In the standoff—the four also got a clear view of the two opponents' contrasting yet unified appearances.
Hashirama: "Those two's features and attire—remarkably symmetrical."
Naruto: "Both androgynous freaks."
Sasuke: "We still know nothing about the black-faced one's abilities."
Obito: "Leave it to me."
His left Rinnegan focused its viewpoint. And across nearly a thousand meters—he precisely locked onto Tōra.
—Ōtonobe.
This was a dojutsu that photographed through the eyes. Recorded the opponent's parameters. And simulated combat on a mental battlefield to obtain enemy intelligence.
As for the superhuman visual range—it benefited from the telescope function attached to this dojutsu.
After the simulation ended—Obito's expression looked grave.
Naruto asked, "Hard to deal with?"
Obito said, "Yeah. Simulated a hundred times. Didn't win once. But I've mostly analyzed his intel. I'll share it with you all."
He formed a two-finger seal.
—Mind Body Transmission Technique.
Coincidentally—the opponents were also observing.
Konra: "Hey—that bitter-faced guy just used a dojutsu, right?"
Tōra: "Ah—he definitely used one."
Konra: "At this distance—any dojutsu that can activate must have telescope function assistance."
Tōra: "Dojutsu with telescope functions are few and far between. Looks like it's that technique for sure."
Konra: "Ah—that technique."
Tōra: "That's a damage-control technique. To judge if they're one-hit fodder. If you can't win—running immediately is the wise move. But he's not running."
Konra: "His brain's broken."
Tōra: "Definitely broken."
In less than ten seconds—the Mind Body Transmission finished sharing intel.
Obito: "Got it?"
Hashirama: "That's insane. He's basically not someone you can fight one-on-one!"
Naruto: "Then according to plan—we separate those two first, dattebayo!"
—Forward-Reverse Yomotsu Hirasaka.
To Naruto's left and right—two Yomotsu Hirasaka opened simultaneously. Their far ends appearing between Konra and Tōra.
After sensing it—the two immediately retreated left and right.
Naruto thrust both hands in. Extending from both sides of the Forward-Reverse Yomotsu Hirasaka—his golden chakra cloak stretched out. Each transforming into a Ten-Tails head. The condensed dark-red Tailed Beast Balls blasted toward the two.
Konra: "This guy acts like he's in his own home."
Tōra: "Then let's discipline him with house rules!"
Swish. Swish.
The two flashed left and right respectively. Facing the rapidly advancing Tailed Beast Balls before their eyes—there was obviously no better method.
—Preta Path.
Whoosh. Whoosh. As sealing barrier jutsu unfolded before their palms—the Tailed Beast Balls stopped advancing. And rapidly shrank.
Naruto smiled. "Just as I expected. Tailed Beast Balls are still strong. Very few can take them head-on—so they can only use Preta Path."
Whoosh. Accompanied by a space-time vortex—Obito appeared above Tōra.
Tōra glanced with his peripheral vision.
During the Mind Body Transmission.
"Listen—that guy's left eye power is preset in advance. When endangered—it evades one attack!"
"Can it evade any attack?"
"Right. Whether it's dojutsu, taijutsu, or other methods. It forcibly evades everything!"
"No exceptions?"
"None. In the simulation—even when covered by my Omotodaru time-stop barrier—he could bizarrely escape. This evasion is mandatory. Unrelated to attack range, intensity, or jutsu principles. And because it's preset in advance—there's no weakness of being unable to react in time."
"Then wouldn't that be flawless?"
"No—it's not flawless. Each time he presets the dojutsu—it can only evade one attack. Until the next preset—there's a tiny gap. About 3 seconds!"
"Hmph—3 seconds. Killing someone in that. Easy."
"Sasuke—you're wrong. Though he has this ability—his own speed and combat awareness are incredibly formidable. This ability is at most icing on the cake for him!"
"Meaning he doesn't rely on this dojutsu?"
"Yeah. To break his technique—we must first force him to trigger this dojutsu. That requires organizing a lethal and effectively hitting attack. Get my meaning?"
"Ah—landing the hit is the prerequisite. Also—his preset dojutsu trigger condition is it won't activate unless it's lethal or causes injury."
