Chapter 272 A Fei
"What...what kind of monster is that?!"
"It's Shukaku! Our Sand Village's ultimate weapon! Hahaha, Konoha is doomed!"
"Great! We've finally waited for this moment! Let Konoha be destroyed already!"
"Quick! Crush them now!"
Shukaku's massive, mountain-like body appeared in the heart of Konoha, instantly changing the course of the battlefield. Konoha's ninjas and villagers who hadn't had time to evacuate were plunged into immense panic.
The invading Sand Village and Sound Village erupted in frenzied cheers. However, they seemed to have overlooked the fact that—can a runaway tailed beast truly distinguish between friend and foe?
After a deafening roar, Shukaku suddenly opened its massive maw. The chakra that had just been restored and was intended for escape was forcibly extracted and rapidly condensed into a purplish-black sphere radiating destructive energy within its mouth.
Tailed Beast Ball.
On the battlefield, some middle-aged ninjas who had experienced the Nine-Tails' rampage, or even older veteran ninjas from Konoha, turned deathly pale the moment they saw the sphere.
That hellish night more than a decade ago seemed to replay before their eyes—the same thing that nearly razed Konoha to the ground and took the life of their beloved Fourth Hokage. A profound fear and despair gripped their hearts once more.
"We made it!"
Just as Shukaku roared and began to condense the Tailed Beast Ball, a golden figure appeared on a telephone pole in Konoha.
Naruto felt a chill run down his spine—if he hadn't mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, even at the speed of the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, he had no confidence that he could arrive in time.
He rapidly formed hand seals, and exquisite space-time barrier runes quickly constructed and unfolded in front of him.
Flying Thunder God Guided Thunder, ready once again!
"Go, Shukaku."
In the shadows surrounding Konoha Village, Obito, wearing a spiral mask, coldly issued his orders.
The energy from the Tailed Beast Ball in Shukaku's mouth became increasingly violent and unstable, and it looked as if the destructive beam was about to shoot towards the area of Konoha!
but.
"Who exactly are you?"
A cold, suppressed voice suddenly rang out behind Obito.
At the same time, a powerful and terrifying eye force, carrying a completely different will, suddenly descended! It precisely interfered with and impacted the Sharingan genjutsu attached to Shukaku!
"Whoa?!"
Shukaku's normally stable three-tomoe pattern began to flicker violently and become extremely unstable! Under this sudden interference from its eye power and the resistance of its will, Shukaku's massive head suddenly jerked upwards!
The cannons, originally aimed at Konoha, were forced to turn towards the sky!
"boom!!!!!!!"
A deafening explosion resounded through the sky! The Tailed Beast Ball, containing destructive power, shot straight into the sky and finally detonated with a bang high above Konoha!
A blinding white light instantly illuminated the entire sky, and the enormous fireball rolled and expanded.
Destructive energy was unleashed across the sky, transforming into a dazzling firework that cost lives, enveloping the entire Hidden Leaf Village in swaying light and falling dust.
Obito turned his head, his crimson Sharingan beneath the spiral mask narrowing slightly as he locked onto this uninvited guest who had managed to disrupt his genjutsu. The other person was also wearing a mask, concealing their face, their identity a mystery… Who was they?
However, the masked man opposite him—Uchiha Shisui—had a vague suspicion that this mysterious person was very likely the culprit who orchestrated the Nine-Tails' rampage and pushed the Uchiha clan into the abyss.
But he had no time to delve into the details. His immediate priority was to stop Shukaku, who was now rampaging through the heart of Konoha!
"Haha~? What a terrifying look!"
A deliberately comical and eccentric tone emanated from beneath the orange mask. Obito even exaggeratedly shrugged, using flamboyant gestures to conceal his true personality and intentions.
"But this road—is blocked?"
Despite the flippant words, Shisui sensed that the moment the other person finished speaking, a powerful eye force was once again applied to Shukaku in the distance! It was the final genjutsu hint—to destroy everything around him!
We can't delay any longer!
Shisui's eyes narrowed, and the short sword on his back was instantly drawn, turning into a cold light and stabbing straight at Obito's heart!
However, the blade pierced through the opponent's body without any resistance, hitting only an empty phantom, without any sense of hitting a solid object.
"What?!"
Shisui's mind went blank with alarm bells. Without hesitation, he used the momentum to retreat quickly, creating distance between himself and his opponent.
Is it a genjutsu? No… I couldn’t have been completely unaware. Could it be… some kind of space-time ninjutsu? Or perhaps it’s also an ability of the Mangekyou Sharingan?
"Seriously~ I haven't even done anything yet, why are you already resorting to knives and guns?" Obito said in that unpleasantly frivolous tone, even shrugging helplessly.
"Could you be one of [Jin]'s people? That's impressive! To be honest, I'm currently working hard to join a super~ awesome organization."
"I wonder what the benefits are like in your organization? If the benefits are good... I might consider switching jobs... Haha, just kidding, don't say that to our boss."
His words were still full of humor and absurdity, but Shisui was not underestimating his opponent in the slightest, nor did he have the patience to engage in meaningless conversation with him at such a critical moment! He had to act quickly and resolve this dangerous obstacle!
Without the slightest hesitation, Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan beneath his mask suddenly spun and focused!
"Amaterasu!"
