------------------------

BOOM…

A gigantic explosion occurs at the point of impact. Horizontal shockwaves travel through the sky, clearing the clouds on the horizon.

The drill-like chakra lance slowly penetrates through the energy barrier.

Crack… crack…

Multiple cracks appear in the layered barrier as Shisui infuses more chakra into the jutsu.

Snap… snap…

One by one, the stacked layers of the elemental barrier crack and crumble apart. The size of the lance also reduces in size. Its current size is no bigger than a human-sized polearm.

HAAAH…

Shisui infuses his remaining chakra in the lance. With a final burst, the lance pierces through the last layer of the barrier and dissipates.

"Kakashi senpai, now!"

"I am on it!"

Kakashi, who has been infusing a large amount of chakra into his Mangekyo Sharingan, opens it.

"KAMUI!!"

He targets the Kamui at the chest of the puppet.

Shoom…

A giant black hole opens in the chest of the Shōmetsu puppet. The black hole pulls the protective armor of the puppet, exposing Sasori's puppet body within it.

Shisui's Susanoo dissipates due to his low chakra reserve. The trio freely falls to the ground.

"Guy! It's also up to you."

An exhausted Kakashi turns to Guy.

"I have rested enough!"

Guy crosses his arms in front of his chest.

"Eight Inner Gates: Seventh Gate: Gate of Wonder: Open,"

He directly opens the seventh gate while in mid-air. Guy kicks the air and rapidly air-dashes towards the giant hole in the center of the puppet.

He swiftly arrives in front of the puppet and clenches his palm and fist.

"Hirudora!"

Guy infuses his aura into the Hirudora and punches forward. He concentrates the power of Hirudora at a point and lands the punch on Sasori's puppet body.

BOOM…

A gigantic cone of pressurized air explodes from the back of the Shōmetsu puppet.

Crack… crack…

Multiple cracks appear in the cores of the marionette puppets.

"I… I… I was so close!"

Sasori slowly stretches his palm. The light in his eyes dims down. His puppet body crumbles into dust and gets blown away by the wind.

Rumble… Rumble…

The broken components of the puppets rain down on the ground. Guy also runs out of energy and free-falls to the ground.

A gigantic orange chakra arm appears beneath him and prevents the free fall.

"Kakashi Sensei, Guy Sensei, Shisui Nii-san, are you guys alright?"

Naruto appears beside them as he watches the fragments of the Shōmetsu puppet fall on the ground.

"It was a tough opponent, but we somehow managed to pull it through." Kakashi heaves a sigh of relief and relaxes against the remains of a boulder.

"Kkakashi…"

Guy extends his palm towards Kakashi and limply falls on the ground.

"GUY!"

Kakashi hurriedly catches Guy's hand.

Zzzz…

Soon, snoring sounds ring in the group's ears as drool leaks from Guy's face.

"He is just exhausted and here I thought!"

Kakashi drops Guy on the ground.

"We… we just ran out of chakra. A little bit of rest and we will be back in good shape." Shisui gasps for some fresh air.

"I will heal you all right now!" Naruto uses the Mystic Palm technique to heal their wounds.

"Naruto, you know the mystic palm technique?" Kakashi is slightly surprised to see Naruto use the prized techniques of medic nins.

'With this technique, he can be counted as a full-fledged medic.'

"Hehe… Well, Tsunade baa-san pestered me non-stop to learn this technique when I was in her care. So, after practicing it for a while, I got the hang of it." Naruto scratches his head.

"Alright! Recover your chakra. Soon, we will deal with that." Kakashi raises his head and stares at the giant planetary sphere levitating in the air.

A few hundred meters from above,

Swoosh…

Zetsu pops out of the ground. He stares at the remains of the Shōmetsu puppet.

'I thought this trump card might buy us more time to infiltrate Konoha, but who would have expected a perfect Susanoo to intercept it?'

Zetsu glances in Shisui's direction.

