"Mei Nee-san, are you alright?" Naruto turns towards her.
"I am fine. Just a bit low on chakra!" Mei nods at him.
Whoosh…
Another figure with long white hair flickers beside them.
Hehe…
"Fear not, everyone! For Jiraiya-sama, the Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku is here!"
Jiraiya makes his dramatic entry with his signature T-pose.
"Jiraiya-sama!" Mei's expression turns ugly.
"If you are here, then the Daimyos… they…"
"They are fine!" Jiraiya shrugs his shoulder.
"Besides, it wasn't my intention to appear here. Someone kidnapped me to the battlefield." Jiraiya helplessly shakes his head.
"But who could kidnap a Sannin like you?" Confusion appears on Mei's face.
"Hehe… who else other than that pesky brat who vanished for a few years and now refuses to show his face? If he dares to appear in front of me, then I will punch his face until it looks like Tonton's ass." Jiraiya clenches his fist.
"You mean…" Mei ignores the latter half of Jiraiya's words as only one thought occupies her mind.
A drop of tear fell from her eyes.
"He is here!" She clenches her fists.
"Yes, Izuna nii-san is back!" Naruto nods in confirmation.
"M-Mei!" Izuna's voice echoes in Mei's mind.
"I-Izuna! Is that you?" Mei's lips tremble.
"Yes, it's me."
"I am not dreaming, am I?"
"You are not! I am back." Izuna replies in a hoarse voice.
"Izuna, then your body… Is it?"
"Don't worry. I am back to normal. No, I am far better than normal."
"It's good to hear. It really is…" Mei wipes her tears and nods.
Naruto also removes his hand from Mei's shoulder.
"This is…" Mei glances at a golden-orange chakra cloak around her body.
"Hehe… it's my new power." Naruto scratches his forehead and grins.
"I can not only transfer my chakra but also give a weaker version of my chakra cloak to someone."
"Yoshaaa!"
He claps his hand and turns towards the six Jinchuriki and Obito in front of him.
Obito glances at Naruto's new form in surprise.
"So, this is Nine-tails power when in full control." He clicks his tongue.
"But there is only one of you and I have six tailed beasts under my control."
Obito makes a hand sign and the six jinchurukis stand in front of him.
The white glow around their body fades and the jinchurukis regains their suppressed personality.
"Huh! Where am I?" They look around in confusion.
"I remember now. Someone brought us back by using 'Edo Tensei' and then someone else took control of our body."
Yugito, Han, Rōshi, Utakata, and Oogura turn towards Obito with hatred.
"You bastard! How dare you control us?" They attack him at the same time.
Shiing…
Obito makes a hand seal and a gleam flickers across his Rinnegan.
GAH…
The bodies of the six-Jinchuriki stop in mid-air. A pulse of invisible chakra spreads across their body through the black receiver rods in their body.
"I-I… I can't control my body." Yugito, who is the closest to Obito, slowly turns around.
The same happens with the rest of the jinchurukis.
"It's not for you to decide what you want to do, but me?" Obito makes another hand seal.
All the Jinchurikis, except for Fu, are restricted in place.
Fu also opens her eyes in confusion and glances at her surroundings.
Soon, she notices a bright golden-orange figure in her vision.
"This chakra! N-Naruto, I-is that you?" Fu opens her mouth.
"Yes, it's me!" Naruto nods with a melancholic expression.
"N-naruto… Fu is sorry. Fu wasn't able to fulfill her promise." Tears overflow from Fu's eyes.
"Fu promised to tour Naruto around Fu's village. But Fu… Fu… couldn't fulfill her promise."
"No, it's not Fu's fault." Naruto shakes his head. A teardrop leaks from the corner of his eyes.
"Hehe… Fu's happy to meet Naruto again. Fu didn't have many friends. But at least Fu was able to make a friend like Naruto." Fu smiles at him.
"Don't worry Fu. I will free you from this suffering." Naruto clenches his fist.
Jiraiya, Mei, and Naruto confront Obito and the six jinchurukis in front of them.
'Honey, I will talk to you later. There are still a lot of things we need to discuss. But before that…" Mei stands up and crushes a stone under her foot.
Izuna flinches at the sight.
"I need to break a few bones." Mei glances at Obito with hatred.
"Hehe… this great me. The legendary Toad Sannin will finally get a chance to shine on the battlefield." Jiraiya smugly rubs his imaginary beard.
He glances at Han and Rōshi.
"I will finally redeem myself from the humiliation I suffered back during the Third Shinobi War."
Jiraiya confronts the two jinchurukis from the Iwagakure.
"Naruto, leave these two to me!" He adds.
"No problem! They are all yours, pervy-sage!"
Naruto turns his attention to the Obito and the remaining four jinchurukis.
"Naruto, leave Utakata and Oogura to me. As the leader of Kirigakure, it's my responsibility."
Mei glances at Utakata and Oogura.
"Mizukage, I apologize for leaving the village." Utakata apologizes to Mei.
"Back then, after Sensei's death, I lost the purpose in my life and, in the end, when I finally found it. Alas, it was too late." He sighs and shakes his head.
Sigh…
Oogura sighs and shakes his head.
"I didn't expect the little girl I trained back then to turn into such a fine shinobi and even succeed me as the Fifth Mizukage. Then for those old-time sakes, let's fight. I also want to see how much progress you have made in all these years."
Oogura enters into a battle stance.
Naruto confronts Yugito, Fu, and Obito on his own. Naruto turns to Yugito and exclaims.
"Octo-pops told me about you. He said, you also trained on the Genbu island and even passed the enlightenment test under the Waterfall of Truth."
"Hmm… Octo-pops, by that do you mean, that fool Bee?" Yugito asks him curiously.
"Yes, Octo-pops trained me on the Genbu island and I also passed the 'Waterfall of Truth' test. It's all thanks to his training that I could achieve this new form of mine." Naruto nods.
"I… I see!" Yugito nods and sighs in relief.
"It's good that, unlike me, that fool didn't get in trouble. Also, I am not as good as he makes me out to be. Despite everything, I was unable to overcome the darkness in my heart and thus never made peace with my partner. It was only in the last moments of my life that I finally got rid of all that hatred and darkness and made peace. But by then, it was too late." Yugito clenches her fists and closes her eyes.
She opens her eyes and glances at Naruto with a sharp gaze.
"Since I have no control over my body, I will fight against you with my all. You are also a disciple of the Genbu island and as your senior, I will put your abilities to the test." Yugito clenches her fists.
Blue flames engulf them.
'Naruto, she is serious!' Kurama's voice echoes in Naruto's mind.
'Beware of those blue flames. They aren't normal flames but a Kekkei Genkai of my second sister, Matatabi. Matatabi is a 'Bakeneko' and these blue flames of her are capable of burning one's spirit. So, avoid contact with them at all costs.' Kurama issues Naruto a warning.
"I will keep that in mind, partner!" Naruto fists bump with Kurama and grin.
"Enough chitter-chatter, since you are here of your own volition; it saves me the effort to hunt you down. I will capture you now and complete the summoning."
Obito makes a hand seal and directs the six paths Jinchurikis to battle.
