Gouging Out Obito's Heart with a Rasengan During [Hollowfication]

The two weasels were utterly astonished, not understanding why they had fallen into the trap.

At this point, the two Uchiha Itachi had completed most of their fusion, and their bodies had returned to normal human form, except that they still had two heads on their shoulders.

This was the most dangerous moment. The confusion in his mind affected his body, leaving him only able to watch helplessly as the massive Sealing Array operated, accumulating immense energy.

Anxious Uchiha Itachi could only continue the fusion process, which was only halfway complete, following the fixed procedure.

He desperately increased his speed; the threat of death became the best catalyst, and they merged rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But having lost the initiative and fallen into a trap, Uchiha Itachi was ultimately unable to turn the tide.

All the light points in the three-dimensional Sealing Array swirled together, forming a magnificent beam of light that pierced through the stunned Uchiha Itachi.

As Uchiha Itachi was disintegrated within the beam of light, the Tsukuyomi Space collapsed, proving that its creator had indeed been destroyed.

The next moment, Naruto Uzumaki, Uchiha Sasuke, and Sakura Haruno woke up from their bodies.

They opened their eyes at the same time and saw the corpse lying on the ground.

The corpse, which had been altered by Secret Technique to resemble Uchiha Itachi, has now been restored to its original form, becoming Hidden River Village Rogue Ninja whom no one recognizes.

Uchiha Sasuke: "Sigh, I wonder if this time, by eliminating the clones, I can finally kill that traitor Itachi?"

Naruto Uzumaki shook his head and said, "Sasuke, you're overthinking it. How could S-rank Rogue Ninja from Konoha be so fragile?"

"This time, I definitely won't be able to kill Uchiha Itachi, and I have no idea how much damage I'll cause."

Sakura Haruno spat. "What are you two thinking?"

"That's a monster who killed 33 Uchiha Jonin in one night! If it weren't for the Lord Hokage's meticulous planning, our Team 7 wouldn't have been able to defeat him at all!"

Naruto Uzumaki took a deep breath and pointed at the corpse on the ground, saying, "Sakura is right. Even though she was using someone else's body and couldn't even unleash 30% of her own strength, she still managed to drag our entire Team 7 into Tsukuyomi."

"If it weren't for the teacher's prior arrangements, we would have been completely at Uchiha Itachi's mercy during the Tsukuyomi."

"Sasuke, do you understand now just how vast the gap is between us and S-rank Rogue Ninja like Uchiha Itachi?"

Uchiha Sasuke, however, remained unconvinced. "Hmph, what seems like a huge difference is nothing more than a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan to us Uchiha."

"Once I Awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, with my [Flame Style] and [Lava Style], I will definitely be able to surpass and defeat Uchiha Itachi!"

Seeing that Sasuke remained steadfast in his belief in the Mangekyō Sharingan, Naruto Uzumaki Sakura Haruno were helpless.

Just then, a strange voice rang out from the sky. "You actually defeated Uchiha Itachi, you're quite capable."

The voice was deep and echoing, as if it came from a winding mountain cave, and the malice in the words was undisguised.

Team 7 Konoha tensed up instantly, forming a triangular attack formation with Naruto Uzumaki at the forefront.

Naruto, relying on his intuition, threw Kunai at a point in the void.

[Ice Style: Freezing Arrow]

The powerful Ice Style chilling energy clung to the Kunai, leaving a white trail, the center of which was even ice shards formed from frozen Carbon Dioxide in the air.

The freezing caused the trajectory to spread, creating a mist of ice and water over a large area of air, marking out an invisible, twisting spiral.

Seeing the spiral in the air, Naruto Uzumaki narrowed his eyes and mentally cried out, "Kurama, is this your enemy?"

The Nine-Tails ' answer immediately echoed in his mind, "That's right, it's him!"

"That guy who attacked your mother 16 years ago, and used his Mangekyō Sharingan to control me and attack Konoha!"

Naruto Uzumaki's suppressed hatred exploded, his rage almost consuming his reason, but he managed to control himself, whispering in his heart, "Kurama, help me."

Nine-Tails sensed his anger and responded directly, "Fine!"

"I also want to teach him a lesson, and I really want to know who this bastard is!"

"But Naruto, you know he could control me directly 16 years ago, and he's bound to be even stronger today. I can only provide you with Chakra and help you break free from Genjutsu; I can't fight alongside you."

