Chapter – 516 Obito Makes His Move

Hokage Building.

"Hokage-sama, 1 suspicious individual with the Rinnegan pattern has appeared in the Western District!"

"Hokage-sama, 2 suspicious individuals with the Rinnegan pattern have appeared in the Eastern District!"

"Hokage-sama, 2 suspicious individuals with the Rinnegan pattern have appeared in the Southern District!"

One by one Konoha Anbu flashed inside the Hokage Office and reported the latest news about the sudden appearance of the new members of the Akatsuki Organization to Sandaime Hokage.

Sandaime asked with a calm face, "Describe the appearance of the suspicious individuals."

The Anbu nodded and immediately described the appearance of the suspicious individuals with the Rinnegan pattern in the eye.

After listening to the detailed description of their appearance, Sandaime muttered, "Each of them has the Rinnegan, either they have orange hair or they are bald… and each of them has Black piercings on their faces? It seems that these are just the new puppets of Nagato… What were they called? Pain Rikudo!"

Although the last raid against Akatsuki Organization at Amegakure failed, the villages still managed to gather a lot of information about their enemies, such as Rinnegan and Pain Rikudo of Nagato, Wood Release, and Space-time Jutsu of 'Tobi' (according to Sandaime's knowledge because he is not yet aware that the name Tobi has been given to someone else), Paper Control of Konan, et cetera, et cetera.

And using this intelligence, suitable combat strategies have been developed by Sandaime Hokage after various consultations with Nara Shikaku, the think tank of Konoha.

So, after groaning for a while, Sandaime instructed the Captain of his Anbu guard, "Notify the four Kage to be ready to move at any moment."

Although Nagato has not yet made his appearance on the battlefield in person, the appearance of Pain Rikudo shows that he is somewhere nearby and has already made his move, therefore, the Gokage must be ready to move out at the instant Yamanaka Inoichi locate the position of Nagato.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!" The captain of Hokage's Anbu Guard nodded, and disappeared.

…

On the battlefield.

Hearing the sudden roars, of the several Summon Beasts, and multiple explosions that suddenly increased, Fujin realized that Nagato has also made his shot, so Fujin slightly slowed down the offensive on Hiruko and increased his own vigilance against a sneak attack from Nagato and Obito.

And while Fujin became cautious, the tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito who was hidden far away muttered with a smirk, "I got you!"

The very next instant, a spatial distortion suddenly appeared on Fujin's back without any warning and began to engulf him inside the Kamui dimension.

'Kamui?!' The familiar feeling of tearing and paralyzing sensation instantly shocked Fujin, and reminded him that Obito has also made his move on him.

Even if Fujin had been Psychologically prepared, and even if he had been wary of it, when the attack really came to him, no matter how hard he fought, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

While trying to resist the tearing sensation, Fujin instantly located several chakra signatures in his Byakugan vision.

But at this moment, Fujin didn't have enough to be able to distinguish which of these Chakra signatures is the real hiding position of Obito, because the time in his hands to be able to break free of Kamui is as short as one-to-two seconds… If Fujin doesn't get rid of Obito's Kamui within this short period of one-to-two seconds, the end will be self-evident.

The distortion of the body became more and more serious, the numbness caused because of being pushed into another time-space filled Fujin's entire body making him unable to freely control his body.

This feeling is stronger compared to the last time he fought against Obito at Kirigakure, which obviously means that Obito's mastery of Kamui has increased several times since he regained his other eye!

Facing such a dilemma, Fujin can't help but consider a possibility, 'Should this one abandon himself (the Fujin Clone Body)?'

But this thought was instantly rejected by Fujin, 'No, this one won't abandon himself!'

After making up his mind, Fujin's expression became serious, he suppressed the anxiety in his heart, let go of all his thoughts, and a strong will to fight back ignited in his heart.

'Shikotsumyaku: Dance of the Seedling Fern!'

Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom

Accompanied by the tremors of earth, Fujin unreservedly used one of the strongest Secret Jutsu of the Kaguya Clan.

Instantly, one after another, countless bone spears pierced through the ground and appeared on the battlefield.

One of these Bone Spears came out of the ground beneath Fujin's feet and directly pierced through and wrapped around his distorted body that was about to be engulfed inside the Kamui Dimension.

After his body merged into the Bone Spear, the very next instant Fujin travelled through the Bone Spear and changed his position in order to escape the area that was about to be engulfed by the Bone Spear.

Crack…

At this instant, Kamui was complete… Looking at it from the side, a spiral cavity appeared on the original tough Bone Spear, and this cavity is exactly the position where Fujin was standing an instant ago.

Under the stripping of Kamui, the Bone Spear had no resistance at all and was directly broken.

Hidden in the shadows, the tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito frowned when he looked at this scene.

When Fujin initially used the Dance of the Seedling Fern, tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito felt that something was wrong and he was puzzled why Fujin used this Jutsu, at the same time, he is also confused about how Fujin can use Dance of the Seedling Fern at such a fast speed. It didn't take even an instant since the Kamui was launched and a complete Bone Forest was erected on the battlefield!

'Damn it, the first sneak attack failed, I should have gotten a bit closer and then used Kamui on him!' thought tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito with a regrettable expression, after all, the first sneak attack is the most deadly and dangerous, but now that the enemy knows that he is here, so obviously Fujin will be prepared for the next set of offensive. At the same time, he did not expect that Fujin would use such an approach to escape Kamui.

