Chapter 52: Spoils of War

Flying Thunder God?

Hearing Obito's words, the ANBU next to Shishou and Ao in the distance were shocked.

They never expected that the person in front of them would know Konoha's Flying Thunder God technique.

Could he be from Konoha?

Ao frowned as he looked at Shishou.

"I'll remember you."

Uchiha Obito, seeing Shishou looking at him with contempt, became even angrier, leaving a harsh threat before entering the Kamui space.

He wasn't sure what was on Shishou, making him wary of physical contact.

Moreover, the presence of the Flying Thunder God rendered his Kamui ineffective.

In the next second, Obito quietly extended a hand from the Kamui space, pressing it onto the ground.

Countless vines burst from the ground, attacking Shishou from all directions.

"Tsk, how sneaky!"

With a Flying Thunder God teleportation, Shishou left his original position, even rescuing the nearby Mist ANBU.

If it weren't for the dynamic vision of the Sharingan, Shishou might have been caught by Obito's sneak attack.

But with the Mangekyo Sharingan, Shishou saw the incoming vines clearly at the moment of the attack.

Although Shishou's Flying Thunder God couldn't yet perform the ultra-long-distance multi-line support like the Fourth Hokage due to the lack of sensory techniques, paired with the dynamic vision of the Sharingan, his performance in close combat wasn't much different from the Fourth Hokage.

And he wore specially-made contact lenses every day, allowing him to use the Sharingan without anyone noticing.

Wood Release!

In the distance, Ao and Mei Terumi were stunned, not expecting this mysterious person to use Wood Release.

Seeing that his sneak attack failed,

Obito appeared on top of the Three-Tails Isobu.

"This..."

Seeing the figure on top of the Three-Tails, Mei Terumi quickly retreated.

"Is the Fourth Mizukage really being controlled?"

An old man arrived with a group of ninjas, looking at the figure on the Three-Tails' head with a pained expression.

"Lord Elder, you shouldn't have come here."

Mei Terumi shouted at the elder, who came to support.

"Hahaha, today, I will make Kirigakure pay!"

"Hahahahaha."

Standing on top of the Three-Tails, Uchiha Obito's tone was crazed as he laughed maniacally.

Rin, today I'll make Kirigakure your grave!

The Mangekyo Sharingan in Obito's eyes spun rapidly, and the Three-Tails Isobu under him opened its mouth, a dark purple ball quickly forming within.

Tailed Beast Bomb!

Seeing the dark purple sphere in the Three-Tails' mouth, Mei Terumi was horrified.

She knew about the Tailed Beast Bomb.

Gritting her teeth, Mei Terumi formed hand seals, preparing to intercept the Tailed Beast Bomb with her life.

Because the Three-Tails was aiming at Kirigakure, if it successfully launched, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Does he have to be so cruel?

Shishou rolled his eyes, speechless at Obito's psychopathic tendency to vent his anger on innocent people.

With a wave of his hand, dozens of insect clones mimicking flies were scattered around the Three-Tails.

Boom!

The massive Tailed Beast Bomb in the Three-Tails' mouth was finally complete and shot towards Kirigakure.

"Hahaha, die, all of you!"

Obito stood on top of the Three-Tails, laughing maniacally.

"It's over."

The elder and the others looked at the Tailed Beast Bomb in the sky, their hearts filled with despair.

"We must stop it!"

Mei Terumi pushed her body to its limits, gathering all her chakra to intercept it.

Water Release: Water Formation Wall!

Boom, boom!!!

A violent explosion sounded, almost deafening Shishou.

A massive shockwave followed, bringing with it a severed leg.

With a Flying Thunder God, Shishou appeared behind Mei Terumi.

Mei Terumi's Water Formation Wall, formed with all her chakra, intercepted the shockwave from the Tailed Beast Bomb, protecting Kirigakure's people.

Mei Terumi collapsed, and Shishou, who had been waiting, caught her in his arms.

"Cough, cough."

Mei Terumi coughed a few times, struggling to look at the undamaged Kirigakure in the distance, tears of relief streaming down her face.

