Chapter 637: Obito's Scheme
This fool was persuaded by Kakashi again. Now he's turned traitor and gone back to Konoha's side.
Obito's desperate, unyielding grip made Madara Uchiha suspicious. In his haste, this was the only answer he could think of.
Right now, he wasn't in the main world. If Ino couldn't find him, she might fly over and cut down the God Tree in a few strokes. If that happened, all his years of hard work and planning would become a massive joke.
He was confident against ordinary ninja. The God Tree's durability was far beyond imagination; its bark was harder than steel.
Those Hokage and Tsuchikage could attack it with ninjutsu for three days and three nights and still not scratch it.
But Ino? Madara looked down on Ino's willpower, believing that ninja from an era of peace were too soft. However, he had to admit, that woman absolutely had the means to cut down the God Tree. If the Ten-Tails were conscious, it could fight back. But now it had turned into a tree, just standing there stiffly. How could it resist? Relying on those vines?
He could only assume Obito was stalling for time.
Obito's face was deathly pale. He offered no explanation, his lips moving slightly, as if about to speak his last words.
Madara needed to rely on the left Kamui eye to leave this dimension. His own Rinnegan was just clenched in his fist; he hadn't transplanted it yet. He raised his chin slightly, assuming the posture of a victor, curious to hear what Obito had to say.
Suddenly, he realized something was wrong. He whipped his head to the right. He saw that Obito, right next to them, had silently used his Mangekyō Sharingan to open a portal connecting to the acid dimension.
What is he doing? Madara couldn't comprehend his actions for a moment. The next second, dark-colored acid surged into the Kamui dimension like a bursting dam.
Madara's attempt to dodge was just half a second too slow. The little finger on his left hand and a large chunk of muscle on his right leg were corroded away by the splashing acid.
Madara Uchiha had run from north to south, east to west. It looked impressive, but in truth, he was suffering.
He had no space-time abilities of his own, so he often needed to make extensive preparations.
Obito had opened a portal to the acid dimension, letting endless acid pour into the Kamui dimension. Madara's first instinct was to close the portal. How do I close it? I don't know how!
The acid was extremely close to them, so close they could smell its unique, corrosive stench.
Madara wanted to dodge, but Obito held him fast with Wood Release. Even as his own left foot was completely corroded, Obito didn't waver in the slightest.
"Are you insane? You want to completely destroy your own dimension? To die here with me?!" Madara's face was filled with shock. He couldn't fathom Obito's thoughts.
Obito's answer was unrelated to the question. "You all think I'm a failure. That's right. Back in the Academy, my grades were poor. After becoming a ninja, my aptitude was only average. I couldn't compare to a genius."
He paused, then smiled—a cruel smile. "Kakashi, that 'genius,' thinks he convinced me to serve Konoha again. How laughable. I never intended to go back. Ino Yamanaka, that other genius, dug a super-massive acid pit for me out there, then left without a second glance, thinking I had no chance of survival. And you, Madara Uchiha, the most famous genius of the Uchiha clan, you also thought you could control my destiny, ordering me around like a dog!"
Obito stared at him intently. "You geniuses, every last one of you is self-centered, thinking you control everything. In reality, you are all losers in this game. There is only one person who can win, and that person is me!"
Endless acid flooded the Kamui dimension, and the two of them bore the brunt of it.
Both of Obito's legs were corroded away, and several large, bloody holes had appeared in his ribs. Madara, too, had holes corroded into his back and calves by the acid. His body was healing quickly, but the acid corroded even faster.
Obito chuckled darkly. I'd like to see what other tricks you have left.
In less than three seconds, the portal Obito had opened widened even more.
Obito looked at Madara. "I've calculated it. It will only take one and a half minutes for the acid in that large dimension to fill this small space of mine. I don't know how Ino Yamanaka created that dimension, but I have to say, she really did me a huge favor."
A very dangerous premonition gripped Madara's heart. Without a word, he activated Kamui, preparing to leave.
As he tried to activate it, he was horrified to find the dōjutsu power stuck within his eyes, as if blocked by something. The power couldn't be released at all.
Obito chuckled lightly. "Madara, I told you, you can't escape. That is my eye, not yours. Kamui requires a cooldown period between uses. You forcibly seized Kakashi's eye, so you definitely didn't have time to properly acclimate the chakra pathways. To use Kamui again, the time required is even longer."
Only then did Madara begin to study Obito's eyes seriously. He quickly recognized the truth. "I see. You activated Izanagi ahead of time, all to ambush me with this acid... You're truly willing to sacrifice. To use the Kamui Mangekyō Sharingan you've had for so many years as a mere consumable... Don't you find that a waste?"
While Madara verbally analyzed Obito's scheme, he was secretly pondering: Obito is using Izanagi to bet his life against mine, to stall for time. Should I use Izanagi as well?
He didn't care about the Kamui ability itself; if Obito's left Mangekyō eye was destroyed, so be it. But a serious problem lay before him: if the left eye was destroyed, how would he get out later? He couldn't just die in the Kamui dimension with Obito, could he?
"Hmph. Fool, you truly understand nothing. Oh, that's right. Your Mangekyō was never complete. You, pathetic creature, have never even used Susanoo. You have no idea how strong its defense truly is."
Madara quickly made up his mind. Obito had already activated Izanagi and was gritting his teeth, holding on. When he could no longer endure, he would use Izanagi's power to rewind his own state, reverting to the moment Izanagi was cast.
Therefore, the Rinnegan I just took back is meaningless right now. I'll wait. I'll wait for his Izanagi to end, and I'll wait for the cooldown on my left eye's Kamui to finish. At that time, I will take the eye, kill him, and then use Kamui to leave this damned place.
Now, it was a matter of who could endure longer. Compared to Obito, who was tanking the damage with sheer willpower and his physical body, Madara Uchiha felt he had the advantage. He first used the Rinnegan's repulsive force to push Obito away, then tried to float up, away from the acid. However, he was stunned to find the dimension was far smaller than he'd imagined. He had no choice but to wrap himself tightly in his Susanoo.
I'll tank it. Let's see who breaks first!
