Chapter 57 Obito Goes Berserk
Chapter 57 Obito Goes Berserk
"Kai!"
This time it was Kakashi's turn to save the day.
He could die at Obito's hands, but he couldn't let his friends die at Obito's hands as well.
Kakashi clenched his right fist, lightning crackling from it, and thrust it towards Obito's hands.
"Chidori!"
"Hmph!" Obito snorted coldly, taking two steps back, his words clearly laced with sarcasm. "Kakashi, it seems you've already made some new allies!"
"As expected, I'm the only one who still remembers Lin!"
Look!
"This is reality, how ugly!"
"Obito!" Kakashi hurriedly explained, "I haven't forgotten Rin!"
"Obito, I don't covet your eyes, and I'm willing to return them to you, but I can't agree to that!"
"I can't stand seeing you make the same mistake again!"
"I'm going to stop you!"
"And I'm so sorry, Obito, it's all my fault!"
"I failed to protect Rin, and I failed to protect your eyes. Your eyes were taken and destroyed by Uchiha An!"
"This three-tomoe Sharingan was specially granted to me by the Third Hokage because he was worried that my combat power would be compromised."
"What?!" Obito immediately exploded.
Obito had initially held onto a sliver of hope, but the greater his hope, the greater his disappointment.
The loss of one eye means that even if he becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki in the future, only one eye can evolve into the Rinnegan.
Of course, what saddened him even more was that Kakashi, who was supposed to use his own eyes to roam the ninja world, actually had someone else's eyes installed in his eye sockets.
This feeling was like he had been NTR'd, which was extremely difficult for him to accept.
"Kakashi, you deserve to die!"
"How could you use someone else's eyes!"
Obito roared in exasperation, his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning wildly, and he slammed his hands together on the ground.
"Wood Release: Hell Chaos!"
To the horror of the Konoha villagers, the earth suddenly cracked open, and countless thick tree roots burst forth from the soil like giant pythons, tearing apart the surface. The tree trunks twisted like the arms of demons, rising from the ground and spiraling into the sky with a suffocating sense of oppression.
The tree trunk was covered with thorns, the barbs gleaming with a cold, menacing light, writhing and extending like living creatures, growing wildly in all directions.
Any ninja caught in it only had time to let out a scream before being entangled and squeezed by countless thorns, and instantly shredded into pieces.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, and screams mingled with the roar of the trees growing, creating a hellish symphony.
Large amounts of blood flowed down the thorns, winding grotesque bloodstains on the tree bark.
The blood seeped deep into the tree trunk, gradually turning the originally grayish-brown trunk dark red. It writhed and swelled like a cursed creature, as if the entire forest was greedily sucking up life.
Pain frowned in the sky, somewhat displeased that Obito hadn't followed the plan and instead had come to steal his thunder.
But considering how hard Obito worked, he decided not to hold it against him.
On the contrary, because Obito showed off his Wood Release skills again, his reputation improved even more.
Since we're all just bait anyway, it doesn't matter who does it!
Pain glanced at the Third Hokage and Might Guy, then decided to leave Might Guy to Obito, while he would focus on dealing with the Third Hokage's "Reaper Death Seal".
"Everyone in Konoha, do you even have time to care about others?"
Payne's voice was cold and hollow, and a faint purple light shone in his Rinnegan, as if he were looking down at ants.
He stretched out his left hand and pressed it against the void of the Third Generation. A gravitational force rose out of thin air, twisting the air into a visible spiral shape.
"Universal Guidance!"
The Third Hokage suddenly felt his body slip out of his control and involuntarily flew towards Pain.
"Hokage-sama!"
Everyone was shocked, their expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly tried to stop them.
"Secret Technique: Shadow Binding Technique!"
Nara Shikazumi's hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals that danced like butterflies. The shadows beneath everyone's feet immediately came to life, surging like a tide, leaping into the air, and splitting into dozens of shadow whips that wrapped around the Third Hokage's waist, taut and pulling back to resist the immense gravitational pull.
At the same time, the sleeves of the Aburame clan ninjas fluttered, and a dark swarm of insects poured out like a storm cloud, quickly crawling along the Shadow Whip onto the Third Hokage's body, and then, using gravity, drifting towards Pain's direction.
Even in the face of danger, the Third Hokage remained calm, his eyes sharp as knives. He raised his Adamantine staff and shouted at Pain:
"Grow longer, Monkey King!"
At the Third Hokage's command, the Vajra Staff instantly lengthened, its blade gleaming with metallic luster in the sunlight and emitting a deep hum, thrusting straight toward Pain like a divine spear.
"Hmph, child's play!" Pain scoffed, flicking his wrist and pushing his palm outwards, "Shinra Tensei!"
Gravity instantly turned into repulsion, and a violent shockwave erupted like a tsunami, distorting and deforming the air under the pressure of an invisible force.
The Vajra Staff held out for only a moment before being repelled and blasted away along with the swarm of insects and the third generation.
The third generation's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, but his spirits lifted, and he shouted loudly while still in mid-air:
"Now!"
"Let's do it!"
"Ha!" Akimichi Torifu, who had been conserving his energy, roared, and his body suddenly swelled up as if inflated. At the same time, his shoulder blades twitched and sprouted two butterfly wings. He pounced on Pain, his giant hand opening wide to grab him.
"Get down here now!"
Pain had fought against Choza Akimichi before and was already familiar with the Akimichi family's methods, so he immediately pulled himself upwards.
At the same time, Xiao Nan pointed downwards from the sky, and explosive tags flew like snowflakes, quickly condensing into a ferocious white dragon that coiled around Akimichi Torifu's massive body.
Akimichi Torifu ignored the white dragon, his eyes fixed only on Pain. His arms, bulging with muscles, opened like giant pincers as he followed Pain upwards, his large hands grabbing repeatedly, determined to bring down the leader of Amegakure.
The many ninjas of Konoha did not disappoint Akimichi Torifu's trust; a group of them simultaneously formed hand seals and unleashed wind-style techniques.
A fierce wind howled, and sharp air currents converged into a storm that swept towards the white dragon.
The Baku also raised its long nose high, inhaled a large amount of air, and then suddenly exhaled, creating a strong wind to enhance the power of everyone's wind escape technique.
At the same time, many ninjas from the Yamanaka clan also launched secret techniques against Pain.
"Secret Technique: Mind Transfer!"
They don't need to completely freeze Pain; they only need to freeze him for a moment, and Akimichi Torifu will naturally achieve his goal.
There are just a lot of people, that's how simple and straightforward it is!
However, the Konoha ninjas did not know that Pain's body did not contain a true soul.
The so-called mind control technique works on people, but has no effect on puppets!
Payne's body did not pause for a moment, twisting and turning freely in mid-air. His black robe with red clouds left afterimages, and no matter how much Akimichi Tokifumi waved his large hand, he could not touch his clothes.
"boom!"
The white dragon detonated, and the blazing white flames instantly engulfed half the sky.
A massive shockwave spread in all directions, making everyone lose their footing.
The thick smoke from the explosion billowed up, obscuring the sky and blocking everyone's view, making it impossible to continue the attack.
Before the smoke and dust had cleared, a cold voice came from the sky again.
"Shinra Tensei!"
The skill cooldown is over!
