some predictions.
Another Specialist Prediction
(Dark, masses of violet energy from both sides is slamming each other for dominance.)
Naruto: “C’mon, Kurama, don’t hold back on me now!”
Kyuubi: “We got 3 minutes, much more assertion and we’ll cut that time down even faster!” (The five Bijuu’s bomb is larger and is starting to overtake Naruto’s. From inside the protective chakra walls, Kakashi appears worried.)
Kakashi: “As powerful as Naruto is with the Kyuubi at his call, there’s still just so much chakra he’s up against in the 5 Bijuu.” (Meanwhile, the scene cuts to Tobi as the five Bijuu’s bomb is overwhelming Naruto.)
Tobi: “That’s it, just a bit-what do we have here?“ (Killer Bee in Hachibi mode rushes in by the Kyuubi mode and begins charging up a Bijuu ball to offset Naruto’s load.)
Killer Bee: “You’re my bud, can’t let ya taste the mud; at least not alone!”
Hachibi (in Killer Bee’s mind): “We’re on low too.”
Killer Bee (in his mind): “I don’t care, we’re gonna rip it up!”
Hachibi (in Killer Bee’s head): “Roger!” (Killer Bee lets out his Bijuu bomb and it helps even the playing field. Naruto and Killer Bee’s Bomb is now evenly matched with the five other Bijuu’s. Naruto comments on Killer Bee’s bravery.)
Naruto: “Thanks, man, you always have my back.”
Killer Bee: “Less messin’ around, more going to town!”
(Now, Kyuubi and the Hachibi have a few words to spare to each other.)
Hachibi: “Never in my wildest imaginations would I have believed a scenario such as this could occur.”
Kyuubi: “This doesn’t change anything between you and me, I just want to survive and outlive this bastard, Madara or whoever with a means to piss me off. And if I have to team up with this brat to do that, then I’d make the same choice time in and time out.”
Hachibi: “Always the opportunistic one, but you can’t deny-“
Kyuubi: “Naruto, we’ve only got less than 2 minutes!” (Naruto responds.)
Naruto: “I know, but I’m getting drained as well. Controlling the bomb takes a lot out of me.” (Killer Bee jumps into the conversation.)
Killer Bee: “I’m not as fresh as I once was, almost all out, cuz.”
(Killer Bee reverts to Version 2, he’s still firing off a Bijuu bomb, but it’s of a smaller scale. The 5 Bijuu are slightly gaining an edge again.)
Naruto: “No, no, no!” (The edge is growing, the Kyuubi appears overpowered, and it kneels on both of its hind legs.)
Kyuubi: “We have a little over a minute left. I can churn out more energy at the expense of seconds remaining. The Hachibi’s host will also have to exhaust all resources; we might be able to take them by surprise, but only for a short moment. From there, we’d need to tip them over the edge if we want to have any hopes surviving this encounter.”
Naruto: “Damn it, the risk is huge…”
Hachibi: “Exactly, if we blow out all of our chakra gaining the upper hand momentarily, but not having anything left in the tank to finish the job-”
Killer Bee: “We’d be done, son!”
(Kakashi and Gai wade their way to Naruto.)
Kakashi: “Do it. I have something planned.”
Naruto: “NOO, Kakashi sensei, it’s not safe outside!”
Kakashi: “Ninja have to be willing to make tough choices. A Hokage has to be willing to take even greater risks. Have faith in me, as I have faith in you.”
Naruto: “I see…” (Gai gives him the thumbs up. Kakashi gets on Gai’s back via piggy back ride. Gai, with sixth chakra gate open, breaks through Naruto’s chakra veil.)
Kyuubi: “Up for it, Naruto?”
Naruto: “Killer Bee, all or nothing, man!”
(All of a sudden, Naruto’s able to expand the width and force of the Bijuu bomb to the point that it is slightly over the other Bijuu’s energy. Killer Bee also thickens his chakra blast radius. The good guy’s energy is now greatly at advantage. The scene switches over to Tobi’s location.)
Tobi: “Fools, they’ll just tire themselves out, it’s not nearly enough to entirely engulf the power of five Bijuu. Wait a second, is that Kakashi and Gai, what could they possibly do?” (Kakashi and Gai spot the two energies colliding. The ground is shaking viciously, the air is twisting rapidly.)
Gai: “Hurry it up, this air stings!” (Kakashi’s sharingan goes Mangekyou.)
Kakashi: “Hush, need to concentrate… There!” (Some of the five Bijuu’s chakra bomb is being reduced via space time continuum manipulation. Tobi is beyond pissed.)
