The hands of Uchiha Obito moved rhythmically like crab pincers, launching into a final mockery:
"Oh right, back in the day you couldn't defeat Senju Hashirama, and now you're declaring so boldly just because you're bullying a Reanimation Body..."
Uchiha Madara was utterly enraged!
No way, do you really think I couldn't defeat Senju Hashirama?
"You've angered me, Uchiha Obito..."
Uchiha Madara maneuvered the Susanoo, unleashing a barrage of dense Slash Waves at Uchiha Obito, while red-eyed and shouting:
"I don't believe your Voidification can be maintained indefinitely!"
"Don't you want to compete in eye power? As long as you dare reveal your true self for even a moment, my Susanoo and Limbo Clones will tear you to pieces in an instant!"
"You... and that scum Black Zetsu, I'll turn both your flesh and souls into dust!"
Uchiha Madara opted for the strategy of overwhelming force...
During Obito's Voidification, he could move, so forcing him into continuous Voidification required a barrage of relentless attacks...
Moreover, Obito's movement speed wasn't slow, so the attack frequency had to be exceedingly dense.
This greatly consumed Chakra and eye power.
But the enraged Uchiha Madara had decided to abandon graceful combat with Obito, opting for brute force to break through everything!
Uchiha Obito narrowed his eyes, watching the Slash Waves pierce through his body like a torrential downpour, frowning and feeling a bit troubled.
Black Zetsu inside him said at this moment:
"Obito... you've thoroughly angered him. Once Voidification ends, use Susanoo to hold on temporarily, and be wary of Uchiha Izuna's Dojutsu freezing space, try slipping into the Kamui Space to regroup."
"Take a short rest, then return."
Uchiha Obito nodded helplessly: "Though I'm uneasy with Aomi leaving my sight, I guess I have no choice... This old man going berserk is quite insane..."
Black Zetsu shook his head: "Don't worry, Obito, Aomi will be fine..."
But in truth, Black Zetsu was already laughing to himself.
He wanted to see Uchiha Madara this crazy!
As long as Madara was exerting effort, and with Uchiha Izuna nearby, it was impossible for Uchiha Obito to use Kamui to transfer Aomi's coffin...
Once Obito withdrew, Black Zetsu was ready with a second set of rhetoric.
He just needs to analyze the strength of Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Madara and their restraint on Obito, letting Obito realize the gap, and then make him become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki to save Aomi...
That way, the plan would be fully on track!
His persona and logic in Obito's mind wouldn't have any major loopholes...
A double whammy!
As Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Izuna, and Uchiha Madara were at a standoff, three pairs of red eyes locked in tension...
The slightly relieved Senju Tobirama glanced at the helpless-looking Senju Hashirama, feeling a sense of impending doom.
Something's off...
His Reanimation Jutsu, which he knows...
How could it allow his brother to have power on par with his past self? There's likely something amiss here that he's unaware of!
Who else is interfering?
And what Uchiha Obito mentioned, about Uchiha Madara's Yin Yang Release life, awakening a Mangekyo Dojutsu and skyrocketing his eye power, makes Senju Tobirama feel even more puzzled.
Although Uchiha Izuna speaks of stealing life force...
But Senju Tobirama only wants to say...
Uchiha Izuna is just a brute, hasn't done any basic research, and doesn't understand the basic principles of the Uchiha Clan's eye power!
No one...
Understands the Uchiha Clan better than him!
Even with Senju Hashirama's cells full of life force, they can only delay or replenish eye power consumption, even if enhanced, it's merely a slow and subtle increase, nothing like Obito's leap...
The strength exhibited by Uchiha Obito's Dual Kamui, from the intelligence heard, indicates a leap from Mangekyo to the level of the Eternal Eye in a short time!
Only something akin to high-level Mangekyo Chakra might accomplish this...
Overabundant life force might seem possible, but it's actually a mismatch!
This suggests that Black Zetsu is also highly peculiar, quite possibly not a product of Uchiha Madara's Yin Yang Release...
Senju Tobirama doesn't believe that Uchiha Madara's Jutsu could create a life form capable of advancing a Mangekyo to the Eternal Eye.
And as Senju Tobirama brainstormed, quickly analyzing these significant clues and sensitive information in his mind...
Inside Aomi, Kaguya's expression suddenly became unnatural.
Uchiha Madara's description of Black Zetsu—"a blob of black sludge," along with its role in nurturing Obito's eye power and controlling the power of White Zetsu...
Made Kaguya realize who was behind Uchiha Obito's sudden rise...
It could only be her third son—Otsutsuki Zetsu!
"Kaguya, what's wrong?"
Aomi turned his head, looking at Kaguya, whose face was somewhat troubled, and asked softly: "Is there something wrong?"
Kaguya, taken aback, tried to compose herself and shook her head: "No, Aomi... I was just thinking about when Isshiki and Hamura might make their move..."
Aomi nodded understandingly, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Obito and Uchiha Madara, and said softly: "If it were me, I would strike the moment Obito's Voidification ends..."
"If Isshiki has enough combat experience, he should choose to do the same."
Kaguya nodded half-believingly, gazing at Uchiha Obito in a combat stance, feeling a sense of comfort.
Though Black Zetsu wasn't as formidable as she, capable of ensnaring a strong Uchiha like Aomi...
But managing to recruit and cultivate a henchman at Obito's level showed commendable loyalty.
And Kaguya too pondered...
Though Aomi was exceptionally gifted, could he accurately guess Isshiki's actions this time?
For that was Otsutsuki Isshiki!
Time passed quickly...
At the moment when the Voidification was about to end.
"Get ready with Susanoo, Obito!" Black Zetsu shouted swiftly:
"Withstand Uchiha Madara's first wave of attacks, and use the momentum to shift aside, escape into the Kamui Space!"
Uchiha Obito nodded!
The bloodthirsty Uchiha Madara also sensed that Uchiha Obito's Voidification seemed to be nearing its end, and leaped into action!
The two Susanoos collided!
Dust instantly erupted, and the fierce shockwave tore the ground apart, resembling an earthquake!
The surrounding ninjas struggled to stabilize themselves...
As the aftershocks dissipated, a terrifying scene unfolded before everyone's eyes when the smoke cleared.
Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Izuna...
These four absolute powerhouses at the battlefield's center were pierced by densely packed black Yin Yang Release rods, lying in pools of blood.
And in the heart of the battleground.
A monk, his face marked by black lines resembling curse marks, smiled coldly and murderously: "Such talent, all you mortals..."
"But over the millennia, I've discovered your most fatal flaw: you love pointless internal conflicts..."
Jigen, or rather, Otsutsuki Isshiki...
Officially stepped onto the battlefield!
