Crackle!
Susanoo plunged low through the raging sands, Kamui Raikiri blazing in its grasp as it carved a path forward through the chaotic desert storm.
Before the power of Kamui, any physical defense was nothing more than paper.
The black lightning spear pointed straight toward the tiny white figure standing in the desert.
Urashiki's expression changed instantly.
"Damn it…! That bastard actually doesn't care if he kills me and ruins his own plan!?"
Obito's Mangekyō glowed sharply.
"Akira specifically told me—if things get too troublesome, then forget about it."
"Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged Ōtsutsuki are everywhere."
"The next 'whatever-shiki' might be even better."
"So Urashiki… I won't deliberately twist your head off."
"But I also won't avoid your vitals when using large-scale attacks."
"Whatever happens… happens."
The black Raikiri closed within one hundred meters overhead, still showing no sign of slowing down.
For Obito's Perfect Susanoo, a hundred meters was less than half a body length. The lightning blade could descend upon Urashiki in the blink of an eye.
Urashiki clenched his teeth and slammed his palm downward.
Behind him, the flowing sands surged violently, forming a massive hollow sand barrier nearly half the size of a Perfect Susanoo.
Crack!
It was completely useless.
The black lightning pierced first, followed instantly by the cyan blade breaking through the wall. A storm vortex erupted, dragging the entire sand barrier and the surrounding dunes into the distortion.
The attack smashed through and advanced to within fifty meters.
"He really intends to kill me!"
Boom!
Urashiki formed a sand hand beneath himself and flung his body backward, widening the distance from the black lightning. At the same time he pulled a purple chakra flame from the crimson gourd at his waist and crushed it in his palm.
It was the chakra he had stolen from Sasuke.
Urashiki's Rinnegan glowed crimson.
"Then how about this!?"
— Ama no Sumika: Perfect Susanoo!
A column of violet light shot into the sky.
In an instant, a massive purple tengu warrior formed around him.
Even Obito couldn't hide his surprise.
"He can even use Susanoo… His fishing technique really has that high of a ceiling!?"
Urashiki sneered.
"That's nothing. As long as it's below the Rinnegan level, Ama no Sumika can amplify it beyond its limits!"
Using Sasuke's chakra, Urashiki's Susanoo formed a massive purple blade. He gripped it with both hands and lunged forward.
"Amplified or not—before Kamui, it's meaningless!"
Obito's Perfect Susanoo charged head-on with Kamui Raikiri.
Crack!
The moment lightning struck the sword tip, black arcs crawled across the blade like vines, spreading across the entire weapon and threatening to climb onto the Susanoo's hand itself.
Urashiki immediately abandoned the sword and retreated.
The Kamui power fully erupted from the lightning, twisting the captured blade into a spiral before collapsing it into a black singularity and sending it straight into the void.
The Kamui Raikiri attack ended there.
Obito stared coldly at the hovering purple giant.
His blue Susanoo crossed its arms.
The tomoe within his Mangekyō multiplied thousands of times, forming dark silhouettes in his palms.
— Kamui Shuriken Array!
Dozens of Kamui shuriken—far more than Kakashi had once used—spun through the air in unpredictable arcs toward Urashiki's Susanoo.
— Akagaru!
Urashiki's expression changed sharply.
His eyes shifted to the blue Rinnegan as he activated the ability to rewind time and repeatedly simulate the opponent's moves to calculate the optimal response.
His Susanoo drew its bow.
Three arrows fired in rapid succession.
Each arrow struck a Kamui shuriken directly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Twenty massive Kamui vortices exploded between the two giants, twisting the desert sky into chaos.
Obito narrowed his eyes.
"So he switched to the blue Rinnegan and used that time-rewind calculation ability to read every Kamui trajectory… then intercepted them with rapid-fire Kagutsuchi arrows."
Boom!
A reinforced arrow shot forward and pierced Susanoo's forehead.
Crack!
