Seeing this, Sakura hurriedly covered her eyes, her cheeks turning bright red. "Th-this still counts as a proper fight?!"
"Sometimes... an unexpected move is like a twist on the battlefield. It catches people completely off guard." Chiyo spoke calmly, though a peculiar glint flickered in her eyes.
This man named Obito... was pretty old...
Mm! Yes, I mean his age, absolutely not the opposite of Might Guy's little acorn! (Please spare me!)
By now, Obito had charged straight into the ranks of over a thousand Rins.
"Ahhhhh!" His face twisted into that of a crazed beast, flames of excitement burning in his eyes. "Rin! Come on! Come on!"
Obito shouted as he ran, the blood in his body growing hotter by the second.
In truth, Obito knew perfectly well that these were all Naruto in disguise, but the impulse in his genes left him completely unable to control himself!
As the Shinobi World's devoted-lover guy, faced with over a thousand of his beloved, Obito's reason had long since been consumed by the flames of desire!
But just as Obito landed—
"Hahahahaha..." The Rins suddenly burst into bell-like laughter and scattered in every direction, glancing back at Obito with flirtatious smiles. "Obito... come chase us! Obito..."
"So many, so many!" Obito's pupils instantly turned into two burning hearts. Drool dripped from his chin, and the Wood Release Giant Tree trembled uncontrollably.
Then Obito fixed on the nearest Rin and charged toward her like a madman.
Whoosh! A terrifying surge of ocular power erupted from his Mangekyō at the same time, enveloping the Wood Release Giant Tree and making it even more imposing!
Needless to say, if this Rin fell into Obito's hands, she would be subjected to the merciless torment of the Wood Release Giant Tree!
"Got you!" Obito had one hand clamped on Rin's shoulder, excitement gleaming in his eyes as though he were looking at a delicious feast.
Just as he was about to use that devilishly fearsome tree of Wood Release chakra to subject her to merciless torment—
A sudden change occurred.
Poof! The Rin in Obito's grasp suddenly turned into smoke and vanished.
At the same time, the thousand or so Rins around them did the same, and the entire area was soon shrouded in smoke.
"No!"
Obito's bloodied palm suddenly closed on empty air. He let out a heart-wrenching wail, and even the Wood Release Giant Tree wilted a little!
But before Obito could wail again—
Whoosh! Several Flying Thunder God Kunai tore through the smoke, carrying the heart-stopping power of space-time as they shot toward him!
Each Flying Thunder God Kunai was coated in Wind Release chakra, making them several times faster than usual!
In an instant, the Flying Thunder God Kunai were upon Obito.
Even at his peak, Obito had struggled to deal with Flying Thunder God.
Now, his whole body was flushed with blood, and his thoughts were in disarray.
He was completely helpless against the Flying Thunder God Kunai's surprise attack!
In that instant—
Whoosh! Black-and-gold light erupted from the Flying Thunder God Kunai beside Obito. Accompanied by rousing Flying Thunder God music, Naruto appeared in a flash.
His appearance had changed, too. A thick orange-yellow shadow covered his eyes, as if they were framed by a burning sunset, and his presence was several times stronger than usual!
It was unmistakably Mount Myoboku's Sage Mode!
The moment he appeared, Naruto swung his left hand toward Obito's abdomen.
"Sage Art: Frog Kumite!"
The next moment—
Boom! Natural Energy surged wildly around them. Before Naruto's right hand even touched Obito, a ferocious, invisible force of senjutsu struck him!
"Pfft..." Obito immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his body bending like a shrimp as his face twisted in agony.
Taking a Frog Kumite strike at such close range while his body was flushed with blood—his suffering was unimaginable!
But it wasn't over yet.
"I'll take that right eye, too!"
Before Obito could even try to resist, Naruto grabbed his forehead and hoisted him up by force.
At the same time, his left hand, which had just delivered the Frog Kumite strike, changed course and shot toward Obito's eye.
It was exactly the same as when he'd taken Kakashi's Mangekyō just moments ago, so the result was just as inevitable.
"Squelch—" Amid a shower of blood, Naruto brutally tore out the crimson Five-Wheel Windmill Mangekyō, revealing it to the world.
"Ahhhhh!" Obito's agonized wail resounded through the heavens and earth, as though it would tear the whole world apart.

Hearing Obito's nearly broken wail, Naruto's face curled into a devilish, savage smile. "This is the you I like..."
As soon as he finished speaking—
Naruto's Mangekyō focused again, and the Light of Creation surged toward the Five-Wheel Windmill Mangekyō in his hand.
Hiss, hiss, hiss! As ocular power stirred in the air, the Five-Wheel Mangekyō's techniques were completely devoured by the Creation Mangekyo, becoming Naruto's alone.
Once he was done—
"Here, take it back!" Naruto's lips curled up as he shoved the now-lusterless Mangekyō into Obito's mouth like a piece of trash!
At the same time, he squeezed Obito's throat with his left hand, forcing him to swallow it whole.
"Cough, cough..." The foul, bloody taste spread through Obito's mouth. He immediately began coughing violently, overcome by such intense nausea that it almost eclipsed the pain in his body!
Seeing this, Naruto tossed him away.
"Bleugh, bleugh..." The moment Obito landed, he began vomiting uncontrollably. The disgusting mess mingled with blood, making the sight revolting.
"What a lovely sight." Naruto chuckled, raising both hands and stretching his back as joy swept across his face.
An operation that had started as nothing more than a mission to save Gaara had unexpectedly crippled Obito, the number-one name on the Ninja World Bastard Ranking, and absorbed his Mangekyō's abilities!
What a windfall! Absolutely wonderful!
Just as Naruto was basking in these pleasant thoughts—
To his surprise, Obito actually managed to speak to him.
Pain and agony twisted Obito's face, but he still begged in a plaintive voice, "Naruto... please, transform into Rin one more time... let me try... just once, please!"
As soon as he finished—
Whoosh! The Wood Release Giant Tree shot skyward again, towering like a colossal spire and radiating an eerie, mysterious aura!
Sakura was embarrassed, but couldn't help sneaking a glance from the corner of her eye. Hearing this, she gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "You were Kakashi-sensei's dear friend. You're incredible!"
Seeing Obito's pitiful, pleading expression, Naruto's lips curled into a playful smile. "Sure! I'll grant your wish..."
"Thank you..." Obito trembled with excitement. The pain on his face slowly faded, replaced by a blissful, lovestruck expression.
Naruto's lips lifted slightly as he gathered chakra within his body.
In an instant—
Whoosh! A layer of pale blue water chakra lightly coated Naruto's right arm, instantly transforming into an incredibly sharp Water Blade that gleamed with a cold light!
"Obito! Here I come!" Naruto's eyes gleamed with mischief as he brought the Water Blade down with a mighty swing.
"Come!" Obito answered at once, his face alight with excitement.
Unfortunately, reality often ran counter to expectation.
The Water Blade cut through the air and struck the tree.
"Something's wrong?!" Obito felt a chill beneath him.
The next moment—
Crack! The Wood Release Giant Tree, standing upright toward the sky, was sliced clean in half and crashed to the ground.
A scream of utterly unbearable agony rang out across the heavens!
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