"Right—Naruto analyzed it correctly. But forcing him to trigger the dojutsu is just the first step. In the following 3 seconds—we must complete a relay. Use another lethal attack to actually hit him. To possibly defeat him!"
"What a troublesome guy. Reminds me of fighting Pain's Deva Path."
"His ability is way trickier than Pain's. At least Pain's Shinra Tensei could theoretically be endured. But his technique is truly unsolvable within its effective period."
Right now.
"Absorbing a Tailed Beast Ball of this scale takes time. So if we attack now—it'll definitely trigger his eye power!"
Obito's left eye focused.
—Kamui.
Whoosh.
The moment the Kamui vortex erupted—Tōra disappeared from his position without any warning.
But this result was something Obito already knew.
Crackle.
Almost simultaneously—Naruto and Sasuke charged toward each other.
—Amenotejikara.
Swish. Amenotejikara swapped the air. Tōra was forcibly pulled before them.
The Truth-Seeking Ball Rasengan and Six Paths Yin Lightning formed a pincer attack.
Tōra smiled. "Ah—looks like you understand my Futsunushi no Mikoto. Keke—trying to instantly kill me with a surprise attack."
Crack. Crack.
Tōra's hands crossed. Precisely gripping Naruto and Sasuke's wrists.
The Truth-Seeking Ball Rasengan before Naruto's palm attacked independently.
The black lightning in Sasuke's palm sharpened into a curved blade.
Tōra sneered coldly. "Keke—naive."
He lowered his head. Dodged both. Then his fists shot out like lightning—striking left and right.
Naruto was slightly surprised. "This guy's reflexes rival Dad's!"
Thud. Naruto took the hit and retreated. No major damage.
Sasuke's abdomen was directly kicked through with a gaping bloody hole. Enduring the pain—he activated his right eye dojutsu.
—Amenominakanushi.
Whoosh.
But the 3 seconds were up. Tōra preset Futsunushi no Mikoto again. Vanishing from his position. And dodging Amenominakanushi.
This also meant the preemptive offensive ended in failure.
"This guy..."
Beyond shock—Sasuke pressed his right hand—which held Yang power—to his abdomen. Sizzle sizzle sizzle. The bloody hole rapidly repaired.
Tōra grinned. "Keke~ You've had your show. Now it's my turn."
Everyone's expressions tensed.
During the Mind Body Transmission.
"By the way—what's his right eye power?"
"Honestly—I don't seem to have grasped the essence of his right eye ability either. But I can confirm it's paired with the left eye's absolute evasion. Absolute hit!"
"Absolute hit?!"
"Right. The left eye's absolute evasion is a dojutsu used on himself. The right eye dojutsu is used on enemies. So he needs to lock on with his right eye first."
"Then how specifically does it manifest? What is it?"
"Put it this way. Even if he punches at air—the fist will land on whoever he's locked onto. Not even Kamui's intangibility can escape!"
Everyone knew what that meant.
At this level—who didn't have one or two moves that were instant-kills upon landing.
Rumble.
Tōra turned toward Obito. "Kekeke—you know Omotodaru, right? After the others are killed—you can reverse time to revive them."
Swish.
Obito's pupils contracted as he rapidly retreated.
Tōra half-covered his right eye. And through the exposed gap—that white Rinnegan flickered. "Keke—it's useless. Because my right eye's Futsunushi no Mikoto also has a telescope!"
Crackle.
Lightning flashed as Naruto suddenly closed in.
His thinking was: Though I don't know what you're planning—long-range dojutsu focusing requires highly concentrated attention. And definitely can't account for evasion. So attacking now will definitely trigger his left eye ability. And when the left eye ability activates with forced evasion—the right eye dojutsu focus will also be interrupted.
This was the judgment Naruto made in a split second.
Swish.
But bizarrely—while leaning back to the extreme limit to avoid Naruto's attack—Tōra's wandering right eye vision swung dramatically. Its viewpoint precisely focusing on Obito.
Using modern FPS sniper game terminology—this operation is called flick shot.
"Keke—this is the correct way to use telescope."
—Futsunushi no Mikoto: Attack.
