Despair for Obito, a New Leader for Akatsuki

In desperation, Obito immediately canceled Kamui and gasped for breath!

If he had forced it, his body would have been torn apart.

What kind of bizarre Ninjutsu was that?

"Just as I thought. Your Dojutsu isn't an instant Space–Time Ninjutsu."

Rono chuckled. His guess had been right.

Kamui was Space–Time Ninjutsu, but unlike Flying Thunder God or the Summoning Technique, it wasn't instantaneous.

That meant Obito needed time to draw his body into Kamui.

For Rono, that was more than enough time to counter it!

"He even countered Kamui!"

"Who is this guy?"

Seeing Obito cancel Kamui, Black Zetsu was even more stunned.

Since when did a monster like this exist in the Ninja World?

But before Black Zetsu's words had faded, Rono flashed in front of Obito!

"Look out!"

Black Zetsu shouted a warning.

Rono's First Generation Kitetsu was already slashing at Obito!

"Intangibility!"

In desperation, Obito activated Kamui's other ability: Intangibility!

When he wasn't attacking, he could hide his body in the Kamui Dimension.

Rono's blade passed straight through empty air!

It looked as though it had gone right through Obito's body!

Visually, it resembled a Logia's elemental transformation.

"Nice!"

Black Zetsu quietly broke into a cold sweat.

"Heh. Celebrating a little early, aren't you?"

"Conqueror's Haki Coating!"

A faint smile touched Rono's lips.

The Conqueror's Haki Coating around First Generation Kitetsu erupted with power!

Splurt!

The next instant, Obito dropped to one knee, clutching the right side of his chest with his left hand as he coughed up a mouthful of blood!

The lone Mangekyo Sharingan visible beneath his orange mask was filled with shock!

My organs were ruptured! How did he hit me?

The attack came from inside my body!

Without Hashirama Cells, I'd have died instantly!

Nearby, Nagato, Black Zetsu, and Konan froze!

All three
