Chapter 401 Dual Divine Might, Activated!
In the audience, Naruto clenched his fists, his whole body trembling with anger.
He stared intently at everything happening on the screen, furious.
Thinking about how those guys from Iwagakure could come up with such a vicious plan, he couldn't help but roar, "Those guys from Iwagakure have gone too far! How could they come up with such a wicked plan!"
For Naruto, who cherishes his comrades and the village.
This act of using people as weapons to destroy homes is absolutely unforgivable.
Sakura, standing to the side, turned pale as she stared incredulously at Kakashi, the boy on the screen.
"Indeed... the methods were far too despicable!" she said, her voice trembling slightly.
Although Sasuke didn't speak, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Karin adjusted her glasses and analyzed in a low voice, "Using the rampage of the tailed beast within a Jinchuriki to attack the enemy's heartland... this is a self-destructive tactic that completely disregards the Jinchuriki's own life and has no bottom line!"
"Could Iwagakure really be this despicable?!"
Karin's words resonated with several young ninjas. Naruto and Sakura nodded angrily, their eyes burning with rage at Iwagakure's actions.
In their view, the plan did indeed sound exactly like the ruthless and unscrupulous style of Iwagakure in achieving their goals.
However, just as everyone was getting excited, Kakashi, who had been watching silently, slowly shook his head and said solemnly, "No... I'm afraid this wasn't Iwagakure's own idea."
Naruto was taken aback, his mind a little foggy: "Huh? Kakashi-sensei, why do you say that? Aren't those people Iwa ninja? How could it not be Iwa ninja's own plan?"
Kakashi did not answer Naruto's question immediately.
He glanced casually at Sasuke, who remained silent not far away, then looked at the screen, seemingly organizing his thoughts.
Sasuke noticed Kakashi's gaze, looked up and met his eyes for a moment, his eyes flashing slightly, but he quickly regained his previous calm expression.
In reality...
Kakashi spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse, as if he were lost in memories, his heart aching slightly.
"When Rin got into trouble, she was captured by the Hidden Mist ninja. When I finally found her, the Three-Tails had been forcibly implanted in her body. The Hidden Mist ninja gave her an equally insane order: to return to Konoha and release the tailed beast inside her in the village."
Kakashi paused here, letting the younger generation digest this information.
Naruto's eyes widened in shock, and he was speechless for a long time. Sakura and Karin were also stunned.
They had heard about Lin's tragedy before, but this was the first time they had heard such specific details.
"Don't you guys think... it's too similar?" Kakashi continued, "Both were ninjas from Minato's team who were captured, and both had the Three-Tails implanted in their bodies... The only difference is that the person used as a vessel changed from Rin to me, and the village that attacked changed from Kirigakure to Iwagakure. Other than that, they are exactly the same."
"Iwagakure may have its own plans, but in this dream, the same vicious plan as Kirigakure from many years ago has reappeared. It is likely that the Iwagakure ninja in the dream, as well as the Kirigakure ninja in reality back then, were all manipulated and used by someone behind the scenes."
"Manipulated and used?!" Naruto gasped in disbelief, "Who is the mastermind behind this? Who could simultaneously control the ninjas of Kirigakure and Iwagakure to execute such similar and cruel plans?!"
This question weighed heavily on everyone's mind, and for a moment, the audience fell into a frozen silence.
Several pairs of eyes stared wide-eyed at Kakashi, then exchanged glances, each seeing bewilderment and shock in the other's eyes.
Sasuke remained silent, but his slowly clenched fists and slightly furrowed brows revealed the extreme turmoil in his heart.
Who exactly has the ability and means to manipulate the actions of the five great ninja villages at will?
Everyone felt a chill run down their spine and their hearts pounded.
The unknown conspiracy lurking behind this sends chills down everyone's spine.
……
Meanwhile, on the battlefield shown on the screen, Obito's murderous shouts from earlier still echoed in the open space.
He exuded a chilling killing intent.
However, although the crazed Iwagakure ninjas were intimidated by this aura, they did not retreat an inch.
Just then, a dark figure quietly circled around to Obito's back.
