The masked man who appeared from the unknown black vortext stands in front of the Kumogakure ninjas.
"Just now… what was that?" Mabui asks.
"That was a space-time ninjutsu. Does Akatsuki have someone like that?" Darui responds.
"Strange night, black vortex… coming out from the masked man… a mask hiding cold eyes… a breeze blowing in the forest… Eight-Tails Killer Bee, ready for a super challenge… Showtime~~…" Killer Bee dances and raps, showing no sign of concern for danger.
Darui, thinking carefully: The boss just left, and now Akatsuki shows up immediately. Could this attack on the village be a diversion? This is really dangerous…
He makes a quick decision: "Protect Killer Bee!"
"Yes!" The Kumogakure Anbu members quickly form a defensive formation around Killer Bee.
Obito's Sharingan spins behind the mask: "Darui, Kumogakure's elite jounin, Raikage's right-hand man, and the leading candidate to become the next Raikage…"
Darui stays alert: "I'm just ahead of my peers. I've heard that Akatsuki operates in pairs. Is that okay? Our boss is back in the village, and your comrades causing chaos in Kumogakure are probably in serious trouble…"
"?" Obito looks at him, puzzled.
"Stop talking to him. We'll deal with this Akatsuki member now!" A blonde youth with the "Heat" tattoo on his shoulder grabs his ninja blade and charges forward!
Darui shouts: "Atsui! Don't act rashly! We don't know the enemy's abilities yet!"
Atsui, fired up, ignores him and charges with the sword alight in flames.
Obito stands still, with no defensive action. "Heh, too much fear, and you're frozen? Akatsuki isn't so impressive!"
Seeing this, Atsui smirks and swings his sword with full force!
——Cloud Style Heat Flame Slash!
Whoosh! In that instant, Atsui grins, "Got him…"
But…
The satisfaction of cutting through bone and flesh doesn't come.
It feels as if… he slashed through air! Whoosh! Atsui's momentum carries him forward, and his body passes right through Obito.
"What!?" He's stunned.
"Rash or calm, the result doesn't change. It's just the order of your death…"
Cold words sound from behind the mask as Obito turns, reaching for Atsui's shoulder.
Whoosh! A powerful black vortex from Obito's right eye pulls Atsui in!
Snap! The black vortex contracts, and Obito twists his neck along the black path…
In just one exchange, Atsui, marked with the "Heat" tattoo, vanishes into thin air! The Kumogakure ninjas stand shocked.
Darui shouts, "Where did he go?!"
Obito coldly looks back, "To another dimension. Don't worry, you'll all reunite soon…"
Darui regrets deeply: How am I supposed to explain this to Samui?
Atsui was Samui's brother.
"Well, it's my turn now…" Obito charges forward!
——Raging Gale Jutsu: Laser Circus!
Darui quickly forms hand seals, combining Water Style and Lightning Release to create a laser net of firepower! But all of them miss!
Whoosh! Obito and Darui pass through each other!
Darui: "As expected, his body can be penetrated!!!"
Whizz! Whizz! Whizz! Obito ignored the defensive formation of the Kumogakure Anbu in front of him. After a series of swift moves, he appeared right in front of Killer Bee, extending his hand toward him! Not everyone is like Minato; if this hand grabs you, everything will be over...!
— Lightning Release · Black lightning Slash!
A black lightning leopard descended!
"Huh?" Obito's gaze flickered as his extended hand passed right through Killer Bee's face...
Boom! The lightning leopard struck Killer Bee, exploding and scattering everywhere, forming an electric zone that no one could approach!
Inside the electric zone, Killer Bee was twitching all over: "Lightning baptism~, allied forces support~, weak legs~ early retirement~ low light moment, Eight-Tails Killer Bee out with bromine, constipation Feel~, idiot guys~ damn guys~~!"
Outside the electric zone, Obito's gaze shifted to Darui: "The third Raikage's special black Lightning Release, stronger in paralysis than the normal Lightning Release. With your Kumogakure lightning tattoos, you are the only one who can use it today."
