This version of Obito was completely immune to all Ninjutsu. At this point, only Sage Arts and Taijutsu could harm him.
After a brief bout of probing, Senju Tobirama quickly analyzed Uchiha Obito's abilities. Unfortunately, none of that information changed the reality before them.
Even with their precise coordination and mastery of Space–Time Ninjutsu, the Allied Shinobi Forces could barely keep up with Obito, and none of their attacks landed with any meaningful effect. Even Hashirama, the strongest among them, couldn't inflict real damage.
The gap was despair itself.
"Hokage-sama! Leave the rest to me!"
"Lee! Watch closely—this is the ultimate secret art of Taijutsu!"
"It's time to uphold our Ninja Way… the moment to protect those we love, even with our lives on the line!"
"Konoha's Blue Beast… Mad Guy! Burn!! Youth!! AH! YOUTH!!!"
Might Guy surged forward, his fingertips lightly tapping against his heart—
"Oh? Blood-red steam… he's gathering all his energy into his heart!"
Even Uchiha Madara was stirred. He had once witnessed Might Duy open the Eight Gates Formation. That overwhelming force had left a deep impression.
But right now—Guy's aura was even greater.
"Among all the strong warriors I've encountered," Madara murmured, "his Taijutsu… is worthy of being called the strongest."
Even though this worldline's situation differed from the original, Madara still reached the same jaw-dropping conclusion.
"But can he defeat Obito…?" Madara wondered aloud, excitement flickering in his eyes.
"Eight Gates Formation!!!"
The air shook as power erupted.
Obito stared indifferently—until Guy moved.
"Evening Elephant—First Step!!!"
Guy's punch detonated the air, forming a violent compressed-air shockwave.
To Obito's shock—
he was hit directly.
"So fast!!"
BOOM!!!
A crater dozens of meters wide blasted open in the ground.
"Guy-sensei!" Lee's voice trembled with worry.
Opening the Eight Gates Formation meant almost certain death. But this was Guy's Ninja Way. Lee could only clench his fists, desperately holding back tears.
"How is this even possible…?" Gaara muttered.
The Raikage and others were visibly shaken by the raw force Guy displayed.
Suppressing his grief, Kakashi explained, "The Eight Gates Formation removes all the body's limitations, allowing one to release power beyond their natural limits. But that power isn't permanent. Opening the Eight Gates… means burning your life in exchange."
The Raikage—who always prided himself on physical strength—couldn't help but widen his eyes. Might Guy's power surpassed anything he had ever imagined.
"Second Step!!!"
Guy struck again. The shockwave forced Obito into a direct clash, the air pressure pinning him down. This Guy, whose physique far exceeded the original storyline, commanded the Evening Elephant with terrifying ease.
Evening Elephant consisted of five consecutive strikes, each building toward the next, exponentially amplifying destructive power.
"This is impossible!! How can a mortal unleash such attacks?!"
Obito was in disbelief.
He was being crushed.
Might Guy's speed overwhelmed him. His attacks were too powerful and too fast to counter.
Damn it!
How is this happening?!
I won't… fail!
Another blow sent Obito crashing into the earth, carving a deep crater before flinging him skyward.
"Hahahahaha!"
Obito laughed, blood spilling from his lips.
"You can't stop me! I admit your power threatens me. But Taijutsu alone is too limited!"
He activated Kamui.
In front of everyone…
he vanished into the void.
Guy's punch tore through empty air.
"Damn it! Coward! He's hiding because he can't win!"
Several shinobi exclaimed angrily.
Something unprecedented was happening—
Might Guy's Eight Gates Formation was overpowering a Six Paths-level opponent.
Kakashi's face darkened.
"This is bad… He's trying to stall. If Guy's Eight Gates Formation ends, his body will collapse on its own… even without Obito interfering."
Who would have thought that Obito—after becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki and possessing near-limitless power—would still resort to such a shameless tactic?
In the original story, if he had simply relied on Kamui against everyone, he wouldn't have lost the Ten-Tails' power so easily.
But this was reality.
Here, anything could happen.
At that moment, Might Guy sensed the worsening situation. Even though his physical endurance had improved tremendously, the strain of the Eight Gates was still overwhelming.
"Is my only option… Night Guy?"
He believed that Night Guy could pierce even space itself. Under the immense power coursing through him, he felt an illusion—
as if he could tear through the very world.
He couldn't destroy the world, of course.
But breaking space?
That, he could achieve.
"Night Guy!!!"
Guy began to gather all of his strength. With the enhancement of his Steel Body, he unleashed a power far beyond his original limits.
In the original timeline, Might Guy's bones began shattering under the sheer force of Night Guy. But now, after completing his full-body tempering, perfecting his internal organ training, and awakening the divine martial art of Steel Body, he could wield this power without immediate collapse.
For a brief moment—
his strength reached the realm of the Six Paths.
"Night Guy… the ultimate expression of the Eight Gates!"
Lee involuntarily unleashed the Seventh Gate. His foundation wasn't as deep as Guy's, and he had yet to fully complete his organ refinement. Once he did, he too would be capable of using the Eight Gates Formation.
But right now, he could only clench his fists, frustrated at his own weakness.
In truth, considering Lee's age, his achievements were already extraordinary. Guy's power was the product of decades of accumulation exploding all at once. Lee simply lacked time. Not everyone was Naruto, born with a world-breaking cheat.
All eyes locked onto Might Guy.
Everyone prayed for a single moment of hope.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
A sound like shattering glass echoed across the battlefield.
In front of Night Guy, an unseen barrier cracked.
Fissures split open in the air itself.
"What?!"
Obito's face twisted in terror.
He could feel space beginning to collapse around him.
BOOM!!!
Space exploded—
and Guy's devastating attack smashed into Obito's body.
Blood burst out violently.
Obito's form collapsed like crushed meat.
A massive crater tore across the landscape, stretching several kilometers.
Obito had been reduced to mangled flesh.
Cheers erupted.
With a blow like that, if he survived, they would swallow their headbands on the spot.
But just as the battlefield roared in triumph—
an impossible, unbelievable scene began to unfold.