Tobi: “THAT PESKY HOUND!” (In an instant, Naruto and Killer Bee’s bomb overtakes the five others' bomb. Gai activates the 7th gate and uses it to rush to a safe direction with Kakashi on back, while the Bijuu are all engulfed within a seemingly black void eradication. On the outside, Killer Bee is in normal form, passed out, while Naruto is also in normal form, on both knees, dripping in sweat.)
Naruto: “I hope Kakashi and Gai sensei made it out ok… Huh, huh, huh, now, all I have to do is wait for my Senjutsu Clone!”
Next Time: The Bijuu toppled, but Tobi still lingers!

Naruto 572 - No choice.
The bijuu dama's collide
Hachibi: He..can he really do it?
Kakashi: It looks like he's overpowering the bijuu!
Tobi makes hand seals and Gedo Mazo comes out.
Gedo mazo releases the one tails and son
They both fire away their own bijuudama
Naruto:Guh!! Damnit
Kurama: Naruto don't over use the chakra yet
Naruto: I HAVE TO
The bijuudama erupts and causes everyone to be launched away.
Naruto is knocked out and the Hachibi was protecting Kakashi and Gai who then happens to transform back to base
Tob's bijuu are a mess and regenerating.
Kurama: Naruto! Get up! You used up all the 5 min of chakra you had with that one bijuudama!
Tobi: Hmm...even with that much power you still use it like a fool.
Tobi walks close to Naruto
Killerbee: Naru-to....get up.....urgh
Killerbee collapses
Killerbee: Sorry brother.....I guess..this..is it
Tobi is standing above Naruto who is knocked out
Tobi: Regardless of who you convert, whoever lends you power. They will always be killed and used for evil. You, are no different than him. He always said brother was more powerful because of his body.
Kurama: !? What..did he just mention?
Tobi grabs naruto's face
Tobi: Perfect jinchuriki or otherwise...you are merely just a boy...while I am... a god.
Tobi: !
Tobi looks in the distance and sees Kakashi
Kakashi is looking at Tobi with mangekyrou ready.
Tobi: So he knows....indeed you learn quickly Kakashi.
Kakashi: The moment I see you warping Naruto away, it;s over for you.
Tobi: Is that so?
All the bijuu are in their human forms and land near Kakashi
Kakashi: At this rate...I won't be able to warp Tobi away..but I can destroy these puppets...I'll have to wait for the exact time.
Tobi: Kill him.
All the jinchuriki charge at Kakashi
Kakashi: I'll warp my body away and everyone or thing around me...it's the least I can do for being a burden for you Naruto....Killerbee....Hokages....Obito..acknowled ge this.
Kakashi: Mangekyou Shari--
All the bijuu are suddenly knocked away by a fiery force.
Kakashi: What!?
Gai is standing in front of him in the 8th gate
Gai is shifting his form back and forwards so he looks like an after image.
Tobi: That's? The eighth gate..!
Kakashi: Gai! No! Why did you use that...you'll die now!
Gai: There's no other option...besides,..I wasn't goign to let you steal all the fun.
Gai looks back at Kakashi and gives him the thumbs up
Kakashi: Hmm...alright.
Kakashi: Altough...I never thought I'd die besides my biggest rival.
Gai: How about dying besides a friend.
Kakashi: Yea....*Kakashi's sharingan evolves* I can do that.
Gai/Kakashi: Let's Go!
The Masters make their last move.

572 - From Host to Host
Scene is Madara vs Kages:
The Kages are worn out and rather beat from their battle against Madara.
Raikage: *gasp* He truly is a Monster...
Madara: Is that all what the Kages of this Generation are capable of?
None of you can hold a candle to Shodai Hokage.
Mei: We can't give up here!
At the same time a huge explosion can be seen from their battlefield despite being miles away.
Kages: !!!
Madara: ....
Tsunade: What was that Power...Madara!?
Madara: It seems HE has found the Hachibi and Kyuubi.
Tsunade: Naruto!
Onoki: Here he comes again!Focus, Hokage!
Madara prepares an attack towards Tsunade still distracted by the Explosion.
Tsunade: !!!
Scene change:
Naruto finds himself in a weird space and reminds himself that it is like when he and Sasuke confronted each other at the Summit.
???: You are the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi.
Said a female voice.
Naruto: You are...
The other Jinchuuriki's are standing before him.
Fuu: It is too bad we meet under such circumstances...but we all have a wish we like to pass on to you.
