Chapter 91: Obito of the Ninja World: Is Rin from Another World Also Gentle and Kind?
Chapter 91: Obito of the Ninja World: Is Rin from Another World Also Gentle and Kind?
As he beheld this figure, Obito of the Ninja World's expression changed drastically:
"Wa..."
"Shh! I told you not to be too surprised, be careful not to draw attention!"
Zetsu patted Obito's back, forcing him to calm down:
"Is this guy the other world's Minato?"
"Yes."
"Hmph! I didn't expect him to still be alive. In that case, Rin..."
Obito of the Ninja World's eyes flickered, and his voice inevitably carried a hint of anticipation.
Is this a world where Rin didn't die?
If so, how is that world's Rin doing now?
Is she married? If so, to whom? Could it be me?
Obito's heart began to pound as these thoughts raced through his mind.
Calm down! Calm down! It's just Rin from another world, it has nothing to do with me... No... I can't calm down completely. Even if it's Rin from another world, she's still Rin! Damn it! I really want to know!
Obito's expression kept changing.
Black Zetsu, seeing his reaction, underwent a drastic change in his own expression.
This is bad! This guy indeed has feelings for Rin from another world as well.
In that case, we can't let him know about Rin's situation, or he might go crazy and affect our plans...
Damn it!
But it won't do to take him away now.
For now, we can only hope that Tsunade doesn't keep staring at Kakashi.
Black Zetsu felt extremely frustrated.
Although he had anticipated this possibility, he believed that Obito should be able to distinguish between his own world and the other one.
Unbelievable...
"The next match will be between the Lightning State and the Fire State.
May the two governors please prepare their contestants to take the stage!"
Minato on the fighting stage said enthusiastically.
Soon after.
A flash of light appeared.
A man with orange hair and a mature face stood on the fighting stage.
The entire audience boiled with excitement and exclaimed:
"It's Jugo! A natural-born Sage Body! One of Orochimaru's masterpieces! It is said that after Orochimaru's modifications, he possesses many incredible abilities."
"Jugo's type also seems to be a close-quarters fighter, so the confrontation with the Lightning State should be quite interesting."
"Come on! Where's the contestant from the Lightning State? Hurry up and come out!"
"Indeed, it's worthy of another Orochimaru to value this guy so much."
In the audience, Kakashi, who was pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, spoke.
"Let me take a good look at how you, another me, have transformed Jugo." Orochimaru licked his lips, anticipation evident in his voice.
"Jugo is a special individual. Being a natural-born Sage Body allows him to blend better with nature and get closer to other animals. That's quite interesting, and I believe he won't disappoint you."
Orochimaru of the Empire laughed.
"These two really are a pair, sharing the same sinister and twisted interests."
Tsunade of the Ninja World, holding the space-time communication device, turned around and muttered with some displeasure.
Through the space-time communication device.
Obito of the Ninja World was stunned as he saw the two Orochimaru:
Are these the Orochimaru from two different worlds? They don't seem very different.
If that's the case, then this world's Rin should also be very gentle and kind, right?
Anticipation grew in Obito of the Ninja World's eyes.
Beside him, Zetsu, seeing Tsunade turning the space-time communication device, was incredibly nervous:
"No! Don't turn! Don't keep turning it! Stop! Stop! Don't let Obito see the Hatake family! Phew... Good... Good... Finally stopped."
Zetsu was so anxious that he almost broke out in a sweat.
Tsunade of the Ninja World turned the device back, avoiding the view of the Hatake family next to them.
She looked at the fighting stage and couldn't help but wonder:
"Where's the contestant from the Lightning State? In the previous battles between the two states, they always appeared at the same time."
"Hahaha! Here I come!"
Just then.
A loud roar echoed, and in the audience, a flash of lightning appeared, leaping a thousand meters in distance to reach the very top of the fighting stage, and throwing a heavy punch!
Boom!!!
After withstanding this punch, the barrier shook violently several times but remained intact.
The figure slowly stood up:
"Not bad! This barrier is quite something, able to withstand my punch. In that case, I can really let loose in here!"
The newcomer laughed heartily.
Everyone could now clearly see his appearance.
He had a rugged face, long, unruly hair, and wore a tight-fitting vest. His body was incredibly muscular, and he stood at a height of at least 2.3 meters. The character for 'lightning' was written on his right arm.
"The Third Raikage!"
Tsunade of the Ninja World exclaimed as she recognized the figure.
The audience boiled with excitement once more:
"Oh oh oh! It's the father of the Lightning State Governor! The Third Ay!"
"The father of the Lightning State Governor seems even stronger than the current governor. Is he allowed to participate?"
"I don't think there's a rule against it?"
"I've only heard about the Lightning State Governor's family, who has merged the Lightning Breath, Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and the muscle-enhancing Lightning God Embodiment. Now I finally get to witness it first-hand!"
Governor's seat.
Looking at the rugged figure on the fighting stage, the Lightning State Governor, Darui, said helplessly:
"Lightning State Governor, I didn't expect you to invite even this person for this competition."
"Hahaha! It was my old man's idea to participate. He has this personality—he loves to spar with strong opponents, regardless of what I think!"
The Fourth Raikage, Darui, laughed heartily.
Swish!
Minato of the Empire appeared beside the Third Ay and smiled wryly:
"Third Ay, your entrance is quite something."
"Hahahaha... I'm just checking the quality of the barrier, aren't I? Little Minato, send me in."
The Third Ay of the Empire laughed loudly.
Minato smiled wryly and sent him into the barrier.
Finally, the participants from both sides took their positions.
