The moment Obito's voice fell, the space around him twisted violently, and black chakra surged outward like a tidal wave. Su Ye's pupils constricted, his Rinne Sharingan spinning frantically as the pale purple tomoe whirled within his irises—he could clearly track the Kamui chakra surging from Obito's right arm, yet at the edge of his vision, he sensed a faint, "blank" trajectory.
"Watch your back!" Su Ye instinctively sidestepped, an invisible attack grazing his shoulder armor and blasting a half-meter-deep crater into the rock wall behind him. He whipped his head around, and within the vision of his Rinne Sharingan, a black phantom identical to Obito appeared, the black iron rod in its hand still vibrating slightly.
"Limbo: Border Jail..." Danzo's voice carried a hint of greed. "I never expected Madara to pass down even this forbidden power to you."
Obito sneered, pressing his left hand to the ground as five black phantoms detached from his body, circling Su Ye like ghosts. "Su Ye, it's interesting that your Rinne Sharingan can see through Limbo. But can you block six of me at once?"
Before the words were out, Obito's main body and the five phantoms launched their attack simultaneously—the main body used Kamui to warp Su Ye's left leg into another dimension, while the phantoms thrust their black iron rods toward his limbs and heart. Su Ye felt a chill, instantly activating Heavenly Hand Power to swap positions with the iron rod in the hand of the phantom to his left!
"Clang!" A crisp sound of metal colliding erupted. The moment Su Ye blocked with the iron rod, a piercing pain shot through his right arm—another phantom's attack had landed on his shoulder, and black chakra burrowed into his meridians through the wound, ravaging his cells like a toxin.
I cannot remain on the defensive! Su Ye gritted his teeth, pouring all his Rinne Sharingan chakra into his eyes. The pale purple light flared violently, his consciousness sinking into a dark void where countless Limbo trajectories emerged clearly in his vision—these were the flaws in Obito's incomplete mastery, as the existence of each phantom was tethered to the main body's chakra.
"Found you!" Su Ye suddenly spun around, thrusting his black iron rod toward the empty air. Obito's main body frowned sharply, hastily warping space with Kamui, but the rod still grazed his left arm, leaving a wound deep enough to expose bone.
"How could you possibly strike the main body?" A flicker of shock crossed Obito's eyes. The Limbo phantoms were meant to be entities that "could not interfere with reality," controlled solely by the main body; no one had ever been able to lock onto the main body's position through the phantoms.
Su Ye did not answer. He could feel his Rinne Sharingan awakening a new power—the moment he locked onto Obito, his consciousness had resonated with the dark space of Limbo, a resonance that allowed him to briefly "interfere" with Obito's chakra connection.
Seeing Obito losing the upper hand, Danzo's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he suddenly formed hand seals: "Reverse Four-Symbols Sealing!" Black curse marks spread from his right arm, attempting to seal Su Ye and Obito together. "If I cannot capture you, then we shall all die together!"
Obito's expression changed drastically, and he immediately activated Kamui to escape, only to find that space had been locked by the sealing technique. Su Ye felt a surge of urgency, his Rinne Sharingan chakra erupting once more. This time, he actively plunged his consciousness into the Limbo space—countless threads of black chakra condensed in his hand, forming a black longsword identical to those held by the phantoms.
"Rinne Sharingan: Limbo Slash!" Su Ye swung the blade, the black sword-qi instantly cleaving through the sealing force while simultaneously severing the chakra connection between Obito and the five phantoms. The phantoms dissipated like foam, and Obito seized the chance to break free from the spatial lock, retreating in a flurry to a distance of ten meters.
With his sealing technique shattered, Danzo spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at Su Ye in disbelief: "You can actually manipulate the power of Limbo... This is impossible!"
Su Ye gripped the black longsword, his breathing ragged but his gaze growing sharper: "Nothing is impossible. Danzo, you colluded with the Akatsuki and used the corpses of ninjas for experiments. Today, I will expose your crimes."
Obito wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of wariness in his eyes: "Su Ye, you are more troublesome than I imagined. However, the game has only just begun." He suddenly activated Kamui, his body gradually merging into the space. "Next time we meet, I will show you the true 'Eye of the Moon Plan'."
After Obito departed, the base began to shake violently, clearly due to the self-destruct sequence Danzo had initiated. Ignoring the collapsed Danzo, Su Ye rushed toward the incubation chambers—he needed to take these experimental proofs so that everyone in Konoha would know what Danzo had done.
As he sprinted out of the base clutching a scroll filled with experimental data, a massive explosion roared behind him. Su Ye looked back to see the sky over the eastern outskirts of Konoha shrouded in black smoke. He knew that this battle against Root and the Akatsuki had only just begun, and the Limbo power awakening within him would become the key to countering the "Eye of the Moon Plan."
