Chapter 285: I, Uchiha Madara, am alive! (3K+)
Bai Cangshu touched his lower abdomen, where the flesh seemed to have been gouged out of thin air.
This kind of injury was far more difficult to deal with than a typical cut or tear, and even for an extraordinary being like him with high-speed regeneration, it would consume more energy.
Of course, with Bai Cangshu's current extraordinary bloodline characteristics of [Intermediate Immortality] combined with [High-Speed Regeneration], this kind of attack was not fatal at all.
Just in the few seconds after falling from the sky, his shoulder, which had been annihilated by Dust Release, and the parts that had disappeared due to Kamui, had already begun to regenerate; bones and flesh had already appeared, and one could still see granulation tissue on the flesh constantly weaving new skin.
Uchiha Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan evidently possessed excellent perception. He frowned; Tao Bai Bai's body could no longer be called human. This healing ability was perhaps comparable to what Senju Hashirama once possessed.
But even with this ability, for the current Obito, it no longer instilled fear in him.
He lowered his head, not looking at Tao Bai Bai, but immersing himself in the surging emotions.
It turned out that not only was he trapped on that day, but the once brilliant genius, Kakashi, was also trapped in the past by him and Rin.
Obito looked at the blood on his palm, a momentary blankness on his face.
Pfft!
A burst of force tore through the air, piercing Obito's body and creating a hole in the tree trunk.
Uchiha Obito's body was completely unaffected by this attack. He merely raised his head and looked at Bai Cangshu coldly.
"Tao Bai Bai, you who have never experienced such pain, surely cannot understand my desire to recreate a world..."
Bai Cangshu saw Uchiha Obito's seemingly invincible posture, and his complete immersion in his own emotional world, even feeling sad for himself because he had killed his own friend...
This level of self-absorption, bordering on narcissism, made his lips curl into a smile.
"Tsk, you were too weak to save the woman you loved, and you killed your best friend in pursuit of power, yet you still only feel a sadness as if the world has betrayed you... Ha, Uchiha Obito, you truly are an interesting fellow."
Bai Cangshu's body had now fully recovered. He put his hands in his pockets, his tall body leaning slightly forward, his feet gripping the ground. He was using this method to activate all his muscles.
"And, if you truly wanted that woman so badly, couldn't you just use Impure World Reincarnation to call her back from the Pure Land? The art of resurrection in this world isn't non-existent, is it?"
Bai Cangshu's tone was casual, but Uchiha Obito's face gradually darkened.
What he disliked most was Tao Bai Bai's flippancy, treating everyone's pain as nothing. Although he enjoyed teasing others flippantly when playing Tobi, when it came to his and Rin's matters, being ridiculed like this made Tao Bai Bai's existence incredibly grating.
Uchiha Obito finally turned around, his eyes focusing on Tao Bai Bai.
"Tao Bai Bai, put away your arrogant demeanor. Don't you understand? The current me..."
Obito spread his hands, seemingly wanting to display his power.
But Bai Cangshu directly interrupted him, continuing his sarcastic remarks with an exaggerated tone.
"Doesn't the Reincarnation Eye possess the power to reverse life and death...?"
"Orochimaru, who controls Impure World Reincarnation, and Nagato, who now possesses the Reincarnation Eye, are both under your surveillance. You never thought of resurrecting the real Rin, but instead, you're thinking of using Infinite Tsukuyomi to make yourself have a beautiful dream, tsk..."
Veins were already bulging on Obito's forehead, and the pupil power in his eyes was stronger than ever. But the more he showed this expression, the more delighted Bai Cangshu became, continuing to "dance on a minefield."
"I say, is it because you yourself know that Rin never liked you, and would never accept everything you've done after her death, thinking it was for her?"
"Heh, how truly pathetic..."
Buzz!
No longer able to endure, Uchiha Obito's eyes narrowed. The shuriken-like Mangekyo Sharingan instantly focused, and the space where Bai Cangshu's head was located instantly twisted.
As the true owner of these eyes, Obito's speed in distorting space with Kamui was much faster than Hatake Kakashi's.
But Bai Cangshu still disappeared instantly. His instant state had not yet ended; his speed had long exceeded the threshold of a Wind Demon. With just a backward lean, he vanished into the wind.
The spatial distortion attack only took a few strands of his hair.
Bai Cangshu drifted in the wind, and Uchiha Obito's pupils trembled slightly. His Mangekyo Sharingan completely locked onto the surrounding space.
Undeniably, with the enhancement of the Twin Kamui Mangekyo, Uchiha Obito's combat power instantly soared to a level almost surpassing all existing Kage-level ninjas.
And due to Kamui's high priority and the special nature of space-type abilities, even beings with greater combat power would find it difficult to defeat him.
In the strong wind, leg shadows occasionally pierced through Obito's body, but even a high-speed attack technique like the Wind God Kick still carried the possibility of being countered by Kamui during the attack.
After reclaiming Kakashi's eye, Obito was already able to use Kamui to attack while in his ethereal state. He no longer had any weaknesses.
