Allied Shinobi Forces Technique!!

Even with the Alliance's numbers swelling, Madara and Obito dismiss the effort as pointless, certain that history will simply loop back to the same crossroads no matter the outcome of this war. Naruto pushes back, arguing that when a group cannot agree, the majority ought to decide. Obito concedes the point in his own cold way, saying they will settle the question once the Alliance has been wiped out. Seizing the lull, Shikaku uses Inoichi's telepathic link to broadcast the full battle plan to every shinobi at once.

The Alliance sets its scheme in motion in stages. Kumo ninja open by blinding the enemy, with C and others firing lightning-based flashes while Darui and fellow Storm Release users kick up a choking cloud of dust. Suna shinobi then wield wind currents to churn that dust and smother their targets' vision, layering it over the lingering insect jamming and mist from earlier to cripple the foes' sensing entirely. Kitsuchi leads Iwa ninja in sinking the beast into a pit, where Kurotsuchi and other Lava Release users coat it in quicklime that Kiri shinobi mix with water. To finish, members of Konoha's Sarutobi clan bake the whole mixture solid with Fire Release.

Madara marvels that shinobi drawn from rival nations could execute so seamless a combination. Shikaku stresses that Madara and Obito must be brought down while the Ten-Tails stays bound, directing the Logistical Support and Medical Division to work with Naruto against Obito's weakness and sending every taijutsu specialist after Madara. As the massed forces close in, Obito remarks that they cling to a hope that was never real, noting the Ten-Tails has at last reached full maturity. The chapter runs in volume 64 within the Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax arc.
