Uchiha Obito Is Dead?

Pain and Obito stared at Uchiha Ruri, whose strength was formidable.

"Six Paths Level? You just said that, didn't you?" Obito suddenly caught that crucial detail. His gaze sharpened, as if he could see right through Ruri's figure.

He knew exactly what "Six Paths Level" meant. It was absolute power that surpassed all ninjas, a realm that existed only in legend. The term's appearance made a battle already shrouded in mystery even more bewildering.

Obito thought it was outrageous enough that Ruri had gained a pair of Rinnegan, but now she'd brought up the Six Paths. He could tell there was some specific connection between Ruri and the Sage of Six Paths.

Ruri's figure paused slightly, seemingly surprised that Obito had caught the term so quickly.

She let out a cold snort, a flicker of displeasure crossing her face before she quickly concealed it.

She had no intention of dwelling on the matter. Her strength spoke for itself, and whether or not her opponent knew what "Six Paths Level" meant wouldn't change the outcome of the battle to come.

Obito, however, had no intention of letting the subject go.

He stared at Ruri's eyes and said each word deliberately, "Six Paths Level is power that surpasses all ninjas. You dare claim to possess such strength, yet your arrogance is truly astounding."

At that, Ruri raised an eyebrow slightly. She hadn't expected Obito to challenge her so directly, and a flicker of amusement stirred within her.

She sneered. "Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish. I'll let you witness the power of Six Paths Level, so you can die without regrets."

"Kamui!" Obito's voice was low and powerful. The Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan rotated slowly in his eyes, as if it would suck everything into its profound darkness.

His figure vanished before Ruri's eyes, then reappeared behind her.

This wasn't a simple movement, but a passage through space—the Space-Time Ninjutsu unique to Obito: Kamui.

Ruri was no ordinary opponent. She possessed Six Paths Sasuke's power template and naturally had extraordinary strength.

Faced with Obito's Kamui, she gave a cold laugh. Her body flickered, and she vanished from where she stood, causing Obito's attack to miss.

The next moment, Ruri appeared behind Obito, a Chidori formed from condensed chakra in her hand as she thrust it toward his heart.

At the same time, the critically wounded Pain unleashed his ultimate technique—"Planetary Devastation."

He brought his hands together and murmured an incantation. A powerful gravitational force emanated from him, drawing everything nearby toward him. The earth began to tremble, as if some immense force were rising from beneath it.

Ruri felt a tremendous pressure bearing down on her. She knew Pain's Planetary Devastation was behind it.

Even while caught between the two of them, Ruri showed no sign of panic. She calmly assessed the battlefield, searching for an opening.

"Tch, Pain's Planetary Devastation stopped me from killing Obito."

She darted through the air, evading Pain's attacks while searching for a weakness in their defenses.

Obito's Kamui was powerful, but it had one fatal weakness: each use required a certain interval before he could use it again.

Ruri seized her chance when Obito used Kamui again and appeared behind her.

She whipped around and activated her Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan:

"Amaterasu!"

The black flames struck Obito in the chest, but it was only a Substitution Technique.

The real Obito had already appeared behind Ruri and slammed a heavy punch toward her.

"I use ninjutsu, and you use your fists?" Ruri's words dripped with scorn and provocation.

In her eyes, Obito and Pain might have been powerful in the eyes of other ninjas, but before her, their so-called strength was child's play.

"Inferno Style: Flame Thunder God!"

A massive fiery apparition slowly formed behind her, taking the shape of the legendary Flame Thunder God, its features fearsome and imposing.

The Flame Thunder God roared and charged toward Obito, bringing with it an overwhelming force capable of incinerating heaven and earth. The air along its path seemed to evaporate in the intense heat, leaving a long trail of white smoke.

Obito's expression turned graver than ever. He knew Ruri's technique was beyond the realm of ordinary ninjutsu. Even he couldn't easily withstand it; there was a good chance he would be killed.

The Sharingan in his right eye spun faster and faster, like a deep black hole rapidly expanding and swallowing everything around it.

Obito's figure blurred within the spinning eye. His every movement became impossible to predict, as if he had merged with the distorted space around him.

"Kamui!" Obito's low cry echoed across the open field, each word conveying an indescribable resolve and boldness.

His figure wavered slightly, as if he were about to disappear into thin air. It was the telltale sign that his unique Space-Time Ninjutsu, Kamui, was about to activate.

But at that critical moment, the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan in Ruri's eyes suddenly blazed with brilliant light.

She vanished from where she stood and appeared behind Obito at a speed beyond anyone's imagination.

It all happened so quickly that Obito hadn't even had time to react before he was forced onto the defensive.

"You still think you can use Kamui? Do you think I'm an idiot?" A sneer tugged at Ruri's lips, her voice dripping with mockery and disdain.

In her eyes, Obito's Kamui might have been powerful, but it was no match for her Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.

Obito's expression darkened instantly. He knew Ruri's Six-Tomoe Rinnegan had locked onto him, and using Kamui again would be extremely difficult.

"What?" Obito cried in alarm. The Sharingan in his right eye spun rapidly as he tried to track Ruri's every subtle movement.

But Ruri was far too fast. Her figure became a blurred afterimage in Obito's sight, making it impossible for him to discern her true movements.

Ruri gave Obito no time to think. Six Paths Power had already gathered into a Chidori in her right hand.

It was a ninjutsu that compressed chakra to an extraordinary degree before releasing it, powerful enough to pierce any defense.

At that moment, dazzling lightning flashed across Ruri's right hand, like a thousand birds about to spread their wings, ready to launch a fatal attack on Obito at any moment.

A powerful sense of danger surged through Obito. He knew he absolutely couldn't take Ruri's attack head-on.

But trapped within Ruri's range, it was already too late for him to dodge.

At that moment, all he could do was pin his hopes on his Space-Time Ninjutsu, Kamui, and try to evade Ruri's attack with it.

But Ruri seemed to have seen through his plan. A cold smile curled her lips as the Chidori in her hand shot toward Obito even faster.

At the same time, her Six-Tomoe Rinnegan blazed with brilliant light, as if she were using some powerful ocular technique to seal Obito's movements.

In that instant, the Chidori seemed to cross the boundaries of space and time, striking straight at Obito with unstoppable force.

Obito's eyes widened. The Sharingan in his eyes spun at full speed, yet he still couldn't fully track the path of the deadly strike.

At this critical moment, Obito's body seemed to turn intangible, but Ruri's Chidori tracked its prey like a lock-on, piercing straight through him. A tremendous force erupted in an instant, and Obito's figure traced a long arc through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

The entire battlefield seemed to fall into utter silence.

Obito lay on the ground, blood staining his clothes. Disbelief and unwillingness showed in his eyes.

"What? Madara was killed by her?" Kisame exclaimed. He knew how powerful Madara Uchiha was.
