Chapter 567: Breaking Point

 Naruto 567 PREDICTIONS

Chapter 567: Breaking Point

Kakashi and Gai stand in front of Naruto, indefatigable. Their eyes are narrowed and they focus on every single movement of Tobi.

He proceeds to jump off the Eight-Tails, and lands behind Naruto and his two superiors.

As neither makes a movement, a shadow clone of Kakashi's appears directly behind Tobi...it does not attack, however, lest it lose its position.

Tobi: What a waste of my time...do you two really think you can do anything? It doesn't matter if the entire army is here to support you. None of you are strong enough to fight me. Let me make one thing perfectly clear, though: you interfere, and you die.

Naruto: Kakashi-sensei, he isn't lying! He has a Rinnegan now!

Gai: Rinnegan...?

Kakashi: I didn't expect this...challenging Madara is going to be much more difficult now...

Kakashi: Gai, be extra careful. The Sharingan isn't the only doujutsu he wields...on top of that, he's got an even more powerful kekkei genkai called the Rinnegan. Its powers are unbelievably dangerous...he gets you with any of its jutsu just once, and it's all over.

Gai: Good to know...looks like I'll be able to unveil the full power of my youth in this fight, and against a worthy opponent, no less!

Naruto: Kakashi-sensei, eyebrows-sensei, that's not all! The real Madara has been summoned with that Edowhatever jutsu, and he's fighting the Five Kage right now!

Kakashi: Real Madara? So you really aren't who you claim to be...

With his right hand, Tobi draws his War Fan to his side.

Tobi: Let me tell you something about this fan, Hatake Kakashi. It's the weapon I used to found the very village you and your rabble live in, and it's the very thing I fought Senju Hashirama with at the Valley of the End.

Naruto: !!

Naruto: You asshole, stop the lies! You just said you were 'no one!'

Tobi: And no one I am. Tell me...what records do you have of Uchiha Madara? How do you know that person fighting the disgrace to the Kage name is the actual Madara you seek?

Gai: What...in the world is he trying to say?

Naruto: The old man Tsuchikage...he recognized him as Madara!

Tobi (chuckling): I suggest you forget about that worthless old man. He is lost to you. He's nothing more than a long-standing puppet of mine...I placed a genjutsu on him nearly 70 years ago using Uchiha Madara's doryoku, and the piece of trash still hasn't noticed it, to this day.

Tobi: All his life, he's been living in an illusion. Though...I do get to choose the moments where he receives temporary freedom...almost making it seem like he's on your side.

Naruto: You...you evil bastard!

Bee: Muthafuckaz, I ain't got a clue! Madara this and Madara that...we got to defeat the jinchuuriki, that's their due!

Kakashi: The continuous references to Madara in the third person...then a sudden assertion in the first person, claims to the accomplishments in his life...I'm starting to get the feeling that-

Kakashi: Your secret doesn't lie beneath your mask, does it? It's something completely different, isn't it? All this time, you've been wearing that mask as a diversion, I gather.

Tobi: Hatake Kakashi, that Sharingan belonged to a friend of yours, didn't it? Well...I'd like it back.

Kakashi: !!

Kakashi: What the hell do you mean?!...you can't be serious...Ob-

Tobi: No. Not him. Uchiha Madara goes after the very best, not some low level scum.

Tobi beckons his Six Paths of Pain back to his person, and they stand eagerly on all fours, waiting to fight.

Tobi: Go. Do spare the hosts, however.

Gai/Kakashi: Naruto, Bee!

Naruto/Bee: On it!

The six jinchuuriki attack, and the four allies assume defensive positions.

Fuu attacks first.

Fuu: Metastatic Infection!

Fuu leaps at the Eight-Tails, intending to slam herself on the Eight-Tails' body, and release a powerful poison that kills the opponent within seconds.

The Eight-Tails, however, counters by stomping the ground, creating fissures.

Kakashi: Naruto, Gai and I will take care of Madara! Handle the jinchuuriki!

Naruto: Got it...but let me help you out before you go!

Naruto creates twelve shadow clones...six designed to combat the Pain Rikudou, and six to assist Kakashi and Gai against Tobi.

Tobi: The time has come to use this, I see...first...

Tobi turns around and quickly destroys Kakashi's shadow clone. As he does this, however, Gai crosses the distance between them, and prepares to decapitate Tobi with a kick.

Tobi: Not fast enough...Shinra Tensei!

Gai is sent flying, but in that moment Naruto's clones throw six Futon: Rasenshuriken, neatly side by side.

Tobi: How stupid can the Nine-Tails get...I'll absorb this in a heartbeat.

Tobi nullifies the attack with Hungry Ghost Realm's absorption ability, but for a brief amount of time that defensive measure leaves him vulnerable.

Kakashi: Now!!

Kakashi attacks with his most powerful Chidori yet, and it is about to connect until...

...Tobi places the War Fan between him and the attack.

Tobi: Clever strategy...you intended to gauge the activation time of my intangibility, so you could use that against me later. And while I would be incorporeal, the clones would go help the jinchuuriki.

Tobi: But do you really think I'd give a secret like that away?

While this conversation is taking place, Tobi's War Fan becomes charged with electricity.

Tobi: This weapon of mine neutralizes all elemental attacks...then makes them part of itself, becoming stronger and stronger until the other side dies. And now you're quite paralyzed, I see...

Tobi leaves Kakashi holding his fan in his disabled hand, and places his right hand over Kakashi's hand.

Tobi: I'll be taking that Sharingan of yours once I feed your soul to the King of Hell.

Gai has been left wounded by the potent Shinra Tensei, and looks on meters away.

Gai: Kakashi! Move, damn it!

As Kakashi's soul is about to leave his body, an unknown figure attacks Tobi from behind, who manages to sidestep enough to prevent his head from being chopped in two, but not enough to completely evade the attack. A sword is stuck in his shoulder.

Tobi: They just keep coming...vermin after vermin.

Unidentified: This guy's durability...it's off the charts!

Tobi hastily removes the sword from his penetrated shoulder, and retreats safely from the people surrounding him.

Tobi: Hiding in the trees, I see. How characteristic of cowards.

The person who attacked Tobi is Darui, and in the trees are his remaining soldiers. They stand behind Darui, and slowly more and more people add to the crowd. Among them are:

Kitsuchi, and the remainder of his Second Division.

Mifune, and the remainder of his Fifth Division.

Naruto: Finally...backup! Bee, we can win this!

Bee: Muthafucka, we need all the backup in the world at this rate! I can't keep going in this state!

Tobi recalls his paths, and they stand before him again.

Kakashi: Madara, you told me that the entire army being here wouldn't make a difference...are you sure about that?

Tobi: Confident, aren't you? Let's see if we can do something about that. I suppose now that we've got a fair crowd, it's time to take things to the next level.

Tobi: It's seven against 30,000 of you...but no matter.

Tobi widens his eyes, indicating an increase in the amount of chakra used for control, and suddenly the partially transformed jinchuuriki morph into their full bijuu. The rest of the Alliance stares in shock.

Tobi: Let's begin, then.

The tailed beasts initiate a massive, brutal rampage.

Miles away, however, the Five Kage are fighting Madara. He defends against all of their attacks, but hasn't made any offensive advances himself.

Madara: I'm growing tired of this technique...it's time to break it.

Onoki: What...is that technique? I don't understand the hand seals he's making!

Madara: Gedo: Rinne Tensei!
