Obito Instantly Defeated and Black Zetsu Filled with Despair

Obito watched the syringe flying toward him with a cold sneer, ignoring it entirely. When he activated Kamui, no one in this world could harm him.

However, the next moment, the instant the syringe touched the space around his body, a ripple spread across its surface, piercing directly through the defense of Kamui and stabbing into Obito's arm.

"!!!"

Obito's eyes widened in shock, and his face, hidden beneath the mask, revealed an expression of utter disbelief.

"How... how could this be... My power... my ocular jutsu is so strong... why was I hit!"

Obito stopped moving, looking up in horror before slamming his other hand down to hack off the arm that had been injected with the serum.

Then, he collapsed onto the ground.

The anesthetic spread too quickly; if he hadn't severed his arm so fast, he would have already passed out.

"Impossible... impossible!!!"

Obito lay sprawled on the ground, feeling the weakness in his body, muttering like a broken record about why, why Uchiha Brahman's attack could bypass the defense of Kamui and strike him directly. This wasn't ninja-like; this wasn't the way of the ninja.

However, no matter how incredible or impossible it seemed, when something happens, it means it is in accordance with reason and the True Dharma.

"I remember, your name is Obito, right? Or was it Obito?"

Uchiha Brahman looked at the despairing Obito lying in the distance and spoke casually.

Not far away, Yagura's body had been completely encased in ice, with massive ice flowers blooming across his enormous frame.

Uchiha Brahman snapped his fingers casually. The next moment, the giant, frozen body began to crack and shatter, revealing Yagura inside, who had lost all sensation and suffered tissue necrosis due to the terrifying cold.

"What a terrifying power!"

Yagura lay on the ground, his body having lost all feeling; he couldn't even perceive the chill of the ice beneath him.

His life was coming to an end. It was too cold. He wasn't from the Yuki Clan, just an Uchiha—even if he had Ice Release, that would be one thing, but why, why was his Ice Release so powerful, so terrifying? This was a power capable of freezing a Tailed Beast to death.

He didn't understand; he couldn't understand at all!

Could it be that Ice Release had a suppression effect on Tailed Beasts?

Such terrifying Ice Release—even the Ice Release possessed by the Yuki Clan was like a firefly compared to the bright moon when placed alongside Uchiha Brahman.

Yagura had seen strong people before, but he had never seen someone this strong—someone who could wipe out an entire village with just two jutsus, looking as relaxed and effortless as if he were crushing an ant.

Yagura had never seen, nor even imagined, that such powerful strength could exist in the world. No, perhaps only the God of Shinobi of the past could be mentioned in the same breath as this Uchiha Brahman.

But Yagura knew this still wasn't Uchiha Brahman's full strength; it was a power as terrifying as an abyss.

"The Uchiha Clan has produced a monster!"

Yagura said. The next moment, a golden syringe flew over and stabbed directly into Yagura's neck. The golden liquid was injected into his body instantly, and his already hazy consciousness plunged into darkness.

"Obito, you idiot!"

In the distance, Black Zetsu, who was observing the battle through the vision of White Zetsu, cursed angrily. He hadn't expected Obito to be such a failure—no, it wasn't that Obito was a failure, but that Uchiha Brahman was so powerful and terrifying that Obito's Kamui seemed non-existent, taking him out in a single move.

Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Brahman, feeling for the first time in so many years what it meant to be in despair, what it meant to be terrified.

Because until now, no one had ever seen the full power of the great Brahman. In so many battles, no matter who he faced, he could defeat his opponents with that terrifying power as deep as an abyss. It was a terrifying battle, like a grown man teasing a child.

Crushing, a complete and total crushing.

Black Zetsu even had a feeling that even without those eyes, Uchiha Brahman's power wouldn't diminish much, because in almost every battle so far, Uchiha Brahman had fought using his ninjutsu, which was powerful enough to induce despair, and chakra as deep and terrifying as a vast sea.

Because he was invincible, absolutely strong.

It was as if the Sage of Six Paths were alive—powerful, invincibly powerful!

"Oh heavens, why, why! This was clearly the closest we've ever been to success, everything was ready, why, why! Why did such a terrifying monster have to jump out of the Uchiha Clan!"

Black Zetsu roared in grief and rage within his heart. The Rinnegan had been brought out, all the actors were assembled, and the script was written, but why, why...

Why did such a powerful monster emerge, why did a terrifying monster like Uchiha Brahman appear!

Why is this!!!

If he had known, he should have wiped out the Uchiha Clan entirely; then this monster would never have appeared.

"Nagato, can you really defeat this monster?"

Despair began to spread in Black Zetsu's heart. He knew Nagato's situation; he was powerful, yes, but he had definitely not reached the level of invincibility—the level of being able to suppress all the power of a ninja village in a few moves.

This was no longer a power that a human could achieve.

Although Nagato might not necessarily think so.

Despite the immense grief and despair in his heart, Black Zetsu did not intend to stop. Because he knew that no matter how powerful Uchiha Brahman was, he was ultimately human, not a god. One must know that even the Sage of Six Paths eventually died of old age; sooner or later, Uchiha Brahman would die.

Though he felt uneasy, Black Zetsu could only comfort himself this way so as not to be drowned by the despair in his heart. Originally, he would never have felt this kind of despair, but he was just one step away. Everything was ready, just waiting for the actors to follow the script, and he would be able to resurrect his mother.

It was clearly just a little bit away, but that little bit had been ruined by the suddenly appearing Uchiha Brahman. Of course, that was only one reason; there was another, even greater reason: not long ago, Black Zetsu had felt the threat of death for the first time.

In such long, long years, no one had ever been able to discover him on their own, but just a short while ago, he had been found.

A...
