Chapter 561: 526. Obito Vs Naruto Part-3
Utakata spews out a purple bubble to attack Mei. The bubble traps Mei and corrodes the rubber-like defense around her body.
"You aren't the only person who possesses such power."
Swish… swish…
Mei makes a series of quick one-hand signs.
"Boil Release: pH control,"
She opens her mouth and spews out a pink mist. The pink mist makes contact with the purple bubble and makes a sizzling noise.
Utakata's bubble has a very high alkaline nature and thus is extremely corrosive to the surroundings.
Mei uses her Kekkei Genkai ability to expel a highly acidic mist. The acid and the alkali react and neutralize each other.
Whoosh…
Mei blows open a hole in the purple bubble and escapes.
Boom…
Utakata snaps his finger, and the bubble explodes. Mei blocks the explosion with her remaining rubber shield.
She retreats some distance and glances at both Utakata and Oogura.
The hard coral shell of Oogura shielded his body from the lava.
HAAH…
Mei claps her hand and manipulates the nature of lava around Oogura's body.
Fwoosh…
The lava instantly solidifies and turns into a sticky rubber-like material, trapping Oogura in place.
Oogura attempts to free himself from the sticky material but is unable to extricate himself.
Mei turns her attention to Utakata, who by this point has charged a massive bubble and sent it towards her.
The giant water bubble splits into several smaller water bubbles and covers the entire battlefield around Mei.
Each of these bubbles can explode and release the same amount of power as a paper explosion tag.
Mei glances at several hundred bubbles around her and clicks her tongue. This situation is similar to a massive minefield trap where one wrong step will trigger a series of explosions.
Utakata also extends his hand forward and controls the surrounding bubbles to slowly move toward Mei.
On the other side of the battlefield, Jiraiya is also caught in a pinch, as a series of lava explosions engulfs him.
"Summoning Jutsu: Toad Mouth Trap,"
Jiraiya slams his palm on the ground.
Poof…
Jiraiya imitates a partial summoning and summons the stomach of the toad with the strongest defense in Mount Myoboku, Gamafumetsu. Gamafumetsu's body is almost indestructible and there are rarely a few things that can hurt his body.
Gamafumetsu of Mount Myoboku is an elder of the Mount Myoboku, who is much elder than Fukasaku and Shima. Previously, he lost control while attempting to master the Senjutsu. His outer body turned into rock, but his inner organs survived.
As a result, Gamafumetsu gained a rock-like outer body with extremely powerful defenses but lost his ability to move. Later, the toad sage Gamamaru created a partial summoning technique to give Gamafumetsu some mobility.
Boom…
The lava explosion not only drowns Jiraiya but also covers Han.
Han's body instantly turns to cinders from the explosion.
Rumble… Rumble…
The ground trembles from the continuous series of explosions, and a pool of lava covers the entire area. The lava solidifies and hardens into a black extrusive igneous rock.
After the lava has cooled enough, Jiraiya cancels the summoning and breaks through the black rocks with a solid punch.
Whoosh…
He jumps on top of the black rocks and confronts Roshi. Han's body also reforms slowly.
Whoosh…
Roshi kicks the ground and flickers toward Jiraiya.
Swish… swish…
Jiraiya makes a series of quick hand signs and slams his palm on the ground.
"Earth Release: Great Swamp of the Underworld,"
Jiraiya manipulates the ground and creates the entire area into a massive mud swamp.
The swamp engulfs Roshi and slows him down.
Haah…
Jiraiya makes a few more hand signs and raises his hands in the air. He infuses a massive amount of chakra into his arm.
Bang…
He slams his arms on the ground.
"Earth Release: Tectonic Shift,"
RUMBLE…. RUMBLE…
Shockwaves travel through the ground, and a massive crack appears along a straight line.
Rumble…
The group splits apart, and a massive chasm appears beneath Han and Roshi. The massive chasm engulfs the two Iwa jinchurukis.
BOOM…
With a loud boom, the chasm closes, returning the ground to its former state.
Phew…
Jiraiya heaves a sigh of relief.
However, the next second.
Rumble… Rumble…
The entire ground trembles violently.
Bang… Bang… bang…
Several massive red chakra hands erupt from the ground like water geysers.
Whoosh… Whoosh…
Jiraiya quickly dodges the assault of these red chakra hands. One of them manages to brush past his arm.
