Neji looked up and saw the burly man floating in the air above. Thick, blood-red energy waves churned between his hands, gradually transforming into two incredibly sinister, scarlet phantoms.
"This power, could it be…" Neji's eye twitched, and his hands involuntarily clenched.
"Corpse Bone Pulse: Early Sprout Dance!"
The man in red saw his chance. After a series of intricate hand signs, sharp bones began to sprout from the ground one after another.
The vibration from the ground brought Neji back to his senses. He immediately got up to leave, but by then, the burly man was already charging towards Neji, enveloped in surging blood-red energy, wielding the phantom images in his hands.
"Damn it!" Neji frowned. With them attacking him from above and below, he couldn't dodge. Without further thought, his Chakra exploded instantly to its limit. Holding two deep purple lion heads, he charged towards the burly man.
Gentle Step Twin Lion Fist!
Boom!
Terrifying pressure compressed and collapsed endlessly in their palms. Once it reached its peak, it exploded instantly. The incredibly strong recoil sent them both tumbling through the air, retreating to their sides.
Bang! Bang!
They landed on the ground, bounced once or twice, then slid backward with one hand on the ground, facing each other from a distance.
The burly man glanced briefly at the distance they had retreated, a smile curling on his lips. He coldly sneered, "It seems your strength is already depleted. There's no way you can win this fight."
Neji looked at how much further he had slid than his opponent, his expression extremely tense.
He was right. He had indeed used too much strength. If this continued, he would be the one at a disadvantage.
However, there were a few things Neji had to clarify.
"How did you get to the ninja world, Evil God?" Neji asked coldly.
"You're only discovering this now? I'm very disappointed in you." The burly man said, flexing his finger bones.
"Answer my question!!"
"Heh heh." The burly man laughed. "There's nothing to hide, really. This guy is just a vessel carrying me. I should thank you for disrupting the sacrifice ritual three years ago."
Blood began to seep from the burly man's rough face, and his continuously bubbling face revealed blood-filled teeth. He spoke with a wickedly perverse smile, "If it weren't for you, it would have been difficult for me to split off a part of myself through the spatial rift."
"What?! It was my fault…"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as Neji's face turned increasingly grim, the Blue White man jumped out of the large crater, carrying an unconscious Black Zetsu.
"Yo, still alive?" The Evil God quipped.
"Hmph!" The Blue White man spat out the blood dripping from his mouth and turned his head away, refusing to speak. He had only appeared for a few minutes, and before he could even use a single move, he had been hit with a major attack. How could he be in a good mood?
"Here!" The Blue White man threw Black Zetsu onto the ground and said to Obito, "Take him away, he's an eyesore."
A piece of trash who couldn't even withstand a single move from Neji.
Obito picked up the swollen Black Zetsu from the ground and silently absorbed him with Kamui.
How to put it?
He really was quite an eyesore.
"Also, I'm leaving this fight to you guys." The Blue White man glared fiercely at Neji, then turned and retreated, saying, "What, you're not planning to fight?" The man in red chuckled.
"Hmph!" The Blue White man ignored everyone else and sat down on the ground to tend to his injuries.
"It seems his injuries are worse than I imagined. But looking at Neji, he can only manage two more hits like that at most. Just be careful." The Blue White man's actions caused the Evil God to be slightly startled. When he looked at Neji again, he showed a deep sense of apprehension.
Similarly, Neji breathed a sigh of relief at this sight. The Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack he had just used had taken everything he had. If the opponent had been completely unharmed, then there would be no point in fighting the Fourth Great Ninja War.
The Evil God gestured lightly, and numerous earth and stone dragons erupted from the ground, surrounding Neji: "Alright, Neji, do you have any more questions? This is your last chance to ask."
Neji looked at the several massive earth dragons surrounding him, then turned to the man in red: "I want to know, how was Kabuto resurrected?"
After a brief silence, a grin spread across the man in red's lips. He slowly removed the red hat covering his head, revealing his true face: "I thought you would never use the Byakugan's clairvoyance to see my face."
Neji glanced at him dismissively, "You think too much. I don't have a fetish for using clairvoyance on men."
"Oh?" Kabuto became interested and asked, "Then how did you figure me out?"
"Kimimaro, Suigetsu. They were both Orochimaru's subordinates. Besides Orochimaru, you were the most likely to have their cells. And besides you, who else would do such a perverted thing now?"
"Although I'm sure I killed you, when even the Evil God wandering in another space and the Grim Reaper, who only appeared as a spectral image, have appeared before me, then I can accept your resurrection."
"But I'm curious, how did you get resurrected?" Neji looked at him, confused.
The Blue White man chuckled at this. "Neji, you're truly smart. You guessed everyone's identities in our first encounter. That's right, I am the Grim Reaper."
Neji remained silent, listening to him continue.
The Grim Reaper didn't seem to mind and slowly said, "The Evil God and I are both gods who have existed since ancient times. He is responsible for slaughter, and I am responsible for life and death. Although your Dustless Graveyard is very powerful, no ability is absolutely insurmountable. The two of us working together were fully capable of resurrecting him."
"You don't understand this now, it can only be said that your perspective is still too narrow."
"That's it?" Neji was slightly taken aback. It was as if he hadn't said anything at all.
"Heh heh. Alright, all the questions have been asked, and all the answers have been given. Then, next is your death day." The Evil God waved his hand, and several earth and stone dragons charged at Neji together.
But one by one, they passed through Neji without resistance.
Neji leaped onto an earth dragon and, as he ran, formed hand seals. "Crystal Style: Dragon Luster Blow!"
Crystal dragons immediately clashed with the earth dragons, while Neji seized the opportunity to flip into the forest.
"Trying to run? No way!" The Evil God's arms immediately spread out, and whip-like flames swept through the dense forest, lashing the ground.
"You're blocked! Follow me!" The Evil God said calmly, and with one step, he was already several meters away.
"Is this the power of their 'gods'? It's as if all Chakra attributes are revolving around them." Obito and Kabuto looked deeply at the Evil God and immediately followed him.
"Wood Release: Wood Golem Jutsu!"
Suddenly, a shout rang out from the forest, and a giant wooden figure slowly emerged, standing tall.
"Next, is the real fight."
