This leader was indeed elite, as he immediately thought of a way to respond.
Water counters fire.
And at the last moment, he successfully released it.
However, the high-speed water jet was instantly torn apart by the rotating flames, and a large amount of steam dissipated into the air.
The remaining vortex flames did not seem to have diminished much and continued without pause toward the Kumogakure shinobiā¦
In the next moment, they passed through the bodies of the Kumogakure shinobi.
This time, they truly passed through.
One by one, the struck Kumogakure shinobi had their bodies torn apart by the vortex flames, splitting into two halves.
At this moment, the vortex flames suddenly exploded.
BOOM!
Instantly, the bodies of many Kumogakure shinobi near the explosion were melted by the extreme heat in a flash.
Even those farther away were blasted away, falling to the ground, barely alive.
Only a very small number of strong individuals could still stand, but they were in an extremely sorry state.
A squad of fifty was now nearly wiped out.
However, it wasn't over yet.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Obito controlled the Susanoo and slowly approached. Due to its enormous size, every step caused the ground to tremble.
Without hesitation, he began slapping down with Susanoo's massive hands at everyone around him.
Whether they were standing or lying down, dead or alive, the Kumogakure shinobi were all sent to the underworld without exception.
This was the importance of making sure the job was finished.
The leading Kumogakure shinobi panted heavily, watching this scene with a bitter smile.
He had also suffered severe injuries in the previous violent assault. Though he hadn't fallen yet, he was barely holding on.
His heart sank bit by bit.
He didn't understand why such a powerful individual had appeared here. Even if their Third Raikage personally came, it would be no different, right?
He smiled bitterly and said, "Are you planning to exterminate us completely?"
Obito spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and ominous: "What do you think?"
As if he had already received his answer, the Kumogakure shinobi closed his eyes.
But in the next moment, he opened them again, and lightning surged all over his body.
He glanced at the last few comrades still alive and roared, "RUN! DELIVER THE INTEL BACK! I'LL BUY TIME!"
After saying this, he charged at Obito like a moth to a flame.
Seeing this, the remaining Kumogakure shinobi hesitated but ultimately clenched their teeth and turned to flee at full speed.
Obito, controlling Susanoo, raised its massive blue hand.
With a flick, like swatting a flyā
The charging Kumogakure shinobi was sent flying, crashing into a large tree before falling to the ground.
At this moment, he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood, his breathing faint and shallow.
Obito dispelled his Susanoo and slowly walked toward him.
Obito asked in a low voice, "Why are you fighting?"
A hint of confusion appeared in the Kumogakure shinobi's eyes, but soon, they became resolute again, "For my village."
"The village, huh?"
'But what exactly are they fighting for in the village's name?'
'To these Kumogakure shinobi, this battle is likely an inexplicable way to die.'
Obito suddenly found them somewhat pitiful. Or rather, all the shinobi fighting in this war, and even the entire shinobi system, were pitiful.
Many shinobi didn't even know why they were fighting. They just threw themselves into battle and lost their lives without hesitation.
The Kumogakure shinobi weakly asked, "You're not going to chase them?"
Obito replied slowly, "They won't escape."
"Is that so?", The Kumogakure shinobi painfully closed his eyes, "I see. I can feel itā¦ There are still people nearby. So, you weren't alone all along."
"Give me a quick death."
Obito nodded, pulled out a Flying Thunder God kunai, and ended his life.
In war, there was no absolute right or wrong. Everyone was simply protecting what they cherished. The Kumogakure shinobi who died here were doing so, and so was he.
Since the Kumogakure sought to capture the Nine-Tails, which would endanger the Big Sister, then they should be prepared to be killed by him.
Obito surveyed the battlefield once more. After confirming that everyone was dead, he went to rendezvous with Minato's team.
Upon arriving, he saw that the fleeing Kumogakure shinobi had all collapsed on the ground, their bodies still emitting the scorched heat from lightning strikes.
'So, Kakashi handled them.'
Obito looked toward his gathered teammatesāMinato, Rin, and Kakashi. He removed his mask, dispelling his transformation.
He grinned, "I'm done over here."
Minato smiled as well, "We saw everything. That blue giant you summoned earlier, is that the legendary power of the MangekyÅ Sharingan?"
Obito nodded, "Yes, this move is called Susanoo. It was my first time using it. In my past life, my left eye was always with Kakashi, so I never had the chance to activate it."
Minato couldn't help but sigh, "It's an incredibly powerful ability, especially on the battlefield. As long as the enemy can't break through its defense, you can attack without restraint."
Obito nodded, "Yeah, and this is just the initial stage of Susanoo. There are even stronger forms beyond this."
"Even stronger forms?", At that moment, even Kakashi felt a twinge of jealousy.
Who wouldn't want to pilot a Gundam?
Kakashi wanted to pilot one too.
So, he rolled his dead-fish eyes and quipped sarcastically, "Oh, so you were only using the beginner stage? I thought it was something amazing."
Obito turned to him, annoyed, "Kakashi, you're the last person who should be talking."
Kakashi scoffed, "So what? In our past lives, you gave me one of your eyes, and it severely drained my chakra reserves."
"One eye alone couldn't activate Susanoo. Why can't I complain?"
Obito gritted his teeth, "But in the end, when I died, I gave you the remaining power. And then you unleashed the complete form of Susanoo."
"I never even got to enjoy it, while you used it to wreak havoc. And now you're complaining?"
"Seriously, I gave you these eyes. Do you even understand what you had?"
Kakashi suddenly felt happy.
So, in the future that Obito experienced, he had awakened Susanoo before Obito, and it was even the complete form.
Then there was nothing to worry about.
At this moment, Rin looked at Obito with admiration, "Obito, when you shared your past-life experiences of dominating the battlefield, I couldn't quite believe it before."
"But now I understand. So, this is how strong you really were. You just wiped out so many Kumogakure shinobi so easily."
Obito scratched his head, suddenly embarrassed, "Haha, of course! In the shinobi world, once your strength reaches a certain level, numbers no longer matter."
Minato nodded, "Indeed, in the form you were just in, if Susanoo's defense can withstand the Rasengan, even I wouldn't have a good countermeasure."
Obito spoke seriously, "Based on my experiences, there are a handful of people whose power surpasses what normal shinobi can comprehend."
"In factā¦ they can completely ignore numerical advantages and single-handedly destroy a major village."
"Such shinobi can no longer be measured by the five great villages' shinobi system."
"Perhaps we should define them asā¦ Super-Kage."
