Chapter 356 Invading the Divine Might Space

Lost them!

Jugo and that man have both disappeared.

"What do we do now?" Suigetsu asked. Should they continue with Akatsuki's mission to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki? Or should they go to rescue Jugo?

However, given the opponent's ability to conceal himself and his ability to fly in the air, they had no idea how to find Jugo.

"First, we'll capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. When we get back, we'll ask the Akatsuki members; they should know something about that man," Sasuke said.

It's impossible for a powerful figure to suddenly appear in the ninja world without any information. The Akatsuki organization has been traveling around the five great nations for so many years, they must have relevant intelligence.

Only after finding information about the other party can we know their purpose in kidnapping Jugo.

"Okay." Shuiyue nodded.

"I'll listen to Sasuke." Karin quietly approached Sasuke.

Having agreed on their plan, the three continued their journey towards Kumogakure.

Not long after the three left, a vortex of ripples rose in the air above a mountaintop, from which a man wearing a wooden vortex mask emerged.

The newcomer was none other than our Obito. Beside him, a pitcher plant dressed in an Akatsuki uniform emerged from the ground—a combination of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

"Who is that?"

Obito looked towards the spot in the sky where Li Yaoying's clone had disappeared and asked, his tone tinged with apprehension.

There are many people in the ninja world who are strong enough to defeat Sasuke, but there are not many who could almost cripple Sasuke in such a simple exchange.

Although there was a hint of a sneak attack, there was no doubt about the speed and strength the man displayed, as well as his unfathomable manipulation of black matter ninjutsu.

That man's strength is no weaker than that of an ordinary Kage-level expert.

When did such a powerful figure emerge in the ninja world?

Obito was puzzled.

Black Zetsu shook his head in a hoarse voice and said, "This is also the first time I've seen this person."

At this point, Black Zetsu was also puzzled. Logically speaking, a man like this shouldn't be unknown in the ninja world.

In this war-torn ninja world, there is no such thing as a reclusive powerhouse. Without experiencing hundreds of battles, one cannot possess that level of strength.

He watched the entire battle just now.

The opponent defeated Sasuke and Suigetsu in a single exchange; that kind of on-the-spot attack handling is not the kind of combat experience a rookie should have.

Moreover, that blow even shattered Sasuke's Susanoo.

This was the first time Black Zetsu had seen someone break through Susanoo's defenses so easily, demonstrating the opponent's unprecedented power.

"Why did he kidnap Jugo?" Obito continued to ask.

"I don't know...maybe he's trying to study the urge to defecate." Before Black Zetsu could speak, Half-Bhikari came out to cause trouble, looking like he was seriously thinking.

Obito looked at Black Zetsu with some surprise, ignoring White Zetsu Tobi's words.

Previously, Black Zetsu had given Obito the illusion that he knew all the secrets of the entire ninja world, but now that a powerful figure has appeared, Black Zetsu is completely clueless.

Black Zetsu sighed and said, "Perhaps it's some powerful figure in disguise?"

Obito shook his head in denial: "No, no one in the ninja world uses that kind of ninjutsu that manipulates black matter."

"Will he affect our plans?"

The sudden appearance of a powerful figure didn't bother Obito with anything else; he was only concerned about whether the newcomer would hinder his plans.

"We can try inviting him," Black Zetsu said.

"I'll find him and personally invite him," Obito said, his eyes flashing.

If it cannot be used by him, then it can only be eliminated.

Obito added in his mind.

The opponent was exceptionally strong, possessing formidable physical skills, but under his divine might, even the strongest physical abilities were useless.

Obito was least afraid of taijutsu ninjas.

"I'll try my best," Black Zetsu replied, his tone tinged with uncertainty.

This is very rare, after all, White Zetsu is most famous for gathering intelligence and finding people, and now it is saying "as much as possible"?

However, Obito did not show any surprise this time.

The sudden appearance of that man startled him as well; neither he nor Bai Jue had noticed any trace of him.

The opponent's hidden abilities are even more terrifying than their actual strength.

The reason Obito was afraid of this cunning old fox and had to get rid of him when he couldn't recruit him was because he feared his ability to hide his true intentions.

hum!

A vortex rippled out from Obito's Kamui Sharingan, and Obito was sucked into the Kamui space along with the vortex.

White Zetsu continued to sink underground, following Sasuke.

In the Kamui dimension, Obito appeared and then leaped between giant, suspended stone pillars.

Each of the giant stone pillars is not only a foothold in the Divine Might Space, but also a spatial node corresponding to the real world.

Moving at spatial nodes corresponds to moving to a location in the real world, only on a much larger scale.

After jumping over just three stone pillars, Obito arrived above the Hidden Cloud Village ahead of schedule.

"Alright, let's make sure we capture the Eight-Tails first."

Obito stopped and waited for Sasuke to arrive. Once they captured the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and Nagato brought back the Nine-Tails, the Eye of the Moon Plan could begin.

However... since he's the main character, there's no need for that old guy Madara, who's already dead, to come out again.

Whoosh... Suddenly a gentle breeze blew across my face.

Obito's expression changed instantly.

wind?

How could there be wind in the Divine Might Space?

Before Obito could react, the rattling sound of chains rang out, and countless black iron chains instantly pierced through his body and entered his body.

In an instant, all of Obito's chakra was sealed, including the ocular chakra in his Sharingan.

Not only that, Obito felt that he had lost all feeling in his body. He could only move his mouth and couldn't even blink.

"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be so easy to get in!"

Li Yaoying's clone appeared in the air in front of Obito and smiled slightly.

"You...you!!"

Obito was shocked, staring at the man in front of him. Hadn't this man disappeared using some kind of method?

Why are you here?

Appearing in his divine power space?

Obito was both surprised and frightened.

Besides him, only Kakashi can enter and exit the Kamui dimension.

But the man in front of him was not Kakashi, nor did he possess the Kamui Sharingan that Kakashi had left on him.

But... why is this man here?

Why?

Why are you here?

"How did you do that?"

Obito's tone was one of disbelief.

"It's simple, I came in with you," Li Yaoying's clone said with a smile.

After Li Yao's shadow clone found Sasuke and his group and discovered Black Zetsu appearing in the shadows, another shadow clone used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport over.

Afterwards, the clone of Li Yaoying that sealed Jugo used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, while another clone of Li Yaoying used the Water Transformation Infiltration Technique to infiltrate into the air and continue to hide.

Li Yaoying's clone guessed that Obito would definitely come out of the Kamui dimension to investigate the sudden appearance of such a powerful stranger as himself.

As he had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had imagined.

Obito emerged from the Kamui dimension, and Li Yaoying's clone seized the opportunity to arrive beside him. As Obito used his Kamui ability to return to the Kamui dimension, Li Yaoying, who had permeated the air, enveloped Obito and was also brought into the Kamui dimension.

Just like Obito used the Kamui Sharingan to suck people into the Kamui dimension, Li Yaoying's clone was also sucked in using the same method.

Afterwards, Li Yaoying's clone continued to secretly explore the Divine Might Space, and only appeared after quietly leaving enough Flying Thunder God Technique imprints.

"impossible!"

"No……"

Just as Obito was shouting that it was impossible, he suddenly thought of the hidden ability of the man in front of him. Could it be...? He looked at Li Yao in shock.

"Were you secretly following me all along?"

"Correct answer." Li Yaoying's clone laughed, "Unfortunately, there's no reward."

"How is this possible?" Obito still couldn't believe it was true.

The Sharingan is a dōjutsu that can see chakra, yet he was so close to someone who was invisible and he couldn't even sense it.
