Obito: Kuro, I Won!
Inside the Mizukage's Office, Kō sensed the chilling fighting spirit emanating from Obito and his heart suddenly tightened.
Obito's judgment was indeed correct.
The Magatsuhi God consumes a great deal of eye power. Although for the current main body, activating it multiple times in a row is no longer a problem,
But for this Shadow Clone clone, that attack was already its limit.
If it were to be activated again, this Shadow Clone would inevitably disintegrate due to excessive energy expenditure.
Facing Obito before him, relying solely on a Shadow Clone was clearly too much of a stretch.
"However... whether we win or not is completely irrelevant."
He quickly calculated in his mind, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
From the very beginning, he never expected that he could defeat Obito with just a Shadow Clone.
The true strategic objective of this Shadow Clone, from the very beginning, was only to deplete the Izanagi in Obito's hands and stall for time until the main body finished its battle with Akatsuki and returned using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The first goal has been achieved.
As for the second one--
He looked at Obito, who was now holding the Uchiha Gunbai horizontally in front of him again, and a very slight, cold smile appeared on his lips.
Delaying time, even with just a Shadow Clone, is entirely possible!
"Lightning Release: Swift Thunder."
In an instant, the strike transformed into a streak of dark blue lightning, hurtling straight toward Obito!
In his right hand, the Lightning Blade, formed from highly compressed Lightning Release Chakra, flashed with dazzling blue and white lightning, instantly closing in on Obito's side and piercing through Obito's right chest!
With the visual perception of his Mangekyō Sharingan, Obito had already captured Kouchi's movements immediately.
Even so, faced with Kou's already unparalleled speed, at such close range, he had no time to make any effective evasive or blocking maneuvers.
"Taking advantage of Kokoro's subconscious reluctance to let the war spread to Mist Village, the battlefield was locked in this Mizukage's Office..."
While this did severely limit his mobility, it still doesn't seem enough now.
Obito sensed the dangerous lightning that was so close at hand, he murmured solemnly to himself.
The intention behind this was to utilize the confined space to limit the Kou's most powerful mobility.
But as it turns out, even with its mobility restricted, the speed of the knock is still terrifying.
"If I hadn't been prepared, dealing with just one Shadow Clone would have taken a lot of effort."
Obito sighed to himself, a gleam of triumphant light flashing in his eyes, as if he had finally received something he had been longing for.
"Let me show you what I'm made of, knock."
For today, I've prepared a special trump card just for you...
"The Body Activation Technique, activated."
Obito uttered the name of the technique in a low voice, and his Chakra suddenly surged, rushing wildly through every part of his body!
Speed, strength, reaction time... his physical abilities are rapidly increasing at an almost insane rate!
Just as the hand blade wrapped in Lightning Blade was about to touch his chest, Obito's body automatically entered a Hollowfication state.
Lightning Blade pierced through his chest as if passing through a non-existent phantom.
Using the terrifying acceleration brought by the Body Activation Technique, Obito suddenly raised the Uchiha Gunbai in his hand and smashed it hard towards his face with a speed no less than that of Swift Thunder strike!
Looking at the enormous fan that was almost touching his nose, Kou couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise, his eyes narrowing slightly.
This sudden surge in price—something's not right!
Kou reacted instantly, mobilizing his Chakra to its maximum in the shortest amount of time.
"Swift Thunder Annual Meeting"
His speed surged to another level, transforming him into a true bolt of lightning, and just before he was about to collide with Uchiha Gunbai, he quickly distanced himself from Obito.
"... Did you dodge it? That's surprising."
Obito watched as the knock landed instantly at the other end of the office, then put his Gunbai away and sincerely praised it:
"So that speed level you were just at wasn't your limit."
"I must say, as expected of you, knock?"
Kou didn't respond, but quietly observed the sudden surge of aura emanating from Obito, and immediately saw through the reason behind it.
"Tsk, is this Body Activation Technique obtained from Shennong...?"
He clicked his tongue inwardly, feeling a bit uneasy.
This guy probably used the abnormal vitality of Hashirama Cells to offset the severe damage to his body caused by the Body Activation Technique to some extent.
Hashirama Cells —they're as shameless as ever.
Feeling deeply apprehensive, Kou immediately began to consider how to respond.
While Hashirama Cells can temporarily alleviate some of the side effects of the Body Activation Technique, the physical burden this technique places on the user is simply too great. Without a long-term and continuous supply and repair of Tailed Beast- level Chakra, it simply cannot last for very long.
Even with the enhancement of his Body Activation Technique, Obito's current speed is only barely on par with his own in his Swift Thunder state.
As long as I use Swift Thunder's annual meeting mode, I can still easily outpace him in terms of speed...
As he rapidly pondered the situation, his tense nerves, which had just begun to ease slightly, seemed to suddenly sense some extremely fatal anomaly, and his expression abruptly changed.
Ahead, Obito's figure had vanished from his sight without warning.
And then, that aura belonging to Obito suddenly appeared behind him!
"You only noticed it now? Isn't that a bit too late? knock"
Obito's deep voice came from behind Kō, almost touching his ear.
Kouchi turned around instantly, and what came into view was Obito's dangerous gaze, Obito beneath his mask, a gaze that held a hint of mockery.
At this moment, in addition to the powerful aura that had suddenly surged due to the Body Activation Technique, Obito also possessed another unique aura.
A semi-transparent, grayish-white aura was swirling around him.
"That's... Swift Release?!"
Kouchi made a quick judgment, his gaze towards Obito suddenly turning cold:
"Obito, did he use the Chimera Technique on himself?"
Without a second thought, he unleashed his full power, channeling his Chakra into his body, preparing to use Swift Thunder: Annual Meeting at full power to forcefully shake off Obito's pursuit.
However, just before he was about to exert his strength, a sharp pain that almost shattered his consciousness came from his abdomen.
"Activation Fist."
Obito uttered those three words in a low voice.
His fist had pierced right through Kou's abdomen.
Obito looked at Kokoro's face, which remained rational despite the excruciating pain, and whispered:
"Knock, I've won this battle."
Feeling the excruciating pain emanating from his abdomen, Kou understood that under such severe injury, the Shadow Clone could no longer be maintained.
Just before the Shadow Clone was about to dissipate, Kō managed to turn his gaze back to Obito was slowly retracting his fist.
He had hoped to use this last chance to try and activate the Magatsuhi God once more, and to figure out why Obito's speed had suddenly increased to a level that even he hadn't been able to react to.
While the speed of the Shadow Clone Swift Thunder: Annual Meeting is certainly not as fast as that of the main body, it is by no means so overwhelming as to be unable to even react under the combined enhancement of Obito's Teleportation Release and Body Activation Technique.
What exactly is the reason behind this?
With this question in mind, Kotoko looked at Obito, whose gaze was gradually losing focus, and saw him Obito very close by.
But when he saw the additional power that had appeared on Obito, he was instantly stunned.
Obito this moment, in addition to the grayish-white, semi-transparent aura surrounding Obito's Swift Release, a layer of blue lightning was also wrapped around his body.
For Kou, this technique that determined the outcome of the battle was something he was already very familiar with.
Lightning Release: Swift Thunder!!
