Becoming the Tsuchikage in the Naruto World

Chapter 263: Kamui

Black Zetsu was originally guiding Obito in training Yin Release. After hearing the conversation among the numerous White Zetsu clones, he immediately shouted, "Shut up! Hurry up and see what Ishiro is doing!"

Black Zetsu was indeed anxious. Madara Uchiha's body was still up there. If Ishiro dared to touch Madara's body, then Black Zetsu felt he must personally take action. He didn't care even if he had to expose his own strength in front of Obito; at most, he would just tell Obito that this was the power Madara had given him.

Anyway, Madara Uchiha was dead. The next time he was revived would be the time he himself made a move against Madara; there was nothing to worry about.

Black Zetsu merged with White Zetsu, and together they flew quickly towards the surface. Meanwhile, Obito directly activated Kamui.

"Light Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu."

When Obito, Black and White Zetsu, and numerous White Zetsu clones arrived in the hall, they happened to see a dazzling white light flash. One of the White Zetsu clones was the most unlucky; his position was right near the Gedo Statue, and by a stroke of bad luck, he was standing right in the path of Ishiro's Light Release attack.

This White Zetsu clone was directly vaporized by the Light Release without being able to utter a single word. Along with him, a small part of the Ten-Tails... was also vaporized.

A small tentacle of the Ten-Tails was severed by Ishiro using his Kekkei Tōta. Then, before the others could react, Ishiro flashed over and directly collected the piece of the Ten-Tails that had fallen to the ground.

After completing all this, Ishiro slowly turned to face Obito Uchiha.

At this time, Obito was still wearing the previous White Zetsu clone, with a spiral mask on his face that only had a hole for his right eye.

To Obito's side was Black Zetsu and half a White Zetsu clone. The Black Zetsu of the yin-yang face first cast his gaze towards Madara. Seeing no change to Madara's body, he breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he, along with the others, begin to size up Ishiro.

At this time, Ishiro was once again dressed as a Konoha Anbu. Although Ishiro knew he would be recognized by White Zetsu as soon as he used chakra, he still didn't want to take off his mask.

For no other reason than that his face was currently covered with the sage markings of Sage Mode, and Sage Jutsu was one of his trump cards; he didn't want to expose himself so quickly.

"Ishiro?"

Although Ishiro was standing with his two clones at this time, due to his position when casting Light Release just now, Obito Uchiha still easily distinguished Ishiro's main body. Facing Ishiro's main body, Obito softly uttered his name; he had heard it before.

Ishiro was considered a contemporary of Obito's teacher, Minato Namikaze. He had heard no small number of Ishiro's deeds from Minato's mouth.

It was just that at that time, Ishiro in his heart was on the same level as his teacher, a great figure not to be provoked. But now, Obito, having just awakened his Mangekyō, expressed that in this wide world, there was no one worthy of his serious attention.

Thus, after a soft murmur, Obito, without any extra nonsense, rushed directly towards Ishiro.

At this time, Ishiro had not dispelled his Light/Heavy Rock Jutsu. Seeing this, he took out a longsword and also charged towards Obito at an extremely fast speed.

Ishiro wasn't very confident in his own taijutsu, but if the opponent was Obito, Ishiro expressed: "No panic."

Without Kamui, Ishiro felt he could still completely defeat Obito with taijutsu.

As expected, the moment before the two made contact, Ishiro's blade sliced into Obito. Of course, this was also because Obito had no intention of dodging.

Without any surprise, the longsword passed through Obito's body as if waving through the air, without any sensation of hitting a target.

The longsword was very fast, only staying in Obito's body for an instant before leaving. And after the sword left, Obito's originally phased body immediately became tangible. At the same time, a wooden spike suddenly appeared in his previously empty hand.

Ishiro was not surprised at all. The longsword that had just left Obito's body incredibly reversed its direction and stabbed into Obito's body once again.

Obito was shocked. Impossible! It was as if Ishiro had guessed his ability and made the perfect counter. But he didn't dodge immediately. He had the First Hokage's cells; he wasn't afraid of trading injury for injury. Gritting his teeth, with a cold look in his eyes, Obito accelerated the thrust of the wooden spike in his hand.

