boom...
The blue Susanoo and the red Susanoo collided once more before retreating.
"I never expected you to utilize the Sharingan's power to this extent; it truly exceeds my expectations."
Obito initially thought he had an advantage in terms of eye power and Chakra because he possessed Hashirama's cells, but after a battle, his opponent was surprisingly not at a disadvantage.
'It seems Nagato succeeded, even if we go there now...'
Kikuno Momo's appearance completely disrupted his plans, causing him to miss the opportunity to seize the Rinnegan.
Thinking of this, a surge of hatred welled up in my heart.
"Huff... huff... I'm going to kill you today no matter what. I can't let someone like you live any longer."
Kikuno Momo was panting heavily; if her body hadn't been modified, she would have given up long ago.
"Can you do it?!"
Obito's Susanoo began to condense Chakra bullets in the shape of Tomoe in his right hand, a standard technique of Susanoo.
" Kamui · Yasaka Magatama "
The rapidly spinning Tomoe was thrown out.
Kikuno Momo hurriedly raised her peach staff to prepare for the attack, while simultaneously releasing her eye power. Almost all of her opponent's attacks carried the properties of space and time, making their attack power exceptionally terrifying.
The Tomoe disappeared the next second, leaving her empty-handed. Then, the Tomoe suddenly reappeared before her eyes.
"Ah..."
boom!
Caught off guard, the Tomoe struck Susanoo and exploded, knocking her to the ground.
"A good opportunity."
Obito swiftly rode his Susanoo forward, ready to finish off his opponent in one blow.
" Chibiki "
Bang!
Susanoo collapsed to the ground, and an invisible force descended, freezing all his movements.
Although it only lasted a brief moment, it repeatedly interrupted his attack rhythm.
"Hateful."
Obito was devastated. His opponent wasn't very strong, yet he managed to make him leave empty-handed. He should have known better than to attack that kid in the first place.
Without stimulation, perhaps the eyes wouldn't have been opened, and without opening the eyes, the current disastrous consequences wouldn't have occurred.
" Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs "
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Instead of using Kamui, they used Wood Release for continuous, uninterrupted saturation attacks.
Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique
Kikuno Momo immediately changed her strategy, using Fire Release to counter Wood Release. The dragon-head-shaped flames, radiating extremely high temperatures, instantly incinerated the wooden stake.
Both were Uchiha, both received Hashirama Cells, and both awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
It seems that neither side can do anything about the other.
Just then, Kikuno Momo's hands lit up with Uzumaki runes. She had secretly stored up enough Natural Energy and clasped her hands together.
" Sage Mode - Activated"
Perhaps due to absorbing Hashirama Cells, a black ring appeared around her eyes in her Sage Mode.
"This is...?" Obito became wary, suspecting that the other party was hiding a trump card.
Kikuno Momo expanded her Susanoo once more, her size swelled, and four arms appeared, each condensing Tomoe energy blast.
"Senfa· Yasaka Magatama "
Four Tomoe energy blasts were launched in succession, Obito hurriedly activated the spatial strangulation ability of his left eye in an attempt to redirect the attack.
" Kamui "
Kikuno Momo immediately followed up, using her ' Path Reversal ' ability to counter the attack. Obito had no choice but to activate Susanoo withstand the attack.
Boom boom boom boom!!
The destructive power of the Tomoe energy blast, imbued with Senjutsu Chakra, increased dramatically, completely destroying Obito's Susanoo.
Kikuno Momo, holding a peachwood staff, strode forward, ready to seize the opportunity for revenge, but then noticed a spatial fluctuation, and Izumi was released from the alternate dimension by Obito.
You don't want her to die, do you?
After some time apart, Uchiha Izumi had lost a lot of weight, and her hands were tied behind her back.
"You despicable bastard! How can you treat your fellow Uchiha Clan like this?" Kikuno Momo questioned.
Obito replied, "In my eyes Uchiha clan members are no different from anyone else."
"You captured her simply to deal with Itachi, but as far as I know, Itachi only cares about his younger brother. Doing this is pointless."
"No point? Now is the time for her to shine."
"Sister Mimoto, don't worry about me..."
Snap!
Obito showed no mercy, slapping her to the ground with his Gunbai and warning, "You'd better behave yourself if you want to live. Don't think I wouldn't dare kill you."
At that moment, a person flew through the air and landed next to Kikuno Momo, immediately arousing Obito's vigilance.
"Sister Mimoto, are you alright? I'm here to help you."
Whether it helps or not is not important; the key is the attitude. A gift of a goose feather from afar is a small gift but carries great meaning.
Kikuno Momo felt a warmth in her heart; this guy actually remembered to help her. She asked, "How's it going over there?"
"The leader of Akatsuki has become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and is teaching the people of Konoha the way of peace. I believe they will understand the leader's good intentions sooner or later."
I was worried about you, so I came to check on you.
" The Ten-Tails Jinchuriki? It seems the Shinobi World is truly about to usher in peace."
Just feeling the power of the Ten-Tails is terrifying; just how strong must the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki be?
"Yes, I dare not say for sure, but there will be no more wars for decades to come, and the next generation will be the direct beneficiaries."
Watching Aoki Tsuki and Kikuno Momo dream about the future, Obito Uchiha retorted, "As long as ninjas exist, the war will never end."
