Chapter 771: Where Did Obito Go?

“Yeah, this time it should last a bit longer.”

The Nine-Tailed replied, giving as much Chakra as it could to Naruto.

Dazzling golden light erupted from Naruto’s body once more as he entered Kurama Mode again.

Immediately after, the golden Nine-Tailed Chakra surged, and Naruto underwent Tailed Beast Transformation, intending to fight the Susanoo.

Nagato and Kakashi entered the Nine-Tailed Chakra to assist, preventing Uchiha Madara from using Wood Release to bind Naruto.

“Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance!”

Broken Mask Obito quickly formed hand seals, releasing a large-scale Fire Release attack on all the Ninjas present.

A giant fire serpent advanced rapidly in a spiral, forming a massive vortex of flames.

“Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!”

Rin Nohara, in her Water Breathing Chakra Mode, converted a large amount of water-attribute Chakra in a short time, spitting out a torrent of water like a meteorite that instantly extinguished the incoming flames.

Sizzle!!

As the flames were extinguished, a lot of water evaporated, creating a large amount of mist.

Taking advantage of the mist, Broken Mask Obito quietly approached Rin Nohara and reached out his hand toward her.

Since Rin Nohara had been sucked into the Kamui Dimension last time, Obito was paying more attention to her now. Seeing Broken Mask Obito try to make a move on her again, Obito seized the opportunity and threw a punch.

“Fire Release: Flame Fist!”

The flaming fist struck Broken Mask Obito’s body hard.

Obito’s expression changed drastically; it was a clone!

If it were the real body, Broken Mask Obito would have definitely used Kamui to dodge; it would be impossible to hit him.

Bang!

The Broken Mask Obito hit by Obito dissipated into smoke.

At the same time, the real Broken Mask Obito appeared, grabbed Rin Nohara, and with a twist of space, both disappeared from the battlefield and entered the Kamui Dimension.

Thud!

Rin Nohara punched Broken Mask Obito, knocking him back over ten meters.

“The Rin from the other world must have studied under Tsunade.”

Broken Mask Obito thought to himself.

The Yin Seal and that monstrous strength—it’s Tsunade’s style.

“Obito, you must have also had the dream of becoming Hokage and ending the war, right?”

Rin Nohara didn’t press the attack but instead asked.

Looking at the girl before him, who seemed to have stepped out of his fantasies, Broken Mask Obito’s vision blurred, as if he had returned to the past.

“Even though you lost, you were still amazing, Obito.”

When he failed to challenge Kakashi, others would only say he was overestimating himself; only Rin Nohara would praise his courage and determination.

“Honestly, late again. Obito, the probability of you running into an elderly person in need of help is just too high.”

He was often late because he helped the elderly, and Rin Nohara would occasionally complain about it.

But it was just a comment, and then she would make up for the mistakes caused by his tardiness.

At the graduation ceremony, everyone had left, but Rin Nohara kept waiting because he hadn’t arrived.

With no teacher present, Rin Nohara read the congratulatory words on the graduation certificate herself, congratulating him on his successful graduation.

“Let me see your cool figure as you become Hokage and save the world.”

Rin Nohara had always been watching him silently, coming out to help whenever he needed it.

When he tried to act tough and hide his injuries, she would expose them and treat him; when he was down and discouraged, she would offer encouragement and comfort, giving him the motivation to move forward again.

But, but… that gentle girl no longer exists; she was killed by this despairing world!

“Hokage? That doesn’t matter anymore. Thanks to a certain ‘fastest in the Ninja World’ who is always late, I no longer have any expectations for that position.”

Broken Mask Obito spoke mockingly, then walked toward Rin Nohara, appearing as if he were about to attack.

“Is that so? Then why have you been protecting me all this time, Obito?”

Rin Nohara asked.

It seemed like Broken Mask Obito was attacking her, but both times he brought her into the Kamui Dimension were when Uchiha Madara was using large-scale techniques.

Furthermore, Broken Mask Obito, who could hold his own against many powerful foes, was only fighting on equal terms when facing her alone, without actually hurting her.

Clearly, Broken Mask Obito was holding back.

According to Rin Nohara’s observation, it wasn’t just her; Broken Mask Obito was also looking fierce but deliberately holding back against Kakashi.

It was precisely because of this that Rin Nohara believed Broken Mask Obito still held onto his convictions and that there was a possibility for him to turn back.

“It’s only because you still have utility, and with your strength, you can’t affect the battle’s outcome anyway.”

Broken Mask Obito said coldly, without even glancing at her.

“You know, when I saw that the masked man was you, Obito, I was really surprised and shocked.”

Rin Nohara spoke her mind without concern.

