However, thanks to Qingwu's reminder and Terumi Mei's timely response, the situation temporarily shifted from pure chaos to an organized response.

The real eye of the storm was the confrontation between Qingwu and the masked man in the arena.

"Thousand-Handed Green Wutong... It really is you."

The masked man's voice returned to its previous calmness. After the stimulation of his chakra meridians, his vision was restored, and his eyes held a chilling killing intent.

"You brat from Konoha, daring to stand in front of me like this, you really don't know what's good for you."

After his plan to manipulate the Mizukage was exposed, his initial thought was indeed to leave with the Three-Tailed Isobu.

But Qingwu's intervention made him change his mind.

Instead, they directly activated the tailed beast within Yagura's body, and incidentally let Kirigakure taste "Rin's revenge"!

Furthermore, he originally didn't want to reveal too much, since the "Eye of the Moon" plan still needed time to prepare, and the tailed beasts could be resurrected even if they died.

But... if the person before you is Senju Seigo—an important figure in the Akatsuki's intelligence network—then...

The masked man slowly pulled chains out of thin air; he... intended to personally test the capabilities of the so-called "genius of the Thousand Hands Clan."

The chains rattled, carrying an ominous feel.

Qingwu did not reply, but took a deep breath and raised her natural perception to the extreme.

He knew that the upcoming battle would be completely different from any before.

Memories of Kamui surfaced in Qingwu's mind, and he tried to find a flaw in them for further verification!

Obito's Kamui is the ultimate manifestation of space-time ninjutsu, unpredictable and difficult to defend against!

The right eye's Kamui allows the user to teleport to the Kamui dimension, suck in enemies, and store ninja tools in the alternate dimension for later release.

Its core advantage lies in "intangibility"—transferring part or all of the body to the Kamui dimension, making it immune to most physical and ninjutsu attacks.

However, in monocular mode, the blurring duration is limited, and there will be gaps when using it continuously. Frequent blurring will also consume a lot of pupil power.

Splash!

The masked man moved. Without any fancy ninjutsu, he simply raised his hand and flicked the chain to wrap around Qingwu.

Qingwu knew the purpose of this guy's use of chains—he could become ethereal. If Qingwu continued to attack him at close range as before...

So, as the body passes through the masked man, it will voluntarily send itself into the chains and be bound.

The masked man was clearly wary of Qingwu's physical abilities.

However, this time Qingwu did not take the hit head-on, but instead retreated quickly to the side and back.

"Humph!"

Beneath the mask, crimson Sharingan locked onto Qingwu, whoosh—!

Two iron balls suddenly appeared out of thin air, whistling as they hurtled through the air, heading straight for Qingwu's face! Their speed far exceeded that of an ordinary throw, and they even carried a strange acceleration that distorted space.

However, the masked man used ninja tools that he had stored in the Kamui dimension beforehand to launch a surprise attack.

Qingwu dodged again, observing Obito's movements as he passed the iron ball.

"Is all you can do is hide?!"

A mocking voice rang out.

The iron ball flew halfway when an invisible ripple appeared in the air in front of it, and the iron ball disappeared into thin air!

The next second, space distorted less than three meters to Qingwu's side, and two iron balls shot out at a more tricky angle and a more terrifying speed, heading straight for his temple!

"Magic - Slow Spell!"

An invisible earth-based force field instantly enveloped Qingwu.

The trajectory of the iron ball that appeared out of nowhere visibly paused slightly. Although it did not stop, it gave Qingwu a huge space to dodge.

The iron ball flew past his ear and smashed into the wall, causing it to collapse!

"Don't bother with such petty tricks!" Qingwu retorted sarcastically without any politeness.

"Oh?" Obito's voice behind the mask was completely calm as he grabbed the chain and charged toward Qingwu.

Qingwu waved his hand, and the three unicorns that had blinded Obito grew larger and suddenly crashed into the masked man.

"Ptooey!"

The masked man was clearly wary of the unicorn's "blinding" ability, and he turned into a vortex and disappeared from the path.

At the same time, the space above Qingwu was like a curtain being lifted slightly.

Three giant, rapidly spinning shuriken with gleaming edges shot out with a shrill shriek, blocking all of Qingwu's evasive routes!

The ninja tools stored in Kamui's space are impossible to defend against.

"I told you, don't use such despicable methods!"

With a thought, five dwarf warriors wielding giant shields appeared in front of him instantly, raising their shields high.

Chi Chi Chi -!

