On Fujin’s side

Fujin, who was just sucked inside the Sword of Totsuka along with Tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito suddenly appeared on a strange plane with a red sky, red clouds, red ground, and red river… at a clear glance it can be concluded that this is a strange plane with everything red in colour.

This strange red plane is none other than the sealing Plane inside the Gourd of the Sword of Totsuka, and Fujin who suddenly appeared here was still in his previous posture of waving goodbye to Obito and did not have enough time to put away that winning smile on his face that he had when the Sword of Totsuka had penetrated through Obito’s body back in the Shinobi World.

On the other side, the tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito was also staring at Fujin with a posture slightly leaned forward; he was in the state of using Kamui on Fujin as if he was trying to suck Fujin inside his Kamui dimension.

Fate is also quite ironic, two people, Madara (Uchiha Obito), and Fujin (Hyuga Kuroto), who have been playing and manipulating the entire Shinobi world in the palm of their hands for the past few years, fighting, struggling, and calculating against each other directly or indirectly until only a few moments ago are now together trapped in a strange Genjutsu world and became a pair of brothers in difficulty.

The atmosphere is extremely embarrassing at this moment, and how awkward both of them are feeling is not something others can understand.

Especially Fujin, he was completely speechless… and could only put down his waving hand helplessly so as to avoid more embarrassment… No way, his face is not thick enough to bear this cringy feeling.

Fujin went as far as to use himself as bait as a temptation to ensnare Obito into a carefully prepared trap. Fujin had calculated everything, prepared countermeasures against all the situations that may arise, and was even prepared to sacrifice this precious Clone body of his if it could solve the threat of Obito for good.

The moment Sword of Totsuka pierced through Obito as planned, Fujin thought that the threat of Obito has finally been dealt with, and he was extremely happy and relaxed…

But it didn’t take long for Fujin to realize that Fate is a real Bitch… and Obito’s luck is still against the sky.

Despite considering all the possibilities, Fujin never even thought of the possibility that he too would be sealed inside the Sword of Totsuka just because his Chakra was linked with Obito at the moment when Obito was sucked inside the Sword of Totsuka…

Although Fujin wants to curse someone, cursing is of no use… so he could only sigh helplessly.

And while Fujin was sighing helplessly, Obito also recovered from the sudden change of scenery… he was deeply shocked at this moment, and finally realized that he has been calculated again.

Although, Obito is unclear about what plane this is, as an Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, his sensitivity to Yin Chakra made him realize that he has been trapped in a Genjutsu plane, and this Genjutsu plane is not an ordinary Genjutsu plane.

Of course, Obito is still quite confident in himself and his abilities, so he is not too worried about this sudden change… So after recovering from his shock, he curiously looked around for a while, observing and analyzing the Genjutsu plane, Obito muttered, “Huh, is this your method of dealing with me? What exactly is this place?”

Fujin didn’t answer just smirked coldly under his mask.

Although, Fujin knows that this is the Genjutsu plane inside the Gourd of the Sword of Totsuka, however, this is the first time he has personally witnessed the power of the Sword of Totsuka and entered inside the sealing space of this spiritual artefact so when it comes to knowledge about this plane, he is not much different from Obito, therefore, Fujin really doesn’t have much information to answer to Obito.

Seeing that Fujin did not answer his question, Obito was a little annoyed and sneered disdainfully, “You think this mere Genjutsu can trap me? Stupid!”

Then Obito activated his Mangekyou Sharingan in order to dispel the Genjutsu.

The moment Obito activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, Fujin focused his gaze on Obito and observed him carefully.

Looking at Obito’s attempt at breaking through the Sword of Totsuka, Fujin had a complete expression.

The current Fujin himself doesn’t have any method to be able to break through the seal of the Sword of Totsuka.

If he still wants to get out of there, it appears that Fujin will have to rely on Obito to be able to break the seal of Sword of Totsuka. but at the same time, Fujin really doesn’t want Obito to be able to break through the Sword of Totsuka.

Fujin knows that if Obito can break through the seal of Sword of Totsuka, then Fujin will also be able to find his way out of there, but if Obito is really capable of breaking through the seal of Sword of Totsuka, then Fujin will no longer have any method to be able to kill or restrain Obito… at least, not until, Fujin completes his Project Godhood.

Therefore, Fujin’s current mood is quite contradictory.

The two waited for a while as Obito started to dispel the Genjutsu, but seeing that there was no change in the surroundings, Fujin immediately snickered in a mocking tone.

