— Kamui Shuriken: Shadow Clone!
One Kamui Shuriken split into dozens, becoming a chaotic black curtain that savagely painted the sky!
"!!" With life hanging by a thread, Sasuke's only option was to go up, and go far!
BOOM…!
White cursed wings tore through the sound barrier. Sasuke transformed into a white eagle, shooting toward the heavens!
No matter how fierce or swift the Kamui Shuriken were, if they couldn't catch up, they were useless!
From two hundred meters high, Sasuke glanced back at the frozen curtain of blades below.
"It seems one hundred fifty meters… that's the Kamui Shuriken's maximum attack range!"
Obito stared coldly at the sky. "Those are wings Orochimaru gave you. I'll tear them off right now!!!"
FWOOSH!
From behind the curtain, a single Kamui Shuriken erupted into a Kamui vortex. Using it as a foothold, Obito ascended to rule the skies…
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH…! The stalled Kamui Shuriken resumed their assault!
With no choice, Sasuke shot toward even greater heights at full speed!
Obito repeated the trick, constantly extending the range of his Kamui Shuriken.
They chased and pursued, neither giving an inch. Unnoticed, the island they fought over shrank to a mere speck in the background.
The vast cloud layer was close enough to touch.
"Any higher and the air gets too thin. Even my fight with Naruto back then stopped below this altitude."
Time to end this.
ROAR!
The crow-tengu Susanoo erupted and stood defiant against the sky!
Sasuke focused his right eye. Hands formed a seal. He exhaled a sphere of black flames. The Susanoo infused it with powerful Wind Release. The sphere of black fire rapidly expanded downward!
— Blaze Release: Inflamed Realm!
FWOOSH! Obito arrived again via a Kamui Shuriken. Only three of the shadow clones remained now.
He narrowed his eyes at the expanding wall of flame pressing toward the shuriken's range limit, instantly grasping Sasuke's intent.
"Trying to block my line of sight with those black flames? To keep me from aiming accurately?"
Obito's right eye was shut. What his left eye saw was shrouded in a white haze… Overusing his dōjutsu had pushed that eye to the brink of blindness!
"Sasuke's backed into a corner. Right now, whoever flinches first loses!!"
SWISH SWISH SWISH!
Three Kamui Shuriken pierced into the heart of the flaming realm. Obito triggered them immediately.
FWOOSH! FWOOSH! FWOOSH!
Three massive Kamui vortices created a linked field of spatial distortion… ripping the fiery realm into thirds. As the black flames surged violently inward, Sasuke's form, hiding behind them, was laid completely bare!!!
Obito phased out of his own Susanoo. Using it as a springboard, he launched himself upward!
KABOOM…!!
The Susanoo completed its final duty and crumbled apart!!
Blood vessels ruptured in Obito's left eye. He strained, squeezing one last moment of clarity from the blurred vision… Locking onto Sasuke's head.
— Kamui!
ZZZT!
Blood streamed from Sasuke's left eye. He focused on the air one meter in front of him.
— Amaterasu!
FWOOSH…!
Black flames ignited directly before him… forcing the focal point of Obito's left-eye Kamui to shift forward!
FWOOSH…!!
The erupting Kamui vortex sucked in the black fire…!!!
Here, kilometers above the earth, the battle reached its life-or-death climax. Neither would yield.
Obito desperately pushed his left eye's power, trying to absorb the flames in front of Sasuke and take the boy's head.
Sasuke covered his left eye loosely. Between his fingers, the six-pointed star pupil trembled like an earthquake. A continuous stream of blood. Black flames burst forth again and again before him, clashing against the Kamui.
Obito had gone mad. "Let's settle this right here! Which is the ultimate physical attack—Amaterasu or Kamui?!?!?!"
FWWWOOOSH!!!
The vortex intensified abruptly, devouring the black flames with renewed fury!
The flames couldn't keep up with the absorption. An opening appeared. Obito strained to adjust his focal point, trying to leap past the gap in the flames and lock onto Sasuke's flickering form…
ZZZZZT…!
Then… Sasuke released the Yin Seal on his forehead. The seal's patterns flowed around his left eye.
ROAR…!!
The dwindling black fire… erupted with uncontrollable, explosive force!!!
"Damn you! Why won't you just die like you're supposed to…?!"
Enraged, Obito crushed the last dregs of his ocular power, trying to force out a stronger Kamui…!!
But… a scalpel-sharp pain shot through his left eye. His optic nerve felt ready to snap!
"GAAAAAH…!!"
Obito clutched his left eye. Dark, almost black blood seeped steadily between his fingers…
When that eye opened again, his visibility was less than a meter.
It meant… the Kamui of that left eye was effectively useless!!
FWOOSH…!
Gravity took hold. Obito began to fall.
RUMBLE RUMBLE…!
Above Sasuke, the sky darkened. Clouds churned.
During their clash, the Amaterasu had directly burned the cloud layer. It created an unprecedented mass of cumulonimbus clouds… generating a natural thunderstorm of a scale far beyond anything before!
BOOM…! BOOM…!
The world-obliterating natural lightning took the form of a 'Kirin'. Its size… was even more colossal than a Perfect Susanoo.
Obito stared at the sky with his right eye, not a trace of fear on his face. "Heh. Your specialty—artificial lightning. Called 'Lightning Release: Kirin,' right? Pity. Even if that Kirin were ten times bigger, you couldn't scratch me. Uchiha Sasuke, with the jutsu you possess… you have no way to break my right eye's ability."
Sasuke looked down from on high, utterly calm. "Is that so? The same jutsu… its strength depends entirely on the user. We saw ample proof of that with you and Kakashi…"
Obito's eyes narrowed slightly.
Sasuke raised two fingers in a seal. "Your left eye's ability seems spent. But the phasing… that still works. So, this next move is tailor-made for you…"
The Kirin above… sprouted countless sharp spikes all over its body!!
"!!" Obito's face twisted in horror. His right eye swirled immediately, preparing to slip into the Kamui dimension.
ZIP ZIP ZIP…!
A thousand Chidori Senbon poured down like a torrential rain… Obito instantly canceled the dimensional shift, entering his intangible phase.
"To execute such precise shape transformation with a natural thunderstorm of this scale… Uchiha Sasuke, just how monstrous has his control become?!"
Sasuke's gaze was dark. Obito. In the Fourth Great Ninja War of the past life, you used the Ten-Tails to perform 'Wood Release: Cutting Sprig Technique.' You nearly wiped out the Allied Shinobi Forces. You killed Neji. Today… I'll use this Kirin to perform 'Chidori Senbon'… and shatter that prideful intangibility of yours.
— Takemikazuchi Art: Cloud-Slicer Barrage!
FZZZT FZZZT FZZZT FZZZT…!
For a moment… millions of lightning needles filled the sky.
— "This 'Cloud-Slicer' will release Chidori Senbon at 70,000 per second. Non-stop. For ten full minutes. More than enough. Your life… is now on a countdown."
ZZZT…!
A dark, crimson glow erupted from Obito's nearly-blind left eye!!
— Izanagi!
