When Lin Nan truly saw the Ten-Tails, he couldn't help but gasp in shock.
There were no other feelings, only one word: BIG!
Whether it was the Eight-Tails or the Nine-Tails, they were already colossal in front of humans.
However, in front of the Ten-Tails, they were like ants.
Let alone humans, they were just a bunch of fleas.
The Gedo Mazo's height was over a hundred meters, but definitely not exceeding two hundred; the Nine-Tails, including its tail, was a hundred meters long. The Ten-Tails, after absorbing the tailed beasts' chakra, had grown so much, it truly opened Lin Nan's eyes.
Roughly estimating, with those ten tails, it must be a thousand meters long, right?
A thousand meters, what does that even mean?
An Ultraman would be stomped to death by it.
In fact, Lin Nan had initially thought of using Susanoo to resist. Now, resist what?
It didn't feel like much in the anime, but being here in person…
This thing is truly massive!
With such a colossal war beast, would the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki even be necessary?
Lin Nan felt that confining the Ten-Tails within the Jinchuriki's body was actually limiting its power.
Who doesn't know that in the current ninja world, size equals power?
"Hahahaha!"
Standing on the head of the Ten-Tails, Obito laughed uproariously, an overwhelming arrogance radiating from him.
"This is the Ten-Tails, this is the power to destroy the world! Feel the despair!"
Immediately, Obito manipulated the Ten-Tails and launched an attack on the group.
The Ten-Tails was no longer the Gedo Mazo from before; it possessed self-awareness. Thus, even though it was being controlled, its agility and speed were extremely fast.
But unfortunately, humans were still too small for it.
Just like how humans can easily crush an insect, but find it difficult to catch one.
"Little Lin-kun, what should we do now?"
Kakashi asked Lin Nan, dodging the Ten-Tails' attacks.
What do you want me to ask? You're asking me, who am I supposed to ask?
Lin Nan grunted unhappily but didn't reply immediately.
Perhaps because of Lin Nan, their previous confrontation with Obito had been surprisingly easy, so they naturally expected Lin Nan to lead the way this time.
But the story had already gone off the rails, completely deviating from its original course.
According to the original plot, the battle was just heating up, and they would likely be dealing with the other tailed beasts.
However, Lin Nan had intervened, and those tailed beasts were incapacitated by Lin Nan in no time.
Furthermore, Obito, with his masked persona, had the ability to phase through objects, an extremely powerful technique. Lin Nan had nullified it in a few moves.
Because Lin Nan had learned Obito's sneaky trick and hid in the Kamui dimension, Obito dared not use his phasing ability anymore, forcing him to directly manifest the Ten-Tails from the Gedo Mazo.
This undoubtedly accelerated the entire plot.
With the accelerated pace, Naruto's Nine-Tails Mode was nipped in the bud.
Another point was that if Obito was pushed too hard, he might directly merge with the Ten-Tails to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, which would be problematic.
It seemed the Ten-Tails could only enter the Jinchuriki's body in its second phase, and the current Ten-Tails was only in its first phase.
Lin Nan didn't know what conditions were required for the Ten-Tails to advance from the first to the second phase, but it would at least take some time.
First and foremost, Obito had to be dealt with. Other matters could be postponed.
Lin Nan took the opportunity to glance at Naruto.
As for your overpowered Nine-Tails Mode, that's up to your own fortune.
It wasn't that useful anyway; later on, you'd still rely on the Six Paths Sage to grant you power, essentially a transitional phase…
Lin Nan consoled himself.
As for why he was consoling himself instead of Naruto,
Lin Nan could only say that he was too kind.
He had inexplicably messed up someone's cheat, and it was making him feel uneasy.
"Ding…"
Hearing the system's chime, Lin Nan felt that his own cheat had arrived in advance.
However, these cheats weren't very useful.
The Ten-Tails was no ordinary species. Ordinary ninjutsu had no effect on it. Even if Lin Nan talked until his tongue fell off, he couldn't inflict any substantial damage.
They had already reached the late-game stage of divine battles. Ordinary ninjutsu was becoming increasingly irrelevant, merely a waste of chakra.
No wonder Naruto, as the protagonist, only knew how to throw Rasengans and Wind Wheels, it was because other techniques were useless in the late game.
Truly worthy of Kishimoto.
Those who draw comics don't understand Naruto.
No wonder they say the ending was rushed; ninjutsu became useless, everyone was piloting mechs, and it was still called Naruto?
So in the late game, only a handful of skills were actually worth mentioning.
After much deliberation, Lin Nan made up his mind and shouted, "Obito cannot phase through attacks right now, so you can attack him appropriately. As for the Ten-Tails, I'll handle it!"
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
As Lin Nan was about to move away from the attack range to prepare his series of plans, Kakashi stopped him.
"What is it?" Lin Nan asked.
Kakashi said, "Little Lin-kun, Guy is still in the Kamui dimension. Will he be alright?"
"Guy… is he alright? You're overthinking it!"
Lin Nan left without looking back.
Earlier, to prevent Obito from phasing, and since Lin Nan couldn't stay in the dimension like a sneaky old fox all the time, he had sent Guy into the space specifically to pick up any dropped items.
Of course, this didn't mean Guy had no role in this battle, but currently, his role wasn't that significant.
His stage would only be fully set in the late game.
He would be left to his own devices for now, let him play whack-a-mole in the Kamui dimension!
Retreating to a distance slightly further from the Ten-Tails, Lin Nan's body began to be covered in curse marks.
The jutsu he was about to use required Sage Mode chakra.
The chakra in the curse mark state underwent a qualitative change, which was very similar to Sage Mode chakra; essentially, it was the same thing.
As two large wing-like appendages appeared behind Lin Nan, his appearance became extremely grotesque, and his chakra had undergone a massive transformation.
"Clap!"
He clapped his hands together and shouted, "Quick, retreat!"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi, the three others, and the Ten-Tails all retreated.
Obito, standing on the Ten-Tails' head, looked at Lin Nan in surprise, likely cursing in his mind what new trick Lin Nan was pulling.
"Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation!"
As Lin Nan shouted, everyone felt the air in the entire battlefield suddenly become viscous.
"Useless Little Lin, in the face of the Ten-Tails' immense body, what use is a single jutsu of yours?" Obito shouted, though his expression was not good.
From the beginning until now, Lin Nan's swift and decisive actions had given him too many surprises.
Suddenly, Obito felt the ground shake violently, and the colossal Ten-Tails beneath his feet began to slowly sink.
Obito looked closely and saw that the Ten-Tails was slowly sinking into the earth.
The ground, at that moment, seemed to turn into liquid.
"Boom!"
The massive mudflow, forming gigantic waves, began to engulf the Ten-Tails while also sweeping towards Obito.
Obito could not phase through at this moment, or rather, he dared not. He could only spit out a glob of phlegm in an attempt to block the mudslide.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Since Fire Style couldn't block it, Obito manipulated the Ten-Tails to protect himself, as the Ten-Tails was indeed enormous.
After sinking for quite some time, the mud had only submerged less than half of the Ten-Tails' body.
As long as Obito willed it, the Ten-Tails could basically break free.
"Hahahaha!" Obito laughed wildly, "Little Lin, are you ultimately powerless?"
With that, Obito unleashed a Tailed Beast Bomb directly at Lin Nan.