Ever since he retrieved his other eye from Kakashi, tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito has better understood his Dojutsu: Kamui. Although the Kamui of his right eye can be used to transfer things to the Kamui dimension, the time it takes to transfer things to the Kamui dimension will be affected by the distance.

The farther he is from the target, the more time it will take for the transfer.

In the sneak attack just now, tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito stood about 500 meters away from Fujin, so the speed was quite slow and took about two to three seconds.

Although, two to three seconds is not a very long time period, and would definitely kill most of the Shinobi, however, Fujin because of his fast reaction speed, and extremely quick thinking is able to dodge it.

'Sigh, it looks like this battle wouldn't be easy.' Sighed tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito then focused on Fujin and the surrounding Bone Forest.

The Bone Forest that kept rising from the ground almost frightened everyone on the battlefield.

One after another, extremely sharp and strong Bone Spear sprouted out of the ground…

Unfortunately for Fujin, Hiruko with his extremely fast speed granted to him by Swift Release managed to dodge the Bone Spears with some difficulty, of course, looking at his panicked expression, it can be assumed that he has probably already developed a Psychological Shadow against these Bone Spears and is really afraid to face them.

Of course, Konoha Shinobi was also panicked. They were afraid that they too would die because of these Bone Spears, but strangely enough, the Bone Spears did not grow out of the position where Konoha Shinobi stood, it was as if these Bone Spears were deliberately avoiding them, which made them understood that the member of Amatsukami does not intend to target them and relieved them of a lot of their worries.

After calming down, everyone looked at each other.

From the moment, Fujin was suddenly attacked by some sort of distortion in the void, to the moment when Fujin used Dance of the Seedling Fern to escape the attack and then the appearance of this Bone Forest, the whole process was completed in only a few seconds, so most of the people are unable to judge what exactly happened all of a sudden and where did the attack come from.

At this time, Jiraiya who has already entered the Sennin Mode informed everyone, "A new enemy has appeared, and it is the guy who uses some kind of weird Space-Time Jutsu along with Mokuton… Be vigilant!"

Jiraiya is extremely familiar with the intelligence, of the members of the Akatsuki Organization, so the moment the void distortion appeared around Fujin he immediately recognized the identity of the enemy, and after confirming his guess with Hyuga Kuroto/Watatsumi (Shadow Clone), he instantly informed everyone.

After receiving Jiraiya's warning, all the Konoha Shinobi, including Tsunade and Hyuga Kuroto/Watatsumi Shadow Clone immediately hid their bodies, as they did not want to be targeted by Kamui.

Jiraiya went towards Tsunade and said, "We can't be passive now that another enemy has appeared, I will support Fujin, and you will be my backup!"

Tsunade nodded heavily, "All right!"

The current situation is disadvantageous for Fujin, two Akatsuki members are already on the field. Although Fujin is extremely strong, other members of Amatsukami should also be hidden somewhere and observing the situation, no matter what, as Konoha Shinobi, Jiraiya and Tsunade can't sit still. They must also take action as they absolutely do not allow Konoha to be mere spectators in a war fought in Konoha.

…

The other side of Bone Forest.

While panting deep breaths, Hiruko recovered a little from his injuries and roared loudly in the direction of tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito, "Why are you here? I am the one who is going to kill the BASTARD!"

Listening to Hiruko's roar, there was no response from tomoe-masked-DMS-Obito, as he was busy searching for Fujin's location.

Seeing that he was being completely ignored, Hiruko could only grit his teeth in frustration, and clench his fist in anger!

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Hiruko had to accept the fact that when put in a one-vs-one confrontation against Fujin, he is not strong enough to be able to defeat Fujin.

Facts have proven that he will have to join forces with this so-called 'Madara' person in order to deal with Fujin.

Of course, Hiruko knows that with the help of 'Madara' dealing with Fujin will be extremely easy… after all, 'Madara' is definitely the second strongest person in the Akatsuki Organization. And in Hiruko's opinion, although, Fujin's strength is a bit too outrageous, the opponent often vomits blood and stops midway as if he is paralyzed. Therefore, Hiruko can judge that Fujin's body definitely has some kind of problem, so as long as he and 'Madara' join forces, they can resolve Fujin in the shortest amount of time.

Just after Hiruko's words fell, Fujin's half-body suddenly appeared out of the Bone Spear behind Hiruko, and without wasting any time in speaking nonsense, he directly slashed the Bone Blade in his hands.

The sharp Bone Blade glowing with cold light was slashed across Hiruko's neck.

Slash!

As soon as the Bone Blade ran across Hiruko's neck, blood splashed out, and the very instant, Hiruko's–angered and shocked head–was cleaved off his torso and fell on the ground.

Plop!

With the muffled sound, Hiruko's severed head fell to the ground, at the same time, Fujin retracted his figure back into the Bone Spear without leaving behind any trace.

Once Dance of the Seedling Fern is used, the entire Bone Forest becomes an extension of Fujin's body, his Chakra Covers the entire Bone Forest so finding his exact position becomes an impossible task even for the Byakugan and Sharingan users.

In such a scenario unless Kamui or any other attack can sweep the entire Bone Forest at once, otherwise defeating him would be extremely difficult. The numerical advantage is meaningless here. Because the base strength of the Fujin Clone is very high, and he is not afraid of anyone below the level Rikudo Level(Six Path Class), fighting against one or fighting against a hundred is one and the same thing.