But just then, Ishiro's body shifted a distance towards the Gedo Statue at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, the longsword that was originally in Obito's body swung horizontally again, nearly cutting him in half.

"Impossible! That's Bansho Ten'in!" Black Zetsu roared in his heart. He didn't understand how Ishiro could have the Rinnegan's ability. Black Zetsu cast his gaze towards Ishiro's mask. The two eyes behind the mask were perfectly normal; not Byakugan, not Sharingan, and certainly not Rinnegan.

What was going on?

Black Zetsu was not mistaken. The moment Ishiro and Obito crossed paths, it was too late for him to dodge Obito's attack on his own. But Ishiro had a trump card. This move was precisely using the principles of Bansho Ten'in to exert a gravitational force, using the reactive force to shift himself. Ishiro had used this move in Kirigakure when facing Orochimaru's sneak attack. Now, using it against Obito, the effect was excellent.

And even more shocked than Black Zetsu was Obito. Obito, who had originally wanted to use his body's phasing for a sneak attack, was directly countered by Ishiro's own scheme. If he hadn't seen the situation was bad and phased his body again, Obito would probably have been cut in two by now.

Because he had missed the opportunity to attack Ishiro by phasing again, Obito and Ishiro passed each other.

"White Zetsu!" Obito shouted while turning around.

Hearing Obito's call, the White Zetsu clone attached to him immediately began to repair his body.

However, this repair also required time. For a short while, Obito's combat power was greatly reduced.

"You know my ability? You were also in the vicinity then. You watched Rin get killed by the Mist ninjas, didn't you?"

Although injured, Obito still grasped the key point of the problem, immediately judging that Ishiro had intelligence on him, and quickly concluded that Ishiro must have witnessed the entire process of him killing the Mist ninjas.

Ishiro was somewhat surprised. Was this still the "virtuous idiot" from the intelligence? Could the Mangekyō also increase one's IQ?

However, Obito's focus was still not quite normal. His first reaction was actually to complain that Ishiro had not stepped in to save Rin.

Seeing that Obito was about to go crazy, Black Zetsu quickly stopped him. Obito's current state was not suitable for battle.

Seeing Obito being held back by the yin-yang faced Black and White Zetsu, Ishiro said, "I came for Madara Uchiha's ninjutsu notes. Hand over what I want, and I can pretend I know nothing. Otherwise, your existence will immediately be known throughout the ninja world."

"At that time, no matter what kind of plans you have, you can forget about succeeding."

Hearing this, a glint flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes. Looking again at Obito, who had not yet fully recovered from his frenzy, he knew this decision could not be made by Obito. So he said, "Fine. We are also willing to cooperate with Iwagakure."

He pointedly mentioned Iwagakure, meaning, "I know who you are. You also have things you care about. We'll take a step back, you don't go too far either."

Ishiro also understood Black Zetsu's meaning and said, "No problem."

Black Zetsu directly signaled a White Zetsu clone to go to the place where they had just been guiding Obito and retrieve a scroll. Upon hearing this, a White Zetsu clone directly burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

Not long after, that White Zetsu clone reappeared and threw a scroll to Ishiro. Ishiro's main body didn't move; one of his clones caught the scroll, checked it to confirm there was no problem, and only then handed it to Ishiro.

Ishiro put away the scroll and said, "The transaction is complete. I have to go. Please make way."

Ishiro naturally knew that Madara's collection couldn't possibly be just this. But it was enough. He didn't want to push Obito too hard.

However, Ishiro had still thought too simply of Obito. Seeing Ishiro about to leave as if nothing had happened after the transaction with Black Zetsu was completed, Obito, unable to hold back any longer, immediately activated Kamui and disappeared from his spot.

Ishiro was startled. "Again?" He quickly went on alert.

However, this time, Obito did not come towards him but went to the other side, where there was a white tube. Obito directly connected the white tube to the White Zetsu clone enveloping him.

Ishiro's eyes narrowed. "He's going to borrow the power of the Gedo Statue? This is going to be trouble."

