Aoki Tsuki went through everything he knew in his mind.
There are really no more cards left. Sword techniques can't hurt me, Ninjutsu can't hurt me either. After thinking it over, I still have to rely on Explosive Tag.
However, this requires the opponent to attack him first. Although Kamui, he needs to materialize before launching an attack.
Obito seemed to have seen through Aoki Tsuki's plan and said, "I won't give you the same chance again."
"Bring it on!" Aoki Tsuki waved his hand.
The Sharingan carefully examined the surrounding ground and found no traps, so there was no need to hesitate.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
He unleashed all sorts of weapons he had hidden in his Kamui Dimension beforehand, as if they were free.
Compared to throwing by hand, the spiral spatial channel opened by Kamui is not only faster but also has a wider coverage area, making its attack trajectory unpredictable.
Ding ding ding...
Aoki Tsuki dodged while simultaneously parrying with his sword.
The weapons unleashed through Kamui are extremely powerful, and blocking them consumes a great deal of stamina, requiring complete concentration.
"Now!"
While Obito was preoccupied with dealing with the situation, Aoki Tsuki suddenly emerged from the ground and grabbed his calf.
" Kamui "
absorb...
"We've been waiting for so long!"
When absorbed, the body is compressed by space, the power is dispersed, and it is almost impossible to launch an effective counterattack.
But he doesn't need to use his hands at all.
" Spirit Pivot Yama Judgment "
The hair, covered with black genetic chains, suddenly rose up like a venomous snake and shot out towards Obito's head, which was right in front of him.
"Ah...!!"
Obito exclaimed in surprise, not expecting his opponent to have such a dirty trick up their sleeve at this point. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately stopped absorbing the energy.
Physical weakness.
boom...
A deep crater was blasted into the ground, white smoke flashed by, Obito had vanished.
"Are they gone? Whew..."
Once she was sure the other person had left, she finally slumped to the ground, relieved. Her long, curly hair emitted a burnt smell, and her once clean and tidy red cloud robe was now tattered.
If another wave comes, he'll really be in deep trouble.
That last move was incredibly risky; if the timing hadn't been right, he could have lost his life.
On the other side, Obito appeared in a cave. His mask was gone, his left eye was closed, and white smoke was slowly rising from the exposed skin of his right arm.
Extremely embarrassing!
"That cunning fellow actually had this trick up his sleeve..."
Not only had his hair been transformed into a weapon capable of free attack, but what was fatal was that it was also imbued with Cursed Seal that bound his movements, causing a momentary stagnation.
Otherwise, even if the other party had hidden Explosive Tag in their hair, he wouldn't have done this.
Black and White Zetsu, standing to the side, seemed unsurprised by the outcome. They stood there, not daring to speak, fearing that Obito would transfer his anger to the two of them.
After a while, Obito calmed down and his anger subsided.
"You two go and keep an eye on Orochimaru. Find an opportunity to search his lab. We can't leave Kirigakure for long; we need to go back."
After saying that, Obito disappeared into the cave.
Orochimaru is even more cunning than Aoki Tsuki, and he doesn't want to have any more contact with him.
White Zetsu was dumbfounded and asked, "What do we do?"
Black Zetsu replied, "This matter needs careful consideration..."
"Why don't we just let it go? Since everyone knows who it is, there's no need to fight and kill each other. Don't humans often say 'harmony is the most precious thing'?"
If you can't defeat them, make peace. It's always better to have more friends than more enemies—that's White Zetsu's thinking.
Black Zetsu shook his head. "Let's check on Pain first, then decide on our next move."
Aoki Tsuki returned to Amegakure quietly, without using the main gate.
I quietly took a shower at home, tidied myself up, changed my clothes, and then went to report to my female boss.
" Orochimaru found out?" Konan asked first.
"Yes, this guy possesses bio-detection technology; there's nothing we can do about being detected."
Aoki Tsuki truthfully replied, "He seems very interested in our Akatsuki and asked me to inquire whether they still need any more members."
What do you think his purpose is?
Orochimaru is a very curious person who Tōu he doesn't understand. He is cunning, greedy, and cruel by nature.
If we don't let him join, he might continue to sexually harass us.
Konan frowned upon hearing this. "Sounds like a difficult guy."
"He's extremely difficult to deal with; no one can truly kill him."
"Understood. The information you provided is very important. I will explain this to Pain. Thank you for your hard work. You should rest for a while."
Aoki Tsuki nodded and was about to leave when Konan handed him a bag.
I've prepared a new outfit for you.
"Thanks!"
Aoki Tsuki awkwardly said something, picked up the bag and hurriedly left. He was going into seclusion until his hair had fully recovered before coming out.
Anyone could tell from his current appearance that he'd been beaten up outside.
Konan noticed that Aoki Tsuki's long hair was uneven, with some sections broken in the middle, indicating a serious injury.
"Did you fight Orochimaru?"
I wanted to offer some words of comfort, but then I thought better of it. I couldn't show too much concern, so I just pretended not to see it.
Otherwise, Aoki Tsuki might become her sworn brother the next moment, or even flirt with her directly.
She had firsthand experience of this guy's audacity.
In short, never give him a friendly look!
