Obito roared, and the massive Susanoo swung another blade fiercely towards Takemi.
Boom!
His power was pushed to its limit, and even space became incredibly distorted at that moment.
The immense power instantly made the already crumbling earth resemble tofu, dust billowed, and giant rocks flew.
This sudden strike made everyone's hearts pound with worry. No matter who took this hit, they would surely die.
But strangely, Obito's expression seemed somewhat grave, and even Madara's expression at that moment was one of shock.
"Susanoo's power is indeed formidable, truly worthy of being the Uchiha clan's ultimate power."
Takemi's voice slowly echoed from within the dust. Obito gritted his teeth, controlling Susanoo to move its blade away. But he was shocked to find he couldn't do it, and his movement caused the dust to dissipate.
"That is..."
Everyone saw that Takemi was now actually standing on Susanoo's giant blade, and his voice was so calm it sent chills down their spines.
"It's just that the speed isn't that great, and I've always been curious about one thing..."
Buzz!
In an instant, Takemi leaped up. He was terrifyingly fast, like lightning. By the time Obito realized it, he was already at eye level with Obito.
"Is Susanoo's defense truly as strong as the legends say?"
Obito's expression changed drastically, he immediately controlled Susanoo to defend. He didn't know what Takemi was going to do, but he felt a real sense of danger.
"This brat..."
Madara instinctively sensed something was wrong, but he had no time to react. He just watched as Takemi's speed burst forth once more.
Whoosh—
The ghostly figure spun in mid-air, and in the next instant, suddenly accelerated, breaking through Susanoo's defense.
Crack—
Accompanied by a crisp sound like breaking glass, the Susanoo's crystal chamber shattered, and Takemi was in front of Obito.
"Damn it!"
Obito's face changed drastically. He hadn't expected Susanoo to be shattered in an instant. He wanted to use Kamui, but Takemi was too fast, giving him no chance whatsoever.
Thud!
With a dull thud, Takemi had already kicked him heavily. He felt as if his bones were about to shatter. The immense force and extreme pain contorted his face.
He was instantly sent flying backward, and the massive Susanoo collapsed on the spot.
Blue Chakra continuously dispersed, and the demon that had brought immense destruction to Iwagakure thus began to dissipate.
Ōnoki and the others in the distance were dumbfounded. They couldn't imagine what was happening.
Such a giant monster was actually destroyed just like that?
"What kind of power is this?"
And another person who couldn't understand was Obito. His body slammed heavily into the ground like a cannonball, then continuously rolled backward.
The roadside rubble and house ruins were instantly crushed by him. His head was buzzing, and he, too, couldn't understand one thing right now.
"I've grown. Under Rin's encouragement, I've gained even greater power..."
"But..."
"Why is it like this again?!"
Obito's mindset was on the verge of collapse.
The more confident he had been and the harsher he had cursed just now, the more distressed he felt inside. He seemed to empathize with Nagato now, because he, too, was lost.
Although he had been repeatedly defeated and tormented by Takemi all these years, he had always felt that he was different from Nagato. After all, Nagato was just a pawn, and those Rinnegan were not even Nagato's.
But I'm different.
Obito truly felt he was different. His current state seemed to have genuinely activated the 'Power of All Creation'. He felt this was Rin's blessing and help to him. And the Perfect Susanoo had given him enough confidence.
But now he was stunned. Takemi had actually shattered his Susanoo with just physical strength.
He had shattered his Perfect Susanoo, the one that had thrown Iwagakure into chaos, made Ōnoki and Deidara extremely frustrated, and was on the same level as Madara.
'Why is this happening?'
Obito roared inwardly, and Ōnoki and Jiraiya were also dumbfounded.
That demon rampaging through Iwagakure was shattered just like that?
"That guy, he's actually that strong…"
Naruto gulped. He found that his parents inside him were silent, seemingly not understanding what was going on either.
"Senpai… is he that strong?"
Sasuke also murmured, genuinely stunned.
Such a massive Susanoo filled him with fear, yet also ignited a yearning within him. But he hadn't expected that Susanoo would be so vulnerable against Takemi?
