Chapter 342 Konoha Arrives Late
Chapter 342 Konoha Arrives Late
"No wonder I couldn't find the Three-Tails. I thought that after all these years, the Three-Tails hadn't been resurrected. It turns out that the Three-Tails had already been resurrected and was sealed inside your body."
Obito's voice grew increasingly excited, even trembling with emotion.
The Three-Tails, which I had been searching for, I finally found myself.
Now that the guy he hates the most has become the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails, there's another condition for killing him.
Rin, having activated her tailed beast transformation, has completely transformed into a gigantic, glowing behemoth.
The three-tailed isobu glows with a deep blue light, as if it were made entirely of seawater. It is covered in hard armor with spikes on its shell, and three huge tails sway behind it.
What was originally a light drizzle turned into a torrential downpour the moment the Three-Tails appeared.
"The air outside is still the same as before."
Isobu was not very happy to return to the ninja world in the form of a tailed beast.
After all, it didn't have much affection for this ninja world.
Before he was sealed away, he was underwater, which was no different from being in the sealed space.
Moreover, it wasn't originally the three-tailed creature from this world.
"Three-Tails, now that I've found you, I'll take you back with me!"
Obito moved, clapping his hands together and immediately unleashing a Wood Release technique.
After all, he had no other techniques left to use. His own fire-style techniques were completely ineffective against the Three-Tails, who was skilled in water-style techniques.
Seeing the trees growing wildly on the ground and rapidly stretching towards it, the Three-Tails didn't waste any words and simply opened its mouth.
"Water Release: Torrent Rasengan!"
A giant blue Rasengan quickly took shape in Isobu's mouth.
"Bang!"
The Rasengan shot out, instantly shattering Obito's Wood Release and flying towards him.
"Divine power!"
The Rasengan pierced through Obito's Hollowfied body, shattering a huge trench in the ground that connected to the Naka River behind him.
"Is this the power of a Tailed Beast? It's completely different from the Jinchūriki of the past. It's really powerful."
Beneath the mask, Obito frowned deeply. He knew that he was probably not facing a simple Jinchuriki, but a perfect Jinchuriki who could fully unleash the power of the Tailed Beast and would not lose consciousness or go berserk even when fully transformed into a Tailed Beast.
At this moment, a torrential rain was still falling from the sky, and behind him was the ever-flowing Nanga River.
The timing and location were both unfavorable, while the perfect Jinchūriki had the advantage of popular support.
Obito, who had been furious, had calmed down and knew that continuing the battle was pointless.
One wrong move and you could very well capsize here.
Just as Obito was pondering whether to continue the fight, Black Zetsu emerged from underground.
"Obi-tou, let's retreat first, the people from Konoha are coming."
"People from Konoha?"
Black Zetsu explained.
"It must have been the powerful tailed beast chakra fluctuations that the Three-Tails Jinchuriki unleashed that triggered the Konoha Sensory Team's warning. Jiraiya is leading his men this way now."
"In that case, let's retreat first."
As he spoke, Obito activated his Hollowfication, preparing to escape from the Kamui dimension with Black Zetsu. Before leaving, he looked at the Three-Tails.
"Just wait, Three-Tails. Now that I've discovered you, I'll capture you sooner or later and seal you inside the Gedo Mazo."
The Three-Tails sensed Obito's malice and, without hesitation, opened its mouth, gathering violent energy within.
"Tailed Beast Ball!"
"Boom!"
The Tailed Beast Ball roared past, flying straight towards Obito.
Obito was startled and immediately ran away with Black Zetsu.
With a deafening roar, the Tailed Beast Ball exploded.
"Listen, that's an explosion! There's a fight going on!"
Jiraiya looked up in the direction from which the explosion had come.
"This powerful chakra, and the explosion of this scale... could it be that a Jinchuriki was fighting nearby, causing the Tailed Beast to go berserk?"
His first thought was that the Jinchūriki had gone out of control and gone berserk; otherwise, how could a normal person create such a commotion during a fight?
"Hurry up!"
"Yes!"
The group of Konoha ninjas followed closely behind Jiraiya, running wildly forward.
"Damn it, that guy got away again."
Lin, now back in human form, removed her mask and complained somewhat discontentedly.
"His ability is so unfair. He's determined to run away, and there's no way to stop him. Master, do you have any way to break his ability?"
Tetsuya nodded in reply.
"Yes, it's actually quite simple to break his ability. As long as you have the same spatial manipulation ability as Izuna's Rinnegan, then his ability is nothing but air in front of you."
Back then, Izuna had just awakened the Rinnegan and wasn't familiar with his abilities, which allowed Obito to escape.
If Obito were to face Izuna now, Izuna could easily sever the barrier between the Kamui dimension and the ninja world, connecting them into a single space.
Obito's intangibility ability is essentially about hiding his body in the Kamui dimension, thus rendering attacks from the ninja world ineffective.
However, if Izuna were to directly eliminate the boundary between the Shinobi World and the Kamui dimension, creating a single space, Obito's Hollowfication would become ineffective.
"The Rinnegan? Forget about it. How could I possibly have something like that? Isn't there any other way?"
Tetsuya shrugged.
"There's really no good way. After all, with his intangibility, if he really wants to escape, you can't really stop him."
Lin scratched her head.
"It seems that the only way to completely defeat him is to deliver a fatal blow the next time he attacks me first."
"Alright, let's talk about it next time we run into him. We should head back, otherwise it won't be good if other people see us here."
Tetsuya had already sensed several chakra fluctuations approaching in this direction.
"Sasuke, how are you? Can you still stand up?"
"I'm alright, I've regained a little strength."
Sasuke got up from the recliner. Although he was still in excruciating pain, at least he could move around.
"Then let's go first. The ninja world is about to become very exciting."
Tetsuya put away the small stool, recliner, and other equipment, and put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder.
"Let's go back and rest for a while. It won't be long before it's our turn to perform."
As soon as he finished speaking, he activated Flying Thunder God Technique. The three of them disappeared from the riverbank, and the waters of the Naka River continued to surge, as if no one had ever been there at all.
Jiraiya led his men to the vicinity of the Nakagawa Shrine, which should now be called the shrine ruins.
After the battle between Sasuke and Itachi and the confrontation between Obito and Rin, the area has changed completely.
"What on earth happened here?!"
Jiraiya's expression was extremely solemn. Such destruction could not have been caused by a battle between ordinary people.