It could be said that at this moment, Uchiha Obito was invincible against normal attacks in this world.
Except for those truly Six Paths Level individuals, even the current Bai Cangshu could not break through Obito's Twin Kamui.
Although Bai Cangshu knew that Twin Kamui consumed a lot of Chakra, Uchiha Obito, possessing Hashirama cells, could sustain about 10 minutes of combat. This duration allowed him to advance and retreat freely, with the initiative always in Obito's hands.
Bai Cangshu appeared from the wind, suddenly beckoned to Obito, then turned and flashed towards the distant area where golden light almost completely illuminated the mountains.
To reduce consumption, Obito attacked a few times with Wood Release, but it couldn't cause much impact on Tao Bai Bai. He now understood that Tao Bai Bai must be trying to use that giant monster to fight him.
However, for him, who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, the Eight-tailed Ox Ghost present on that battlefield was also a combat force within his grasp.
Moreover, to preserve the possibility of continuing the Eye of the Moon Plan, the Eight-tailed Ox Ghost absolutely could not be devoured by the Golden Tree again.
He had to go to this battle.
Uchiha Obito leaped, keeping pace with Tao Bai Bai, and quickly returned to the chaotic battlefield, where the scent of blood in the center of the battlefield was already quite strong.
The golden law faction warriors, composed of ordinary people and ninjas from various small villages, did not evade like the Iwa Village ninjas. They were directly affected by the Elden Beast's massive area-of-effect incantation.
Subsequently, they were trampled by the Ox Ghost and swept by the attacks of the Fourth Raikage and the giant beast, resulting in almost complete annihilation.
The Konoha ninjas and residents had now filled the void, appearing on the front lines.
Uchiha Obito looked at the ninjas who had lost their fear of death under the golden law, his eyes growing colder.
"You should know, Tao Bai Bai, that this level of opponent is useless against me."
He saw the Hyuga Clan ninjas in the crowd, and he also saw the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan, but he just stood there, wanting to know what Tao Bai Bai's purpose was.
Bai Cangshu stomped a few times in the air, appearing from mid-air and slowly descending. He clearly saw the two factions on the field, then, with a cruel smile, Bai Cangshu closed his eyes.
The next moment, dark Yin Spirits continuously appeared on his face, and his state began to flicker erratically.
Uchiha Obito frowned, about to launch an attack, but then he suddenly saw Tao Bai Bai open his eyes again.
Those eyes initially held a hint of distraction, but very quickly, the joy and madness in them became fully apparent.
"Hahahahaha~ Hahahaha..."
That loud laughter made Obito sense a familiarity, a feeling that inexplicably sent shivers down his spine.
His left eye narrowed, and the twisted space instantly severed Tao Bai Bai's right arm. Amidst the spurting blood, the other party laughed even more wildly.
"This blood, this pain... This is the taste of being alive!"
The tingling sensation as the arm muscles rapidly regenerated made Uchiha Madara realize the power of this body once again.
This was a body even stronger than his ninja physique that had dominated the Warring States period. He instinctively wanted to gather Chakra, but the right half of his face unconsciously changed expression.
"Hey, hey, hey, that big laughing brother, your smile is a bit too hearty, isn't it...?"
Amidst the light complaint, eyes like a blue sky and white clouds appeared in his right eye.
Uchiha Madara's smile gradually faded. He could not tolerate the fact that he had to share a body with someone else.
His eyes shifted, and the next moment, he lowered his body and instantly lunged into the Konoha ninja crowd. As a large number of kunai and ninjutsu assailed him, Uchiha Madara skillfully dodged, only to find that this body's speed and strength far exceeded imagination.
So much so that he didn't need to use ninjutsu; simple taijutsu could easily kill enemies.
He charged from in front of an Uchiha ninja; the frequency of the opponent's two-tomoe Sharingan shaking allowed Uchiha Madara to judge the opponent's thoughts. He simply made a misdirection, deceiving the opponent, then severed the opponent's cervical spine with a hand chop.
He casually plucked out the opponent's eyes.
"Tsk, are your clan's eyes so convenient to use?"
Since two souls were currently squeezed onto the Heart Throne, they could almost read each other's thoughts. Gojo Satoru complained again.
At the same time, he also felt some regret. He clearly knew that guy couldn't show such a flaw, yet he still fell for it.
Indeed, his host was not someone easy to deal with; the flaw he showed was a trap. The other party probably deliberately released him and this Uchiha Madara.
And both of them were pressed onto this Heart Throne.
There was no possibility of a solo takeover, but precisely, in the current situation, it seemed impossible for the two of them not to follow the other party's wishes, not to have a big fight.
In a short time, Gojo Satoru had already realized that, apart from the two giant monsters still fighting, everyone else's gaze was focused on him.
Especially that guy with the crimson eyes, his gaze at him was mixed with distrust and fear.
Before Gojo Satoru could speak, Uchiha Madara once again seized control of the voice.
"Obito, as you can see, I, Uchiha Madara, am alive."
