Chapter 347! Obito was dumbfounded!
in the audience.
The sudden, bloody tragedy on the screen was so disturbing that even seasoned ninjas, who were used to life and death, felt uneasy after witnessing a living person being bizarrely torn into a pool of blood and flesh.
Even though they knew they couldn't smell the blood through the screen, the images of the twisted and broken corpses still made them feel as if they could smell the strong stench of blood in the air.
Sakura covered her mouth, her face pale, and couldn't help but gag.
As a medical ninja, she had seen the horrific sight of bleeding and severed limbs before, but such a death was far too tragic.
The ninja, who had originally taken on a human form, was instantly twisted into a pile of minced meat, with bone fragments mixed with blood and mud scattered everywhere. The scene was so gruesome that it gave her a stomach spasm, and she almost vomited up her dinner.
"Wow—this is too much—"
Naruto, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, feeling a chill run down his spine. He had never imagined that someone could die in such a horrific way!
"What a terrifying ability—" Jiraiya's pupils constricted, and he murmured involuntarily.
The technique that annihilated a Jonin into dust in a mere instant was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Hmm—" Kakashi responded in a deep voice, which could be considered an agreement.
At that moment, he stared intently at the screen, his expression as solemn as iron.
While others might still be reeling from the shock, Kakashi, as an experienced analytical ninja, had already tried his best to recall and analyze every detail of that moment.
In the scene, the Hidden Mist Ninja Swordsman was clearly grabbed by Obito. Then, the air around him suddenly twisted strangely, and in an instant, he turned into a sticky, disgusting pile of flesh and blood.
That's right, it happened the instant they made contact!
A small section of space seemed to collapse and twist abnormally, crushing the person to pieces.
Thinking of this, Kakashi's breath hitched. He was no stranger to the power that could cause this effect.
This characteristic of spatial distortion is Kamui!
That's right, there's no mistake.
Kakashi quickly came to an unbelievable conclusion.
Although the form of that move was completely different from the Kamui he knew, the unique spatial fluctuations it created in that instant, and the Mangekyou Sharingan pattern that flashed briefly in Obito's right eye, all pointed to the same fact: it was the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Kamui!
But—why?
Kakashi frowned even more. In order to catch up with Obito, he had painstakingly studied Kamui over the years. He wouldn't say he had reached the pinnacle, but he could certainly say he had mastered it.
He knew very well that neither Obito's Kamui nor the Kamui of his other Sharingan could possibly produce the terrifying effect he had just witnessed.
The known abilities of the two Kamui Sharingan are as follows: one is to make oneself intangible and absorb targets at close range, and the other is to tear apart and teleport targets at a long distance. Although they both belong to space-time ninjutsu, they are completely different.
Obito's attack, seemingly unleashing Kamui, resulted in neither absorption nor tearing; instead—it horribly crushed the target into a bloody pulp!
Kakashi vaguely realized that the water in the dream before him was much deeper than he had imagined.
Just as he was lost in thought, in another corner of the audience, someone who had also witnessed the whole thing narrowed his eyes and watched the screen with great interest.
The man crossed his arms and remained silent throughout, but the light of his Rinnegan flickered slightly in his eyes, clearly indicating that he had taken in every detail of what had just happened.
Madara Uchiha immediately recognized that the power displayed on the screen originated from the Mangekyou Sharingan.
His usually calm face now showed a strange expression, a mixture of surprise and mockery.
"Hmph, this fool, his luck remains as good as ever."
Ban snorted coldly, as if talking to himself.
Compared to a genius like Itachi, Obito was always seen as impulsive, emotional, short-sighted, and often incredibly stupid.
Whether as a pawn or an executor, they are far from adequate.
However, it was precisely this foolish guy who awakened an eye technique that was extremely lucky.
Space-time ninjutsu!
Throughout the entire history of the ninja world, this is one of the most top-tier and most difficult abilities to deal with!
He possessed a great treasure, but lacked the temperament and magnanimity to match it—Madara shook his head inwardly, still holding Obito in contempt.
However, even someone as proud and arrogant as Madara Uchiha had to admit the power and trouble inherent in Kamui.
In the scene, on the battlefield, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who were just moments before so arrogant, are now all frozen in place.
The six ninja swordsmen, who were chatting and laughing just a second ago and exuding killing intent, now had their expressions frozen, completely stiffened between shock and disbelief.
"Juzo... he's dead just like that?!"
No one could believe that Juzo Biwa, a strong member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who was not the top-tier but still ranked in the upper-middle tier, the wielder of the Executioner's Blade, with rich combat experience and ruthless methods, would die so inexplicably and tragically in a single encounter!