The next second, Mei Terumi and the others looked ahead and saw the Three-Tails enveloped in the giant fireball created by the Tailed Beast Bomb.

"???"

Mei Terumi and the other Kirigakure ninjas were collectively dumbfounded.

The Tailed Beast Bomb didn't explode in the village, nor on Mei Terumi's Water Formation Wall.

How did it explode on the Three-Tails?

A few minutes later,

"It's you!"

Uchiha Obito emerged from the Kamui space, glaring at Shishou.

His mask was half-shattered, revealing a ferocious face.

Now, not only was his right hand gone, but his right leg was also missing, looking extremely miserable.

If it weren't for the strong vitality of the Hashirama cells in half his body,

he might have died unexpectedly.

Seeing Obito's condition, Shishou was a bit surprised.

With Kamui, he should have been able to avoid such a fate.

Thinking it over, Shishou suddenly understood.

The massive Tailed Beast Bomb was like a small nuclear bomb, creating extreme heat that lasted for several minutes after the explosion.

Obito's Kamui intangibility couldn't last that long, forcing him to enter the Kamui space before the Tailed Beast Bomb exploded.

To enter Kamui, Obito had to become tangible, hence he got caught in the explosion.

Understanding this, Shishou mocked him without mercy:

"Knowing I have the Flying Thunder God, you still dared to use the Tailed Beast Bomb in front of me."

"Are you an idiot?"

He had scattered insect clones to place Flying Thunder God marks in the air.

With the dynamic vision of the Mangekyo Sharingan, he managed to redirect the Tailed Beast Bomb onto the Three-Tails.

Since his Flying Thunder God wasn't perfected and had a one-second cooldown, he used a Shadow Clone instead.

Yes, the Shadow Clone was taught by Yugao Uzuki.

Hearing their conversation, the Kirigakure ninjas looked at Shishou with immense gratitude.

Mei Terumi, held in Shishou's arms, stared at him, her heartbeat inexplicably quickening.

"Cough, cough."

Obito coughed up blood, obviously enraged by Shishou.

Glaring at Shishou, Obito retreated into the Kamui space.

He was severely injured and needed immediate treatment.

"Roar!!!"

Despite taking a full Tailed Beast Bomb, the Three-Tails, with its strong defense and vitality, only appeared battered but not fatally wounded.

Roaring, it quickly ran away.

Mei Terumi wanted to get up and chase, but her body was too weak.

The elder and the others wanted to pursue, but they didn't have the strength to stop it.

Shishou wanted to chase but had no reason to.

With Kirigakure watching, it wouldn't be appropriate for an outsider like him to take action.

So, for a moment, they could only watch as the Three-Tails ran further away until it disappeared.

"Miss, how long do you plan to hold onto me?"

"Although I enjoy the feeling of a soft fragrance in my arms, there are many people watching."

Seeing the Three-Tails leave, Shishou looked at Mei Terumi with a grin.

"I'm completely exhausted. Can't you hold me a bit longer?"

Mei Terumi rolled her eyes at Shishou, struggling to stand up from his embrace.

Shishou, standing at 180 cm, was tall, handsome, and extremely powerful.

He had just saved the entire Kirigakure.

He was the perfect marriage candidate for Mei Terumi.

If it weren't for the crowd, she wouldn't have wanted to leave his embrace.

The only thing that bothered her was Shishou's thick beard.

So ugly!

"Wait a moment."

Seeing the Kirigakure people approaching to thank him, Shishou spoke up.

He then used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly collect the severed hand and leg of the defeated boss, Obito, sealing them in a scroll.

He also collected several pieces of the Three-Tails' shell from the explosion site.

After finishing, he returned to be surrounded by Mei Terumi and the others, entering Kirigakure.

...

Elsewhere, the Three-Tails ran to a secluded valley, its body gradually shrinking until it turned into the Fourth Mizukage Yagura.

Having been freed from the genjutsu control by the impact of the Tailed Beast Bomb,

he knew he had caused a great disaster and couldn't face Mei Terumi and the others.

Hiding in the shadows, tears streamed down his face as he muttered in guilt:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