After a brief stare-down, Zhongwu couldn't help but remark with a helpless tone:
"I never expected that Governor Raikage would send such a powerful expert like yourself."
"You brat, stop blabbering and show me what you've got! Let's have a good old-fashioned brawl! I can't wait any longer! Hahaha! Thunder God's Majestic Body!"
The Third Ay exploded with a roar, his arms spreading wide.
Thunderous lightning erupted from his body, and countless lightning snakes coiled around him, forming a visible thunderous armor.
The ground beneath his feet heated up and began to smoke under the influence of this thunderous power.
On the other side, Zhongwu's expression changed, and he took a deep breath. His human appearance started to transform.
His body turned a metallic gray color, and a long trident-like horn sprouted from his head. His arms thickened significantly, his eyes grew several times larger, and his body was covered in countless mesh-like silken lines. His legs elongated and thickened as well, completing his transformation into a monstrous form. He now stood at a height of three meters, having grown from his original height of just under two meters.
"Hahaha! Good! That's the way! Come on!"
The Third Ay roared with excitement.
Without maintaining a safe distance, he lunged forward with a thrust of his leg, creating a deep pit over ten meters in the ground, and charged towards Zhongwu.
Zhongwu's expression turned solemn as he, too, thrust his leg forward, creating a massive crater and rushing towards the Third Ay.
The two collided like a blue and gray beam of light, their fists meeting in a fierce exchange.
The impact of their clash cracked the ground beneath them, sending spider web-like fissures spreading towards the barrier surrounding the arena! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Then they separated, only to collide again and again.
The spectators from the Ninja World could only witness the air exploding and the ground erupting repeatedly.
However, for the people of Konoha, this was no longer surprising, as they had gradually become accustomed to such displays.
It was the Ninja World's Obito who looked on in bewilderment:
"This... Are they... really fighting?"
Without the power of his Mangekyo Sharingan, he couldn't make out what was happening at this level of combat.
"I think... yes..."
Zetsu, standing beside him, replied with a hint of silence in his voice.
"These guys are indeed strong, but... one of them is, after all, the Third Raikage."
Obito suppressed the urge to activate his Sharingan, let alone his Mangekyo Sharingan.
He was afraid that someone might turn around and notice.
And because of this, he failed to grasp the seriousness of the situation.
The Ninja World's Orochimaru watched the match for a while before withdrawing his gaze and commenting:
"Zhongwu's appearance seems to resemble an insect. Did you implant insect genes into him?"
"That's right. He has rhinoceros beetle genes in his body.
Although this particular insect isn't the strongest in the insect world, it is the most suitable for Zhongwu.
In addition, there are also flea genes, water bear genes, and dragonfly genes that guarantee Zhongwu's jumping ability, vitality, and insight.
By combining the genes of various animals, we created the Zhongwu you see before you—the ultimate insect-man of the natural world.
What do you think of my masterpiece?"
Empire Orochimaru proudly explained, clearly proud of his creation.
"A genius idea, and more importantly, the technology to support it.
It's truly remarkable... Empire..."
Ninja World Orochimaru couldn't help but admire. Had he not witnessed the White Snake Immortal's body and the other bloodline fusion bodies, he might have considered acquiring Zhongwu's body for himself.
"What a monstrous creation."
Ninja World Tsunade frowned upon seeing Zhongwu's transformed state.
The Konoha ninjas also looked on with a mix of disgust and fear:
"Oh God... How could a human end up like this... It's terrifying."
"This man has been tortured by Orochimaru beyond recognition..."
"It seems that Orochimaru is truly an evil person, no matter which world he's from."
Hearing these comments, Empire Tsunade, standing nearby, couldn't help but knit her brows:
"Alright, alright, there's no need to make such a fuss.
This level of modification was something Zhongwu voluntarily chose; it wasn't forced upon him by the Empire. So, there's no need to be so shocked."
"What do you mean, voluntary?"
The Konoha ninjas were speechless, their hearts filled with disbelief.
"Of course, in the Empire, martial arts are highly regarded, and everyone wants to contribute their strength to the Empire.
While it's true that Zhongwu is an insect-man, he is also a renowned zoologist who yearns to understand these insects and animals more intimately." Empire Tsunade explained.
Ninja World Tsunade sighed upon hearing this and turned her attention back to the stage.
The battle between the two on the stage continued unabated.
By now, the stage had been reduced to a mess, resembling a giant crater formed by a meteorite impact.
However, at this point, the Third Ay seemed to have the upper hand, continuously pushing Zhongwu back and even knocking him away several times, causing his body to rupture and explode.
Fortunately, Zhongwu's recovery ability was astonishing. After each explosion, he would quickly heal within just one or two breaths, ready to engage the Third Ay again.
"It looks like this battle between the two won't be ending anytime soon." Ninja World Tsunade commented after observing the fight for a while.
"That's because the Third Ay is enjoying the battle.
He hasn't gone all out yet.
Otherwise, the outcome would've been decided by now."
Empire Tsunade explained.
"Oh? He's holding back? He's not using his full strength in a battle of this intensity?"
"That's right. The Third Ay is the Empire's strongest Thunder Messenger, and his Thunder God's Majestic Body has even higher forms. If he were to unleash his full power, Zhongwu wouldn't be able to withstand it for so long. The overwhelming thunder would disrupt the balance of the genes within Zhongwu's body..."
As Empire Tsunade spoke, a voice of dissent rang out from the side:
"Tsunade, you're talking nonsense! The strongest Thunder Messenger is clearly my grandfather! He would never lose to that big idiot!"
And with that, the stage battle came to an end.