The Iwa ninja's face contorted in a ferocious grin as he thrust his gleaming kunai toward Obito's back!
However, Obito seemed completely unaware of this sudden and deadly sneak attack.
He simply let out a disdainful snort.
The next moment, something unexpected happened!
Several thick, long branches shot out instantly from the area covered by the white substance on his right shoulder.
These branches, like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, shot out with a piercing whooshing sound, leaving trails of afterimages in the air.
puff!
Immediately afterwards, the dull thud of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out one after another.
The Iwa ninja who ambushed Obito only had time to widen his eyes before his madness and determination froze into an expression of disbelief.
He looked down blankly at his chest, where several sharp wooden branches pierced through his body from behind, like spears that had pinned him to the air.
Bright red, warm blood was flowing down the branches and dripping onto the ground.
The ninja opened his mouth, wanting to scream, but only a gurgling sound came from his throat, and he could no longer utter a complete word.
The excruciating pain and terror instantly engulfed him. He struggled desperately, only to find in despair that the branches not only pierced his body but also seemed to possess some kind of strange suction force, firmly binding his limbs, and the flow of chakra came to an abrupt halt.
In just a moment, the Iwa ninja's pupils became dilated, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
As soon as the branch loosened, he felt as if his bones had been removed, and he slumped to the ground, never to rise again.
Obito expressionlessly retracted the wooden branch that had extended from his shoulder, the blood-soaked branch disappearing back into the part of his body covered in white substance with a whoosh.
He then turned around slowly and leisurely.
The Iwagakure ninjas, who were originally excited and ready to swarm forward, suddenly cooled down as if they had been doused with a bucket of ice water.
They were instantly killed; how could they possibly fight back?
Several Iwa ninjas charging ahead suddenly halted their advance, and the others were also shocked, their eyes instantly filled with boundless fear.
For a moment, the forest became eerily quiet.
A dozen or so Iwa ninja stared wide-eyed at the young figure opposite them, whose body was half covered by a strange white substance.
At this moment, Obito's right half of his body was covered by a white shell resembling that of an unknown creature.
He stood silently amidst a pool of blood and corpses.
No one dared to take another step forward.
Some Iwa ninja even couldn't help but take a half step back, their backs slamming into their companions behind them, startling them.
Obito slowly looked around.
His gaze was cold and calm as he swept over each of his enemies, devoid of any emotion.
How many people?
It meant nothing to him.
He moved his neck and shoulders slightly, making a few soft cracking sounds.
As his tense muscles relaxed slightly, Obito felt a warm, moist, and vibrant current instantly coursing through his entire body.
The warmth emanated continuously from the white substance on the right side of his body.
It was Tobi who was continuously supplying him with pure Yang Release chakra.
A surge of energy coursed through his body, making him feel warm and comfortable, and his strength returned to its peak.
"This feeling..." Obito closed his eyes comfortably, savoring the powerful energy surging within him.
The Obito of the past, who would get dizzy after using his Mangekyou Sharingan even once, is gone forever.
Tobi's existence allows him to squander the Sharingan's power without restraint, no longer needing to worry about the strain on his body.
The familiar feeling is back, it's all back!
A long-lost sense of pride and confidence welled up in Obito's chest. Now, he had every right to look down on everything!
He opened his eyes, his gaze burning with fierce fighting spirit.
In the heat of the moment, he used his divine power to instantly transfer the tip of the kunai from Rin's hand. At that instant, he keenly realized that his own divine power could also be activated in his left eye without any delay or abnormality.
You should know that ever since he was trapped in this strange dream, he has been unable to activate the power of his left eye due to a shortage of chakra.
However, at this moment, with Tobi's support, his chakra was incredibly abundant, and just a moment ago, he actually managed to use his left eye's eye technique.
Moreover, judging from the effect, the Kamui activated by the left eye is extremely similar to the ability Kakashi has shown in reality, which involves long-distance spatial distortion and teleportation.
A bold idea suddenly popped into Obito's mind.
Since he awakened the Kaleidoscope, he has never attempted to activate Kamui with both eyes simultaneously.
What would happen if the power of the left and right eyes were combined?
Once the idea appeared, it burned brighter and brighter in his mind.
