Chapter 179 - Infinite Tsukuyomi

Obito quickly notices the change in Naruto, his pupils consisting of a cross of vertical fox-slits with horizontal toad-slits, and there is no pigmentation around his eyes, this is a sign that he is in Six Path Sage Mode, a divine transformation gifted by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.

Just as Obito was about to attack, the explosion in the sky distracts him for a moment, and Naruto took advantage of this, to pull Gai to safety near, Kakashi, Gaara, and Rock Lee who came to see his mentor and role model fight, then he once again stood in front of Obito, that now is once again back to full health, all the wounds he received from Gai disappeared, then after floating up in the sky, he says to Naruto "You cannot defeat me, I have obtained complete immortality, I am eternal".

Naruto, fixing his protector, replies "You dumbass!! I'm not gonna defeat you..." and as Sasuke, and Sakura appears next to him, Naruto enters his Kurama Mode once again, only this time his appearance changed once again, his body is coated in yellow chakra, a sort of circular design is featured prominently over his stomach, the whisker-like markings on his face become thicker to resemble the ☰ trigram, six magatama markings are present on or around his collar, various other dark designs appear along his body, sometimes densely enough to give the appearance that he's wearing a bodysuit beneath the yellow coat, and a pattern consisting of a Rinnegan-like marking above nine magatamas also appears on his back.

He also gains control over the Gudōdama (Truth-Seeking Ball), as eight of them appear behind his back, and two in his hands in the form of long sticks, then Naruto ends his speech "...We will...!!" and Sasuke who also changed, and now thanks to Hagoromo, his left eye is a Rinnegan, which contains three tomoe on its two innermost circles for a total of six, says "I'm ready for you Obito... You will pay for what you have done to the Uchiha!!" and Sakura releases her Byakugō no In (Strength of a Hundred Seal) ready to support her teammates.

Obito looks at their figures, totally ignoring Sakura's presence, and says "One has the Senjutsu of the Six Path blossomed within him... And the other one has awakened the Rinnegan... But for me... I have both of those power together in one being! This will be the final battle! My conviction to erase this filthy world or yours to save it... Let's settle once and for all, which of the two is greater!!!".

Meanwhile, all the ninjas of the Alliance watch in horror as a transparent Shinigami slowly float in the sky then they hear his voice that says "Incredible... Even you ants were able to kill me once... Those thousands of years sealed made me rustier than I thought...", then he once again resurrect himself returning corporeal and says "...It is time to stop holding back... I will teach you what despair truly is...".

And the next moment, Shinigami Chakra starts rising and enveloping his whole body, and soon his body starts to change, the horn on his head grew much larger, with a violet flame-like Chakra in the middle, his priest-like attire becomes black, and his body is not only made of bones, but also a mass of violet-black Chakra with twelve rib bones and a tailbone floating in their normal positions, and the lower half ends in flame-like violet Chakra, hiding his feet from sight, with a violet shine in his hollow eyes, he says "Resurrección: Segunda Etapa (Resurrection: Second Stage)".

So strong is Shinigami's presence that everyone is forced on their knees, then he says "It's time to reap some souls..." and he points his bony finger at Onoki who is then quickly drawn toward him, while all the others can do is stay still, but just as his body was about to reach Shinigami, Ren appears and grabs Onoki from his leg stopping him and says "Oh come on!... What's up with this trope that enemies always have another more powerful form... It's all Frieza's fault, he started this trend!!" but just as Shinigami is about to reply, he stops and looks at the sky with a smile on his skull face, seeing this Ren let go of Onoki telling him to retreat and does the same, and quickly his expression turn ugly.

A few minutes back, the former team 7 is looking for an opportunity to attack Obito, but seeing none, Sakura decides to create one herself, she says "I'll create a diversion... Go on" and quickly runs toward Obito, but he attacks her with a Gudōdama in the form of a sword, just as it is about to pierce her body, Sakura uses a Shunpo to quickly dodge and move to Obito's left side, then she throws a powerful punch, but her punch is blocked by something invisible.

Sasuke who took advantage of Sakura's distraction, also used a Shunpo to quickly move behind Obito and attack him with a Chidori Sword, but this also perfectly timed attack is blocked, the only difference is that thanks to his Rinnegan, Sasuke can see what stopped his attack, he can also see two other invisible enemies about to attack Sakura and him so he quickly warns her "Sakura! Be careful behi...", but quickly Naruto came and kicks away the enemies behind while Sasuke and Sakura free themselves and retreat.

Once they regrouped Naruto says "Sakura-chan, Sasuke, he is surrounded by four presences... I can't see them, but I feel them clearly", and Sasuke replies "Really I can see them just fine... there are four more Obito around him... and it seems that they are invulnerable to physical attacks... but Senjutsu works fine on them..." then he notices that the four Obito once again rejoin the main body and so he quickly tell the others his findings "...It also seems that after a certain amount of time they have to return back to the main body, we can take advantage of this!".

But before they could develop a sound plan, Obito makes his moves yelling "It's time to end this!" he floats up in the sky leaving behind four Rinbo: Hengoku (Limbo: Border Jail) the Jutsu he inherited from Madara's Rinnegan, then he quickly uses multiple Chibaku Tensei to create massive earthen debris and drop them on the trio.

Naruto quickly uses his Kage Bushin to create four clones to fight Obito's four shadows, then he uses the Bijuudama Rasenshuriken to destroy the falling debris, while Sasuke uses his Complete Body Susanoo to cut them into smaller pieces, and Sakura is using Shunpo to destroy the smaller pieces with her powerful punch.

But Obito reached his objective, he brought enough time to fly close enough to the moon, he removes the plating from his forehead revealing a third eye, and turning his gaze to the moon, he starts activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and soon the moon reflect his Dojutsu on the surface, Sasuke notices this and quickly grabs Sakura and returns back to Naturo, who at the same time shoots multiple Bijuudama Raseshuriken to destroy the remaining debris, and cover him with his Susanoo.

At the same time, Shinigami and Ren, are looking the moon, Ren quickly acts, he draws his Zanbakuto and says "Chire (Scatter), Senbonzakura" and as soon as the blade shatters into thousands of small flying blades, Ren orders them to quickly envelope his body in a cocoon on blades, while Shinigami, easily opens a Garganta and walks inside it saying "See you soon, shinigami...the next thing is going to be fun!" then he disappears.