People cannot share each other's joys and sorrows; they can never truly understand one another.
Temporary military force cannot solve the fundamental problem; the conflict will inevitably erupt again one day.
"Who can worry about what will happen decades from now? Each generation has its own affairs. Tobi, let go. You've already lost."
"You're too smug. The two of you can't do anything to me."
Aoki Tsuki shook his head. "You don't know yet, do you? Orochimaru used the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to summon all the previous Hokage."
"What?!"
Obito's first thought was of his teacher Minato Namikaze. If Minato appeared, his Space-Time Ninjutsu would lose its advantage.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Orochimaru."
"Oh, there's one more person. I wonder who Impure World Reincarnation Madara Uchiha. They're waiting for you over there."
"Spot?!"
Obito was completely panicked. If Minato Namikaze's appearance only made him a little nervous, Madara's appearance was tantamount to a death sentence.
He subconsciously reached out and touched his chest, his hands trembling slightly.
'Jue, did you do this?'
Seeing Obito expression, Aoki Tsuki secretly rejoiced. He knew that winning hearts and minds was the best strategy; once the enemy lost his fighting spirit, it would be much easier to take action.
" Tobi, let's have a good talk. Release the hostages, and there's something else I need to tell you."
"What is it now?" Obito narrowed his eyes, feeling uneasy. Aoki Tsuki had brought nothing but bad news.
"Itachi is dead. He died at Sasuke's hands."
"Impossible, with Itachi's strength, he..."
Obito instinctively retorted, then seemed to realize something. He knew the truth about the Uchiha Clan Massacre and guessed that Itachi had long planned to die at his brother's hands.
Upon hearing this, Izumi was also overcome with grief. "Itachi... Itachi... he's dead?!"
Kikuno Momo, however, was not surprised at all. "People like that are destined for a bad end."
"So she has lost her value to you now. We are all of the same lineage, why should the Uchiha make things difficult for the Uchiha? There are only a few of you left in this clan."
Aoki Tsuki earnestly advised him.
"You think I don't know what you're up to? You two are probably thinking about how to get rid of me."
Obito did not give up. He possessed both Kamui, and his opponent's power could only prevent him from transferring his entire body. He could still avoid damage by only intangifying a portion of his body.
There is a chance to turn things around.
"If you release them, I can tell you a secret that you'll regret if you don't listen."
"Shut up. You're just trying to destroy my will by saying all this. From now on, I will never believe a word you say again."
"That's a real shame; you've missed an opportunity to learn the truth."
The long-winded talk wasn't just meant to demoralize Obito; it also secretly allowed him to use Telepathy to devise a counterattack plan with Kikuno Momo and Uchiha Izumi.
As Aoki Tsuki said this, his eyes widened, and the ropes binding Uchiha Izumi suddenly burst into flames.
His spiritual energy is not as abnormal Amaterasu's; lighting a rope is really not difficult for him, and he could light a candle more than ten years ago.
Snap!
The rope broke.
"Don't even think about it."
Obito swung his Gunbai at Izumi, but froze for a moment. "Damn woman!"
The first thing Izumi did after breaking free of the ropes was not to run away, but to slap Obito in the chest, Obito was standing right next to her.
" Cursed Blood Heart-Locking Technique "
Bang!
"Ah..." Obito clutched his heart, his expression contorted, his veins bulging like the gnarled roots of an old tree, an extremely terrifying sight.
Water Release: Water Severing Wave
A high-pressure water jet swept across the waist, but no blood splattered.
At the critical moment, Obito broke free from the Cursed Seal's restraints by relying on his powerful Chakra and eye power, and partially intangible his body to avoid harm.
Quan seized the opportunity to escape.
"Huff... huff... damn it, I didn't expect you to have such tricks up your sleeve. I underestimated you."
Obito was panting heavily, still somewhat shaken. He had been blinded by Izumi's appearance, thinking she was a harmless little lamb who had bitten him at the crucial moment.
As expected, none of the Uchiha, regardless of gender, are easy to get along with; they all have a ruthless streak of fighting back from the brink of defeat etched into their very bones.
I should have chained his neck and tortured him mercilessly.
"Quan, are you alright?"
"Fortunately, that guy only locked me up for a while," Quan replied.
Kikuno Momo's scarlet eyes scanned Izumi from head to toe, and only after she felt slightly relieved did she say, "Go to the Hokage Rock and meet up with Haku to prepare for evacuation."
"Um."
Izumi knew she couldn't help if she stayed, so she nodded, turned, and ran away, still thinking about checking on Itachi.
Aoki Tsuki suggested, " Mimoto, let's team up and take this guy down."
She remained silent about Kikuno Momo unlocking her Mangekyo; everyone has secrets, she had her own little secrets, and she never pried into other people's little secrets.
What should we do?
I support you.
"...??" Kikuno Momo is not a naive girl like Konan.
"Um... I mean, I'll be your 'assistant'." Aoki Tsuki took Kikuno Momo's hand and began to channel Senjutsu Chakra into her.
Susanoo
Rumble...
A mountain-like red giant rose from the ground, with wings on its back and a peach wood staff in its hand. Its oppressive force forced Obito, who was not far away, to retreat repeatedly.
Although Aoki Tsuki's Chakra helped, Kikuno Momo's eye power was insufficient, so this state could not be considered a true complete form.