Darui said, "Even if your body can be penetrated, when you choose to attack, you have to materialize. As long as we catch that moment, we can stop you and won't let you get close to Bee-sama easily!"
Obito: "Oh? You quickly figured that out. You're not simple…"
Darui's gaze darkened: But this also means that if he doesn't act, we have no way of dealing with him. Catching him at the right moment is not easy; it's not something we can do every time. One mistake, and it's all over...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Ninja swords, Kunai, Shuriken, Explosive Tags, a dazzling array of Ninjutsu! Kumogakure Anbu launched an assault! All the attacks had no effect under Kamui's Permeation!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Obito ignored one of Kumogakure's sword with his ability and pretended to grab him...
"The moment he attacks, he will materialize—now's the time!!" Another Anbu took the chance to strike, but the sharp blade passed through, stabbing his companion's chest! The Anbu who accidentally killed his ally was horrified: "What!? He purposely made a move to attack, using his technique's weakness to trick me into attacking!!!"
"Ah...!!!!"
Crack! As the Anbu's shock and sorrow overwhelmed him, Obito locked his neck from behind and snapped it, killing him instantly! Darui grew more anxious as he watched: As expected, the safest bet is to get Bee-sama out of here. As long as he and the Eight-Tails don't fall into Akatsuki's hands, even if we all die here, it won't matter!"
Weighing the pros and cons, he made a quick decision: "Mabui! Use the Heaven-sent Jutsu to send him away!"
Mabui: "But!"
Darui: "I understand, but as long as Bee-sama enters 'Stage Two,' with that dense Tailed Beast cloak protecting him, his body won't be torn apart by light-speed transmission. Of course... heavy injury is unavoidable!"
Mabui: "Is it necessary? The enemy's ability is tricky, but if we join forces with Mr. Bee…"
"It's not that simple! Look at his calm demeanor—he clearly hasn't gone all out yet!!"
"Akatsuki has already failed twice against Bee-sama! This third time, they're even going so far as to launch a surprise attack on the village just to draw the leader away! This time, Akatsuki is determined to win!"
Seeing Mabui hesitate, Darui shouted, "Hurry! The Black Lightning Slash's electric zone is about to disappear!"
"I... understand...!"
Mabui no longer hesitated and began preparing the Heaven-sent Jutsu!
"Don't even think about it…"
Obito's gaze coldly shifted to the side.
Whoosh! A sharpened wooden branch shot from his sleeve, aimed directly at Mabui's chest...
After piercing her, he cruelly formed hand seals.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Fierce wooden spikes suddenly grew from both her front and back...
Thud! Mabui collapsed, dead in a pool of blood!
Darui's pupils shrank, trembling: "That's... Wood Release!?"
"Correct, but the only reward is 'death!'"
Swish! black vortex suddenly appeared in mid-air, and Obito flicked his sleeves in the air, releasing a barrage of wooden spikes!
——Wood Style: Cutting Technique!
"Ughhhh...!!"
A desperate and horrifying scream echoed through the forest of trees...
In the pool of blood, Darui shouted, "B-Bee, hurry and run!!!"
"Idiot, you fool, Killer Bee-sama is going to turn into a killing machine!!!!"
Under his sunglasses, Killer Bee's eyes were bloodshot, his voice filled with rage!!
Boom! Boom!
His form and chakra expanded, transforming into the true form of the Eight-Tails, the ox-head octopus body!
——Tailed Beast Transformation!
Obito's eyes glimmered, "Oh? Here it comes..."
Swish! Dark and terrifying chakra compressed in the mouth of the Eight-Tails and then shot out!
——Tailed Beast Ball!!
Boom, boom, boom!
"Whether it's a Tailed Beast Ball or anything else, under my eyes, none of it means anything..."
Swish! Obito's body pierced through the front of the Tailed Beast Ball...
Boom, boom, boom!
The massive mountains behind were obliterated by the light shield!
"The beast struggles even when cornered, and the Eight-Tails, second only to the Nine-Tails in power, is no exception..."
Five clusters of flames ignited on the tips of Obito's fingers, and he bent down, pressing his hand onto the ground...
——Uchiha Fire Formation!
