(Obitos Susano)
"Eight Trigrams: Vacuum Palm!"
The moment Kakashi stopped attacking, Hinata struck at Obito with a powerful Gentle Fist technique. A compressed shockwave tore through the air and rushed toward him instantly.
"Oh?"
Obito was slightly surprised by Hinata's sudden attack. His Mangekyō Sharingan spun as he activated Kamui, allowing the shockwave to pass harmlessly through his body.
Suddenly—
Boom!
Deidara, who had been watching from the sidelines, was kicked violently to the ground.
A white blur flashed past, and Kimimaro landed heavily on top of him.
"Cough… bastard!" Deidara coughed blood and struggled furiously beneath Kimimaro's foot.
"Kimimaro?"
Kakashi, Might Guy, and Hinata were all shocked by his sudden appearance.
Kimimaro ignored Deidara completely and stared coldly at Obito.
Without hesitation, bone spikes erupted from beneath his foot and pierced directly through Deidara's chest.
Deidara died instantly.
Obito's expression darkened. Even he had not expected Kimimaro to kill Deidara so decisively.
"So the wielder of the Dead Bone Pulse has reached this level…"
"Dance of the Larch!"
Kimimaro immediately drew a bone sword from his shoulder and charged toward Obito.
The white blade slashed repeatedly through Obito's body, but every strike passed harmlessly through him due to Kamui.
Obito's eye narrowed coldly.
"I'll eliminate you first, survivor of the Kaguya Clan."
At that moment, Kakashi and Might Guy attacked simultaneously.
Guy's powerful kick swept toward Obito's head while Kakashi thrust forward with a lightning-coated kunai.
"Dance of the Clematis!"
Kimimaro's spine transformed into a drill-like bone spear as he launched another attack from the front.
Facing attacks from all three directions, Obito immediately phased through them again.
Crack!
Kakashi's Lightning Blade collided with Kimimaro's hardened bones, sending sparks flying.
The battle intensified instantly.
Kimimaro continued attacking relentlessly while Kakashi and Guy pressured Obito from both sides. Even with Kamui, Obito was forced completely onto the defensive.
Realizing the danger, Obito finally abandoned his intangible state.
His Mangekyō Sharingan spun rapidly.
"Susanoo!"
Dark blue chakra erupted around him. Giant skeletal ribs formed first, followed by enormous chakra arms that shielded his body.
At the same time, Hinata activated her Byakugan and struck again.
"Eight Trigrams: Vacuum Palm!"
The compressed chakra blast slammed into the incomplete Susanoo.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Kimimaro's bone spear, Guy's taijutsu, Kakashi's Lightning Blade, and Hinata's Gentle Fist techniques bombarded the dark blue chakra armor continuously.
Soon, cracks began spreading across the skeletal chakra defense.
Obito's expression changed slightly as he retreated backward.
Kimimaro looked up at the giant chakra skeleton with intense battle intent burning in his eyes.
"So this is the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan…"
Kakashi's expression also became grave as he stared at the spinning Mangekyō pattern in Obito's eye.
"Who are you?"
Obito ignored the question completely.
The cracked chakra skeleton rapidly regenerated. Then the enormous ribs expanded further as chakra condensed around the giant frame.
Muscles, armor, and chakra veins formed around the skeleton in an instant.
A towering blue armored warrior appeared before everyone.
Although incomplete, the massive Susanoo radiated terrifying pressure far beyond that of ordinary summoned beasts.
Obito felt a sharp pain in his eyes but remained expressionless.
Compared to the suffering he had already endured, this pain meant nothing.
