Chapter 465: Second Stage
Outside the battlefield, on a small path in the forest of the Land of Iron, the black-haired boy was traveling fast.
"Sasuke-nii..." Yoru shrank its head, nestled in Sasuke's arms and said, "I smell Sakura-nee's scent!"
Sasuke stopped.
The cold wind blew gently, and faint rumbling sounds could be heard.
Is it... the sound of battle?
Actually can be transmitted to such a distant place... Sasuke frowned slightly.
"There is also a scent a bit like yours, but I'm not too sure..." Yoru added.
"Is it me of this world?" Sasuke took Yoru and Abi out of his arms, put them on the ground, looked solemn, and said, "It's too dangerous ahead. You guys stop here... If needed, I will summon you."
At this distance, the huge chakra fluctuations of the battle breaking out in the distance could already be vaguely sensed.
Sakura... who exactly is she fighting with?
Actually fighting so fiercely!
He squatted down, touched Yoru and Abi, his eyes becoming gentle: "You guys be careful."
"Meow knows! Meow will definitely hide well! Sasuke-nii also be careful!" Yoru shrank its head and said.
"Sasuke-nii must remember to summon me meow!" Abi danced its claws and jumped in front of Yoru, "Don't summon Yoru over by mistake!"
Looking at the two ninja cats playing around, Sasuke couldn't help but smile.
"Then... I'll go first."
The boy withdrew his smile, stood up, looked into the distance silently, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
I'm coming to support you... Sakura!
In the next moment, Sasuke's figure flickered and disappeared in front of the ninja cats.
Yoru and Abi looked at each other, meowed, and also disappeared into the depths of the forest.
The forest path returned to quietness, leaving only a line of sparse footprints and the desolate winter wind.
About ten minutes later.
Kakashi and his group followed the same path and stopped here.
"Kakashi, they separated here. The ninja who looks very much like Sasuke continued forward, while the other two cats hid deep into the dense forest." Pakkun squatted on Kakashi's head, twitching his nose and said.
"Woof woof!" Akamaru made an echoing sound.
"Is that so..." Kakashi rubbed his chin and pondered.
The faint rumbling sound and looming chakra fluctuations coming with the cold wind made him somewhat concerned.
In the distance... what happened?
He had some impression of this kind of movement. In the war with the Stone Ninja back then, the super-large Earth Style released by the Stone Ninja sounded like this from a distance, along with the vaguely perceivable chakra fluctuations.
This is the aura of large-scale ninjutsu bombardment.
Many years have passed, and long-term peace has almost made Kakashi forget this aura. Didn't expect to relive it here again.
"Who and who are fighting over there? Where is that person trying to lead us?" Kakashi scratched his cheek, looking into the distance with a playful look.
Exchanging a glance with Yamato, Kakashi made a decision in his heart.
"Just in case, let's split up." The white-haired young man said seriously, "Lee, Kiba, and Sai, you follow Yamato to track those two ninja cats. Naruto and Sakura follow me to chase that mysterious ninja."
Kakashi always suspected that person was Sasuke.
So, when splitting up, he deliberately assigned Team 7 to the side tracking Sasuke... Maybe deep in Kakashi's heart, he also deeply hoped for Team 7 to reunite, right?
Of course, this way might very likely be an enemy trap. It's just that Kakashi was confident that the current three members of Team 7 had enough combat power to deal with most troubles in the ninja world...
"Yes!"
The ninja had no objection to Kakashi's allocation, nodded in unison, and with a few swish sounds, disappeared on the forest path one after another.
And at the destination of Sasuke and Kakashi's group, on the battlefield where Haruno Sakura was.
The conversation between Haruno Sakura and Obito Uchiha did not last too long.
"Oh... is that so?"
"Where does a guy like you who hides his head and tail get the confidence to say such words?" The girl laughed disdainfully, "Or do you think... hiding aside and thinking you saw through my moves gives you a big advantage?"
"Sharp-tongued bastard..." Obito narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming cold, "Don't think that collecting a pair of Shisui's Sharingan gives you the ability to be presumptuous in front of a real Uchiha!"
The same tone as the Sasuke of this world.
Haruno Sakura pursed her lips. What she hated most... was Obito's inexplicable sense of superiority always mentioning Uchiha!
"Heh..." Haruno Sakura couldn't be bothered to say anything more. She just raised her beautiful eyebrows and sneered.
"Whether I have the ability or not, you will know after fighting!"
After speaking, she stopped talking nonsense, put her hands together, and Senjutsu Chakra surged even more fiercely!
The overflowing chakra turned into bursts of strong wind, blowing the girl's long hair flying upwards. An awe-inspiring majestic aura rose abruptly; complex and solemn purple Sage Markings extended from her smooth forehead, adding a bit of stern and inviolable chilly aura to Haruno Sakura!
Almost simultaneously, the Majestic Attire God Warrior and the Majestic Attire Wood Golem moved.
Fist against fist.
Emerald green Wood Golem, cyan Susanoo gauntlet; dark red Giant God Warrior, dark green Majestic Attire armor.
Collided head-on hard!
The first round was the fierce collision of fists between the Majestic Attire God Warrior and the Majestic Attire Wood Golem. The momentum resounded through the clouds, and even the air was beaten out layers of transparent ripples by this blow!
