Chapter 57: Obito Goes Mad
"Guy!"
This time it was Kakashi's turn to save someone.
He could die at Obito's hands, but he couldn't let his friend die at Obito's hands too.
Kakashi clenched his right hand as lightning blazed forth, stabbing toward Obito's hands.
"Chidori!"
"Hmph!" Obito snorted coldly in displeasure, retreating two steps. His words clearly carried bitterness: "Kakashi, looks like you've already got new comrades!"
"As expected, only I still remember Rin now!"
"Look!"
"This is reality— how ugly!"
"Obito!" Kakashi hastily explained: "I haven't forgotten Rin!"
"Obito, I'm not coveting your eye. I'm also willing to return your eye to you, but I can't agree with you!"
"I can't watch you make mistake after mistake!"
"I must stop you!"
"Also, I'm very sorry, Obito. It's all my fault!"
"I didn't protect Rin well, and I didn't protect your eye either. Your eye was seized and destroyed by Uchiha Yasushi!"
"This current three-tomoe Sharingan was specially approved for my use by the Third Hokage, worried about my combat power being damaged."
"What?!" This time Obito immediately exploded.
Originally Obito still harbored a glimmer of hope, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Missing one eye meant that even if he became the Ten-Tails jinchuriki in the future, only one eye could evolve into the Rinnegan.
Of course, what hurt him even more was that Kakashi, who should have been walking through the shinobi world using his eye, actually had someone else's eye installed in his socket.
This feeling was like being NTR'd, making it especially hard for him to accept.
"Kakashi, you deserve death!"
"How could you use someone else's eye!"
Obito roared frantically in rage. His Mangekyo Sharingan spun madly as he brought his hands together and slapped them on the ground.
"Wood Release: Hell Chaos!"
Under the horrified gazes of Konoha's shinobi, the earth suddenly cracked. Countless thick tree roots burst from the ground like giant pythons, tearing the surface. Tree trunks twisted like demon arms with suffocating oppressive force, rising from the ground and spiraling skyward.
The tree bodies were covered in thorns. Barbs flickered with cold light, writhing and extending like living creatures, growing wildly in all directions.
Any shinobi caught within only had time to scream once before being immediately entangled and crushed by countless thorns, ground into minced meat in moments.
The air filled with heavy blood smell. Screams and the roaring of growing trees wove into a hellish symphony.
Massive amounts of fresh blood flowed down the thorns, winding gruesome bloodstains on the bark.
The blood deeply soaked into the tree bodies. Originally gray-brown trunks gradually dyed dark red, writhing and swelling like cursed living things, as if the entire forest was greedily sucking life.
Pain in the sky frowned slightly. He was somewhat dissatisfied that Obito didn't follow the plan but ran over to steal his spotlight.
But considering how hard Obito was working, he didn't fuss about it.
Instead, because Obito revealed another Wood Release skill, his evaluation of him increased somewhat.
Pain's gaze swept across the Third Hokage and Might Guy, deciding to leave Might Guy to Obito while he focused on dealing with the Third's "Reaper Death Seal."
"Konoha people, do you still have time to worry about others?"
Pain's voice was cold and hollow. The Rinnegan glowed with indifferent purple light, as if looking down on ants.
He extended his left hand, pressing emptily toward the Third. An attraction force arose from nowhere, twisting the air into visibly spiraling patterns.
"Universal Pull!"
The Third immediately felt his body out of control, involuntarily flying toward Pain.
"Hokage-sama!"
Everyone was shocked, faces changing drastically as they hastily intervened.
"Secret Technique: Shadow Binding Jutsu!"
Nara Shikasumi's hands formed seals rapidly, finger shadows fluttering like butterflies. The shadows beneath everyone's feet immediately came alive, surging like tides, leaping up from nowhere, dispersing into dozens of shadow whips that wrapped around the Third's waist. The shadow lines stretched taut, pulling backward forcefully to resist that massive attraction.
Simultaneously, Aburame clan shinobi's sleeves bulged. Dark swarms of insects poured out like black clouds, rapidly crawling along shadow whips onto the Third's body, then using the attraction force to drift toward Pain's direction.
The Third also remained calm in crisis, eyes sharp as knives. The Adamantine Staff in his hand raised high as he shouted at Pain:
"Extend, Monkey King Enma!"
Following the Third's command, the Adamantine Staff immediately extended from nowhere. The staff body gleamed with metallic luster in sunlight, emitting low humming, like a divine spear stabbing straight toward Pain.
"Hmph, petty tricks!" Pain snorted coldly, flipping his wrist and pushing his palm outward. "Almighty Push!"
Attraction immediately transformed into repulsion. Violent shockwaves exploded like tsunamis. Even the air was twisted and deformed by invisible force compression.
The Adamantine Staff only resisted briefly before being deflected. Together with the insect swarm and the Third, all were heavily blasted away.
The Third's body flew backward like a kite with broken string, but his spirit lifted. Still airborne, he shouted loudly:
"Now!"
"Attack!"
"HAH!" Akimichi Torifu, who'd been conserving energy, roared explosively. His body suddenly inflated like being filled with air. Simultaneously, his shoulder blades writhed as two butterfly wings sprouted. Lunging toward Pain, his giant palm opened, grabbing over.
"Come down!"
Pain had fought Akimichi Choza before and already understood the Akimichi clan's methods. Immediately his figure shot upward.
Simultaneously, Konan in the sky pointed downward. Explosive tags fluttered like snowflakes, rapidly condensing into a vicious white dragon coiling toward Akimichi Torifu's massive body.
But Akimichi Torifu completely ignored the white dragon, eyes only on Pain. His arms' muscles knotted like giant pincers opening. His body followed Pain upward, large hands grabbing repeatedly, determined to bring down this Rain Village leader.
Konoha Village's many shinobi didn't betray Akimichi Torifu's trust either. A group simultaneously formed seals, exhaling Wind Release.
Howling gales, sharp air currents gathered into storms, sweeping toward the white dragon.
Baku also raised its long trunk high. After inhaling enough air, it suddenly exhaled, coordinating to blow fierce winds, enhancing everyone's Wind Release power.
At the same time, many Yamanaka clan shinobi simultaneously launched secret techniques at Pain.
"Secret Technique: Mind Body Switch Jutsu!"
They didn't need to completely immobilize Pain—just freeze him for an instant, and Akimichi Torifu could naturally achieve his objective.
Having numbers was just this simple and brutal!
However, Konoha's shinobi didn't know that within Pain's body, there was no true soul.
So-called mind control secret techniques only worked on people— completely ineffective on puppets!
Pain's body had no hesitation whatsoever, turning and shifting freely in mid-air. The black robe with red clouds traced afterimages. No matter how Akimichi Torifu's large hands waved, they couldn't touch his hem.
BOOM!
The explosive tag white dragon finally detonated. Brilliant white fire instantly devoured half the sky.
The massive shockwave spread in all directions, blowing everyone off their feet.
The explosion's thick smoke rolled overwhelmingly, blocking out sun and sky, further obstructing everyone's vision, preventing continued attacks.
Before the smoke cleared, a cold voice came from the sky again.
"Almighty Push!"
The skill cooldown time had ended.