But the nauseating pool of flesh and blood on the ground, along with the broken fragments of the decapitation sword, served as a stark reminder that this was not an illusion, but a real event that had just occurred.
As their gaze fell upon the blurry mass of flesh, the six Hidden Mist ninjas felt their scalps tingle, their hearts clench, and a chill run down their spines to the top of their heads.
After a brief, suffocating stillness, an unprecedented sense of fear and vigilance swept over everyone's hearts!
Swish!
Almost instinctively, the remaining six people instantly drew their respective ninja swords.
Blades were drawn, their cold light flashing, and killing intent and fear collided in the air. Back to back, they formed a tight defensive formation with no blind spots in the blink of an eye. Each person's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, and their trembling pupils warily scanned their surroundings.
The previously relatively easy encirclement and attack situation has been completely reversed in an instant, and now they seem to be the prey caught in the hunt!
"Who?! Show yourself!!"
The leader, Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, suppressed his wildly beating heart and roared loudly.
His rough voice boomed and echoed through the silent woods, as if trying to force out the terrifying enemy hiding in the shadows.
However, all that answered him was the rustling of the wind through the treetops and the sticky sound of blood and flesh dripping onto the ground.
The six people exchanged glances, each with an extremely solemn expression.
They instinctively refused to believe that such a terrifying act could have been committed by this clumsy little brat.
After all, Obito's previous attacks were weak and ineffective, his physical skills were immature and impulsive, and he was even foolish enough to have his wrist grabbed by Juzo with his bare hands.
Every single one of them was completely different from the image of a powerful person who could perform such bizarre and extraordinary skills in their minds; they were worlds apart!
Therefore, rather than saying that this kid from Konoha suddenly unleashed his power, it would be more reasonable to say that some hidden Konoha master took advantage of Juzo's carelessness to deliver a fatal blow.
As for this brat, he's at best a bait to lure them into underestimating him, or perhaps even cannon fodder to draw their fire.
While the six Mist Ninja were still in shock and uncertainty, Obito, who was at the center of the storm, finally recovered from his initial shock and confusion.
He felt dizzy and swayed, only to find that his legs were weak and his chakra was almost completely drained.
Obito was well aware of the consumption of his Kamui ability. As long as it wasn't in that strange dream, his chakra wasn't pitifully low. Therefore, considering the enormous consumption of maintaining his intangible body to evade attacks, actively activating Kamui to suck the enemy into the Kamui dimension wasn't too strenuous for him.
This is precisely the source of his confidence to challenge the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist alone.
However, that unexpected attack had almost completely drained his chakra, and the degree of consumption was obviously far greater than when he usually absorbed the enemy's chakra!
Obito looked down at his right hand, which was covered in sticky blood, and felt the lingering spatial distortion in the surrounding air. His mind was still filled with disbelief.
That was... Kamui?
Judging from the effect, what he had just activated did seem to be Kamui, but some kind of unknown change occurred during the process. Instead of sucking the enemy into another dimension as expected, it killed the opponent on the spot in a more direct and violent way!
Obito was stunned for a few seconds, but his confusion was quickly replaced by another emotion.
A strange sense of satisfaction and excitement was rapidly surging and rising in his chest.
"This kind of divine power seems... not bad at all?!" Obito's mind raced, and such a thought suddenly popped into his head.
He has always had a simple and direct way of thinking. Although the process and the result were completely unexpected, the effect was undeniably outstanding.
He actually killed one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in an instant!
Moreover, it was done in such a shocking, clean, and efficient way that the opponent was wiped out on the spot.
This is far superior to the silent methods he uses when employing Kamui in reality; the expressiveness is simply off the charts!
Obito couldn't help but smugly glance back at his Konoha comrades behind him.
Lin stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief, her petite body even trembling slightly.
Kakashi also stood frozen in place, completely dumbfounded.
Might Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
Haha, were you shocked?
Don't you also think I'm amazing?!
Obito couldn't help but raise his chin, a smug smile curving his lips, his heart filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and pride.
He was completely absorbed in his impressive and awe-inspiring performance, unable to extricate himself from the moment he had displayed his power.
Lin must have seen it, seen how powerful I am!
At this moment, he is far more powerful than Kakashi!
Obito felt an immense sense of satisfaction, finally able to stand tall and outshine Kakashi in front of Rin!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
On the other side, after a brief standoff, no enemy appeared, and the Mist Ninja finally could no longer hold back.
"You cowardly rat hiding your head and tail, come out and fight if you dare!" Muli Jinpachi angrily brandished his explosive sword and slashed wildly at the surrounding forest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several explosions rang out in succession, and flames and smoke immediately rose up in the forest.
He attempted to force out the unknown, terrifying powerhouse in this way, but to no avail; not a single person appeared.
