Hirato, his eyes now a blend of the Rinnegan and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, manipulated the battlefield with terrifying efficiency. His chains, infused with the power of the Rinnegan, lashed out with deadly accuracy, striking at the brothers with the speed of a viper. He utilized the Deva Path to repulse their attacks, while his Susanoo's black flames of Infernal Devastation burned relentlessly, consuming everything in their path.
As the battle raged, Hirato's phantoms of Phantom Inferno carried the black flames across the battlefield, setting fire to the very air. Hashirama's wood constructs struggled to contain the inferno, but the black flames clung to them, burning with unyielding intensity. Tobirama's water jutsu evaporated in clouds of steam as the flames advanced.
Hirato felt power growing within him, his eyes gleaming with an intense, ominous light. "This is the peak of power. I can't imagine what I will become when I finally seal the rest of the tailed beasts!" His voice echoed with a sinister resonance as he commanded the battlefield.
The cave trembled as Hashirama's True Several Thousand Hands statue, a towering behemoth of wood, surged forward, its colossal fists raining down with earth-shaking force. Hirato's Rinnegan flared, activating the Deva Path. With a repulsive force, he pushed the statue back, the ground cracking under the immense pressure. Tobirama seized the moment, vanishing in a flash of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!" Tobirama's voice reverberated through the chaos. Explosive tags multiplied exponentially, covering the walls, ceiling, and floor of the cave. The first explosion set off a chain reaction, engulfing the cavern in a series of deafening blasts. The smoke and debris clouded the air, but Hirato's clones shared their vision, coordinating effortlessly through the chaos, started to absorb the chakra and explosion.
Hirato's clones with the Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan darted forward, their Susanoo avatars clashing with Hashirama's wooden constructs. The spectral warriors, encased in formidable armor, swung their ethereal blades, slicing through the wood with unyielding force. The Rinnegan clones manipulated the battlefield with their individual abilities, repelling attacks, launching mechanical projectiles, absorbing chakra and summoning monstrous creatures to overwhelm their opponents.
Hirato stood amidst the bedlam, his chains infused with chakra, lashing out with deadly precision. The chains struck like vipers, each hit met with resistance as Hashirama's wood and Tobirama's water defenses clashed with them. The air crackled with energy, the black flames of Infernal Devastation spreading relentlessly.
Amidst the chaos, Hirato's sinister grin widened. "You cannot win. This is the power of a true god!" His Rinnegan clones advanced, their abilities creating a nearly impenetrable defense.
Hirato shouted, "It is time for you to go back to the afterlife!" With a swift motion, crimson Uzumaki Adamantine Sealing Chains erupted from his back, glowing with a fierce red light. The chains snaked through the air, aiming to bind Hashirama and Tobirama. As the chains wrapped around the Senju brothers, their movements became restricted, the powerful sealing technique draining their chakra and immobilizing them, started to draw their souls from anchor bodies, releasing Edo Tensei.
Hashirama's eyes widened with a mix of surprise and frustration. "These chains... they are formidable," he muttered, straining against the bindings. Tobirama's face twisted in anger as he struggled to break free, his muscles tensing with effort.
Suddenly, a figure appeared from the shadows, moving with such speed and precision that it was almost a blur. Horyu emerged, his hand glowing with chakra. He pressed his palm against Hirato's forehead, and an intense wave of energy surged through the room. Hirato's eyes widened in shock as his control over the chains wavered.
The effect was instantaneous; the chaotic energy and violent clashes ceased as if a switch had been flipped. The black flames that had once consumed the cavern vanished, and the oppressive aura dissipated. Hashirama and Tobirama felt the chains loosen around them, but they were weakened. They looked on as Horyu's power enveloped Hirato, neutralizing the threat. The silence that followed was eerie, the sudden calmness contrasting starkly with the previous tumult.
It was not that Horyu waited until the last minute to act; he had been creating seals in the background. His fingers moved with precision, weaving complex patterns of chakra into the air. The moment of silence allowed him to complete the intricate web. As he finished, he noticed a few other figures in the cave. Mito stood over Black Zetsu, with Naruto and Himawari flanking her. Hirato's eyes narrowed at the sight of his siblings, his teeth gritting in frustration. Naruto and Himawari, however, looked at him with a mix of pain and resolve.
Naruto and Himawari approached Hirato, their steps hesitant but determined. Horyu stepped back, still feeling the drain from the immense effort. "Mito-sama, the seal you created sure is difficult to use," Horyu remarked, his voice slightly strained. The advanced version of the Uzumaki Adamantine Sealing Chains was indeed a masterpiece. It sealed Hirato's chakra within his cells, keeping him alive but completely unable to use his chakra. Horyu was preparing to use it from the beginning, and fortunately, he finished before two reanimated Kage were defeated.
Around them, the Zetsu clones fell dead, their connection to the original severed. The last attack had almost sealed Hashirama and Tobirama, leaving them weakened but still present. Hashirama's usual vibrant aura was dimmed, and Tobirama's sharp eyes showed signs of fatigue. Despite their condition, the two brothers maintained a stern vigilance over the situation.
Hirato, restrained by the seal, glared at his siblings. "Naruto, Himawari... you side with them, With Konoha? With Uchiha!?" His voice was a mix of anger and betrayal.
Naruto's eyes, filled with sadness, met Hirato's gaze. "We don't side with anyone but peace, Hirato. We want to stop this madness. This isn't you."
Himawari nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. "Brother, please, we can find another way. This path will only lead to more pain."
Hirato laughed madly, "Pain? I embraced the pain so no one had to suffer!" His voice echoed through the cave, laced with bitterness and fury. "You, Naruto, who talks about peace, and you, Himawari, who clings to hope, neither of you understand the cost of real change."
Naruto stepped closer, his eyes filled with a mixture of determination and sorrow. "Hirato, this isn't the way. Your path is only leading to more destruction. We can find another way, together."
Hirato's eyes burned with a manic light, his body tense with rage. "Together? You mean under Konoha's thumb, always being watched, always being controlled? I refuse to live like that!" His face grimaced with pain and anger. "They killed Father and Mother! Have you already forgotten?"
Naruto stepped forward, his eyes full of determination. "I haven't forgotten, Hirato. But this path of vengeance will only lead to more suffering. We can honor their memory by building a better future, not by drowning in hatred."
Himawari's voice trembled as she spoke. "Brother, please. We can find a way to change things without becoming monsters ourselves."
Hirato's laugh was hollow and bitter. "You speak of honor and change, but you don't understand the depths of this world's darkness. I've seen it. I've felt it. And I will use any means necessary to ensure our family's survival and dominance."
Horyu appeared in front of Hirato and slapped him hard across the room. "Shut the fuck up already," he commanded, his voice sharp and unyielding.
