"Become a god?"
Obito barely dodged Susanoo's attack, yet what she mentioned still made him freeze for a moment.
It wasn't that the subject was so shocking. He simply didn't understand why she was telling him all this in the middle of a fight.
"That's right. The Leader's goal is for one of them to become a god."
Izumi spoke expressionlessly as she controlled Susanoo, bombarding Obito with relentless attacks.
If the body enhanced by Hashirama Cells hadn't given Obito enough agility in taijutsu, he would probably have been pounded into a puddle of flesh long ago.
Izumi attacked without any hesitation or pause, and Susanoo's attacks showed no sign of holding back either.
It wasn't that Obito was unwilling to fight back. There was simply too little he could do against Susanoo now.
His tactics were almost entirely built around Kamui's functions. His actual combat ability was only somewhat better than that of an ordinary Konoha jonin.
Against Susanoo, he lacked sufficient means of attack.
Put simply—
He couldn't break through her defenses.
"Wood Release: Hellish Chaos!"
As another punch came toward him, Obito, with nowhere left to turn, used Wood Release for the first time in ages.
Countless sharp wooden stakes erupted from the ground, blocking Susanoo's assault. Izumi didn't hesitate at all and immediately activated Daybreak, the ability of her other eye.
The wooden stakes, which should have been strong enough to withstand Susanoo's power, were broken down into chakra in the blink of an eye.
The abilities of Izumi's Mangekyō Sharingan were not inherently suited to combat, yet at this moment, they countered Obito's methods in every way.
Still, that had bought Obito enough time to retreat a considerable distance.
The benefits of his Hashirama Cells were on full display now. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have