A sizzling sound and white smoke rise from Jiraiya's body. The corrosive nature of the tailed beast chakra erodes a portion of Jiraiya's skin.
BOOM…
Finally, two completely red figures cloaked in tailed beast chakra jump out of the ground. The two figures are in their version two chakra cloak mode with four and five chakra tails, respectively.
Bang…
The two jinchurukis slam their tail into the ground and lift out several chunks of earth.
Fwoosh… Whoosh…
They toss these massive rock chunks toward Jiraiya at an incredible speed.
Jiraiya's expression turns ugly. He infuses chakra into his fists and legs. Jiraiya assumes a Taijutsu stance.
Bang… bang…
With a punch and kick, he shatters the rapidly approaching massive rock chunks.
AWOOO…
The berserk four-tails spews out a large amount of lava on a rock chunk and tosses it towards Jiraiya.
Jiraiya's expression turns ugly. He swiftly dodges the attack.
Boom… boom…
Massive geysers of hot water erupt from the ground at several spots, and a few of them even scalds Jiraiya's body.
The rock armor around Jiraiya turns into mud and falls off.
"Damnit, it's the same situation as the last time." Jiraiya clicks his tongue.
"Looks like I have to get serious."
HAAH…
Jiraiya claps his hand together.
Meanwhile, Naruto also faces a three-way pincer attack from Fu, Yugito, and Obito.
A pair of wings sprout from Fu's back. She flaps her wings and takes flight in the air. After reaching sufficient height, Fu creates several spears from her special threads.
She grabs the spear and rains them down on Naruto. The spear explodes in contact with the ground.
"Not this again, Dattebyo!"
Naruto continues to dodge the rain of explosive spears. While Yugito leans on all four and charges toward Naruto like a nimble cat while avoiding all his attacks.
Obito also uses this situation to his advantage.
"Banshō Ten'in,"
A powerful attractive force acts upon Naruto's body.
Bang…
Naruto slams his feet on the ground and resists the attractive force.
Whoosh…
Obito waves his hand and a massive boulder flies towards Naruto.
"Rasengan,"
Naruto slams his Rasengan into the boulder and smashes it into smithereens.
"Inferno Release: Blazing Claw Strike,"
Yugito infuses her claws with blue flames and swipes them at Naruto. Her strikes create a massive fan of blue flames.
Naruto blocks the flames with a chakra shield.
Bang…
A massive orange fist erupts from the ground and strikes Yugito's body, sending her flying.
Bang… bang…
Yugito smashes through several boulders and flies out of Naruto's sight.
Whoosh…
Immediately, several missiles fly around Naruto and explode. The missiles are followed by a powerful beam of chakra.
Swoosh…
Naruto jumps out of the explosion with crossed arms. Two chakra hands appear on his back.
The massive chakra hands rapidly create a giant Rasengan and slam it into the chakra beam.
The mechanical adjustments on Obito's left-hand return to normal. Obito drops the mechanical prosthetic and aims his left hand toward Naruto.
Naruto realizes Obito's plan and prepares to dodge his attack.
Ah…
However, his legs are glued to the ground.
"What's this?"
Naruto looks at his feet and notices a white sticky material on the ground. Naruto immediately raises his head and notices Fu wipes her mouth. There is a white sticky substance around her mouth.
Swish… swish… swish…
Several black chakra rods fly toward Naruto at an incredible speed.
'Naruto, those black rods of his are bad news. Don't let them touch your body,' Kurama warns him.
Naruto recognizes the similarity of this technique to Nagato's rods.
"In that case…"
Naruto reverts to his version 2 form. The corrosive chakra of version 2 form burns the sticky liquid. Naruto leans on all four and his tails throw a massive chunk of earth towards the incoming rods.
Whoosh…
Naruto rushes towards Obito at an incredible speed. He opens his mouth and charges a small-tailed beast Rasengan.
Swoosh…
Obito senses the danger of the techniques. He immediately shields himself with his gunbai.
Boom…
The tailed beast Rasengan slams into the Gunbai and explodes.
"Uchiha Reflect,"
Shoom…
Several fuinjutsu runes on the Gunbai glow brightly. The runes convert the tailed beast Rasengan's chakra into a compressed wind bullet and deflect it back at Naruto.
Swoosh…
The reflective force sends Naruto flying. Obito is also sent flying by the recoil of Naruto's powerful jutsu.
Before Naruto could stabilize himself, another red streak of chakra flies towards him and lands a kick on his body.
