Chapter – 534 Senile Obito?

Whoosh

The red brilliance of the Totsuka Sword flashed again in the night sky, and immediately after that, the familiar sight of the destroyed village and messy battlefield again appeared before Fujin.

"Really escaped…?" muttered Fujin with a sigh of relief while burning the sight before him to confirm that he had really escaped the Sword of Totsuka, but before he had the opportunity to do anything else, an indescribable sense of tiredness swarmed Fujin's body, the very next instant he was completely paralyzed and lost control of his body.

Plop…

With a low muffled sound, Fujin fell to the ground head-on.

'No no no! Now I wouldn't be able to put any resistance…!' thought Fujin with a flustered expression, and he was really panicked at this moment.

Fujin knows that this loss of control over his body is mostly because of the outbreak of the Curse of the Kaguya Clan, as a result, the concentration of the toxin in Fujin's body has increased beyond what he can bear. The toxin has not only spread in all the organs but has also invaded the central nervous system of the Fujin Clone, so let alone extracting or condensing chakra, even blinking of eyelids is no longer for him.

If no measure is taken, then this clone would be beyond repair, and dead…

But that's not the main issue, the main issue is that Obito is just behind him…

Given the state of the Fujin Clone, a single move from Obito is more than enough to destroy this clone. Obito doesn't even need to use Ninjutsu, or any other large-scale attack, just a shuriken is more than enough.

Yes, as long as he throws a few shurikens towards Fujin, the clone would be destroyed!

Such worry had just risen in Fujin's heart and the very next second the figure of Obito appeared beside him.

Undoubtedly, Obito did not let go of the opportunity in that short instant and managed to escape through the gap in the seal of the Sword of Totsuka.

Feeling Obito's presence just behind him, Fujin's heart sank to the bottom.

'What to do? What to do?!' Fujin used almost all his brain cells; trying to think up a countermeasure that will help this clone survive, but couldn't think of anything! Nothing he could think would work!

This is the second time, Fujin felt such hopelessness and helplessness…

And while Fujin was hopeless and helpless, Obito who appeared beside him naturally discovered Fujin who had collapsed not far away and seemed to have lost all his mobility.

Looking at Fujin's figure lying 'helplessly' not far away from him, Obito felt anger from the bottom of his heart, and he roared at Fujin "Asshole! Do you want to use this trick again?!"

'Um? What's wrong with him?' thought Fujin in confusion.

"Do you think I will fall for the same trick again and again?" – Obito growled, his chakra riled up as a result of an outburst of his anger.

No way, Obito felt that his IQ has been greatly insulted by the members of Amatsukami!

He gritted his teeth and really wanted to punch these bastards of Amatsukami into a bloody pulp… But he restrained himself because he knows that Fujin and Homusubi are again trying to lead him into a trap…

So instead of going towards Fujin or attacking him, Obito immediately activated the Kamui to suck himself inside the Kamui Dimension and disappeared from the battlefield.

The speed and decisiveness of escape were so fast, that even Konoha's Yellow Flash might have been taken aback had he witnessed this scene.

Whew…

The night breeze blew…

Dust and smoke were rolled up…

"Huh?" Fujin who was ragging his brain for a possible solution was also taken aback by the incredulously strange action of Obito.

He didn't quite understand why Obito didn't take the opportunity to land the decisive blow and 'kill' him but chose to retreat… only a fool would do so… 'Has he finally gone senile or what?'

'Well, whatever…' Although doubtful, Fujin was still happy that Obito is a fool, and did not 'kill' this clone of Fujin. Now Fujin still has the option of repairing this clone and wouldn't have to waste time, money, and effort into recreating and cultivating another Wind Nature Clone.

With his mood recovered, Fujin immediately used the Tensei Soul Descend to transfer his soul out of the Fujin Clone.

And while Obito has disappeared and Fujin's soul had left the battle, Homusubi standing in the distance sighed helplessly… The reason for his helplessness is obviously the fact that the mysterious masked Uchiha also managed to escape from the seal of Sword of Totsuka along with Fujin.

Homusubi had already anticipated this result when he lifted the seal so he wasn't much surprised, just disappointed in himself.

If Homusubi had better control of the Sword of Totsuka, he could have prevented Fujin from being sealed inside it along with the mysterious masked Uchiha… and even if he couldn't have done that, he could have at least selectively unsealed Fujin out of the Gourd if he was proficient enough…

But no! Homusubi couldn't do either of these… Hell, he couldn't even prevent the mysterious masked Uchiha from escaping the seal after Fujin came out of it…

Homusubi already understands that the strength of the mysterious masked Uchiha who claims to be Uchiha Madara is stronger than him, after all, masked Uchiha can manifest the Complete Body Susano'o with wings on its back, so obviously the Visual Prowess of the other party is not only not weak, but is stronger compared to him.

