One Piece x Naruto: The Uchiha Pirate King

"Roar!"

As Uchiha Obito's sealing technique took effect, the Ten-Tails—which had seemed overwhelmingly ferocious to the Allied Shinobi Forces—let out a deafening roar before its body rapidly shrank!

Black Zetsu, seeing Obito about to seal the Ten-Tails within himself, couldn't help but ask Madara, "Lord Madara, why are you—?"

Madara glanced at him.

Of course, he couldn't outright say that he had already discovered the Infinite Tsukuyomi was a trap and was now handing the opportunity over to Obito. Instead, he calmly replied, "Relax. Everything is under control."

Black Zetsu was momentarily stunned. Does Madara have some hidden trump card I don't know about?

With that thought, he fell silent, deciding to observe for now.

Seeing his reaction, Madara inwardly sneered. He had always despised schemers who operated from the shadows—this was exactly the kind of person he looked down on the most.

Black Zetsu didn't notice Madara's disdain, but Lin Xuan and the others did.

Lin Xuan muttered under his breath, "I wonder who it was that thought they had outsmarted everyone, only to end up being played like a fool?"

Madara's expression stiffened, but he chose to ignore the comment.

Indeed, he had found the perfect way to deal with Lin Xuan's taunts—simply pretend not to hear them. He figured that if he didn't react, Lin Xuan would eventually get bored and stop provoking him.

Hmph, not bad for Uchiha Madara. His countermeasure is quite effective.

At the very least, seeing that his words hadn't provoked the expected reaction, Lin Xuan lost interest in further teasing.

Meanwhile, the Allied Shinobi Forces also noticed something unusual about the Ten-Tails.

Namikaze Minato tensely turned to Hashirama. "First Hokage, should we act now?"

The others also looked at Hashirama, awaiting orders.

Based on their experience, this was the perfect moment to strike.

But Hashirama merely waved his hand. "No. Wait."

Confused but trusting his judgment, the shinobi held their positions and continued observing.

Black Zetsu, seeing the Allied Shinobi Forces remain passive, grew increasingly uneasy. Something feels off…

But it was too late to stop now.

After all, reviving the Ten-Tails had been no easy feat. If he missed this chance, who knew how long he'd have to wait to resurrect his mother?

Besides, even if he wanted to halt the plan now, neither Obito nor Madara would let him.

Finally, under Obito's control, the Ten-Tails rapidly compressed into a massive white sphere, completely enveloping him.

The battlefield fell into an eerie silence as everyone held their breath, watching the mysterious orb.

Then—crack!

A fissure split the surface of the sphere.

Like a chick breaking free from its shell, the cracks multiplied until the entire structure shattered, scattering fragments in all directions.

Obito's transformed figure emerged.

His appearance had drastically changed—he was almost unrecognizable.

His skin had turned an eerie grayish-white, and two horns—one tall, one short—protruded from his forehead. His upper body was bare, save for a strange cloak draped over his shoulders.

The right half of his body and face were covered in bark-like wrinkles. Below his neck, six sharp protrusions extended like the petals of a blooming flower, their tips flickering with mysterious flames.

On his back, intricate patterns and nine tomoe symbols swirled, exuding an otherworldly aura.

"So, he's finally appeared."

Madara's gaze locked onto Obito, scrutinizing every detail of his new form.

In truth, everyone on the battlefield was staring at Obito.

Sensing their stares, Obito seemed displeased. Suddenly, an overwhelming pressure erupted from his body, sweeping across the battlefield like a storm!

"BOOM!"

Even the distant shinobi forces felt suffocated under the sheer weight of his presence.

Hashirama's expression darkened. So this… is the power of a Six Paths-level being?

He could tell that Obito in this state was even stronger than Madara at his peak with the Rinnegan.

However, because Obito's Ten-Tails revival hadn't absorbed all the chakra from the nine tailed beasts, Hashirama sensed that this Six Paths Obito wasn't completely invincible.

This was actually part of his and Madara's plan.

If Obito's Ten-Tails Jinchūriki form wasn't at full power, then the resurrected Kaguya Ōtsutsuki wouldn't be at her strongest either—making it easier to seal or defeat her.

Obito, oblivious to all this, reveled in his newfound strength, even casting a challenging glare at Madara.

Madara's eye twitched in irritation.

But before he could react, Obito suddenly let out a pained groan. His body twisted violently, and agonized screams tore from his throat.

Within seconds, his form began to swell grotesquely, as if he were about to explode!

The sudden turn of events left the Allied Shinobi Forces stunned.

"What's happening?!"

"Is the Ten-Tails' chakra too much for him to handle?!"

"Should we retreat? What if he explodes?!"

Panicked murmurs spread through the ranks.

Even Madara and Hashirama exchanged uneasy glances.

If Obito can't withstand the Ten-Tails and loses control… will our plan fail?