Bang…
Naruto smashes through several boulders.
The red streak pauses to reveal herself as the version 2 form of Yugito Nii with two glowing blue flame tails.
"Naruto Uzumaki, I will capture you!"
Obito retrieves a small glass bead from his Kamui dimension. He infuses some chakra in the glass bead and throws it in Naruto's direction.
Chapter 562: 527. Pitch-Black Anomaly
Meanwhile, back on the desert battlefield,
Madara's entire body turns transparent after Minato uses the Ame-no-Hoko to strike him down.
"What a powerful technique! I didn't expect the current shinobis to possess such a powerful tool." Madara opens his mouth with a nonchalant expression.
Shoom…
Suddenly, a powerful pulse of chakra flashes past the ground. Kakashi and Minato's eyes narrow as the two of them notice a black ripple of energy flash past the sky.
Boom…
Suddenly, the entire surrounding trembles as a powerful earthquake hits the area.
Crack… crack…
Several cracks spread across the obsidian barrier in the distance. Minato and the rest's expression turns ugly.
"That thing is about to escape." Kakashi opens his mouth.
The rest of the Kages also glances in that direction with trepidation.
Even Madara's eyes narrow as he senses the powerful energy signature in the distance.
"Interesting!"
Madara notices a pitch-black aura slowly rise in the distance with his Rinnegan. The pitch-black aura condenses into a gigantic dragon with red eyes.
ROOAAR…
The giant dragon opens its mouth and releases a devastating roar. Powerful shockwaves spread across the battlefield, forcing shinobis to fend themselves with defensive techniques.
Swish… swish…
Onoki makes a series of hand signs and slams his palm on the ground.
"Earth Release: Fortress of Gaia,"
A massive rock structure rises from the ground and shrouds the group in a fortress-like structure.
Gaara and Rasa also manipulate large amounts of sand and construct a barrier of sand around the giant fortress.
Snap…
Something snaps in Madara's mind.
Ah…
Madara's body, which was on the verge of dispersing, pauses.
'The restrictions the Edo Tensei jutsu caster placed on me are gone.'
Swish… swish…
Madara makes several quick hand signs.
"Edo Tensei: Release,"
He slams the ground and a fuinjutsu seal appears on the ground. The seal shrouds his body and rescinds the Edo Tensei.
Bang… bang… bang…
Four command Talismans fly out of Madara's body and explode. After the seal explodes, four transparent wisps enter Madara's body.
Hmm…
Madara clenches his fist as he regains complete control of his body.
"Previously, the jutsu caster was quite wary of him. So, he limited my power output to seventy percent. Now, since I am free of his control with an immortal body and immortal chakra, I am free to do as I please on the battlefield." Madara cracks his neck.
"Though…"
He pauses and glances toward that massive black dragon that is only visible to his Rinnegan.
"… I don't think I want to cross paths with that thing." Madara narrows his eyes.
"I have to find Obito and revive myself. Only after recovering my Rinnegan and absorbing the power of the ten-tails, can I stand against that thing."
Swish… swish…
Madara makes a series of hand signs.
"WHAT?! MADARA… he… what's going on?"
Rasa notices the abnormal state of Madara.
"Madara's chakra, which had begun to separate from his body, is now clinging firmly to it. Is he back to his original state?" Rasa expresses his doubts.
"Why? Why won't he disappear?!" A grunt in displeasure.
"I thought Edo-Tensei was dispelled."
"There is something wrong with his body." Kakashi glances at Madara's body with his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"It seems like some sort of restrictions have been removed from his body after that Edo-Tensei was released." Kakashi expresses his doubts.
"Could it be? No, it seems like it has something to do with the modifications Kabuto made to his body." Minato answers firmly.
BOOM…
With a loud bang, the Obsidian barrier in the distance shatters. Izuna Black's body slowly flies out of the seal.
A column of pitch-black aura rises from his body.
ROOAR…
Izuna Black raises his head and releases a powerful roar.
In Madara's vision, the giant black dragon slowly seeps into Izuna Black's body.
Bang…
The next second, Izuna Black stomps the ground.
BOOM…
"This is bad!"
Izuna, who was in the In-Yō headquarters, also senses the abnormality.
"Things weren't supposed to happen like this."
Whoosh…
In the next second, he teleports in front of the giant earth fortress.
"Madara-sama!"
Black Zetsu crawls out of the ground and appears beside Madara. He glances towards the pitch-black aura and turns to Madara.
