Chapter – 524 When Overconfidence Bites Back

Crack!

At a distance of 300 meters away from the main battlefield where Tendo and Fujin are fighting, the ground cracked and a figure broke out of the ground under the cover of broken walls.

This figure is not someone else but Fujin.

Previously, when Tendo used an enhanced version of Shinra Tensei only the Bone Forest above the ground was destroyed, in actuality, there is still a densely packed network of roots made out of Bones spears under the ground which Fujin is using for travelling through the battlefield.

And, the figure currently fighting against Tendo, is not Fujin, but a Skeletal Clone of Fujin, meanwhile, the real Fujin has been hiding under the ground, waiting for Obito to take action in order to deal with Obito.

Although killing Obito is extremely difficult, and almost next to impossible, Fujin still wants to give it a try, and Fujin has a plan in mind.

Obito may have both Short Distance and Long Distance Kamui, and he may be able to use Kamui on anyone even from a long distance but to be able to use Kamui, he must first manifest himself in this dimension.

And as per Fujin's plan, the moment, Obito would manifest himself, Fujin would make a move… Which is now!

…

A little distance away from the place where the real Fujin broke out of the Ground.

Hearing the sound of Earth cracking not too far behind him, Tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito, who was in the process of using long Distance Kamui, to rescue Tendo, couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

After understanding what this meant, the corners of his lips arched in a mocking smirk.

"So, it turns that the real attack was directed towards me, while Tendo was just bait to lure me…"

Obito, who is good at sneak attacks, and playing conspiracy, obviously understood Fujin's thought process and planned to use Tendo as a cover in order to attack him, but Obito doesn't care… although, slightly surprised, Obito is still disdainful towards Fujin. After all, aside from short distance, and long-distance Kamui, there are skill methods like Mokuton and Susano'o that Obito can use to protect himself from Fujin.

Therefore, Obito is confident and disdainful towards Fujin.

But Fujin, who broke out of the ground, doesn't seem to care about Obito's disdain…

There was no need for nonsense, and Fujin used an extremely sharp Bone Blade and fiercely slashed it across Obito's back without a shred of hesitation.

Although he doesn't have much hope for this first attack to be successful, this still did not stop him from using all his strength order to be able to kill Obito, if possible, Fujin hopes that Obito remains too arrogant, a fool, and disdainful towards others, so that Fujin can successfully kill him!

Undoubtedly, the goal of Fujin from beginning to end was not Tendo.

Yahiko's corpse may be important, to Nagato, but it is of no significant value to Fujin, destroying it may be impactful on the other party, but is not worthy of Fujin's risk.

The real goal of Fujin has always been Obito wandering across the battlefield.

Yes, based on Fujin's understanding of Obito, Fujin knew that when Tendo used Super Shinra Tensei on Konoha, Obito did not evacuate from the battlefield, unlike other Akatsuki members, instead, Obito has been wandering across the battlefield with the help of his Kamui looking for a suitable opportunity to sneak attack on Fujin.

And when such a dangerous character is watching you from the dark, even Kuroto, who is controlling the Fujin Clone will feel uncomfortable and would have to be extremely vigilant against Obito's sneak attack.

It can be said that in current Konoha, aside from Hyuga Kuroto, and perhaps Hatake Kakashi who has started to master Flying Raijin, no other people, including Jiraiya who can use Sennin mode, Tsunade-hime who can use Ninja Art: Mitotic Regeneration: The Hundred Healing Jutsu, Might Guy who can use Eight Inner Gates Formation, and Sandaime-sama who current whereabouts are unaccounted for, can't resist Obito's Kamui.

Therefore, Obito must be given first priority… and should be dealt with as soon as possible.

But if Fujin wants to solve the problem of Obito, he must first force Obito to manifest himself, lest all attacks and preparation are useless. And when looking at the entire battlefield, Fujin can't think of anything aside from the distressed Tendo that can force Obito to take action.

The reason why the destress of Tendo can force Obito to take action is the importance of Tendo for Nagato and Konan.

Don't underestimate the importance of Yahiko's body for Nagato, and Konan, If Tendo were to be destroyed by Fujin under Obito's watch, and Obito didn't even make a move to save Tendo… it will inevitably detonate a major discord between Obito, and Nagato… and it wouldn't even be strange if Nagato and Konan were to completely turn their face from Obito.

If that were to happen, then a civil war between the Nagato faction and the Obito faction will also start.

