Chapter 157 -  Juubi Revives

While Shinigami in his human form looks down at the Five Kages, at the same time he let his Chakra flow through his body then he released it in the form of Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure), causing the surroundings to shake, while the Kage stood still in shock at his display of power, and feeling the immense pressure his Chakra is radiating, these changes are also felt in HQ were Ao suddenly yelled "W...What is that thing!? It's Chakra is even bigger than the Kyubi!!".

Hearing that Shikakus ask "Ao-san what is happening!?" and Ao quickly explains "Something happened on the Kages' battlefield, their opponent's Chakra level increased all of the sudden reaching an unprecedented level!! It's so huge that the bubble inside the Kanchi Suikyū (Sensing Water Sphere) is deforming the sphere!! The Kages are in danger!!!".

Listening to the report, Shikaku clicks his tongue and then says "Inoichi!! Quickly inform the reinforcement of this news and tell him to hurry!!" Inoichi quickly nods and does as requested, meanwhile, looking at the imposing figure of Shinigami, Tsunade says "What the hell is he...?" hearing this Shinigami says "I'm the experiment of the Mother of Chakra to create a weapon for her enemies fusing the powers of the Hollow with those of the Shinigami, who got too powerful for her to control and that was then defeated, sealed, and forgotten! I'm death!! Pure destruction!! I'm Shinigami!!" causing his Chakra to spike once again.

Then he once again throws a punch in the direction of the Kages and fires off a violet Bala, Tsunade, who is the first to recover, jumps forward and blocks the Bala with her arms, causing them to be gravely wounded, so much that Mei yells "Hokage-sama!!", but soon Tsunade reassure her as her wounds start to regenerate once again.

But in the middle of healing the damage, Tsunade's Chakra runs out, and all the marking on her body disappears and soon she starts losing consciousness 'Shit the Byakugō no In (Strength of a Hundred Seal)... Run out! I still didn't defea...' and Shinigami took advantage of that moment to move and finish Tsunade off, while the other Kages were too far away to help.

But as he was about to stab her with his tanto, an elongated tongue came out of nowhere, wound itself around Tsunade's waist, and pulled her out of harm's way, while at the same time, a volley of paper shuriken enveloped in wind chakra attacked Shinigami, that as soon as come in contact with his skin explode in a fiery blast.

Meanwhile, Tsunade feels some Chakra enter her system, quickly recovers her consciousness, and finds herself in Jiraiya's arms "W..What?" seeing that she was okay Jiraiya let out a sigh of relief and says "Haa... That was close... Come on Tsunade you can't just give up and die like that, you promised that if we came back, you'd give us a shot... And what happens? You almost get yourself killed!".

The female elder toad Shima on his shoulder, smacks him on the head, and says "Jiraiya-chan that isn't the way to talk to a lady! This is why you are still single at your age! Tsunade-chan how are you feeling?".

Just as she was about to reply, Konan and Yahiko land next to Jiraiya, and Konan with her gaze not leaving the cloud of smoke created by her exploding paper says "Jiraiya-sensei, you do not have time to flirt with her now... We got a more serious problem now!" and Yahiko adds "That's right! You have waited for 40 years more or less, wait some more and focus on that monster... My Wind Release was unable to cut his skin... what the hell is that thing!!".

As the smoke clears, the unharmed figure of Shinigami can be seen looking at the newcomers then he says "You just keep coming... I'm starting to get bored..." seeing that Shinigami is about to attack, Jiraiya puts down Tsunade and says "Yahiko! Konan! Buy me a few seconds" then he sat down cross-legged and starts gathering the natural energy, while Yahiko and Konan with the Kages' support, take away Shinigami attention from Jiraiya.

Meanwhile, back on Naruto's battlefield, thanks to everyone's combined effort, B still in his Bijuu Form, just gave an uppercut to the Gedo Mazo (Demonic Statue of the Outer Path) sending it crashing into the ground, Naruto then taunts Obito "You really look like you're in pain!" Obito, not understanding asks "What do you mean?" and Naruto "You're hiding your face... so I'm just imagining what your face looks like! If you don't like it then take off your mask and show me just how relaxed you look, dumbass!".

Hearing Naruto, Kakashi let out a sigh and says "Haa... I told him not to agitate the opponent..." while Gai in the background yells "You tell him, Naruto!", and Sasuke simply comments "Baka...", but Obito stood still for a few seconds, then using the ram seal, he summons two wooden caskets and says "Oh well... I have no choice now, I wanted to revive it in a perfect form but...".

As Obito is speaking, the Gedo Mazo picks up the two caskets in its hand and throws them in its mouth as Obito continues "...Even just a piece possesses the same power" then the Gedo Mazo let out a powerful roar, and Obito says "It's a bit late... But the promised time it here! Look careful, then feel it on your skin!".

The Gedo Mazo with now all his eyes opened continues to roar, and at the same time, Obito yells "The Juubi has been revived!! The beginning and end of this world!!", hearing that Kakashi says "I get it! So the Gedo Mazo is the vessel of the Juubi!" then he asks how was it possible as the Hachibi and Kyubi still have their Chakra, but Gyuki realize that only a piece is needed for the revival and Akatsuki already, got his from his tail when he fooled them, and told it to the others.

And soon after Kurama switched with Naruto and told them that he felt his own Chakra coming from those caskets, and that probably inside there are the corpse of Ginkaku and Kinkaku, two Kumo ninjas who fought against him, and after he ate them, they to survive ate the meat in his stomach and absorbed his Chakra, then he said that he didn't know what form the Juubi will take with only a piece of their Chakra.

Hearing that Kakashi says "I'd like to do something before it's revived, if possible..." and Obito says "Kakashi... You always open your mouth so easily, it's no wonder you've lived a life of regret", noticing something Gai asks "... Just... Who are you?" but Obito replies "You don't remember faces, so what point is there in telling you?".

Kurama still in control of Naruto's body says "Kakashi... As you said now is our only chance before the Juubi is revived. Granpa Rikudou said that the Juubi's complete revival will signal the end of this world... It's a collection of all the Chakra from Ichibi to me, the Kyubi... It is the beginning of all Chakra, a god who created countries, it swallows oceans, splits the land, carries mountains, and is the progenitor of all that exists in this world... To put it simply, it's like all 9 Bijuu combined, I alone don't stand a chance against it... to be honest... but if only a piece of the Sanbi, Hachibi, and my Chakra is in there... then we won't know unless we try...".

But Obito says "You're misunderstanding... The Juubi revival doesn't need to be perfect for my purposes, my goal is simply the great Genjutsu Infinite Tsukuyomi!".
