Chapter 287 The Masked Man's Will! Without Strength, Nothing Can Be Protected!

Naruto shouted from the outside, and the Nine-Tails yelled at the other tailed beasts, "You think so too!"

"Naruto belongs to the old man..."

The five tailed beasts all responded to the Nine-Tails' words!

At this moment, Naruto canceled the Nine-Tails link mode and returned to his original form. He looked forward with Kakashi and Might Guy with a smile on his face.

Even Kanon, who was confronting the Eight-Tails, had a smile on her face. Although Naruto was a big obstacle to her, she was somewhat relieved to see him grow to this point.

"The brat who always needed to be taken care of has finally become the golden light that protects others."

"But...it's impossible for you to be the only one who will grow up." Hanane said lightly.

The masked man stood on the Outer Path Demon Statue and looked at Naruto. He was also a little surprised: "You can completely control the Nine-Tails, but it seems that it can't last for long."

"Then it will be the same as before."

Sure enough, five chains appeared from the mouth of the Outer Path Demon Statue, and then it swallowed all five tailed beasts into its mouth.

Naruto looked at the masked man, his lips slightly raised:

"How can it be the same as before?"

"Someone told me a lot of hard-to-remember names all at once!"

Seeing this, the masked man also looked at Naruto, Kakashi and others.

"In that case, I will do it myself."

As he spoke, the Outer Path Demon Statue behind him rushed forward towards Gai, Kakashi and Naruto.

The Eight-Tails was also rushing towards Naruto. Seeing this, Kanon did not chase after the Eight-Tails, but returned to the masked man.

"Look, what a beautiful sight." The masked man pointed to the heretic golem in the distance.

"I think it looks good but is not practical." Hanane said softly.

"Really? Then wait and see how powerful the Outer Path Golem is."

Just as the two were chatting and laughing quietly, the Outer Path Demon Statue had already captured all five Jinchūriki in its hands.

It was at this moment that white light began to emit from the Jinchūriki, which was a sign that the Impure World Reincarnation had been unlocked.

Kirabi and others also noticed this scene.

"Naruto, the Jinchuriki is about to disappear."

"It looks like Itachi succeeded." Kirabi said.

Naruto looked at the Outer Path Statue and then at the masked man opposite with a determined expression.

"We're going to have to deal with this for a while." Killer Bee said to Naruto.

"Stop talking nonsense, we have to fight quickly and decisively." Naruto said, thinking of Tsunade and others.

"Granny is fighting with the other Shadow Masters. We have to race against time! They will definitely win!"

When the masked man saw this, he whispered to Hanane who was standing beside him, "Has the Impure World Reincarnation been lifted?"

"Well, if there's no control, they'll just be a group of people working without putting in any effort. There's no need to keep them around." Hanane said calmly.

"That's right." The masked man nodded.

The Outer Path Demon Statue rushed towards Naruto, but Kakashi, who rushed in front first, used Raiden to cut the Outer Path Demon Statue's hand, while Kai on the other side kicked the Outer Path Demon Statue's toes.

The Outer Path Demon Statue staggered, and Naruto and the Eight-Tails swung a punch, directly knocking the Outer Path Demon Statue away.

The masked man and Kanon looked at the Outer Path Statue falling beside them without saying anything.

At this moment, Naruto was facing the masked man with golden light on his body: "You look very painful."

"What do you mean?" asked the masked man.

"Because you cover your face, I can think whatever I want."

"If you're not convinced, take off your mask and let me see how calm you are, idiot!" Naruto pointed at the masked man and mocked.

"Well said! Naruto!" Kai gave Naruto a thumbs up.

"Didn't I tell you not to provoke your opponents..." Kakashi said helplessly.

"There's no other choice, I'll do it?" Kanon took a step forward and looked at Naruto, Kakashi and others.

As soon as Kanon stepped out, the expressions of Gai, Kakashi, and even Naruto changed. If there was one person Naruto least wanted to fight in this battle, it would be Kanon.

Even though this is just a shadow clone, Naruto still has a complicated expression.

"No need." The masked man stretched out his hand to stop Hanane.

"Are you going to use that trick?" Hanane looked at the masked man in surprise.

"Well, there's nothing we can do. We have to take action!"

"Aren't you going to wait for my real body?" Hanane asked.

"There's no time." The masked man summoned six weapons, the amber bottle and the octopus horn.

"That's it!" Kakashi recognized it at the first sight.

"I was planning to revive it in its complete form..." the masked man said as the Outer Golem had already swallowed the octopus horn and the amber bottle.

"However, even if only a part of it is gone, its power will not be affected."

That's right, the masked man decided to revive the Ten-Tails immediately.

"It's too late. The promised time has come. The Ten-Tails has been resurrected, and the end of the world has begun!"