Naruto: A wish?
Han: Exactly! *Metallic like voice*
Utakata: We are the same...Hosts of the Bijuu.
Naruto: ....
Yugito: But unlike you and Bee-sama we have fallen for that mans goal and now we are nothing but Puppets.
Fuu: We just got one wish.And that is to free us from his control.
Naruto's face obtains a big smile on his Face.
Naruto: Will do!
The Jinchuuriki look at Naruto with a determined expression on their faces.
Yagura: Before we go.
Naruto: huh?
Yagura: That man controlled me while I was alive.
Naruto: You're...
Yagura: Yondaime Mizukage.But I suppose People only remember me as the cause of the Bloody Mist...
Naruto: You!
Yagura: Truth is...I was controlled.By that Man.
Naruto: !!!
Yagura: This is personal to me.He made me destroy what I loved most, my Village,My Friends,My People.
Naruto: That Bastard!
Yagura: There is something I like you to know.
Naruto: What is that?
Yagura: While I was under his control I still managed to keep a fraction of my own consciousness.There is something important that I need to tell you about him.Possibly the key to defeat him.
Naruto: !!!
We see the Explosion starting to vanish and smoke appearing.
Naruto: Are you serious!?
Yagura: I wouldn't joke at a moment like this.
Naruto: W-What....
Jinchuurikis: !!!
Naruto: Huh?
Yagura: Our time is up, Naruto.
Utakata: Good luck...comrade.
Han lowers his Mouthpiece revealing the same nose as Onoki and Kitsuchi.
Han: My Brother the Tsuchikage would like you, Kiddo.
Yugito: Please watch over Bee-sama...
Fuu: Awwww! Goodbye, handsome.
Yagura: We are counting on you........
The Jinchuuriki vanish and Naruto smiles towards their fading spirits.
Back to battlefield:
Tobi: That was too clo---!!!
Naruto hits him with a devastating Punch straight onto the Mask.
Kakashi: Naruto!!
Guy: Clean hit Boy!!Just like I would!
Tobi: "Dammit! My Mask actually got a crack!!!"
Naruto: I will end this here, for those you killed!*An Image of the Jinchuuriki can be seen behind Naruto*
Tobi: Don't push your luck!!!

Naruto Chapter 572: The Fury of a God
An attack capable of ravaging every last life form on the planet. That is the Tailed Beast Bomb.
And now, two of them collide in unimaginable wrath. Naruto's version charging through the gate against the combined power of five lesser beasts. The explosion simply beyond all human comprehension...
Tobi: As I expected, he took the bait...an attack of this size will kill everyone here. Naruto, the power ultimately went to your head...begging for acceptance, you used your strength much too fast...
Seconds before destruction on the level of the divine.
Naruto: I won't let you do this, you bastard! Kurama, let's do it!
Tobi laughs calmly.
Tobi: Fire.
A brief moment of silence. Stillness. Then...
Annihilation. Like two obstinate forces meeting, the two chakra bombs fuse in a symphony of death. At last, the explosion occurs, and it engulfs the entirety of the visible landscape and then some.
No division fails to see it. No division fails to stop their own (seemingly) petty battles to witness this power. The blow roars across all the lands, and a powerful earthquake devastates all the battlefields the five divisions are fighting on.
General Shinobi Army: !!
It continues for seconds that seem like eternity before the attacks even begin to consider waning. Still they persist. Gradually, they die down. They have no mercy on the earth, and spare absolutely nothing. Indiscriminate.
But what follows that noise, that chaos...is a more terrifying, haunting silence.
No more trees, no more plants. The ultimate wasteland, representative of the combined power of the bijuu. And if the two sides had not died, they would indubitably experience lasting...
Wounds.
Naruto holds his side in a pain he can't understand, but looks and can't see anything. Just behind him, he sees his comrades, even more injured than he. Then he realizes...
Naruto: Kurama, what happened?! Wasn't our protection enough?!
Kurama: The power of a perfect jinchuuriki is something described only in the oldest of myths. Your partner Bee is one himself, but we're all fractions of something much greater, something more complete...
Naruto: !!
Kurama: Yes, that's right. We were all originally one mind, body, soul: the Ten-Tailed Beast. That moon you look up at every night...in the center of that gargantuan mass of rock is its body. A shell of its former self.
Naruto: ?!
Kurama: What is it now?
...
Tobi: If I had to say...it's to become "complete." Not that you would understand.
...
Naruto: Just something I remembered. It seems that...