Infighting in Akatsuki is something that Obito would not allow, at least not at this stage when there is such a great threat of Amatsukami, so he, who knows the bond between Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan would definitely not watch Tendo's destruction at the hands of Fujin.

Additionally, he, who can not only use short-distance and long-distance Kamui, but also use Mokuton, and Susano'o will naturally be overconfident in his abilities, so his vigilance towards Fujin's attack will naturally be weakened.

This is in Obito's character, who overestimates his abilities, and underestimates his opponent's abilities.

And Fujin wants to take advantage of this character flaw of Obito.

All actions of Fujin have been carried out based on this plan.

When being sealed by Chibaku Tensei, Fujin did not resist violently or used violent methods to break free, nor did he directly attack the core of Chibaku Tensei in advance, all for the purpose of paralyzing Nagato, and Obito's judgment, and drop their vigilance against him.

For this reason, he even took the risk of almost being sealed by Chibaku Tensei.

Fortunately, the Bone Blade which contains the Characteristics of All-Killing Ash Bones did not disappoint Fujin. It successfully destroyed the Core of Chibaku Tensei, allowing Fujin to break out of it much to Nagato and Obito's surprise.

And after coming out of Chibaku Tensei, Fujin did not give them an opportunity to think deeply and started a swift and violent offensive…

Additionally, he forced Tendo to use several big moves in order to enter a Cool Down Period so that Tendo would be a little panicked.

If you can't think deeply and analyze the situation, then you will act based on your inherent concepts, thoughts, and instincts.

If you can't calmly weigh the situation, things will get out of control, which will lead to panic, and you will make mistakes…

And Fujin intends to use these to his advantage.

So, at this moment, there is a very precarious situation on the battlefield for Akatsuki. In front of Tendo, and behind Obito, there are Bone Blades slashing.

How to choose depends on Obito.

If he were to save himself and give up on Tendo, then infighting with Akatsuki will start.

If he were to save Tendo and bears the damage upon himself, then even if he does not die, at least, one Kamui will be gone, (Fujin does not know that Obito has transplanted more Sharingan because they are being blocked through perception distorting Jutsu.)

Obito obviously understood Fujin's plan, so in the face of such a precarious situation, he did not choose to stop his long-distance Kamui on Tendo in order to save himself from Fujin's attack, nor did he have any intention of sacrificing himself, when faced with this shrewd attack of Fujin… not only was Obito, not panicked, instead, his lips arched in ridicule.

Immediately, a Blue Chakra gushed out of Obito's body and formed a Chakra Phantom around him.

Roar!

With a violent roar, Susano'o instantly took shape, protecting Obito from Fujin's attack.

His Mangekyou Sharingan may not be eternal but after months of training, Obito can instantly form Susano'o around him.

"Huh… now what are you going to do? In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are meaningless! The Susano'o of the Uchiha Clan is the ultimate defence… and it is not something that mere Kaguya Clan Shinobi can break!" said Obito in a provocative tone. When speaking so, he did not even bother to turn his head to look at Fujin… he was disdainful towards the other party!

After regaining his other eye, Obito is not afraid of anyone in this Shinobi world… not Nagato, not Yama, not Minato, not Homusubi, not Madara, and certainly not Fujin!

No matter how strong they are, they can not even touch him… there is no way for them to come in contact with the Kamui Dimension!

Not to mention, Obito can also use the Complete Body Susano'o with Wings on his back… so he has also made up for his shortcomings of lack of frontal attack methods… now he has no weaknesses!

But if Obito were to say such a sentence 'now, he has no weaknesses' to Fujin, Fujin would just snort coldly, and say, 'your biggest weakness is your overconfidence…' and show him practically like he intends to do now.

Just when Obito was too proud of himself and disdainful towards Fujin… a piercing and crisp sound resounded throughout the battlefield.

For some reason, a bad premonition surged in Obito's heart as soon as he heard this piercing sound.

Worried, Obito instantly turned his head back to see what was going on behind him.

But even before he turned his head completely, he saw a scene that stunned him completely.

The Bone Blade in Fujin's hand easily cut through the Susano'o as if a hot knife cutting through butter.

The ultimate defence of Susano'o was cut through instantly, and the Susano'o shattered without putting even a shred of resistance.

In fact, rather than putting resistance, in the face of Fujin's Bone Blade, the Susano'o was like a completely dead tree branch and instantly decayed in the face of Fujin's Bone Blade.

Realizing the absurdity of the situation, Obito's pupils shrank, and he can't help but exclaim, "This… what the hell? How is this possible?!"

But the only reply he got was the vague feeling of his body being cut in two halves.
