"Shshshsh!" Countless shuriken flew toward Ye Liang.
No matter who Ye Liang was, Obito was determined to launch a fierce attack anyway!
Kamui – External Release!
Obito hurled out a massive chunk of land from the Kamui dimension!
This was territory from the River Country he had previously absorbed. A rough estimate put its weight at no less than hundreds of tons!
"Haha! No matter who you are, there's no way you can withstand an attack of this magnitude!" Obito laughed loudly as he hovered above the deep pit where Ye Liang stood.
From a hundred-meter depth, there was no way Ye Liang could climb out in time.
But before his laughter ended, his expression suddenly froze.
Ye Liang had vanished!
Just like when he appeared, Ye Liang disappeared through space-time ninjutsu!
"You thought you were the only one with Space-Time Ninjutsu?"
The next moment, a cold voice rang in Obito's ears, and simultaneously, a shuriken pierced through his chest. This time, however, there was no bloodshed.
"You're trying to trick me again!" Ye Liang sneered.
Without forming hand seals, he summoned a Fire Dragon that clung persistently around Obito's body.
"It won't work. That kind of technique can never harm me!"
As the Fire Dragon spiraled around him, Obito seemed unaffected, as if the flames didn't even exist.
"Oh really?"
Speaking, Ye Liang placed his hand on the Fire Dragon.
"A while ago, I picked up a very interesting trick from that useless Rivershadow Shinobi—I just happen to want to show it to you."
"Rivershadow Shinobi? Never heard of them."
Obito looked puzzled.
Ye Liang didn't answer, but silently stroked the Fire Dragon without another word.
Time passed minute by minute.
In the first minute, Obito still looked slightly doubtful.
By the second minute, surprise flickered across his face.
That the Fire Dragon could last this long indeed exceeded his expectations.
Minute three!
Obito finally showed horror.
"This is impossible! The Great Fireball Technique is clearly an A-rank jutsu. How could it possibly last this long? What exactly is your technique?"
"You really think a man's staying power is something you can match?" Ye Liang teased.
He actually learned this trick from the slain Lord Rivershadow.
Earlier, when the Qianhu Men used an Ice Dragon against Ye Liang, he had infused most of his chakra into the Ice Dragon to increase its duration.
That's how the Ice Dragon stayed around for so long.
Ye Liang's Fire Dragon worked under the exact same principle.
His Nine-Tails Chakra naturally leaned toward fire attributes, and now, by continuously channeling chakra into the Fire Dragon,
as long as Ye Liang kept feeding it, the Fire Dragon surrounding Obito would never disappear.
Remember—Obito's Kamui shield only lasts five minutes!
Don't ask how Ye Liang knew—it was all written in the original story.
Once Kamui's timeframe ended, there would be absolutely no escape from this Fire Dragon attack. Worse still, if injured at that point, even attempting to use Kamui would become nearly impossible.
Minute four already!
Obito's forehead was now drenched in cold sweat. At this point, he realized relying solely on Kamui wouldn't save him anymore.
"This isn't working—I need a new plan!"
His mind raced furiously. At this moment, he noticed the deep pit on the ground had already been covered by earth released from the previous attack.
"If using Earth Release to relocate underground might work," he immediately dove downward, while Ye Liang's Fire Dragon hissed and coiled tightly around his body.
"Trying to escape into the soil, huh?" Ye Liang sneered.
Obito's Earth Release techniques were weak. Though he could vanish into the ground, compared to Ye Liang, he was vastly inferior.
Without forming a single hand seal, Ye Liang shouted "[Earth Dragon Projectile!]" and a massive [Earth Dragon Projectile] erupted from the ground.
It lunged forward and wrapped around Obito.
"You're right, using earth to douse my Fire Dragon was a smart idea. But earth can also become a weapon that harms you! You won't escape from me."
Obito kept diving deeper underground!
He had no choice now. There was a Fire Dragon in the air and an [Earth Dragon Projectile] on the ground. No matter how he tried to flee, he couldn't break free from Ye Liang's grasp.
"There's still the [Underground Water Vein]!"
Previously when Qianhu Men ambushed them, they had summoned a massive [Underground Water Vein]. If he could dive underground and use that water vein, there might still be a slim chance of survival!
"Useless! All of it is useless! Even water won't save you!" Ye Liang shouted again.
A massive Water Dragon emerged from the mud, roaring loudly as it faced Obito's shocked expression.
"No! That's impossible! How could you possibly master three different elemental jutsu!"
"Three elements? Haha, are you mocking me!" Ye Liang gave a strange laugh and snapped his fingers sharply. Instantly, all the surrounding trees transformed into a Wooden Dragon.
"This is [Wood Dragon]!"
He snapped his fingers again. A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky! Before it even touched the ground, it transformed into a Lightning Dragon, staring intently at Obito.
"This is [Lightning Dragon]!"
Ye Liang gently blew out a breath. This breath seemed to carry centuries' worth of power. As soon as it met the surrounding air, it transformed into a vivid Wind Dragon.
"This is [Wind Dragon]!"
"What other elemental techniques do you want to see? I can perform them all for you," Ye Liang waved his hand toward Obito.
Obito dazedly knelt on the ground.
"No, that's impossible. I've never heard of you before! You're this powerful, yet so unknown!"
"Because I don't care about fame!" Ye Liang turned his back once more.
If he'd gotten even a crumb of praise, he wouldn't be showing off like this.
"So now, you should surrender," Ye Liang said without turning his head.
He raised five fingers. The [Kamui Countdown] had already begun.
5, 4, 3,
He counted down while lowering his fingers one by one.
1!
Just as he uttered the final number, he suddenly summoned a new mighty dragon beneath him! The expected scream didn't happen; instead, a red-haired man wearing an [Akatsuki Robe] appeared before him.
Obito was hanging in his hand.
"You're quite interesting. Nagato will remember you. Next time, I'll bring the entire Akatsuki organization to visit you."
"Let's go!" Obito cried out in panic.
Before Ye Liang could react, he activated the Kamui dimension and dove inside with the red-haired man.
A few seconds later.
Kamui deactivated.
Ye Liang had a tick mark on his forehead.
He got away?!
Damn it!
If only I had played it cooler earlier, he wouldn't have escaped!
What was I thinking, turning my back?!
Ye Liang really wanted to slap himself!
While he was channeling the Fire Dragon just now, Obito must have been quietly approached and teleported away by Nagato. And there he was, like an idiot, silently counting down...
I'll be waiting for you! Ye Liang shouted into the empty, vast sky, as if someone would actually hear him.
Then, he slowly descended.
Although Obito had escaped, he still had something else to deal with.
