The overwhelming pressure of the sword strike was supreme. Under the dim sky, it left only a single horizontal slash, yet it possessed a might that surpassed even Obito's pale blue Susanoo! The gale kicked up by the slash howled. Kakashi shielded his face with his elbow, struggling to watch the scene above, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"This level of attack... Damn it! The gap between us is this huge!" Asuma was also hunched over, staring at the sword strike above, his cigarette clenched tightly in his teeth in frustration. He had watched Kusuo grow up step by step. Although he hadn't provided any help in the process—Kusuo had done it all on his own—Asuma had never slacked off, gritting his teeth and trying to keep up with even a fraction of his student's progress. But alas, the gap only grew wider.
"Captain Kakashi! Captain Asuma! We need to retreat! It's too dangerous here! There's a canyon behind us where we can take shelter and observe the battle," a few Anbu members suggested, struggling against the wind.
"Let's fall back!" Kakashi and Asuma exchanged a look and immediately gave the order.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A dozen figures moved with swift agility, completely retreating in a short amount of time. They were all elite ninja of Konoha, but here, they could only look up at the powerhouses on the two statues with a sense of awe and helplessness! The disparity in strength was enough to instill a bit of despair in their hearts!
CRACK-BOOM!
The sword energy slammed into Obito's Susanoo. The latter was full of confidence, refusing to believe that Kusuo could shatter his proud Susanoo with a single strike. This was the ultimate secret of the Uchiha clan, the dōjutsu that symbolized destruction and ruin. How could it be broken so easily!?
However...
CRACKLE—
A crisp sound made the expression on Obito's face freeze, then turn to astonishment. He stared in shock at the lower half of his Susanoo, which had been cleanly sliced off by Kusuo's sword.
"How... How is this possible?" Obito roared in disbelief. He couldn't accept this reality.
Kusuo raised his sword towards him, his voice cool. "Go back. You're no match for me right now." He planned to nurture Obito, to let him grow into a super-Kage level powerhouse, and then slaughter him. Otherwise, even if he went through all the trouble to kill him now, the increase to his system's synchronization rate would be minimal.
That's right. Kage-level, the highest combat power of a village, was no longer worthy of his attention!
"Insolent!" Obito glared back at Kusuo viciously. He clasped his hands together, channeling his chakra to regenerate the body of his Susanoo. With a great flap of its wings, a circular shockwave expanded from its feet.
BOOM!
The giant statue of Madara Uchiha shattered on impact. The tall, majestic, pale blue, semi-complete Susanoo soared high into the sky, looking imposing.
Kusuo sneered, finding Obito's arrogant expression laughable. He was constantly using Madara Uchiha's name, yet he had just carelessly shattered his statue. If Madara knew, wouldn't he claw his way out of his coffin!? Speaking of which, Madara's body should have been acquired by Kabuto or Orochimaru by now. According to the timeline, that should be the case. He just didn't know if Kabuto would still go down the crazy path of imitating his revered master, Orochimaru.
Looking up, Kusuo didn't waste any more words and raised his hand for another slash. Another massive sword strike cut through the air. This time, Obito was prepared. He no longer dared to take the hit head-on with his Susanoo. He controlled the Susanoo to dodge, and with a flap of its giant wings, Kusuo's incredibly fast sword strike merely grazed its foot. The glowing blue chakra foot fell through the air and then dissipated into light.
"Is that all you have?" Obito seemed to have noticed that Kusuo's methods were one-dimensional, his only means of attack being the continuous slashes from his sword. While troublesome, it gave him a glimmer of hope for victory.
"Your slashes are indeed unparalleled in the ninja world," he said confidently. "Their power, speed, and range are all impeccable. In that regard, I'll call you the strongest! However!" Obito's tone shifted. "No matter how strong your sword strike is, what good is it if it can't hit my body?"
He suddenly burst into wild laughter, his face狰狞 and triumphant. "My dual Kamui, enhanced by Hashirama Cells, can continuously use space-time ninjutsu to enter a special dimension. Whether it's taijutsu, ninjutsu, or shuriken tricks, no method can hit my true body! Despair! You mortals, suffering and barely surviving in this false and deceitful world! Until one day—I will end it all and create a perfect, happy, new world!"
Obito spoke to himself, growing more and more excited.
Far away, the Konoha ninja hiding in the canyon had already sent intel back to the village. Against an enemy of this level, their dozen members were not enough. At the very least, Lady Hokage, Princess Tsunade, and Lord Jiraiya had to be present. With them joining forces with Lord Kusuo, they could surely bring this mysterious Uchiha remnant to justice! They even dismissed Obito's speech as the ravings of a deranged, chunibyo teenager. What false world? What creating a new, perfect world? They didn't understand.
Only Kakashi's eyes were filled with suspicion and pain. Only he could vaguely grasp the meaning behind Obito's words. However, even Kakashi couldn't guess what Obito was truly planning.
A giant yellow flare and a reverse summoning jutsu had already relayed the message back to the village. Tsunade and Jiraiya were on their way.
Kusuo stood on the head of the First Hokage's giant statue, his expression neutral. He was the only one present who fully understood Obito's words. But honestly, knowing the whole story, he felt no sympathy. In fact, he almost wanted to laugh. Perhaps this was the tragedy of a desperate simp combined with a sad tool?
In the sky, the severed right foot of Obito's Susanoo had regenerated. From within the diamond-shaped crystal at its forehead, Obito, having finished his chunibyo speech, gave a cold look!
"Kamui Shuriken!"
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
The giant semi-complete Susanoo suddenly launched two massive shuriken from its hands. They shot towards Kusuo's position at lightning speed. Kakashi, Asuma, and the others watched nervously. However, just as they were concentrating on the rapidly approaching shuriken, thinking of how to stop them, the shuriken... suddenly vanished!
