"You can observe? You can hypnotize? You can use Genjutsu? Good! I'll split my Chakra evenly so you can observe properly! If you can find my real body, I lose."
At this moment, ten Tsunades, ten Inos, and ten Shizunes surrounded Obito.
His crimson Sharingan spun several times, but he couldn't discern the real bodies of the three.
Ten Tsunades roared simultaneously, their fists attacking Obito from all directions.
Ino, on her side, coordinated her attacks with Tsunade; a punch from one, a kick from another, assaulting him like a flurry of butterflies. Shizune remained on guard, carefully observing the masked man for any weaknesses.
Tsunade's taijutsu was superior to Obito's. In less than twenty moves, Obito was struck three times, but he evaded all three with his phasing ability.
Ino would occasionally throw a Rasengan or spray a highly potent poison.
It must be said that phasing truly is a divine technique!
Tsunade and her disciples fought for two minutes, unable to even graze him, feeling like a rat trying to pull a turtle—utterly helpless.
If they had mastered Flying Thunder God, they could have replicated the Fourth Hokage's battle with Obito, but unfortunately, none of them had mastered it.
If they were to force its use now, their reaction speed would be insufficient to exploit the brief interval when Obito transitions from solid to phased.
Moreover, Obito also possessed Izanagi and Hashirama cells; this guy was simply a bug.
Obito didn't really have any high-damage Ninjutsu. Uchiha Itachi had Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, but Obito probably only knew Great Fireball Technique, and at most, Phoenix Flower Jutsu. Considering Obito's skill level at the time, Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs Jutsu should have been White Zetsu's Ninjutsu.
Obito even had to use an iron pipe to stab Konan. The battle of 600 billion Exploding Tags, which should have been a high-stakes fight, was made to look as low-class as a street brawl by him in the end.
He didn't know Ninjutsu, but he relied solely on phasing, using one trick to conquer all.
This technique didn't require hand seals; it could be activated with a mere thought.
Phasing allowed him to remain undefeated.
Tsunade and her disciples coordinated skillfully, but no matter how good their coordination, it couldn't match the speed of Obito's thoughts. In half a second, or even a third of a second, he could phase himself.
How could they fight him then?
Minato Namikaze could seize a tenth-of-a-second gap, using his faster-than-thought neural reaction speed to use Flying Thunder God and Rasengan to gravely injure him, but Tsunade and the other two didn't have that ability. Their fighting style wasn't suited for that approach.
"Oh, it seems the main event has arrived. Well then, I shall take my leave. Ladies, I wish you a pleasant weekend." Obito glanced into the distance, then ignored Tsunade's Super Strength Fist, his body sinking and completely disappearing.
Damn it! Even Ino felt speechless. This person's Mangekyo ability was too unfair. Forget about gouging out his eye, she couldn't even find an opportunity to smash Obito's mask and let Shizune reunite with her old classmate.
The three of them had been struggling with him for a long time, but they hadn't gained anything.
Obito's goal of instigating a fight between the two sides was not hard to guess. His method was crude, but it had to be admitted that often, the simpler things are, the more effective they are.
As soon as Obito disappeared, before Tsunade and the others could discuss, they heard a "thump-thump" sound, like horse hooves, approaching from a distance and ringing in their ears.
Akatsuchi, who had been knocked unconscious earlier, had the best physique. The three-hundred-pound man climbed out of the water tank, seemingly intending to block, but was kicked by the Five-Tails and went directly to eat dirt.
The Jinchuriki named Han had completely transformed into his Tailed Beast form. He became a pure white, horned giant beast resembling a horse, galloping through the streets.
The giant beast dragged Five-Tails behind him, exuding a chilling killing intent.
The Five-Tails' eyes were crimson, a sign of being controlled by the Sharingan. His running speed grew faster and faster; even the Third Tsuchikage, who could fly, was left far behind, not to mention Kitsuchi, whose mobility was never particularly agile.
The Iwagakure Ninja along the way desperately tried to stop him, but the Five-Tails' impact force was too strong. He continuously broke through several defense lines, smashing straight into the small building where Tsunade and her companions were.
This was no time to sit idly by. Tsunade roared, charging out of the building first, and delivered a punch directly at the Five-Tails.
This punch was as fierce as a meteorite colliding with Earth.
A massive shockwave swept in all directions, instantly collapsing the not-so-sturdy small building, and some other buildings along the way also swayed precariously as if caught in a typhoon.
The Five-Tails let out a wail, staggering from the blow, its front limbs weak, almost kneeling.
The Five-Tails kept shaking its head, trying to shake off the dizzy state, while Tsunade was also sent flying backward, caught in mid-air by Shizune.
Ino first created two Shadow Clones to make a giant poison soldier, then activated her Yang Seal, taking out the Chakra she had stored for nearly a month. She used the giant poison soldier's arm to condense a Super Big Ball Rasengan, then, without even looking, raised the Super Big Ball Rasengan and slammed it into the Five-Tails' face.
Strike while the iron is hot!
The Super Big Ball Rasengan, which was not small even in front of the Five-Tails' massive body, directly hit its forehead. The Five-Tails was still dazed from Tsunade's punch and hadn't even realized what was happening when the Super Big Ball Rasengan arrived.
With a crisp "crack," the Five-Tails had five horns on its forehead, three short and two long. At this moment, the horn on the front right, above its brow bone, was broken off by Ino on the spot, spinning away into the distance.
Ino and her Shadow Clones exchanged glances, their minds connected. She used the Shadow Clone Technique again, with some using Water Release, some using Wind Release, and others using Earth Release. A large group of Shadow Clones attacked the Five-Tails, but no one noticed that one of the Shadow Clones quietly used Earth Release, and amidst the chaos, took away the broken horn, which was almost two meters long.
The incident came so suddenly, and the outcome was not entirely satisfactory, but no matter what, the Five-Tails' Chakra was obtained.
The chaos finally subsided. The belated Third Tsuchikage applied the Super Weighted Boulder Jutsu to the Five-Tails, firmly pinning down the giant Tailed Beast. Kitsuchi used the Mountain Earth Jutsu, sandwiching the Five-Tails like a cookie, until the Jinchuriki fainted and returned to human form before releasing the Ninjutsu.
The Five-Tails' rapid dash from north to south through the Village caused countless destruction and over a hundred casualties. The Third Tsuchikage and Kitsuchi had already suppressed the half-Tailed Beast transformed Han, but for some unknown reason, Han suddenly entered his full Tailed Beast form, then charged wildly, not only breaking through the encirclement but also causing immense damage to the Village.
"Konoha Ninja! Tell me, isn't this your doing!?" Seeing his unconscious granddaughter, the Third Tsuchikage was furious.
Akatsuchi, who had woken up earlier, helped explain a few words, but he also hadn't clearly seen who had ambushed him from behind.
Many Iwagakure Ninja looked at Tsunade and her companions with increasing hostility. These Konoha Ninja were rotten to the core! Kurotsuchi, such a good girl, who brought them sake and food, even such a good person fell victim to their poisonous hands. Are they even human?
