Regrets

Summary
The five Kage see the Shinju while on their way, and Tsunade has Katsuyu explain it. Sai checks on Sakura, while Ino and Chōji tend to a drained Shikamaru. Sakura tries to heal him remotely, but Katsuyu tells her its clones also died due to having their chakra absorbed. Shikamaru thinks he'll meet up his father soon, and silently apologises to his mother. The shinobi grow exasperated as they're dying before even putting up a fight. Obito declares he won't kill those who stop fighting. Naruto cries in anger. Obito continues to lull the shinobi into accepting his words, but the Hashirama clone tells them if they give in, it's the same as dying. Hiruzen observes that the tree is an extension of Obito that absorbs chakra. An arriving Orochimaru, followed by Suigetsu and Karin, says the observation is pessimistic and unlike of Hiruzen. The Third asks about the Kage, and Orochimaru says they're on their way if they're not cowards. Suigetsu wonders if they can saw the Shinju, and Karin secretly lusts after Sasuke. Orochimaru notes Sasuke's unhappiness. Madara keeps fighting Hashirama, and reveals that even without the full chakra of the Eight and Nine-Tails, the Shinju should bloom in fifteen minutes, during which Madara plans to take over Obito's place using Hashirama's sage powers. The Hashirama clone uses Ino to relay the new information to the rest of the alliance, including the five Kage, who are now in her technique's range. The shinobi begin to lose hope as they hear Hashirama, pointing out that Hashirama is only reincarnated, and that they are still alive. A branch moves in to absorb more chakra, but it is cut by Sasuke's Susanoo. Sasuke asks Naruto if it's all he can do. Naruto once again enters Tailed Beast Mode and Sage Mode, and his feelings and memories are transmitted to the alliance through Ino's technique. Naruto wishes to have no regrets, wondering what could have happened if he stops, and joins Sasuke.
