Sizzle!
Izanagi transforms unfavorable outcomes, including death, into mere illusions, effectively nullifying even the effects of genjutsu!
Obito evaded Kotoamatsukami, but the curse injury from Death Controlling Possessed Blood remained before activating Izanagi!
Naruto donned his mask again: "You escaped, but for the next ten minutes, you're invincible. So, do you want to fight to the death?"
"But the wound on your chest isn't looking good. During Izanagi's duration, you might not feel the pain or bleeding, but after ten minutes, the accumulated effects could be fatal. Your best option is to return to your base and treat the injury immediately..."
Clang!
Tobi landed beside Obito!
Obito glared at Naruto: "You've calculated everything, even that I'd use Izanagi! Why didn't you have Hidan target my vital points and kill me outright?"
Naruto replied: "I see you as an opponent, not an enemy. In the future, we might stand together against a true enemy."
"Heh, a true enemy..."
Obito's inner monologue.
This boring, decaying, hopeless world is my true enemy!
"Naruto, you can claim victory in this battle, but in the future, I won't back down..."
With that, Obito placed his hand on Tobi's shoulder, activating Kamui... Just before being absorbed, he saw Naruto's four-word lip movement, and his eyes narrowed!
After Obito left, Konan approached: "In the memories you showed me, did he use that eye technique to escape my Paper Person of God technique?"
Naruto nodded: "Yes, Izanagi, a forbidden technique requiring both Senju and Uchiha powers, at the cost of blindness. Obito is cautious; his left Sharingan is reserved for Izanagi, making him invincible for ten minutes..."
"I see, ten minutes is also my limit for Paper Person of God..."
Konan thought: Then I'll prepare more. If 600 billion isn't enough, 1 trillion should be...
Naruto watched Obito's departure, reflecting: Obito is like another version of me. In my past life, I was isolated and in darkness. If things had gone differently, I might have become like him...
Konan asked: "Are you ready to find Sasuke?"
Naruto sat cross-legged, closing his eyes: "Yes, once I re-enter Sage Mode, I'll go."
...
With Obito and Tobi gone, their plan failed. To conserve strength, the White Zetsu attacking the Leaf Village began to retreat!

"Those guys are escaping!! Damn it, they killed so many of our comrades!! Don't let them get away!!!" Hatred drove the Leaf ninjas to pursue relentlessly.
Shikaku Nara shouted: "Let them go!"
The ninjas were puzzled: "Shikaku-san!"
Shikaku explained: "Their numbers are too great. If we fight head-on, our casualties will be higher. Besides..."
Shikaku looked at the devastated landscape and listened to the rumbling behind him, saying: "We have more important tasks! Treat the wounded, support the village!"
The ninjas snapped out of their rage, swallowing their hatred, and began organizing!
...
At the center of the Leaf Village, Perfect Susanoo stood like a revered war god, shaking the heavens and earth!
The dark purple color symbolized Sasuke's heart filled with hatred!
"Hahahahahahaha...! Fall before this power, tremble, despair, and die like insects!! Your actions against the Uchiha clan have brought this retribution!!"
Sasuke laughed maniacally from the forehead of Susanoo.
Swish!
The giant sword swung, shattering mountains and rivers!
"Ah...!!!!" The ninjas' screams echoed endlessly.
"Sasuke, please stop!!!"
Sakura ran to Susanoo's feet, crying out.
"..." Sasuke looked down coldly: "Sakura, what's the point of saying this now?"
Sakura spread her arms: "If you continue to destroy the village, you'll have to step over my dead body first!!!"
Sasuke resolutely said: "Then I'll grant your wish!"
Susanoo raised its foot, ready to stomp on Sakura!
The black shadow loomed, and Sakura closed her eyes in despair: "Sasuke-kun is no longer the Sasuke I knew, and Naruto isn't the Naruto I remember. I've had enough, let it end here..."
Swish!
A figure flashed by, saving Sakura...
Boom...!!!
Susanoo's foot came crashing down...
Sakura opened her eyes: "Kakashi-sensei, why did you save me!!"
Kakashi said: "Don't do anything foolish, Sakura!"
Sakura despaired: "But I have no will to live anymore!"
Kakashi said: "Don't say such childish things. Look at your comrades!"
Sakura looked around.
Even the genin and chunin were shouting, throwing kunai with explosive tags, and using their meager jutsus against Susanoo!
Shikamaru, Neji, Hinata, Shino, Kiba, Tenten, Lee... even Ino, who once admired Sasuke.
Sakura's peers were all fighting in their own ways!
Even Choza and Choji Akimichi, father and son, used their clan's Butterfly Mode, transforming into towering giants to fight Susanoo to the death!
Sakura realized: Yes... what have I been doing? Until now, I've done nothing but cry. I relied too much on Naruto and forgot I'm a ninja.
Kakashi said: "Go, do what you must."
Sakura wiped her tears and stood up: "Yes, I, Sakura Haruno, am Tsunade-sama's disciple!"
Kakashi looked at the battlefield dominated by Perfect Susanoo.
"The Nine-Tails' rampage sixteen years ago was no different. Sasuke has truly mastered an incredible power..."
"This chakra giant has unparalleled defense and offense. Only a ninja like the First Hokage could withstand and destroy it. But now, the village has no such strong ninja..."
He looked up at the top, his eyes sharp: "But if it's just Sasuke's position, there might be a way..."
Boom...!
Choza Akimichi, in Butterfly Mode, was heavily struck, crashing through buildings. His bloody fist hit the ground: "Damn it, that thing can't be broken by human strength!!"
Kakashi said: "Choza, I have an idea. Please help me!"
Choza asked: "Are you serious, Kakashi? If you fail, you might not come back..."
Kakashi said: "But it's one of the few options we have!"
"I understand...!"
Choza grabbed Kakashi, gathering strength, and threw him towards Susanoo's top!
Karin shouted: "Sasuke! Four o'clock in the sky!!"
"..." Sasuke turned to look.
The wind roared, lightning crackled in his hand, and Kakashi Hatake soared through the air!
Sasuke sneered: "Kakashi, do you think you can use Chidori against this? How foolish. I thought you were smart, but I overestimated you..."
Sizzle!
Kakashi's left eye transformed into a Mangekyō!
As he flew closer, he focused on the forehead!
— Kamui!
Crack!!
A crack appeared on Susanoo's forehead...
"What!?" Sasuke was shocked.
And Kakashi's Chidori was already at point-blank range...
