Kamui.
This was the unique Dojutsu Obito obtained after his Sharingan reached the Mangekyo level.
Its essence was transferring matter to an independent space… an incredibly overpowered Space-Time Ability.
However, since one eye was left with his former best friend Kakashi, Obito, with only one Sharingan, could only use the defensive aspect of Kamui.
He couldn't directly attack remotely with his gaze, and he had to close the distance to send people into the Kamui Dimension.
The attack range wasn't large.
But in terms of defensive capability, the Kamui Obito could currently use was utterly unreasonable.
This eye allowed him to 'hide' himself in another space.
To others, it seemed as if he had become a visible but intangible ghost.
No matter how powerful the enemy's attack was, it couldn't threaten him.
Because he and his opponent were not in the same space.
So even though he was very wary of Naruto's combat power, honestly, Obito was more concerned about how to proceed with the plan than about his own life.
At least, that's what Obito had always thought until today.
Watching Naruto's arm 'pass through' his body, Obito was about to taunt him to mess with his mind when he suddenly felt the Kamui Dimension being affected by some kind of force.
'How… is this possible.'
Obito's body flickered like a faulty lightbulb, rapidly shifting from intangibility to solidity.
The problem was, Naruto's arm was still inserted 'inside' him.
So, Obito hurriedly retreated backward but was still a step too late.
After his body turned solid, a small part of it still overlapped with Naruto's palm.
In this situation, space would punish both parties equally.
"Ah!"
Obito felt that layer of flesh and blood completely shredded by an irresistible external force, blood uncontrollably flowing down.
On Naruto's side, several fingers were devoured by space.
But despite such an injury, Naruto's expression showed no change.
It wasn't just enduring pain… it was more like he had lost many human emotions.
Fortunately, this level of limb damage didn't seem to be a big problem for him.
Senjutsu Chakra and Zero-Tails' Chakra worked together, and soon, buds of flesh grew from the wound.
Immediately afterwards, brand-new fingers regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few seconds, Naruto's hand was restored to its original state.
In contrast, Obito was still clutching his bleeding wound, looking at him with horrified eye.
'Is this guy even human?!'
Naruto thoughtfully clenched his fist.
'Just now, I seemed to have touched something.'
[Space]
Earlier, when devouring the King of Hell's projection, Naruto had briefly gained a higher-level vision, allowing him to see other connected spaces beyond the Ninja World.
Now, although he couldn't see them, he could still faintly sense them.
"Was it you? The mastermind behind the Nine-Tails Attack."
Perhaps due to his lack of emotion, Naruto's expressionless delivery made this even more terrifying.
At this moment, Obito had no intention of saying anything.
For so many years, he had relied on Kamui's intangibility to do as he pleased.
It could be said that no matter how troublesome the enemy, Obito dared to flaunt himself in front of them.
Until today, when someone actually managed to attack him through the Kamui Dimension… even if only briefly affecting Kamui.
It was enough to throw him into disarray.
The image of the behind-the-scenes boss he had always maintained was instantly shattered.
To put it bluntly, he lost all his cool.
After giving Naruto a hateful look with his single eye, Obito didn't dare say another word.
Clutching his wound, he completely retreated into the Kamui Dimension and vanished.
Naruto wanted to stop him, but ultimately, he still lacked the ability to fully affect space.
His hand turned into a blade, and a slash cut through where Obito had been standing, splitting the entire tower and all the buildings behind it in half.
Zetsu, who had been watching from the spectator stands, was still processing what happened when sunlight fell on his head.
Fortunately, half his body was hidden in the floor, so the slash flew over his head without injuring him.
'How did things end up like this?'
But obviously, there wasn't much time for him to be dazed. The next moment, those eyes symbolizing death looked over, their gaze focusing on Zetsu.
"To escape so decisively… you, do you know where to find him?"
When he said the first half, Naruto was still over ten meters away.
In the blink of an eye, he had already reached out and pressed his hand on Zetsu's shoulder.
This was far more effective than any horror movie.
The instinctual fear of being approached by a natural predator completely enveloped Black Zetsu's heart.
'Run!'
His body quickly sank into the floor below.
Unfortunately, this was enough time for Naruto to act.
A few more slashes, and Zetsu's limbs were severed.
However, Black Zetsu might be average in other aspects, but his survival skills were truly top-notch.
He directly abandoned the White Zetsu he was sticking on, enduring the pain of having part of his body cut off, and continued merging into the bricks and stones.
