The trio quickly appeared back on the battlefield after the Rikudou Sennin explained some missing things to them. Kurama appeared standing up, Hagoromo was floating while Sasuke fell on his face to the ground - "Ugh.... Couldn't you be nicer?"
"That's what you go through for nagging over and over again" - Hagoromo snorted.
"For a 1000+ year old man, you're spiteful..." - Sasuke thought, only to frown when he saw the destruction Gai's technique had caused, even more so when he heard Madara's mad laughter - "You're the strongest Taijutsu expert in the Elemental Nations!"
The Uchiha's body was all mangled and pulsating as it regenerated at high speed.
"Ok, that was disgusting..." - Sasuke said as he saw how the pieces of flesh seemed to be throbbing as if they were alive.
"This is bad..." - Hagoromo said upon seeing this - "You have to stop it, quick!"
"Maito Gai! I declare you the strongest shinobi!" - Madara exclaimed as he extended his newly regenerated hands - "You have earned the honor of being recognized by me, Uchiha Madara, as a worthy opponent!"
Gai could only vomit blood before he lost consciousness. He could feel how his body was about to give out, he could even tell for sure how his heart was beating slower and slower - "I'm sorry.... daughter..."
"It's not time to die yet, Gai" - Kurama said as he appeared in front of the man and used his new sun mark in order to heal him, although seeing the state he was in, it was obvious that there would be irreversible consequences.
"Oh? So you finally appear in front of me, though it's already too late..." - Madara said as he made a hand seal - "It's time for the plan to succeed! Wake up, Rinne Sharingan! It's time to show the world the way to reach eternal peace!"
The scar on Madara's forehead, slowly began to open, showing before the world the return of the strongest Doujutsu - "Witness the most powerful Genjutsu ever created! Mugen Tsukuyomi (Infinite Tsukuyomi)!"
"This is bad, but it's still manageable" - Hagoromo said seriously as he looked around - "This is not the real Mugen Tsukuyomi!"
"That doesn't calm us down in the least" - said Sasuke as he watched the moon slowly start to color a powerful blood-red color as the image of the Rinne Sharingan was imprinted on it.
Slowly, everyone in the world began to unconsciously look up at the sky, except for a few members who were immune to these effects.

"This isn't good..." - Kushina said as she noticed the change in the situation. She quickly made a hand seal and teleported all of her allies to safety - "It's time to use the Akatsuki protocol..."
Kushina quickly created a small squad of clones to send out to guard the different locations of the battlefield in order to protect her teammates.
"Kushina-san! Are you okay?" - Mei asked as she saw how the redhead was still normal, only to notice how the other members of the Uzumaki clan were approaching their location along with the shinobi revived by the Edo Tensei.
"Kushina-chan..." - Mito said seriously.
"Relax, I have a contingency plan" - Kushina replied seriously - "But first..."
She quickly made hand seals to create a dome on the place - "This is now a safe place, though I don't know what kind of situations will happen now."
"What was that about "Akatsuki Protocol"?" - Mito asked with a frown.
"It's simple, it's the plan of retreat to Uzu by the Uzumaki clan, that's why I first create a barrier in this place in order to protect the Alliance people" - answered Kushina seriously.
"Does that mean we're leaving?" - Kin asked while frowning because she wasn't comfortable with the idea.
"Kushina-san, what about the others?" - Mabui asked as she looked around.
"I'm sorry, but I don't think I can help them all" - replied Kushina, who was on the verge of exhaustion with all the fighting and sealing she had done - "Not to mention that we can't allow so many unknown people to go to Uzu."
"For now... let's evacuate..." - Tsunade said as she earned everyone's stare - "I know you don't like the idea of abandoning others, but you have to understand that we are a delightful target for our enemies."
The girls fell silent before reluctantly nodding, only to feel themselves being teleported one after the other.
"I guess I'll be able to take this opportunity to meet my great-grandchildren" - Mito said excitedly.