When Aoki Tsuki returned home this time, he first bought a few meat buns from Grandma Chiki next door, as usual. When he got home, he saw his mother Eiko, and Karin wrapping gift boxes.
"I'm back! Oh, Karin's here too. Let's have a 'peace bun'!"
"Peaceful bag? Did you get into another fight outside...?"
Eiko knew her son's personality all too well; if he kept saying he was safe and sound, he was probably in trouble.
"No, that's not true. Who can hurt me now, Karin? Come here, let me take a bite... oh, no, I misspoke, I meant a steamed bun."
Karin was happily about to take the bun when she was startled to hear that he was going to bite her.
The terrifying word instantly triggered her memories; she still has nightmares about that period even now.
When taking a bath, the pain from her Yurika's teeth was something she could never wash away.
"You scared her..." Eiko scolded, not wanting to scare her away when she finally had someone to talk to.
"Haha... I was just kidding. Come on, Karin, let me tell you the story of the Big Bad Wolf and Pleasant Goat."
It took several stories to calm Karin down.
He needs to train hard in the days to come. Through this encounter, Obito has learned of his trump cards, so he shouldn't expect to have such an effect again next time.
Fortunately, with the added bonus, his research and development was continuous.
The ' Gift of the Sages ' has made groundbreaking progress, and I believe it will be mastered in another year or two.
Against enemies who possess time-space Ninjutsu, swordsmanship will become quite useless if it cannot achieve further breakthroughs.
In the ninja world, without Kekkei Genkai, there is only one way to break through space, and it's a universal ninja technique: using immense strength to throw bricks.
For example, the Eight Gates Released Formation uses extremely powerful and high-speed attacks to distort space.
Currently, he has the basic requirements: the ' Rain Breathing ' technique, the ' Sage Mode ', the ' Body Activation ' technique, and finally, the aid of a divine artifact.
He should be able to barely reach the threshold, but his body will probably be ruined after this move.
The key now is to continue using the ' Tidal Theory ' to expand the meridians in order to withstand the system load brought about by the operation of more violent attack moves.
After six months of development, the results are considerable, and we will continue to refine them.
Then there are the support items. Each artifact has its own abilities. For example, the Kusanagi Sword can extend and retract freely and can be controlled remotely, while the Totsuka Blade has a built-in sealing ability.
Futsunomitama, also known as the God-Slaying Blade, is not just a weapon that amplifies Lightning Release; it is a weapon capable of damaging the soul.
He has never truly unleashed its power, perhaps because his physical strength is insufficient, or perhaps because his spiritual energy is inadequate.
Further exploration is needed.
As for Zetsu's clone, he doesn't plan to give it to anyone for the time being. When Orochimaru meets Zetsu, he'll quickly guess that Zetsu has one.
They will naturally come to us to make a deal when the time comes.
Isn't it up to him? Orochimaru has quite a few treasures; he'll probably be spoiled for choice.
'Hahaha...'
After finishing her day's work, Konan returned to the West Tower and told Pain about Orochimaru's request.
"Each of the Sannin Orochimaru's abilities are quite useful to us, but we don't know what his true purpose is."
When it comes to having access to information about Konoha, no one can compare to Orochimaru.
"Yue guessed that this person might be acting out of curiosity, trying to spy on our plans."
"Curiosity? I'll make a decision after I've met him."
Deva Path Pain suddenly looked into the void beside him and saw Uzumaki appear in the space, where a person wearing a tiger-striped mask suddenly appeared.
The newcomer was none other than Obito.
"What is it?" Pain asked.
"It's nothing. The war between Kirigakure and Konoha has stopped. I've been relatively free lately, so I came to see if there's anything I could do to help."
Pain didn't believe this at all and didn't reply, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Obito asked proactively, "Have you found any suitable replacements recently?"
" Orochimaru is gathering information about us; he wants to join us," Konan chimed in.
"As far as I know, this guy is no ordinary person, and I'm worried he might ruin our plans."
Obito definitely didn't want someone as difficult to deal with as Orochimaru to join Akatsuki.
One Aoki Tsuki was already enough of a headache for him, and now Orochimaru; things are slowly slipping out of his control.
"But if he keeps spying outside like this, he'll get into big trouble sooner or later."
Pain's logic was that the more Madara feared someone, the more he wanted to bring them into his fold; in fact, the person he feared most was Madara.
Both sides were fully aware of the situation.
"Well, I'm just making a suggestion. After all, you're the leader of Akatsuki. As long as these people obey orders and do their jobs, it doesn't matter who joins."
Obito waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about that, and then said:
"I heard that an extraordinary talent has emerged from the organization, and he's from your village. Even in Kirigakure, you can hear his name."
Yes, there is such a person.
"As a member of an assassination organization, it's best to keep a low profile. Once you're targeted by the Five Great Shinobi Villages, you'll be in big trouble."
"Okay, I'll remind him."
"Also, you haven't told anyone else about my existence, have you?" Obito asked.
Aoki Tsuki seemed to know a lot about his situation. He thought his information was a secret and that he could take him by surprise.
As it turned out, this played right into his opponent's hands, which was the main reason for his failure.
He didn't believe it was Nagato who leaked the information.