“Obito isn’t a perfect person; he has many flaws. He’s reckless, hates reading theory books, and always likes to act tough, pretending he’s fine even when he’s hurt.”

Broken Mask Obito’s footsteps paused slightly, then he continued forward.

“But none of that can overshadow his shining qualities. He is brave, never giving up even when facing invincible enemies. He treasures his comrades, never abandoning them even at the cost of his life.”

Broken Mask Obito’s footsteps paused again, and he took another step, though the pause was longer this time.

“He is kind. Even for a stranger he’s meeting for the first time, or even when he has something important to do, Obito will put his own matters second to help someone in need.”

“Between an important entrance ceremony and an elderly person in trouble, Obito unhesitatingly chose to help the elderly person, even if it meant he might not be able to collect his materials and affect his admission.”

Broken Mask Obito came to a complete stop just two meters away from Rin Nohara.

“So, can you tell me where that brave, comrade-treasuring, and kind Obito went? I want to find him!”

Instead of retreating, Rin Nohara walked right up to him, staring intently into his eyes as she asked.

Broken Mask Obito’s lips moved, but he seemed to have lost his voice, unable to make a sound.

“Rin, watch out!”

Space twisted, and Kakashi and an Obito Shadow Clone appeared within the Kamui Dimension.

The attack range of the Perfect Susanoo was too vast; Uchiha Madara’s attack had just caught them, so they couldn’t enter the Kamui Dimension immediately.

Broken Mask Obito gave the Obito Shadow Clone a deep look, said nothing, did nothing, and simply activated Kamui to leave the dimension.

“Rin, are you okay?”

Obito quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.

“I’m fine.”

Rin Nohara shook her head.

The only combat here was the single punch she had landed on Broken Mask Obito.

“You say you’re fine, but you’ve been caught in a genjutsu.”

Obito noticed the chaotic Chakra in Rin’s body and stepped in to release the genjutsu for her.

“This is?”

Panting, Kakashi discovered an almost imperceptible water stain on the ground.

“Adult Kakashi, take a break. I’m going to destroy all the Ninja tools in his Kamui Dimension so he can’t throw them at us later.”

Obito planned to cause some trouble for Broken Mask Obito before heading back out.

Because going out early wouldn’t really help; the battle outside was at such an exaggerated level that even Orochimaru and Jiraiya were just sidelined.

For now, it mainly depended on Naruto’s efforts, followed by Nagato and Killer Bee.

“Hmm?”

While causing destruction, Obito suddenly noticed a small glint of golden light.

He quickly dug through the pile of Ninja tools, and a pair of golden earrings came into view.

“Could these be the potara earrings from a parallel world?”

Obito quickly grabbed the earrings, feeling a bit puzzled.

Since he had such a powerful Ninja tool, why hadn’t Broken Mask Obito used it? Was there no suitable candidate for fusion?

Obito didn’t overthink it; the reason didn’t matter. What was important was that he had obtained a powerful Ninja tool that could determine the course of the battle!

“Adult Kakashi, take us out quickly! We’re going to win this battle!”

Obito said excitedly to Kakashi.

“Win?”

Kakashi looked at Obito in confusion.

Although Uchiha Madara couldn’t easily deal with them, overall, they were at a disadvantage.

Reading the correct version! First published on 6=9+Book Bar.

“You’ll understand in a moment. Just take us out first.”

Obito urged.

There was no time to explain; they had to defeat their opponent before the Gedo Statue finished evolving, or the tide of battle would change again.

Although Kakashi didn’t understand where Obito’s confidence came from, he believed Obito wouldn’t speak without reason and immediately activated Kamui to bring Obito and Rin Nohara out of the Kamui Dimension.

“Kakashi, Nagato!”

After leaving the Kamui Dimension, Obito threw the earrings to Nagato and Kakashi respectively.

Theoretically, using them on the strongest, Naruto, and the second strongest, Nagato, might result in a fused Ninja whose strength far surpassed Uchiha Madara’s.

But their compatibility was unknown, they hadn’t practiced fusion, and with a ‘tenant’ living inside Naruto’s body, there were too many uncontrollable factors.

Nagato and Kakashi were different; they had tried fusing before, and their physical compatibility and complementary abilities were top-tier among many fused Ninjas.

“potara earrings!”

Kakashi looked surprised, immediately erupted with Chakra, grabbed a Potara Earring, and put it on his ear.

“Bansho Tenin!”

A powerful suction force erupted from Nagato’s hand, quickly pulling the earring to him, and he put it on just as fast.

As both of them put on the earrings, a powerful attraction force pulled them together rapidly. The moment their bodies touched, a dazzling white light enveloped them.

