Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 168 Defeat
"Don't let your guard down."

Perhaps hearing Itachi Uchiha's inner thoughts, Kairi poured cold water on Ryoma Aburame and the others who had already relaxed.

"Could it be that the enemy is still alive?"

They immediately tensed up, and the chakra within their bodies, which had been slowing down, suddenly accelerated.

After the series of battles just now, the weight of Hui Li's words was no longer the same. Although she still had questions on her lips, her body had naturally entered a fighting state.

"of course."

Bai Yan stared directly at the motionless corpse underwater, and Hui Li's lips curled slightly, revealing an indescribable coldness.

All information about Obito Uchiha was completely transparent to her.

The invincible power lasting for five minutes, how long can it last? Izanagi that alters reality, inherited from Hashirama Senju's Wood Release bloodline, and the immortal body from White Zetsu...

With so many powerful abilities combined, even if Obito Uchiha was weak, he couldn't possibly have died so easily.

Wow!

Behind him, the clouds and rain twisted into a vortex, and a strange black rod suddenly emerged from it, stabbing fiercely into Gray Glass's heart.

"careful!"

Standing opposite Hui Li, Die's eyes widened suddenly, and even her voice became somewhat shrill. Itachi, who had been searching for Madara's location, had his scarlet eyes spinning wildly.

The red and blue light made the water surface sparkle.

clang!
The eerie black rod pierced the blue lightning armor, causing the scarlet robe to billow wildly and produce a piercing metallic clang.

With double protection, the vast majority of attacks in the ninja world cannot break through its defenses.

Gray Glass remained motionless, his white eyes slightly slanted.

The scarlet red cloak behind him suddenly transformed, turning into countless twisted tentacles that tightly bound the black rod.

A sharp tug!
The tentacles instantly dragged the black rod and a pitch-black arm out.

hum!
An invisible wind cuts through the air.

Click!

The entire arm, along with the black rod, was instantly severed by the wind technique.

呲呲!

Blood spurted from the scarlet wound, and the eerie vortex behind him had disappeared.

The existence of the White Eye renders 99% of sneak attacks in the world meaningless. From God's perspective, that black stick with its tricky angle is no different from a frontal attack.

The wind ripped apart the arm that was flying in mid-air, and Hui Li turned to look at the diagonally behind the crowd.

Wearing an orange mask, Obito Uchiha, clutching his broken arm, slowly rose from the water, a strange kaleidoscope emanating hatred.

"That guy really isn't dead!"

Butterfly couldn't help but gasp. He had seen the other's head cut in half, the body sink into the water, and even the chakra core stopped shining. How could it have been resurrected in the blink of an eye?

"How on earth is it done?"

"Could it be that the enemy is immortal?" Lan was somewhat incredulous; the enemy's abilities had surpassed the limits of his understanding.

"It is Izanagi."

As Obito Uchiha's severed arm slowly emerged, Hui Li revealed Obito's information without any hesitation.

"what is that?"

When Aburame Ryoma heard this technique, he felt it was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it mentioned by Danzo. It seemed to be a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan.

"The forbidden eye technique of the Uchiha clan comes at the cost of permanently losing one Sharingan. It turns all unfavorable situations into illusions. The duration varies from person to person, ranging from one minute to five minutes."

When Hui Li casually revealed the secret information, Itachi Uchiha and Obito's eyes simultaneously turned cold.

"how do you know?"

Obito Uchiha's voice was as cold and somber as he glanced with his right eye at Itachi Uchiha, who was standing still paddling in the water in the distance, and a deep sense of suspicion welled up in his heart.

There are only a handful of Uchiha left in the ninja world. Sasuke is still a child. The only person who might know about the Izanagi technique is this Konoha spy.

"The texts and secret techniques that survived after the Uchiha clan was wiped out are all backed up in Root; they're not some big secret."

With his hands outstretched, Gray Glass was clad in lightning armor, and three illusory tails on his back swayed in the wind.