The thirst for power, the desire to kill the enemy, and the impulse to test one's own limits at this moment intertwined into an uncontrollable urge.
Obito's lips slowly curled up. He no longer hesitated; now was the time.
He wanted to show these people what despair truly meant.
Obito took a deep breath, and the immense chakra within him surged and roared through his meridians.
He suddenly opened his eyes!
Left eye, right eye, both scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan started spinning wildly at the same time.
The magatama shaped like a shoji sword in his pupils spun rapidly, like two blooming crimson spider lilies.
In the next instant, an invisible power of vision poured out from him, causing the surrounding air to vibrate and hum!
"Feel it..." Obito muttered to himself, "The true power of these eyes!"
Before he finished speaking, the blood-red light in his eyes suddenly intensified.
Dual Divine Might, activated simultaneously!
A terrifying spatial fluctuation erupted from the earthen body!
Centered on the area he could see, the surrounding space seemed to be violently kneaded and distorted by a pair of invisible giant hands.
Immediately afterwards, with a muffled hum, a huge, twisted black sphere appeared out of thin air in the open space in front of Obito's gaze!
The sphere was over three meters in diameter, with blurred and distorted edges. Its interior seemed to be filled with wildly spinning black turbulence, and the air around it was screeching as it passed through.
The entire space shook violently at that moment, as if the heavens and earth had lost their balance.
"W-What is this?!" A nearby Iwa ninja's pupils constricted sharply, and he couldn't help but cry out in terror.
He clearly felt an irresistible, enormous suction force emanating from that strange, twisted sphere, causing him to involuntarily tilt towards it.
He was terrified and turned to run away, but his legs felt as heavy as if they were sinking into mud, and every step was incredibly difficult. His body seemed to be firmly pulled by that distorted space.
Obito's gaze slowly moved.
Wherever his gaze pointed, the enormous, terrifying, twisted sphere seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, moving horizontally in sync.
Like the eyes of death locking onto its prey, it will always watch and follow the prey no matter where it flees.
The sphere slowly swept across the ground.
Wherever it passed, whether it was towering trees, hard soil and rocks, or Iwa ninja desperately waving their weapons in resistance, as long as it was slightly grazed by that twisted black edge, it would lose its balance like a withered leaf falling into a whirlpool, and be instantly drawn into the center of the sphere by an unparalleled huge suction force.
Before they could even scream, the people and objects that were swept up disappeared into the dark vortex with a whoosh.
In the blink of an eye, it turns into the finest powder.
"No!" Awa ninja finally couldn't hold back any longer and let out a desperate wail, "Get out of the way!!"
The instinct for survival completely overwhelmed any thoughts of violence and aggression. The remaining enemies could no longer maintain their composure and screamed in unison, as if in collapse.
They all desperately used their respective methods.
Some people rapidly formed hand seals, desperately using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique in Chinese fantasy novels) to burrow underground.
Some did not hesitate to use the Instantaneous Movement Technique, turning into afterimages and retreating dozens of meters out of the forest.
Others hastily formed hand seals to erect thick earthen walls in front of them, attempting a last-ditch effort to block the terrifying black sphere.
however--
No matter how fast they are, how can they possibly outrun the Mangekyou Sharingan's terrifying dynamic vision and spatial locking ability?!
Obito's gaze was like the scythe of death, mercilessly scanning each fleeing enemy figure.
The enormous, twisted black sphere, like a persistent, lingering ailment, followed relentlessly.
The Iwa ninja, who was trying to escape by burrowing underground, had just buried his upper body in the soil when, in the next instant, his calves and the surrounding soil were silently swallowed up and wiped away by the black ball.
Before a single drop of blood could even spill, the person was severed in two.
The other Iwa ninja, who had flashed dozens of meters in an instant, had just solidified his figure when a twisted, approaching blackness appeared in his pupils. Before he could even let out a scream, his entire body, along with the space within several feet, was crushed to ashes by the black sphere that arrived first.
As for the Iwa ninja who tried to withstand the attack by relying on the earthen wall, with a crack, the thick rock wall crumbled instantly like paper in front of the twisted sphere, and he himself was also shredded into dust by the violent spatial force, annihilating both himself and the wall.
