Chapter 562 rallies the Kage for a direct strike against Madara and Mū. Tsunade and A gamble on risky transport techniques while a relay of teleportation moves reinforcements onto the battlefield for the climactic Kage assault.
Summary
Ōnoki resolves to confront Madara and Mū together, backed by what remains of the Fourth Division. Tsunade and A aim to reach Madara using Mabui's Heavenly Transfer Technique, a method so violent it normally tears living passengers apart, but Tsunade wagers on her Yin Seal: Release to survive it. Telepathically, Shikaku coordinates with Genma, having him, Raidō, and another Konoha shinobi use the Flying Thunder God Technique to relay Mei to the front after Chōjūrō cuts down Black Zetsu in a single stroke. The other three Kage converge and steel themselves against Madara and Mū.
