Chapter 288: Thousand Eyes
"Oh~ pretty capable."
Gojo Satoru's voice was still frivolous, but he had become serious.
This guy, who was absorbed into the body by that host with a lot of effort, was indeed not ordinary. He actually used a few moves that Gojo Satoru didn't consider brilliant to defeat this enemy, who seemed to have gained extra enhancements compared to when he fought him.
This kind of combat intelligence made Gojo Satoru think highly of him.
Uchiha Madara looked at Uchiha Obito falling like a piece of charcoal, his expression growing colder. Defeating Obito so easily made Obito's evaluation of him even more humiliating.
Madara's voice changed from high-pitched to deep.
"Obito, my evaluation of you hasn't changed at all. You are a ninja without talent."
"Even if you obtain powerful abilities, you are still so... weak."
Uchiha Madara stepped over Obito's corpse, his gaze scanning around. He was looking for that hidden Six Paths Level powerhouse. He really wanted to know what the so-called [Sage of Six Paths] had over him and Hashirama.
And what mysteries lay in that power called Six Paths Level.
Ever since his soul was contained in that pure white consciousness space, he knew that his plan had probably failed completely. Uchiha Obito and Nagato not only didn't revive him with [Rinne Tensei no Jutsu], but didn't even release Edo Tensei.
The one who truly resurrected him with Edo Tensei was this Mercenary Tao who could devour souls.
Uchiha Madara himself didn't realize that he had overlooked something at this moment. Gojo Satoru was about to speak, but suddenly felt his soul being squeezed again.
An incredibly brutal and solid soul squeezed into this body.
He felt flattened in an instant.
"You guy!"
Even with Gojo Satoru's personality, he felt shocked and angry at this moment.
That alien soul, identical to him, the true owner of this body, had returned.
Kaito Shirogane's body suddenly stopped moving. His Sharingan and Six Eyes stopped rotating simultaneously, and the astonishment in his eyes quickly dissipated.
Uchiha Obito's body reappeared completely intact, defying common sense, as if time had flowed backward. The corpse Kaito Shirogane was carrying had disappeared unknowingly.
Uchiha Madara was equally shocked and angry that his soul was completely suppressed in an instant. He had just managed to control the powerful chakra that suddenly appeared in this body and restored his hands, defeating the double Rinnegan Uchiha Obito with a single Sharingan.
He was about to continue his grand plan. Whether it was the hidden Sage of Six Paths or the Golden Monster running rampant now, he, Uchiha Madara, could definitely fight them.
But at such a time, that host actually crudely snatched back control of the body.
Not only that, he even wanted to use his soul to perform his jutsu.
Kaito Shirogane's lips curled into a smile. He sensed that intense killing intent.
He found that he might have discovered a way to "bug abuse" using [Wraith Possession].
The characteristics of the [Myriad Tribulations Yin Spirit Yellow Springs Body] allowed Kaito Shirogane's body to accommodate a large number of spirits. With bloodline refinement, he possessed the powerful characteristic of attaching spirits in his body to himself and using the spirits' own abilities.
But this ability was supposed to be random. That is, if he used it normally, it was very likely to attract just an ordinary spirit for possession. Except for giving a little soul energy, it had no further use for the time being.
In previous contacts, Kaito Shirogane had realized that these spirits, because they had no chance of reincarnation, were extremely greedy for his body.
So at certain times, through communication or lure, he could attract specific powerful spirits.
And now, after experiencing [Kotoamatsukami], Kaito Shirogane had mastered a method to proactively select spirits for possession.
That is, his own consciousness first returns to the consciousness space, vacating the [Throne of the Heart], and then finding a way to let the soul he wants, such as Gojo Satoru or Uchiha Madara, enter the Throne of the Heart.
Let the other party control his body first.
Then he uses his stronger and more solid soul body to forcibly sit on the throne, squeezing the two souls to the edge. This scene was similar to when God Hand Roland forcibly squeezed him and Gojo Satoru out.
Kaito Shirogane knew that after this time, Gojo Satoru and Uchiha Madara would definitely not fall for it again. Before that, he must obtain power sufficient to dominate other souls!
Behind Kaito Shirogane, Uchiha Obito appeared intact again. As if he had been ready to go for a long time, a Kamui hit Kaito Shirogane's body at almost zero distance.
The distorted space instantly twisted Kaito Shirogane's head along with his body.
Inside Kaito Shirogane's body, Uchiha Madara and Gojo Satoru stopped their agitation, both feeling somewhat astonished watching this scene. They didn't expect the always keen host to be hit in the head by a single blow.
Both could still perceive everything outside at this moment. Suddenly, he felt the host forming hand seals.
This is... [Izanagi]!
As the ultimate dōjutsu of the Uchiha clan, a jutsu capable of rewriting reality at the cost of permanently losing a Sharingan.
At any time, it was the key for top Uchiha ninjas to reverse victory and defeat.
