Chapter 566: Burning Bright
As Killer Bee transforms into the Eight-Tails, Naruto wisely steps back, and Tobi stands on the top of a tree, with an indomitable focus.
Tobi: There can only be one reason why the Eight-Tails has taken control...he intends to destroy the forest, and negate the Rinnegan's shared vision...
Tobi: At this rate, the paths can't do it themselves...I'll have to absorb the blast myself. But...
Killer Bee: Mutha****a, we about to clear this forest! At the end of the day, we're going to leave the opponent sorest!
The Eight-Tails charges the Tailed Beast Bomb...
...Tobi orders the paths to move aside...
...And the compressed ball of chakra is sent directly towards him.
As the black ball of chakra heads in Tobi's direction, it razes the trees of the forest, and as Tobi activates Hungry Ghost Realm's absorption ability, he is encompassed by the attack.
A massive explosion ensues.
Naruto: Nice one, Bee! Now that this masked guy is out of the way, the Pain have lost part of their power! Now's our chance.
Naruto, very perceptive in the moment, notices one of the jinchuuriki, who happens to be Yugito. Without any hesitation, he charges at her with a Rasengan, but she anticipates the move, preparing to dodge.
Naruto: It's not that simple!!
Using the traits of his Kyuubi Chakra Mode, he suddenly artifcially extends his arm, and sends the Rasengan directly into her chest.
The chakra receiver cannot withstand the impact, and is shattered. In that moment, Yugito's eyes revert to normal, and suddenly she stands, staring aimlessly into space.
Naruto: Uncle Bee, I got one of them! Apparently, if we remove this masked guy's control, the ninja become lifeless!
Killer Bee: Awesome work, mutha****a! Take out the other ones! Man, we lookin' like two suns!
Naruto looks around the area for more enemies, and suddenly finds Roshi.
Naruto: Let's finish this now!!
Naruto repeats the same strategy, and just as he is about to defeat Roshi, he is sent back flying.
Yagura: Shinra Tensei!
Naruto winces in pain.
Naruto: That technique again...it's so bothersome!
Naruto joins Bee's side, hoping to get a view of the battlefield.
Naruto: Uncle Bee, what do you see?! Where's the masked one?!
Killer Bee: Mutha****a, I can't see him at all right now! Don't ask me why, don't ask me how!
The scene switches to a place several hundred feet away...there are still some trees in this area, and there stands Tobi, somewhat fatigued.
Tobi: That took a large amount of my strength...looks I won't be able to fight for the rest for the battle. In which case, I'll have to move on to the backup plan, even though I would have preferred to avoid it...
The scene switches to Edo Madara's battle against the Five Kage.
Madara: I've acquired a good understanding of the workings of Edo Tensei...with just a little more time, I should be able to break this.
Kabuto (past conversation): Though I am unsure if the fake Madara will act as planned.
Madara: Tobi...are you really going to do it?
The scene switches to Kabuto. He has a surprised look on his face.
Kabuto: Just as I thought...so that bastard Tobi really did make a move on the jinchuuriki after all. Looks like Yugito's been freed, somehow...
Kabuto licks his lips devilishly.
Kabuto: Naruto...you're making my work much, much easier.
Kabuto: And as for Madara-
Suddenly, a lone crow lands on Kabuto's shoulder. The crow does not look at him, merely staring forward.
Kabuto: !!
Unidentified: So it's you...what drove you to this, Yakushi Kabuto?
Kabuto: ...
The scene switches to Tobi and the Six Paths of Pain, and their fight against Naruto and Killer Bee.
Naruto: Uncle Bee, do you...feel that? This chakra...it's so evil...overwhelming!!
Bee: Yeah, motha****a, I sense something. Could this be...?!
Tobi reappears, and in front of him stand Yagura, Roshi, Han, Utakata, and Fuu.
Tobi: Eight-Tails, Nine-Tails...it's not often I crave the blood of my opponents. You two, however, are an exception, if there are any. Now...it's time for me to level the playing field. You have your tailed beasts...I have mine.
Tobi: How bright can your Will of Fire burn?
Tobi's eyes widen, and suddenly the Rikudou jinchuuriki grow dramatically in size, gradually becoming the bijuu they once housed. Tobi performs a hand seal, and chakra is shown escaping Gedo Mazo's mouth.
Yagura appears as the full Three-Tails; Roshi appears as the full Four-Tails; Han appears as the full Five-Tails; Utakata appears as the full Six-Tails; and Fuu, lastly, appears as the full Seven-Tails.
