Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 268 No Escape (Fourth Update)

First, the Tailed Beast Balls clashed, and then a huge iceberg suddenly appeared on the battlefield, clearly attracting everyone's attention.

The entire battlefield fell silent.

However, contrary to what Tachibana Kenkawa had expected, it was not Killer Bee, whose older brother had almost been killed by Tachibana Kenkawa, who launched the first attack.

Instead, it was Uchiha Obito, who had just taken Nohara Rin into the Kamui dimension, in the distance.

Although Obito Uchiha still attacked indiscriminately, he killed all the Cloud Village ninjas who blocked his way.

But perhaps because Tachibana's performance had been too outstanding, Obito Uchiha charged straight at him.

However, because Obito Uchiha's mask was too well concealed, Tachibana Kenkawa couldn't see the other's expression and couldn't understand why this guy had such a high level of hatred towards him.

Seeing that the Cloud Villagers around them seemed to be retreating, and that Harusame and Kisame Hoshigaki had also broken through in the distance.

With no more worries, Tachibana glanced at Killer Bee, who was eyeing her menacingly, and Obito, who seemed to have his eye on her.

"Give it a try! If you can take it down, great; if not, retreat!"

If we could kill Obito Uchiha while he had just awakened the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan and wasn't yet proficient in using it, it would be a win no matter how you looked at it.

It's possible that Madara Uchiha was still alive at that time, and might have to find a new successor.

Of course, with the enemy practically at their doorstep, Tachibana Kanagawa didn't have time to think about all that.

He casually thrust the divine spear into the head of a Cloud Villager who was attacking him, while simultaneously forming hand seals with lightning speed.

Two more white flames shot into the air, and the area covered by the 'hail' expanded once again.

He kicked away another Cloud Hidden who tried to ambush him, and then retrieved the divine spear that had been temporarily stored on the Cloud Hidden's body. With a backhand slash, he killed yet another attacker with a single blow.

After finishing all this, Tachibana Kenkawa turned his gaze to Obito Uchiha, who was rushing towards them from afar.

Hailstones kept falling from the sky, but they all just passed right through him without causing him any harm.

"This is fucking illogical! How can someone still run on the ground while in a blurred state?!"

However, it seemed that because he had entered the area covered by the hail, Obito Uchiha abandoned his attack on the other Cloud Villages and rushed towards Tachibana Kenkawa without regard for anything else.

"Ignoring even the Cloud Village attackers nearby, is it targeting me?"

However, Obito Uchiha's actions were exactly what Tachibana Kanagawa wanted.

Jianchuan Ju quickly formed hand seals.

"White Escape * White Mist"

"White Mist" is one of the few Ice Release techniques least affected by the White Release Kekkei Tota. It can only cause enemies within the White Mist area to suffer a small amount of white flame damage. Normally, this technique would not be very powerful and might even accidentally injure teammates. However, this is exactly what Tachibana Kenkawa wants now.

A white mist instantly enveloped the surroundings.

If hail attacks have gaps, then white fog is an uninterrupted attack with no blind spots.

Tachibana Kanagawa was trying to force Obito Uchiha to choose between continuously activating Kamui Intangibility and enduring the burning of the "White Mist".

however.

A huge gale swept past.

It was Killer Bee, now fully transformed into a tailed beast, who unleashed a gust of wind with his octopus tentacles, instantly dispersing the white mist that had just begun to form.

Immediately following, two tentacles slapped towards Tachibana Uchiha and Obito Uchiha respectively.

"Bang!"

Smoke and snow flew everywhere.

Tachibana Kanagawa used her burst of speed to dodge Killer Bee's attack, while Obito Uchiha also used his intangibility to ignore the sneak attack.

"What's wrong with that!"

Jianchuan Ju doesn't tolerate the other party's behavior.

With a wave of his hand, he unleashed another "Absolute Zero" slash towards the Eight-Tails' tentacles, also drawing Obito Uchiha into the attack's range.

"Boom!"

White flames surged forth again, though not as powerful as the previous attack, but still managed to freeze both octopus tentacles completely.

However, this delay allowed the intangible Obito Uchiha to rush towards Tachibana Kanagawa.

Obito Uchiha slammed his hands down on the ground and roared.

"Kirigakure! Die!!"

Countless thick trees burst forth from the ground, surging towards Jianchuan Orange like a tidal wave.

Faced with seemingly endless Wood Release attacks, Tachibana Kenkawa also slammed both palms into the ground.

"White Escape*Hyōgandō Mu"

A thick, hemispherical ice crystal defense instantly rose up, protecting Jianchuan Ju.

The moment the tree branches struck the ice crystal defense, they were instantly frozen by the rising white flames, turning into ice sculptures.

However, before Jianchuan Ju could retract his defenses, a figure appeared directly in front of him, passing right through the outer layer of white flames and thick ice crystals.

The newcomer was none other than Obito Uchiha, who had entered the Hollowfication state. He stretched out his right hand, his eyes filled with malice, and reached out to grab Tachibana Kanagawa.

But what awaited him was a cunning smile from Tachibana Kanagawa.

At this moment, a huge gap suddenly appeared above the "Ice Rock Hall," and sunlight shone directly down through it.

Tachibana Kanagawa swiftly stepped out with his right foot, landing squarely on the shadow beneath Obito Uchiha.

The black emblem on Tachibana Kanakawa's arm shimmered slightly.

Shadow Step! Activate!

That's right, perhaps it's because the Nara clan's shadow magic is so well-suited to this characteristic.

When he found the Nara clan corpse, Tachibana Kanagawa was still thinking about how to obtain the Shadow Technique.

Who would have thought that after 'drawing', I would directly gain the system-recognized characteristic 'shadow stepping'.

【Special Ability * Shadow Stepping】(Purple Item (Temporary): This ability can be activated by stepping on the opponent's shadow. Once activated, the Shadow Stepping ability continuously consumes chakra, rendering the opponent unable to move their legs and unable to escape.)

Although the "Ghost-type UP banner" was not unlocked, Tachibana Kanagawa still gained this ability that can be used immediately.

The moment the Shadow Step was activated, Obito Uchiha's lower body froze in place, unable to move.

Without hesitation, Tachibana Kenkawa swiftly swung his sword at Obito Uchiha.

Unexpectedly, the attack still passed right through him.

"Hmm? Even though I can't move, it doesn't affect the activation of Kamui?"

Jianchuan Ju's thoughts are like lightning.

However, it was clear that Obito Uchiha on the other side also realized this problem, and immediately activated Kamui in an attempt to completely hide in the Kamui dimension in order to break free from the immobilization.

However, the spatial distortion had barely formed when it seemed to be smoothed out by an invisible force, and the attack failed.

Tachibana Kanakawa finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Haha, the escape ban is now in effect!"

Since Obito Uchiha couldn't escape into the Kamui dimension, Tachibana Kenkawa had his own way of dealing with him.

Under Obito's horrified gaze, Tachibana Kenkawa grinned and rapidly formed hand seals.

"White Release: Aurora Beam!"

Using the sunlight streaming in through the top hole of the Ice Rock Hall, Tachibana Kenkawa decisively activated the "Aurora Beam".

A dazzling beam of seven-colored light shot directly at Obito Uchiha.

This time, however, Kamui was unable to help him avoid the attack.

The instant the seven-colored beam struck, a pure white flame quickly ignited at the convergence of the beams and rapidly spread outwards.

"Ahhhhh—"

A piercing scream came from Obito Uchiha; it was unclear whether it was his voice or that of the special White Zetsu.
