Uchiha Madara was not a man who would fall in the same place twice.
The last time, he had been sealed by Naruto Uzumaki using a Super-Weighted Rock Technique combined with Chibaku Tensei (Planetary Devastation). After escaping that imprisonment, the very first thing Madara did was absorb the chakra of the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, and use the Human Path to extract the jutsu knowledge from his mind. This allowed him to master Iwagakure's weighted rock techniques and further develop the devastating Super-Weighted Rock: Heavenly Obstacle Quaking Stars.
By increasing the weight and density of the Heavenly Obstacle Star a thousandfold, each meteor became a catastrophic weapon of destruction.
BOOOOM!!!
A Heavenly Obstacle Star descended, flames igniting from the friction of the atmosphere as it tore through the sky, dominating the heavens above Amegakure (Hidden Rain Village) with earth-shattering momentum.
The entire village was instantly shrouded in despair.
"What is that!?"
"A meteor!?"
"No… it's a calamity!!"
"We're doomed!!!"
CRACKLE!
But just then, a streak of violet lightning shot up from the tallest tower in Amegakure, racing toward the meteor.
"It's Naruto Uzumaki!"
As he ascended, Naruto's gaze was sharp yet calm.
"Madara has mastered that technique too? And he's combined it with the Heavenly Obstacle Star… If this meteor falls, it won't just destroy Amegakure—it'll obliterate the entire Land of Rain. But… it's not a problem."
Naruto's hands moved steadily, forming seals as he braced himself beneath the meteor, his body enveloped in crackling lightning.
"Earth Release: Super-Lightweight Rock Technique!!"
HUMMM!
The meteor's immense weight was instantly reduced.
Note: The effects of the weighted rock techniques are replaced when applied repeatedly to the same object.
For example, in the combination jutsu used by the Tsuchikage and Raikage, the Super-Lightweight Rock Technique was first used to accelerate their speed to its maximum. Immediately after, the Super-Weighted Rock Technique was applied, not reverting to normal weight but instead creating an extremely heavy effect.
Similarly, this meteor wasn't merely reduced to its normal weight—it was directly transformed into a super-lightweight meteor!
With the meteor's weight drastically reduced, Naruto, with his current strength, could now shatter it with ease.
CRACKLE!
Naruto gathered an immense amount of lightning chakra.
"Lightning Style: Rasengan Burst!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The violet Rasengan didn't pierce like a blade but unleashed a powerful explosion of lightning that spread throughout the meteor's structure.
CRACK! CRACK!
The super-lightweight meteor began to crumble rapidly, but the falling debris still posed a significant threat.
Naruto raised his hand high, creating a gravitational core.
"Chibaku Tensei!"
BOOOOM!
The disintegrating fragments of the meteor were instantly drawn together, forming a new celestial body. As Naruto lowered his hand, the reconstructed meteor descended gently to the ground, causing a rumbling quake as it landed safely away from the village.
The first meteor was dealt with, but Naruto didn't relax. His eyes turned toward the darkened sky above.
He knew the second meteor was already on its way.
"Hmph… Naruto, you never fail to impress me," Madara muttered with a smirk.
High above the clouds, Madara's Perfect Susano'o rose majestically, its massive figure cutting through the heavens.
As the second meteor streaked downward, Madara deactivated his Susano'o, extending his hand toward the meteor's tail. His Rinnegan gleamed ominously.
"Let's see how you handle this—Super Shinra Tensei combined with Super-Weighted Rock: Heavenly Obstacle Quaking Stars!"
BOOOOM!!!
A repulsive force powerful enough to level mountains surged from Madara's hand, striking the meteor's tail and accelerating its descent.
"With this force, the moment you touch the meteor, you'll be obliterated. You won't even have the chance to use a jutsu. Your only option is to abandon the village, use your precious Flying Thunder God, and run like a coward!"
In midair, Naruto clenched his fists. Beneath his mask, his expression was a mix of shock and exhilaration.