The battle between the two entered the climax as soon as it started!
The battle of two giants abandoned all fancy tricks, discarded all ninjutsu, and only used the purest fist and foot skills to compete in strength.
Boom boom boom—!
Every blow was extremely heavy. Hitting the ground caused an earthquake and mountain shaking. Landing in the nearby lake stirred up huge waves. Hitting each other's bodies turned into dull loud noises echoing in the clouds!
Whether it was Haruno Sakura's Majestic Attire God Warrior or Obito's Majestic Attire Wood Golem, they were huge existences capable of pulling up mountains and overturning seas. Fighting on this land of the Land of Iron, after a few moves, they thoroughly plowed the terrain here. Mountains and rivers quickly became fragmented and unrecognizable under the collision of ninjutsu of this level!
And in this hand-to-hand combat where fists hit flesh, the one who fell into a disadvantage first was actually not Haruno Sakura who had fought continuously for three battles.
But Obito Uchiha.
Bang—!
Haruno Sakura drove the Majestic Attire God Warrior to step forward, a precise uppercut bypassing the defense, punching the Wood Golem's abdomen, knocking its defense wide open!
"Bad!" Obito's face changed slightly. Before he had time to respond, the Giant God Warrior's fists rained down like raindrops!
"Taijutsu: Chain Vertical Punches!"
Moves inclined towards the explosion of one-inch punch and continuous short-range fist force. Even in the world without supernatural abilities in her previous life, top martial artists and boxers could use this to throw more than ten light punches per second! And used by the Majestic Attire God Warrior, the chain punches were as heavy as a big mountain falling down!
Boom!
Wood chips flew, Susanoo armor shattered piece by piece. The Majestic Attire Wood Golem flew backwards with a crash, dragging a long gully on the ground.
"Madara Uchiha... was beaten down?"
Karin hiding aside was startled, a bit incredulous, widening her eyes to look over.
"Beaten upside down, Madara Uchiha."
Haruno Sakura manipulated the Giant God Warrior to walk forward unhurriedly, the corner of her mouth slightly hooked up.
Obito emerged unharmed from the Wood Golem, his face a bit gloomy.
Because he only had one Mangekyo Sharingan, he couldn't perform Susanoo normally, and could only cleverly turn Susanoo into armor covering the Wood Golem. The various subtleties of Susanoo couldn't be displayed at all, so compared to the Majestic Attire God Warrior used by Haruno Sakura with two Mangekyo, the strength of the Majestic Attire Wood Golem was obviously weaker by a notch.
Moreover, the latter's Majestic Attire God Warrior also used the power of Senjutsu.
And the pink muscles on the Giant God Warrior were also very strange. They looked soft, but when the Wood Golem's fist hit them, they felt abnormally hard, and the more force exerted, the harder it felt when hitting the Giant God Warrior!
Of course, more importantly, Obito's fighting style was not the head-on type itself.
At least not before obtaining the Rinnegan.
Because he rarely confronted people head-on, Obito's taijutsu level was actually not particularly brilliant, leading to the Majestic Attire Wood Golem's fist and foot skills also being weaker than the Giant God Warrior; facing an opponent with stronger strength and speed, if he couldn't dodge freely, this shortcoming would be exposed thoroughly...
"You are not as powerful as imagined..." Haruno Sakura looked down at him and said lightly, "You are not Madara Uchiha."
"Ha! Who knows?" Obito smiled indifferently, "And, the battle has just begun... asserting whether I am powerful or not, it's still too early now!"
"Oh... is that so?"
Haruno Sakura's eyes were cold, her wrist lifted lightly, and the Majestic Attire God Warrior stepped fiercely on the Wood Golem!
With a muffled crack, the Wood Golem, having lost its Susanoo armor, was actually stepped through by this foot, and the wooden body burst abruptly!
And Obito had already turned intangible, avoiding this blow, letting Haruno Sakura destroy it.
"That's right... the second stage, is just starting now!" Under the mask, a sneer hung on the corner of Obito's mouth, saying in a deep voice.
While speaking, the man's figure suddenly blurred, disappearing into the air, then suddenly, appearing beside Haruno Sakura like a ghost!
The air beside the girl twisted into a vortex without warning, and Obito's figure emerged abruptly from the vortex, reaching out towards Haruno Sakura's shoulder!
"Mangekyo Secret Technique: Kamui!"
Obito's Sharingan secret technique Kamui could suck the enemy into a different dimension, banishing them permanently. It is an uncrackable super-strong ninjutsu.
However, the strongest point of this move is its super-fast casting speed.
"So fast!"
Karin, still secretly peeping at the battlefield from outside, exclaimed!
Almost in the blink of an eye, Obito disappeared from under the Giant God Warrior's feet and appeared beside Haruno Sakura instantly; that man's Body Flicker Jutsu was really too fast, even a few points faster than Haruno Sakura's Ice Body Flicker just now!
"Haruno Sakura can't dodge..."
Karin gazed intently, saying silently.
"Got her...!"
A sneer hooked up on the corner of Obito's mouth, as if seeing the scene of Haruno Sakura being sucked into the different dimension with a panicked and stunned expression.
However, Haruno Sakura was not surprised.
As if expecting it, she turned her head calmly, her expression indifferent.
"Is it this move again?"
On the girl's hands, seals were prepared long ago.
"Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!"