As expected, with the power-up from the Gedo Statue, Obito's recovery speed immediately quickened, and his strength and speed immediately rose by a level.

At this time, the two clones Ishiro had originally used to cast Light Release had not yet disappeared. The Water Clone among them immediately cast Driving Rain Jutsu, its target being the white pipe connected to the Gedo Statue. The Lightning Release clone faced Black Zetsu on guard.

But at this moment, dozens of White Zetsu clones suddenly appeared. They used their bodies together to block this wave of attack from Ishiro's Water Clone.

After this one strike, Ishiro had no more chances to attack that pipe again because at this time, Obito had already dispatched his Water Clone at the fastest speed and had arrived in front of his main body.

Although Obito's combat skills had not improved, his strength was much greater. Facing Ishiro's attacks, he almost always used brute force to break them.

Although Ishiro's close-combat skills were stronger than Obito's, they were not at an unbeatable level. Although there was a gap between the two, Obito could completely make up for it with brute force.

This time, Ishiro fell into a disadvantage. If not for the fact that Ishiro was currently in Sage Mode, with both his taijutsu and ninjutsu being much stronger than normal, he simply wouldn't have been able to block this wave of attacks.

However, Ishiro was not without opportunities. After the initial period of not being able to adapt, Ishiro quickly mastered the new combat rhythm.

Although the current Obito's speed and strength were faster than his, because of his connection to the Gedo Statue, Obito seemed unable to phase.

This way, what Ishiro was facing was just a weakened version of the Fourth Raikage. After changing his mentality, Ishiro quickly began to play to his own advantages.

Firstly, Ishiro could fly. Although this hall was enclosed on all sides, because it had to accommodate the Gedo Statue, the space was large enough for Ishiro to use the Light/Heavy Rock Jutsu to dodge.

Secondly, Ishiro knew ninjutsu. Although one after another of Earth Style Walls couldn't stop Obito, they could occasionally slow him down a bit. Unlike Obito, who was fighting purely with brute force.

What's more, Ishiro would also use one or two Lightning Release, Water Release, or genjutsu from time to time. Obito, who was severely lacking in combat experience, although his strength and speed far surpassed Ishiro's, was still gradually forced into a disadvantage by Ishiro.

As the battle continued, just as Ishiro was about to launch a counterattack, at this moment, Obito suddenly rushed towards Ishiro's Sage Art: Driving Rain Jutsu as if his life depended on it.

Ishiro frowned. "Is he going to use Kamui?"

If Obito used Kamui, he would inevitably disconnect from the Gedo Statue; and once he lost the Gedo Statue's enhancement, with Obito's normal speed, did he still think he could keep him here?

Time was tight, and there was no room for Ishiro to think too much. To prevent accidents, Ishiro, while maintaining the Driving Rain Jutsu, also formed a hand seal with his other hand hidden in his sleeve.

As expected, Obito passed through Ishiro's Sage Art: Driving Rain Jutsu completely unscathed.

"It's Kamui, as expected." Ishiro's heart settled. He was just afraid that something he didn't understand would happen.

"Wait," Ishiro, who was about to relax, was suddenly shocked. "Why is Obito still so fast after using Kamui?" Ishiro subconsciously cast his gaze towards the white pipe behind Obito and the Gedo Statue. "Madman!"

Gritting his teeth and spitting out two words, Ishiro retreated with all his might. Because just now, he had seen that Obito had indeed used Kamui, and not only had he used Kamui on himself, but he had also phased the white pipe and the Gedo Statue along with him.

Although the Gedo Statue didn't move, with Ishiro's experience, he still instantly discovered some details.

This was something Ishiro hadn't expected. Although Kamui was powerful, with the ocular power of Obito's single Mangekyō, to directly phase the entire Gedo Statue, did he not want his life? Did he not want his eyes?

Ishiro had anticipated Obito's possible tactics, but he hadn't anticipated that Obito had long since gone mad.

But at this time, Obito, who had dodged Ishiro's Sage Jutsu by phasing, had already completed his power-up. His attack had already arrived.
