Bang!
After the impact, Uchiha Jinsuke fell heavily to the ground like a regular person, covered in mud, rocks, and dust.
He didn't get up right away, but instead stood there blankly, as if he hadn't figured out what had just happened.
Or rather, he had figured it out, but his emotions wouldn't let him accept reality.
Conflicting emotions surged in his mind, and the red light of his Sharingan flickered on and off, so much so that he didn't take the most correct course of action at this moment.
——To investigate the traces left by the enemy, confirm that he was helpless, and then ask someone capable of handling the problem for help.
Uchiha Jinsuke was only thinking that he had stabbed Kabuto earlier and saw blood, so it wasn't a Shadow Clone, but the real Kabuto had been captured by a mysterious person.
——To save himself!
Uchiha Jinsuke wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was very smart, smart enough to figure out the cause and effect in an instant.
But understanding doesn't mean accepting, especially for people like the Uchiha, who are more likely to get stuck in their own heads.
Uchiha Jinsuke replayed the scene from earlier in his mind, deeply struggling with it, as if it could continue forever unless an external force broke through.
But the previous Yakushi Kabuto naturally wouldn't appear, and after the masked man brought him into the other dimension, he seemed to lose interest in Uchiha Jinsuke and didn't attack again.
The moonlight was dim, and the jungle returned to silence, with occasional insect chirps, as if returning to its usual calm.
Whoosh...
A sound of wind breaking rang out, and Jiraiya, who had followed the tracks, landed on the ground. Looking at Jinsuke standing there blankly, he frowned slightly, "What happened here? Where's Kabuto? Did he escape?"
Hearing Jiraiya's query, Uchiha Jinsuke finally came back to his senses and said urgently, "This is bad, Jiraiya-sama. Kabuto, he was captured by a mysterious person."
"Huh?"
Jiraiya's face seemed to be filled with question marks.
...
Inside the other dimension, when Kabuto was dragged in, all the cells in his body were filled with numbness.
But fortunately, he was in Sage Mode, and with a short sword stuck in his chest, he had recovered by the time he was about to fall onto the platform.
He put his hands on the ground, did a front flip, and stood up.
Yakushi Kabuto pulled out the short sword from his chest, green light flowing from his palm, healing his injuries while observing the surrounding environment.
Gloomy, dark, cold... Rather than an environment, it's more like a manifestation of someone's inner self, just like Orochimaru-sama said.
"As a rogue ninja, your actions confuse me a little."
On a high platform, Obito stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Kabuto, and said slowly, "Since you've already betrayed Konoha, why hold back? If you hadn't gone to save that idiot, you wouldn't have been captured by me."
"Rogue ninja, you seem to misunderstand me." Yakushi Kabuto licked the blood from his fingertip and smiled,
"I've never been a ninja of Konoha, so how can I betray it? From the beginning, my loyalty has been only to Orochimaru-sama."
"Loyalty? But you're causing trouble for Orochimaru."
Red light flashed in Obito's eyes, as if he wanted to see through Yakushi Kabuto's heart, testing him, "Or is this also part of Orochimaru's plan?"
"You seem to be very hostile to Orochimaru-sama. Is it because you almost died at his hands last time?"
Yakushi Kabuto smiled, his tone mocking, "To be able to survive even after being pierced through the heart, you're really like an unkillable cockroach."
A flash of anger flitted through Obito's eyes, and he said coldly, "You don't seem to understand the situation. After entering this space, no one can get out without my permission."
"Is that so? I actually doubt that."
Yakushi Kabuto bit his finger, formed hand seals, and said softly, "Summoning Technique!"
Bang!
In a cloud of white smoke, a huge blue snake lifted Yakushi Kabuto high up.
The empty other dimension suddenly had such a thing, Obito's face changed slightly, his eyes flickering, thinking of some bad memories.
Standing on the head of the blue snake, now it was Yakushi Kabuto's turn to look down at Obito. He pushed up his glasses and said slowly,
"I'll let it go this time, but if you speak rudely again, I'll kill you directly."
With a bang, the blue snake turned into white smoke, and after a while, Yakushi Kabuto also disappeared.
"Kill me? What empty words..."
A fierce look flashed in Obito's eyes, not knowing whether he was angry at what Yakushi Kabuto said or angry at being slapped in the face just now.
The air distorted, and Uzumaki swallowed him in. In the blink of an eye, he arrived on a tree branch.
Zetsu poked his head out from the tree trunk and asked, "How did it go? Did you successfully persuade him to join the Akatsuki organization?"
Obito glanced at Zetsu and said slowly, "He got away. I'll leave the task of finding Kabuto's whereabouts to you."
"Huh?!"
Zetsu tilted his head, surprised, "He got away? Didn't you bring him into the other dimension?"
"...Yes, but he did escape, using a summoning beast."
Obito was silent for a moment and described the specific scene.
In fact, he didn't know what method Kabuto used. In the past, 'Kamui' was always effective. Once brought into the other dimension, the victory was basically locked.
But now, Orochimaru didn't faint after entering the other dimension, and Kabuto even managed to escape successfully from his private space without him unlocking it.
If he didn't figure out the specific reason, he would be restricted in the future when facing these two people again.
White Zetsu's face showed a question mark, ignorant, but a faint light flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes, speaking in a low voice,
"That should be a reverse summoning, unique to the three great sacred places' summoning beasts. It requires a special summoning scroll to use, which is very rare."
"I see." Obito was thoughtful, and suddenly his face became very ugly.
Unique to the three sacred places, requiring a summoning scroll... His former teacher—Minato Namikaze was also a disciple of Mount Myōboku and could also perform summoning with it.
Obito always thought that if he understood 'Flying Thunder God' a little more, he might be able to successfully attack his teacher, bring him into the Kamui space, and lock in victory, but now, he learned that even if he had succeeded, it would have been in vain and he would have been easily escaped like now.
Thinking of this, Obito glared at Black Zetsu, "Why didn't you say this earlier?"
He had never seen it in the information left by Uchiha Madara either.
Black Zetsu lowered his eyes and said slowly, "It's been too long, I didn't remember it for a while."
Actually, it was true. It didn't know much about the three great sacred places either.
Over the millennia, although many people had successfully trained in Senjutsu, they usually had exceptionally keen senses, so it didn't dare to get too close, and various information was obtained through indirect means.
Uchiha Madara, although a powerful person on par with the First Hokage, didn't have Senjutsu talent and hadn't signed a contract with any sacred place, so he didn't know about 'reverse summoning'.
"It seems that the threat of Kabuto needs to be reconsidered."
Red light flashed in Obito's eyes, and he asked again, "Kabuto still has Ryuuchi Cave's summoning beasts. Does this mean that he may still have contact with Orochimaru?"
"Regarding this, I don't think you need to worry too much."
Black Zetsu said lightly, "For thousands of years, except for Mount Myōboku's clear attitude, Ryuuchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest have always maintained neutrality and will only give some help to the ninjas they approve of."
"For example, the Third Kazekage, who was killed by Sasori before, also had a giant summoning beast from Ryuuchi Cave. This doesn't affect Orochimaru having one at all."
"I see." Obito nodded slightly. "Find Kabuto's whereabouts as soon as possible."