"In that case, you definitely can't beat him."

Naruto Uzumaki, however, wasn't worried at all, and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Kurama, my teacher is the Fifth Hokage."

Nine-Tails asked in confusion, "I know your teacher is the Fifth Hokage Shazo, and I know he's the strongest Ninja in the Ninja World. If he were here, he could easily kill that guy, but he's in Konoha."

Naruto laughed, "Kurama, you still don't understand your teacher enough."

"For two whole years, nothing happened, but the teacher wouldn't let me leave the village no matter what. If it really became unbearable, he would stay with me personally."

"But when the Fifth Kazekage was in trouble and Sunagakure needed help, my teacher, even though he knew it was Jinchuriki who had been attacked, still made me join the Support Force."

"I don't believe the teacher would entrust my safety to the unreliable Lord Jiraiya."

"I'm sure I have reinforcements behind me, and very, very strong reinforcements at that!"

Nine-Tails stared in disbelief. "Your human brains are far too complex."

"Damn it, Naruto, you can't scheme against me anymore, or I'll get angry!"

The Nine-Tails, both cowardly and fierce yet adorable, softened Naruto Uzumaki's heart a little, and the burning sensation of his hatred lessened slightly.

He smiled and assured them, "Kurama, you are my best friend. We will never abandon each other for life. I promise I will never scheme against you."

"Alright, now let's all kill him together."

The Nine-Tails became excited, raising its nine tails and waving them wildly. "Kill him!"

After the Spiral in the air started spinning faster, it became visible in the air without the need for the ice mist's markings, and a scarlet Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan appeared at the center of the Spiral.

With the appearance of this eye, Orange Spiral Pattern Mask and the Akatsuki's distinctive Cloak followed, and a sinister figure leaped out of thin air.

He looked at Team 7, who had formed a battle formation before him, and laughed with a mixture of pleasure and disdain, "Not bad, the formation was formed very quickly. You are truly an excellent Ninja Squad."

"Especially you, Naruto Uzumaki, you haven't let down your status as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. At just 16 years old, you've already achieved Kage Level combat power, only slightly inferior to Uchiha Itachi and Shisui Uchiha of the same age."

"But before me, Madara Uchiha, your weakness is like that of Bug."

"Will you obediently let me capture you and save your two companions, or will you fight back desperately, wait for me to kill your companions, and then cut off your limbs and take you away?"

Naruto Uzumaki forcibly suppressed his killing intent and solemnly said, "You cowardly liar, what credibility do you have to make promises?"

Uchiha Sasuke pointed at Obito's nose and yelled, "You? Madara Uchiha? You can't even be bothered to imitate Madara's hairstyle, yet you dare to impersonate him in front of the Uchiha Clan? Is your brain full of shit?"

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Obito was taken aback. Then, he frowned and remembered Madara Uchiha's unruly hairstyle.

Although Obito Uchiha wasn't very bright, he still retained some intelligence in his dark state. At least he could still understand that, given Madara Uchiha's pride, wearing a mask to cover his face was the limit.

He would never change his hairstyle for the sake of disguise; his arrogant and domineering nature would not allow it.

So, Uchiha Itachi already knew all along?

Thinking that Uchiha Itachi had been toying with him all these years, Obito Uchiha felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Yeah, my head hurts even more.

All the pain instantly transformed into rage. Enraged, Obito growled, "Do you think I'm like Uchiha Itachi, that soft-hearted guy?"

"The deaths of Naruto Uzumaki, Uchiha Sasuke, and the Pink-Hair girl were all your fault for your mouth!"

Sakura Haruno was stunned: No, I didn't insult you, why did you give me such an awful nickname and even want to kill me?

The girl's fist hardened, her chest, which had not yet begun to flare, filled with rage.

Without hesitation, Sakura Haruno smeared her forehead with her left hand, and the diamond-shaped Tattoo extended into living sealing Runes, which quickly spread throughout her body.

[Yin Seal - Release]

The Chakra that had been accumulating for three years suddenly erupted, forming Chakra storm on Sakura Haruno's body, no less powerful than Might Guy's opening of the Sixth Gate.

Sakura Haruno's outburst was very sudden. Without any warning, Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke tacitly turned around and changed the arrowhead of their formation to Sakura.

They rotated 120 degrees counterclockwise, switching to flank cover.

