And at this moment,
Obito beside him suddenly looked towards the Kitsune Ogre beside him, seeming to hint by coughing, then reminded:
"Cough, Kitsune..."
"This guy is the enemy I told you about before."
"The most troublesome existence in the Akatsuki..."
"The Ever-Burning Dojutsu User—"
"Kyo."
Obito spoke in his usual deep tone.
Although he didn't say it explicitly,
His purpose was naturally to urge the Kitsune Ogre to make a move.
After all,
A long time ago, Obito had looked forward to this interesting scene --
A battle between two guys who were both ridiculously strong.
But back then, he was still the behind-the-scenes leader of Akatsuki, naturally standing on Kyo's side, wanting to defeat the Kitsune Ogre.
Unexpectedly, now the roles were exactly reversed.
Seeing that both sides were now present,
And since Kyo opposite had already drawn his blade, if Kitsune Ogre didn't make a move, it would be a bit inexcusable...
Obito's gaze flickered slightly, full of expectation.
And at this moment,
Upon hearing his words, the Kitsune Ogre Kyo chuckled lightly beneath his mask.
Heh...
You, Obito, just want to kill with a borrowed knife, right?
But, sorry.
The director this time,
Is me!
The moment his thoughts fell,
Kitsune Ogre Kyo instantly lifted his foot and took a step.
Whoosh!
His figure suddenly disappeared from the spot,
Then, surprisingly, he came back to Obito's side.
He turned his head, glanced at him through the Kitsune Ogre mask, and then, almost without hesitation, without any unnecessary words,
In an instant, he raised the pure-white blade in his hand.
Boom!!!!
A terrifying oppressive force like a wild beast erupted, and at the same time, pure-white Sword Pressure instantly condensed at the tip of the blade, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment, ready to burst!!
As the oppressive force increased, this moon-white Sword Pressure gradually became even more immense and terrifying!!
It even seemed to cause the surrounding space to continuously tremble!!
And the next moment,
Without another word, he instantly swung his blade swiftly towards Kyo's direction!!!
Getsuga · Serious Tensho!
Whoosh!!
The moment the blade light flashed, the moon-white Sword Pressure instantly surged forth, like an overturned ocean, engulfing everything blotting out the sky and covering the earth!!!
All the enormous rocks and rubble in its path were instantly annihilated into dust!!
"!!!"
Seeing this terrifying scene,
In an instant, Deva Path and Konan beside Kyo suddenly changed their expressions drastically, instantly looking grim!
What?!
This... his ultimate move is coming again?!!
No, no way!
We have to make Kyo dodge!!
This guy's Sword Pressure is not something that can be casually blocked!!!
Thinking this,
Konan instantly gritted her teeth and tried to speak to warn:
"Kyo..."
However, her words were only halfway out when she saw Kyo ahead simply raise his right hand and quickly say:
"Bakudo #81: Danku!"
Boom!!!!
The moment the words fell, suddenly,
Around Kyo, blue spiritual pressure instantly surged forth, fiercely expanding, actually faintly overshadowing the momentum of the Kitsune Ogre opposite!
At the same time, an enormous aqua-blue barrier instantly appeared in front of Kyo and the other two, like a heavenly curtain, directly blocking the path of the Getsuga Tensho ahead!
And at that very moment—
That terrifying moon-white Sword Pressure directly slammed into the barrier!
Boom!!!!!!
A deafening explosion instantly erupted!!
At the same time, all the moon-white attacks were completely blocked outside the barrier, actually... none could pass through!!
This seemingly fragile transparent barrier, at this moment, seemed to become an even more formidable defensive iron wall than the Quintuple Rashomon!!
Winds howled around, shockwaves constantly exploded!!
However, Danku's heavenly curtain remained unchanged!!
Until the end,
When all the moon-white Sword Pressure had completely dissipated, this heavenly curtain finally showed a few spreading cracks.
The next moment,
Bang!
The Sword Pressure dissipated, the heavenly curtain shattered.
The entire world seemed to consist only of the roaring wind and the powerful impact force constantly spreading outwards!
Even Konan, Pain, and Obito were somewhat unsteady in the face of this suddenly spreading impact!
At this moment, all three's pupils constricted tightly, stunned on the spot!
"!!!"
What... is going on?!
The flying slash attack and the barrier... shattered simultaneously!?!
This is... a draw?!!
Seeing this, in an instant, all three widened their eyes, looking at Kyo in disbelief.
Their hearts were left with only unimaginable horror!!
The Kitsune Ogre's attack, enough to destroy the Chibaku Tensei, was... countered by Kyo's simple, seal-less barrier Ninjutsu!?!!
And looking at his expression, he was still so relaxed!?!
Could it be,
His strength fundamentally isn't inferior to that Kitsune Ogre?!!
Realizing this,
Obito's expression froze on the spot!
And even Nagato and Konan, standing on Kyo's side, were completely dumbfounded upon realizing this!
What the hell...
Kyo was actually... this strong?!!!
The two looked at each other.
They saw only deep shock in each other's eyes!
In the past,
They only knew Kyo was very strong.
Perhaps, possibly a little stronger than Nagato.
However,
After watching this simple exchange between him and the Kitsune Ogre just now...
They were instantly dumbfounded.
This is a little stronger???
At this moment,
As they looked at Kyo's back, only unimaginable horror remained.
And far away on the other side,
Obito, while thinking about this ridiculous scene just now, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Because he suddenly recalled another past event.
It was several years ago.
Back then,
In Kikyo Castle in the Land of Fire.
The Kitsune Ogre used the Sharingan as bait to provoke bounty hunters throughout the Shinobi World.
And at that time,
In order to incite Kyo to make a move and help him reclaim the Sharingan,
He had once, as the trainee Tobi, asked Kyo about the strength comparison between the two of them.
"Kyo-senpai, you should have watched a lot of that Kitsune Ogre guy's battle just now, right?"
"What do you think? Can you beat him?"
The reason he asked this was naturally to have some idea in his heart.
After all, in case Kyo, like Itachi back then, was defeated by the Kitsune Ogre in a few exchanges, it would be a wasted effort.
However,
Upon hearing Obito's question, Kyo at the time just slightly raised an eyebrow and chuckled:
"Fifty-fifty, I'd say."
"I often solo kill opponents of this strength too."
Back then,
Hearing this,
Obito only thought Kyo was showing off.
After all, throughout the entire Kikyo Castle war, he hadn't made a single move from beginning to end.
While the Kitsune Ogre had displayed extremely powerful, crushing strength.
Until today,
Until just that moment,
Obito slowly began to understand...
Could it be,
Back then...
Kyo hadn't lied at all...?!
Realizing this,
Uchiha Obito was instantly stunned.
His mind went blank.
