While Obito and the White Snake Sage exchanged taunts, Sasori and Hidan, had already retreated to a safe distance.
The White Snake Sage's body began to levitate, a swirling aura of senjutsu chakra coiling around her.
"Now, allow this old body to show you the true divide between mortals and sages!"
Hearing this, Obito raised his head, exchanging a glance with Madara hovering above.
In that instant, the two understood each other perfectly.
The enemy was clearly preparing to unleash some sort of ultimate technique.
Why give her the chance? Only a fool would stand idle and wait!
Thus, the elder and the younger chose not to play fair. Together, they launched a surprise attack on the White Snake Sage.
"Susanoo: Yasaka Magatama!"
A flurry of eight Yasaka Magatama flew through the air, aiming directly at the levitating White Snake Sage.
Confident in Madara's coordination, Obito pushed his Kamui to full power.
"Kamui"
I'll Twist Your Head Off!
The White Snake Sage paid no attention to their combined assault.
Radiant senjutsu chakra continuously surged from her body, forming a massive dragon skeleton in front of her.
"Clink!"
The formidable Yasaka Magatama vanished the moment they struck the dragon bones, causing no more than faint ripples on the surface.
Even Obito's Kamui couldn't penetrate the barrier formed by the dragon skeleton to affect the White Snake Sage.
"So, her charged technique is strong enough to distort space itself…" Obito's expression grew tense.
When engaging the White Snake Sage up close earlier, he'd tried Kamui's head-twisting attack several times.
But for reasons unknown—whether her body was too massive, too sturdy, or protected by some unknown method—Obito found he couldn't twist her head off!
He hadn't used full power earlier since he needed to keep phasing through attacks. Now, even at max output, the result was the same—no effect.
Frowning, he muttered to himself, "Kamui's offensive capability is useless here. I just hope its defensive side won't be compromised."
Their initial assault having failed, Obito and Madara barely had time to consider a second strike before the White Snake Sage completed her technique.
"Senjutsu: Dragon Transformation!"
The White Snake Sage drew in all the natural energy from Ryuchi Cave, compressing it until it took on tangible form, merging "flesh and blood" with the dragon skeleton.
In an instant, a colossal dragon nearly a thousand meters long loomed before them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The entire cave expanded automatically, creating ample space for the dragon to move freely.
Its whiskers swayed in the wind, and golden eyes full of majesty glared down at the two.
"Prepare to die, you insolent brats!" the White Snake Sage spat venomously.
Without further ado, the dragon lunged at Obito, its claws tearing through the air with a force that shook the battlefield.
Obito's expression darkened.
The closer the massive creature, formed entirely of senjutsu chakra, came to him, the more sluggish the surrounding space became. It was as if the oppressive energy truly interfered with his ability to phase!
Madara's blue Susanoo stood before Obito, dual swords raised to intercept the dragon.
"Boom!"
In a deafening collision, the blue Susanoo was forced back several meters, its swords nearly knocked from its grip.
The dragon shook its massive head, adjusting its posture mid-air, and used its momentum to launch another ferocious attack on Madara.
Taking advantage of this moment, Madara glanced back at Obito, his tone grave.
"Obito, stop daydreaming on the battlefield! Hurry up and assist!"
Obito snapped back to reality.
"On it!"
A green Susano'o erupted into existence, towering beside the blue one.
"Susanoo!"
Gripping its katana's hilt, the green Susanoo stood shoulder to shoulder with its blue counterpart.
As the dragon charged once more, the green Susano'o unsheathed its blade in a single fluid motion.
"Susanoo: Iaido Slash!"
(T/N: The term Iaidō refers to a specific style of kenjutsu that is concerned with the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard, striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard.)
Simultaneously, the blue Susanoo's twin blades struck out.
"Susanoo: Twin-Blade Dance!"
The dragon responded with a mighty swing of its tail and slashed at the pair with its sharp claws.
"Screech!"
A jarring, teeth-clenching sound filled the air as the dragon's claws were severed, leaving two of its talons flying.
However, the Susanoos didn't escape unscathed, deep gashes marred their tengu-like armor.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Both sides poured chakra into their respective forms, rapidly repairing the damage.
From within the dragon, the White Snake Sage's mocking laughter echoed.
"Your power is certainly remarkable.
"However, I can feel your chakra depleting rapidly.
"How will you two fight against someone like me, who has an endless supply of natural energy?"
Obito cursed under his breath.
"Damn it, this is the downside of fighting on foreign turf."
"I can't even enter Sage Mode here, and she's got infinite refills of natural energy."
Realizing a prolonged battle would only lead to their defeat, Obito turned to Madara and said,
"Grandpa, just focus on wounding her. Leave the rest to me!"
Madara snorted but nodded. "I hate to admit it, but this oversized worm is formidable. I might not be able to take her alone."
"Allow your grandfather to create the opportunity!"
Though the situation was dire, Madara showed no frustration, only exhilaration at the challenge.
Handing the reins to his battle-hardened instincts, Obito steeled himself. His green Susanoo raised its katana in a dramatic fashion, its wielder succumbing momentarily to his flair for theatrics.
"Behold! The blood of dragons must end by the sword!"
Madara glanced at Obito, unimpressed.
"Enough monologues. Time to act."
As the dragon lunged for them once again, Madara called out.
"Obito, lend me your strength!"
Obito's heart skipped a beat. Could it be? That technique?
Though the cave's ceiling restricted the Tengai Shinsei's usage, there was still one move that wasn't bound by such limitations!
Obito merged his green Susanoo with Madara's, their chakra systems intertwining.
The blue Susanoo sprouted a second, monstrous face and two additional arms. Its glowing eyes brightened as Madara's Rinnegan activated.
Behind it, a black sphere materialized in its twin hands.
"Chibaku Tensei!"