"This—this method, I've never seen anything like it before!" Kushimaru Kurihara gripped the long sewing needle, his shrill voice trembling slightly with suppressed terror.
He stared intently at the horrific scene on the ground, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed hard.
"Could it be—some kind of secret weapon of Konoha?"
Suigetsu Hozuki's expression shifted between light and dark, his palms sweating profusely. He gritted his teeth, his mind racing as he weighed his options.
Juzo's death was shrouded in mystery; his opponent's methods were bizarre and unpredictable, and this place was far too close to Konoha Village.
Could it be that their infiltration operation has been exposed? Otherwise, how could such a powerful expert be lying in ambush here in advance?
If that's the case, then staying here and dealing with an unknown, terrifying enemy capable of instantly killing one's companions is far too risky.
The mission is important, but if you fail, you can try again. But if you lose your life, you lose everything!
With this in mind, Suigetsu Hobutsu finally made up his mind.
He waved his hand sharply, "The situation has changed, prepare to retreat!"
Upon hearing the order, none of the remaining five Ninja Swordsmen objected; they all tacitly chose to obey.
It is clear that Juzo's tragic death had cast a huge shadow over their hearts.
The enemy they faced was so powerful that it was awe-inspiring, yet its strength was completely unknown, making it even more terrifying than a real bloody battle with swords drawn.
Furthermore, this place is only a stone's throw from Konoha Village, and even a moment's delay could allow more powerful enemies to arrive.
Continuing to argue will only be like throwing an egg against a rock!
"Tsk!" Kusanagi glared fiercely at Obito, then turned to glance at the few Konoha kids behind Obito who were equally dumbfounded, his eyes filled with resentment and venom.
In the end, however, he was just venting his anger and didn't have the courage to go forward and seek death.
"Walk!"
At the command of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon, the six figures immediately fled like startled birds!
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the six figures changed direction at top speed and disappeared one after another into the depths of the dense forest, vanishing without a trace.
They didn't even bother to collect the gruesome, mangled remains of Juzo; all they wanted was to get away from this place of trouble as quickly as possible.
In an instant, the forest clearing, which had been tense and filled with murderous intent, returned to a deathly silence.
All that remained was a scene of devastation, the pungent smell of blood, and six Konoha boys who were still reeling from the upheaval.
The Konoha members, who had been on the verge of death just moments before, stood frozen in place, not moving for a long time.
Apart from their rapid breathing, no one could utter a single word.
Obito stared blankly at the direction in which the Mist Ninja were fleeing in panic.
They just... ran away?
His tense nerves slowly relaxed, and he exhaled a breath of stale air.
Obito knew that with the pitiful amount of chakra he had left, it was impossible for him to unleash Kamui like that again.
It was only by sheer luck that they managed to scare away the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
At this moment, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had survived a disaster.
However, this sense of relief lasted for less than a second before being replaced by an overwhelming feeling of satisfaction and pride.
Yes, I feel satisfied and proud!
As Obito watched helplessly as his formidable enemies slunk away, a surge of pride and arrogance welled up within him.
He killed a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in a single exchange!
"Hmph, you're lucky you ran fast!"
He snapped out of his daze, smugly wiped his nose, and secretly glanced at his Konoha comrades behind him.
Not far behind them, Rin, Kakashi, and the others remained in their previous poses, standing there like wooden or clay sculptures, their faces still unconscious.
Seeing them like this, Obito felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment!
Are you impressed by my power?
Hahaha—his lips almost stretched to his ears, and he barely managed to suppress his laughter.
Obito felt his blood boiling, every bone in his body seemed to lighten, and he felt lightheaded.
Cool!
This is so awesome!
"I told you, it would be resolved quickly!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
"I'm saved!" Ebisu collapsed to the ground, his small round glasses perched crooked to one side, clearly not yet fully recovered from the extreme fear he had just experienced.
At this moment, the immense relief of escaping death temporarily outweighed the nausea at the pool of blood and gore in front of him.
Might Guy and Genma Shiranui both breathed a sigh of relief, their tense bodies slowly relaxing.
Kai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his thick eyebrows and big eyes still showing signs of shock.
Genma silently took out a new senbon from his ninja tool bag and put it in his mouth. The practiced action seemed to calm his tense nerves a little.
However, Rin's reaction was completely different from what Obito had expected.
She strode up to Obito, her pretty face no longer showing the fear she had shown before, but instead a serious expression that was a mixture of lingering fear and anger.
Her eyebrows furrowed as she glared at Obito, exclaiming excitedly, "Obito! How could you be so impulsive? You charged in all by yourself! Do you know how worried we were about you?!"
