"What is that on you?"
Obito's voice was gloomy and also filled with curiosity.
He had previously tried to sneak attack when Takumi's attention was focused on Guren, originally thinking he would succeed.
Unexpectedly, Takumi's body had an invisible barrier.
This barrier was very solid, and the hand he slapped it with instead was filled with pain, as if his hand bones were broken.
Even though he hadn't used much force when touching it.
"Curious, are you?"
Takumi grinned. "Not telling you!"
Obito's expression was extremely gloomy. "Do you think I have no way?"
"I don't think you have any way."
Takumi didn't care at all.
As long as Obito couldn't touch his body and suck him into the Kamui Dimension, he had nothing to fear.
But hitting Obito was also a troublesome matter.
After all, Obito's Kamui was a very powerful means of dodging attacks.
He had to admit, Obito's Kamui was simply too convenient.
Obito was also helpless.
He had to admit that, without figuring out what that invisible shield on Takumi's body was, he indeed couldn't do anything to Takumi.
But his gaze shifted, and he immediately changed his attack target.
He had noticed earlier.
There was a special energy on that child.
And a child like this appearing here naturally had a special reason.
So, without much thought, the existence of this child was certainly related to the Three-Tails sleeping in the lake.
A vortex spun, sucking Obito into the space and disappearing without a trace.
Takumi immediately became alert.
The vortex appeared again.
Only this time, it was behind the three people.
Behind the bewildered Yukimaru.
Guren immediately noticed the anomaly behind her. She turned her head sharply and saw Obito's right hand reaching for Yukimaru. Her expression suddenly changed.
She didn't know Obito's identity.
But she could tell from his clothes and the mask on his face that he was not a good person.
After all, good people don't dress so secretively.
"Look out!"
Gozu stepped forward, placing himself in front of Obito.
Guren quickly reached out and pulled Yukimaru over, just brushing past Obito's hand, preventing Obito from touching Yukimaru.
She didn't know what would happen if Obito's hand touched him, but certainly nothing good.
Obito's hand touched Gozu, but Gozu was very alert and covered his body with a layer of earth.
This prevented Obito from absorbing him.
But he had no intention of going easy on Gozu.
He directly punched Gozu, sending him flying. The powerful force directly knocked Gozu unconscious.
Seeing that Guren had protected Yukimaru, Takumi breathed a sigh of relief.
Guren was sufficiently vigilant; after all, she was a powerful Shinobi.
"Feint?"
Takumi rushed over quickly, his fist containing multiple layers of power.
If this punch landed, even Obito, with his body enhanced by Hashirama's cells, couldn't possibly block it.
Obito also knew that Takumi's strength was no small matter.
Even though he was very confident in his physical condition, he didn't dare to directly receive Takumi's punch.
So, as a matter of course, he became intangible.
Takumi immediately passed through Obito's body.
All of this was within Takumi's expectations.
He knew his attack couldn't hit.
But he did it on purpose, his purpose being to get close to Obito.
Because his body was blocked by Armament Haki, preventing Obito from successfully touching him and absorbing him into the Kamui Dimension.
This solved Obito's most troublesome point.
Next, he only needed to deal with the fact that Obito used his Kamui to dodge attacks.
And Takumi had already thought of a way for this too.
That was to engage in close combat.
Obito's use of the Kamui to dodge had a time limit.
In other words, Obito's intangibility had a cooldown time.
Takumi just needed to keep harassing Obito until the intangibility entered its cooldown. Then he could punch Obito's mask hard and expose his true face.
Although he already knew what was under Obito's mask.
So, the moment he passed through Obito's body, he forcefully stamped his foot, using fierce force to forcibly twist his body, directly performing a large loop and swinging his arm out like a club.
Obito had no choice but to continue maintaining his intangibility to avoid Takumi's attack.
But he didn't expect that Takumi would next launch a series of attacks on him.
He continuously spun around Obito, using the rotational force to enhance the power of his own attacks, and one move followed another, giving Obito no time to cancel his intangibility.
He suddenly panicked.
'What's going on?'
'How does he know the weakness of Kamui?'
'I've never told anyone about this weakness!'
'At this rate!'
Seeing Takumi's attacks becoming more and more sharp and powerful, with the force released by his swings already causing fluctuations in the surrounding environment,
Watching Takumi's mountain-splitting kick pass through Obito's body and land on the ground, creating a deep giant pit, Obito knew he couldn't let Takumi continue.
Otherwise, when Kamui's duration ended, he would probably be in big trouble.
His gaze suddenly focused, and his entire body directly sank down, sinking into the ground.
Takumi raised an eyebrow and stopped his offensive after Obito had completely sunk into the ground.
He didn't expect Obito to still escape.
But Obito's ability to travel through space using Kamui was just too overpowered.
He could leave whenever he wanted; unless in a specific environment, there was simply no way to stop him.
Thinking about it this way, the reason Konan could injure Obito with billions of explosive tags was completely because the entire area was covered in explosive tags, leaving Obito nowhere to avoid.
The entire ocean was disguised with explosive tags.
Unless he could also do this, the only way to hurt Obito was to catch him off guard.
But obviously, with Obito's vigilance, this possibility was very low.
"This is troublesome."
Takumi frowned deeply, carefully observing his surroundings.
At the same time, he fully activated his Observation Haki, closely watching Obito's movements.
Guren, meanwhile, was already dumbfounded.
Not only was Takumi's close-combat strength shocking, but the masked man Obito's bizarre situation was even more incomprehensible.
She watched helplessly as all of Takumi's attacks passed through Obito's body, but Obito seemed like a ghost, completely unaffected.
"He... who is he?"
Guren frowned deeply, shielding Yukimaru behind her, her eyes full of vigilance.
For now, Takumi was her enemy.
And that mysterious masked man, Obito, also had ill intentions.
And the strength of these two people was obviously beyond her ability to handle.
She hadn't expected this mission to be so troublesome.
Although she usually detested Kabuto, at this moment, she wished he were nearby.
After all, Kabuto was, after all, someone from her own camp.
But she didn't know that Kabuto was nearby; however, after seeing the situation here, he decisively chose to flee.
Seeing Takumi, he wanted to flee, let alone an even more bizarre member of the Akatsuki.
Guren didn't know about the Akatsuki, because she had always been in a remote place guarding a group of experimental subjects for Orochimaru.
But Kabuto certainly knew about the Akatsuki.
There was no doubt about this.
So, he immediately knew that this mission was certainly a failure.
Whether to preserve himself or to report this situation, he was no longer suitable to stay here.
As for Guren and Yukimaru,
They were both pawns that could be sacrificed.
In Orochimaru's eyes, there was no one who couldn't be sacrificed. Even himself, if necessary, he would not hesitate.
After all, with the Cursed Seal, he could eventually be revived sooner or later.
Orochimaru could be said to be the most difficult existence in the Shinobi World to completely kill.
