Chapter 65: Curse Your Fate for Not Having the Byakugan
"Damn it, what on earth is that guy going crazy for?"
On the road leading to the Konoha Cemetery, Hiruzen Sarutobi, already changed into his combat gear, was rushing forward with several Anbu.
He had heard this afternoon that Jiraiya and Naruto had run into each other unexpectedly because of Hyuga Makoto.
Although he was quite annoyed that Jiraiya and the others went to the hot springs during working hours, this news put him in a good mood.
After all, Naruto was Minato's child; no matter what, Jiraiya ought to see him.
However, this meeting actually led to trouble...
"Hiruzen, has that guy appeared?"
Just as he was lost in thought, Danzo's voice suddenly came from the side.
Danzo was also rushing forward with several Root Ninjas, and his expression was extremely grim.
"He actually dares to come to Konoha?!"
More than just daring to come, he's been here all along...
Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself, but he still nodded solemnly.
"Yes, and Naruto is over there as well."
"What exactly are you doing? How could something like this happen?"
Danzo's face darkened even further upon hearing this. He still hadn't forgotten being ambushed, nor could he forget Uchiha Shisui's eye.
And now that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was involved, the combination of old and new grudges made his expression twist!
"Those damn Uchiha, are they finally making their move?"
"He isn't one of Konoha's Uchiha..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a headache coming on. If he hadn't wanted to avoid alerting Uchiha Itachi, he wouldn't have even called Danzo.
But despite the headache, since he was already here, what else could he do?
Besides, he couldn't keep this hidden from Danzo forever!
"Jiraiya is also over there. We just need to move faster."
"Hmph, you will pay the price for your weakness sooner or later!"
Danzo didn't bother saying more; he just wanted to catch that guy quickly.
Their speed was very fast. Even though Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi were both men in their sixties or seventies, they still moved as if they were flying.
As they drew closer, the shockwaves of battle became increasingly obvious, making them anxious.
However, when they actually reached the entrance of the cemetery, they were all stunned!
Before their eyes was an object wrapped in vines that looked like a sphere.
This thing immediately made them realize something.
"Wood Release?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was exceptionally ugly. Yamato was right behind him, and he hadn't expected anyone else to know Wood Release.
Danzo's face turned pale, his gaze flickered, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch!
"That bastard cut off my arm... so it really was for this..."
Ever since he took that hit last time, he had guessed this might be the result!
Even though he had tried to find ways to destroy these things, he wasn't sure of the outcome, which was why he wanted to find Orochimaru.
But now, his greatest fear had come true...
"This damn bastard is really going to be the death of me!"
Danzo struggled to maintain a calm exterior while screaming hysterically inside.
But just as his heart was in total turmoil, he suddenly noticed the sphere formed by Wood Release began to writhe irregularly.
A powerful Chakra was brewing inside, causing them to look at each other in shock.
"This is..."
Before they could think further, cracks suddenly appeared on the Wood Release sphere in the next instant.
The cracks spread rapidly, and then an even stronger Chakra erupted from within!
BOOM—
An ear-splitting roar suddenly echoed through the Konoha Cemetery as countless fragments and a massive shockwave swept in all directions.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, and the others were forced to retreat repeatedly by the force of the blast!
In the midst of the dust and smoke, a figure was sent flying out in a pathetic state.
His body rolled continuously on the ground, but strangely, not a single Memorial Stone was smashed by him.
After rolling for who knows how many turns, he finally stabilized himself and stood up unsteadily.
He looked extremely wretched, his clothes already in tatters.
A piece of the mask on his face had shattered, exposing a crimson Sharingan that was slowly spinning.
His entire right arm was missing, seemingly severed by some raw force!
"It's him..."
Seeing this figure, Danzo's eyes instantly turned red.
Even though the guy had been beaten into this pathetic state, Danzo recognized him at a glance!
Moreover, seeing this miserable condition—especially that severed arm—Danzo felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart!
Back then, he had been beaten into a similar state...
The man stared fixedly ahead, his crimson Sharingan seemingly witnessing something unbelievable.
"How is this possible..."
He murmured in a daze. He had clearly trapped the person, and he had clearly used Kamui.
So why did that guy seem completely unaffected? Why was he able to counter with such a massive blow?
"Everyone, move! Kill him!"
Before he could figure it out, Danzo had already let out an impatient roar.
He didn't care to ask who this guy was; he could investigate the identity of a corpse. Right now, he just wanted to silence him!
He was truly afraid the guy would talk too much. After all, he was certain that the Wood Release on this guy's body most likely came from him...
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Under his command, all the Root Ninjas attacked instantly.
In an instant, various Ninjutsu accompanied by a hail of Kunai and Senbon flew toward Obito!
Hiruzen Sarutobi, however, did not move, because he knew some intelligence.
BOOM—
The ear-splitting roar sounded again, and the area where Obito stood was engulfed in raging flames.
But he stood calmly in the fire as if nothing had happened, his eyes fixed on the front!
"This..."
Danzo's eyes widened. He had never expected such a scene.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the other hand, nodded secretly. This was exactly as the intelligence described!
However, he was also somewhat puzzled. What had this guy encountered to look so miserable?
As the dust and smoke gradually cleared, Hyuga Makoto's figure slowly emerged.
Hyuga Makoto's clothes were also in tatters now, but he didn't look the least bit pathetic.
Looking at Obito's staring gaze, he gave a light chuckle.
"Don't look at me like that. Didn't I say I wouldn't run?"
After all, he was someone who understood the properties of space; after all, he was an Otsutsuki!
Obito trying to use Kamui to absorb him was simply being foolish.
Not only did he achieve nothing, but he also received a 'big gift' in return!
In fact, his clothes being torn like this wasn't even caused by Obito, but by himself...
With such a small space exploding suddenly, it was hard for even him to dodge completely.
However, his recovery speed was beyond imagination. Even if he had shaken himself up, he was healed in the blink of an eye!
"And as I said, before these eyes, you have no secrets."
Seeing Obito's silence, Hyuga Makoto continued to speak faintly.
At this moment, Kakashi, Jiraiya, and the group of Anbu also quickly dispersed, faintly surrounding Obito!
A great battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, and Hyuga Makoto's voice finally fell.
"Although your Space Ninjutsu is impressive, it is meaningless in my eyes. If you must hate..."
"Hate your fate for not having the Byakugan!"
