Minato was able to contend with Obito, whereas Ōnoki and the Fourth Raikage could not... not because their strength was significantly inferior to Minato's, but because Minato, with his Space-Time Ninjutsu, could choose to flee even if he couldn't win...

They, however, lacked that flexibility—

—Even the Fourth Raikage, in his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, couldn't escape Obito's attacks.

"<Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!>"

Ōnoki unleashed his trump card, Dust Release. Though it consumed a massive amount of chakra—Ōnoki couldn't be bothered with that now.

As Ōnoki used Dust Release, Obito used Truth-Seeking Orbs to form a giant sphere, enveloping himself within it.

Though this black sphere was only a thin layer, it possessed the strongest defense.

Any Ninjutsu attack was ineffective, including Dust Release, a Kekkei Tōta that surpassed Kekkei Genkai. It had no effect whatsoever.

"<Lightning Release: Elbow!>"

The Fourth Raikage, shrouded in blue lightning, transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged towards Six Paths Obito, his elbow aimed at Obito.

This elbow strike could make even a mountain tremble.

However, when the Fourth Raikage struck, Obito used a Truth-Seeking Orb to defend. Upon contact with the Truth-Seeking Orb, the Fourth Raikage's right arm vanished.

If the Fourth Raikage hadn't stopped quickly, he would probably be dead now.

Anyone without Six Paths power who touched a Truth-Seeking Orb would be annihilated. Now, the Fourth Raikage's arm was gone.

The Fourth Raikage, with his arm—demonstrated the terror of the Truth-Seeking Orbs to others.

"This black sphere is somewhat similar to Dust Release, but far more horrifying," Ōnoki immediately warned everyone.

His earlier Dust Release attack had been ineffective, meaning this black sphere's power surpassed Dust Release—

"Fourth Raikage, are you alright?" Gaara asked with concern. It was natural to be concerned now—after all, they were comrades-in-arms.

"I'm fine."

The Fourth Raikage was a tough man. Even with one arm gone, he remained calm.

In the original story, when the Fourth Raikage's arm was set ablaze by Amaterasu's black flames, he decisively cut it off.

This showed the Fourth Raikage was a ruthless man.

That was in the original story. Now, due to the changes in the plot, the Fourth Raikage hadn't even fought Sasuke Uchiha yet.

———

"Be careful." Nawaki said to Hiashi Hyūga. Nawaki didn't want to see Hiashi get into trouble.

"You too, be careful."

Hiashi Hyūga nodded and said the same to Nawaki.

Actually, neither of them had to worry that much. Tsunade and Hinata were watching them. If they were in danger—they would intervene.

Nawaki was Tsunade's brother, and Hiashi Hyūga was Hinata's father.

How could they not intervene? Even without them, Shin would save them.

"Nawaki, you go deal with the Edo Tensei army," Minato Namikaze returned to Nawaki's side and said.

"Are you sure you can deal with Obito Uchiha?"

Nawaki asked Minato Namikaze with surprise. Is Minato Namikaze hiding his strength?

Minato Namikaze smiled wryly. "I think I can at least stall him. You should quickly help Lord Second Hokage and the others seal the other reanimated individuals, then come help me—"

This was Minato Namikaze's tactful way of saying—'You're not much use here.'

And it was true...

Even if they stayed, they couldn't help much. Defeating Obito was simply impossible.

Even if Hashirama Senju were free, he couldn't deal with Obito either.

"Alright, you be careful." Nawaki considered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Perhaps what Minato Namikaze said was the best choice.

Minato Namikaze nodded. He certainly would be cautious. If he wasn't careful, he might die. Even though he was an Edo Tensei and wasn't afraid of dying, who knew if the opponent had a way to prevent him from regenerating.

———

"Sensei, I'll help you." Kakashi decided to stay and help Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze was about to refuse, but was interrupted.

"Are you done chatting?" Obito's face was filled with anger, a cold glint in his eyes.

Ignoring him and chatting away?? The furious Obito summoned a part of the Ten-Tails' body and released a Tailed Beast Ball.

This was the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.

The Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball could flatten several mountains. And the Ten-Tails was who-knows how many times stronger than the Nine-Tails—

—How strong was the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball??

The Ten-Tails had released one before, but Shin had pushed it back. The Tailed Beast Ball had hit the Ten-Tails itself, so others didn't know how destructive it was.

But just its chakra was unprecedented. If this terrifying Tailed Beast Ball fell, they, including the Allied Shinobi Forces, would all die.

"<Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder!>"

Minato Namikaze unhesitatingly charged forward, using his chakra without regard for consumption. Anyway, Edo Tensei had infinite chakra—Minato Namikaze wasn't afraid of running out.

Using Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder, he teleported the Tailed Beast Ball to the sea.

The Tailed Beast Ball struck the sea surface, creating a monstrous wave and triggering a massive earthquake—

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!"

———

"It's like a natural disaster." Nawaki felt the ground shake and couldn't help but say.

Though he didn't know where Minato Namikaze had teleported the Tailed Beast Ball, it was definitely a very far place.

And they could still feel it here...

This showed how strong the Tailed Beast Ball was. The Ten-Tails could easily destroy a country, right?

Actually, the question mark could be removed. Destroying a country was an easy matter. Even if given time, destroying the world wasn't impossible for the Ten-Tails.

And destroying living beings was even easier—A single Infinite Tsukuyomi could wipe out all life.

"Obito, turn back. Everyone can forgive you—" Minato Namikaze said to Obito.

"Hahahaha! Can Rin come back then?" Obito's eyes were crimson as he stared at Minato Namikaze, his eyes filled with hatred.

A flicker of guilt crossed Minato Namikaze's eyes.

If he had paid more attention back then, perhaps Rin wouldn't have died, and Obito wouldn't have become like this.

"Obito, don't be used by others!" Minato Namikaze said with concern.

His intuition told him Obito was being used, and the one using him was likely Madara Uchiha.

"So what if I'm being used? Everything is in my hands now."

Obito said calmly, but thinking of Shin, Obito felt somewhat unnatural.

He had thought that becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki would allow him to deal with Shin Uzumaki, but it turned out he was still no match, and the gap was quite large.