Previously, she had never had enough chakra, and this was the first time she had ever fought so extravagantly with all her might.

With the dual status skills stacked on top of each other, her already powerful physical abilities instantly multiplied several times over. Her taijutsu skills, which were already beyond those of elite Jonin, were now absolutely formidable even within the Kage-level domain.

In fact, the number of tails could be increased further.

However, an overly powerful tailed beast cloak would burn away the skin, exposing the blood-red flesh and turning the user into a monster. Her shadow clone, which was so fragile, could only reach this level.

Damn!

Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth.

The power of the kaleidoscope is unpredictable and mysterious; no one knows what incredible abilities it might unleash.

In order to perfectly execute the Eye of the Moon plan without interference, he assisted Itachi Uchiha in annihilating the Uchiha clan, but he never expected that the Uchiha's obstacle would come from such a place.

He sensed a force called destiny.

"Who exactly are you? The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha should be a boy!" Having personally taken away his master's child, Obito Uchiha knew the true identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki better than anyone else.

"That's a very long story."

Hairi slowly stalled for time; Izanagi's duration was at most five minutes, during which time Obito Uchiha was invincible.

The longer it drags on, the better it will be for her.

"Then let's talk about it in hell!"

Unable to extract any further information, Obito Uchiha could not allow Hairi to delay any longer.

Wow!
He pulled out a steel chain as thick as an adult man's arm, and Obito's body suddenly accelerated, turning into a blur as he crashed into Gray.

Everyone knew that the Hollowfied state was invincible, so Aburame Ryoma and the others did not attack rashly, but instead scattered and left the enemy to Hairi to deal with.

The chains rubbed against each other, producing a crisp metallic sound.

The invisible wind sliced ​​through the chains without causing the slightest impact. This thing, like Obito Uchiha, was a projection from another dimension.

Wow!

The ethereal Obito, carrying steel cables, weaved and wrapped around Haili's body. The instant he materialized, the illusory chains simultaneously became real, binding Haili tightly.

Bound by the giant chains, Gray Glass paused slightly as lightning rapidly traveled along the steel cables toward Obito.

Bang!

Obito quickly released the chains and created some distance.

Bang bang bang!
Fine strands of wind-style chakra erupted from the acupoints, slicing the steel chain into countless sparks, but they were utterly unable to sever the massive steel cable.

With the chains sturdy, Gray Glass directly controlled the wind threads to slash at Obito in the distance!

As long as the opponent enters the intangible state, she can repeat the same operation, sticking to Obito and seamlessly cutting him with Wind Release until the intangible state ends and he dies.

Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly. Having suffered a great loss once, he had already obtained information about the opponent's strange wind-style techniques.

The Wind Release Field has a radius of 15 meters.

Based on the characteristics of a circle, the closer to the center, the denser the wind chakra coverage; the farther away, the sparser the wind chakra attack frequency.

At a distance of 15 meters, the maximum possible distance, a very noticeable gap will appear.

Furthermore, since Wind Release is emitted outward from the opponent's body rather than being pre-stored in space, the outer ring of Wind Release is much slower than the inner ring.

As long as you control the opponent's body, maintain a maximum distance, and don't get close to the opponent's body, you can buy time to release your ninjutsu!
Whoosh whoosh!
The Mangekyou Sharingan slowed down the wind wisps flying from afar, and Obito frantically formed hand seals to use his most prized ninjutsu.

His chest swelled up!

Art fire escape ho fireball!
A fireball even larger than Itachi Uchiha spewed from Obito's mouth, the scattered and fine wisps of wind acting like the most perfect fuel in the world, the terrifying heat instantly burning them to ashes.

The fire spread towards the gray glass.

Blah blah blah!

The steel chains tightly bound Hui Li's body, preventing him from moving. The high temperature completely ignited the wind escaping technique within the domain, turning the sharp and unstoppable wind escaping domain into a raging sea of ​​fire in an instant.

Flames shot into the sky, turning the inky black clouds a deep red.