When the white light dissipated, a tall, thin, white-haired Ninja appeared in everyone’s sight.

“This is…”

Seeing the face that combined elements of both Nagato and Kakashi, Kakashi showed a look of surprise.

Swish!

Curious and proactive, Uchiha Madara swung a giant blade dozens of meters long at Kakamon.

“Watch out!”

Naruto shot out a Chakra arm, temporarily blocking the Susanoo’s giant blade to buy time for dodging.

However, Kakamon didn’t dodge, merely looking indifferently at Uchiha Madara at the head of the Susanoo with his Rinnegan.

Boom!!

The giant blade severed Naruto’s Chakra arm and slammed heavily onto the ground where Kakamon stood.

“Interesting.”

Looking at the giant blade suspended above Kakamon’s head—which wouldn’t descend even a single centimeter no matter how much power Uchiha Madara forced the Susanoo to exert—Madara showed a look of surprise.

That strike of his was enough to shatter mountains.

Logically, even the aftershock should have been enough to kill a Ninja countless times over, yet it stopped exactly two centimeters above Kakamon’s head, unable to move an inch further.

“Thunder Breathing, Total Concentration!”

Kakamon’s breathing rhythm changed abruptly as he synthesized all the gathered natural energy into Senjutsu Chakra, entering both the Breathing Technique Chakra Mode and Sage Mode while also opening the Transparent World, instantly maxing out all his states.

Crackle!!

Erupting with a massive amount of lightning, Kakamon was exceptionally dazzling in the dark night.

Swish!

He suddenly drew the Enma from his back, and a massive bolt of lightning flashed.

Crack!

The Susanoo’s giant blade snapped at the sound, dissipating into points of light in the air.

“As expected, fusion is the way to go.”

Obito felt a sense of relief.

With Kakamon plus Naruto and Killer Bee, Uchiha Madara shouldn’t be able to cause much more trouble.

“So strong!”

Sitting on the ground refining Chakra, Kakashi watched this scene with a whirlwind of thoughts.

According to Yamato, the Kakashi of Muzuki’s world had the strength to easily kill a Jonin at age ten.

As his counterpart, he felt truly lacking.

If he had been as excellent as that ‘Kakashi’ during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, perhaps the outcome would have been entirely different.

“I’ll help you!”

Naruto looked excited and immediately took the opportunity to charge at Uchiha Madara.

“Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!”

Uchiha Madara wore an unprecedentedly serious expression, launching a thick wooden dragon to bite at the Nine-Tailed-transformed Naruto.

The Nine-Tailed’s power was immense, and with the unknown depth of Kakamon’s strength, if he didn’t fight with everything he had, he might actually be sealed.

“Shinra Tensei!”

Kakamon quickly flashed to Naruto’s side, erupting with a powerful repulsive force that knocked the wood dragon back a distance.

“Morning Tiger!”

Immediately after, Might Guy instantly opened the seventh gate and launched a tiger-shaped air cannon, completely destroying the wood dragon.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

With everyone’s help, Naruto successfully approached Uchiha Madara and shot out all nine of his thick tails at once, binding Uchiha’s Susanoo.

Killer Bee, also in his Tailed Beast form, extended his thick tentacles to help Naruto bind the Susanoo.

Boom!!

Kakamon erupted with the maximum Chakra he could use, the lightning on his body intensifying to its strongest point.

As he raised the Enma, which was infused with a massive amount of Lightning Release Chakra, dark clouds covered the full moon, and a barrage of lightning bolts struck down from the sky, further augmenting Kakamon’s electrical power.

Swish!

Uchiha Madara’s expression was grave as his powerful visual prowess suddenly erupted. The Susanoo’s four giant hands exerted force together, breaking free from Naruto and Killer Bee’s restraint, and swung another intact greatsword, unleashing a massive blade of energy.

“Musou no Hitotachi!”

Kakamon swung the Enma down violently. The slash flew out, and the dark sky was instantly illuminated by an unprecedentedly dazzling purple light.

Wherever the Purple Lightning blade light passed, everything was torn apart, as if space itself could hardly withstand this terrifying strike.

The blue and purple sword energies collided. After a brief stalemate, the blue sword energy rapidly dissipated amidst Uchiha Madara’s drastically changing expression.

“Tailed Beast Ball!”

At that moment, Naruto and Killer Bee also finished condensing their Tailed Beast Balls and launched them at Uchiha Madara.

Rumble!!!

After a violent explosion, the giant blue giant vanished, leaving a long, narrow trench and a deep crater on the ground, with Uchiha Madara’s body constantly regenerating within the pit.
