These black feather fragments naturally came from the wings torn from Satori.
They are a collection of Chakra and human negative emotions. If left alone, they would quickly dissipate and return to Satoris' body, much like a Shadow Clone and its original.
However, Obito's 'accidental appearance' unexpectedly resonated with these remnants.
Pain, hatred... the two shared too many similarities.
This resulted in the black feathers gathering, with Obito as the main body.
Although Satoris' wings only made up one-tenth or one-twentieth of its body, it was still a Tailed Beast-level creature.
Obito instantly felt ten times, even dozens of times, more Chakra than before. Empowered by this strength, the Konoha Ninja outside seemed like they could be wiped out with a mere flick of his finger.
However, this free strength was not without its price. Along with it came a mental onslaught – overwhelming rage and malice.
If Obito hadn't been accustomed to his current state, he would have lost his mind instantly, becoming another puppet of the Box of Ultimate Bliss.
But even so, it was only a matter of time.
"Ahhh..."
Obito fell from the sky, landing on a platform and curling up in pain.
His brain felt like a thousand swirling blades, brutally twisting every nerve, a torment a hundred times crueler than being sliced alive.
But ironically, at this moment, his Mangekyo Sharingan grew even brighter and more powerful, passively keeping a sliver of sanity for Obito, allowing him to chew on this pain in a state of extreme clarity.
Uchiha – the cursed clan, truly lived up to its name. However, no matter what, having sanity meant a chance to turn things around. Even in this desperate situation, Obito did not give up thinking.
"What in the world is going on? Why is there... something unknown here? Besides me, in Kamui's dimension..."
In an instant, a spark of realization flashed through his mind. Obito's eyes snapped open, and he suddenly understood everything.
"Kakashi, it was you..."
Other than his unique 'Kamui', nothing else could enter or leave this space. But this space-type Mangekyo Sharingan was not unique to him.
The scoundrel who accepted his gift but failed to keep his promise could also use it.
In other words, the crisis he was currently facing was entirely Kakashi's fault.
Thinking of this, Obito's eyes turned bloodshot, almost bursting with red.
New grudges and old hatreds surged to the forefront, a wave of fury rising in his mind.
The negative emotions belonging to the Box of Ultimate Bliss also fanned the flames, unquestionably turning themselves into fuel, making this fire burn hotter until its current owner completely lost control.
Bang!
With a forceful stomp, the stone platform cracked and caved in. Obito leaped into the air, his eyes flashing with crimson light, and vanished directly into the Uzumaki.
...
"Lord Hokage, the masked man hasn't appeared for four minutes."
Akimichi Choza's small eyes darted alertly. He said in a low voice, "I suspect he believes he has achieved his goal of delaying time and has directly retreated."
The Third Hokage nodded slightly and made several hand gestures to the Konoha Ninja.
Instantly, half of the Konoha ninja team split off and headed towards the direction where Kakashi and the others were fighting.
The sounds of wind slicing through the air came and went like a torrential downpour. As they left, the forest became silent once more, with only a group of silent hunters scanning their surroundings, searching for a prey that might appear from anywhere.
"Lord Hokage, if the masked man intended to leave, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to keep him."
After a moment of silence, Akimichi Choza couldn't help but speak, his expression filled with confusion.
In his eyes, that spatial Ninjutsu was too bizarre. Whether to stay or go seemed to be a matter of a single thought.
If not, how could this guy have fooled them for so long? No ninja of the same level in the ninja world could cope with the current Konoha encirclement.
"Lord Choza, you don't need to worry."
The one who answered Akimichi Choza was not the Third Hokage, but a gentle female voice, "Orochimaru is rushing in this direction."
Akimichi Choza looked at the blue and white figure with surprise and doubt, "Slug Sage? Orochimaru-sama is actually coming, which does indeed give us a chance."
But he felt a little strange as to why they called him 'Lord', but called Orochimaru by his name. The difference was still confusing.
"Let's put other things aside for now."
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, glanced at the other party and said in a deep voice, "The masked man is an extremely troublesome enemy. Now that we've caught his trail, we must do our best to get rid of him. The threat of this person is even greater than that of other Akatsuki members."
That's what he said, but whether this would succeed completely depended on whether the other party was careless and underestimated them.
