Chapter 44: Brutally Beating the Three-Tails! Toying with Obito!

"Even if they collide, that tiny Tailed Beast Bomb will be knocked away!" Obito secretly hoped.

Bang!

The collision occurred with a dull sound. One was a massive Tailed Beast Bomb, now over a meter in diameter, and the other was only the size of two adult fists.

Then, to Obito's disbelief, the smaller Tailed Beast Bomb struck the larger one from below.

The immense force immediately sent the larger Tailed Beast Bomb flying diagonally into the sky, while the smaller one shot toward Obito's direction.

"Damn it!!!"

Obito's expression changed drastically in shock. He wasn't afraid of the Tailed Beast Bomb's attack, but he was astounded that Ishihara's Tailed Beast Bomb was genuine!

This was beyond belief.

"To think he learned the Tailed Beast Bomb just by seeing it once—this guy must die!"

Obito's face turned grim. The intelligence from Zetsu not only didn't exaggerate, it was actually too modest. Ishihara's comprehension was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

This was a huge threat to his Moon's Eye Plan, and Ishihara had to be killed now, leaving him no time to grow stronger.

Obito's eyes flashed with killing intent. "Yagura, cooperate with me next. I'm getting involved!"

"I understand!"

Yagura began forming another Tailed Beast Bomb and shot it out, colliding with the one returning toward them.

Boom!

The two Tailed Beast Bombs exploded in mid-air, unleashing a violent gust of wind.

On the other side, Ishihara sighed as he observed the aftermath.

"As expected, the power still isn't strong enough!"

Although his body had been enhanced through Sage Mode to a significant extent, allowing his chakra to vastly increase, it still wasn't enough to match a true Tailed Beast.

But this was sufficient!

Ishihara exhaled; his goal was merely to stop the Three-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb.

With this, his shadow clone had enough time to act.

"Now then, let's have some fun."

Ishihara suddenly activated his Lightning Flash Step, his entire body bursting forward like a bolt of lightning.

Whoosh!

A blue streak rapidly approached the Three-Tails, slicing through the raging shockwaves.

Through his Byakugan, Ishihara had already identified Obito's true identity.

"So, he's disguised as an Anbu member?"

Ishihara sneered internally.

However, Obito was unaware of how glaring his body, infused with Hashirama cells and chakra, was under the Byakugan's view.

As he approached the Three-Tails, Ishihara began rapidly forming hand seals.

"Let's see how you like being buried underground!"

"Sage Art: Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide!"

Rumble!!

The ground beneath the Three-Tails and Obito began to tremble violently, cracking open as the earth rolled up, forming a massive crevice beneath them.

The Three-Tails' enormous body had no time to move and was plunged into the depths of the crevice.

Obito quickly relocated, standing atop the elevated ground, eyeing Ishihara with uncertainty.

"Has he discovered me?!"

Obito didn't understand the reason, but he knew what to do next.

Since he was exposed, there was no need to hide anymore.

Obito coldly stared at Ishihara but didn't make a move, wary of the speed granted by Lightning Flash Step.

"Shadow Stroke!"

Yagura's furious voice echoed from the crevice. The Three-Tails' body curled up like a hedgehog and began spinning rapidly, emerging from the pit like a spinning tire.

In mid-air, Yagura coldly declared, "Brat, I'm going to kill you!"

Slash!

A blue figure suddenly appeared before the Three-Tails, causing its pupils to shrink.

"How fast!!"

Ishihara clenched his fist at his waist, gathering a large amount of chakra and natural energy around it, then unleashed it with a powerful punch!

"It's not just speed!"

"Sage Art: Super Strength!"

Bang!!!

A deafening boom echoed.

A massive shockwave exploded in the air.

The enormous body of the Three-Tails was sent flying instantly.

"This guy's strength is terrifying. I absolutely can't let him hit me directly!"

Obito frowned.

The Three-Tails wasn't just large; it was the heaviest of all the Tailed Beasts, yet it had been sent flying with a single punch.

This strength was beyond belief.

"Now it's your turn, you sneaky bastard!"

In mid-air, Ishihara slowly descended, his cold gaze locked onto Obito.

"Arrogant!"

Obito's face turned ugly as his killing intent surged.

He feared Ishihara's talent and comprehension, knowing that the longer Ishihara lived, the greater the threat he posed.

Thus, he knew he had to kill Ishihara now, before Ishihara discovered his abilities.

Once his abilities were exposed, Obito couldn't predict the consequences.

But he was clear on one thing—Ishihara had to die now, and the sooner, the better!

Without a word, Obito drew a kunai, his eyes cold as he charged directly at the descending Ishihara.

Ishihara's gaze flickered slightly, as he anticipated Obito's move.

He smirked coldly. "Too slow!"

He then stomped on the ground with force.

Boom!

The ground exploded.

The immense recoil propelled Ishihara forward like a rocket, bringing him face to face with Obito, who froze, his eyes locked onto Ishihara's cold, piercing gaze.

"Die!!"

Ishihara threw a punch.

"Sage Art: Super Strength!"

Boom!!!

The combination of extreme speed and immense power!

The force of the punch blasted the air, creating a shockwave that exploded like a sonic boom.

The violent energy made Obito's pupils contract.

He sneered inwardly, "Indeed strong, whether it's strength or speed, few can match this in the ninja world. But what's the point of a powerful attack if it doesn't hit the target?"

In the next instant.

Whoosh!

Ishihara's punch passed through Obito's body, directly piercing through him.

Immediately after, Obito's body phased through Ishihara, turning to grab him, delighted inside.

"I've won!"

As long as he grabbed Ishihara, he could drag him into the Kamui dimension.

At that moment, his victory was assured.

But the next moment.

"I already told you, you're too slow!"

Ishihara's icy voice sent a shiver down Obito's spine.

He turned to see Ishihara, already facing him, staring with a mocking glint in his eyes.

"This is bad!!!"

"Did he already figure out my ability?!"

"Was this a trap?!"

Ishihara's cold gaze locked onto Obito, his movements swift as lightning, slicing toward Obito.

Slash!

A severed arm flew into the air.