Tobi: You underestimate my fire. Burn, Eight-Tails, Nine-Tails!

ANOTHER PREDICTION
566: All up to Naruto
The hachibi towers over everyone as the hachibi swings its tenticles around to attack the other jinchuriki.
Hachibi/bee: "Im gonna bring this whole forest down on your heads!"
Madara suddenly appears on a branch standing right in front of the hachibi. The others appear on branches not too far away as naruto looks down from below.
Naruto thinking: "What are they....No!!"
Hachibi: "Im gonna destroy you all in one blast!"
Madara: "Shinra Tensei!"
Suddenly a huge blast of wind occurs that naruto just narrowly dodges by running just below madara. As the wind blast hits the hachibi he is sent crashing backwards as the forest itself is violently tossed asside by the attack. The hachibi screams in pain as the branches crash against it. As the forest settles after the blast, naruto looks over to see bee is unconscious in normal form with a pool of blood starting to form. Naruto looks up to see all the jinchuriki and madara looking down at him.
Madara: "He never had a chance but will you Naruto Uzimaki? You may have tricked nagato into giving up but you will not be able to do the same to me."
Naruto: "One way or another only one of us is leaving here alive."
Madara: "Than lets see how well you do when you have no one else to protect you."
Yugito charges towards naruto and naruto closes his eyes. Yugito prepares to attack him with her claws when suddenly Naruto vanishes and appears right in front of yugito. She quickly tries to slash but naruto grips the rod as she tries to slash him. Yugito retreats backward but the rod is ripped from her chest as she retreats in a splattering of blood. Yugito appears to be stunned thanks to the removal of the rod. Naruto appears behind her and stabs her in the back with the rod which gives off a red glow. Suddenly yugito screams in agony and naruto turns to face Madara as he moves away from yugito.
Madara: "Interesting. He removed the rod from her then flowed a leathel dose of kyubi chakra into the rod instantly as he stabbed her thus keeping most of the chakra with her without dispersing the effect to the others."
Yugito screams in agony and explodes as the kyubi chakra rips her body apart from the inside out. Naruto suddenly vanishes in a yellow flash as Madara looks on. The other jinchuriki all fan out as the search for naruto amongst the fallen trees. Bee slowly starts to groan as he barely opens an eye to see madara standing in the distance looking away from him.
Hachibi whispers: "Get up! Naruto's in danger."
Bee thinking: "No can do. I think those last few hits broke me legs."
Hachibi: "..."
Bee: "All we can do for now is sit and try to recover."
Bee looks on in the distance to see some explosions as Naruto fights the jinchuriki off in the distance.
NARUTO 567: The battle continues
567: The battle continues
Naruto is dodging fireball attacks as roshi chases after him hitting several of the fallen trees. The others chase after him as they just barely manage to keep up with him. As Naruto is dodging around, a fire slowly starts to break out amongst the fallen tree.
Naruto thinking: "Perfect. Just as I hoped."
As the blaze intensifies as several more fireballs fail to hit naruto who seems to easily dodge the attacks as he moves from one fallen tree to the next. The fire turns into an inferno as the whole forest area around them is rapidly catching on fire.
Naruto thinking: "I guess that will be enough."
Roshi suddenly appears in front of naruto and attacks him. Instantly naruto burst into flame and suddenly bursts in a puff of smoke. Roshi looks around and starts to move off in one direction while the others also seperate. Fu sees a naruto and charges towards him. Naruto turns and is instantly blinded by Fu. Roshi appears and attacks naruto. Suddenly they both hear a sound and look up in time to see a rasenshuriken flying towards them from naruto standing on a near by tree that is still standing. Roshi manages to dodge it but Fu is caught in the blast. Roshi charges forward and jumps up to attack naruto but as the smoke clears he finds naruto isnt there. Roshi looks around as he sees several shadows moving through the smoke. Roshi fires a volley of several fireballs in all directions trying to hit naruto. As he stops to breath after obvious exhaustion he suddenly hears something and turns around in time to hit a massive rasengan from naruto that lifts him off the ground and slams him into the fire. As naruto looks around he suddenly hears the sound of steam as the fire seems to be going out. He looks off in the distance to see Yagura putting out the flames. Naruto charges forward hidden in the smoke as he sneaks towards yagura.
As Killer Bee transforms into the Eight-Tails, Naruto wisely steps back, and Tobi stands on the top of a tree, with an indomitable focus.