Hearing Fujin’s mocking snicker, Obito’s face was hot in embarrassment, and said, “This Genjutsu is a little tricky, I’ll give you that… but that’s it… there is nothing in this Shinobi World that can trap me… for I am… UCHIHA MADARA!”

As soon as the voice fell, Obito activated Kamui, and suddenly a spiralling whirl appeared on Obito’s tomoe mask and started to suck his body inside the Kamui dimension.

‘He can still use Kamui?’ Fujin’s eyes condensed and he stared at Obito with a stunned expression.

However, it didn’t take long for his stunned expression to return to normal a relieved one as Kamui didn’t work.

Although a spiralling whirl of Kamui appeared around Obito’s body when Obito activated Kamui, in actuality it did nothing, Obito wasn’t sucked inside the Kamui Dimension, nor was the seal of Sword of Totsuka broken, which greatly relieved Fujin.

Because if Kamui could deal with the seal of Sword of Totsuka so easily, then this sealing artefact would become useless against Obito, therefore, Fujin was greatly relieved, ‘Sword of Totsuka is really a spiritual artefact… even Kamui can’t break through the seal!’

Although Fujin doesn’t have much information about the Sword of Totsuka itself, the deeds of Itachi in the Cannon proved that this Spiritual Artifact is really strong.

The fact that Itachi was able to seal Nagato’s Edo Tensei with the Sword of Totsuka alone proves this fact.

It must not be forgotten that Edo Nagato was capable of using all the abilities of the Six Paths of Pain thanks to the Rinnegan. He had enough strength to single-handily defeat the Kyuubi Chakra Mode Naruto, Killer Bee, the perfect Jinchuriki of Hachibi.

Even then, the Edo Nagato was easily sealed by Itachi with the help of the Sword of Totsuka, so, it can be understood that the Sword of Totsuka is a really buggy artefact. And this is all the more reason for Fujin to be relieved.

Of course, Obito’s emotions were exactly opposite to that of Fujin… the moment he realized that even Kamui is not working, he finally panicked, “How could this happen? Exactly what kind of Jutsu did you use?”

Fujin said in a taunting tone, “Do you really think that this one would tell you? Besides, such a pesky Jutsu should be nothing for you… after all, you are the great ‘Uchiha Madara-sama’, right?”

Obito’s face sank upon hearing Fujin’s taunt… Obito really wants to kill the other party, but knows that he can’t in the current situation, so he can only clench his fist in anger, and speak, “There’s no need to play around… I believe that you should also be able to feel it too… the changes happening to us since the moment we arrived here, you don’t want to spend eternity here with me, do you?”

As soon as he appeared here in this red plane, Obito was able to vaguely feel lethargic and drunk… he realized that this is the result of the Genjutsu, which is making him feel drunk. Therefore, initially, he did not choose to fight with Fujin but gave priority to escape.

Obito instinctively felt that if he really got drunk and didn’t escape in due time, then he would forever be trapped here, with no way out.

It’s just that Obito didn’t expect this Jutsu would be so tricky. He wasn’t able to dispel the Genjutsu even with the Mangekyou Sharingan and Kamui isn’t working either.

With no other way left, Obito had to finally look at Fujin. Although Obito is not hundred per cent certain, he has a feeling that Fujin is also trapped here similar to him, therefore, Obito thinks that perhaps the other party would be willing to cooperate with him in order to escape here.

Of course, Obito thinks too much, but Fujin is not as panicked as Obito and thus chose to remain silent.

Fujin naturally doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life inside the Sword of Totsuka, for him, although the threat of Obito is great, it is far from worthy enough to sacrifice his own life.

Fujin is very clear that as long as he successfully completes Project Godhood and achieves Kekkei Mora similar to Otsutsuki Kaguya, then what Obito? What Nagato? What Madara? And what Kaguya?

There will be countless easy ways to resolve these threats.

So, it is very important that he goes out of the Sword of Totsuka and continue to work on his Project Godhood… but Fujin is not in a hurry to team up with Obito to escape the seal of the Sword of Totsuka, because Fujin still has another method to escape out of here, and that is Itachi.

Itachi holds the Sword of Totsuka, and if he has a method to help Fujin get out of there while making sure that Obito remains sealed inside, then naturally Fujin would opt to use that method. After all, it took a lot of effort to seal Obito in Sword of Totsuka, there’s no telling if this method would work on him a second time… Therefore, Fujin doesn’t intend to cooperate or help Obito break out of the seal.