This tangled battle was too disadvantageous for the current village ninja.
They were chosen as good fighters against giant summons and tailed beasts, but dealing with this agile and strangely skilled guy was not very effective.
If there were a few Nara clan members or Aburame Clan members on the team, relying on the 'Shadow Imitation Technique' or 'Insect Ninjutsu', this battle would be much easier.
"After this battle, let Orochimaru speed up the surgery process for the others."
The Third Hokage secretly made a decision in his heart, his eyes unwavering, like an old cat surveying his territory, waiting for the intruder to appear.
However, there was a gentle breeze, and the leaves opened and closed, but there was no sign of him at all.
"This guy, could he have really escaped..."
Just as this thought appeared in the minds of more and more people, a figure wearing a black coat with red clouds appeared out of thin air.
"As expected, he hasn't left, but what happened to him..."
Those present were all experienced elites who saw at a glance that Obito's condition was wrong. The violent and evil Chakra was more ominous than ever.
But no matter what they thought in their hearts, they had no intention of figuring out the reason and immediately launched attacks in unison.
In an instant, a raging wind swept through the flames, and water columns carried thunder... and bombarded the opponent.
"You want to stop me? You're seeking death! All of you, die!"
A shrill roar suddenly sounded, the resentment in those words as if he was the victim, and Konoha was the culprit who destroyed villages and wiped out settlements.
"Wood Release·Hell Cat Again!"
Suddenly, a huge black cat demon, whose size was comparable to a tailed beast, broke out of the ground. It took on all of the Ninjutsu but was almost unscathed.
"How is that possible?"
The Third Hokage's expression changed. This scale of Wood Release Ninjutsu, even in the hands of his teacher Hashirama, was a small trick. How could this guy use it?
Judging from the previous battle, the masked man's mastery of Wood Release was clearly just a superficial understanding.
However, before Sarutobi Hiruzen could think about it, a strong Chakra fluctuation woke him up, and he immediately shouted, "Everyone, retreat and defend!"
Before the words fell, the giant Cat Again had already raised its two giant tails, and the fine, needle-like cat hair stood up straight. The next moment, they were ejected.
Boom...
A daytime rainstorm enveloped the forest, and the surrounding trees and rocks were turned into hedgehogs in an instant. The places where the cat tail needles passed were in a mess.
Almost all Konoha Ninja were not spared, and terrible injuries appeared on their chests, abdomen, limbs. Even with the physique after the 'Physical Enhancement Surgery', they would lose their combat ability.
The power of Wood Release was terrifying.
The ninjas once again recalled the fear of being controlled by 'God', but ironically, this time, it was Konoha Ninja, which he had been protecting, who were harmed by Wood Release.
The Third Hokage pulled out the wooden thorns stuck in his waist. The slug behind him crawled to the front and began to help heal the wounds. "Lord Hokage, my clones will come to help you heal soon."
Hearing Slug Sage say this, there was no joy on the Third Hokage's face.
Soon? The village ninjas couldn't hold on that long.
Moreover, if the opponent attacked again, what would they rely on to stop it?
With this thought in his mind, the Third Hokage decisively, after recovering some strength from his wounds, took advantage of the gap of releasing Ninjutsu earlier, jumped onto the Cat Again in the open space, and went straight for the masked man.
When controlling wooden creations, this guy must be an entity that remains in the ninja world. This time point was the best time to attack.
"We must not let him attack again!"
A look of determination flashed in the Third Hokage's eyes. He had already made up his mind to die.
He knew many Ninjutsu, but there were only a few that could quickly defeat and kill a ninja of the same level, and there was only one that could be released instantly, which was the 'Dead Demon Consuming Seal' that the Fourth Hokage had used.
Although this forbidden technique came at a great cost, it was quite practical in a sense.
Bang bang bang!
Heavy footsteps sounded on the Cat Again. The Third Hokage climbed quickly, but what made him a little confused was that this thing didn't interfere with or prevent his approach as expected.
The masked man, who was even standing on the top of the big cat's head, let out an inexplicable roar and disappeared directly in place.
Instantly, the black wooden cat lost control and froze in place. The Third Hokage also froze along with it.
He inexplicably had a feeling that the masked man had really disappeared this time.
But... what's going on?