It wasn't just their formation that changed, but also the Ninjutsu they used.

Naruto Uzumaki dispelled the [Rasengan] and instead formed Hand Seals to unleash [Wind Style: Great Breakthrough], shifting from close-range offense to ranged suppression.

Uchiha Sasuke interrupted the half-finished [Fire Style: Fire Dragon Technique] and switched to [Lightning Release: Lightning Step], changing from long-range suppression to battlefield control.

Among Ninjutsu that strikes later but arrives first, [Wind Style: Great Breakthrough] is a popular Ninjutsu, which was easily Obito Uchiha.

However, [Lightning Release: Stepping Electricity] is a newly developed Ninjutsu by Uchiha Sasuke. It involves setting up a power source underground and using the enemy's steps to generate stepping voltage, which is then used to kill the enemy.

Obito Uchiha was caught off guard. Ignoring the power source marked on his right foot, he took a step and was immediately struck by tens of thousands of volts, his entire body burning and emitting blue smoke.

This level of electric shock was insufficient to kill Obito, or even cause him serious injury, but it could burn his nervous system, rendering him completely immobile for a few seconds.

Sakura Haruno seized the opportunity and delivered a powerful punch to Obito Uchiha's nose.

The violent girl's fist wasn't big, but it shattered the mask, and after her entire fist was buried in Obito's face, the damage was naturally considerable.

Obito's nose and a fragment of his mask were immediately punched into his face, and his only right eye was ejected, hanging on his cheek by a thin Optic Nerve.

That's the nature of Ninja battles—always full of surprises.

Even a Kage-level Ninja could be killed on the spot if he is careless and lacks sufficient intelligence about the enemy.

Upon seeing the eyeball burst open, Naruto Uzumaki was overjoyed. He disregarded formation and transformed into a shadow, rushing forward and grabbing the precious eyeball.

But when he pulled hard on the eyeball, the sensation in his palm disappeared.

Obito Uchiha regained consciousness in time and activated [Hollowfication] through the connection of his Optic Nerve. He was only 0.1 seconds away from being completely finished.

Death and fear Obito Uchiha mad. He reached out and stuffed his eyeballs back into their sockets, then took out another mask and covered his mangled face.

As he did these actions, he muttered to himself, "Damn it, damn it! Damn it!!"

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"

"I will kill you all! I will definitely kill you all!"

Although his ferocious face was hidden by a mask, Obito Uchiha's crazed aura distorted the Liao Kong, sending chills down one's spine.

All grace, imposing presence, and Politeness vanished, leaving only madness, hatred, and a twisted murderous intent.

Under the powerful aura of Kage-level Ninja, and driven by the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the twisted killing intent made Sakura Haruno, who almost killed Obito, tremble uncontrollably.

Uchiha Sasuke also felt a tightness in his chest, and his breathing became very difficult. His hands unconsciously formed the hand Hand Seals he was most familiar with: [Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique].

Only Naruto Uzumaki, whose strength reached Kage Level, who had the support of the Nine-Tails Chakra, and who was naturally bold, could ignore Obito Uchiha's crazed and twisted killing intent and try to attack him at close range.

After several attempts, using Ninjutsu of all five elements, Naruto confirmed that the enemy's [Hollowfication] had no weaknesses.

However, there are no perfect skills or Secret Technique in the world. Since [Hollowfication] itself has no flaws, it must have a limit to its duration.

Naruto Uzumaki grinned mischievously and conjured two Rasengan, then placed his hands on Obito Uchiha's head and heart respectively.

He wanted to see what would happen the Setsuna his hand and Rasengan overlapped with the enemy's body at the end of the opponent's [Hollowfication].

Even in his extreme state of rage, Obito Uchiha still felt a chill run down his spine and had to shake his head and body, trying to shake off the discomfort caused by the Rasengan.

But Naruto Uzumaki wouldn't let him have his way; he immediately followed suit.

The chase between the two turned into a contest of speed and agility.

However, Obito Uchiha was still recovering from his injuries, and his skills were greatly diminished, making it impossible for him to shake off Naruto Uzumaki's entanglement.

Moreover, seeing the enemy's actions, not only was Naruto Uzumaki unable to give up, but even Uchiha Sasuke Sakura Haruno, who had just been frightened, overcame their discomfort and joined the chase.

Although they don't know the Rasengan, they always have combinations of Kunai wrapped with Explosive Tag.