Kakashi (strained): His power is amazing...I never imagined that...he could grow so much.
Kakashi (averting eye): Fourth...just how much faith did you have in him?
Gai: His power is amazing. But he needs to develop proper control over it. I'm proud of him, there's no doubt about that, but it's always collateral damage you have to deal with.
Kakashi (contemplative): Damage...
A memory running many years into the past. Kakashi sits next to someone, and looks up at the starry, moonless night. He looks at the person, and it is none other than his sensei, Minato Namikaze.
Kakashi: Sensei...there's something I want to ask you.
Minato: Go ahead, Kakashi. What is it?
Kakashi: Well, just before Obito died...he said something. I don't even know if I heard correctly, but what he told me was just so...strange.
Minato: ?
Kakashi: As a matter of fact, it was about you. I think he said...'tell Sensei...that I'll see him soon. The same way he'll live through his children, I will through mine.' It's odd because...he never had children. He was only 13, after all...
Minato (contemplative): Well, I think that he was talking about the future generations of Konoha. After all, each preceding generation can consider the succeeding their "children." Do you know that he had a younger brother, Shisui Uchiha? Is it not possible that he could live through him?
Kakashi: I suppose...but...why the mysterious wording?
Minato: People want to be remembered in death by some principle they stood for in life. In this case, it was Obito's desire to leave a mark on the history book of the world. And he has...
Minato points, smiling.
Kakashi also smiles.
Kakashi: Yeah...
Kakashi: Just what did you mean, Obito? You weren't a philosopher for your age...you had to have been referencing something tangible. Something real. Not just an idea.
Gai: Kakashi, what are you mumbling about over there? We have no time for special memories!
Kakashi: You're right.
Kakashi: Why, then, did I remember that moment of my life at this particular point in time?
Killer Bee: Mutha****a, you're a beast! Though we're all slightly hurt, that's no matter; on the bijuu we're about to feast!
Naruto's countenance shows anxiety. Worry.
Naruto: You guys, I'm sorry! I don't know what came over me...I should be more careful-
Kakashi: It wasn't your fault. Not countering that attack would have left us worse off...dead. You did everything perfectly.
Naruto's guilt is eased. But general panic in lieu of that remorse rises.
It is Tobi. He walks closer and closer to Naruto and company, but no tailed beasts can be seen before him. As a matter of fact, his six Edo Tensei are gone as well. As compensation for his hard work, Naruto's group sees that he has sustained some damage as well.
Tobi: They'll have an interval of relief in my prison.
The only that can be seen next to Tobi, however, is Gedo Mazo. He looks up at it, then back at Naruto.
Tobi: If you think about it, this battle is meaningless. Naruto, do you have any idea of the heights Sasuke is about to reach? What you did here is just a prelude to the true power of the Sharingan.
...
Itachi: ...in order to gain "true" power. The Eternal Mangekyou.
...
Naruto: Take me to him! I want to see him!
Tobi: Good things to those who wait, my dear friend. And while I must commend your recent performance, know that I'm far from done here. Actually, I'd wager the advantage is mine now. I count one minute left on your transformation, Uzumaki Naruto...what do you say?
Naruto: !!
Naruto: How the hell would he know that?!
Kurama: I...I don't understand...
Tobi: It looks like in the end, the Gold and Silver trash served an unbelievably useful purpose. Kabuto, you've simply handed everything on a silver platter, haven't you?
Tobi makes a hand sign, and Gedo Mazo's full body is revealed. At that precise moment, Naruto's Kyuubi Chakra Mode reverts back to stage one.
Tobi: Perfect...with the Kyuubi chakra of the brothers amplified, and inserted into Gedo Mazo, the statue is nigh unbeatable.
Kakashi: We're in trouble here...Naruto...how confident are you in your level one Kyuubi mode taking on that statue? I could prepare a Kamui in the meantime.
Naruto: I don't know...that thing looks like an absolute monster. And with the bijuu put back in there, it looks we'll be facing a statue combining the power of seven Tailed Beasts.
Gai: I can still use the Eighth Gate, Kakashi...there's time.
Tobi: Attack, Gedo Mazo.
Gedo Mazo stomps its foot on the ground, and a gigantic shockwave sends Naruto's company flying. Kurama provides a steady stream of chakra, but Gedo Mazo retaliates by firing several energy blasts.
They miss, and Killer Bee (even in his injured state) decides to fire off a depleting Tailed Beast Bomb. It is large, and gives the statue no room to escape. When it comes into contact with the statue, it merely passes through it.
