As Jiraiya was brought back, Tsunade's mood instantly brightened. Without hesitation, she pounced on him.
"Are you okay?"
Jiraiya, flustered yet smug, wrapped an arm around her and said with a sly grin, "What are you doing? There are kids here."
Tsunade snorted, crossing her arms. "Oh? You're shy now? Just the other night, you weren't acting so modest—stripping off everything, touching me here and there, kissing me... even there—"
Jiraiya coughed violently, face turning red as he quickly covered her mouth.
This woman… she turned into an absolute wildling after we got together. Now, she's as clingy as a lovestruck teen.
Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi exchanged glances before awkwardly averting their eyes. Pretending they hadn't heard anything was the best course of action.
After all, everyone knew about the relationship between Jiraiya and the Hokage. They supported it wholeheartedly. Tsunade had been alone for years, and having Jiraiya by her side wasn't just perfect on a personal level—it also meant Konoha had two Sannin-level shinobi residing in the village at the same time. That was a strategic advantage they couldn't ignore.
Meanwhile, Naruto stared at Obito, his expression unreadable. "Are you done yet? If you've got any more threats, use them all now."
Obito gritted his teeth, his Sharingan swirling in frustration. "I'll admit, I was careless. But Naruto… even if I can't take what I want, I can still destroy what you care about."
Jiraiya, shaking off Tsunade's hold, cracked his knuckles. "You underestimate me too much, kid. You really think Naruto had to rescue me? To tell you the truth, I could've reversed the summoning jutsu and left on my own."
His gaze sharpened. "Also, you talk big about killing me—but do you even have the power to do it?"
Jiraiya was now convinced: this masked man wasn't Uchiha Madara. Since Naruto had deduced he was a shinobi from Konoha, the answer was obvious.
At that moment, Konoha's elite ANBU forces arrived, taking formation around Tsunade. Their leader stepped in front of her, tense and alert.
They had been busy clearing enemies outside when they heard what was happening here. The ANBU captain hadn't hesitated—protecting the Hokage came before anything else.
With a blur of silver, Hatake Kakashi landed beside them.
"Hokage-sama, Jiraiya-sama—are you alright?"
Tsunade nodded. "We're fine."
Obito's single eye flickered in surprise at Kakashi's sudden arrival. His gaze then shifted to Naruto, who smirked knowingly.
Kakashi, oblivious to the meaning behind Naruto's smile, frowned. "Naruto, your clone summoned me here. What exactly are you planning?"
Naruto chuckled. "I thought you might like to see an old friend."
Kakashi's frown deepened. "What do you mean?"
Jiraiya, too, narrowed his eyes. Was the masked man someone Kakashi knew?
Shikaku, analyzing Naruto's words, pieced it together. If this masked man was someone Kakashi knew and also possessed the Sharingan…
A name surfaced in his mind. But that couldn't be possible. That person was dead.
Naruto turned his gaze back to Obito. "Kakashi-sensei, you should thank this man. He's the reason you became the 'Copy Ninja.' If he hadn't given you his eye during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, you wouldn't be the legend you are today."
Kakashi stiffened. His eye widened in shock as he looked at the masked figure. "Naruto… what are you saying?"
Naruto's smirk remained. "I know it's hard to believe, but don't worry—I'll help you verify it."
Without another word, Naruto lifted his hand.
"Banshō Ten'in!"
A powerful gravitational force pulled Obito toward him.
Obito, however, wasn't caught off guard. He activated Kamui, shifting himself into his pocket dimension to escape.
He reappeared atop a nearby rooftop, voice filled with mockery. "Pointless. Even if you know my identity, what can you do? I've already erased all traces of the Flying Thunder God on me. You can't chase me."
Naruto's expression darkened. The orange markings of Sage Mode spread across his face.
Nine-Tails chakra surged around him, forming an ethereal arm. With his real hand, he began shaping a Rasengan, infusing it with Sage energy.
"Sage Art: Massive Rasengan."
With a high-pitched whir, the giant sphere of energy materialized, large enough to engulf Obito entirely.
Obito scoffed, phasing through the attack via Kamui, his body vanishing into the dimensional void.
But Naruto wasn't done.
A shadow clone appeared beside Kakashi. The moment their eyes met, Kakashi understood. He lifted his headband, revealing his Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Kamui!"
The shadow clone was sucked into the same dimension as Obito.
Inside the void, Obito prepared to return to the real world. But just as he was about to open his exit point—
A crackling sound echoed behind him.
Obito turned sharply, eyes widening in shock.
A golden blur rushed toward him—Naruto's shadow clone, Rasengan in hand.
"You didn't expect this, did you, Obito?" Naruto sneered. "I'm f***ing in!"
With a loud boom, the Rasengan struck its mark.
Obito's mask shattered, shards scattering into the void. His mind reeled, heart pounding as he instinctively activated Kamui, tearing himself away from the dimension and reappearing in the real world.
Back outside, Naruto's shadow clone landed, a victorious smirk on his lips. He glanced at the half-broken mask lying on the ground.
Mission accomplished.
The clone raised his hands, forming a rapid series of seals.
"Flying Thunder God: Marking Seal!"
All across Obito's pocket dimension, marks of the Flying Thunder God technique started appearing—on the floating debris, on the twisted spires of space-time, on the very air itself. Naruto was branding his presence into this place.
The clone worked tirelessly, zipping through the warped landscape, marking everything he could touch. Even as its chakra depleted, it continued the process, ensuring that the marks were deeply embedded before finally vanishing.
Back in the real world, Naruto stood tall, his smirk unwavering.
"Now let's see you run, Obito."