Rin unleashed a torrent of scolding, instantly freezing the slight smugness on Obito's face.
He opened his mouth, then stammered, his neck involuntarily shrinking back. He awkwardly managed to squeeze out, "I—Isn't it resolved? It's resolved, that's good—"
The voice was so weak it was almost inaudible.
After being scolded by Rin with a mixture of concern and anger, Obito felt a mix of emotions.
On one hand, he felt a warm feeling welling up inside him; Lin was worried about him. But even stronger was a deep sense of frustration. He had risked his life to save everyone, but instead of the admiration and surprise he had imagined, Lin had given him a harsh scolding.
Obito wanted to argue a few more times, but before he could finish speaking, Rin quickly took out a clean handkerchief from her ninja tool pouch and tiptoed to gently wipe the blood off his face.
"Thank goodness—thank goodness some senior secretly intervened and saved us." Lin said softly, both frightened and relieved, as she carefully wiped his blood-stained face. "Otherwise—we might have—"
She didn't finish her sentence, but the unthinkable implications of her words were self-evident.
In Lin's mind, the terrifying and illogical killing method she had just witnessed was something that Obito, who usually caused trouble even during B-rank missions, could never have done.
"Huh?" Obito was completely stunned, wondering if he had misheard, his mind going blank.
A covert operation?
senior?
Obito panicked, waving his arms excitedly, and opened his mouth to shout an explanation: "Wait, wait! Rin, what are you saying? That was clearly..."
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
"Don't move!" Lin's eyebrows shot up, and she slapped away Obito's flailing right hand, her voice still filled with anger. "You still have blood on your face, let me wipe it clean for you!"
Completely absorbed in her own logic, she glared at him fiercely as she wiped herself, and continued sternly, "You absolutely mustn't do that again next time, do you hear me? It's too dangerous!"
Obito: ? ? ?
Looking at the deep worry on Lin's face, and feeling the gentle touch of her handkerchief wiping his cheek, Shi Jian couldn't decide whether he should enjoy this rare tenderness and care, or jump up and loudly declare that he was the one who had done everything.
At this moment, Genma Shiranui also slowly walked over.
He still had a thin senbon stick dangling from his mouth. His gaze swept over the horrific mass of flesh on the ground, his face filled with lingering fear. He muttered under his breath, "What a terrifying ability—it killed a person in an instant—"
He paused, seemingly unable to find the right words to describe the horrific scene, before shaking his head with a wry smile and saying, "It must have been some elite Jonin senior who secretly intervened. Sigh, looks like we're lucky to have escaped with our lives."
"So that's how it is?" Might Guy scratched his head and nodded with a look of sudden realization.
His eyes widened suddenly, and he blurted out, "Wasn't it made by Obito?!"
In Kaina's simple and straightforward mind, what had just happened should naturally be attributed to Obito, who was standing to the side at the moment.
It must be said that his unintentional remark happened to hit the nail on the head—but unfortunately, no one took this truth seriously.
"? No, it's me—" Obito became even more anxious upon seeing this and opened his mouth to try to clarify loudly.
"How could it be Obito?" A dismissive voice interrupted him.
Ebisu had stood up at some point. He adjusted his crooked round-framed sunglasses and resumed his usual serious analytical tone.
He glanced at Might Guy and said decisively, "Obito couldn't even beat you during the Chunin Exams. The level of secret techniques you just used requires an enormous amount of chakra and knowledge, far beyond what Obito's current level can handle."
As Ebisu spoke, he kept nodding, clearly very satisfied with his analysis.
After all, they not only graduated from the Ninja Academy at the same time, but also passed the Chunin Exams in the same year, so they knew Obito's strength very well.
"Ah, right!" Kai exclaimed, as if waking from a dream, clapping his hands and scratching his head with a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile. "Ebisu is absolutely right!"
He walked up to Obito, gave him a thumbs-up, and said, "Obito, while your courage just now was certainly youthful and energetic, well—that kind of thing is definitely not something you could do!"
Obito:
He was completely speechless, his mouth agape but unable to utter a sound for a long time.
Obito stared dumbfounded at the group of guys in front of him, each talking back and forth, thinking they had analyzed the truth perfectly. He felt a huge lump of anger stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down, almost causing him internal injury.
If he could, he really wanted to perform his "divine power" again on the spot, even if it was just to break a stone!
However, his nearly depleted chakra clearly told him that this was obviously impossible.
"I, you, him, just now—I—!" Obito's face turned bright red. He pointed at the people in front of him, eager to say something, but he was so angry that his tongue got tied, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Only one person remained silent, simply squinting his eyes.
He carefully observed Obito Uchiha's expression, which shifted from smugness to astonishment and then to frustration.