"This… this is incredible. It's enough to make my blood boil. Fine, Madara—let's do this!"
ZZZZAP!
"Super Shinra Tensei!!"
BOOOOOM!!!
An overwhelming repulsive force clashed with the descending meteor, creating a titanic struggle between opposing forces.
The battlefield became a chaotic storm of sonic booms and turbulent winds, leaving the citizens of Amegakure in awe and terror.
"What's happening!?"
"Who… who's fighting!?"
"Could it be Lord Pain!?"
WHOOSH!
Thousands of paper fragments gathered in the sky, forming the figure of Konan, the Angel of Amegakure. With her paper wings spread wide, she shouted at the top of her voice:
"People of Amegakure! As you've heard, Lord Pain is no longer with us!"
Silence.
Aside from the deafening clash of forces in the heavens, the entire village fell silent at Konan's words.
She continued, her voice resolute:
"Pain attacked Konoha. The one who stopped him was his disciple, Naruto Uzumaki!"
The villagers murmured among themselves:
"So, the rumors were true? Pain really attacked Konoha? But why would he do such a thing?"
Konan explained,
"Pain was not the god you believed him to be. He was a mortal, just like us—one who could be blinded by hatred and lose his way.
"But Naruto Uzumaki, who trained under the same master as Pain, brought him back to his senses. Pain was not killed by Naruto—he sacrificed his own life to revive those who had died in Konoha."
Konan extended her arms, her voice rising:
"Afterward, Naruto came to Amegakure, determined to carry on Pain's will. And now, as you can see, he is risking his life—fighting to protect Amegakure and all of you!"
The villagers were moved to tears by her words.
"Lord Naruto!!!"
"We pledge our allegiance to you!!!"
"We will live and die alongside you!!!"
Actions spoke louder than words. Naruto's selfless defense of the village had already won over the hearts of Amegakure's people. He had become their new leader, replacing Pain in their eyes.
WHOOSH!
Naruto removed his mask and tossed it into the wind, revealing a bright and determined smile.
"Nothing fires me up more than protecting others! Let's gooooo!!!"
ZAP!!!
The repulsive force from his palms surged dramatically.
Caught between the opposing gravitational forces, the super-weighted meteor began to fracture under the immense pressure.
Madara's eyes narrowed in shock.
"This boy… his power is still increasing…"
BOOOOM!!!
The Heavenly Obstacle Star shattered completely!
As the fragments of the meteor scattered, Naruto's sharp eyes caught the danger.
"This isn't good. If the debris spreads, I won't be able to stop it all in time."
His mind raced, torn between options, when suddenly, on the ground below, Sakura Haruno formed a seal and slammed her hands onto the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
With a massive puff of smoke, Katsuyu appeared.
The slug looked at the reanimated Sakura in surprise.
"Lady Sakura, what's going on here!?"
Sakura replied decisively,
"I'll explain later, Katsuyu. Right now, I need your help to protect everyone!"
Katsuyu nodded.
"Understood!"
Sakura sat cross-legged, closing her eyes as the Strength of a Hundred Seal fully released.
She thought to herself,
"With this reanimated body, my chakra remains constant and inexhaustible. I can continuously transfer chakra to Katsuyu, allowing her to split into enough clones to shield everyone."
"Reanimated Hundred Seal: Infinite Katsuyu Technique!"
BOOM!
Katsuyu's massive body split into countless clones, spreading across Amegakure to protect its citizens.
From above, Naruto caught sight of Sakura's actions and was visibly moved.
"Sakura…"
Sakura shouted up at him,
"Naruto! Don't hold back for even a second! The village can be rebuilt, but as long as I'm here, not a single life will be lost!"
Naruto grinned widely, his heart swelling with pride.
"That's the Sakura Haruno I know! Let's do this!!!"
With no more hesitation, Naruto unleashed his full power.
Madara's expression faltered as he watched.
"This boy… his strength is still growing…"
BOOOOM!!! BOOOOM!!!
The Heavenly Obstacle Star was utterly obliterated!
