Naruto Chapter 594: The Progenitor
Naruto and the others notice the difference in the Mazou's movement ever since Tobi fed it the mysterious jar and bottle, prompting Kakashi to remember Tobi's comment about wanting to revive it in perfect form. Tobi announces that he has revived the ten-tailed beast, and declaring the beginning and end of their world, revealing that the Mazou is the vessel of the Ten Tails. Kakashi surmises that Tobi had planned to engage Naruto in order to gather his chakra to revive the Ten Tails. Ko remembers that they left one of his legs to make the Akatsuki think that Killer Bee died in the struggle. Kurama reminded Naruto about the presence of his chakra in the mysterious jar and asks to switch with Naruto so he can explain. Kurama uses Naruto to tell the others that Tobi already has his and Ko's chakra if he is able to revive the Ten Tails, telling them about the jar and bottle that used to belong to Rikudou. He tells them that the pot used to contain Kinaku, while the bottle contained Ginkaku. The brothers had fought with Kurama, who ate them, and they in turn ate some of his stomach and gained some of his chakra. Kurama tells them that since Tobi only used part of his and Ko's chakras, he doesn't know what form the Ten Tails would take. Kakashi announces that he wants to try something before it's too late, which prompts Tobi to say that he has a big mouth and that is the reason why he lives his life in regret. Kakashi and Gai are surprised at his comment, prompting Gai to ask who he really is, but Tobi doesn't reveal his true identity. Kurama tells Kakashi that they need to act before the Ten Tails is fully revived, which would mark the end of the world. Naruto asks Kurama what makes the Ten Tails so strong. Kurama replies that it has all of the nine tailed beasts' powers, which makes it the beginning of all chakra and a god who created countries, the progenitor of everything that exists in their world. Naruto comments that they might have a chance if the Ten Tails only has a portion of Kurama and Ko's chakra. Tobi tells them that he doesn't need the Ten Tails' form to be perfect and that he just needs the genjutsu Infinite Tsukuyomi, which will affect all of the humans in the world and making them share a single consciousness, no longer needing heroes because there will be no villains and wars. Naruto switches back to his body and tells Tobi that everyone looks up to heroes and that he had heroes that he had used as guides towards his goals, including becoming a Hokage who would surpass all those who preceeded him. He tells Tobi that that is his dream, which Naruto's companions all echo. Tobi replies that individuality only makes people blind to the truth. Naruto moves to attack the Mazou, but Tobi counters his attack, determined to not let anything get in the way of the revival of the Ten Tails.
Bleach Chapter 501: Here. Fear. Here.
Ichigo tries to use Getsuga Tenshou to destroy his cage to no avail. He notices that he can't connect to Urahara using his phone, further increasing his frustration. Byakuya is injured by the opponent, telling Renji not to join the battle until he has figured out how the enemy fights. Renji asks Byakuya to let him fight instead, but his captain replies that he does not think Renji can make the enemy reveal the extent of his abilities. Byakuya silently wonders why his arms and legs are experiencing a freezing sensation, and if the light thorns are actually poisoned. Nodt asks him if he has already noticed, pointing out correctly that Byakuya must have thought that the thorns were poisoned. Nodt tells Byakuya that the feeling is something that he had lost after gaining strength and had gotten used to overwhelming his opponents. Nodt names the feeling that Byakuya is experiencing as fear, commending Byakuya's resilience, considering how most shinigami that were struck with his thorns nearly went crazy with the fear they felt, revealing that his ability is to make the enemy fear everything and doubt themselves. Nodt points out that Byakuya's fear is directed at him, but Byakuya silently refutes his words, thinking that he always knew that fear existed every time he fought with his life on the line. He thinks to himself that he has never suppressed his fear, but have instead pounded it down to acquire the power needed to win. Suddenly, he has a vision of Rukia turning into a skeleton, and the momentary shock at the image gives Nodt a chance to strike him. Nodt explains that the fear Byakuya has fought with has always been with reason, and that it's true fear that can't be escaped. Byakuya wills himself out of his state of fearful shock and strikes at Nodt, but the Quincy manages to escape and brings out the disc containing Byakuya's bankai. A single petal floats down near Rukia and she wonders about her brother. Nodt is unharmed in front of Byakuya, who is battered from the attack.

Bermuda accompanies the team he dispatches to Reborn's team to talk to the Arcobaleno, asking if he wants to join his quest for revenge. Reborn refuses his offer again, and Tsuna and the others tell Bermuda and Jager that they will prevail and save the Arcobaleno. Bermuda steps aside to let Jager fight Reborn's team, with Jager looking down on them and calling them trash. The beginning of the battle is announced and Jager immediately moves among the members of Team Reborn, commenting at their slowness. He uses his chains to behead Gokudera and finds that it's only a puppet, much to the confusion of Bermuda who had sensed their flames. Jagers slashes at the Gokudera puppet body to reveal a mechanism that contains his flames. Reborn tells the enemies that they have realized that Bermuda had the ability to sense the flames of the participants, and with the combined efforts of Verde, Shoichi and Spanner, they were able to create decoy puppets. Bermuda asks Reborn if he has teamed up with the other enemy teams, but Reborn vaguely answers. The Vindice dispatched to deal with Team Mammon finds out the same truth as Bermuda and Jager, when he suddenly falls to the ground. A voice tells the Vindice that they will pick them off one by one, revealing Tsuna with Enma and Basil.