Additionally, the masked Uchiha also has Hashirama Cells transplanted into his body, so his Chakra levels are simply monstrous…

When combining all these facts, theoretically, it is normal for the current Homusubi (Itachi) to be of no match to him as a result unable to present his escape…

But Homusubi is still disappointed in himself… because had he been strong enough, he could have solved the threat of the masked Uchiha once and for all… but he clearly isn't, thus he failed…

Of course, there was also the option of not allowing Fujin to come out of the seal of Sword of Totsuka which would have prevented the escape of the masked Uchiha and the two would have together died inside the seal… but Homusubi didn't consider that option for more than an instant…

After all, Homusubi (Itachi) is just a member of the Amatsukami Organization and therefore, has no right to decide the life and death of other members of the Organization.

On the other side, seeing Fujin collapse on the ground, Kurenai ran towards him with a flustered expression, and immediately urged, "Futen… Futen, are you okay…?"

Kuroto's soul is no longer in the Fujin clone body, so naturally, there was no response or movement.

But Kurenai doesn't know this and after receiving no response from Fujin; she immediately panicked… She gently shook Fujin's body and shouted, "Futen?! Futen?!" but no matter what, there was no response.

Seeing this scene, Homusubi (Itachi) also quickly walked over, and his face under the Homusubi mask had a dignified expression. He did not expect that Fujin's injuries would be so serious, and didn't know what to do for a while…

While both Homusubi (Itachi) and Kurenai were at a loss, suddenly, a calm voice came from the side, "Let me check his situation…"

Homusubi and Kurenai looked over and found that it was none other than Senju Tsunade, the best Medical-nin in the current Shinobi World who volunteered to check Fujin's situation.

Seeing that Tsunade was willing to help Fujin, Kurenai hurriedly stepped forward and begged her, "Tsunade-sama, please… please save him!"

Tsunade took a deep look at Kurenai and could easily guess the young girl's psychological state and feelings towards Fujin… But Tsunade chose to remain silent on that matter and did not comment anything.

Next, Tsunade walked towards Fujin who seemed to be lying lifelessly on the ground, and said to Homusubi, "I will treat him…"

Homusubi, who has already received Kuroto's (Shadow Clone) nod from the side nodded to Tsunade, "Then please…" and stepped aside…

Homusubi (Itachi) thought that it would be best to be treated by Tsunade, whose exploits in the field of medical science and Iryo Ninjutsu are impeccable in the current Shinobi World, while Kuroto (Shadow Clone) who knew the true cause of everything that has happened to the Fujin Clone wanted to see if Tsunade can treat the effects of the Curse of Kaguya Clan with her Iryo Ninjutsu.

Although Kuroto (Shadow Clone) doesn't have much hope in this regard, this is just a test in which Kuroto loses nothing.

Even if Tsunade is unable to treat the effects of the Curse of the Kaguya Clan, she would at least become curious about it, and perhaps might even make some kind of major breakthrough in her Iryo Ninjutsu after some research… which might also be beneficial to Kuroto in the future. Therefore, he had no issue in letting Tsunade give it a try.

With Homusubi's nod, Tsunade crouched down near Fujin and started to check his condition.

At the same time, a group of Konoha shinobi, including Jiraiya also approached the place where Tsunade was treating Fujin.

Everyone has seen how much Fujin has helped Konoha with all those fierce battles tonight. If it were not for Fujin's help, Satori, the monster that came out of the Box of Ultimate Bliss alone might have destroyed the Village, not to mention, there were still several other extremely strong members of the Akatsuki Organization that were dealt with by Fujin including Hiruko, Pain Rikudo, and the masked man who claims to be Uchiha Madara.

Nobody knows why Fujin helped Konoha to such an extent, the experienced ones believe that he might have some objective and reason behind Fujin's actions that they are unable to figure out for a while… but no matter the reason, the fact that Fujin helped Konoha in its most desperate time is still undeniable…

Therefore, even if many Konoha Shinobis are still wary of the other members of the Amatsukami Organization, they have no malice against Fujin. In fact, many Konoha Shinobi are very grateful to Fujin for everything he did and truly hope for Sannin Tsunade to save him.

After a while of analyzing, and treatment Tsunade's brows frown, and shock quickly became apparent on her face.

Jiraiya, who is quite familiar with Tsunade, hurriedly leaned forward, and quickly asked, "What's the status?"

