The rumbling sounds of explosions echoed continuously across the desert near the experimental base. Intense gales and terrifying shockwaves kicked up a massive sandstorm, causing Vegapunk, who was using a projection device to watch the battle outside, some distress.
"I should adjust the anti-interference capabilities of the external observation device. I can't see anything like this."
After a period of combat, the Kamui Dimension was almost completely destroyed by the battle between Hancock and Uchiha Obito. Just now, after both sides jumped out of the Kamui Dimension, they appeared on the peripheral desert wasteland and continued their fight.
Although he couldn't see the battle outside, Vegapunk wasn't worried about Hancock at all. After obtaining a portion of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Chakra, Hancock essentially occupied an extremely high status within the chakra system. Even if she didn't use Chakra to fight, she possessed absolute suppression over most ordinary Ninja.
Specifically, most Ninjutsu had almost no lethality against Hancock; she was completely immune to Genjutsu below the Rinnegan level, and offensive Ninjutsu without space-time or Senjutsu characteristics were basically ineffective. Her own attacks possessed a weakness-breaking trait against defenses formed by Ninjutsu... This was the crushing power of Kekkei Mōra-level Chakra over ordinary Chakra, and it was also why ordinary Ninja were utterly helpless when facing the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
After all, when your attacks not only fail to break through the opponent's defense but instead heal them, no matter how large the gap in combat awareness between the two sides, there's no chance of winning.
In short, Ninja who purely followed the chakra system were almost completely countered by the higher-ranking Ōtsutsuki Clan, not to mention that Hancock's combat awareness was far superior to that of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Even if the Ōtsutsuki Kaguya from the final battle were brought here, Vegapunk would still bet on Hancock winning, let alone a mere Uchiha Obito. If Hancock hadn't intended to warm up and instead relied solely on Haki and physical combat, Obito would have been killed in a single strike long ago.
Amidst the storm, Hancock threw another punch, directly snapping a leg of the massive Armored Wooden Giant. This time, Uchiha Obito, whose Chakra was nearly exhausted, was finally unable to control the Wooden Giant's regeneration, and the entire construct collapsed to one side.
"Is that all?" Hancock's voice drifted over, tinged with boredom, followed by another punch that shattered the Wooden Giant's other leg. "You can't even manage to make this concubine warm up!"
"Damn it... what kind of monster are you..."
Faint traces of blood flowed from Uchiha Obito's eyes, and his entire Mangekyo was covered in bloodshot veins that looked like cracks, giving off an almost dried-up feeling.
In fact, it was almost exactly that. Constantly using the Kamui Mangekyo had long since drained Uchiha Obito's ocular power. If not for the pure Yin Release and Yang Release Chakra provided by Black Zetsu and Tobi, his method of using the Mangekyo would have blinded ten pairs of eyes by now.
But even so, Obito's Kamui Mangekyo was, after all, only based on a regular Mangekyo and hadn't reached the level of the Eternal Eyes. The massive wear and tear from constant recovery and usage had left this eye nearly completely ruined.
As Hancock bit by bit dismantled the massive Wooden Giant and the Susanoo armor, a helpless Obito finally fell from the giant construct and collapsed onto the ground.
By now, the mask on Obito's face had long since shattered into pieces, revealing his original countenance. His half-face, which wasn't handsome to begin with, now looked both ugly and pathetic after being shaved into a balding patch.
"Ahhh, I failed..." Uchiha Obito muttered to himself, lying on the desert like a deflated balloon. "How ridiculous... To think that the ambitious Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan would end with such a clownish exit."
"But this isn't bad either... at least I can go to the Pure Land and see Rin..."
"What are you babbling about?" Hancock said impatiently. She casually grabbed the two struggling Black and White Zetsu and threw them into the Amenominaka Space. Then, with a flick of her finger, an Air Bullet knocked Uchiha Obito unconscious... When Hancock returned, she casually sliced open space, and the three trophies—Uchiha Obito, Black Zetsu, and Tobi—appeared before Vegapunk.
"Are these guys useful to you? I felt the abilities of these three were quite interesting."
"They are indeed interesting," Vegapunk said with a smile. In reality, whether it was the Kamui eye or Black and White Zetsu, Vegapunk had already obtained them from another world, so they held little research value. However, since Hancock had kindly brought back some trophies, he naturally wouldn't say anything to the contrary.
When Uchiha Obito regained consciousness, he found that his eyes, which had been nearly shrouded in darkness, had regained their sight. However, he didn't feel any joy, not just because his limbs were completely bound and his internal Chakra was sealed.
He also felt that there was no ocular power within that eye of his; it was just a normal eye, not even a Sharingan, let alone a Mangekyo.
No matter how withered and shriveled his Kamui Sharingan had become, to the point where it couldn't even function normally, it still possessed the foundation of a Mangekyo level. As long as there was enough pure and powerful Yin Release and Yang Release Chakra to slowly replenish and nourish it, it could still recover its original power.
But having it replaced with a normal eye meant it was truly just an eye.
However, Uchiha Obito gave a self-deprecating smile. It was already good enough to keep his small life; why was he thinking so much?
"You're awake, Uchiha Obito!"
Just then, Uchiha Obito heard a clear voice, and then a young man with golden hair, as handsome as a prince from a fairy tale, walked out.
"You are... Vegapunk?" Uchiha Obito was stunned for a moment and asked. He did know some information about Vegapunk; many people claimed his appearance was so handsome it rivaled the gods, though obviously, Uchiha Obito wouldn't have cared about such things at the time.
But he had at least kept an impression in his mind. Therefore, seeing such a handsome young man and thinking about his purpose this time, it was quite normal to guess Vegapunk's identity.
"Correct, it is indeed me." Vegapunk nodded, reached out to press a button on the laboratory bed, and released the restraints on Obito's body. "If you're interested, shall we talk?"
When the restraints were released, Obito moved his limbs slightly, his face showing a look of surprise. The White Zetsu that had occupied nearly half of his body had vanished without a trace, and he had now returned to the appearance of a normal person.
