Chapter 135: Fierce Battle
When Yue Yan saw the Mangekyo Sharingan in Obito Uchiha's left eye socket, which he had never seen before, he understood why Obito had not returned to Konoha for so long.
Based on what Obito had said before, Yue Yan guessed that he had always kept Rin in Konoha, leaving no chance for Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu to act. As a result, they used a Mangekyo Sharingan to tamper with Obito's memory.
Judging from Obito's previous reaction, he should still have an impression of Rin. However, it was likely that he had been overly stimulated by Yue Yan, causing the automatic protection function of the Mangekyo Sharingan to activate.
For Obito now, the Rin he regarded as a goddess was someone else.
After understanding this, Yue Yan didn't hesitate. He instantly activated the Thunder Beast Mode and rushed towards Obito. As long as he could defeat Obito and bring him back in front of Rin, as long as the influence of that Mangekyo Sharingan was not as exceptionally potent as Kotoamatsukami, with Obito's infatuation for Rin, the influence should be broken.
In fact, Yue Yan even suspected that not even Kotoamatsukami could erase Obito's love for Rin.
After all, Kotoamatsukami is just an ability of the Mangekyo Sharingan and should be no match for the erosion of the Ten - Tails.
Wait!
Yue Yan suddenly frowned, thinking of some Mondai he had overlooked.
In the original story, Obito decided to carry out the Moon's Eye Plan after witnessing Rin's real death. But the premise was real death.
Death was a heavy thing. Yue Yan wasn't quite sure if Obito, who hadn't witnessed Rin's death with his own eyes, would have the same firm will as in the original story.
If not, was Yue Yan supposed to kill Rin in front of Obito?
Shaking his head, Yue Yan tried not to think about these things for the moment. He teleported in front of Obito and swung his Lightning Flash - wrapped claws, sending out several blade glows.
However, facing the Kamui, which was extremely powerful, even if Yue Yan's attacks were powerful, they would be in vain if he couldn't land them.
On the other hand, Obito could use his intangibility to launch sneak attacks.
But no matter whether Obito used Wood Release, Kunai, or Shuriken, the moment they entered Yue Yan's spherical perception net around his body, Yue Yan would sense them and dodge accordingly.
They had been attacking and defending for a long time, but neither of them had managed to touch the other.
However, Yue Yan wasn't in a hurry. Knowing that the single - eye Kamui could only last for a maximum of five minutes, he just needed to launch continuous attacks within these five minutes, leaving no chance for Obito to catch his breath. After all, when it came to a war of attrition, he had never been afraid of anyone.
On another battlefield, the battle was also extremely intense.
The battle between Hayate Gekkō, Zabuza, and Haku was relatively stable. As for Shisui, Itachi, and Xiaolan, they were having a tougher time.
Although Hayate Yururi is sick, the basic physical gap caused by age is enough for her to overpower Shisui and Itachi, who hadn't awakened the Sharingan with three tomoe. Moreover, her skills with the Thunder Sabre Fuguki Suikazan are much better than Raiga Kurosuki's.
Looking at Shisui and Itachi, who had awakened the Sharingan but only had two tomoe, Hayate Yururi curled her lips.
"What wonderful little guys you two are. Just how far can you two go?"
With the blessing of Lightning Release chakra, Hayate Yururi briefly burst out at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, she reached Shisui.
Using the fork of one of her Thunder Sabres to block Shisui's swinging Tantō, she then reversed her grip on the other Thunder Sabre, which had been broken by Yue Yan before, and swiped it horizontally across Shisui's neck.
Watching Shisui's body turn into a puff of smoke and disappear, Hayate Yururi, who knew it was a kage clone, grinned even wider.
"Hehe, this is just amazing."
Seeing this, Shisui, who had rejoined Itachi, couldn't help but sigh.
Since the Lightning Release chakra was rampaging inside Hayate Yururi's body, Shisui's illusion empowered only by the two - tomoe Sharingan had no effect on her. Maybe if it were the three - tomoe, it would work.
