At the center of the battlefield.
The chaos continued, but Makoto looked as if he were aloof from it all. He glanced at Kakashi.
"I'm leaving this guy to you."
With that, Makoto casually tossed Obito towards Kakashi.
Kakashi quickly rushed forward to catch him, holding Obito's shoulders with both hands. Looking at that disfigured face up close, his throat felt blocked.
Makoto continued, "As payment, give me your Mangekyo later as well."
Kakashi paused, his eyelid twitching.
Then he nodded in agreement.
To be honest, upon seeing Obito, nothing else mattered.
Now he just wanted to know one thing: Why did Obito become like this? Why was he alive but didn't return to Konoha?
His mind held a million questions, each one pounding against his sanity.
"What the hell is going on?"
Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, also walked up to Makoto.
Makoto glanced at his Senpai and casually said, "I'll tell you later."
Then, Makoto did something that made the scalp of every new player present tingle—
He forcibly gouged out the Kamui Sharingan from his own right eye.
"Plop."
The bloodied eyeball fell into his palm. Severed optic nerves hung like little threads behind the eyeball, still slightly squirming.
Kuroko froze. His pupils dilated to their maximum limit. For the first time, his usually expressionless face showed undisguised shock.
He had seen Makoto's fight videos online, knew how ruthless this man was.
But watching on a screen was completely different from witnessing it live.
Momoi covered her mouth with both hands, her face pale as paper, her stomach churning.
"Awesome."
Aomine, the most competitive member of the basketball club, showed a completely different expression.
In the field of basketball, he was practically invincible.
Since middle school, no one had ever seriously challenged him.
He thought this was how his life would be... finishing his path alone on the basketball court, never finding an opponent who could ignite his passion.
But today, he saw a door to a new world.
The battles just now, those lightning-fast attacks and defenses, those earth-shattering Ninjutsu, those god-like powers... made his heart pound violently for the first time in ages.
"This is exciting!"
Aomine's mouth curled into a wide, exaggerated grin, his eyes burning with an almost manic light.
"Utaha, here."
Makoto handed the gouged-out Kamui Sharingan to Utaha.
They had discussed this long ago.
Whenever they got a new Mangekyo, it would go to Utaha first.
Because of this, Makoto's other women had no objections... it had been decided back in the One Piece World.
Utaha walked up with a smile, completely unfazed by the bloodied eyeball.
Then, she cupped Makoto's face, stood on tiptoe, and gave him a firm kiss on the lips.
Tsunade rolled her eyes hard, choking on the PDA.
"Senpai, how should we deal with these two?"
Yu walked up, gesturing with his gun barrel towards Itachi, held down by Four Gay Bros, and Obito, still leaning on Kakashi, looking down silently, requesting instructions.
Makoto was about to speak.
Suddenly,
A bundle of venus flytraps burst from the ground, its huge mouth like a Venus flytrap gaping open, and with a 'Shwoop', instantly swallowed Uchiha Itachi, who was being guarded by Four Gay Bros.
The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.
"What the hell is that?!"
Teddy Devil and the others were startled by the sudden development.
Makoto turned his head, a cold glint in his eye.
He recognized that thing... the move of Zetsu, a member of the Akatsuki.
Inside the Venus flytrap, Itachi, who had been captured, also looked stunned.
Then, White Zetsu's body emerged from the inner wall of the plant, wriggling like a pool of white slime, and spoke to Itachi:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
Saying this, White Zetsu spread his body over Itachi's surface, wrapping him entirely like a white cocoon.
The white substance seeped into his pores, merged with his muscles, and coiled around his bones.
Just like what he had done to Obito years ago.
"Get out!"
Teddy Devil, reacting, extended his dog paw, coating his claws in black Armament Haki, and tore the venus flytrap apart with one slash.
"Shreeeeed!"
The venus flytrap was ripped in two like paper, spraying sap everywhere.
The main body of White Zetsu, attached to Itachi's surface, was startled. The white slime twitched violently, inwardly marveling.
'Where did Nishikawa Makoto get so many monsters?'
'But thankfully, the fusion was complete.'
The next moment, Itachi felt an unprecedented surge of power flowing into his body.
That power wasn't like the evil Ocular Power of the Sharingan, but more like some primal life force.
Then, from his remaining Mangekyo, a continuous stream of Ocular Power erupted.
Soon, an orange-red light burst forth from his body, wrapped in White Zetsu.
Within moments, Susanoo manifested again.
"That guy can still use that move!"
Seeing the orange-red giant descend again, Beam gaped in shock, his jaw almost dropping.
'Weren't we just about to kill that one-eyed bastard? How could he still use such a big move?'
"Something's not right."
Saeko, a master of the three Haki, narrowed her eyes. Her Observation Haki was screaming warnings.
'That one-eyed man's aura was completely different from before.'
Makoto felt it too. His eyes calmly fixed on the transforming Susanoo, and he said to the surrounding players and Konoha's scoundrels:
"Everyone, step back."
No one hesitated.
Alice pulled Erina onto Zeus. Hancock and Hiyori leaped into the air to create distance.
Even the Konoha's villager, needless to say, turned without a word and fled in the opposite direction.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Ocular Power and Chakra within Itachi swelled further.
The already massive third-stage Susanoo began to deform and grow at a visible rate.
The rib-like skeletal frame filled in. Muscle-like energy tissue sprouted from the bones.
Layers of armor covered it, each thicker and stronger than the last.
Two massive energy wings sprouted from its back, with a span exceeding a hundred meters, blotting out half the sky. The Susanoo's face transformed from a skull into a tengu.
Under the incredulous gazes of natives like Kakashi and Guy—
The orange-red giant instantly transformed into a super-sized tengu giant over a hundred meters tall, sprouting wings!
Complete Body Susanoo.
"This is... Makoto's!?"
Even the earliest players, like the Aizono sisters and Megumi, were shocked at the sight.
After all, the Complete Body Susanoo was one of the moves their man used most often.
The orange-red tengu giant spread its wings, blotting out the sun.
A massive shadow, like a dark cloud, covered the entire village of Konoha.
Itachi stood at the center of the Susanoo's forehead. His remaining Mangekyo glowed with an eerie red light.
"Nishikawa Makoto..."
Itachi's voice came from high above, carrying a twisted calm.
"You said you wouldn't deny Sasuke the right to choose the Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"So why did you stop us?"
Makoto, arms folded across his chest, faced Itachi, who was within his Complete Body Susanoo, looking like a divine being. Yet he looked at him as if watching a clown in a circus.
'Damn, anyone would think you were the victim.'
'Your little brother might be excusable for saying that, but who do you think you are? How dare you say such a thing?'