A clue had slipped away right before his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, Naruto should have felt anger, frustration, and regret about this.
But now, he felt nothing.
Even the desire to kill 'Uchiha Madara' felt more like completing a task than seeking revenge.
This was clearly abnormal.
At that moment, Jiraiya and the others arrived belatedly.
With them was Konan, who had just been blasted away.
Seeing the scene inside the tower and Nagato, who had completely lost his breath, Konan's face finally showed pain.
Ignoring everyone around her, she rushed to Nagato's side, tightly holding his head, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.
Sasuke and Karin wanted to stop her but were held back by Jiraiya.
Two of his three students in the Land of Rain were now dead. It would be a lie to say he wasn't sad.
But he said nothing, only shaking his head slightly.
Then, he looked at Naruto.
"Naruto, what's going on here-"
Jiraiya also saw Nagato, who had lost his eyes. He feared Naruto had directly gouged out the Rinnegan and swallowed them raw.
Although compared to Nagato, Jiraiya would undoubtedly side with Naruto-
That didn't mean he could accept a cannibalism scene.
-And it was so bloody.
"It was that Uchiha Madara. He ran away."
Hearing this, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately realized what was happening and he was filled with disbelief:
"He actually managed to escape from you?"
"That guy has a Ninjutsu that can affect Space-Time. My attacks can hardly hurt him."
Not impossible, just difficult.
Of course, if the other party was determined to escape, Naruto had no way to stop him.
After saying this, Naruto expressionlessly walked over to the weeping Konan and said,
"You, do you know where to find him?"
The exact same tone, the exact same expression.
But Konan didn't find it strange.
After all, they were enemies, so this tone was normal.
Remembering that both Yahiko and Nagato's deaths had that so-called 'Uchiha Madara, who was pulling strings behind the scenes, Konan's sadness was quickly replaced by hatred.
"I don't know where he would go, but I know he will definitely collect the Tailed Beasts."
If the other organization members had their own reasons for joining, Obito's goals were vague for Konan.
'Now that I thinks about it, Nagato's decision to collect the Tailed Beasts was also influenced by this 'Uchiha Madara'.'
'After Yahiko's death, Nagato originally only intended to use pain to threaten the great nations of the Ninja World, forcing them to accept peace.'
'It was 'Uchiha Madara' who step by step linked this goal to collecting the Tailed Beasts.'
'Now it seemed this guy must have another purpose for collecting the Tailed Beasts.'
"Can you kill him for me? In exchange, you can take my life."
Unexpectedly, Naruto just shook his head.
"Not to mention your life is already in my hands and cannot be used as a bargaining chip-"
"Even if you didn't say anything, I would kill him."
After saying this, Naruto ignored her and turned to Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya-sensei, she's your student. How to handle her is up to you."
Hearing this, Jiraiya only looked at Konan with complex eyes and nodded slightly.
"Where is Uchiha Itachi? Where did he go?"
Sasuke, who had been waiting for a while, couldn't help but ask the question on his mind.
Konan looked up at him, feeling there was no need to hold out any longer, and directly answered,
"They went to Mount Shumisen. Their target is to recruit a Ninja named Hiruko."
"Hiruko?"
Jiraiya knew this person, and they had even been friends once. But later, this guy defected from Konoha and then vanished.
"Naruto-"
Sasuke turned to Naruto, his meaning clear.
"Fine, but we might have to wait a bit."
Naruto didn't think dealing with an Itachi would take much time.
As he spoke, he walked toward the hole that had been smashed open.
"After I deal with the enemy, we'll set off."
With that, Naruto leaped down directly.
'There are still enemies!?'
Hearing this, the others' expressions changed, and they all looked down through the large hole.
They then saw a tough guy standing below. He looks as strong as an iron tower, with a faint flash of lightning on his body.
"Is this guy also from the Akatsuki?"
Karin looked at the tough guy wearing only a loose coat, looking somewhat puzzled.
Akatsuki's members were very easy to identify. After all, for a criminal organization, they actually had uniforms.
This once again coincided with a certain organization next door.
Jiraiya beside her shook his head, answering her question.
"No, that's the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, A."
"The Fourth Raikage!?"
'Why would someone like that come here?'
Below, Raikage looked at the familiar face landing before him, a smile appearing on his face.
"I finally caught you. You really run fast, Uzumaki Naruto."
Lightning flickered as the Raikage instantly entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
