Swish

While the night wind blew, carrying the pieces of dust around.

The original battlefield where there were constant noises of explosions, muffled impacts, and metallic collisions suddenly fell into a strange silence, and only the wailing sound of the injured Konoha Shinobi reverberated faintly all over the battlefield.

Fujin’s attack on Obito and the transfer of Tendo into the Kamui dimension at the hands of Obito happened almost simultaneously, therefore, the two most dangerous enemies on the battlefield disappeared at the same instant…

The pitiful Jiraiya who had just gotten out of the Chibaku Tensei seal and was ready to again fight against Tendo suffered from an enhanced Shinra Tensei, although injured quite seriously, Jiraiya still crawled out of the mound and looked around the battlefield with a dusty face, he was a total loss at what exactly is going on here.

While Jiraiya looked around the battlefield, Fujin looked at Obito’s corpse.

Obito’s corpse was just like his Susano’o, the moment it was cut into two halves at the hands of Fujin’s Bone Blade, it fell into a rapid withering state as if it has experienced several months of corrosion in an instant and started to slowly turn to dust.

“Was the attack successful?” muttered with an expectant look.

The series of attacks just now was well planned out and too fast; along with a touch of surprise that Obito could never think or react to, especially the Bone Blade of Fujin which contains the characteristics of All-Killing Ash Bones.

When Fujin effortlessly cut through Obito’s Susano’o, it was done at an extremely fast speed, without the slightest hindrance that even Obito was taken aback and might not have had enough time to be able to use the forbidden Genjutsu Izanagi that can change the destiny of the caster.

Therefore, Fujin is quite expectant in his heart, perhaps, Obito is really dead this time…

Although expectant, Fujin can’t help but cough out a mouthful of blood, “Cough-cough!” immediately, he staggered his footsteps because of a paralyzing sensation and barely stood up while leaning on the wall on the side.

It’s an extremely burdensome task to repeatedly use Dance of the Seedling Fern, to maintain such a large-scale Bone Forest… what’s more, as the characteristics of All-Killing Ash Bones are becoming more and more apparent, the deterioration of this Clone body has also become more and more serious.

If it weren’t for the fact that the physique of this Clone Body is extremely strong, Fujin is quite certain that his body might not have lasted for even ten minutes.

After stabilizing himself, Fujin again looked at Obito’s corpse and realized that Obito’s corpse has completely disappeared, even with his Bykukgan, Fujin couldn’t find even a single trace of Obito on the battlefield.

If the cause of disappearance was All-Killing Ash Bones, then at least ashes should remain on the battlefield, but now that there are no traces left, then there is only one possibility, and that is Izanagi.

‘Was this one still a step too late, or is it that Obito has Transcripted Izanagi into his Mangekyou Sharingan?’ thought Fujin with a sigh, but he wasn’t too disappointed.

Being able to force Obito to use Izanagi at the cost of one of his two Mangekyou Sharingan can already be considered a strategic success. Fujin’s main objective was not to kill Obito but to consume one of his Mangekyou Sharingan, of course, if Obito could be killed, then well and good, but if he can’t be killed, then at least one of his Mangekyou Sharingan will be consumed, right?

Izanagi may be a heaven-defying forbidden Genjutsu that can change the face of the caster, but it is not without a price.

Every time the user uses Izanagi, he must sacrifice the visual prowess of one of his eyes resulting in complete blindness of that eye. Even can’t think of a way to cure the blindness of that eye except for evolving that eye to a higher visual prowess like in the case of Uchiha Madara whore blindness was cured as his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan evolved into Rinnegan.

But this case doesn’t apply to Obito, because he doesn’t have any close blood relative left who can give him their eye… in other words, Obito inevitably lost one of his Mangekyou Sharingan at the moment he cast Izanagi!

So, condensing his fluctuating mood, Fujin watched the surroundings attentively, Fujin is fully prepared to again launch an attack on Obito the moment he reappears on the battlefield.

With the loss of one of his Mangekyou Sharingan, regardless of the left or right eye, Obito’s strength will definitely be reduced. As long as the place of his resurrection is within Fujin’s Byakugan visual range, Fujin will again launch an attack on Obito.

At that point even if Obito manages to save himself by using Izanagi, Fujin’s purpose would be achieved. After losing both of his Mangekyou Sharingan that have heaven-defying Dojutsu, Obito’s strength will immediately decline to the level where even Jonin could pose a serious threat to him, and elite Jonin might be able to kill him.

While Fujin was searching for the traces of Obito, Konoha Shinobi who were at the edge of the battlefield also rushed here.

