Decapitation · Obito!

Pshhk—

The next instant, just as it was about to disappear, [Limbo: Shadow] decapitated Obito Uchiha.

But:

Whoosh—

Obito Uchiha, despite being decapitated, didn't die.

His severed head and body vanished together in an instant!

Then they reappeared, perfectly restored.

Immediately afterward, "Obito Uchiha" looked toward Chen Yiban, who was staring at him with a pair of pale-purple Rinnegan. His gaze was filled with utter astonishment.

The next second, he turned and ran!

"Izanagi? This is a bit troublesome!"

Chen Yiban watched Obito fleeing and gave a wicked smile.

Though he called it troublesome,

there wasn't the slightest hint on Chen Yiban's face that he actually felt troubled.

Instead, he seemed to take a sort of "cat-and-mouse" delight in it!

"White Zetsu!"

After escaping the Hokage Building and landing on the ground, Obito Uchiha shouted.

In an instant, the Spiral White Zetsu "Tobi," who had been attached to Obito's body, took control of it.

Then, with a "whoosh," he used White Zetsu's special ability to merge straight into the earth and flee underground.

Meanwhile,

on the rooftop of the Hokage Building... Chen Yiban walked to the railing at the edge and looked down at where Obito had just left, his pair of Rinnegan fixed below.

"Heh!"

"Obito, there's no escaping your fate."

Chen Yiban gave a cold, deathly smile.

Izanagi...

Since each person's conditions for using it differed, the invincibility period after activating [Izanagi] varied from person to person.

In Obito's case,

if Chen Yiban remembered the original story correctly, beneath the relentless bombardment of "Akatsuki Organization's Konan" and her [600 Billion Explosive Tags]...

when [Kamui intangibility] had reached its limit, Obito had used Izanagi to escape death.

So Obito's "Izanagi" should have lasted at least three minutes, if not five.

Three minutes!

Chen Yiban let him run. He just had to wait for those three minutes to pass!

By then...

the second contingency he had secretly put in place earlier could be activated.

Obito!

You were destined to become the fifth!!

Elsewhere!

With the help of Spiral White Zetsu "Tobi," Obito Uchiha soon escaped Konoha.

He made it outside Konoha!

Some might wonder: why didn't he use [Kamui] to leave?

Obito: Damn it, one of the enemy's clones is inside the Kamui Dimension. Until I figure out how to deal with it, do you think I'd dare go in there?

Having "Tobi" help him was a last resort.

As for fighting Chen Yiban head-on?

Obito wouldn't even consider it!

The opponent's clone had nearly decapitated him in the Kamui Dimension.

Then he'd been truly decapitated by some damned thing he couldn't see or sense.

Obito guessed it was a unique ocular technique belonging to the opponent's Rinnegan!

If he hadn't secretly activated Izanagi, his life would have ended right there.

Damn it, the other guy seemed to know everything about him!

That guy... was seriously sinister!!

Even more sinister than Obito himself!!

By then, nearly two minutes had passed.

"Tobi, keep going!"

Even after reaching the area beyond Konoha's walls, Obito Uchiha still didn't feel safe.

He stayed underground and had White Zetsu Tobi keep moving!

"Y-yes..." Tobi nodded repeatedly.

Then they continued farther from Konoha.

Only after they were

more than ten kilometers away from Konoha Ninja Village

and he was sure they had completely shaken off their pursuer,

did Obito dare let Tobi return to the surface.

By then, [Izanagi] had already reached its time limit and stopped working.

"Ugh...!"

Back on the surface, Obito Uchiha clutched his severed left arm and let out a faint groan of pain.

"Obito, we really took a beating this time. Who exactly is that guy who looks exactly like Lord Madara? He actually has a real Rinnegan."

White Zetsu Tobi couldn't help speaking up.

"I don't know!" Obito Uchiha replied coldly.

At the same time, he removed his brown Spiral Mask...

revealing the somewhat hideous right side of his face!

And besides the [Kamui Sharingan] in his right eye,

Obito Uchiha's left eye was now blind.

Before, it had been an ordinary Three Tomoe Sharingan!

Since he'd just used Izanagi, the Sharingan in his left eye had gone blind.

Crunch—

The next moment, Obito dug out his now-blind left eye.

Then he pulled a small bottle from his clothes. Inside it was a new Three Tomoe Sharingan, submerged in liquid!

He was preparing to replace his left eye!

Whoosh—

Suddenly, a flash of red armor appeared out of nowhere.

