Black Zetsu made a painful sacrifice
The battle Obito Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha was fought silently.
Obito's [Kamui Hollowfication] is practically invincible; when he doesn't want to fight, no one can touch him.
Shisui Uchiha was the third Ninja, after Uchiha Izumi, to successfully fuse with [Swift Style].
His speed was already incredibly fast, earning him the nickname "Body Flicker Shisui" during the later stages of the Third Shinobi World War. Now, his speed surpasses that of the Fourth Raikage, making him the second fastest Ninja World, second only to Shazo.
The biggest advantage of a speed-type Ninja is that they can take the initiative in battle. No matter what move Obito Uchiha makes, Shisui Uchiha will interrupt it.
After Obito Uchiha Hollowfication evaded Shisui's attack, Shisui's Kunai struck him back the moment he de -Hollowfication and prepared to counterattack, piercing his neck directly.
Five years ago, Shazo had only fused with Swift Style for a few days and had virtually no experience in high-speed combat, yet he still managed to Obito in the Kamui Dimension, preventing him from escaping.
How could Shazo, five years ago, compare to "Instant Shisui" in terms of experience in high-speed combat?
Shisui's control of the rhythm today was absolutely perfect. Obito Uchiha's constant Hollowfication, he was still beaten with nowhere to hide, and he couldn't even return to the Kamui Dimension.
Obito Uchiha's Hollowfication was a special application of the Kamui Dimension, using the conflict between the Ninja World and the Kamui Dimension to put himself in a special state where he was both here and not here.
However, to return to the Kamui Dimension, he must pass through the Spiral Space Gate.
To pass through the Kamui Dimension portal, he must ensure that he is in the Ninja World.
In other words, one must first dispel the Hollowfication before being able to return to the Kamui Dimension through the Spiral.
Five years ago, Obito Uchiha was able to do this in front of Shazo, but today he couldn't do it at all in front of Shisui Uchiha.
Every time Spiral appeared, Shisui would instantly appear in front of Obito and send him flying.
Sometimes Shisui would find that the angle was not right when he was exerting force, so he would use Kunai stab Obito in his vital points. Other times, he would stick Explosive Tag on Obito's neck and chest, forcing him to Hollowfication again to avoid fatal attacks.
Obito Uchiha finally understood that Shisui Uchiha's ability to fight so smoothly was clearly due to his complete mastery of his intelligence and his long-term targeted training.
Moreover, as time went on, the battle remained confined to the Meeting Hall, showing no signs of spreading, and the order of Konoha remained intact.
Even if Obito Uchiha was slow to react, he would realize at this moment that the entire rebellion in Konoha was a trap from beginning to end.
He was incredibly frustrated. He had waited a full five years to seize the opportunity to assassinate the Fifth Hokage, only to find out it was a trap set by the Fifth Hokage.
Five years! Do you know how he spent those five years?
Over the past five years, news of failures has come one after another. In particular, after Shazo became the Fifth Hokage, he kept causing trouble, and in the process, he always managed to Obito Uchiha!
The Fifth Hokage first went to Amegakure and fought a battle against most of the Akatsuki.
Neither side suffered any fatalities, but Nagato and Konan became ten times more wary of Obito Uchiha. Even when Obito used White Zetsu Cells to help Nagato recover, it did not change the dire situation.
It took Obito Uchiha a long time to realize what had happened.
White Zetsu Cells have such unique properties that just one glance reveals their connection to leukemia.
Obito Uchiha and Zetsu have been members of Akatsuki for quite some time now, so why didn't they use their talents to help Nagato recover his health earlier?
Only when the Fifth Hokage appeared and the crippled Nagato was no match for him did you eagerly bring him out—
What are their intentions?!
Before Obito Uchiha could figure out how to ease tensions, the Fifth Hokage Shazo, convened the Ninja World Peace Conference and attacked Kirigakure, razing the entire village to the ground.
To protect his most important puppet, Obito controlled the Fourth Mizukage to hide.
Who could have imagined that this incident would cause the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura, to completely lose the support of the people, ultimately becoming the fuse for the Kirigakure rebellion?
When the Fourth Mizukage was forced to go to Konoha for a meeting, Genji integrated all the Ninja of Kirigakure and even found several rogue Ninja had tried to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage.
What followed was an upheaval where the Fourth Mizukage was defeated and killed. Before his death, he dispelled the Genjutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan, completely exposing Obito Uchiha to the Mist Ninja.
The Kirigakure base, which had been operating for many years, was completely destroyed.