Kakashi and his Tactical Force were the first ones to arrive, then Hyuga Kuroto and his Team-Ro, along with other Konoha Shinobi that didn’t include Tsunade who was busy transmitting Chakra to thousands of slugs spread all over the battlefield.

Most of the Konoha Shinobi who came here also had slugs on their shoulder, so even though they had some degrees of Injuries, the injuries were rapidly healed with the help of Katsuyu the slug, as a result, the Konoha Shinobi were in perfect state to fight the war.

Kakashi looked around, but found no enemy around, confused, he quickly asked Jiraiya, “Jiraiya-sama, where is the enemy?”

Jiraiya shook his head weakly…

He didn’t see the scene where Fujin used Tendo as a means to kill Obito just now, so he is also quite confused at this moment, he doesn’t know what happened, nor does he know where did Tendo disappear all of a sudden.

Kurenai who is part of the Team-Ro didn’t stop with the others, instead, she continued to run all the way to the place where Fujin was.

Fujin frowned when he looked at Kurenai coming towards him, ‘Why is she coming here?’, then regardless of her purpose, Fujin waved his hand towards Kurenai and said, “Stop, don’t come here…!”

Kurenai was taken aback by Fujin’s serious tone but still stopped obediently, although, she seems to want to say something.

Fujin narrowed his eyes at Kurenai, then noticed the extra slug that Kurenai is carrying and immediately understood her purpose of coming over… But Fujin still stopped her and did not take the slug, because he knows that Iryo Ninjutsu can not help him…

In fact, not only Kurenai but the other Konoha Shinobi were also puzzled by Fujin’s serious tone, but they are also elite shinobi, after all, so immediately raised their vigilance and looked around the battlefield with utmost vigilance.

After minutes of a wait during which everyone was extremely nervous, the figure of Obito appeared out of thin air a few hundred meters away from the battlefield.

There was no spiralling whirl, and no virtual figure, the appearance of Obito was like the creation of God in the void, replacing nothingness with Obito in an instant.

‘Izanagi… sure enough, he did use Transcription Seal to program Izanagi in his eyes…’ thought Fujin but he did not act.

The reason is, that the location of Obito’s resurrection is hundreds of meters away from him, so it will at least take more than an instant for Fujin to appear there, but before Fujin can do so, Obito had already entered the Kamui Dimension, so attacks would now be useless on him, therefore, Fujin decided to not waste his energy on useless attacks.

“That’s… Tobi!”

“Be careful everyone!”

“He is the one who uses Space-time Jutsu!?”

The sudden appearance of Obito caused a commotion among the Konoha Shinobi.

Kakashi tightly clenched the Special Flying Raijin Kunai in his hand and stared at tomoe-masked-Obito’s figure in the distance with a gloomy expression.

No matter how much Kakashi tries, he can never forget this person, after all, it was this person who stole Obito’s eye from him.

But Kakashi was also a bit hesitant to attack the other party, this is obviously because of his own doubt, ‘Is he really him?’ and Kakashi is desperate and wants to confirm the identity of this Tobi fellow… he wants to know whether this guy is really his best friend as Kakashi has guessed or someone else who managed to get his hands on his best friend’s eye through some way.

Being stared at by so many Konoha Shinobi, especially the scorching gaze of Kakashi, the thick face Obito doesn’t seem to care, at this moment, his left eye under the mask was closed, and his right eye was locked on Fujin, the expression under the tomoe mask was gloomy, and his voice was full of hatred, “This is the second time!”

Obito’s current mood at this time is extremely gloomy and filled with anger… This is the second time he has used Izanagi to survive in the face of Amatsukami members… which indirectly means that Obito has been killed twice by Amatsukami members… which is not something he can accept so easily!

Although extremely angry, Obito was also somewhat afraid to approach Fujin, he really couldn’t figure out how Fujin’s Bone Blade cut through Susano’o so easily!

You know that’s Susano’o, not butter!

And yet it was easily cut by a mere Bone Blade! This is simply Unreasonable!

…

At the same time at the outer wall of Konoha.

With the sound of breaking wind, the figure of Shisui and Itachi one by one appeared on the outer wall of Konoha, and the three pairs of eyes saw the scene of the village with a stunned expressions.

“Shisui-Kun, is this your village? Are you sure this is your village and not some battlefield?” The cat Fuwafuwa who is resting on Shisui’s shoulder asked him with a curious expression.

Even Shisui is taken aback by the scene in front of him, “How could the village be destroyed?”

Itachi had a dazed expression, “How could this happen to Konoha?”