Crush them!
A complete and utter crushing defeat!
This is no longer a battle, but a one-sided massacre.
In just a few seconds, the once-aggressive Jonin from Iwagakure vanished like withered leaves caught in a tornado, all disappearing before this devastating power.
The wildly spinning black sphere slowly came to a stop, and then gradually dissipated into the air.
Silence returned to the surroundings, leaving only the ravines riddled with holes and the devastated earth.
Where the Iwa ninja had previously stood, only deep trenches remained.
The woodland, which was bustling with people just moments before, is now deserted; not a single living person can be seen.
The night wind swept by, stirring up dust and debris, emitting a low, mournful sound, bringing a deathly silence.
Obito slowly closed his eyes, feeling a burning and stinging sensation. Forcing himself to activate both eyes' power simultaneously was not without its burdens.
However, in just a moment, a cool and mellow Yang Release chakra continuously flowed into his eyes, quickly soothing the stinging pain.
It was Tobi who came to the rescue in time; Obito could feel that this guy was doing his best to help him repair the discomfort in his eyes.
He slowly exhaled the stale air from his chest, and when he opened his eyes, the scarlet kaleidoscope light had dimmed, returning to his pitch-black pupils.
"What terrifying power..." Obito sighed inwardly.
Even he himself couldn't help but feel shocked when he recalled the scene of the two gods unleashing their full power.
In a short time, he easily turned those vicious Iwa ninja into nothingness, as if eliminating a few troublesome ants.
The power was so terrifying that it even exceeded his own expectations.
A bold and arrogant idea quietly surfaced in his mind.
Such a move, even that old thief Madara Uchiha might not be able to withstand, right?
As he thought of this, an irrepressible excitement and fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.
Yes, if Madara were standing right in front of me right now...
Obito even felt his blood start to boil again, and he couldn't wait to find that man and try it out.
"Obito..." Just as Obito's mind was racing and he was almost lost in thought, a faint and trembling voice drifted into his ears, pulling him back from that dangerous thought.
Obito was slightly taken aback, but quickly came to his senses and looked in the direction of the sound.
Not far away, Kakashi and Rin stood supporting each other beside a broken tree trunk.
Their faces were ashen, clearly still reeling from their harrowing escape from death.
Rin leaned against Kakashi, supporting him with concern. The aftermath of the fierce battle had left their clothes torn in many places, stained with mud and blood, making them look somewhat disheveled.
At this moment, both of them were looking at Obito with extremely complicated expressions.
There was shock, lingering fear, and a deep sense of unfamiliarity and terror in his eyes.
What I just witnessed was truly horrifying.
Obito wiped out an entire Iwagakure squad from the world in just a few breaths by himself.
The ruthlessness and terrifying power of this method far exceeded their understanding of Obito Uchiha.
Rin's body was still trembling slightly as she tightly gripped Kakashi's sleeve.
She stared blankly at the cold-blooded young man in front of her, whose upper body was covered in white, and a chill ran through her heart.
Is this really Obito?
Is the person in front of me really the same Obito who used to be carefree, a little clumsy, but also passionate and kind?
When did that underdog who used to need protection during missions become so powerful, and so strange and terrifying?
Lin suppressed her fear and tried to move her lips, but no sound came out.
Kakashi's heart was also in turmoil, unable to find peace.
He helped Rin to her feet, his gaze towards Obito filled with disbelief and wariness.
His father had told him about the terrifying legend of the Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan, a power said to be able to distort even the heavens and earth.
Seeing it today, I can see that it truly lives up to its reputation.
Kakashi stared at Obito's face, which was still half covered by a strange white substance.
The white shell blended seamlessly with the boy's body, and coupled with the various incredible abilities he had previously displayed, Obito exuded an eerie aura that defied common sense.
Especially his eyes... Kakashi stared at Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan, whose crimson light had just subsided.
The person in front of me is completely different from the companion I remember who was always a step behind.
Is this still Obito?
Kakashi felt the same questions and unease as Rin.
The fear of power is one aspect, but what is even more concerning is the incomprehensible upheaval that has occurred among our companions.
