Chapter 199: The Final Appearance [88]
Chapter 199: The Final Appearance [88]
At this moment, Obito's eye power was indeed slightly inferior to that of Uchiha Madara.
While controlling the Nine-Tails, he could only manage to manifest the third stage of Susanoo, and did not have the capacity to manifest its complete form on top of that, nor could he perform the Tailed Beast Ball jutsu.
However, once Minato used his sealing technique to sever Obito's connection with the Nine-Tails, he no longer had to divide his attention between controlling the beast and could instead focus on unleashing his full power.
Susanoo Perfect Form!
"This... This chakra..."
The ninjas within Konoha Village trembled in fear, their spines chilling as their bodies shook uncontrollably.
Some couldn't even maintain their stance under the oppressive might of this immense chakra.
Unlike the Bijuu.
The pressure emitted by the Susanoo's perfect form was far more overwhelming than that of a tailed beast, and it wasn't just about the comparable amount of chakra. The key difference lay in the fact that the chakra of the Susanoo's perfect form was completely molded and thus represented the highest level of chakra control! What an incredibly terrifying power.
Chakra molding was something that Hatake clan ninjutsu in the second stage could achieve. In other words, one would have to be at least a jounin-level ninja to possess such chakra control.
Yet, Obito had forcibly molded an enormous chakra comparable to that of a Bijuu, creating an overwhelmingly oppressive force—a stark contrast between heaven and earth.
"Don't give up, Hokage-sama!"
Might Guy looked up at the gigantic Susanoo perfect form.
In his Eight Inner Gates Formation state, he didn't feel as strongly oppressed, and he could also sense the terrifying power coursing through his own body.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Might Guy leaped up once more, positioning himself directly in front of Obito. His right fist clenched, he unleashed a punch aimed at the head of the Susanoo perfect form.
He intended to use his final attack to crush his enemy's power once more!
But.
This time, Obito didn't remain indifferent to his assault.
Uchiha Obito watched impassively, and the kaleidoscope pattern in his eyes suddenly unleashed a powerful eye technique, causing a pitch-black vortex to appear directly in front of him.
BOOM!!!
The air cannon created by Might Guy's punch was swallowed by the black vortex and failed to strike the true body of the Susanoo perfect form!
"How could this be..."
Witnessing this, a chill spread through Might Guy's heart.
The Eight Inner Gates Formation was his last resort, and he could sense that he even had the power to suppress the Nine-Tails. Yet, in the face of Obito's space-time ninjutsu, he was utterly helpless! If it were just the Susanoo perfect form, he would have been confident in destroying it. However, his power didn't reach the level required to distort space, and he couldn't contend with Kamui.
Might Guy fell from the air.
That previous attack had been his final move, and he could feel the power within him rapidly waning. The chakra flame burning in his heart also grew fainter by the second.
"So I still can't protect Konoha..."
This thought flashed through his mind.
Whoosh!
Jiraiya rushed over and caught his falling body, then turned to face Obito.
Obito's gaze was indifferent as he manipulated the Susanoo perfect form, unsheathing the tanto that radiated a blue glow. Under the horrified gazes of Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi, he swung his sword down.
BOOM!!!
The might of this sword strike seemed to cause the heavens to collapse and the earth to sink.
Just the resulting waves of energy were enough to overwhelm the outer walls of Konoha, causing countless cracks to appear before the walls crumbled into pieces one after another.
Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi were like small boats in the rolling waves, being swept farther and farther away, unable to even maintain their stances.
Szzz!
The sword tip tore through the earth, extending all the way to the distant mountains, cleanly splitting the peaks of two mountains in half!
"The mountain peaks were..."
After the waves of energy had passed, Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi managed to stand shakily. They stared at the two chunks of mountain flying through the air in the distance, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Those mountain peaks were at least several dozen miles away, yet with a single strike, Obito had cleaved them in two.
Witnessing the might of the Susanoo's perfect form, even Jiraiya felt a chasm-like gap, vaguely sensing a kind of despair that was even more oppressive than the desperation he had felt facing Mountain Toad Hiruzen's attack back during the Second Great Ninja War.
Space-time ninjutsu...
It could block Might Guy's attacks, rendering all assaults useless...
And the power of the Susanoo's perfect form far surpassed that of an S-rank ninjutsu. If this sword strike had landed directly on Konoha, the entire village would have surely been destroyed!
Both offense and defense had reached such terrifying levels.
How could they possibly deal with an opponent like this?
Just like Jiraiya, Hiruzen Sarutobi also felt his body stiffen, and he had no idea how to face such an enemy.
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of Feng Ye, who should still be in Konoha... But then he realized that even Feng Ye's speed would likely be meaningless against such an opponent, as their defense seemed to have no weak spots. A single strike was enough to annihilate all of Konoha.
Moreover...
The enemy also possessed space ninjutsu.
"Have you already lost all hope?" Obito Uchiha glanced at Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing their pale faces as they stood there without continuing their attacks, appearing to have lost their will to fight. He asked indifferently.
He glanced at the distant mountains, sensing that the Nine-Tails' chakra was being sealed, and let out a cold laugh. Looking down at Konoha, he said, "Do you want to seal the Nine-Tails again? But if you do that, you won't be able to protect Konoha."
As he spoke, Obito controlled the Susanoo's perfect form, reaching out with its two huge hands to grasp the blue tanto. He then lifted the sword high above Konoha.
Having witnessed the power of the previous sword strike, the Konoha ninjas present could all clearly imagine what would happen if this sword were to fall.
Konoha would surely cease to exist!
...
Around the same time, far away in the mountains outside Konoha, the Nine-Tails' chakra had completely disappeared without a trace. One person knelt weakly, while another stood before Minato Namikaze.
The one kneeling was—
Minato Namikaze.
At this moment, Minato could feel his soul being pulled away by the Shinigami that the Shiki Fujin had summoned. He managed to glance at the massive Susanoo perfect form in the direction of Konoha with great difficulty.
"The rest is up to you..." Minato said with difficulty.
The figure standing before Minato nodded slightly, and the chakra of the Nine-Tails surged out of his body, silver and golden lights intertwining. In the next moment, his figure vanished.
Watching the figure disappear, Minato let out a bitter laugh.
He had originally thought that he could protect the village.
But the truth was that he had been too confident in his abilities.
When Konoha truly faced a crisis, he lacked the power to protect it, and he couldn't even seal the Nine-Tails by himself, as his body couldn't withstand the vast chakra of the beast. He could only use the Shiki Fujin to take the Nine-Tails with him in death.
And when he realized that the situation in Konoha was taking a turn for the worse, he understood that even if he took the Nine-Tails with him, he couldn't stop Konoha from being destroyed. This realization filled him with despair.
Fortunately,
At the most desperate moment, he saw the last glimmer of hope.
"The power of the Nine-Tails is now yours..."
"Feng Ye."
Minato whispered the last weak words, falling towards the ground as his consciousness gradually faded into darkness.
Now that Feng Ye had become the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails,
perhaps...
he could defeat 'Uchiha Madara'?
