Chapter 245: What Environment Do Toads Prefer to Live In?
Chapter 245: What Environment Do Toads Prefer to Live In?
During the battle at the Southern Shrine, YuYi Xuan Yue had not yet possessed these purple swirling eyes.
Now, as they met again, not only was his Kaleidoscope Sharingan of no use against YuYi, but he also felt a sense of suppression from it.
Kakashi's heart sank.
The enemy had grown stronger!
This brief exchange that had shocked Kakashi to his core meant nothing to YuYi Xuan Yue; it was like the blink of an eye, and he didn't give it a second thought.
He spotted Kakashi and calmly asked, "Back to the previous question. As his teacher, you should know about Naruto's movements, shouldn't you?"
The sound of a thousand birds chirping filled the air as Kakashi, resolved to die if necessary, performed the Lightning Blade with his right hand, his body sinking slightly and his legs bent with one foot forward and the other back, pressing firmly against the ground.
After hearing YuYi's question, Kakashi shook his head calmly and replied, "Whether I know or not, I won't tell you."
"Is that so?"
YuYi shook his head and took a step towards Kakashi, no longer wasting any time.
However, as soon as he took a step, Kakashi, empowered by the charging Lightning Blade, moved like lightning and reached YuYi first. The lightning in his hand aimed straight for YuYi's heart.
The speed was so fast that no one else could react in time.
But, just like during the Chunin Exams, YuYi easily grabbed Kakashi's wrist, stopping his Lightning Blade in its tracks.
But this time, it didn't end there.
"Kamui!"
Kakashi's Kaleidoscope Sharingan ability activated, and a spiral of space-distorting power appeared on YuYi's body.
In an instant, it seemed like YuYi's entire body would be sucked into the Kamui dimension.
YuYi's body trembled, and he quickly sidestepped, forcibly breaking free from the pull of the dimension. In the moment that Kakashi was taken aback, YuYi appeared at his side.
"Too slow," YuYi commented casually.
If he had both the Kamui dimensions, this eye technique might have caused him some trouble.
But with only one Kamui dimension, the eye technique was a bit slower.
While it was still difficult for other ninjas to dodge, for YuYi, it was, as he said, too slow.
Because of the strain that using the Sharingan put on his body, especially the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, Kakashi didn't have time to catch his breath.
Seeing YuYi appear at his side, Kakashi's face was determined as he quickly turned, embracing YuYi with the intention of taking them both into the Kamui dimension.
Suddenly, a black rod pierced through Kakashi's outstretched palms, shattering his plans.
As Kakashi fell towards YuYi due to the inertia, YuYi glanced at the Kaleidoscope Sharingan in Kakashi's left eye.
"I almost forgot. This is a good opportunity to reclaim this Sharingan."
YuYi extended his right hand and curled his fingers.
With a pained cry, Kakashi could do nothing as a bloody Kaleidoscope Sharingan was plucked from his eye socket and fell into YuYi's palm.
After that, YuYi sidestepped, letting Kakashi fall, and looked at the Kaleidoscope Sharingan in his hand, which belonged to Uchiha Obito. With a slight smile, he put it away.
Ever since he had taken the Rinnegan, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and the Akatsuki organization, he had expected some response from their mastermind, Uchiha Obito.
However, after waiting all this time, it seemed like the other party had vanished without a trace from the ninja world.
When something unusual happens, there's usually a devil at work.
Now, at this critical juncture of his true plan, YuYi, of course, had to be prepared for any eventuality.
Although it was unclear why Obito, who had cut ties with his past, didn't reclaim the Mangekyo Sharingan that belonged to Kakashi, YuYi Xuan Yue was more than happy to take it off his hands.
With the same Kamui ability, despite their different manifestations, they could connect to the same Kamui dimension.
In this situation, if he were to encounter Uchiha Obito in the future, no matter what schemes he had in store, YuYi would be able to capture him with ease.
"Obito," YuYi called out.
At that moment, Kakashi, gritting his teeth against the pain, disregarded the temporary disability of his hands. As he fell to the ground, he leaped up with his legs scissoring towards YuYi's neck.
He was well aware of his current predicament, but the final gift left by his late comrade had to be safeguarded at all costs.
The next instant—
Puhui!
Kakashi spat out a mouthful of blood as his body flew upwards in an inverted V shape.
YuYi retracted his right leg, which had been raised in a knee strike, and as Kakashi fell back down due to gravity, YuYi caught him by the forehead with one hand. He lifted Kakashi up and proceeded to cast the Mind Layer Diving Technique.
The Rinnegan's technique was incredibly overbearing.
Even if the recipient's memory was sealed, it could still forcibly break through and extract all the information stored within.
Soon, Kakashi's recent memories flashed through YuYi's Rinnegan eyes.
The memory playback slowed down when it reached Kakashi's most recent interaction with Jiraiya.
In the memory, Jiraiya was telling Kakashi, "I'll be sending Naruto to Mount Myoboku from now on. There's a way for him to enhance his strength there."
"Senjutsu? That's fine. With the current state of the village, we'll need Naruto's power." Kakashi held the Icha Icha Paradise novel and replied without objection.
"It's also for protection against the Akatsuki organization," Jiraiya said solemnly. "Compared to YuYi Xuan Yue, whose target is the tailed beasts, the Akatsuki's intentions are clear, and they are not to be underestimated."
"I understand. If Uchiha Itachi has joined the organization, we certainly can't take them lightly. But is Mount Myoboku truly safe?" Kakashi asked.
Jiraiya laughed heartily and assured him, "Of course! That's where the Great Toad Sage, Gamamaa, and Bunta are! Moreover, the natural energy within Mount Myoboku far surpasses that of the outside world, allowing senjutsu to be utilized to its fullest potential. Not even the Akatsuki, let alone Konoha, could breach that place."
"That's good, then."
The memory paused at this moment, and the scene completely dissipated.
YuYi retracted his palm.
"As expected, Naruto is at Mount Myoboku. As for the location of Mount Myoboku..."
Although Jiraiya hadn't explicitly stated it, he had mentioned a place abundant in natural energy.
The Three Great Dojutsu, renowned for their senjutsu, were undoubtedly located in places with the densest concentration of natural energy in the ninja world.
In the past, YuYi wouldn't have had the means to pinpoint their location.
But now, having successfully cultivated senjutsu himself, his understanding of natural energy far exceeded that of ordinary people. Coupled with the Rinnegan's powerful sensory abilities, he had a clear grasp of the flow of natural energy throughout the ninja world.
YuYi looked up towards the sky.
In a place beyond the naked eye's perception, chakra and natural energy were constantly flowing.
Ever since he had successfully cultivated senjutsu, he had been observing the flow of natural energy and had discovered that it was largely directed towards three distinct locations, corresponding to the Three Great Dojutsu.
Speaking of which, what kind of environment do toads prefer to live in?