Naruto/Killer Bee/Kakashi/Gai: The statue intangible...?!
Then they see Tobi touching its foot, and understand.
Gai: Apparently his power extends to turning other things insubstantial as well. This isn't good.
Gai listens to no advice, and prepares the Eighth Gate without a moment's notice. He is ready to die. However, as he channels chakra, he finds that he has none left.
Gai: How is this possible?! I still had some...
Tobi takes the initiative and explains.
Tobi: That shockwave wasn't your ordinary blow. It is one of the Rinnegan's unique abilities to be able to absorb all chakra-based attacks...well, that shockwave, Maito Gai, was a Hungry Ghost Realm blast. It's designed to rob you of any last vestiges of chakra.
Tobi: And with the chakra I've collected...I give you the ultimate jutsu of the Rinnegan. Rikudou Sennin's very finest...the fury of a God...
Tobi concentrates on the task at hand. Naruto and the rest sense a different aura permeating the battlefield, and know that the jutsu in question is going to be devastating.
To that end, he de-summons Gedo Mazo, no longer needing it.
Tobi: Chou Chibaku Tensei!!

Naruto Chapter 572: The Fury of a God
An attack capable of ravaging every last life form on the planet. That is the Tailed Beast Bomb.
And now, two of them collide in unimaginable wrath. Naruto's version charging through the gate against the combined power of five lesser beasts. The explosion simply beyond all human comprehension...
Tobi: As I expected, he took the bait...an attack of this size will kill everyone here. Naruto, the power ultimately went to your head...begging for acceptance, you used your strength much too fast...
Seconds before destruction on the level of the divine.
Naruto: I won't let you do this, you bastard! Kurama, let's do it!
Tobi laughs calmly.
Tobi: Fire.
A brief moment of silence. Stillness. Then...
Annihilation. Like two obstinate forces meeting, the two chakra bombs fuse in a symphony of death. At last, the explosion occurs, and it engulfs the entirety of the visible landscape and then some.
No division fails to see it. No division fails to stop their own (seemingly) petty battles to witness this power. The blow roars across all the lands, and a powerful earthquake devastates all the battlefields the five divisions are fighting on.
General Shinobi Army: !!
It continues for seconds that seem like eternity before the attacks even begin to consider waning. Still they persist. Gradually, they die down. They have no mercy on the earth, and spare absolutely nothing. Indiscriminate.
But what follows that noise, that chaos...is a more terrifying, haunting silence.
No more trees, no more plants. The ultimate wasteland, representative of the combined power of the bijuu. And if the two sides had not died, they would indubitably experience lasting...
Wounds.
Naruto holds his side in a pain he can't understand, but looks and can't see anything. Just behind him, he sees his comrades, even more injured than he. Then he realizes...
Naruto: Kurama, what happened?! Wasn't our protection enough?!
Kurama: The power of a perfect jinchuuriki is something described only in the oldest of myths. Your partner Bee is one himself, but we're all fractions of something much greater, something more complete...
Naruto: !!
Kurama: Yes, that's right. We were all originally one mind, body, soul: the Ten-Tailed Beast. That moon you look up at every night...in the center of that gargantuan mass of rock is its body. A shell of its former self.
Naruto: ?!
Kurama: What is it now?
...
Tobi: If I had to say...it's to become "complete." Not that you would understand.
...
Naruto: Just something I remembered. It seems that...
Kakashi (strained): His power is amazing...I never imagined that...he could grow so much.
Kakashi (averting eye): Fourth...just how much faith did you have in him?
Gai: His power is amazing. But he needs to develop proper control over it. I'm proud of him, there's no doubt about that, but it's always collateral damage you have to deal with.
Kakashi (contemplative): Damage...
A memory running many years into the past. Kakashi sits next to someone, and looks up at the starry, moonless night. He looks at the person, and it is none other than his sensei, Minato Namikaze.
Kakashi: Sensei...there's something I want to ask you.
Minato: Go ahead, Kakashi. What is it?
Kakashi: Well, just before Obito died...he said something. I don't even know if I heard correctly, but what he told me was just so...strange.
Minato: ?
Kakashi: As a matter of fact, it was about you. I think he said...'tell Sensei...that I'll see him soon. The same way he'll live through his children, I will through mine.' It's odd because...he never had children. He was only 13, after all...
Minato (contemplative): Well, I think that he was talking about the future generations of Konoha. After all, each preceding generation can consider the succeeding their "children." Do you know that he had a younger brother, Shisui Uchiha? Is it not possible that he could live through him?
