"Rustification!"
Seeing that Neji Hyuga was safe and sound, the mocking curl on Uchiha Obito's lips froze slightly before his expression changed drastically.
A withering reaction that rapidly destroyed cellular vitality traveled from Neji Hyuga's hand into the right hand of the half of Obito's body formed from Hashirama Senju cells and White Zetsu cells.
In an instant, rust began spreading from Obito's fingertips, corroding the Hashirama Senju cells and White Zetsu cells.
Obito was horrified.
The vitality of Hashirama Senju's cells ranked among the very best in the Shinobi World. Even decades after Hashirama Senju's death, it had not diminished.
Even Madara Uchiha had needed part of Hashirama Senju's flesh and blood to awaken the Sage of Six Paths' eyes—the Rinnegan!

Obito could sense that this was a contest between Neji Hyuga's cells and Hashirama Senju's cells.
But without question, the Rustification evolved by the cells inside Neji Hyuga's body spread like a virus, directly infecting and rusting both the Hashirama Senju cells and the White Zetsu cells.
More ferocious than any virus, rust instantly covered Obito's right palm. He could no longer feel his right hand, nor could he sense the immense life force and ocean-like Chakra brought by the Hashirama Senju cells and White Zetsu cells.

The entire arm rusted in midair, the tiny spots of rust instantly aging it as though steel had weathered millions upon millions of years before it vaporized into
