Roar!
Accompanied by a loud Roar, a flaming Crimson Red Susano'o suddenly appeared on the edge of the battlefield.
The flaming Red Sword that had appeared along with the crimson Red Susano'o illuminated the night sky all around, making the Gourd-Shaped Sword Wielding Susano'o appear like a true God of war.
"That… that's…" The sudden change in the situation caused all the Konoha Shinobi in the immediate vicinity of the battlefield to exclaim in shock and confusion.
Similar to the previous emerald blue Susano'o that was used by 'Madara/Tobi' before, this Crimson Red Susano'o that appeared out of nowhere and all of sudden has also never been seen before, at least not by the people currently alive, and since it hasn't been seen before, therefore, there is no intelligence of this Susano'o in the village, so everyone is confused…
"Another Susano'o….?"
"What's going on here… why are there so many Susano'o appearing today one after another?"
"This time is it the enemy or an ally?"
The surviving Konoha Shinobi are all uncertain whether the new Susano'o that suddenly appeared on the battlefield is used by an enemy or an ally.
They have already experienced the horror of a Susano'o at the hands of Madara/Tobi by being unilaterally slaughtered, and now that they see another Susano'o, although small compared to the one used by Madara/Tobi before, they still can't help but feel instinctive fear.
Soon, everyone discovered that inside the body of the Crimson-red Susano'o holding the Gourd Shaped Sword, stood a mysterious shinobi wearing a midnight Black gold-rimmed cloak, and a fire-patterned mask…
"It's another member of Amatsukami!"
"From the design of his cloak and mask, he should be Homusubi, right?"
As soon as they noticed the mysterious ninja, and recognized his identity as a member of Amatsukami, the nervous Konoha Shinobi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Konoha Shinobi are not sure whether Amatsukami Organization is an enemy or an ally of the village, and it is very difficult for them to trust the members of Amatsukami given the history of this mercenary organization, from Fujin's act of protecting Konoha tonight from so many members of the Akatsuki Organization, everyone at least understands that for tonight, Amatsukami Organization is not Konoha's enemy, as such they are willing to put down their guard against the members of Amatsukami and trust them to some extent.
Kurenai in the distance who was released by Kuroto (Shadow Clone) seemed to have lost all her strength at this moment and sat down on the ground with a relieved look on her face, "Great… a companion of Fujin has finally taken action… now with other members of Amatsukami around, Fujin shouldn't be in much danger…"
A few moments ago, when Fujin was in distress, Kurenai almost had her heart come out of her throat in nervousness and would have definitely rushed towards Fujin regardless of life and death if it weren't for Kuroto (Shadow Clone) to keep a hold of her.
And now that she has seen Homusubi taking action, Kurenai finally sighed and understood why Kuroto did not allow her to go, it was probably because Kuroto could see the arrival of Homusubi thanks to his Byakugan.
Kakashi who was lying injured on the battlefield carefully observed the surroundings in search of the figure of the masked man who claims to be Uchiha Madara.
But no matter how much he searched, Kakashi couldn't find any trace of the masked man, so he can't help but mutter in shock and surprise, "The masked man who claims to be Uchiha Madara was dealt with Homusubi so easily?"
Kakashi is the only Konoha Shinobi who was alive on the battlefield when the masked man was sucking Fujin inside the Kamui dimension, and although severely injured, Kakashi was conscious enough to notice Homusubi's sneak attack on 'Tobi/Madara'… So, Kakashi saw that while the masked man's guard was down and he was in a non-intangible state, a red Charka Sword suddenly appeared out of nowhere, stabbed through the masked man who claims to be Uchiha Madara and absorbed him inside the inside that Gourd thing in an instant.
And the biggest surprise to Kakashi is that while all this happened, the masked man wasn't able to put any resistance, and was easily absorbed inside that Gourd Shaped thing despite having Kamui at his disposal!
This is really unbelievable to Kakashi!
You know, hundreds of Konoha Shinobi including two of the three legendary Sannin had tried to deal with the masked man not long ago, and they were all useless, none of their attacks or tactics worked against the masked man making Konoha extremely helpless… but Homusubi appeared out of nowhere, and so easily dealt with the masked man in a manner of seconds, so Kakashi was a bit dazed and felt like he was in some sort of Genjutsu or something.