The blue armor shattered as the black-flamed arrow passed straight through Obito and Kaze before bursting out the back.
Obito sighed internally.
"Now that Urashiki has enough raw power… that ridiculous ability of his finally shows its true value."
"He's nothing like the version we surrounded and hunted in the past."
Two and a half minutes had passed.
The desert heat had already drained more than half of Kaze's stamina.
"Uncle Obito! Let me enter the battle!"
Obito looked at him seriously.
"After seeing Urashiki's strength… are you truly confident?"
"Yes."
Kaze's voice was unwavering.
"As long as I can get close to him… I can hurt him."
Those eyes…
No wonder Akira trusted this kid.
"Alright."
"Then let your uncle give you the opening himself."
As the burning arrow withdrew from Susanoo's forehead, Obito dismissed the giant entirely. His hand pressed onto Kaze's shoulder as Kamui pulled them both into the vortex.
They reappeared above Urashiki's Susanoo.
Boom!
At the moment they emerged, Susanoo energy flared again around Obito, forming a giant skeletal hand.
It grabbed Kaze and hurled him straight toward the purple Susanoo's forehead.
"Go!"
Urashiki frowned.
"What kind of trick is this?"
Then he laughed.
"You're sending him to his death!"
The crimson fishing rod snapped forward.
The main hook shot out, dragging the long red line through the Susanoo's forehead toward Kaze's chest.
You have no foothold in midair. Let's see how you dodge this hook.
But at the instant the hook was about to strike—
Kaze's right eye flashed crimson beneath his bangs.
— Amaterakishi!
A layer of golden shadowy light spread across his body.
Clang!
The hook struck the barrier and was violently deflected away, line and all.
Urashiki's eyes widened.
"Impossible… the main hook was repelled!?"
Under Amaterakishi, Kaze had entered an invincible state.
No damage could affect him.
Nothing could block his path.
Anything touching him would be instantly repelled—or destroyed at the point of contact.
Using Wind Release to accelerate midair, Kaze slammed into the Susanoo's forehead like a living battering ram.
Crack!
The armor began to fracture.
Without slowing, he burst through it.
Urashiki's expression darkened as black Amaterasu flames formed a Kagutsuchi barrier.
It meant nothing.
Amaterakishi's invincibility was absolute.
Even distorted space could not stop him.
Under Amaterakishi, the entire world had to move aside.
Boom!
He shattered through the black flames and appeared directly in front of Urashiki.
Exactly half a second.
The golden aura vanished.
Amaterakishi entered cooldown—one second before it could be used again.
Lightning crackled across Kaze's left hand.
— Lightning Release: Shock Oscillation Blade!
Urashiki's Akagaru activated.
In that brief moment, he simulated Kaze's attack dozens of times.
Inside this cramped Susanoo cockpit there was nowhere to dodge. The optimal result he saw was sacrificing his right arm.
The cost was high enough that he briefly considered using his teleportation technique.
But he suppressed the thought immediately.
Calm down.
Uchiha Obito is the real threat.
That escape technique must be reserved for his killing moves.
This kid's defensive ability—I've already analyzed it.
Powerful, but with a one-second gap afterward.
Easy to counter once understood.
He raised his right arm—the one closest to Kaze's blade—ready to sacrifice it.
But he didn't see the calculation hidden in Kaze's calm eyes.
Urashiki.
Your blue Rinnegan calculates based on active techniques.
Techniques not yet activated are not included.
Even if they are added instantly, your mind still needs a fraction of time to react.
You don't have the reflexes of the legendary Yellow Flash.
So the technique I trigger at the moment of impact—
cannot be predicted.
The moment you decided to accept my attack instead of escaping…
you sealed your own fate.
You will lose your right hand.
And your precious fishing rod.
"Feel this," Kaze thought.
"The power defined by my uncle."
Slash!
As the Shock Oscillation Blade cut across Urashiki's wrist—
Kaze's left eye ignited with killing intent.
— Ayakashi.