The Third Hokage's mood was a little complicated and unspeakable for a while. He couldn't say whether he was lucky or something else... a swear word got stuck in his throat and couldn't be spit out.
Although it was strange to say, they couldn't stop the other party at all. If he wanted to leave, he should have left earlier. What was the meaning of losing his temper like this?
It was true that the ninjas present suffered a lot of injuries, but after all, they were all elites of various clans and strong people who were specially selected to deal with tailed beasts. After receiving his reminder, each of them protected their vital points very well. No one died on the spot.
The reason why the Third Hokage was so anxious and risked his life was to prevent the other party from continuing to attack. Who knew that he would just leave?
Even with Sarutobi Hiruzen's years of Hokage cultivation, after experiencing such ups and downs, he couldn't help but want to curse.
"This guy... this guy..."
Looking at the direction in which the other party disappeared, the Third Hokage murmured to himself, suddenly thinking of a sentence Orochimaru had said - Uchiha are all sick!
Now it seemed that this guy's sudden outburst was really like a relapse.
"Old man, what are you spacing out about?"
Suddenly, a blue and white man appeared on top of the Cat Again, with a smile on his face.
"It was really close. Two Hokage died because of the same person and the same Ninjutsu."
"If I were to witness this scene again, it would be too embarrassing for me as a disciple."
"Orochimaru... when did you come?" The Third Hokage came back to his senses, vaguely hearing his disciple's dissatisfaction with his decisive death, but still said, "Now is not the time to say this. Go and support Kakashi and the others."
"No hurry, no hurry. They are already getting better and better. I don't think anything will happen."
Orochimaru slowly formed a Summoning Technique seal and smiled, "I still need to heal these people first. It would be too bad if the other party launched a surprise attack."
Boom!
A burst of white smoke rose, and Slug Sage's huge body directly pushed the wooden cat again into the ground. Almost in an instant, she split into countless smaller versions of herself, treating the injured ninjas of various clans in groups of three or five.
Looking down at this scene, Orochimaru exhaled a puff of white air.
For the current clone, it was still quite difficult to summon a giant summon beast at the level of an immortal, not to mention that the battle just now had cost him too much energy and he had not yet recovered.
The Third Hokage saw Orochimaru's abnormality at a glance and asked with surprise and doubt, "It seems that the battle with the leader of the Akatsuki organization was also difficult for you."
He couldn't see that this was a clone derived from the 'Slug Division Technique'. He only considered the weakness in its essence as temporary weakness after fighting Nagato.
"Old man, don't worry. I can..."
The smile on Orochimaru's face suddenly froze, and his gaze turned towards the direction of Kakashi and others' battle. He asked with surprise and doubt, "He would actually do this? No way?"
"What happened?" The Third Hokage's expression also sank.
"Forget what I said. Kakashi is in big trouble."
Orochimaru tapped his feet lightly and jumped onto a treetop in one step, "I don't have time to waste here."
The Third Hokage's expression changed again and again. He didn't chase after him. The ninja combat power here was greatly reduced and needed someone to protect them for the time being.
What's more, he believed that Orochimaru could handle things over there.
...
Time went back to just now.
After making a choice, Kakashi and others let go of the fleeing Kusagakure Ninja and others, only sending out a certain number of people to drive them away, and directing all the accumulated pressure toward 'Satori'.
This dog thing had been teasing everyone with his own advantages before, which really aroused too much hatred.
At first, the Konoha ninjas were holding back a little, for fear of breaking the shackles set by the Earth Release ninjas, but seeing that the other party's wings only grew a little bit and didn't grow any longer, they completely let go.
Even the Taijutsu ninjas took turns to give 'Satori' some loving fists and feet.
Boom boom boom...
The roar continued one after another, along with screams and roars, and laughter from all directions.
After this continued for a while, Kakashi narrowed his eyes and said that the ninjas in the village were rushing over, and immediately said loudly,
"Sealing Team ninjas, do you have Sealing Team ninjas with you?"
The elites of various clans looked at each other. Hyuga Hizashi and several other Hyuga ninjas who were sorting stood up.
However, before they could rush to 'Satori's' side, a ninja wearing a black coat with red clouds appeared out of thin air.
He stared at Kakashi and let out a roar, "Finally, I found you!"
