At some unknown time,
The spreading storm finally began to gradually disappear.
Amegakure once again fell into silence.
But this time,
The silence was strangely eerie.
After a long moment, Obito stiffly turned his head and once again looked towards Kyo over there.
In his gaze, there still lingered a hint of disbelief.
This guy Kyo...
Was that defensive barrier of his just now also a Dojutsu...?
Was it released without hand seals by relying on his Kekkei Genkai, the "True Eye of the King"...
But why...
What exactly is this strange feeling...?
Obito's expression was tense, looking very grim.
And in his heart,
It naturally began to tighten sharply.
There was no doubt,
The result of their exchange of moves just now had completely disrupted his psychological expectations.
Originally, in his expectation,
When the Kitsune Ogre's slash came, Kyo should have been unable to block it, or he should have chosen to dodge.
But,
He never imagined,
This guy not only didn't dodge at all, but instead fucking easily parried it.
And he also happened to completely neutralize all the residual energy of the slash...
Simply... terrifying.
It seemed,
The outcome of this battle had become uncertain again...
"..."
Obito slowly exhaled a long breath beneath his mask.
He tried to calm himself down quickly.
However,
At this moment,
Suddenly, another sudden change occurred!
The Kitsune Ogre ahead suddenly erupted with flames like moonlight!
The next moment,
He stepped forward, leaped, and shot out!!
His entire body, like a pale meteor, gripping the sword in his hand, slashed directly towards Kyo ahead!!
That terrifying speed even directly swept up boundless gale-force winds, interrupting the black rain!!
Boom!!
Along his path,
The ground beneath his feet was directly shaken into a deep crack by the emanating pressure from the tip of his sword!!
"---!!!"
Seeing this sudden scene,
At this moment,
Obito, Nagato, and Konan were all naturally shocked, suddenly stunned!
...?!
The Kitsune Ogre actually... initiated a close-range attack?!!
And...
What is with this powerful aggression like a wild beast, and this oppressive force capable of destroying one's nerves...?!!!
Was he just starting to get serious from now on...?
Realizing this,
Obito naturally felt a sudden surge of joy in his heart!
It's a completely different aura!
Could it be that all of the Kitsune Ogre's previous attacks were just holding back?!
Even when facing the Fourth Raikage back then, he hadn't shown such a serious attitude!!
It seemed... there was a chance!
Just as Obito was overjoyed, Nagato and Konan on this side also instantly gritted their teeth, their hearts grim.
Judging from the killing intent of the opponent charging over, a fierce battle seemed inevitable...
They wondered if Kyo could hold on...
Boom!!!!!
And just as they were thinking,
Suddenly,
Another explosive loud sound rang out!!
A scene that made their hair stand on end appeared!
On this side,
Kyo also took a step, raised the blade in his hand, and charged out!!!
Facing the Kitsune Ogre charging over like a meteor, he did not choose to dodge or hesitate... but directly engaged head-on!!
"???!!!"
Seeing this highly impactful scene,
Everyone present was once again shaken, completely stunned!
Each one widened their eyes, staring intently ahead, afraid of missing any detail!
And at this moment—
The black and white figures finally clashed blades!
Boom!!!!!!!!!
The moment the Kitsune Ogre's white sword made contact with Kyo's silver blade, countless Spiritual Pressure Storms burst forth in an instant!!!
Golden lightning, white flames, black torrents, blue storms!!
Everything seemed to be ignited at this moment!!
However,
Before everyone present could react,
The Kitsune Ogre in the air instantly used a Shunpo, directly disappearing from the spot, and the next moment, suddenly appeared behind Kyo!
Then, as before, upon his white blade, moon-white flames ignited once more!!
"Getsuga Tensho!"
Boom!!!!!!!
The incredibly terrifying flames surged like an ocean, instantly engulfing Kyo's figure within them!!!
"?!!"
This sudden, astonishing turn of events directly stunned everyone present!
What's going on?!
What is with this speed...?!!
Why so fast!?!
Fast to the point where even Kyo couldn't react?!!
However,
Before they could think further,
From within the surging white flames, a calm voice emerged:
"Hado #78: Zangerin!!"
The moment the words fell,
Suddenly,
A clear sword cry instantly tore through everything around!!
Whoosh!!!
Like the sharpest blade being drawn from its sheath!
At the same time, a blue circular slash suddenly emerged from the pale flames, in an instant dispersing all the surrounding flames and directly slamming into the Kitsune Ogre opposite!!
Thud!!!!!
The Kitsune Ogre, as if caught off guard, was instantly blasted away by this blue circular slash!!
The power of the slash continued to increase, forcefully pushing the Kitsune Ogre's body, slamming him fiercely into a distant hill!!
Bang!!!!
A deafening collision sound came,
The entire hill suddenly began to show crack after crack, the next moment—
Bang!!!!!!!
It directly collapsed!!
This small hill, which had stood beside Amegakure, instantly collapsed into countless rubble and sky-filling dust!
"!!!?"
After seeing this,
Obito, Konan, and Nagato around them were completely horrified!
This!?!
Kyo not only took the Getsuga Tensho with his body but... also directly blasted the Kitsune Ogre away with one slash?!!!
Gasp...!!
The three looked at Kyo with only boundless shock in their eyes!!
This was a scene they had never imagined!!
You have to understand,
Before Kyo appeared,
The hardness of the Kitsune Ogre's body was there for all to see!!
Not only did he completely ignore Asura Path's attack and Konan's explosive tags, but he also directly tanked Deva Path's Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei!
This exaggerated performance was enough to prove how terrifying his defense was!
However,
After Kyo's attack named "Zangerin" appeared, he was... actually blasted away?!!?
The three instantly constricted their pupils and looked towards the distant hill, trying to find traces of the Kitsune Ogre.
And at this moment,
A white light tearing through the sky's curtain suddenly appeared!
It was the Kitsune Ogre!
His white robe seemed to have a slight tear, but his body was still completely unharmed!
As before, he once again transformed into a pale meteor, charging at Kyo with terrifying speed!!
And similarly, Kyo on this side did not hesitate, calmly charging towards him again!!
And at this moment,
The three below noticed,
On the back of Kyo's red-cloud black robe, just like the Kitsune Ogre's white robe, there was also a trace left by a slash...
Seeing this, the several people couldn't help but gasp.
At close range, Kitsune Ogre directly took Kyo's Zangerin.
In the end,
He only had a slight tear in his clothes,
And just now.
At such close range, Kyo directly took a full Getsuga Tensho from the Kitsune Ogre.
In the end,
He only had a slight tear in his clothes, with no extra injuries whatsoever...?
This kind of ridiculous defensive power,
Was almost comparable to that Kitsune Ogre over there...
So, Kyo's strength had actually... reached this level...???
The three's gazes were all fixed on the sky in disbelief.
There was no doubt,
This battle,
Was constantly redefining their understanding of Kyo's strength...
