Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

At the same time, the gap is closed by using distortion.

"A desperate struggle," Naruto said.

Sasuke located the alternate dimension that Obito had traveled to and opened a portal to that dimension.

Naruto used his chakra hand to grab his mother, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Sasuke, and together they passed through.

Chapter 278 Vulnerable

The newly acquired eye technique, although capable of distorting space and achieving the goal of traversing other dimensions.

However, unlike Kamui, it does not possess its own personal alternate dimension.

Once locked on, Obito had nowhere to escape. His refusal to give up at this point had no chance of changing the outcome; it only prolonged the time before his capture.

"Immortality only means you can't be killed, it doesn't mean your chakra and eye power are unlimited," Naruto said.

"You should understand this, right? No matter how you run away or struggle, the outcome is already decided; you have no hope."

Obito, who had taken a direct hit from Naruto, stared in horror at the spot where he had been struck, his eyes rolling back and coughing up blood.

That place has been obliterated.

This is not the kind of damage that physical techniques can cause, nor have I ever heard of immortal techniques possessing such destructive power.

what exactly is it?

Looking up at Naruto's right hand, Obito frowned: "That black substance, is it a Truth-Seeking Ball? No! It feels different, much more dangerous than a Truth-Seeking Ball."

"If you have something this powerful, why didn't you use it sooner?" Sasuke wondered.

Naruto dispersed the black substance in his hand and spoke softly.

"Anything that gets grazed or touched by this thing will turn to nothingness, including chakra, body, soul, and everything else."

"I still want that monster inside him, how can I just erase him like this?"

The expanding Truth-Seeking Balls, along with Naruto's encounter with the Gedo Mazo, became the Divine Tree, and to some extent, gained control over a portion of Kaguya's power.

If Kaguya is present, it can be used perfectly, unleashing Kaguya's power.

At this moment, Naruto can unleash this ultimate technique, capable of obliterating a Six Paths level powerhouse.

"Didn't you say this wouldn't work for you?" Naruto asked Kaguya.

“Obito, like you, ate the chakra fruit of the God Tree and merged with it, becoming one with it, immortal and indestructible. So how could the expanded Truth-Seeking Balls hurt him?”

“It’s simple, the quality of the chakra fruit he ate wasn’t as high as mine,” Kaguya said.

"For a divine tree to bear a complete fruit, it would take hundreds or even thousands of years. How long has it been?"

"The fact that it was able to produce a Chakra Fruit is already quite impressive, proving that the energy on that planet was extremely abundant."

"But that's all. No matter how much energy there is, it can't be achieved overnight; there will be a process of digestion and absorption."

"So, his bloodline limit is flawed? And even his immortality is questionable?" Naruto raised an eyebrow.

“The time is too short. In his current state, he has not yet achieved a perfect fusion with the Divine Tree,” Kaguya said.

"It doesn't qualify as true immortality; there is a possibility of it being killed."

"In other words, he can be separated from the divine tree, and the divine tree can be returned to its ownerless state."

Upon receiving this reply, and noticing that Obito's complexion was much worse than before, Naruto silently unleashed his full power, pressing Obito down and giving him no chance to breathe.

Naruto didn't take Obito's raw strength seriously; he was far inferior to him. The only thing worth watching was his eye technique that could distort everything.

It was only thanks to this move that Obito was able to hold out for so long.

Therefore, once you reach the sixth level, the pinnacle of combat power, a powerful and unique forbidden technique or eye technique becomes extremely important.

It is entirely possible to overcome the odds and turn the tide against all odds.

As time went on, even Kushina, Jiraiya, and Kakashi, who were watching from a distance and unable to intervene, gradually noticed something amiss.

"It looks like he's about to die; his life force is waning," Jiraiya mused.

“Indeed, there’s a feeling of running out of steam,” Kakashi nodded.

If Obito was at the Six Paths level at the beginning, then now, his power level has fallen below the threshold of the Six Paths level and is moving towards the Super Kage level.

Finally, Obito's strength declined significantly, truly falling into the realm of Super Kage. But this decline continued, and he continued to weaken.

Especially under the relentless, fast-paced attacks of Naruto and Sasuke, Obito's rate of decline accelerated.

Seeing this, Kakashi's eyes flickered slightly, and his left hand, which was in his pocket, trembled involuntarily.

"Ha, ha, ha." Obito gasped for breath, his eyes fixed on Naruto directly in front of him, while he remained vigilant towards Sasuke, who had blocked his escape route behind him.

"Chakra, give me more chakra. Don't worry about the losses. We can replenish it whenever we're safe."

"Did you understand? Give it to me!"

There was no feedback, not even a response.

