"You really don't feel embarrassed saying such ridiculous words!"
After hearing Obito's words, Kazahana Doto laughed angrily.
"Then I just have to kill you and take the item. It'll be over!"
"I'll let you see the masterpiece of the Land of Snow!"
After speaking, he raised his hands, quickly forming seals, and then shouted with a cruel smile:
"Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard!"
As he punched forward, a black dragon composed of wind and snow roared toward Obito and Koyuki.
Obito raised an eyebrow.
Ice Release? he thought. In essence, this is just Wind Release with a fancy coat of frost...
His Sharingan clearly tracked the chakra condensation and release throughout the process. Internally, he sighed at how predictable it was.
Without rushing, Obito lifted Koyuki into his arms. Just as the black dragon was about to strike them, his figure flickered and disappeared.
Boom!
The dragon smashed into the ground and exploded, sending frost and snow spraying everywhere, obscuring the hall in white haze.
"It's over," Doto said proudly, watching the frost settle.
But just as he stepped forward to search for the item, a voice rang out:
"That's it?"
"What?!"
Doto snapped his head up. The spot where he attacked was empty, nothing but frost and shattered tiles.
Then he heard the voice again, from above.
Obito sat casually on a ceiling beam, Koyuki in one arm, both of them completely unharmed.
"Is that the only toy you're proud of?"
"It's funny how you said 'it's over' with no shame. Clown."
His tone was pure mockery, playful and cutting.
"Damn it!"
Enraged, Doto flew through seals again.
"Ice Release: Double Dragon Blizzard!"
Two black dragons burst from his hands, one left and one right, smashing toward the beam.
Boom!
The dragons tore through the ceiling, collapsing beams and sending rubble raining down. Dust and snow filled the air.
"It's really over this time! No matter who you are, you're done!"
"Hahahaha!" Doto laughed wildly.
"...Should I pretend to be dead a little longer so you can enjoy your delusion?"
Obito's voice echoed again, and Doto's laughter stopped cold.
Da... da... da...
Obito walked slowly from the shadows on the opposite side, Koyuki still in his arms.
"I said it before," he said, voice dripping with mockery, "don't you feel ashamed? I'm getting second-hand embarrassment for you."
"That's all you've got? Not even fun after the warm-up stage. Clown."
He gently patted the back of Koyuki's head.
The girl clung to his neck, face pale, still trembling from the two attacks.
"If you're scared, close your eyes," Obito said softly.
"Mm…"
She buried her face in his neck and tightened her grip, shutting her eyes.
Doto hesitated, his face twisted. Finally, he gritted his teeth and barked:
"Boy… who are you?!"
"What's the matter? You expect me to reveal my identity and abilities just because you asked?"
Obito's mockery was relentless.
The insult ignited Doto's rage once more. He charged, chakra armor gleaming.
"Boy, it seems you really want to die!"
He raised a massive arm and swung it down like a hammer.
Bang!
The floor shattered, tiles exploding into shards.
But Doto froze.
He didn't hit anything.
Now he understood...Obito was faster than his eyes could follow.
Above him, Obito appeared in midair, holding Koyuki in one hand and pressing the other to Doto's back. He spun, driving his knee down.
BAM!
Obito's knee smashed into Doto's face. The force distorted his features as he flew backward like a ragdoll. A black pentagram flashed across his back.
Crash!
Doto spun through the air and slammed into the wall, breaking it into a gaping hole before collapsing to the ground with a heavy thud.
Obito tilted his head.
"Well damn… That didn't kill you, right? Otherwise, this would get boring fast. Show me that 'masterpiece' you keep bragging about."
He had deliberately held back. Killing this clown too soon would ruin the fun.
Koyuki peeked up from his arms and saw Doto crumpled on the floor, joy flashing in her eyes.
Cough… cough… cough…
Wobbling, Doto staggered to his feet.
"Wow, pretty durable," Obito said with mild surprise.
"Whew… Hahahaha!" Doto's swollen, bruised face twisted into a grin.
"With chakra armor… you can't kill me! Hahaha!"
"Oh?"
Obito raised a brow. He gently set Koyuki down and lifted his right hand.
"I think you've got a terrible misunderstanding… which makes me want to laugh and kill you at the same time. Did you really think you were stronger just because I felt like playing cat and mouse?"
Chakra spiraled in his palm, quickly forming a large blue sphere.
Doto sneered at the sight.
"Hmph! With my armor, that ninjutsu is useless!"
"Huh. Really?"
Obito smirked, flickered out of sight, and reappeared in front of him.
"Big Ball Rasengan!"