After withdrawing her hands, Tsunade said with a solemn expression. "His body is damaged beyond recovery… His skeletal Structure has already been damaged completely, additionally, the cells in his body are dying faster than they are born… it's as if his life is being burned out…"

Homusubi (Itachi) asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Tsunade glanced at Itachi, and explained, "Well, what I mean is that no one can survive after their body is damaged to such an extent… normal people should have already died several times had they suffered such injuries…

I have only once seen someone's body being damaged to such an extent, and that was when Might Duy opened the Gate of Death and fought against the Seven Swordsmen of Mist on the battlefield of Kirigakure during the Third Great Shinobi War…

To be honest, I am highly surprised that he was able to continue fighting those fierce battles with such critical injuries…"

Jiraiya's expression turned into a frown, and he asked quickly, "Was Fujin also using the forbidden Technique of Eight Inner Gates?"

Tsunade shook her head, "No, I have already checked it, he wasn't using the Eight Inner Gates Formation… But the damage his body is suffering from is of a similar level… although not exactly the same, similar type…"

Kurenai asked anxiously, "You must be able to heal him, right?"

Tsunade shook her head, and sighed silently, "Unfortunately there is nothing I can do… This is beyond the scope of Iryo Ninjutsu…

His cells are dying at an extremely terrifying speed, and no one can survive that phenomenon. I am no exception to this… even my grandfather, the Shodaime Hokage, who was said to have a terrifying recovery rate is also no exception to this…

Now perhaps, only some kind of miracle can save him…"

Kurenai fell to the ground in despair, Jiraiya sighed silently while Itachi's expression under the Homusubi mask was stunned, he simply couldn't believe it… he clenched his fist and seemed to be undergoing some kind of emotional stimulation brought on by the 'death' of Fujin.

Seeing the changes in several people, Tsunade remained silent… and seemed to be thinking something.

There is one thing Tsunade did not mention to anyone, and that is the fact that her Iryo Ninjutsu doesn't seem to be effective on Fujin's body…

Tsunade is not sure what is the exact reason, but she did feel the presence of something in Fujin's body that was preventing her Iryo Ninjutsu from healing.

Tsunade quickly deduced that this 'something' is probably the cause of Fujin's approaching death, so out of her curiosity, and 'necessity' she did not forget to use her slugs to secretly collect some of Fujin's blood and tissues, in order to study and analyze them at a later date.

Of course, all of Tsunade's 'secret' actions were very clear to Kuroto (Shadow Clone), but he remained silent and said nothing.

After all, even Kuroto, himself hasn't found any solution to the curse of the Kaguya Clan, and if he wants to keep this clone preserved until he uses it for the Chimera Ritual in the future, then he needs all the help he can to deal with the Curse of Kaguya Clan…

If Tsunade can find a solution with her medical science and Iryo Ninjutsu that can restrain the damaging effects of the particles of All-Killing Ash Bones, then Kuroto is willing to ignore her small actions…

As for the possibility that Tsunade will be able to deduce the true identity of Fujin? Kuroto is not too worried about that issue…

And even if Tsunade can deduce that secret, Kuroto will still not be too worried… after all, what's the worst that can happen?

At best Shisui will have to use Kotoamatsukami on Tsunade to make her a loyal member of Amatsukami…

So, there is nothing to be worried about.

Inside a cave a few miles away from Konoha.

Suddenly, the eyelids of a sleeping person opened to reveal a pair of royal blue eyes that are clearly mysterious, yet beautiful.

This person is not someone else, but the main body of Hyuga Kuroto.

After Kuroto's soul came out of the Fujin Clone, the soul travelled towards this cave where the main body of Kuroto has been hidden.

Kuroto knew that Akatsuki Organization has targeted the Konoha village, so neither, the village, nor the locations around it are safe for storing his main body. Therefore, Kuroto created this temporary underground base in the remote area of the Land of Fire and used this place to hide his main body under the watch of the Sandaime Kazekage Puppet.

As for the question of why not use the Ancor Vantian for this purpose?

The answer is very simple… The aerial fortress floats above the sea area between the mainland and the Land of Water, in that case, if the main body was stored there, then it would take a lot of time for Kuroto to return to Konoha after changing his body… therefore, he used a nearby location, so that he can return to the village in a very short time.

After moving around his body for a little while, Kuroto muttered with a pleasant smile, "No matter what, my main body is still the most comfortable!"

The Fujin Clone is actually very comfortable and is perfectly adapted to Kuroto's soul, but as the effects of the Curse of the Kaguya Clan spread throughout the physical body, Kuroto's soul body also felt somewhat uncomfortable as controlling the body became more and more difficult.

But there is no such problem with his main body, therefore, Kuroto's soul feels extremely comfortable in the main body.

After getting rid of the soul exhaustion, Fujin quickly wore the Yama disguise and ordered the Kazekage Puppet to return to the Ancor Vantian.

While he, himself, activated the Tenseigan Chakra Mode and turned into a cyan streamer flying towards Konoha at an incredibly fast speed.