Meanwhile, Tobi, the White Zetsu closely connected to Obito, was also filled with confusion and doubt deep in his mind.
"Kakashi didn't die... Does that mean the mission was a success?"
He muttered to himself, feeling that something was amiss.
According to that person's script, the original plan was for Rin to kill Kakashi with her own hands, thereby stimulating Obito to fully awaken his eye power and agree with the Eye of the Moon plan.
But now?
Kakashi is alive and well, and Rin is safe and sound, but the entire group of Iwa ninja has been wiped out...
The plot has completely gone off track!
Abi became increasingly confused: "But Obito did awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and it seems to be a complete pair of eyes, with ridiculously strong power. And it seems Obito has become much more ruthless and decisive than before..."
Thinking about this, Afei muttered to himself, "In that case... it should count as a success, right?"
Despite trying to comfort himself, the subtle sense of unease in his heart still wouldn't dissipate.
He had a very strange feeling during the battle.
Obito's skill in using his power is terrifyingly high!
From the very beginning of the battle, Obito controlled Tobi, who was parasitizing him, with effortless skill.
He used the White Zetsu's physical strength, regenerative abilities, and the support of Yang Release chakra perfectly.
It's as if Obito already knew what Tobi could do and understood very well how to maximize his role!
This feeling of being completely controlled made Afei feel inexplicably strange.
He was puzzled.
"Could awakening the Kaleidoscope Sharingan also cause a leap in a person's consciousness and combat experience? Otherwise, how could Obito suddenly become such a different person, ridiculously powerful..."
Ah Fei was filled with doubts but couldn't find a reasonable explanation, so he could only suppress this strange feeling in his heart for the time being.
Obito took in the complex fear and unease in Kakashi and Rin's eyes.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, but quickly his face showed an indifferent expression.
To be honest, he felt not only no displeasure, but also a sense of triumphant satisfaction.
After so many years, the resentment he had been holding in was finally swept away today.
Obito slowly raised his chin, a fleeting look of smugness flashing in his eyes.
see it?
Kakashi, Rin!
This is who I am now!
He shouted these words aloud in his heart, filled with boundless pride.
Holding power you can't even imagine, that's the real Uchiha Obito!
Indeed, he turned the tide, he controlled life and death, and he crushed all threats with absolute power.
Today, he finally got to show his true colors in front of Rin and Kakashi, turning back all his previous setbacks.
Looking back, he was always the one who dragged everyone down, always being ridiculed and criticized by Kakashi, leaving him frustrated and helpless.
However, the situation has now completely reversed, and Obito is filled with an unprecedented sense of joy and exhilaration.
Hmph, now Kakashi won't have the face to brag in front of him anymore, will he?!
Thinking of this, Obito coughed lightly: "How's it going, Kakashi?"
"Are you still worried now?" Obito slowly took two steps forward, puffed out his chest, and smiled. "With me here, no one can hurt you! I mean what I say!"
These words lacked the terrifying murderous intent of the previous battle; instead, they carried a familiar and nostalgic quality.
The familiar tone and catchphrase stunned Kakashi and Rin, who were still in shock.
The two of them stared intently at Obito, as if trying to discern the truth hidden beneath the unfamiliar exterior of the person in front of them.
A moment later, they subconsciously glanced at each other, both seeing a hint of surprise and realization in each other's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, most of the intense fear that had been gripping my heart dissipated.
Kakashi stared blankly at Obito's familiar, self-satisfied expression, feeling both annoyed and amused.
His tense lips twitched slightly, and his usually listless, dead-fish eyes slowly regained some of their former sparkle.
Although he was still somewhat exhausted and weak, the sense of alienation and unfamiliarity he felt had quickly subsided.
Lin let out a long breath and felt her whole body relax. Only then did she realize that her palms, which had been clenched into fists, were covered in cold sweat.
Looking at Obito not far away, he was smugly raising his head, looking like he wanted to be praised.
He couldn't help but show a mixture of exasperation and amusement, a feeling of absurdity yet helplessness spreading through his heart.
This tastes right, just right.
It really is Obito, no doubt about it.