"Looks like it's time to put plan Zero to use. We have no chakra of the eight-tails and only a trace amount of Nine-tails chakra."

Zetsu enters the ground and disappears from his place.

A few seconds later,

Swoosh…

Naruto appears at the location. He looks around to search for a trace of the enemy.

'Strange! I thought I sensed someone here.'

-----------------------

A few minutes before the Chibaku Tensei,

Bang…

Tobi is sent flying by Minato's kick.

"Obito! It has been a while."

"How?!" Obito's eyes narrow underneath the mask.

"You can't fool me. I know it's you."

Swoosh…

Minato appears behind Obito's back and attempts to punch him.

Shoom…

Obito uses his Kamui to phase out Minato's attack.

Swish…

A spatial seal appears on Minato's wrist.

BANG…

Minato's punch lands on Obito's back, sending him flying.

Keough…

Obito spits out a mouthful of blood.

Crack… crack…

Cracks appear on his orange mask. The mask shatters into multiple fragments to reveal Obito's face. A trail of blood fall from his forehead.

"It really is you… Obito!"

Minato sighs in remorse.

"You can call me by that name if that's what you want, but it means nothing to me now."

Obito wipes the blood from his forehead. He opens a small Kamui portal and inserts his left hand in it.

"Obito… you survived! Then… why… why didn't you come to us? Kushina… she… she was so heartbroken by your death. We… we all were…"

"Because it's irrelevant whether I had survived or not… although, I suppose, if you really want an answer… then the reason is because you let Rin die." Obito gazes into Minato's eyes with extreme coldness. He pulls out the Uchiha Gunbai from the Kamui dimension.

"Sigh… I was a failure of a hokage. I couldn't even protect the people; I was supposed to protect. I was a failure of a father; I couldn't even give my son the childhood he deserved and I… I was a failure of a teacher, I… I couldn't be present for them when they needed me the most. Obito, you can condemn me however you want, but I can't let you hurt the innocent villagers. At least, not on my watch."

"Pfft… Haha… condemn you! What would I gain from criticizing this absurd reality?" Obito's expression turns dark.

"Now, I longer have any interest in the affairs of the world that is soon to end! You should have stayed dead, but I will correct my previous mistake this time."

Obito claps his hands.

"Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance,"

Obito infuses a large amount of chakra and spits it out into a massive spiral of flames.

BOOM…

The flames engulf Minato.

Swoosh…

Minato waves his hand and disperses the fire-style jutsu.

"If a student walks on a wrong path, then it's a teacher's job to set it right. For the sake of Konoha and its people, I can't allow you to cause more destruction."

Swoosh…

Minato disappears and reappears in front of Obito.

"Wind Release: Rasengan,"

He forms a Rasengan in his hand and slams it toward Obito.

"Uchiha Gunbai,"

Obito blocks the Rasengan with the Gunbai.

"Release,"

BOOM…

The Gunbai reflects the chakra back in Minato's direction.

"Burst,"

Minato crosses his arms and detonates the Rasengan.

BANG…

A massive vortex of wind engulfs Obito and Minato.

Bang…

Both of them are sent flying out of the vortex. Obito smashes into a boulder.

Swoosh…

Minato teleports away safely and reappears at one of his kunai.

Huff… Huff…

He pants slightly.

Bleurgh…

Obito spits out some saliva and slowly stands up.

"Sensei, all these years; your skill has improved even further. But I am also not the same person; you fought fifteen years ago."

Shiing…

Obito opens his left eye to reveal another Mangekyo Sharingan.

Stab…

One of Minato's kunai pierces through his body.

Bleurgh…

Minato spits out a mouthful of blood and pulls out the kunai stabbed in his back.

'When did he!'

Minato observes Obito's movements.

'Don't tell me; it's the ability of his left eye.'

Swoosh…

Obito closes his distance from Minato and engages in close combat.

Clang… clang…

A series of metal clashing noises and sparks fly out from each encounter between Minato and Obito.