Because of the death of the Fourth Mizukage, Obito Uchiha discovered traces of Madara Uchiha and realized that he was also one of the controlled puppets. He began to plan to replace Madara Uchiha and carry out the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan himself.
However, as everyone knows, Obito Uchiha was the worst Dead Last in Konoha.
But as it turns out, his Talent is exceptional.
The Sharingan awakens with Futatsudomoe, and after a few months, it is stimulated again to skip the Mitsudomoe and awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. The exclusive Dōjutsu is the overpowered skill [Kamui].
Despite possessing such Talent, Obito Uchiha still firmly held onto his Dead Last position, proving that the key to his decline was his lack of intelligence.
He wanted to kick Madara Uchiha, but he didn't know how to avoid Black Zetsu, nor did he know where to begin.
He wanted to break the control seal on his heart, but didn't know who to ask for help.
He wanted to repair his relationship with Nagato, but the more he tried, the more estranged they became.
Therefore, Obito Uchiha's life was particularly difficult; it was pure torture.
They waited and endured, finally anticipating the opportunity when Konoha was about to descend into internal strife, only to find it was a trap!
Was the Fifth Hokage mentally ill?
Why are they targeting him specifically and trying to kill him?
Obito Uchiha repeatedly beaten by Shisui Uchiha, and all his struggles were broken, but he only felt annoyed and not afraid at all.
Because he knew that his disadvantage was only temporary.
Obito Uchiha's upper body was made up of White Zetsu, which not only avoided the danger of vision loss caused by using the Mangekyō Sharingan, but also increased his Chakra reserves.
His body also gained superhuman Self-Healing abilities, making him more resistant to damage and far more forgiving than Shisui Uchiha.
Compared to Obito Uchiha's stats, Shisui Uchiha's were significantly worse; at the very least, his Chakra wouldn't last long.
When Obito Uchiha was nearly Kunai in the kidney by Shisui again, he finally sensed that Shisui Uchiha's power was weakening.
He burst into laughter. "I can feel it, Shisui Uchiha! Body Flicker Shisui! Your condition has clearly deteriorated. Let's see how long you can hold on!"
"Wait until you're exhausted, then I'll show you how to kill you!"
Just then, Uchiha Itachi, who was not far away, suddenly activated his Susanoo, suppressing Uchiha Izumi and Jiraiya before running away in a flash.
Jiraiya and Uchiha Izumi couldn't catch up and could only return in a rage. Then, the two of them set their sights on Obito Uchiha.
Obito Uchiha: "----"
But just then, something else happened inside the bombed-out private room.
Enveloped in Gold Dust, the Fifth Hokage finally ceased his struggles under the combined attack of Orochimaru and the Fourth Kazekage, and was then sealed away by the Fourth Kazekage into a small Pyramid.
But to the Fourth Kazekage's despair, just as the sealed Pyramid was taking shape, Orochimaru suddenly pulled out a metal card and threw it to the top of the Pyramid.
The Chakra fluctuations on the Metal Card flashed by, and after exploding into a cloud of white smoke, the Fifth Kazekage Shazo, appeared on the Pyramid.
The Fifth Hokage smiled and even nodded slightly when he saw the Fourth Kazekage: "Fourth Kazekage, you did a good job. You actually sealed my Clone."
The Fourth Kazekage's mouth was wide open, but his breathing had completely stopped.
Shazo turned his head and said, "Orochimaru- senpai, you did a good job too. I remember the 79 times the Kusanagi Sword pierced my Clone."
Orochimaru's eyes darted around. "Fifth Hokage, these were all your orders. I'm just following your orders—"
"Haha, I know, of course I know, so I just remembered it."
Shazo was laughing happily, but Orochimaru's heart was ice-cold.
Then Shazo looked at the battlefield in the stands and asked loudly, "Do you need me to take action?"
Jiraiya, Uchiha Izumi, and Shisui Uchiha all shook their heads. It would be too embarrassing for three of them to defeat this one-eyed Mangekyō Sharingan Ninja, especially since two of the Uchiha were proficient in Swift Style.
Shazo shook his head and said, "This guy is no simpleton. A slight mistake and he'll slip away. You guys—"
Before Shazo could finish speaking, Obito Uchiha suddenly opened the Spiral and rushed into it without regard for anything else.
He wasn't acting rashly out of his mind; upon seeing the Fifth Hokage Shazo, he decided to trade his own serious injuries for a chance to escape.
