Naruto: Konoha’s Trickster, Starting as the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki-Chapter 775 - 775: The Five Kage Assemble

"BOOM!"
A massive cloud of smoke swallowed the battlefield, and even Rasa's sharp eyes lost sight of the target for a moment.
But soon, three figures staggered out of the haze.
Kakashi's right arm dangled uselessly at his side.
"Kakashi, are you alright?"
"Rin!"
"I know, Obito. Hold him off for a bit—I'll heal him!"
Inside the smoke, a blue light grew stronger and stronger—Susanoo had already manifested.
Madara Uchiha stood untouched within it, his gaze toward Kakashi's group dripping with disdain. But when his eyes landed on Obito Uchiha, a flicker of surprise flashed across them.
"I didn't expect you to finally awaken your eyes."
"A space-type dōjutsu? Impressive."
From the very beginning, the first person to catch Madara's interest had been this boy—Obito Uchiha.
Unfortunately, after becoming Kazuyama's disciple, he'd slipped out of Madara's influence, forcing Madara to shift his attention toward Muren Uchiha instead.
Now, seeing Obito awaken his eye, Madara couldn't help being a little shocked.
But this wasn't the time for sentiment. Since they had chosen to attack him, they should prepare to be crushed.
As for that lightning-wreathed brat earlier—his blow had indeed been powerful, enough to crack Susanoo's outer shell slightly.
But Madara's counterattack had been swift: a tomoe barrage from Susanoo that shattered the boy's right arm.
"Hmph. Susanoo, huh?"
"I can use it too, but the strain is too much."
"So this will do! Old fossil—eat this! Kamui!"
Staring at the massive Susanoo, then at Kakashi's pale face, Obito's temper exploded. He didn't hesitate—he activated his eye.
Kamui unleashed.
A violent space distortion slammed into Susanoo.
The air visibly twisted—then—
"Crack!"
The front ribs of Susanoo shattered instantly, exposing Madara inside.
Even Madara was slightly impressed. Shattering Susanoo meant this dōjutsu had considerable force.
"A fine dōjutsu."
"But you're still unworthy."
"Shadow Clone Technique. Since you want to dance, let me see how long you can keep up."
Shadow clones burst into existence, and one Susanoo after another rose from the earth around them.
The battlefield flipped in an instant. Crushing pressure descended upon Kakashi's team. Even Rasa, floating in the air, was stunned.
Susanoo could be used like THIS???
How were they supposed to fight this?
"Damn it! Why haven't the other Kage arrived yet!? Kakashi! Obito! Rin! Fall back!"
"We can't face him directly!"
"Gold Dust Waterfall!"
Rasa reacted instantly with the smartest choice—retreat. With ten Susanoo manifesting at once, there was no chance of victory.
"Trying to run? Not allowed. You piqued my interest—how could you leave now?"
"Fire Release! Great Fire Destruction!"
Colossal fireballs erupted from every Susanoo's mouth, repainting the sky crimson.
Even Rasa's Gold Dust couldn't block flames of this magnitude.
"Damn!"
"Water Release! Water Formation Pillar!"
"Water Release! Water Formation Pillar!"
Just when the fireballs were about to hit, two enormous pillars of water shot upward.
They slammed into the flames, stopping them with sheer overwhelming volume.
"Yahiko, your Water Release keeps improving."
"Tsurumi, don't tease me. Compared to you, mine is nothing."
Two silhouettes appeared at the frontlines—Yahiko and Terumi.
Behind Yahiko, Konan was already in position.
"Phew… reinforcements finally arrived?"
"About time."
Seeing the flames blocked, Rasa let out a heavy breath of relief.
Moments later, three more figures descended. One of them landed with a roar:
"Finally! Time to go wild!"
Lightning far stronger than Kakashi's instantly engulfed him—the Fourth Raikage.
"Oh? Seems I'm the last to arrive?"
"Apologies, age slows the body."
"But this scene is… truly something."
Ōnoki's voice was the last to reach them. Floating in the air, his gaze locked onto Madara.
Madara also looked toward him and laughed disdainfully. "Ōnoki of Both Scales… you've grown, haven't you? Even became a Kage."
"The ninja world must really be in decline."
"So, you're the current Five Kage?"
"Let's see if you can entertain me."
Madara's true body didn't move at all.
His shadow clones, armored in Susanoo, marched forward.
Blocking their advance were the Five Kage—Yahiko, Konan—and the others.
Kakashi's team had already been forced back.
"Kakashi, Rin, Obito—fall back. This battle doesn't belong to you."
"But you have a mission—find that puppeteer. Eliminate him."
Having recovered from his wounds, Kakashi heard Minato Namikaze's voice. He glanced once more at distant Madara and knew they were simply not on the same level.
"Understood, Lord Hokage. We'll complete the mission."
"Obito, Rin—let's go."
Once the three departed, the area became a forbidden zone.
"Never thought you truly resurrected, Uchiha Madara."
"From here on—we are your opponents."
Minato stepped to the front, Kushina close behind.
Inside her, the Nine-Tails stirred uneasily.
"Hey, Kushina, be careful. His power—"
"Shut up, Kurama! Just give me your chakra! I'll handle everything else!"
"…Fine. Have it your way."
The moment the golden chains began forming, Kurama fell silent. What else could he say?
This woman never listened.
A heartbeat later, crimson-gold chakra flared around Kushina like a blazing inferno. The pressure of her aura startled even the Kage.
Madara's gaze shifted toward her, murmuring, "The Nine-Tails' jinchūriki? She can actually wield its power?"
Yes—Kushina had entered combat state.
Kurama Mode.
"Minato! Let's go!"
"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
Kushina launched the first strike.
Even in Kurama Mode, she was still an Uzumaki.
Golden chains burst forth in overwhelming numbers, blanketing the battlefield instantly.