"It seems that kid really pulled off Yin-Yang Release."
Just then, Jiraiya spoke, which brought Ōnoki, who had been in a daze, back to his senses.
He knew Takemi was strong, but he hadn't expected him to be so strong, nor had he expected the Asura-like Susanoo to be so fragile.
Seeing the Susanoo, which had terrified him his whole life, shattered like this, Jiraiya seemed to give him an answer, but it only made him more incredulous.
"Yin-Yang Release? How could that be? Isn't that a legendary power? Can someone really achieve it?"
"Tch, Takemi was never ordinary."
Deidara muttered softly, but Kurotsuchi pulled him back, while Jiraiya shook his head, following up on his words.
"Indeed, Takemi is truly extraordinary, and he's been trying Yin-Yang Release for a long time, he was even close to completing it, but I never expected…"
He never expected him to have achieved it so quickly?!
And Madara was also someone who understood what was happening.
"It really is the power of Yin-Yang Release, that brat…"
He himself knew how strong Susanoo was, but comparatively, Yin-Yang Release was even more terrifying. That was the power of the Sage of Six Paths.
'But how did this kid obtain such power? Is he really a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths's brother?'
Madara was a little confused, but seeing Takemi move again, he knew he couldn't think any longer.
'Damn it, Obito can't die yet, at least his current power is still very useful.'
Madara immediately controlled Susanoo to turn around and leave, but Takemi was too fast.
In an instant, he had already passed through the Chakra left by the shattered Susanoo, and was heading towards Obito.
"Hmm?"
Obito was still coughing blood and 'reflecting', but in an instant, he saw Takemi charging towards him.
'He wants to wipe me out completely?'
Cold sweat broke out on Obito's back. Looking at Takemi, who was constantly approaching, his Sharingan spun frantically.
Pfft—
Accompanied by the sound of metal piercing flesh, Takemi stopped in front of Obito, but his gaze held a hint of regret. He looked at the blood gushing from the ground and the gasping Obito, slowly retracting the short blade in his hand.
"You dodge really fast, you loach."
Suddenly, Takemi spoke, but his words made Obito's breathing become even more rapid.
"But dealing with you is very simple, isn't it, ant?"
Obito's body couldn't help but tremble, weren't these the very words he had just roared at Takemi?
And they were being sent back to him, exactly as they were?
Moreover, Takemi's words were even more hurtful.
Buzz—
But at this very moment, Takemi leaped up, because Madara had already arrived.
"Hmph!"
Madara was not Obito. His control over Susanoo had long reached another level. His Susanoo continuously wielded its blade, and its violent power shook the entire area.
The mountains of the Land of Earth trembled and swayed violently at this moment, and everything in Iwagakure became even more dilapidated.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
The tremendous tremors, accompanied by sky-high dust, swept in all directions.
Even those who had already fled far away were now struggling to stand upright.
The earth-shattering tremors, mixed with seemingly endless energy and obscured debris, covered them in dust as they approached.
Not to mention the invisible energy shockwaves, which brought them great misfortune.
"What kind of battle is this…"
The Iwagakure ninjas had never experienced such a scene.
They watched Madara's Susanoo fly in the air, continuously unleashing energy.
Now they dared not even imagine what would happen to those who had not yet evacuated. They only wished this nightmare would end soon, it was simply too terrifying
Jiraiya and the others, however, were relatively calm, as they had seen such things frequently in Konoha.
This wealth of experience made it difficult for them to panic. They were only more concerned about Takemi's situation.
"Takemi should be fine, right?"
Minato and Kushina within Naruto were somewhat worried, and besides worrying about Takemi, they were also worried about Naruto.
Obito seemed stronger than imagined, and Naruto also seemed to be having some difficulty dealing with him.
Moreover, Naruto couldn't always rely on Takemi, could he?
After an unknown amount of time, Madara finally stopped. He remained suspended in mid-air within Susanoo. His crimson eyes constantly scanned the battlefield. He was unsure if Takemi had already left using Flying Thunder God.
But slowly, his expression began to grow solemn, because he sensed Takemi's Chakra right there.