"Obito!" Chen Yiban said with a cold smile, his pair of Rinnegan fixed on him.

"Flying Thunder God Technique? How is that possible?!"

Obito couldn't believe it.

At the same time, Obito realized what was happening and inwardly cried out in alarm.

Then he prepared to risk everything and turn intangible again!

But:

Slash—

An existence that couldn't be seen or sensed instantly decapitated Obito.

It was Limbo: Shadow!

Afterward,

a blood-soaked arc traced through the air,

and Obito Uchiha's... head hit the ground!

Crack—

The unseen "Limbo: Shadow" then plucked the [Kamui Sharingan] from Obito Uchiha's right eye.

Then it handed it to Chen Yiban!

Chen Yiban, his pair of Rinnegan open, took the "Kamui Sharingan" and put it straight into his system inventory.

Elsewhere:

Spiral White Zetsu "Tobi" was still alive, and now seemed to be trying to escape.

Limbo: Shadow immediately took him down!

Then Chen Yiban used Fire Release... and burned the bastard to ash!

[Congratulations! You have slain "Obito Uchiha" and achieved one high-level achievement. Congratulations, you have received: 1 High-Level Achievement Draw!

[Congratulations! You have slain "Tobi, the White Zetsu" and achieved one mid-level achievement. Congratulations, you have received: 1 Mid-Level Achievement Draw!

[Your current draws:

Beginner Achievement Draws: 3!

Mid-Level Achievement Draws: 3!

High-Level Achievement Draws: 1!]

In the void, a system notification appeared at just the right moment. Only Chen Yiban could hear or see it.

Chen Yiban glanced at it, then set it aside for now!

Then,

he looked at Obito Uchiha's body lying nearby, head separated from it:

"You know something?"

"Back in the Kamui Dimension, although my clone failed to decapitate you, it left a [Flying Thunder God] mark on you."

"So, Obito... you were destined to become the fifth!"

Looking at Obito's corpse, Chen Yiban revealed the answer.

It turned out that Chen Yiban's clone, which had failed to ambush Obito in the Kamui Dimension, had still managed to leave a [Flying Thunder God] mark on him.

Truly... the main body was devious, and the clone was just as devious!!

Chen Yiban had used the information gap...

to thoroughly outmaneuver Eight Gates Guy, Shimura Danzō, and now Obito Uchiha—all five of them.

"Fire Release...!"

Finally, Chen Yiban unleashed a Fire Release Ninjutsu on Obito Uchiha's body.

A simple cremation!

That would keep the corpse from polluting the environment out in the wilderness!

After that, he recalled [Limbo: Border Jail], then:

Whoosh—

He left using the Flying Thunder God Technique!

And so,

only two balls of flame remained, burning slowly at the site.

But,

not long after Chen Yiban left...

the White Zetsu main body, Black Zetsu, slowly emerged from underground.

"Lord Madara's Eternal Mangekyo, Rinnegan, and it even seems he can use Lord Madara's Limbo: Border Jail from back then..."

"And now, he's demonstrated the Flying Thunder God Technique, which even Lord Madara couldn't use."

"Just who is he?"

The White Zetsu main body couldn't hide his shock.

"I don't know. But this man has already seriously interfered with the Eye of the Moon Plan!" Black Zetsu said, his half of the body dark with anger.

"Obito has been killed. Can the Eye of the Moon Plan still continue?" White Zetsu asked softly.

Black Zetsu clenched his fist furiously. "There's still Nagato!"

Meanwhile,

after using the Flying Thunder God Technique several times, Chen Yiban crossed more than ten kilometers and returned to the rooftop of the Hokage Building in Konoha.

At the same time:

He saw that Tsunade seemed to have just finished eating and was also about to return to the Hokage Building to resume handling the Hokage's duties.

Because of the destruction Chen Yiban had caused in Konoha a few days ago,

the already demanding duties of the Hokage now involved even more paperwork.

For example: all the funding requests that needed to be processed to rebuild Konoha's streets, houses, and other structures damaged by Chen Yiban a few days earlier.

Tsunade Hime even had to consider which areas should be rebuilt first and which later, then sign off on the plans.

So, Tsunade Hime really had been busy these past few days!

All the while, Tsunade Hime kept cursing and swearing at Madara in her heart...

"Hashirama's granddaughter!"

Suddenly, downstairs, Tsunade Hime, who had just been about to enter the Hokage Building, heard the voice of the person she hated most in the world.

Madara!

Tsunade thought to herself.

