Chapter 139: Obito, How About I Reanimate Rin to Play Around
As expected, Rin was Obito's forbidden zone. The moment she was mentioned, Obito's IQ immediately plummeted. Veins bulged on his forehead as he strained his neck, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"What do you understand?"
"Don't mention Rin to me!"
"You don't deserve to!"
"If you think I want to complete the Moon's Eye Plan only because of Rin and Kakashi, then you're completely wrong!"
"To me, Kakashi who failed to protect Rin is a fake."
"Rin won't die in my heart, so the dead Rin is also a fake."
"The living Rin is the real Rin!"
"What truly caused this situation is the shinobi system itself!"
"It's the shinobi villages, and the shinobi!"
"What made me truly despair is this world itself!"
"I've completely despaired of this false world!"
"Is that so?" Yasushi curled his lip dismissively. "The dead last is still the dead last. Even your excuses for running away sound so high-minded."
"Since this world is false, then excellent!"
"Once today's battle is over, I'll use Reanimation to bring Rin out, then send her to the Tanzaku Quarter to serve drinks!"
"With that little loli appearance of hers, plenty of pot-bellied old men will love her. She might quickly become the top courtesan of Tanzaku Quarter!"
"I've heard there are quite a few perverted old lechers in Tanzaku Quarter who enjoy playing all sorts of bizarre games. Reanimated bodies are immortal and indestructible—perfect for their preferences!"
"Uchiha Yasushi, you're asking for death!" Provoked by Yasushi, Obito immediately lost his temper and his rationality once again.
His words sounded noble, but in truth Rin was his absolute taboo. He wouldn't allow anyone to touch that subject even slightly.
What Yasushi planned to do—even if it never happened, just the thought of it—was enough to drive Obito insane.
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
The ground began shaking violently. Thick tree roots suddenly burst from below, rapidly coiling together and gradually forming massive wooden dragons.
These wooden dragons looked ferocious, covered entirely in sharp spikes. They coiled and smashed through Yasushi's tree blockades, charging directly at Susanoo and wrapping tightly around Susanoo's body, constricting forcefully while beginning to frantically absorb chakra.
As chakra was absorbed, the wooden dragons' forms grew thicker and more powerful, squeezing Susanoo's energy body until it groaned, energy particles scattering down like a beautiful snowfall.
With Obito losing composure, Yasushi became happy, immediately clapping delightedly.
"Haha... Obito, you've broken!"
"What are you pretending to be—some deep philosopher?"
"With your barely-graduated-from-the-Academy level, do you have that capability? Huh?"
"Admit it!"
"You're just trash who values women over friends!"
"You're just a beast with no humanity when there's a woman involved!"
"Oh right, you're also a fucking lapdog!"
"Lapdogs rank below dogs!"
"Lapdogs die horrible deaths, ever heard that?"
"Oh yes, maybe I should arrange a few ninja dogs for Rin, then make you kneel beside and watch. That would definitely be super interesting!"
"Hahahaha..."
While madly mocking Obito, Yasushi rolled up his sleeve, once again revealing the Mangekyo Sharingan in his left arm.
The sky darkened once more. Thunder dragons roared and leaped from the clouds, plunging straight down, pouring directly into Susanoo from its head.
Empowered by the thunder dragon, Susanoo's body immediately gained an additional layer of lightning armor. Even the staff in its hand sprouted azure blades, their surfaces constantly humming and vibrating, perpetually slicing through the air.
Yasushi swung the staff blade like a meat cleaver, skinning and deboning the wooden dragon piece by piece until it was completely severed.
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
"Wood Dragon Technique!"
"Wood Dragon..."
Obito's hands clapped continuously without stopping. New wooden dragons formed one after another from beneath the earth, constantly attacking Yasushi.
Yasushi wasn't intimidated either, swinging his staff blade with powerful sweeping strikes, cutting down these wooden dragons one by one to the ground.
But just as their battle reached white-hot intensity, an angry voice rang out from the sky above.
"Almighty Push!"
Overwhelming repulsive force fell straight down from overhead, striking squarely in the exact center of their battlefield.
A spherical void instantly appeared on the ground, then rotated and expanded outward, growing dozens to hundreds of times larger in a breath.
That tremendous power was completely irresistible, directly grinding all trees and earth within into powder.
Blinding white light instantly filled everyone's eyes, piercing them so painfully that tears flowed freely.
The massive explosion resounded throughout heaven and earth, nearly deafening. Wild shockwaves rampaged chaotically, directly forming a small-scale storm on the field.
"Tch, why did Nagato come?"
Yasushi reluctantly retreated, looking carefully to indeed see Pain suspended in the clouds, face dark with rage.
Looking left and right, he saw a black-and-white figure emerge from underground on Obito's side, pulling at Obito while arguing.
"Meddling bastard!"
Yasushi frowned, knowing Zetsu must have tipped Nagato off. Otherwise, with both deliberately running to remote mountains far from Nagato's sight to battle, they absolutely wouldn't have attracted Nagato's interference.
Pain's form slowly descended, hovering in midair between them, shouting sternly:
"How many times have I said—internal conflict is forbidden within the Akatsuki! Have you both completely disregarded my words?"
"Reporting, Leader! Obito attacked first!" Yasushi immediately raised his hand high, filing his complaint first.
In this situation, whoever complained first gained the advantage.
"Silence!" Pain shouted. "I don't care who attacked first. Both of you stop immediately!"
"Since you two are incompatible, don't meet again in the future!"
"Yasushi will immediately go with Orochimaru to execute the One-Tail capture mission. Obito and Zetsu will capture the Three-Tails. From now on, except when extracting tailed beasts, you'll only communicate via jutsu. No more meetings!"
"Fine by me." Yasushi shrugged, canceled Susanoo, handed Uchiha Sachi in his arms to Yashiro who had caught up, dusted off his pants, and prepared to leave.
"You think you can just walk away?" Obito shouted with bloodshot eyes. No matter how hard Zetsu pulled on his arm, he couldn't stop his roaring.
"Today it's you or me—one of us must die!"
Now Yasushi was delighted. He immediately jumped up, pointing with his finger.
"Leader, you see! I didn't say that!"
"Obito said it!"
"Leader, Obito isn't giving you face!"
Pain's expression grew darker and darker, his Rinnegan staring fixedly at Obito as he spoke in a low, commanding voice, "Obito, do you understand what you're saying?"