But, Kakashi knows that he is not in a Genjutsu because his Chakra Flow is not disrupted, the masked man has really been absorbed by that Gourd Shaped Sword in the hands of Homusubi's Susano'o… so Kakashi also breathed a sigh of relief, "Perhaps this is for the best…"
Although Kakashi wanted to verify the identity of the masked man, Konoha's safety comes first, and now that the masked man has been dealt with, so although relieved, Kakashi's mood is still quite complicated, and in this complicated mood, Kakashi also lost consciousness due to severe injury and excessive bleeding.
On the other hand, after a brief shock and surprise, the other Konoha Shinobi also found that the masked man who claimed to be Uchiha Madara was missing from the battlefield, and soon understood that perhaps it was Homusubi who dealt with the masked man.
Realizing this truth, everyone can't help but have a complicated mood… and finally, one of the Konoha Shinobi can't help but murmur, "The Uchiha of the Akatsuki Organization was defeated by an Uchiha of Amatsukami Organization… but isn't Uchiha part of Konoha?"
Listening to the murmur of that particular Shinobi, the other Konoha Shinobi were quite embarrassed, as the situation before them is indeed a great irony for Konoha.
Uchiha Clan is one of the two founding Clans of Konoha Village, but now the situation has arisen to such a point where Uchiha Clansmen are fighting against each other for foreign organizations, and not for the Konoha Village.
At this time, Kurenai suddenly found that the figure of Fujin has disappeared along with the masked man, confused she asked Kuroto who was standing beside her, "Where is Fujin?"
Kuroto (Shadow Clone) was speechless and didn't know how to answer… even the Shadow Clone didn't think that Fujin would be absorbed by the Sword of Totsuka and, so in response to Kurenai's question, he could only look in the direction of Homusubi with an unbelievable expression.
Not to mention Kuroto (Shadow Clone), even, Itachi who was wearing the Homusubi disguise was surprised by the sudden turn of events.
The previous set of tactics was discussed by Fujin and through the medium of a Genjutsu. After Itachi informed Fujin that he has successfully obtained the Sword of Totsuka and Yata Mirror, the two planned out the layout to trap and seal the masked man.
Of course, to trap and seal the masked man, there must be suitable bait so that the masked man would get hinged and make himself tangible. Fujin knew very well that apart from himself, there was no bait on the entire Konoha Battlefield that would make Obito drop his guard… and knowing this full well, Fujin acted as the bait to lure Obito out of the Kamui Dimension.
Fujin was convinced that as long as he is injured and helpless, Obito would never let go of the opportunity and try to get rid of him, or capture him… This is not only because Obito needs all the intelligence of Amatsukami he can in order to deal with the threat of the mysterious Amatsukami Organization that is probably the last hindrance in his Project Tsuki no Me, but also because of the individual strength of Fujin, which is too high for him to ignore him.
In terms of close combat skills alone, Fujin can fully suppress and defeat Hiruko who possesses five Kekkei Genkai including Swift Release, Sharingan, Steel Release, Dark Release, and Storm Release.
In terms of Ninjutsu, Fujin can use Magnet Release, Typhoon release as well as other Nature Release Jutsu (Since Scorch Release has not been actively used by Fujin, therefore, nobody is aware that he has also mastered Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai).
Magnet Release alone gives Fujin close-range and long-range versatility and can help him both attack and defend as per the situational change.
Not to mention the horror Shikotsumyaku of Fujin which is incredibly powerful against which even the perfect defence of Susano'o can't compete, and Obito has personally experienced the horror of those grey bones that can even break through his Complete Body Susano'o.
With all these skills at his disposal, although, not perfectly immune, Fujin is still fast, strong, and versatile enough to threaten Obito, therefore, Obito can never allow such a strong enemy to stay alive, and would definitely not let this opportunity go to waste when Fujin is in an extremely weak state.
In fact, if Fujin and Obito were to swap positions, and Fujin were to face such a strong enemy as him, even Fujin would also not let go of such an opportunity and definitely get rid of the enemy.
After all, there is no telling if such an opportunity would be available in the future or not, so it is better to get rid of the enemy so as to avoid future troubles.