The lake surface instantly boiled, with bubbles churning like a thick soup.

The steam generated by the high temperature resembled a cloud of mist, which, together with the flames, completely buried the red and blue monster.

The kaleidoscope's power, parasitic insects, chakra fluctuations—all sorts of sensory abilities entered the mist, bringing back the same message: "Don't worry, she's alright."

Butterfly provides information to the bewildered Lan and Iwakuma, while the parasitic insects on Aburame Ryoma's fingers tremble as they transmit pheromones.

call!
The water vapor dissipated.

Crimson-purple lightning flowed wildly across his body. Unharmed, Gray Glass gripped the red-hot iron lock, his three tails wagging wildly behind him.

Obito Uchiha's eyes widened suddenly.

Such terrifyingly high temperatures would melt even steel, yet the creature's clothes remained completely undamaged! What kind of monster is this?

call!
Hot steam surrounded her, and the face hidden beneath the mask by Hui Li was already a faint pink.

The sense of security brought by the absolute defense from the first full use of the Lightning Armor and Tailed Beast Cloak was incredibly captivating.

Even with the amplification from Wind Release, the Great Fireball Technique couldn't break through her defenses.

But what she didn't expect was that the flames burned so intensely that they not only burned away all the oxygen around her, but also created water vapor at hundreds of degrees Celsius that made it impossible to breathe.

It seems I still have weaknesses.

The so-called Perfect Battle Body 1.0 is no longer sufficient to keep up with her combat intensity. Once the Gray Bone problem is resolved, we will begin developing Perfect Battle Body 2.0.

Holding her breath, Hui Li grabbed the chains wrapped around her body.

Crimson-purple lightning surged wildly, turning the chains into a thunder dragon.

Squeak!
The sickening sound of steel deforming echoed in the air. The steel chain was instantly taut by immense force, and a fair little hand gripped the scorching hot chain, the terrifying muscle fibers tightening wildly.

Click!

With a piercing crack, the steel lock burst into countless sparks, and then, to everyone's astonishment, it shattered inch by inch.

boom!
Her lightning-fast figure crashed through the rain, causing waves to surge across the lake. She charged towards Obito Uchiha like a giant elephant.

Divine power!

Obito's body suddenly became illusory, and the enormous Samehada passed through his body, its outrageous force shattering the rain and creating a vacuum.

Eye twitching.

They dared not test its strength at all.

Obito Uchiha retreated frantically, his crimson figure following closely behind. The absolute difference in speed meant that the distance between the two could not be widened at all.

A familiar scene unfolded once again.

The merciless Wind Release domain began its devastating attack once again.

Not wanting to waste Izanagi's time, Obito deactivated his Hollowfication and was instantly shredded into countless pieces by the wind threads.

The reality of the dismembered body was rewritten, and Obito Uchiha appeared behind Kairi with his clothes completely intact.

Divine power!

The slowly distorted space spread towards the gray glass.

"Too slow."

The lightning-fast figure dodged the twisting motion, and the merciless red iron fist slammed into Obito's abdomen!
"vomit!"

Uncontrollable fragments of internal organs spurted from his mouth.

The immense force of tens of tons was poured into his waist and abdomen, and Obito Uchiha's body was directly blown apart, causing a shower of blood to fall from the sky.

The blood disappeared again.

Obito's figure reappeared, but the arrogance and ferocity in his eyes were gone, replaced by an extremely solemn expression.

Kamui's weaknesses were exploited by his opponent, making it difficult to achieve any results, while his opponent's pure power was impossible to overcome, and he could not defeat him even with all his might.

Kisame is such a useless piece of trash!
Not only did it serve no purpose, it also provided the enemy with so much chakra!
"Your time is running out. Do you want to use your kaleidoscope to cast Izanagi one more time?"

With both state skills activated simultaneously, Hui Li felt her chakra being consumed rapidly within her body and tightly gripped the hilt of Samehada to absorb energy.

