Fortunately, Obito had already found a way to counter Amaterasu.
"Kamui Dimension Stripping!"
The Mangekyō in his left eye spun wildly as the space around him began to distort and peel away!
The black flames of Amaterasu clinging to the boundaries of space were transported deep into the Kamui Dimension along with the stripped-away spatial fragments!
Although it consumed a great deal of Eye Power, he had finally escaped Amaterasu's lock.
"Whew..."
Obito caught his breath and looked at Itachi with icy eyes.
"Uchiha Itachi, I admit I underestimated you."
"But you can't keep me here today."
As his words fell, he formed hand seals again.
"Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance!"
This time, he did not attack Itachi, but spewed it toward Mei Terumi and Ao!
Itachi frowned. His Susanoo moved instantly, placing the Yata Mirror in front of Mei Terumi.
He saved Mei Terumi for two reasons.
First,
Mei Terumi was Kirigakure's Fifth Mizukage. If she died, Kirigakure would inevitably descend into chaos.
Although Uchiha Itachi did not know Lin Ze's overall plans, he had already joined Dragon Release Village. Saving another village's Kage along the way would clearly benefit his village without any downside.
Second,
He, Uchiha Itachi-was not alone at this moment!
Obito's fiery tornado struck the mirror and dissolved once again.
But Obito chuckled. This instant was exactly what he wanted-
He controlled the Six-Tails, making him shrink back into Utakata's form, and prepared to leave using Kamui.
Today's objective had already failed.
He could not kill Mei Terumi, and his plans for Kirigakure would have to be reworked. But at least he had obtained the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, so it was not a total loss.
"Trying to leave?"
Itachi's gaze turned cold, and his Susanoo's longsword slashed down again!
Obito made no attempt to dodge.