Obito sensed it and discovered that the Ten-Tails within him had transformed into the shape of the Divine Tree and ceased its activity. No wonder he couldn't hear its roar anymore; it turned out...

"Oh dear, you seem to be about to collapse. What happened? You were so strong before," Naruto said, feigning surprise.

Obito took a deep breath without saying a word, held his breath, and launched a counterattack, targeting Kushina.

"I was prepared for this!" Naruto laughed loudly.

He grabbed Obito's hair, threw him over his shoulder, and slammed him hard onto the ground.

His free left hand clenched into a fist, and like a gust of wind, he slammed it into Obito's face.

The cracking sound of bones breaking reached my ears; my nose was smashed and caved in, a bloody and mangled mess.

"Pathetic, pathetic! You think you can take a hostage from me in your current state?"

Naruto showed no mercy and unleashed a barrage of punches, engulfing Obito in a flurry of fist shadows.

More than a decade ago, Obito attacked Konoha.

Not long ago, Obito even kidnapped Sakura, which nearly led to her death.

It can be said that Naruto hated Obito to the core.

A swift and clean execution and sealing would be too lenient on Obito. Given Naruto's hatred for Obito, he wouldn't mind fighting him a little longer if given the chance.

When his strength was at the Six Paths level, Obito could still escape to other dimensions right under Naruto and Sasuke's noses using his Distorted Eye Technique.

Once his strength drops to the level of a super-shadow, he will never have another chance.

Even if he used distortion to create a hole in space, he wouldn't be able to pass through it; he would be interrupted.

In this situation, being beaten unilaterally and powerless to fight back, Obito felt a deep sense of despair. Was he really going to die here? Was this the end for him?

He thought that with his newfound life, he could turn the tide and kill Naruto, who had come to him relentlessly.

Unexpectedly, Naruto's strength was far greater than he had imagined.

His own strength, or rather his condition, was not at its best. This battle started very hastily, and Obito was not prepared at all.

"Naruto." Seeing Obito's strength, which he sensed was roughly at the Kage level, Kakashi couldn't help but ask, "Can I do it?"

Chapter 279 Cartridge

Naruto paused, judging from Obito's condition, or rather, the state of the Ten-Tails within Obito's body, that it was insufficient to unleash too much power.

He nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing this, Sasuke gave Kakashi a strange look, unaware of the story between the cards, and not caring about it himself.

He came to kill Obito to help Naruto, and he had no grudges or entanglements with Obito.

He was more enthusiastic about fighting Naruto than Obito.

Since Naruto had agreed, Sasuke naturally had no objections and withdrew his hand.

As Naruto brushed past Kakashi, he patted him on the shoulder and transferred his chakra, including a portion of his eye power, to him.

If he didn't do that, Kakashi wouldn't last a single round against Obito. He simply couldn't withstand the genjutsu released by the Rinnegan with its nine tomoe.

"Thank you," Kakashi said softly.

Naruto nodded, retreated to his mother and Jiraiya's side, and gestured to Sasuke to keep a close eye on Obito to prevent him from escaping and to prevent him from resorting to desperate measures.

"Should I say, it's been a long time?" Kakashi, covered in a chakra cloak and shimmering with golden light, looked intently at Obito with dead fish eyes and asked in a complicated tone.

"I don't want to see you again at all," Obito said coldly.

"What happened back then?" Kakashi asked. "Since you're still alive, why didn't you come back?"

"Because you stood by and watched Rin die." Obito exhaled, his attitude cold.

Kakashi's pupils froze; he never expected Obito to answer like that.

"Is this really the Obito I know?" Kushina whispered. "He was so optimistic and cheerful when he was little."

"Despite being somewhat clumsy and being called the bottom of the class, they never gave up and stuck to their consistent attitude."

"What exactly happened to turn him into this?"

To be precise, Obito's life trajectory was entirely pushed into the abyss by Madara.

Undeniably, Madara saved Obito's life and was Obito's savior. However, it was also Madara who orchestrated Rin's death, thereby causing Obito to break down and turn to the dark side.

Obito is a tragic figure, but that doesn't mean Naruto can forgive him and let him go.

"Yes, why?" Naruto said casually, without mentioning the truth of the matter.

"I'll ask one last time, is there any possibility of turning back?" Kakashi asked.

Obito adjusted his breathing; silence was the best response.

Kakashi understood and said nothing more, forming the opposing hand seal with one hand.

"Not bad, that's the look of someone who wants to kill me." Obito chuckled, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He spat out a mouthful of blood-stained saliva.

Glancing at Naruto and Sasuke, who were watching from the sidelines and had no intention of intervening, Sasuke's mind began to race.