Then she looked up and, sure enough, saw Chen Yiban standing on the rooftop railing of the Hokage Building, looking straight down at her. His eyes had returned to their usual black.

"Why can't you just fall to your death?"

Looking up at Chen Yiban, Tsunade silently cursed him again.

"What do you want, you bastard?"

Tsunade shouted back at him.

As for her verbal attack, Chen Yiban acted as if he hadn't heard it. His expression was cool as he said, "Get up here!"

"What do you want now?" Tsunade asked, deeply reluctant.

"I said, get up here. Don't make me say it a third time!" Chen Yiban's voice remained cold.

But this time, there was unmistakable menace in it!

"You..." Tsunade glared furiously at the man above her, her beautiful eyes filled with indignation.

"Fine, I'm coming, you bastard!" She couldn't help cursing him again. The next second, she lightly leaped into the air.

She landed on the rooftop of the Hokage Building!

Meanwhile, the two Anbu Ninja standing guard at the entrance of the Hokage Building watched their own Hokage do whatever someone else told her to...

Neither dared say a word. They even felt like running away.

Fortunately, their Fifth Hokage soon went up to the roof.

The two Anbu Ninja inexplicably felt relieved!

"What do you want with me now?"

"Do you realize that, thanks to you, I've had at least three times as much Hokage work these past few days? I'm so busy I don't even have time to get a proper night's sleep!"

As soon as she reached the rooftop, Tsunade pointed at Chen Yiban and launched into a stream of complaints.

"You're so noisy," Chen Yiban said flatly when she had finished.

"You... Hmph!" Tsunade looked as if she wanted to "bite the man in front of her to death."

Chen Yiban got straight to the point.

Whoosh—

He took the Kamui Sharingan out of his system inventory, and a bloody [Mangekyō Sharingan] appeared in his hand.

"This is..."

Tsunade froze.

She had already noticed Chen Yiban's ability to pull all kinds of items and weapons out of thin air, and had been curious about it for some time.

Now she saw him produce another item out of nowhere—and it was a [Mangekyō Sharingan]. Her eyes widened in shock.

"Given your medical ninjutsu skills, is there any way... to fuse the ocular technique of this Mangekyō Sharingan into my eyes?"

Chen Yiban finally explained why he had come to find Tsunade.

So...

He wanted to fuse the ocular technique, Kamui!

Actually, Chen Yiban had asked the system.

But the damn thing wanted to consume [three intermediate achievement draws].

Seriously?

Just two days ago, creating an independent space for Kurama, his beast companion, had only cost three intermediate draws.

Why was fusing an ocular technique so expensive, too?

What a rip-off of a system!

In the end...

That was why Chen Yiban had thought of Tsunade Hime, the Medical Master.

He wondered if she might have a way.

Maybe he could save those three intermediate draws!

But—

"Do you think I'm a god? No matter how skilled I am, I can't do something like that."

Tsunade stared at Chen Yiban, at a loss for words.

At the same time—

"Also... where did you get this Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"As far as I know, there are very few Uchiha left in the world. Apart from that brat Sasuke in Konoha and you, the one I can't stand, there's only that deranged Itachi Uchiha out in the world."

"Could this be Itachi Uchiha's eye?"

"But when did you leave Konoha to meet Itachi Uchiha?"

Tsunade suddenly grew curious and fired off question after question.

"Even you can't do it?" Chen Yiban had barely listened to anything she said afterward.

It was as if he had heard only one thing: that she couldn't fuse the ocular technique of the Kamui Sharingan into his eyes.

However—

Clang—

Suddenly, Chen Yiban activated his [Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan].

"Hey, what are you trying to do now?" Tsunade immediately took a step back.

"I don't believe you. I need to make sure," Chen Yiban said calmly, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan open.

"You... You really are a bastard!" Tsunade gritted her teeth, feeling helpless and humiliated.

But she could do nothing about it!

In the end, Chen Yiban unleashed the immense ocular power of his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

He controlled Tsunade!

But,

the answer he got in the end was still that it couldn't be done!

"Looks like... I'll have to ask the system for help after all. Three intermediate draws it is!"

In the end, Chen Yiban had no other choice.

Bang—!!

Just then, Tsunade suddenly threw a heavy punch at Chen Yiban's cheek.

But without even looking, Chen Yiban blocked it with one hand!

"Ah, there was a mosquito on your face just now!" Tsunade smiled sweetly.

At that, Chen Yiban looked at her calmly through his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