Kakashi: I suppose...but...why the mysterious wording?
Minato: People want to be remembered in death by some principle they stood for in life. In this case, it was Obito's desire to leave a mark on the history book of the world. And he has...
Minato points, smiling.
Kakashi also smiles.
Kakashi: Yeah...
Kakashi: Just what did you mean, Obito? You weren't a philosopher for your age...you had to have been referencing something tangible. Something real. Not just an idea.
Gai: Kakashi, what are you mumbling about over there? We have no time for special memories!
Kakashi: You're right.
Kakashi: Why, then, did I remember that moment of my life at this particular point in time?
Killer Bee: Mutha****a, you're a beast! Though we're all slightly hurt, that's no matter; on the bijuu we're about to feast!
Naruto's countenance shows anxiety. Worry.
Naruto: You guys, I'm sorry! I don't know what came over me...I should be more careful-
Kakashi: It wasn't your fault. Not countering that attack would have left us worse off...dead. You did everything perfectly.
Naruto's guilt is eased. But general panic in lieu of that remorse rises.
It is Tobi. He walks closer and closer to Naruto and company, but no tailed beasts can be seen before him. As a matter of fact, his six Edo Tensei are gone as well. As compensation for his hard work, Naruto's group sees that he has sustained some damage as well.
Tobi: They'll have an interval of relief in my prison.
The only that can be seen next to Tobi, however, is Gedo Mazo. He looks up at it, then back at Naruto.
Tobi: If you think about it, this battle is meaningless. Naruto, do you have any idea of the heights Sasuke is about to reach? What you did here is just a prelude to the true power of the Sharingan.
...
Itachi: ...in order to gain "true" power. The Eternal Mangekyou.
...
Naruto: Take me to him! I want to see him!
Tobi: Good things to those who wait, my dear friend. And while I must commend your recent performance, know that I'm far from done here. Actually, I'd wager the advantage is mine now. I count one minute left on your transformation, Uzumaki Naruto...what do you say?
Naruto: !!
Naruto: How the hell would he know that?!
Kurama: I...I don't understand...
Tobi: It looks like in the end, the Gold and Silver trash served an unbelievably useful purpose. Kabuto, you've simply handed everything on a silver platter, haven't you?
Tobi makes a hand sign, and Gedo Mazo's full body is revealed. At that precise moment, Naruto's Kyuubi Chakra Mode reverts back to stage one.
Tobi: Perfect...with the Kyuubi chakra of the brothers amplified, and inserted into Gedo Mazo, the statue is nigh unbeatable.
Kakashi: We're in trouble here...Naruto...how confident are you in your level one Kyuubi mode taking on that statue? I could prepare a Kamui in the meantime.
Naruto: I don't know...that thing looks like an absolute monster. And with the bijuu put back in there, it looks we'll be facing a statue combining the power of seven Tailed Beasts.
Gai: I can still use the Eighth Gate, Kakashi...there's time.
Tobi: Attack, Gedo Mazo.
Gedo Mazo stomps its foot on the ground, and a gigantic shockwave sends Naruto's company flying. Kurama provides a steady stream of chakra, but Gedo Mazo retaliates by firing several energy blasts.
They miss, and Killer Bee (even in his injured state) decides to fire off a depleting Tailed Beast Bomb. It is large, and gives the statue no room to escape. When it comes into contact with the statue, it merely passes through it.
Naruto/Killer Bee/Kakashi/Gai: The statue intangible...?!
Then they see Tobi touching its foot, and understand.
Gai: Apparently his power extends to turning other things insubstantial as well. This isn't good.
Gai listens to no advice, and prepares the Eighth Gate without a moment's notice. He is ready to die. However, as he channels chakra, he finds that he has none left.
Gai: How is this possible?! I still had some...
Tobi takes the initiative and explains.
Tobi: That shockwave wasn't your ordinary blow. It is one of the Rinnegan's unique abilities to be able to absorb all chakra-based attacks...well, that shockwave, Maito Gai, was a Hungry Ghost Realm blast. It's designed to rob you of any last vestiges of chakra.
Tobi: And with the chakra I've collected...I give you the ultimate jutsu of the Rinnegan. Rikudou Sennin's very finest...the fury of a God...
Tobi concentrates on the task at hand. Naruto and the rest sense a different aura permeating the battlefield, and know that the jutsu in question is going to be devastating.
To that end, he de-summons Gedo Mazo, no longer needing it.
Tobi: Chou Chibaku Tensei!!
