Chapter 110: Replicating Kamui! The Death of the Tailed Beast!
---
Uchiha Clan Territory.
Ishihara stood silently, gazing toward the battle between the Nine-Tails and the Konoha shinobi. Outwardly, he appeared calm, but in reality, his eyes were vacant, his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning furiously.
The secret technique for activating the Mangekyō had reached its peak!
After numerous trial-and-error attempts using Yin-Yang Release, he had finally simulated a special chakra that complemented his ocular power—eye power, to be precise. Right now, his unique internal organ and his Mangekyō Sharingan were rapidly intensifying under the stimulation of this ocular technique.
Buzz—
Suddenly, this intensification seemed to hit a limit and stopped completely.
Ishihara exhaled deeply, his gaze becoming lively once more, his face filled with joy.
The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan—achieved!
Interestingly, the pattern of his Mangekyō Sharingan had not changed and remained as it was. However, the eye power was now vastly superior to before! Even his chakra reserves had grown.
"So, this is the Eternal Mangekyō," he murmured, marveling at the immense ocular power in both his eyes.
More importantly, he could now unleash various Mangekyō techniques without restraint. Though he could cast them as secret techniques, using the Eternal Mangekyō would make them even more powerful.
The benefits of his decision to reinforce the three core abilities of the Sharingan were now apparent. His Eternal Mangekyō boasted the Byakugan's level of insight, superior genjutsu capabilities, and the ability to copy any ninjutsu and bloodline limit!
The gains were significant.
A smile appeared on Ishihara's face.
Suddenly, his expression tightened as he turned toward a specific direction.
Boom!!!
A massive surge of chakra erupted from afar, radiating without restraint. A solitary figure stood tall in the distance.
"The First Hokage!"
Ishihara's eyes narrowed as he looked at the figure, his brows furrowing slightly.
He hadn't expected that Obito had managed to retrieve the First Hokage.
And this time, the aura was markedly different—far more potent than before!
He turned his gaze to Obito, who was standing beside the First Hokage, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Swish!
In an instant, Ishihara used the Body Flicker Technique, appearing next to Obito and the First Hokage.
Obito smirked, "Ishihara, you're late!"
"Not at all. You don't really think the First Hokage can defeat me, do you?"
Ishihara glanced at the First Hokage, who was observing the Nine-Tails' direction, and gave a mocking smile.
"Perhaps," Obito replied nonchalantly, unconcerned whether the First Hokage could win or not—he just wanted to buy time.
"Shall I guess your objective?"
"You don't care if Hashirama can defeat me, so you're using him to stall me, right?"
"If you're planning something while I'm occupied, there are only two likely targets—Konoha or the Mist Village."
"Whatever it is, you're probably hoping to take action in one of those places while I'm tied up here."
Ishihara's voice was calm, yet Obito was startled—his plan had been completely exposed.
But he maintained a composed expression, saying, "Think whatever you want!"
Suddenly, Ishihara's brow arched as he shot Obito a taunting smile.
Obito felt a chill, snapping, "Damn it, what are you smiling about?"
"Yagura, the Three-Tails jinchūriki, has gone missing," Ishihara remarked casually.
Obito's face changed slightly, though he tried to keep his expression calm. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Ishihara formed a hand sign, creating a Wood Clone, and vanished, saying, "Perhaps you don't know, but I've placed a space-time ninjutsu mark on both the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails jinchūriki!"
"The moment the Three-Tails disappeared, I sensed it!"
"First the Nine-Tails, and now the Three-Tails—you're targeting the tailed beasts, aren't you?"
Ishihara was slightly surprised at Obito's actions. He hadn't expected Obito to start gathering the tailed beasts early, initiating the Eye of the Moon plan.
Obito's face darkened as he remembered the Wood Clone that had just departed. He asked in a low voice, "What are you planning?"
"Killing the Six-Tails," Ishihara replied calmly.
The Six-Tails jinchūriki in the Mist Village was already unstable. Yagura had been diverting part of his energy to keep the jinchūriki and the Six-Tails under control, while preparations for a new jinchūriki were underway.
Killing the Six-Tails posed no challenge or resistance for him.
Hiss!
Obito's pupils shrank as he growled, "You wouldn't dare!"
He hadn't anticipated that Ishihara would choose to kill the tailed beasts instead of protecting them. If the tailed beasts died, it would take years for them to reincarnate.
During that time, even if he revived Madara, it would be pointless!
The Eye of the Moon plan would have to be delayed!
"What do you think?" Ishihara replied with a mischievous smile.
"Damn it!" Obito cursed inwardly, immediately using Kamui to flee.
Ishihara didn't try to stop him, watching him leave calmly.
Pop!
Obito's Shadow Clone disappeared, leaving the scene.

Mist Village.
Obito launched a sudden attack, pulling the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, into the Kamui dimension. Upon receiving intelligence from his Shadow Clone, he rushed to the Six-Tails jinchūriki's location.
But by the time he arrived, it was too late.
Whoosh…
Blazing black flames had incinerated the rampaging Six-Tails jinchūriki to ashes.
The Six-Tails was dead!
Obito's face was ashen, stunned by Ishihara's decisiveness. The Six-Tails hadn't lasted even a short while under him.
"This guy is getting terrifyingly strong!"
Ishihara's Wood Clone observed him quietly, repeating his earlier words back to him.
"Obito, you're too late!"
"Damn it!" Obito cursed under his breath, looking warily at Ishihara.
Calculating their distance, Obito considered his faster Kamui speed since attaining the Mangekyō. He activated his ocular technique without hesitation.
"Kamui!"
Whoosh!
Obito vanished from sight.
Ishihara paused briefly at Obito's swift retreat, then laughed.
Just now, his Sharingan had recorded every detail of Obito's ocular technique.
The copying function had succeeded!
Kamui was his now!
And it included the phasing and teleportation aspects of Kamui!
Buzz—
A mysterious ripple spread out, connecting Ishihara to a strange, otherworldly dimension.
This was a huge win!
"Hahaha…"

Inside the alternate dimension, Obito's face was dark with frustration. He hadn't expected the Eye of the Moon plan to end just as it had started.
Black Zetsu, still attached to Danzo, seemed lost in thought. After a moment of silence, he suddenly suggested, "Obito, let's revive Madara."
"Huh?!"
Obito's expression changed as he eyed Black Zetsu suspiciously.
Black Zetsu spoke in a grave tone, "Even if we can't carry out the Eye of the Moon plan right now, we can still kill Ishihara!"
In his view, if anyone in the ninja world could still kill Ishihara, it would be Madara, wielding the Rinnegan!
Obito's face shifted uncertainly, "I'll consider it."
Black Zetsu remained silent, firmly attached to Danzo, lost in thought.

Ishihara scoffed, shaking his head, and turned his gaze to the First Hokage, who had started to move.
"Where are you going, Hashirama Senju?!"
Hashirama stopped, turning to look at him and taking a deep breath. "Are you here to stop me?"
"If you want to reseal the Nine-Tails, you'll have to defeat me first!" Ishihara replied.
Blocking the First Hokage was more than just a chance to test his Eternal Mangekyō against him. There was something at the Nine-Tails' battleground that he needed to keep in its current state.
