Each strike was as swift as lightning; simple swings, yet they carried a distinct, profound rhythm.
Obito appeared surrounded by fierce attacks, but in reality, he was moving with effortless ease.
"Damn it! Genjutsu! Ice Realm!" The blood-red eyes of the Long-Haired Rabbit suddenly flared with intense crimson light! Obito, still immersed in his comprehension of the blade, was suddenly struck by a bone-chilling cold that abruptly shattered his state of unity with the sword.
Obito looked around to find himself in a world of ice and snow; howling winds whipped up goose-feather-sized snowflakes, and within moments, a layer of frost had already settled upon him.
"Genjutsu, is it?" Obito muttered to himself.
The chill of the snow landing on his skin felt strangely familiar to him, reminding him of his life in the northern regions of Earth.
He activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, and a Perfect Susanoo manifested with a roar!
Obito stood atop the head of the Susanoo, which spread its wings and hovered in mid-air.
He scanned the distance, seeing only endless ice and snow. Where was that wretched rabbit hiding?
Leaving this place wasn't difficult; he could either use brute force to break the upper limit of the illusion's endurance or simply use Kamui to slip into his dimension and depart.
Infernal Hell!
Boom! Dozens of pillars of fire erupted from the ground, converging toward the center before detonating in an instant!
The world of ice and snow transformed into a realm of scorching flames!
As the ice melted away, the Long-Haired Rabbit, previously hidden within, finally revealed itself, its eyes filled with shock!
"What kind of power is this? What has happened to the ninja world?" The Long-Haired Rabbit made up its mind and vanished into thin air.
Obito pushed his Mangekyo Sharingan to its limit, sensing the dynamic changes in his surroundings. Because his Mangekyo Sharingan granted him space-time abilities, he could even perceive shifts in the fabric of space itself!
It was coming!
A flash of white fur moved with lightning speed, wrapping around the hilt of the Ryujin Jakka in Obito's hand. A massive force surged through, clearly attempting to snatch his blade!
Obito laughed in fury, channeling his chakra and activating Strength Enhancement before pulling back with all his might!
The Long-Haired Rabbit was clever, using the momentum to launch itself toward Obito like a cannonball!
Obito controlled the Susanoo, pulling his left fist back to gather power before delivering a heavy blow toward the rabbit.
However, the powerful, heavy punch missed its mark!
"Damn this space-time ability! Where did it go?"
Boom!
The right wing of the Susanoo took a heavy hit, emitting a sound like shattering glass. The supposedly invincible Perfect Susanoo had been broken!
Having lost its balance, the massive form of the Susanoo could no longer remain airborne and plummeted toward the ground.
The Perfect Susanoo was simply too large! While it possessed immense power and defense, it lacked agility. As they neared the ground, Obito dispelled the Susanoo.
Swish!
The attack followed instantly! Obito had anticipated that the moment he dispelled the Susanoo, the damn rabbit would strike. He had to seize this chance for a one-hit kill!
Swish. To the Long-Haired Rabbit's surprise, its attack failed completely, passing right through the man's body!
He also possessed space-time abilities!
Obito spun around quickly, preparing a palm technique that descended from the heavens—no, wait! A legendary finger technique!
Thousand Years of Death! He struck with ferocity!
"Ugh~"
After the Long-Haired Rabbit let out a sound that invited all sorts of misunderstandings... it quickly traversed space to stop in the distance. Its two rabbit paws reached behind it in a human-like gesture, clutching tightly... its two blood-red eyes shimmering with tears... whether from pain or something else, it was hard to tell.
"You! You! How dare you humiliate this Queen!" the Long-Haired Rabbit cried out in indignation.
"Could you be Otsutsuki Kaguya? With all this 'this Queen' talk," Obito said, feeling suspicious.
"Hmm? I don't know any Otsutsuki Kaguya; I am the great Queen of Mao!" The Long-Haired Rabbit let go of its rear, placed its paws on its hips, and declared, "You have ruined my chastity... you must take responsibility for me!"
"..." This rabbit had left Obito completely speechless. Even if you were Kaguya, this brother of yours would never agree to such an unreasonable demand! Not to mention you're a rabbit! Still, this rabbit's power was truly formidable! Its space-time abilities and genjutsu were top-tier.
"Fine, how about this? So I can take responsibility for you for a long time, you sign a Blood Contract with me. That way, we'll form a bond. I'll cover all your food, drink, and entertainment! I can even build you a luxurious castle!"
"Foolish human! Don't think you can tempt me with a few benefits, I..."
"How about I find a few handsome men to take care of you?"
"...As the Queen of Mao ruling over a nation, it is only right to have some servants... please do not question my chastity!"
"Right, right. You are chaste. Now let's sign the contract so I can go find you some pretty boys..." Obito tempted the Long-Haired Rabbit like a big bad wolf.
"Crack, crack, crack..." The illusionary world shattered like a broken mirror.
Obito looked around and realized he was back in his own courtyard, with the rabbit right beside him.
Looking at the Long-Haired Rabbit now, he felt a distinct change. It was as if an invisible thread had appeared between them, a connection that ignored the distance of space.
It was done?
"Remember your promise! This Queen needs to go home and tidy up. See you in two days!" Poof... the Long-Haired Rabbit vanished in a cloud of white smoke.
Still a lecherous rabbit... if you were male, no matter how good you were, I couldn't keep you around!
