Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The thirty Susanoo launched by Madara's wood clones hurled Yasaka Magatama with precise rhythm, maintaining both attack density and continuity. This formed a perfect cycle of attacks, paired with the powerful force of Wood Release, leaving Obito with no opportunity to deactivate his phasing!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Amidst the roaring, Obito had no choice but to continue in phasing mode, holding his breath and striving to escape the pollen zone!
I never expected Madara to understand the essence of my abilities so thoroughly. He's come prepared. However, to maintain such relentless coverage that leaves me with no countermeasure, he must focus entirely. Even a slight external force could disrupt him. Zetsu, ready yourself!!
Splash!
The ocean surged as White Zetsu, in his Tobi form, emerged forcefully, launching his spiked wood towards Madara standing on the sea!
Madara glanced sideways: "So, it's Tobi, siding with Obito as expected. But I also came prepared."
Black Zetsu!!
"Understood, Lord Madara!!!"
Splash!!
Black Zetsu rose from the sea at Madara's feet, shielding him from the spiked wood!!
"What!?" Obito was shocked to see Black Zetsu appear, "How can it be? Wasn't it sealed in the void of my space-time dimension by my Ten Directions Divine Void Sword? How is it here!?"
Black Zetsu sneered, "Obito~ just as you guarded against me, I have always been prepared for you~ What you sealed was merely a fragment of me. You didn't expect that, did you~"
Obito pondered deeply: Madara hasn't regained control over the Gedo Statue yet, and the White Zetsu won't obey him. The only one aware of my hiding place was Tobi, who cut off contact with other White Zetsu to prevent information leaks. Yet Madara still tracked me down. It must be Black Zetsu, whose forte is intelligence gathering.
Black Zetsu asked, "Lord Madara, are you ready to kill this traitor Obito?"
Madara replied, "Ah, that's a good choice. After killing him, I'll use Tobi as a living sacrifice to perform Edo Tensei on Obito. This way, not only his ocular powers but also the Gedo Statue and the tailed beasts will be at my disposal~ The initiative will be entirely in my hands!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The lethal firepower coverage continued, pushing Obito to his phasing limit. Madara showed no signs of stopping!
Obito's expression was grave: "My right eye has activated Tsukuyomi, rendering me immune to all genjutsu at the cost of being unable to use Izanagi. In that case..."
"You won't succeed!!!"
At this moment, Tobi shouted, clapping his hands together. A small-scale True Several Thousand Hands rose from the sea, advancing!
Black Zetsu exclaimed, "I can't block this!!"
"Hmph~" Madara smirked, as five wood clones disengaged, confronting Tobi. After four were crushed, the last one landed close to Tobi, suddenly throwing a kunai downward!
"A kunai?" Tobi murmured, stepping back.
Whoosh!!
Suddenly, Madara's body emerged from the kunai, a black rod piercing Tobi's chest!!
Obito was stunned, "Flying Thunder God!?"
Crack!!
Terrifying chakra flowed from the black rod!!
"Ugh!" Tobi was immobilized instantly!!
Madara's gaze was cold, "To counter the threat of Naruto, I learned the favorite tricks of the person I once despised most! Do you know how humiliating that was for me, Obito!!!"
Due to dividing his attention to attack Tobi, the assault on Obito slowed, allowing him a moment's respite. Black Susanoo chakra spilled out, forming a complete body!
Madara's eyes narrowed, "Hmph, you managed to catch your breath. I've heard your Susanoo artifact can seal Black Zetsu's Yin-Yang body, indeed troublesome, but as long as it doesn't hit, it's meaningless."
Obito's gaze was somber, thoughts racing: My long-range artifact, Ninefold Kamui Magatama, can track targets before hitting and phase through to prevent interception. But its phasing time shares with mine, and I've exhausted my phasing, reducing it to just a tracking Kamui shuriken. To deal with Madara, I'll ultimately need the Ten Directions Divine Void Sword for a complete seal.
Boom!
In Obito's complete Susanoo, a black greatsword formed, thrusting towards Black Zetsu on the sea!
Atop the small-scale True Several Thousand Hands, Madara pondered: His target is Black Zetsu? Makes sense, but still somewhat peculiar.
Whoosh!!
Black Zetsu retreated swiftly: "I am Madara's will. The same trick won't work on me!"
Zing!
But Obito ignored Black Zetsu, suddenly focusing downward on the sea.
Yomotsu Hirasaka!!
Whoosh!!
Madara, initially atop the small-scale True Several Thousand Hands, suddenly appeared on the sea!!
Madara's pupils contracted: "This is a time-space ocular jutsu!! His target wasn't Black Zetsu, but the position I occupied before using the Flying Thunder God!!!"
Crack!!
The Ten Directions Divine Void Sword pierced Madara's body!!!
Whoosh!
A terrifying Kamui vortex began spinning, pulling Madara into the void of the space-time dimension!
Obito declared solemnly, "Madara, it's over!"
Whoosh!
Madara's body was completely transferred by the Ten Directions Divine Void Sword, while all the surrounding wood clones fell, turning into lifeless deadwood!
Black Zetsu was horrified, "How, how could this be? Lord Madara, actually?"
Obito cast a cold gaze, "Black Zetsu, you're next!"
Boom!
But suddenly, the sea surged, and a sky-blue complete Susanoo burst forth, lifting tons of seawater, cascading down. It stood opposite Obito's black Susanoo, each dominating half the sky!
Madara, positioned in the forehead block of his complete Susanoo, crossed his arms before his chest, declaring boldly, "Obito, did you really think I was unprepared for your suspected new ocular jutsu? From the moment I decided to use the Flying Thunder God to assault Tobi, I had already left a wood clone, keeping my real body beneath the sea!"
Madara's thoughts were meticulous: But theoretically, with your current vision, you could see through wood clones, yet in your haste, you failed to observe carefully, hastily using your trump card ocular jutsu~ It's because you were anxious to move me away from Tobi, right?
Crack!
Obito clenched his fist tightly. Yomotsu Hirasaka isn't a jutsu that can be used consecutively. Since I failed to seal Madara and he knows my details, succeeding again will be extremely difficult!
Should I use Kamui to retreat immediately?
But Tobi is currently pinned by Madara's black rod. Under Madara's vigilance, Obito can at most escape alone, unable to take Tobi with him!
He regretted deeply in his heart: From the start, when Madara launched that meteor attack, I should have retreated into the space-time dimension early on, avoiding the peak. I shouldn't have relied on phasing, ultimately making a wrong move, losing the entire game.
Madara contemplated: Despite everything, Obito's complete Susanoo is still formidable, and he can abandon Tobi and flee at any moment. Though he retains a naive side~ if it truly comes to life and death, he will undoubtedly abandon Tobi to save himself. Considering all factors, killing him and then using Edo Tensei is unlikely to succeed.
Madara raised his eyes, "Alright then, Obito~ let's each take a step back, return to the initial negotiation point, and discuss joining forces against Naruto. After witnessing my strength, you shouldn't make foolish judgments, right? After all, in my eyes, you're still somewhat clever; otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen you as the executor of the Eye of the Moon Plan."
After much consideration, there was ultimately no better option.
Obito relaxed his clenched fist, compromising, "Alright then, I can join forces with you. Release Tobi!"