Its near-invincible power also comes at a terrifyingly high cost.

The quality of the chakra transmitted by Samehada was too low; she had to absorb four or five portions to condense one portion of high-quality purple chakra.

When used to simultaneously sustain both the Lightning Release Armor and the Tailed Beast Cloak, the chakra consumption rate is more than three times that of activating them separately.

Lightning Release provides speed and reaction time, while the Tailed Beast Cloak provides power and defense.

Only a fragile shadow clone that cannot be touched can perfectly suppress Obito Uchiha.

"You don't have much chakra left, do you?"

Obito stared intently at Kairi and Samehada. His Mangekyou Sharingan allowed him to clearly see the rate at which the other party was draining Samehada's power. Samehada, now completely drained, looked listless and dispirited.

The opponent maintained that high-consumption combat state, which was simply unsustainable.

Whether it's the bizarre eye techniques or the powerful taijutsu, the basic rules of ninja battles will not change: running out of chakra equals death!
Now it's a contest of who can last longer.

As Izanagi's duration passed second by second, the wildly flashing purplish-red lightning gradually calmed down.

Boom boom!

The scene suddenly froze as the two stared at each other, each waiting for their time to run out.

The rain gradually subsided.

The torrential rain turned into a drizzle, and the three tails behind Gray Glass swayed wildly, turning from their original scarlet red to pale red. Samehada twitched and shrank, its body turning white as it unfolded.

"Yataka's chakra response is weakening."

Butterfly clasped her hands together, her eyes filled with deep worry.

“That strange fish has the ability to absorb chakra.” Iwakuma gathered his own chakra in his palm: “If she absorbs our power…”

"it's useless."

Butterfly quickly shook her head, interrupting Pan Xiong's words.

"The gap is too big. Even if you drain all three of us, including the captain's, of our chakra, it won't last long."

The cold words silenced all four of them. Their combined chakra was at most twice that of an elite Jonin, which was far from enough to sustain that level of consumption.

All four were high-level combatants from the Root organization, and were always the main force in any mission they participated in. However, they never expected that not only would they be unable to participate in the battle, but they were not even qualified to be batteries for their teammates in the battle.

This mission was absolutely terrible!

"It seems time is on my side."

Obito Uchiha smirked. He had two minutes left on his Izanagi, enough time to kill an enemy who had lost their chakra ten thousand times over.

"There's really no other way; I didn't want to do this."

Seeing Obito Uchiha's eager expression, 'Yang Release: Gray', whose chakra was about to run out, helplessly pressed his hand to his heart.

Gudong!

Gudong!

The air suddenly became heavy, and the pounding of his heart triggered alarm bells in Obito Uchiha's mind, causing him to pause slightly in his preparations for the attack.

dong dong dong...

My heart is beating more and more violently.

The nearly depleted chakra core gradually emitted light, and scalding purple chakra crossed the void, surging wildly along the DNA-like spiral chain.

"The gate is open, so use it sparingly."

"I didn't want this either! My true form!"

Feeling the surging chakra throughout his body, the power of the sixth gate of the Eight Inner Gates rapidly filled his nearly depleted body.

Zizizi!
The three tails materialized and danced in the wind, while the blue-purple lightning roared once more.

Staring directly at the dumbfounded Obito Uchiha, Hairi, whose chakra had fully recovered and was even stronger than before, revealed her snow-white teeth:

"Next up is the second match..."

Whoosh!
Before Hui Li could finish speaking, taking advantage of the fact that Izanagi's effects had not yet dissipated, Uchiha Obito distorted space and teleported directly to Itachi, who was carrying Kisame.

Grab with one hand.

The vortex of divine power enveloped the three figures. When the distorted wind and rain subsided, the three figures were nowhere to be seen on the flooded summit of Leigu Mountain.

Hui Li activated his Byakugan and surveyed the mountain peaks. A series of black holes distorted, and Uchiha Obito and the others quickly escaped from the Byakugan's field of vision.

That's fast!