"Let's leave this place. Nothing good will happen if we stay here."
Madara slowly enters the ground and leaves with Black Zetsu.
His eyes only widen in surprise when he notices another figure suddenly appear in front of that pitch-black aura.
"This guy…"
Madara murmurs something as he disappears to the ground.
Whoosh… Bang…
A's attack is a few seconds too late.
"He escaped!" A click his tongue.
"This bastard!"
Everyone ignores A and glances at the back of the figure floating in front of them.
RROOOAARR…
The pitch-black figure in front of them opens its mouth and fires a powerful beam of black energy. The beam slices through the ground, creating an endless abyss before targeting the group.
Onoki and everyone's face turns pale.
"Our defenses can't withstand this attack." Rasa releases a verdict.
However, the next second, the cloaked figure in front of them extends its hand and creates a flimsy transparent barrier.
The powerful beam of pitch-black energy strikes the flimsy barrier.
"WHAT? H-he blocked it?"
The group's eyes widen in surprise as the pitch-black beam that sends a chill across their spine is unable to pierce through the flimsy barrier of that mysterious figure.
"W-who is he?" A question rises in everyone's mind.
Minato takes a step out of the earth fortress and appears beside the mysterious figure.
"This familiar chakra and this familiar sensation…" Kakashi and Gaara's lips tremble.
"He is Izuna Uchiha!" Both of them speak at the same time.
However, the next second, something incredulous happens right in front of them.
The mysterious figure, who is apparently Izuna Uchiha, raises his hand and waves it in a downward moment.
Crack…
The simple motion of the mysterious figure's wave slices a massive rift in space. The massive rift reveals a swirling, dark space inside it.
Whoosh…
The mysterious figure disappears and reappears behind the pitch-black calamity.
Bang…
A loud explosion and powerful shockwaves spread across the area. A black streak of light flashes across the sky and enters the massive rift.
Rumble… Rumble…
The powerful shockwaves reach the earth fortress. They clash against their defenses and rattle the entire battlefield. Several cracks spread across the earth fortress. The giant fortress is almost on the verge of collapse.
Onoki suffers a backlash and spews out a mouthful of blood.
"Lord Tsuchikage!"
A few shinobis quickly support him.
Izuna's face twitches slightly at the sight.
'Oops, I overdid it! Well, it's not my fault. After the previous battle, my powers are in slight disarray. Well for now…'
Izuna turns towards Minato.
'Minato-san, follow me!'
With these words, Izuna enters the massive space rift. Minato pauses and glances at the rest.
"Everyone… there is no need to panic. This powerful man is a close ally of ours. I won't explain much since we don't have enough time. So, I will keep it short."
Everyone quietly stares at Minato, waiting for his instructions.
"The threat of that pitch-black figure isn't over yet. He is just banished to another dimension. to prevent further harm to the shinobi world. However, if we don't stop him, then he might return to the shinobi world and wreak havoc. So, I will enter the other dimension to fight him alongside our ally. In my absence, Shikaku will take command of the allied Shinobi Force." Minato adds.
He turns around and walks towards the massive space rift.
"Lord Minato!" Onoki, A, Gaara, Rasa, and the rest glance at each other.
"Please allow us to follow you." Minato pauses in his footsteps and shakes his head.
"That won't do!" The enemy is too powerful for you all to handle in your current state.
Minato glances at their tattered state and shakes his head. Besides, Madara is still hiding somewhere, ready to strike us at any instant.
"So, that's why I can't allow anyone of you to follow me. I will leave the safety of the shinobi world in your hands."
Sigh…
Onoki and the rest sigh and cast another glance at Minato's back.
Shua…
Minato enters the giant space rift. The giant space rift slowly vanishes after Minato's entry.
"Let's retreat!"
Sakumo opens his mouth and signals everyone to leave.
"We will follow Lord Sakumo's orders."
In the end, all of them helplessly leave the battlefield to heal and recover their chakra.
"How's the situation on the other battlefield?" Onoki and others enquire about the situation on the other side.
Previously, they didn't have the luxury to worry about the other division.
Inoichi slowly narrates the entire situation to them.
"So, there is still an ongoing battle on the other side?"
They sigh and pray for the safety of their comrades on the other side of the battlefield.
Finally, Shikaku opens his mouth.
"I have something important to discuss with everyone. With the current situation, a change in battle plan is required."