The result was exactly as Fujin had expected, even Obito with his cautious and vigilant personality couldn't hold back and deactivated his Kamui intangibility in order to transfer Fujin inside the Kamui dimension.
And the moment he did so, Homusubi used that opportunity to make the preplanned sneak attack.
Everything went smoothly, the sneak attack succeeded, and Obito was sealed into the Sword of Totsuka… but a small accident also happened.
Neither Fujin nor Homusubi expected that when Obito used Kamui on Fujin, the chakra of the two would be in a linked state.
And in this linked state, when Obito was sucked inside the Gourd of Sword of Totsuka, Fujin too was inexplicably involved and was also sucked inside Sword of Totsuka.
As a result, Homusubi is in a dilemma right now.
It hasn't been long since Homusubi obtained the Sword of Totsuka, and he is not proficient enough in using this Spiritual Artifact. Therefore, he is not certain if he can release Fujin while keeping the masked Uchiha sealed inside.
What to do now is a real problem, and since, there are no other members of Amatsukami around for him to consult to… so, he is not sure whether to release Fujin or not, after all, the masked Uchiha was successfully caught once does not mean he can be caught the second time…
…
At the edge of Konoha Village.
Looking at Obito was stabbed by a Red Chakra Sword and disappeared without a trace, Black Zetsu who was hidden in the shadows frowned, "This is troublesome… I didn't expect them to be able to find the Sword of Totsuka!"
The ignorant White Zetsu asked, "An attack of such a level shouldn't kill Obito, right?"
Black Zetsu said solemnly, "It wouldn't kill him, but the situation is more troublesome... Homusubi possesses the spiritual Artifact Sword of Totsuka… The Sword of Totsuka is a variant of the Kusanagi Sword with an enchanted blade capable of sealing the target it pierces. Those who are stabbed by the Sword of Totsuka are drawn into the Gourd and are trapped in a Genjutsu-like 'World of Drunken Dreams' for all eternity."
White Zetsu also realized the seriousness of the situation, and asked in surprise, "Does that mean Obito is sealed inside and will never be able to escape?"
"Most likely… Amatsukami has planned well, and used the perfect method to get rid of Obito… Sigh… I really didn't expect someone to be able to find this artefact in this era…" muttered Black Zetsu, and after a pause, he thought, 'Especially after I spent so much effort to get rid of all the records of Sword of Totsuka from the history of the Uchiha Clan… Damn it, even Madara was not able to find the Sword of Totsuka because I erased all the records… so how can Homusubi find it…!?'
White Zetsu asked in a depressed tone, "Then what should we do now?"
Black Zetsu said coldly, "Take control of Homusubi's consciousness, and then it would be possible to release Obito out of the Sword of Totsuka! But we can't approach that guy carelessly, Sword of Totsuka is dangerous…"
What Black Zetsu did not say was that he really did not want to get close to anyone who possesses Sword of Totsuka, because his previous experience when facing the user of Sword of Totsuka has not been very good as he was almost sealed by that Uchiha girl a few centuries ago.
A few centuries ago, Black Zetsu tried to use the reincarnation of Indra of that generation and guided him step by step so that he awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and then the Rinnegan… but the younger sister of that generation of Indra realized Black Zetsu's presence and his planning and tried to seal him inside the Sword of Totsuka using her own life force as a fuel…
Although she failed ultimately and died as a result, Black Zetsu had to pay a considerable price as well… and also lost the reincarnation of that generation of Indra in the process of escaping… At the same time, Black Zetsu also developed a psychological shadow against the Sword of Totsuka and realized that this artefact can threaten him.
That's why Black Zetsu did his best to get rid of all the clues and information related to the Sword of Totsuka from the records and the history of the Uchiha Clan so that no other Uchiha ever gets his hands on the Sword of Totsuka…
But it seems that luck is not on his side, and someone really managed to get his hands on Sword of Totsuka…
At the same time, Black Zetsu has also started to wonder if Homusubi of Amatsukami is a descendant of the Uchiha girl back then and has been hiding since then outside the clan…
'If Homusubi is really her descendant… then she definitely knows of my existence, as such, I really can't get close to Homusubi!' was the thought in Black Zetsu's mind.