The Wind Demon Shuriken pierced the shield and armor, killing and dissipating the three dwarf warriors, but the attack was successfully blocked.

Qingwu has switched to a completely new way of dealing with the enemy today.

When dealing with Obito, use basic units as expendable resources!

Summoning units not only does not require the consumption of natural energy—nowadays, basic units are nothing to him.

Moreover, this way, natural energy can be conserved and used to extend the "Sage Mode" for crucial moments!

call--

Upon seeing this, the masked man vanished from the spot. The next instant, the vortex reappeared out of thin air, and he appeared like a ghost in Qingwu's blind spot to the right, his chains coiling like venomous snakes around Qingwu's neck.

In his other hand, a kunai gleamed with a cold light, piercing straight into Qingwu's back!

The techniques are simple and unadorned, yet extremely fast, accurate, and ruthless. Combined with the Sharingan's insightful perception, they exude a chilling killing intent.

"Magic - Protective Shield!"

A pale white aura instantly covered Qingwu's entire body. He twisted his body and pushed off the ground, narrowly avoiding being entangled by the chains.

At the same time, a "magic arrow" crackling with electricity shot out from his hand and clashed head-on with the masked man's kunai!

puff!

The dull thud was like the sound of leather being struck.

Qingwu's attack missed once again, and the masked man promptly became intangible.

The magical arrow pierced through his body without any resistance, slamming into the stone steps behind him and creating a charred crater.

"In vain!"

The masked man's voice was indifferent, his figure solid, and his Sharingan cold. "Your tricks won't work on me."

"Is that so?" Qingwu's eyes sharpened, and he shouted again in a low voice, "Slowing Technique!"

The invisible force field returned, and the masked man's forward movement visibly faltered.

"Illusion Technique: Seeing Flowers Through the Fog!"

Just then, Princess Tianxin appeared above the masked man's head, hovering in mid-air and waving her hand downwards.

The lingering mist seemed to come alive, the light and shadow twisting and shifting, making Qingwu's figure in Obito's sight suddenly elusive and difficult to lock onto.

Although the Sharingan's perception allowed it to instantly see through the illusion, that brief moment of interference was enough.

Princess Tianxin kept her eyes closed, and after the illusion affected the masked man, her figure disappeared again.

"Magic - Meteor Shower!"

With a single gesture, Qingwu unleashed his magic, and a small patch of sky above his head suddenly turned crimson. A dozen or so meteorites, trailing long flames, hurtled down with terrifying force!

The masked man looked up, his scarlet pupils reflecting the falling fireball.

"Annoying trick!"

His voice was full of impatience. Although the ethereal form could make one immune to attacks, frequent use of it was a burden on his pupil power.

Snapped!

The masked man slammed his hands together in front of him!

Fire Release: Storm Dance!

A fire-style technique that combines Kamui's ability to distort space!

The space in front of him twisted violently, forming a small tornado. From the tornado spewed out scorching fire serpents that surged upwards, colliding with the falling meteor shower!

Boom! Rumble—!

Flames and meteorites collided and exploded violently in mid-air, creating waves of fire and radiating hot air that illuminated the entire square!

Countless sparks rained down, but Qingwu stood firmly on the ground, erecting several wooden walls to block the aftershocks.

However, before the explosions subsided, the masked man emerged from the churning flames, his chains striking Qingwu's neck with incredible speed.

"Spiritual communication!"

Two tall centaur leaders instantly stood in front of Qingwu, blocking with their spears.

The spear jammed the chain onto the shaft.

But the masked man exerted only a slight force, and the chain twisted strangely, bypassing the spear and slamming heavily into the centaur's chest!

With a cracking sound of bones breaking, the centaur screamed and flew backward, disappearing into white light upon landing.

But this obstacle caused Qingwu to fall behind again.

"Are your summoned beasts truly endless?" The masked man's voice was filled with irritation and probing.

He was clearly losing patience, and his attack pace noticeably quickened.

His figure flashed repeatedly, his chains swung horizontally, and he launched a relentless barrage of attacks, accompanied by kunai and shuriken that shot out from the Kamui space from time to time.

Kamui's ethereal transformation made him invincible, and Qingwu's attacks were either avoided or rendered immune.

Qingwu was forced into a defensive position, constantly using basic troops as "cannon fodder" and relying on the illusionary magic of Tianxin Shenji to barely maintain the balance of power.

"We must force him to reveal a weakness..." Qingwu's eyes sharpened.