What finally made him decide was Black Zetsu's words. "Obito, run! The Fifth Hokage is too strong; his strength is completely comparable to Madara before Awakening awakening of the Rinnegan!"
"Run! I can only hold off the Fifth Hokage for a split second!"
Obito Uchiha was only afraid of the Fifth Hokage. Since Black Zetsu could hold him off for a while, he naturally made up his mind to run away immediately.
As Obito drilled into the Spiral space gate, Uchiha Izumi, Shisui Uchiha, and Shazo simultaneously vanished from their original positions.
And Black Zetsu Obito's promise was indeed true; he really did intercept the fastest speed, Shazo.
Black Zetsu separated a part of his body and infused it with the essence of his mother's Chakra, causing it to decompose into a cloud of black smoke.
If you look closely, you can see specks of Gray Dust mixed in with the black smoke, exuding an eerie aura that has never changed.
Black Zetsu glanced at the cloud of smoke with a pained expression, then gritted his teeth and threw it at the Fifth Hokage Shazo.
This black mist was tangible yet intangible, its flight path unpredictable, but it locked onto Shazo, who was rushing towards Obito Uchiha at top speed.
Even more bizarrely, the Black Smoke, though seemingly moving slowly, actually took no time at all Central City its flight. It collided with Shazo's body immediately after leaving Black Zetsu's body.
The tangible yet intangible Black Smoke Shattering and dissipated the moment it came into contact with Shazo.
After the black smoke dissipated, the gray dust mixed in with the smoke clung to Shazo's body, causing his speed to drop sharply.
No, it's not that Shazo's speed has slowed down, but rather that time around him has become distorted, causing him to become disconnected from the entire Ninja World.
Shazo felt very bad. He felt that his connection with the Ninja World had been severed, and he even felt like he had been exiled.
[Black Zetsu! Kaguya Otsutsuki's son!]
The name instantly came to Shazo's mind, along with the Six Paths Obito, who had his heart pierced, and Six Paths Madara, who had also had his heart pierced.
The gray dust clinging to his body sent chills down his spine; its eerie, ancient aura reminded him of the most terrifying technique: [All-Killing Ash Bones].
Shazo's mind tensed instantly. He instinctively mustered all his strength, mixing his Chakra with the Spiritual Power of Death God to form an unprecedented new power, recklessly attacking the dust clinging to his body.
The next moment, Shazo's mind relaxed. The gray dust particles were swept up by the power, then emitted a momentary flash of light like Horsefly encountering flames, and then disappeared without a trace.
As the gray dust disappeared, the eerie sense of disorientation in time and space also vanished, and Shazo regained his sense of the world, re-establishing his connection with the Ninja World.
But his speed instantly dropped to zero, leaving him no time to attack Obito.
At the very least, there wasn't enough time to attack his vital organs.
Fortunately, the two Uchiha Ninja were not stopped. They appeared next to Obito Uchiha almost simultaneously and attacked his vital points, forcing Obito to Hollowfication again and interrupting his escape attempt.
No one could have imagined that Obito would not use [Kamui: Hollowfication] this time, but instead gritted his teeth and endured the attacks of two Kage-level Ninja.
Shisui Uchiha's Kunai pierced Obito's heart. Surprisingly, it did not reduce Shisui's reaction. He immediately stirred the Kunai in his hand, crushing Obito's heart.
Uchiha Izumi's Ninja Blade plunged into Obito's neck. She reacted just as quickly, changing her thrust into a horizontal slash, severing half of Obito's neck. A large gushing of blood spurted from the severed artery.
Although the spurting of blood lasted for less than a second before ending due to the loss of blood pressure from a Shattering heart, the blood continued to gush out, quickly turning Obito's face deathly pale.
But Obito Uchiha did not die. He struggled to stuff his mangled body into the Spiral and successfully escaped into the Kamui Dimension.
The moment he passed through the Spiral portal, Obito turned around, his single eye fixed on the Konoha Ninja, and let out a painful, twisted howl. "I won't die! I'll be back!"
Then, Obito Uchiha plunged into the Spiral without looking back.
Just as Obito Uchiha had only his legs outside, Shazo finally broke free from the abnormal state of deceleration and appeared in front of the shrinking Spiral.
He raised his left fist and slammed it hard into Obito's left foot, transforming the surging power he had previously fused into countless Blades of Cutting, pouring them all into that foot.
The Blades of Cutting converged into a stream, like Chakra, Flow upwards along Obito's leg meridians, causing intense pain.
