After the Spiritual Pressure flow of Goryutenmetsu continued for a long time,
All the phenomena finally began to gradually disappear.
However,
The moment they completely disappeared,
Nagato and Konan couldn't help but simultaneously constrict their pupils, freezing.
"!?"
Huh?!
Wait!
What's going on?!
Uchiha Obito... is gone???!
The two were stunned.
Where Obito had just stood, there was now nothing at all...
Just a void of rubble!
No corpse,
Not even a remnant!
...
Could it be,
He, like that Ayon, had been blasted away by Kyo's Goryutenmetsu...???
No, no way...
That brutal?
The two gasped.
Then,
Konan turned to Kyo in shock and asked cautiously:
"Is Uchiha Obito... dead...?"
The reason she asked was naturally to confirm.
However,
Hearing this,
Kyo turned around,
Suddenly, his face showed a grim expression, and then he slowly shook his head, saying:
"He was taken away by the Kitsune Ogre."
"!?"
At the words, Nagato and Konan were again shocked!
Taken away by the Kitsune Ogre!?
What's going on?!
That Kitsune Ogre, who had just been blasted away... actually returned to Uchiha Obito's side and took him away...?
Nagato and Konan subconsciously found it somewhat incredible.
However,
Upon closer thought, they suddenly remembered.
After all,
In the Kikyo Castle incident, that Kitsune Ogre had demonstrated his Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Wanting to directly take Obito away in such a chaotic situation didn't seem too difficult...
But,
Come to think of it...
Kyo's trump card's power was a bit too terrifying, wasn't it...
Konan and Deva Path exchanged glances,
Both saw in each other's eyes a shock that had not yet subsided.
From today on,
Kyo
Might become a legend of Amegakure.
…
At this moment,
Unknown to Nagato and the others.
Within the Kamui Dimension
At this moment,
Two figures were inside it.
The one standing on the left was naturally the Hollowfied Kyo, though at this moment, his clothes showed signs of "battle damage".
And on the right, Obito's condition was even worse.
At this moment, his mask was completely shattered, his body covered in various shocking wounds.
He looked like he was on the verge of death.
And at this moment,
He looked at the Kitsune Ogre ahead with a strange expression, his gaze complicated.
To be honest,
Before this, he had never imagined,
This always aloof and arrogant Kitsune Ogre would suddenly reach out to save him.
Obito was very clear,
In that strange situation,
His soul was like being gripped by the throat of death, already on the verge of collapse...
If not for the Kitsune Ogre suddenly appearing to neutralize it, he absolutely wouldn't have had the chance to escape using Kamui...
That is to say,
This time,
It was completely the Kitsune Ogre pulling him back from the brink of death.
Naturally, this made Obito feel somewhat strange in his heart.
After all,
The last person to save him from death,
Was over ten years ago,
That white-haired old man struggling to survive in the cave, the legendary Shinobi, Uchiha Madara...
Obito was silent for a long moment,
Then slowly lowered his gaze, and after that, lightly exhaled a breath.
"..."
He exhaled this breath extremely slowly.
As if it had been pent up in his chest for a very long time.
And because of this,
His heart also began to feel helpless, deciding to temporarily set aside the confusion and doubts in his heart.
After all,
No matter what,
This time, he was ultimately saved by the Kitsune Ogre.
No matter what the other party's purpose was, the fact had already been established.
Rather than spending extra energy on vigilance and suspicion,
It would be better to quickly figure out how to make up for the deviation and mistakes in the Eye of the Moon Plan...
Because now, the time left for him was already running out.
Akatsuki had already begun collecting the Tailed Beasts.
Back then,
When Obito was manipulating Nagato,
He naturally didn't mention the so-called "Infinite Tsukuyomi" and the Eye of the Moon Plan.
He only talked about using the absolute power of the Tailed Beasts as weapons to intimidate the Five Great Nations militarily, thus achieving peace.
And Nagato had always believed in this plan to this day...
Even though Obito was kicked out of the Akatsuki, this plan didn't seem to have changed.
But,
The trouble was,
To complete the Eye of the Moon Plan, it wasn't enough to just collect the Tailed Beasts; another element was also necessary.
That was Nagato's Rinnegan.
No…
To be precise,
It was Madara's Rinnegan.
