Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Obito Realizes the Joke’s on Him?
Boom!
In the state of opening the seventh gate, a casual strike from Uchiha Akira carried the power of an A-rank ninjutsu. Now, with the eighth gate opened, every move he made possessed power equivalent to S-rank ninjutsu!
With one strike, the ground within a radius of tens of meters was completely obliterated.
A simple attack, but it was as if a single-target attack had been transformed into a wide-area one!
However, Uchiha Obito's figure remained standing, unmoved. Uchiha Akira's attack passed right through him as if he wasn't even there.
Upon seeing Akira's sudden appearance, merely announcing the deaths of the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo before attacking a mysterious figure, the people in the Uchiha district exchanged confused glances, their faces showing expressions of bewilderment.
"Who is that? How did he just evade Akira's attack?" an elder asked, his eyes fixed on Obito. Indeed, Uchiha Akira, having opened the eighth gate, displayed terrifying power-enough to shock anyone. Yet, this mysterious man in the spiral-patterned wooden mask seemed completely unfazed by such an attack, leaving the elder perplexed.
"Who is this person?"
It wasn't just the elder who was puzzled. Uchiha Fugaku, the ANBU, and the Root ninja all noticed Obito's presence as well.
When Uchiha Akira arrived, having opened the eighth gate, he immediately became the center of attention. Naturally, when Akira chose to target Obito first but gained no advantage, everyone realized just how formidable this mysterious figure was.
A terrifying figure had been hiding nearby all along while they were battling?
In many cases, when someone powerful easily defeats an opponent, it's an opportunity to showcase their strength and draw everyone's attention.
This is often how a strong antagonist highlights the protagonist's power.
But now, Akira was doing the opposite!
Despite opening the eighth gate and becoming absurdly strong, he could do nothing against Obito, which instead highlighted Obito's strength, turning Akira into a supporting character. Speaking of Obito, hasn't he always preferred to remain in the shadows?
Even within the Akatsuki, few knew of his true identity.
But now, Akira's actions had directly exposed him!
"It's him!"
While others were unsure of Obito's strength, Uchiha Itachi certainly knew. He had even interacted with Obito, aware that this mysterious man had played a role in the Uchiha clan's
massacre.
But to think Akira could sense him so keenly?
The moment Akira arrived on the battlefield, he targeted this mysterious man?
However, Akira also mentioned that the Third Hokage was dead?
Upon reflection, with Danzo dead and the Third Hokage also gone...
It seemed that the conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha's leadership had been resolved, in a way?
After all, while exterminating the Uchiha was one way to solve the conflict, eliminating Konoha's leadership was another?
It was just that Itachi had chosen to strike against the Uchiha, while Akira chose to target Konoha's leadership.
And yet, Akira had succeeded first?
Thinking about it, Itachi couldn't help but admire Shisui's foresight-hedging his bets.
With Akira's success, although Itachi felt sorry for the Third Hokage, sacrificing one person to save the entire Uchiha clan and maintain the village's peace seemed to achieve the goal from a different perspective.
"Who is this person? I think I've seen him in the Akatsuki before, just a substitute member..." Orochimaru, lurking in the shadows, had initially focused all his attention on Uchiha Itachi. However, when Akira appeared with the eighth gate open and attacked Obito, who remained unscathed, Orochimaru's attention shifted to Obito.
As a member of the Akatsuki, Orochimaru prided himself on his memory, recalling that he had seen this person before.
future.
So at this moment, Obito was starting to feel desperate!
But what could he do?
With the eighth gate open, Akira relentlessly attacked, giving Obito no opportunity to
deactivate Kamui, not even for a second!
Gasp, gasp, gasp...
Uchiha Akira's attacks were fast and powerful.
But unfortunately, Obito's Kamui had a five-minute duration.
For Akira, five minutes was too long. His body was now truly at its limit; he was coughing
intermittently, with blood trickling from his mouth.
But before the blood could even hit the ground, it vaporized into a reddish steam!
Akira's state in the eighth gate was indeed terrifyingly powerful.
However, facing Obito in his intangible state, all his attacks were futile, making it seem as if
Akira were fighting against thin air.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Figures started arriving at the Uchiha district.
By now, the fighting within the Uchiha clan had ceased, and all eyes were on the battle
between Akira and Obito.
Kakashi, Might Guy, and the other ninjas followed behind Akira, arriving one after another.
Seeing that Akira's attacks had no effect on Obito, Kakashi and the others were left even more
shocked.
After all, this was the same Akira who had almost single-handedly killed the Third Hokage in
one strike!
But who was this person in the spiral-patterned wooden mask, who could render Akira's
attacks useless?
"Akira, he's reached his limit!"
Might Guy had already deactivated the seventh gate, and though his body was sore and
aching, it hadn't suffered any permanent damage, given the brief duration of the battle. But seeing Akira's body now charred and severely damaged, he spoke with a heavy tone. Indeed, Akira himself felt it-his body was utterly exhausted, on the verge of collapsing. Finally, as his body reached its limit, his movements faltered, and he stumbled to the ground! Seeing this, Obito quickly withdrew, silently deactivating his Kamui ability and resetting the five-minute limit.
Akira's consciousness began to blur, his body resembling a charred corpse.
He knew he couldn't delay any longer. With his chakra reward already waiting, he made his
choice.
