Naruto: Fire-Release system

Chapter 160: Hashirama, This Time I Win!

"Continue!"

The Tailed Beast Bomb being teleported away by Minato didn't faze Uchiha Obito at all. With unwavering determination, he directed the Ten-Tails to fire again, aiming to obliterate the Allied Shinobi Forces entirely.

"Flying Thunder God: Second Step!"

Minato couldn't counter the Tailed Beast Bomb with raw strength as Hashirama could. His only option was to teleport it away using his Flying Thunder God technique to prevent it from wreaking havoc among the ninja forces.

"Kamui!"

This time, Obito was ready. As soon as Minato made his move, Obito activated Kamui, distorting space to disrupt Minato's Flying Thunder God formula.

Caught off guard, Minato's body was twisted and torn apart by the spatial distortion, rendering him unable to complete the teleportation.

Without Minato's interference, the Tailed Beast Bomb hit the Allied Forces directly.

A brilliant flash engulfed the battlefield as the bomb detonated.

The explosion unleashed an apocalyptic wave of destruction, obliterating everything in its path. The shockwave flattened the terrain, vaporizing countless shinobi in an instant.

"How did it come to this?"

"How can we fight an enemy like this?"

"It's over… The ninja world is finished!"

The survivors, overwhelmed by despair, cried out in anguish. Some knelt in defeat, others wept over fallen comrades, their morale utterly crushed.

Hashirama's absence was felt acutely. Without him, the battlefield had become a slaughterhouse.

On a distant hilltop, Uchiha Yi watched the carnage unfold, seated on his flaming throne.

"The absence of Naruto really shifts the balance," Yi mused.

He chuckled darkly. "An immature boy with no control over the Nine-Tails couldn't possibly have turned the tide in this scenario."

---

The Ten-Tails roared, its body beginning to transform. Entering its Second Form, it shed its quadrupedal shape for a lean, humanoid frame. Its skeletal body, sharp claws, and single glowing eye exuded an even greater sense of menace.

In this form, the Ten-Tails unleashed an enhanced arsenal of attacks, including targeted Tailed Beast Bombs capable of precise destruction.

The transformation also triggered a terrifying environmental effect.

Dark clouds gathered overhead as a massive storm erupted, unleashing torrential rain, deafening thunder, and powerful hurricanes. The entire battlefield was swallowed by chaos.

"Such power…"

Even the Kage—normally symbols of strength and resolve—were shaken to their cores.

---

"This is hopeless. How can we defeat something like this?"

Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, clenched his fists, frustration and despair mingling on his face. His mastery over gold dust seemed insignificant against the Ten-Tails' apocalyptic might.

Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, was no better. Her heart sank as she surveyed the decimated ranks of the Allied Forces.

"Even with Hashirama-sama… even he couldn't stop this…"

She bit her lip, tears brimming in her eyes. Her village, already fragile, would be lost forever if the war ended in failure.

---

"Do your best, everyone!"

Ōnoki, the stubborn and battle-worn Tsuchikage, refused to surrender. Despite the overwhelming odds, he clenched his fists and shouted encouragement to his comrades.

"If we let Obito succeed, we'll all die anyway. At least let's go down fighting!"

Inspired by his resolve, Tsunade also rallied herself.

"Trust in my grandfather and my granduncle! This battle isn't over yet!"

Her determination reignited a flicker of hope among the remaining forces.

---

But even as the Kage tried to keep morale alive, the Ten-Tails reached Third Form.

Its body grew larger and more muscular, and its tails became jagged claws. The single eye on its head glowed ominously as it charged a massive Super Tailed Beast Bomb in its maw.

Its target was clear: the remaining Allied Forces.

"Damn it!"

Minato, struggling to keep up with the relentless pace of the battle, clenched his fists in frustration. His ability to intervene had been crippled by Obito's Kamui, and he felt powerless to protect the people behind him.

"Not on my watch!"

Tobirama, ever the strategist, stepped forward.

"Minato, leave the Tailed Beast Bomb to me. You focus on the Ten-Tails itself!"

He immediately teleported to Obito, striking with his Flying Thunder God Slash.

As expected, the attack phased through Obito, who had already activated his intangibility.

"Desperate, are we?" Obito sneered, toying with Tobirama.

He had no intention of letting the Second Hokage interrupt his plans.

Meanwhile, on another part of the battlefield, Hashirama and Madara continued their duel.

"Madara! This needs to stop!"

Hashirama's voice was resolute, but his heart ached. Despite their bitter rivalry, he still saw Madara as a dear friend.

"Hashirama! You've always been so naive!"

Madara, perched atop his massive Perfect Susano'o, laughed maniacally.

"This time, Hashirama, I will win!"

Madara's Susano'o clashed violently with Hashirama's wooden golem. Each strike shook the battlefield, sending shockwaves that obliterated anything in their vicinity.

The two titans were so evenly matched that neither could gain the upper hand.

---

From his vantage point, Uchiha Yi observed the battle between Madara and Hashirama with growing amusement.

"Madara certainly knows how to put on a show," Yi mused. "But let's see how far they'll go before they burn themselves out."

Yi's attention shifted to the Ten-Tails, now nearing full maturity.

"The Ten-Tails… nearly complete. Once it evolves further, even these legends will be powerless against it."

Leaning back on his throne, Yi allowed himself a faint smile.

"Let the chaos continue."