"Brother Shisui, remember how you fought my Father before?"
Hearing this, Shisui understood what Itachi meant. After nodding, he and Itachi created several kage clones together.
Clone Jutsu is extremely useful as long as the opponent can't launch large - scale attacks. Even Kaguya couldn't distinguish between kage clones and the real body.
Seeing several Shisuis and Itachis surrounding her, Hayate Yururi squinted her eyes and glanced at the half - broken Fuguki Suikazan in her right hand.
"Tsk, trying to confuse me with kage clones? If Fuguki Suikazan were intact, it would be a piece of cake. But now..."
Hayate Yururi crossed the Fuguki Suikazan.
"Lightning Release: Fangs of Lightning!"
Several blue Lightning Flashes scattered and struck towards Shisui and Itachi who were charging. After blasting two kage clones, several Shisui and Itachi clones still charged forward.
"Is this? A clone technique without a physical body?"
"Fire Release: Balsam Flower Claw Red!"
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
Shisui and Itachi, who emerged from the rear, used Fire Release jutsu from the left and right to block Hayate Yururi's movement.
Seeing this, Hayate Yururi leaped up, spun a few times, and dodged several Shurikens wrapped in flames. The moment she landed, she stabbed her two Thunder Sabres into the ground.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Gate!"
Centered around Hayate Yururi, a ferocious bolt of Lightning Flash instantly exploded, destroying both the Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique and the subsequent clones.
"Ah well, though I can't guess where your real bodies are, I just need to get rid of all the kage clones."
Watching Hayate Yururi draw the Fuguki Suikazan from the ground and slowly walk towards them, Shisui and Itachi looked extremely solemn.
Hayate Yururi might be inferior to Fugaku Uchiha in terms of raw strength, but her fierce attacks and wide - ranging, powerful Lightning Release jutsu put unprecedented pressure on Shisui and Itachi, especially when illusions were of little use.
On the other side, Xiaolan was also fighting Gengetsu Hōzuki, who wielded other ninja blades.
Gengetsu Hōzuki, who can freely use various ninja swords and the Water Transformation jutsu, changes his moves extremely fast. For a moment, Xiaolan has no good way to deal with it.
Xiaolan, holding a bone club in each hand, just took advantage of the moment when Gengetsu Hōzuki was waving Samehada and planned to rush up and fight. Then Xiaolan saw Samehada suddenly disappear, and the Blasting Blade Hiramekarei appeared in Gengetsu Hōzuki's hand instead.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The moment the Blasting Blade Hiramekarei made a diagonal slash, dozens of Explosive Tags were detonated. The heat wave of the explosion swept across, forcing Xiaolan to give up the attack and instead use the [Protect] barrier to resist.
Before the explosion flames died out, Xiaolan, who used Aura Power for perception, tilted her head and dodged the flying long - sword Nuibari.
But at this time, Xiaolan, who was still in mid - air, had no way to borrow strength to dodge. Gengetsu Hōzuki leaped into the air and used the Great Water Arm jutsu to amplify his strength, then swung down the Kabutowari.
Seeing this, Xiaolan gritted her teeth and raised her bone clubs to block the axe blade of the Kabutowari.
As is well - known, the attack of the Kabutowari generally consists of two phases. After the axe blade of the Kabutowari was blocked, Gengetsu Hōzuki raised the hammer in his other hand and instantly smashed it on the axe - back.
The addition of gravity and the point - to - surface attack instantly acted on one point.
With a crack, the two bone clubs in Xiaolan's hands broke into two pieces.
If it weren't for Xiaolan giving a sharp side - kick to the hammer of the Kabutowari, she would probably be injured by this move.
After landing and turning over, Gengetsu Hōzuki didn't give Xiaolan any chance to catch her breath. He took back the Kabutowari and pointed one hand like a gun at Xiaolan below.
Water Release: Water Iron Cannon jutsu!
The water bullet highly compressed by chakra instantly bombarded towards Xiaolan's head.
Just then, Xiaolan raised a paw and fired a Wave Missile as well.