"I think it would be a better idea if we stayed to help" - replied Hashirama, only to remain silent at the cold stare of his wife.
"If you want to stay, you can stay" - replied Mito neutrally - "Tobi-kun, help my stupid husband"
". . ." - Tobirama could only sigh as he looked at his older brother with cold eyes because he too wanted to meet the latest members of his family.
"Isou: Susano (Majestic Attire: Susano)!" - Sasuke roared as Kurama's body now transformed into Bijuu, was surrounded by a purple aura.
Gai had been moved to safety by one of the red-haired man's clones as the two descendants of the Rikudou Sennin prepared to fight.
"Interesting... it's been a while since I used that technique" - Madara said with a huge grin, only to concentrate a huge amount of Raiton chakra - "Senpo: Inton Raiha (Sage Art: Yin Release Lightning Dispatch)!"
"That's nothing, Madara!" - Kurama roared as his red Rinnegan glowed viciously - "Shinra Tensei!"
Madara's lightning bolts quickly flew off in their owner's direction, only for him to growl in irritation at how powerful the nine-tailed Bijuu's new Doujutsu was.
"You're annoying..." - Madara growled as he noticed how his attack had been returned to him - "But at the same time you make this battle fun..."
"You crazy fucking bitch" - muttered Sasuke as his eyes flashed with malice - "It's because of shit like you that the Uchiha clan has been looked down upon so badly over the years."
"Don't lie, young Uchiha..." - Madara said coldly - "It's not my fault that the Uchiha clan is like me, it's the Uchiha clan's fault that I am like I am! It's this curse that plagues our blood and makes us what we are!"
"We can fight the curse, we can move on, but no, you guys decided to embrace that curse!" - Sasuke roared as he made hand seals at high speed - "Kurama, I want you to release and control as much Raiton chakra as you can because I want to give this son of a bitch a nice gift!"
"Ok" - Kurama replied calmly as he roared fiercely,
The earth around began to tremble as countless lightning bolts fell from the sky now darkened by clouds. Kurama was a force of nature before, but now that he possessed the Rinnegan, he only needed to think about it and chaos would break out in the surroundings.
Madara looked up at the sky for a few seconds before backing away at high speed because Kurama was attacking him with his outstretched tails.
"I had forgotten how annoying it was to see how your limbs could extend at will" - Madara said with a frown because he still remembered how the Kyubi had used his extending tails to be able to corner him for a few seconds before using the Sharingan to take control over him.
"I've learned many things over the years..." - Kurama growled as his tails began to dance, only for the Uchiha to start flicking back and forth.
Sasuke watched this with a frown, but understood the situation when he saw huge wooden 'stakes' appear where the old Uchiha used to stand.
"If you've stopped looking, better concentrate on attacking" - said Kurama as he continued to attack Madara, though this he was doing to distract the Uchiha while Sasuke did whatever he was trying to do.
"Ok" - nodded Sasuke as he made hand seals, only to launch a small sphere of light into the sky "Raiton: Kirin!"
The three fighters waited a few seconds as they looked up at the sky.
Madara was expectant at the young Uchiha's technique, only to frown as he noticed that nothing had happened even though a few seconds had passed - "That's all?"
Kurama gave a blank look to Sasuke, who at least had the decency to avert his gaze.
"I think it's time for me to stop the games..." - Madara muttered as he frowned because he felt like he had been treated like an idiot. He quickly made hand seals, only for a huge smokescreen to appear behind him along with the roar filled with desire for destruction - "Feel the power of the Jubi!"
"ROAR!" - the Jubi roared fiercely as its huge red eye glowed viciously. Kurama could feel the beast's desire to devour him, but far from frightening him it only made his desire to destroy the original Bijuu far greater.
The Jubi again roared fiercely as it concentrated an enormous amount of chaotic energy in front of its gigantic mouth.
"You think you're the only one who can throw a huge Bijuudama!" - Kurama roared fiercely - "Then think twice! Bijuu Juuhou!"
