Chapter 196: This Is No Simple Task
The Tailed Beast Chakra was being extracted bit by bit, and the battle was reaching its climax.
With a loud boom, all the Tailed Beasts were finally pulled out of Obito's body!
Obito's power instantly plummeted, and his body lost its support, collapsing weakly to the ground.
"Obito..." Byakuya looked at his former friend, his heart filled with emotion. "Why did you turn out like this?"
Obito looked up, meeting Byakuya's eyes.
Their gazes met in the air, as if returning to the past, back to that era of dreams and hope.
Yet now, they had become enemies.
"Byakuya..." Obito's voice was low and raspy. "The answer I found was that only by ending this world can everyone truly be saved."
"You're wrong." Byakuya shook his head. "Though this world is full of pain and despair, it also has hope and dreams. We cannot choose to flee or abandon it because of temporary suffering. We must face it bravely and change it."
Obito fell silent.
He knew he had lost and could no longer change anything.
But his heart was still filled with confusion and doubt.
On the other side, with the Tailed Beasts restored, the Shinobi Allied Forces began to take action.
They had only one goal: to stop Uchiha Madara's plan and save the world.
"Shukaku, long time no see." Gaara said calmly, looking at Shukaku who had been extracted from his body.
"Hmph, Gaara, what do you want with me?" Shukaku's tone remained tsundere.
"I need your power." Gaara's expression was grave. "Only with your help can we seal Uchiha Madara."
"Seal Uchiha Madara?" Shukaku scoffed. "That's no simple task. Besides, why should I help you?"
Gaara frowned slightly.
He knew Shukaku had always been an unpredictable fellow, and convincing him wouldn't be easy.
But for the sake of the world and everyone, he couldn't give up.
"Shukaku, we are partners." Gaara looked into Shukaku's eyes. "Only by standing united can we defeat the enemy and protect this world."
"Fine." Shukaku pondered for a moment before finally nodding. "Since you put it that way, I'll give you a hand."
With Shukaku joining in, the strength of the Shinobi Allied Forces increased once more.
Their goal was singular: stop Uchiha Madara and save the world!
Elsewhere, Naruto looked at the fallen Obito, feeling a wave of emotion.
He knew Obito was once a Ninja full of dreams and hope, but he had taken the wrong path due to a moment of pain and despair.
"Don't worry, Obito." Naruto murmured to himself. "I'll help you find your former self and make this world full of hope and dreams again."
Led by Naruto, the Shinobi Allied Forces began their final charge against Uchiha Madara.
Their power converged, forming a mighty force that swept toward Madara.
Madara also felt this power, and a look of gravity appeared on his face.
He knew the battle had reached its most critical moment.
"Naruto, you've finally come." Madara said coldly, watching the approaching Naruto. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Madara, it's time we settled our score!" Naruto roared, charging at Madara.
Watching Naruto's figure as he fought Madara, Obito felt his heart waver.
He saw Naruto's determination and courage, his dreams and his hope.
"Could I... really have been wrong?" Obito murmured. "Is there still hope for this world?"
In that moment, Obito seemed to see a glimmer of hope, the hope brought by Naruto and the Shinobi Allied Forces.
Perhaps there really was hope for this world, and it could truly be filled with dreams again.
Obito's heart was full of emotion and expectation. He didn't know what the future held, but he was willing to believe in Naruto and this world.
"Naruto..."
Obito's voice was weak, but Naruto heard it.
He turned his head to look at Obito, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Obito, you..."
"I was wrong." Obito said with difficulty. "This world still has hope. I am willing to admit the sins I have committed until now. To atone, I will use the last of my strength."
Having spoken, Obito desperately squeezed power from his immobile body and formed a hand seal for a certain technique.
However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred!
A black shadow suddenly surged out from within Obito, quickly seizing control of his body!
"Black Zetsu?!" Naruto looked on in shock. "Why are you here?!"
"Heh heh, Naruto, you didn't expect this, did you?" Black Zetsu let out a dark laugh. "I've been lurking inside Obito's body all along, waiting for my chance."
"Chance? What chance?" A sense of foreboding rose in Naruto's heart.