Uchiha Madara certainly knew this jutsu. In fact, Uchiha Obito's jutsu was taught by him.
He realized at this moment that just before he killed Uchiha Obito, the other party had already used Izanagi and modified the reality of being killed by him, changing it to the reality of him suffering a Kamui attack.
Because of the special characteristic of modifying reality, he didn't notice the abnormality of that corpse at the first moment.
Pfft!
No matter how hard the head was, it shattered instantly under the distortion of spatial teleportation.
Kaito Shirogane's headless body still stood upright. The next moment, his body appeared completely intact on the other side.
A slightly neurotic smile was on his lips.
"To be honest, I haven't experienced the feeling of a shattered head yet. It's really... novel."
The excruciating pain of torn nerves was brief, followed by a momentary blackout of consciousness.
But even without [Izanagi], Kaito Shirogane wouldn't die from a torn head.
After sensing that Uchiha Obito used long-range Kamui, he completely relaxed his vigilance. He knew he had already won.
He was tall, looking down at Uchiha Obito at this moment.
"Double eyes versus single eye, with both having [Izanagi], you seem to feel you have a great advantage."
Izanagi's ability to modify reality is specifically manifested as: recording the user's state, modifying reality within a period after activating the jutsu, erasing all unfavorable realities, and only allowing favorable realities to occur.
Using this ability properly, besides granting oneself a temporary immortality, one could also launch a powerful and almost unavoidable attack.
But Kaito Shirogane still shook his head, very dissatisfied with Uchiha Obito's combat intelligence.
"Did you forget a most basic fact..."
"Without double Kamui, you are not my opponent at all."
Obito was stunned, not reacting immediately. Naturally, he couldn't directly use his Mangekyō Sharingan to activate this jutsu. In fact, he still had a spare Sharingan that Uchiha Madara used after transplanting his eyes to Nagato.
That hidden eye was implanted in his body created by White Zetsu.
This expression, this tone, was the original Mercenary Tao?!
Obito's first reaction was confirming the identity of Mercenary Tao at this moment. The next moment, he began to think why the other party mentioned double Kamui. Could it be...
Mercenary Tao was absolutely certain that he had to use Izanagi one more time?!
Amidst Gojo Satoru's dissatisfied clicking of tongue, on Kaito Shirogane's left fingertip, positive energy repulsion and negative energy attraction entangled intensely. A terrifying fluctuation that seemed to tear space completely apart appeared.
[Hollow Technique: Purple]!
Bang!
Accompanied by the dimming of Kaito Shirogane's three-tomoe Sharingan, this fluctuation pierced through Obito's chest almost instantly.
Kaito Shirogane casually gouged out the blind Sharingan, giving a good review again for the good adaptability of this clan's eyes.
Of course, this also benefited from his high-speed regeneration characteristic. Ordinary Reincarnators couldn't perform eye transplantation so crudely.
After Kaito Shirogane gouged out that eyeball, his original eyeball quickly grew back. He stood in place somewhat bored, waiting for that strike after Uchiha Obito used [Izanagi].
At the same time, his right hand had completed the hand seal. Intense Cursed Energy turned into a Domain, expanding again.
"Damn it, this guy activates my technique without suffering from technique burnout..."
Gojo Satoru's soul rested his hands behind his head. He realized that this time he was completely used by Kaito Shirogane. But at the same time, he realized that as the other party accommodated him deeper, the imprint of the Limitless Cursed Technique became clearer.
Perhaps the other party would really become a new Six Eyes sorcerer in the future. Moreover, thinking of the tens of thousands of spirits in that pure white space potentially turning into Cursed Spirits with certain techniques, even with his ability and knowledge, he whistled.
"What a... monster."
Kaito Shirogane saw Uchiha Obito's corpse disappear. Intense repulsion and invisible force descended from behind him.
Sensing the threat of death, Uchiha Obito's face twisted in an instant, and the Rinnegan's ability expanded fully.
But everything was too late.
[Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void]!
This Domain expanded again.
Kaito Shirogane felt countless information exploding. Uchiha Obito, who erupted with violent chakra turning into Shinra Tensei, also froze in the Domain.
Compared to genjutsu, this move was even harder to resist, possessing a strong "first-sight kill" characteristic.
Kaito Shirogane took a step forward, landing lightly in front of Obito.
He didn't maliciously pluck the opponent's head like Gojo Satoru. Instead, he gouged with one hand, and a purple eye with a large number of spiral patterns fell into his hand.
[You obtained item: Rinnegan]
[Milestone: Thousand Eyes (Rare) completed]
[Thousand Eyes (Rare): After equipping the milestone, you will be granted extra Special Dōjutsu Proficiency and obtain an exclusive third eye biological weapon slot.] (After unlocking the biological weapon slot, it remains effective even without equipping the milestone)
Kaito Shirogane's finger pressed on the forehead of the helpless Uchiha Obito, then with a boom of golden Ki, pierced through with a pfft.
