Konoha Notes

Chapter 281 Obito

Chapter 281 Obito
Obito Uchiha coldly surveyed the battlefield.

That man was sweeping through the stone statue army with unstoppable momentum.

His importance to Konoha is beyond doubt.

The more closely you observe, the clearer this conclusion becomes. He was active at almost every crucial juncture.

"So... do you trust your own strength?"

He looked at the situation on the battlefield and saw the ninjas who had been hiding behind the stone statue army and had not made a move until now, and they seemed to be unable to hold back any longer.

"Wind Release: Divine Wind!"

Fire Release: Swift Fire!

The whirlwind and flames merged instantly, transforming into a fiery storm that crashed into the raging forest.

The trees were set ablaze, crackling and popping, sending thick black smoke billowing into the sky and temporarily obscuring the view from the center of the battlefield.

But, in the very next second...

A stronger wind, carrying the flames lit by the enemy, changed direction and swept back the way it came with even greater ferocity.

They retaliated against the two dumbfounded ninjas.

“An absolute difference in chakra.” Obito understood why; in such a confrontation, the side with stronger winds naturally gained the advantage.

"You want to use yourself as bait to lure out more information?" Obito's Sharingan spun behind the mask. "As you wish, but the gains may be greater than you expect."

Taking advantage of the chaos created by the flames and thick smoke, Obito's body seemed to merge with the air, passing through burning trees and crumbling rocks, rapidly approaching the conspicuous target in the center of the battlefield.

At that moment, another ninja among the demon's subordinates slammed his hands onto the ground.

"Earth Release: Earth Corridor Technique!"

Boom!

Several thick earthen walls rose up instantly, forming a closed corridor, intending to trap Xiu Si inside.

Almost at the same moment the earthen wall rose, the ground cracked open, and sharp wooden stakes thrust upwards, easily tearing open this makeshift cage.

Just as Shuji's attention was drawn to the Earth Release technique—

Obito has moved!
He emerged silently from the ground behind and to the side of Shuji, like a ghost, and went straight for Shuji's back.

At the same instant, Shuuji seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. The ground beneath his feet exploded, and a tree pierced upwards towards Obito's body.

"Humph."

Obito let out a barely audible snort as the wooden spike pierced through his body, just as it had pierced through Shuji's body.

The attack missed, and the two figures crossed paths. Obito turned around in an instant to grab again, but what he was met with was a kunai that shot towards him.

The kunai passed through his head without any hindrance and embedded itself in the earthen wall behind him.

"Such a quick reaction." Obito felt a slight chill.

Xiuji took the opportunity to create some distance, stood still, and calmly looked at the long-haired, tiger-striped masked man who had suddenly appeared.

Every time I go fishing, what do I catch?

The fish caught in Otogakure were fry, but this time it's a giant.

However, since we've already encountered him and there's no one else around, let's see if we can kill him at first sight.

Having made up his mind, a wooden clone separated from him. Under the cover of their movements, the clone and the main body left behind the Flying Thunder God Technique seals for each other.

At this moment, the three subordinates of the demons, though unaware of what was happening, saw someone attacking Xiu Si and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack.

Shuji didn't even glance at the three men. Several thick tree branches pierced through their chests with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, lifting them high into the air like rag dolls. Their struggles quickly ceased.

At this moment, in the center of this chaotic battlefield, partially surrounded by earthen corridors and shrouded in smoke, only two people remain facing off.

“Uchiha… Madara.” He didn’t reveal Obito’s identity. “The reason the priestess couldn’t suppress the demons was because of you.”

"Oh, so you already knew," Obito replied in his altered voice. "However, today is your last moment."

His gaze swept over Shuuji's main body and his wooden clone.

Trying to use clones to confuse and test the waters... cautious fellow.

Obito said no more, drew his long sword from his waist, and with a swift movement, slashed straight at Shuji. Shuji's main body and his wooden clone moved simultaneously, frequently intersecting each other's positions in their high-speed movement.

The surrounding trees and ground erupted once more, with countless splinters piercing Obito from all sorts of tricky angles.

All the wooden spikes pierced through the ethereal body, but failed to cause the slightest damage.

Meanwhile, Obito, in the intervals between each sword swing, keenly probed the difference between the main body and the clone.

In this dazzling exchange of offense and defense...

Zetsu, silently emerging halfway from the ground. A tree that had just sprouted from the earth, seemingly aimed at Obito, suddenly and strangely venomously venomously stabbed towards Shuji's waist and abdomen!

That stealthy and cunning strike hit its mark!
Then, the part that was hit was severed by Shuji's own palm strike. At the waist and abdomen, the clear cut and texture of the wood were exposed.

found it!
Obito ignored a wooden spike that was piercing him from the side, and at the same moment the spike pierced his shoulder, he also rushed in front of Shuuji.

The distance between the two instantly closed to its limit, and the distorted vortex of Kamui appeared in front of Shuji!
"it's over!"

Shuji's pupils contracted slightly. An even larger tree root suddenly attacked from behind Obito, attempting to interrupt the absorption.

However, Obito simply formed hand seals and resisted, determined to catch this guy.

Jue, who was standing to the side, did not let Obito suffer alone. He raised his hand and pointed, and several thick vines instantly intertwined, blocking the heavy blow for Obito.

In the instant that Obito's mind was slightly distracted due to forming hand seals, he sensed that the target who was being pulled by Kamui and about to be sucked into another dimension seemed to have undergone some extremely subtle... change?
Is it an illusion...?

After absorbing the material, Obito looked to the other side, at the location where the wood clone had originally been.

He was stunned. The Xiu Si clone, who should have had wounds on his waist and abdomen, looked completely unharmed.

what happened……

A chill suddenly swept over me.

Just as Obito paused in surprise and doubt, a powerful punch, imbued with immense force, slammed into his mask without any fancy moves.

Just as Obito activated Hollowfication again—

The moment his consciousness entered the Divine Might Space, he saw it.

The "Shuji" that he had sucked into the space suddenly exploded!

The shattered pieces of wood seemed to come alive, transforming into countless tough vines and sharp thorns that swarmed and coiled around Obito, who had just channeled his consciousness into this place!

The two most deadly wooden splinters were aimed precisely at the location of his Sharingan!
The attack on his eyes caused Obito to subconsciously cancel his Hollowfication state.

In the real world, Obito exerted force with his feet, twisted his body, and tilted his head back, trying to dodge. But Shuuji's long-awaited fist still landed solidly on his chest.

boom! !

An unparalleled power erupted.

A huge hole was forcibly torn open in Obito Uchiha's chest.

However, the next moment, Shuji quickly retreated.

Obito, who stood before him, had vanished like a bubble.

Another unharmed Obito reappeared not far away.

"So...you've completely seen through my technique...?"

"But your luck has run out."

Xiu Si Chang let out a long breath, his chest rising and falling slightly.

“Indeed.” He nodded, but Obito still released Izanagi.

His gaze swept over Zetsu, then fell back on Obito.

Immediately, the figure blurred and disappeared completely from the spot.
