Even Obito's blue skeletal Susanoo was unable to withstand such a terrifying attack.
Accompanied by a sharp cracking sound, the bony armor instantly burst apart and vanished into countless fragments.
As for Obito himself, he let out a short, shrill scream before his entire body was swallowed by the violent Wind Release energy.
By the time the raging winds unleashed by the Rasenshuriken finally died down, the battlefield had already turned into a complete wreck.
A massive depression had caved into Obito's chest. Through the horrifying wound, shattered organs and broken bones could clearly be seen inside.
But there was no blood.
Only endless darkness.
"Ghh!"
Obito gasped heavily, a hoarse growl escaping from his throat.
Despite suffering such catastrophic injuries, shockingly, he still hadn't died.
The next moment, a dense dark chakra, so thick it was almost tangible, erupted from Obito's body and quickly wrapped around his battered form.
At the same time, Minato, watching from the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Obito survive.
His figure flashed, instantly appearing a short distance in front of Obito.
And on both sides of Minato's face, Sage Mode markings emerged.
Then, with a low buzzing hum, the familiar and deadly sound of the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken rang out once more.
Like the toll of a funeral bell, it echoed across the battlefield.
Facing Minato holding a Rasenshuriken, Obito truly panicked this time.
He had never expected that right after awakening his other Kamui eye and feeling happy about it, reality would immediately slam him in the face.
At this moment, Minato was in his golden chakra cloak state. Every aspect of his combat ability completely surpassed Obito's. And now that Minato had also activated Sage Mode, the gap between them became even more overwhelming.
Against such a powerful Minato, Obito didn't dare materialize his body at all. He could only watch helplessly as Minato raised the terrifying Rasenshuriken high, his sharp gaze locked firmly onto him.
The Nine-Tails chakra and senjutsu energy radiating from Minato intertwined together, forming a suffocating pressure that made Obito's heart pound uncontrollably.
Just moments ago, a single Rasenshuriken from Minato had already exhausted the remaining dark chakra left by the Zero-Tails inside Obito.
If he took another hit like that, there was no question, he would be shredded into nothing.
And right now, Obito had only just reawakened his Kamui eye. He still wasn't familiar enough with his newly gained abilities, leaving him struggling badly against Minato.
Seeing the situation turn grim, Obito immediately decided to retreat.
He swiftly summoned his blue Susanoo again, using it as a shield against Minato's attack.
Minato casually flicked his hand, and the Rasenshuriken infused with senjutsu and Wind Release shot out like lightning.
In an instant—
BOOM!
The Susanoo Obito had deployed outside his body shattered as easily as paper under the Rasenshuriken's impact.
Immediately afterward, the Rasenshuriken's violent power transformed into a raging hurricane that swept wildly in every direction.
The place where Obito had been standing exploded into a bottomless crater, while the surrounding earth trembled violently from the impact.
Yet despite the overwhelming spectacle, Obito still ultimately escaped Minato's pursuit by retreating into the Kamui dimension.
A trace of seriousness appeared in Minato's eyes, because after obtaining dual Kamui, Obito's speed entering the Kamui space had increased dramatically.
The instant Minato broke through the Susanoo, Obito had vanished like a ghost without a trace.
One had to remember, this Obito had only just awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Once he became more proficient with this power, he would undoubtedly become far more troublesome in the future.
Rengoku, meanwhile, had no idea Obito's strength had skyrocketed so drastically.
He had assumed that sending Minato, the fastest shinobi in the entire ninja world, to handle the mission would guarantee success and ensure Obito's death.
And in truth, that should have been the case. If not for the Zero-Tails inside Obito's body, he would already have died twice over.
Watching Obito escape right before his eyes, Minato couldn't help frowning slightly.
But he quickly adjusted his mindset and immediately used Flying Thunder God to head toward the Barrier Division.
To report everything to Rengoku in detail.
———
[Barrier Division]
The moment Minato started fighting Obito, he had directly tossed Kakashi and Rin over here.
The Flying Thunder God was simply too fast.
So fast that when they arrived, Kakashi and Rin were still stuck in their intimate position, kissing while Kakashi's hand was on her chest.
Karin was the first to notice. She instinctively covered her mouth with both hands, unable to stop herself from quietly giggling.
Rengoku merely raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile hanging at the corner of his lips, clearly finding the scene rather amusing.
As for Yamanaka Inoichi beside them, he wore an utterly awkward expression, halfway between laughter and exasperation.
Realizing the environment around him had suddenly changed, Kakashi froze for a second before his entire face turned red. Flustered, he hurriedly tried to stand up.
But because their previous position had been too awkward, in his panic, he accidentally pressed his hand hard against Nohara Rin's chest.
Under normal circumstances, the scene might have carried a somewhat romantic atmosphere.
But right now, there was none of that.
Not long ago, Rin's chest had been brutally pierced through during battle. Although the wound had already begun slowly closing, the pain was still intense.
Kakashi's weight pressing down on her only made her already fragile condition even worse.
Rin let out a pained muffled groan. A layer of cold sweat instantly formed on her forehead, and her face became even paler.
Kakashi was horrified at the sight. He hurriedly pulled his hand back and asked anxiously, "Rin, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
As he spoke, he quickly leaned closer to inspect her injuries, his eyes filled with concern.
In truth, before this, Rin had been acting together with Kakashi the whole time, even nearly managing to make Kakashi confess his true feelings.
But Obito's arrival had interrupted everything.
Now, though, the situation had finally reached the point where things could be wrapped up.
