Boom!!!
A thunderous collision shook the battlefield. The chaotic whirlpool of Kamui surged violently, dragging the explosive torrent and the wooden dragon's body into its depths.
"Long battles are unfavorable. Full power, quick resolution—let's end this now!"
Whoosh! Naruto deactivated his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and used his own chakra to unleash twenty chains of Adamantine Sealing Chains, binding Obito's Susano'o from all directions.
Obito's eyes narrowed. "This... It's the same ability as Kushina's!!"
Boom!!
With Susano'o restrained, the wooden golem leaped into the air, its massive hand gripping Susano'o's throat and slamming it forcefully to the ground!
"Damn it!!"
Obito's left eye focused on the wooden golem's head.
Kamui!!
Snap!! The wooden golem's head was twisted off and sucked into the dimensional space.
But in that instant, Naruto, now clad in Susano'o, descended. In the hands of Susano'o, a gray spiral blade materialized.
Naruto shouted, "This is the divine blade, Great Sun Sakui no Tsurugi. It doesn't have any special abilities—except being absolutely indestructible!!!"
Crack!
The tip of the Great Sun Sakui no Tsurugi pierced the forehead of Susano'o. Cracks spread across its surface as the spiral blade rotated at high speed, drilling into its interior!
Whoosh!
Obito switched to his intangibility mode to evade and escaped from Susano'o. His left eye locked onto the chains binding Susano'o's arms.
Kamui!
Snap!
The chains were torn apart, and the freed arm of Susano'o began to condense a pitch-black magatama.
Naruto's pupils contracted sharply. "That's the Nine-Tails Kamui Magatama!!"
Naruto had already experienced the terrifying power of the magatama in their previous battle. It was an attack that phased through everything, making it impossible to block. The magatama relentlessly pursued its target, and Naruto had only escaped last time by using the Flying Thunder God Technique to retreat.
Swoosh!
The Nine-Tails Kamui Magatama was hurled directly at Naruto!
Naruto deactivated Susano'o, cloaked himself in lightning, and swiftly dodged. The magatama adjusted its trajectory to follow him.
A flicker of doubt crossed Naruto's eyes. "Why? This time, Obito hasn't set up a barrier to restrict my Flying Thunder God Technique. In other words, he knows I can escape with it. So why is he still using this move?"
Naruto kept a close eye on Obito in the distance. He saw Obito covering his left eye, as if preparing something.
"Could it be..." A thought struck Naruto, and he began to suspect something.
Swoosh!
The Nine-Tails Kamui Magatama closed in on him.
Without hesitation, Naruto used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape!
"Naruto," Obito murmured to himself, "for an entire day, I used Datonabe, simulating over ten thousand battles with you. Through endless combat, my Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan has finally given birth to a new ocular technique. But with my current strength, I only have one chance. This is the ultimate move I've prepared just for you—an absolute kill!"
Through the gap between his fingers, Obito's trembling eye focused on the spot where Naruto had just disappeared.
Yumotoryu!!
Whoosh!
A white vortex spun, and Naruto, who had just escaped, reappeared at his original position in an instant!
His face was filled with shock. "This... This is—"
Obito, pale but triumphant, declared, "Yumotoryu—a time-reversal ocular technique. You can't escape!!!"
Snap!!
The Nine-Tails Kamui Magatama struck Naruto's body.
Whoosh! The swirling vortex of Kamui dragged Naruto into the dimensional space.
Boom!
The complete form of Susano'o shattered and dissipated.
Obito tilted his head back, exhaling in relief. "Finally... it's over."
Crackle!
Suddenly, lightning flashed behind him—it was Naruto, launching a surprise attack!
Swoosh!
Obito immediately activated his intangibility mode.
In his astonishment, countless possibilities flashed through Obito's mind. "How is this possible!? Did he use Izanagi? Impossible! He was genuinely pulled into the dimensional space. A shadow clone? No, the Nine-Tails Kamui Magatama can distinguish the real body; it couldn't have been replaced by a clone or substitution technique!!"
Naruto's lightning-cloaked hand remained in constant overlap with Obito's intangible body.
Amid his methodical assault, Naruto's gaze was deep and steady. "It's the Second Tsuchikage's Splitting Technique. It requires no hand seals and allows instant division into two entities. Both are considered the main body. The one pulled into the dimensional space was my split body. The moment I split, I immediately used Dustless Maze to conceal myself!"
"Also," Naruto continued, "I know this: in your intangibility mode, the position of your body in the dimensional space changes with a time delay. After my split body was pulled in, I launched my attack immediately. Obito, you understand what this means, don't you?"
Inside the dimensional space of Kamui.
Obito, having been transferred there after being attacked, found himself face-to-face with Naruto's split body.
Obito's expression darkened. "You know the secret of my Yumotoryu!?"
Otherwise, there was no way to explain Naruto's terrifying adaptability.
Naruto's split body, however, responded coldly, "No, I don't. I just felt something was off. I assumed you'd have a contingency plan, so I stayed vigilant."
Slash!
The lightning-covered hand of Naruto's split body sliced across Obito's chest!
Slash!
In the outside world, a gash appeared on Obito's chest, blood spraying into the air.
Banshō Ten'in!
Whoosh! Naruto's left hand used gravitational force to pull the blood droplets toward him.
Swoosh!
At that moment, Zetsu (Tobi) launched a sneak attack from behind with his Brain Inserting Technique.
Naruto coldly extended his right hand backward.
Shinra Tensei!
Boom!!
Zetsu was repelled by the gravitational force.
Whoosh!
Simultaneously, the gravitational pull gathered Obito's blood into a sphere in Naruto's left palm. Calmly, he retrieved a vial and sealed the blood inside.
Swoosh!!
Obito, wounded, distanced himself from Naruto.
Whoosh! To avoid further complications, he released Naruto's split body from the dimensional space.
Swoosh!!
The split body returned to the main body's side, merging back into it. With the fusion complete, Naruto's chakra was fully restored.
Naruto sighed with a hint of lingering fear. "The split body is different from a clone; it can't be dispelled on its own. If Obito had recklessly trapped my split body in the dimensional space, it would have permanently restricted half of my power!"
"That was truly dangerous!"
In the moment between life and death, Naruto had taken a gamble—and won.
Naruto warned coldly, "Obito, your blood is in my hands! You can go hunting in Amegakure, but for every time you do, I'll have Hidan stab a hole in you, ensuring your death!"
Obito knew that the moment his blood was taken, the tide had turned against him.
"Earlier," he thought, "he could've killed me, but he only injured me. Was it because he feared his split body would never return? Or was it..."
Whoosh!
With that lingering doubt, Obito's body vanished into the swirling vortex of Kamui.
"Fine," he muttered. "I'll admit you're the better one this time, Naruto Uzumaki. But mark my words—next time will be our final battle!"
Whoosh! The vortex closed, and both Obito and Zetsu disappeared from the battlefield.
The third showdown between Naruto Uzumaki and Obito Uchiha ended with Naruto's victory.
Whoosh!
Naruto released the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. Only after confirming there were no lingering threats did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Obito's potential is terrifying. I need to quickly address my weaknesses in senjutsu..."