And while Fujin was silent, suddenly the red mist in the surroundings started to get thicker and denser, and along with the mist, a strong aroma of Sake spread in the surroundings.

As soon as the strong aroma of Sake appeared, it increased the dizzying effects on both Fujin and Obito, as a result affecting their thinking process and cognition… and paralyzing their minds to process any thoughts.

Obito became more anxious, “Damn, what are you still hesitating for?!”

Fujin was silent and while trying to resist the tipsy feeling, he started to consider where possibilities that would help him get out of there.

And while Fujin was thinking, suddenly a voice appeared, “Fujin, I have yet to figure out a way to properly liberate the seal… To release out of here, I would need your cooperation.”

Fujin wasn’t much surprised upon hearing this familiar voice, and asked doubtfully, “How should this one cooperate?”

Obito also perked up his ears, listening attentively to seize the opportunity to get out of there.

“Wait for a little while, I will use my Mangekyou Sharingan to trigger the seal from the outside… The moment I trigger the seal, make sure to use that opportunity and find the method to escape here. Additionally, make sure to remain conscious, and don’t fall into the Genjutsu… because if you were to fall into the Genjutsu… then there would be no escape… At least, I don’t think escape would be possible at that point…!”

The moment he heard these words, Fujin’s face changed and he thought to himself with a sigh, ‘Well, it appears that Itachi can’t bring me out without preventing Obito’s escape… sigh… this is troublesome!’

Although helpless, Fujin remained calm. He didn’t bother to talk any nonsense and was silently waiting for the opportunity as Itachi said.

Obito is now fully aware of the situation, and understands that there is only one opportunity… If this opportunity were to be missed, everything would be over and he would have to kiss goodbye to Project Tsuki no Me for good, which is something he doesn’t intend to do, no matter what. Therefore Obito was completely alert at this moment and waiting… waiting for Homusubi to trigger the seal so that he too can escape.

Fujin and Obito didn’t have to wait for very long, and soon a red beam of light shooting through the sky appeared in the red plane.

This is undoubtedly the opportunity Itachi created by triggering the Sword of Totsuka from the outside… At the moment of the trigger, a subtle connection between the outside world and the inside of Sword of Totsuka was established.

Fujin and Obito looked at each other, and both understood that the opportunity has come.

The very next instant, Obito used all the Visual Prowess of his Mangekyou Sharingan, trying to create a gap in the sealing space.

With the input of Obito’s Visual Prowess, a crack finally appeared in the sealing space, but this crack was too small for either of the two to pass through.

“Damn it!” Obito let out a desperate roar, he used every cell in his body to squeeze out his chakra and used that to widen the crack of the sealing space, but no matter how hard he tried, it didn’t work… Obito understood that his Visual prowess alone is not enough to open the gap in the sealing space, but there is no one else here who can support him with Visual Prowess to widen the crack.

Seeing no method working, Obito became more and more desperate, and finally thought of sacrificing one of his Mangekyou Sharingan… If he were to sacrifice one of his Mangekyou Sharingan, then his strength would decrease by several levels.

Although his strength will decrease, at least he will be able to escape from this sealing space.

And just when Obito was about to sacrifice one of his Mangekyou Sharingan, suddenly, an inexplicably powerful Visual Prowess appeared out of nowhere, and instantly widened the crack in the sealing space.

Following the source of Visual Prowess that suddenly burst out, Obito looked at Fujin with a doubtful expression, “You also have a Dojutsu?”

Fujin didn’t even bother to look at Obito, nor answered his question… the moment, the gap in the sealing space widened, his body flashed, and disappeared.

It’s a pity that Fujin didn’t know of Obito’s thoughts of sacrificing his Mangekyou Sharingan, if he knew, then he would sigh in pity that such a good opportunity is wasted.

Obito stared at the disappearing figure of Fujin, and his face became more and more solemn… Earlier, he didn’t even consider the possibility that Fujin might have some sort of Dojutsu…

And now that Obito has witnessed the power of Fujin’s Dojutsu, Obito, is more afraid of him… At the same time, he is also grateful that he did not sacrifice his Mangekyou Sharingan… because if he did that, then his situation would have become more passive.

‘One after another… just where are these freaks coming from?’ With this complicated thought in his mind, Obito also took advantage of the gap in the sealing space and escaped out of the Sword of Totsuka.