Countless rocks flew up from around the Outer Path Demon Statue. The masked man put his hands together, while Kanon crossed her arms across her chest, looking at Kakashi and others in front of her.

"I see. This means the golem is the body of the Ten-Tails."

"What is the Ten-Tails?!" Naruto was a little confused.

Kakashi fell into deep thought.

"What is going on here? If we follow what was said when the war was declared at the Five Kage Council, isn't this a war to seize the Nine-Tails' chakra needed to revive the Ten-Tails?"

"The recovery of the Eight-Tail and Nine-Tail has not been completed. Could it be a bluff?"

As if she noticed Kakashi's worry, Kanon answered this question.

"Didn't I say it? Even if there are only fragments, its power will not be affected? The octopus legs brought back by Uchiha Sasuke and the Nine-Tails Chakra in Jinyinjiao are enough."

Hearing Kanon's answer, Kakashi was shocked: "So that means we only need a part of the tailed beast?!"

Kyuubi also successfully deduced the deeper purpose of this war, and the doubts about why the masked man and Kanon appeared on the battlefield of the First Unit were also resolved.

The purpose is to recover the chakra of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

The masked man looked at Kakashi at this time, his expression somewhat gloomy:

"Kakashi, you said that so easily."

"A life full of regrets really suits you."

Kai looked at the masked man and said solemnly, "Who are you?"

"What's the point of telling you if you can't even remember someone's face!"

Hanane turned to look at the masked man and suddenly whispered four words.

"Obito, right?"

Her voice sounded just like when Lin had called him before, which stunned the masked man. The Lin in his eyes overlapped with Kanon's face at this moment.

"Lin..." The masked man's voice trembled a little.

"It really is this identity."

The masked man shook his head slightly: "Whatever you want to call me, I have no interest in this code name at all."

"We have to take action now, before the Ten-Tails is resurrected!" Nine-Tails said to everyone.

"Old man Liudao said that the day when the Ten-Tails is fully resurrected will be the day when the world ends."

Then the Nine-Tails explained to everyone what the Ten-Tails was. After listening to the Nine-Tails' explanation, everyone else was stunned.

"To be honest, I'm not strong enough to fight it alone."

"But the chakras of me and the Eight-Tails are already powerful, and now it only has a small part of it. Maybe it's worth a try." The Nine-Tails finally gave this answer.

"You are all wrong. For Kanon and me, there is no need for the Ten-Tails to be resurrected in its complete form!" said the masked man indifferently.

Naruto and the others looked at the masked man and Kanon beside him in surprise.

"My goal is nothing more than the Great Illusion, Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

"Let all humans on this planet fall into the same illusion and create a unified world for some individuals."

"A perfect world without war and grudges! Only in the single consciousness that abandons the individual can we find the truth of existence."

"This world no longer needs hope, future, or famous heroes!"

"Even if the Ten-Tails is resurrected in an incomplete form, I can perform Infinite Tsukuyomi, and then reality will end."

"All that remains is the only dream that is endless and never ends!"

Hearing this, Naruto and the Nine-Tails exchanged consciousness again.

Naruto looked at Kanon who was silent and the masked man who raised his hands, he said indifferently;

"I... have a dad, a mom, a lecherous immortal, and you, Kanon!"

"Children will look up to heroes, so I can charge forward without any confusion. I want to become a Hokage more powerful than any previous Hokage!"

"Kane, you understand, this is my dream!"

Listening to Naruto's words, Hanane said indifferently; "Who asked you?"

After Kanon said this, Naruto was speechless for a moment, but the others were already excited by what Naruto said.

“Although I don’t want my youth to end, there is always a day when dreams will end.”

"Yes, dreams are meant to be realized." Kai and Kakashi nodded.

Listening to Kakashi and the others' words, Hanane's expression gradually became gloomy as she said:

"You say dreams will end and dreams are meant to achieve something, but that's just wishful thinking."

"If you don't dare to resist those who are stronger than you, and if you can't become stronger, what's the point of dreaming..."

"In the end, I was just knocked down and knelt on the ground crying."

"Your so-called dreams are nothing but illusions. Without strength, you can't protect anything."

The masked man nodded: "Individuals will make the truth blurred, so only my words are the words that come from the truth of the world."

Naruto immediately entered the Nine-Tails Chakra mode and blasted towards the Outer Path Statue with the Rasengan.

But the next moment, another Rasengan came flying towards him. It was Kanon. Her Rasengan countered Naruto's Rasengan and blew him away.

Kanon jumped back and somersaulted onto the head of the Outer Path Golem.

"Kane! Let me pass!"

"Then kill me." Kanon drew out the Kusanagi sword and looked at Naruto coldly.

"And me." A masked man appeared beside Hanane.

"Let's break your mask first," Naruto said calmly.
