A small dark red ball formed at Hatake Satoru's fingertips, and the moment he pointed down, it burst into a blinding flash of light.
A beam of energy cut through the night, shooting straight at the Tailed Beast Bomb!
The huge blast hit the bomb head-on, and their collision sent out shockwaves that rippled through the air.
The ground around them exploded upward, chunks of dirt and trees thrown out by the blast like a storm.
The beam pierced through the bomb and slammed into the ground.
The explosion and the beam drilling into the ground shook the whole area.
The earth under everyone's feet trembled like an earthquake. Most people had to drop to the ground, staring in shock at the center of the blast.
In the middle of all the chaos, a masked man suddenly appeared out of nowhere, calmly standing on the shaking ground.
Members of the Kaguya clan were scattered nearby, and they immediately noticed the sudden arrival of the man.
And in a moment like this, who could be weirder than someone who just appeared from thin air?
"Who are you?!"
"Showing up now? That can't be anything good!"
The Kaguya clan didn't bother thinking too much. If someone looked suspicious, they attacked.
The Mizukage was trying to wipe them out, so no one knew if this person was friend or foe.
As soon as Obito landed, the smoke around him was sliced open—three sharp, bone-white blades slashed toward him.
Obito, who had been controlling Yagura for a while, saw their clothes and faces and immediately figured out who they were.
"You annoying pests are still alive?"
Obito let out a cold snort.
His red Sharingan lit up behind the mask, and all three bone blades missed their target at the same time.
Even though the strikes had clearly landed!
Their eyes widened in shock, pupils shrinking in disbelief.
But Obito was like a ghost—his body sank into the ground where the blades hit.
They even slashed through his mask, but there was no feeling of hitting anything real!
"!?"
"What's going on!? I can't land a hit on him!?"
"I already…"
A wave of fear suddenly swept over the three of them. This guy was about to fight back.
That red Sharingan eye lifted instantly, and just as the white bones in their bodies were about to pierce through their skin—
Obito suddenly raised his hand and swatted the three of them aside. His sleeve was torn open, and dark, sharp wooden spikes burst out of his arm.
The moment the wood spikes touched the three of them, they quickly grew from the inside of their bodies and pierced straight through them.
Before their bones could even fully push through their skin, their eyes widened in shock, and they dropped to the ground with a heavy thud.
The strong smell of blood quickly spread through the air.
After finishing off the small fry, Obito briefly looked around at the battlefield.
Yagura had already gone berserk as the Three-Tails, and the one leading most of the fight now was clearly—Genji.
Obito's eyes darkened. That old man had been pretending to lay low this whole time.
No matter what Yagura did, that old man always went along with it, never opposing anything.
Obito had thought the guy would behave. He didn't expect him to stir up trouble at a time like this.
Now it seemed leaving him alive had been a mistake.
Old guys really are a pain.
Obito clicked his tongue in his mind and quickly dashed through the battlefield, heading straight toward Genji.
Ao, who was scanning the battlefield, instantly locked on to Obito's sudden dash.
There was no attempt to hide his killing intent or his clear target.
"Protect Genji-sama!"
"Stop him!"
Ao quickly jumped in front of Genji and shouted at the Anbu nearby.
"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!"
Anbu members from all directions spat out streams of water like waterfalls, forming a thick wall of water in front of Obito.
Obito didn't even slow down. He didn't even glance at the jutsu users to the side.
His body passed through the water wall like it wasn't even there, as if he had no physical form—like a ghost.
Obito casually reached out to the side, and a solid wooden spike grew from his palm.
It shot straight into the stunned jutsu user, piercing him from the inside out like a human pincushion.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Bullet!"
"Water Style: Giant Waterfall Technique!"
A barrage of attacks came flying at Obito from every direction.
He walked right through them without a scratch, barely slowed down at all!
Anbu quickly surrounded him from all sides.
But it was all pointless. Obito looked around at the Kirigakure Anbu closing in on him, his face completely blank.
"Wood Style: Hell's Chaos!"
At Obito's low shout, the ground began to shake. In the split-second that the Kirigakure Anbu hesitated, massive tree-like thorns shot up from the ground.
The Anbu were instantly caught by the twisting, growing branches.
With a sharp sound, the spikes dug in and squeezed tight.
A spray of bright red blood burst from the trees all around.
"How is this possible!?"
"None of our attacks work on him!?"
Even though Ao and Genji were doing their best to run as far away as possible, Obito's flickering figure kept appearing behind them—getting closer and closer
Ao quickly looked back and saw the sudden forest of thorny trees and the falling rain of blood.
Even the Anbu's mask had been torn to pieces and dropped to the ground with a *clack*.
His heart skipped a beat in fear.
Obito's figure flashed past his eyes and appeared right in front of them!
Just as Obito reached out toward Genjin, his movement suddenly paused, and the growing wooden spikes stopped as well.
Something had gone wrong on Yagura's side!
Obito clicked his tongue in annoyance and vanished into a swirling vortex.
"Huff... huff..."
Genjin, who had almost been pierced by the Wood Style, fell straight to the ground, no longer caring about his dignity.
He had never been this close to death before. Not even when Yagura was under mind control had he felt this terrified!
That masked man was seriously trying to kill him just now—charging in without any hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, Obito teleported next to the Three-Tails.
The spiky giant turtle had just been flipped over by Hatake Satoru's sudden strike. Its four legs flailed helplessly in the air while its huge tail whipped around wildly.
Shisui stood right in front of it, eyes locked on the massive beast.
