The relentlessly sharp senbon of Lightning Release Rain engulfed everything between heaven and earth...!
As the Cloud-Cutting Sword came to an end, Sasuke drew in the Kirin Remnant, opening his mouth to swallow it into himself!
Boom!
With a thunderclap that shook heaven and earth, Sasuke descended to the ground. The Susanoo protecting him faded, and he looked around, finding no sign of Obito.
"Ah, figures. That Phasing ability of his only lasts five minutes. There was no way he could survive the Cloud-Cutting Sword..."
Muttering to himself, Sasuke approached the Kusanagi Sword Obito had abandoned when he used the Kamui Substitution Technique.
"Obito took this Kusanagi Sword after my battle with Itachi. It's about time it returned to its owner..."
Sasuke pulled the Kusanagi Sword from the ground and lovingly ran his fingers over it.
"But I really didn't expect him to channel Kamui's power into this sword after bringing both eyes together, giving it such incredible power. If I hadn't had my Wood Release Clone and Blaze Release Clone, which even his two eyes couldn't see through, I might have died by my own sword..."
Talking to himself, Sasuke held the Kusanagi Sword at his side.
"Now, it's time to return to Orochimaru and take control of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path before the Akatsuki seal the Eight-Tails..."
Whoosh!
Just then, a sudden gust swept up behind him.
Sasuke's lips curled upward. With a twist of his wrist, he slashed the Kusanagi Sword behind him!
Clang...!!
After a crisp clash of metal, the blade in Obito's hand snapped!
Slash!
The Kusanagi Sword continued its sweep, cutting Obito in half at the waist!
"Just as I thought. You used that nearly blind left eye to activate Izanagi!"
Whoosh!
Obito's severed body faded into an illusion and vanished.