Those eyes, known as the "Sage's Eyes", were the ultimate in Dojutsu, and also the key to the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Once, the elderly Uchiha Madara realized his time was short and could no longer implement the Eye of the Moon Plan. So, he secretly transplanted them into Nagato's body.
But Nagato naturally didn't know this secret.
Later, during the Second Shinobi World War,
Nagato awakened the eyes.
And according to Madara's original plan, Obito was to guide Nagato, ultimately luring him into using the legendary "Rinne Tensei Technique".
Thus, at the cost of his life, reviving Madara at his peak.
Then, letting him take back the Rinnegan and, with his peak strength, complete the manipulation of the Nine Tailed Beasts and the entire Shinobi World, thereby realizing the Eye of the Moon Plan. This plan was, of course, very perfect.
That's why Obito had been tirelessly implementing it for so many years.
But this series of plans,
Just a few days ago, after Kyo led Orochimaru to expose Obito to the Akatsuki, they completely declared failure...
Obito was very clear in his heart,
From then on,
Nagato couldn't possibly trust him anymore,
Let alone use his own life to revive Madara.
This still meant,
The Rinne Tensei Plan was basically broken.
And now, the plan to forcibly seize the Rinnegan had failed again. Wanting to directly revive the real peak Madara was completely a dream.
This way...
It seemed we could only pin our hopes on that Edo Tensei...
Obito's gaze flickered slightly.
Compared to Nagato with the Rinnegan and Kyo with the golden eyes,
Orochimaru was still easier to deal with...
Sure enough,
This time, I was a bit rash.
Obito felt the dull pain coming from his body, a faint gloom appearing in his eye, his expression grim.
He never imagined,
That bastard Kyo would actually be this ridiculously strong...!
Even that always invincible Kitsune Ogre of Las Noches was forced by him to use his trump card, and still didn't gain any advantage...
With strength like this,
Why was he still in the Akatsuki?!
Living life as an experience??
And,
What was up with the Kitsune Ogre...?
Just now, he clearly had the power to neutralize Kyo's Goryutenmetsu, yet he still chose to take me and escape...?
Obito's gaze flickered slightly, his heart sinking slightly.
Then, while enduring the pain from his body, he slowly looked up again at Kitsune Ogre ahead.
Now,
There was one question he wanted to clarify —
That was the difference in strength between the Kitsune Ogre and Kyo.
And in fact, this question first arose just when the Kitsune Ogre appeared beside him and helped him neutralize Kyo's oppressive force.
The reason he hadn't thought about it before,
Was because he felt the Kitsune Ogre's strength was solidly above Kyo's, so there was no need to investigate.
But now he realized...
Solidly my ass!
Kyo was a sly old dog!
His hidden strength was like the iceberg beneath the surface, so deep it was difficult to fathom!
Even after witnessing the battle just now, Obito couldn't come to a clear conclusion.
Judging by their respective battle records,
The Kitsune Ogre had easily defeated Itachi, Kakashi, Guy, and A, and just now, he had also crushed the Six Paths of Pain with the Rinnegan.
What was terrifying was,
In every battle, he had almost never suffered any injuries, completely one-sidedly crushing his opponents.
Whether it was Itachi, skilled in Genjutsu, or A with explosive attack power, they almost never had a chance to fight back before being taken down.
This kind of powerful battle record was undeniably dazzling, and basically completely solidified his strength.
However,
Although Kyo's fame in the Shinobi World wasn't as great as the Kitsune Ogre's,
His battle records were equally terrifying.
Before joining Akatsuki, he had easily defeated the S-Rank Missing-nin, Sasori of the Red Sand. After joining Akatsuki, he had calmly and casually defeated Kakuzu, Orochimaru, and a series of other Akatsuki's members, and finally, single-handedly intimidated the entire Sunagakure, defeating the Fourth Kazekage and Shukaku easily.
Objectively speaking,
This kind of battle record was basically no less than the Kitsune Ogre's,
The strength of the two should have been evenly matched...
But,
In that battle just now.
The Kitsune Ogre's ultimate trump card, the "Ayon",
Was blocked by Kyo opposite with one palm, and then easily killed by the powerful technique named "Goryutenmetsu"...
Even the Kitsune Ogre himself was blasted away by Goryutenmetsu.
In the end,
It could be basically concluded that Kyo > Kitsune Ogre.
Such a contrast,
Naturally made Obito unable to understand in his heart.
