Chapter 268: No Escape
First, the Tailed Beast Bombs collided, and then a huge iceberg suddenly appeared on the battlefield, obviously attracting everyone's attention.
The entire battlefield fell silent.
However, it was somewhat different from what Kaito had expected. The first to attack was not Killer Bee, whose eldest brother was almost killed by Kaito.
Instead, it was Uchiha Obito who had just put "Nohara Rin" into the Kamui space in the distance.
Although Uchiha Obito still attacked indiscriminately, he killed all the Kumogakure ninjas who blocked his way.
But Kaito doesn't know if it was because his performance just now was too outstanding, Uchiha Obito actually rushed straight towards him.
However, because Uchiha Obito's mask covered his face too tightly, Kaito couldn't see the other person's expression clearly, and couldn't understand why this guy had such a high hatred towards him.
Seeing that the surrounding Kumogakure seemed to be planning to retreat, Harusame and Kisame in the distance had almost broken out.
Without any worries, Kaito looked at the Eight-Tails Killer Bee who was eyeing him covetously on the other side, and Obito who seemed to have set his sights on him.
'Let's give it a try! If I can kill him, that's the best. If I can't, I will just retreat!'
If he could kill Uchiha Obito when he has just awakened his Mangekyō Kamui and is not yet proficient in its use, it would be a win-win situation.
It might be because Uchiha Madara was still alive at that time, and he might even create a new successor.
Of course, the enemy was almost in front of him, and Kaito had no time to think about it so much.
He casually thrust the Shinso into the head of a Kumogakure ninja who was attacking him, while quickly forming seals with both hands.
Two more balls of white flame shot into the air, and the area covered by the "hail" expanded again.
He kicked away another Kumogakure who was about to launch a sneak attack, and took back the Shinsō that was temporarily stored on that Kumogakure, and killed another attacker with a single blow.
After doing all this, Kaito looked at Uchiha Obito who was rushing towards him from a distance.
Hail continued to fall from the sky, but all of them just passed through his body without causing any harm to him.
'This is so unscientific. How can he still run on the ground when he is in virtual form?'
However, it seemed that it was precisely because he had entered the range of hail that Uchiha Obito actually gave up attacking the other Kumogakure and rushed towards Kaito regardless of everything.
'He ignored the Kumogakure attacking from the side. Is he targeting me?'
But Uchiha Obito's behavior was exactly what Kaito wanted.
Kaito directly and quickly formed the seal.
"White Style: White Mist"
'White Mist' is one of the ice style jutsus that is least affected by the Bloodline Selection of the White Style. It can only cause enemies within the range of the white mist to receive a small amount of white flame damage. Under normal circumstances, it has little power and may even accidentally injure teammates, but it is exactly what Kaito wants now.
White mist instantly enveloped the surroundings.
If there are gaps in the attack of hail, then the white mist is an uninterrupted attack with no blind spots.
Kaito wanted to force Uchiha Obito to choose between continuing to activate the Kamui Hollow state and enduring the burning of the "white mist".
However, A huge gust of wind howled past.
It turned out that Killer Bee, who had fully transformed into a tailed beast, waved his octopus tentacles and created a strong wind, which instantly dispersed the white mist that was just about to form.
Immediately following, two tentacles slapped towards Kaito and Uchiha Obito respectively.
"Bang~"
Smoke, dust, ice and snow flew everywhere.
Kaito used his explosive speed to dodge Killer Bee's attack, and Uchiha Obito also used Hollowization to ignore the sneak attack.
Kaito will not indulge the other party.
He waved his hand and slashed at the Eight-Tails' tentacles with the 'Absolute Zero' sword, and even Uchiha Obito was covered in the attack range.
"Boom~"
White flames surged out again. Although it was not as powerful as the previous attack, it still froze both octopus tentacles.
However, due to this delay, the hollowed-out Uchiha Obito had already rushed in front of Kaito.
Uchiha Obito slammed the ground with both hands and shouted loudly.
"Kirigakure! Die!!"
Countless sturdy trees broke out of the ground and rushed towards Kaito like crazy waves.
Faced with the seemingly endless Wood Style attacks, Kaito also slapped the ground with both palms.
"White Style: Ice Wall"
A circle of thick hemispherical ice crystal defense rose up instantly, protecting Kaito.
The moment the tree branches hit the ice crystal defense, they were immediately frozen by the rising white flames and turned into ice sculptures.
However, before Kaito could put away his defense, a figure actually passed through the outer layer of white flames and thick ice crystals and appeared in front of him.
The person who came was Uchiha Obito who had entered the Hollow state. He stretched out his right hand and reached out to Kaito with a ferocious look.
But what was waiting for him was Kaito, who had a smile that showed a look of success.
At this time, a huge gap appeared above the "Ice Wall" at some point, and the sunlight shone directly down through the gap.
Kaito took a quick step with his right foot and stepped squarely on the shadow under Uchiha Obito.
The black emblem on Kaito's arm flickered slightly.
Shadow Stepping! Activate!
Yes, perhaps it is because the Nara clan's shadow secret technique is too compatible with this ability.
When he picked up the corpse of the Nara clan, Kaito was still thinking about how to get the secret technique of shadows.
Who would have thought that after 'sketch', he would directly obtain the ability 'Shadow Stepping' recognized by the system.
[Ability: Shadow Stepping] (Purple item (temporary): Can activate the ability by stepping on the opponent's shadow. After the Shadow Stepping ability is activated, continuous consumption of chakra can make the opponent's legs unable to move and unable to escape.)
Although the 'Ghost Prize Pool' has not been unlocked, Kaito still obtained this ability that can be used immediately.
The moment the Shadow Stepping Jutsu was activated, Uchiha Obito's lower body froze in place, unable to move.
Kaito did not hesitate and quickly swung his sword towards Uchiha Obito.
However, what was unexpected was that this attack still went straight through his body.
'Hmm? Even though he can't move, it doesn't affect the activation of Kamui, right?'
Kaito's thoughts are racing.
However, it was obvious that Uchiha Obito on the opposite side also realized this problem, and immediately activated Kamui to try to completely hide in the Kamui space and thus get rid of the immobilization.
However, the wave of space distortion had just formed when it seemed to be smoothed out by an invisible force, and the attack failed.
Kaito finally showed a satisfied smile.
'Haha, the no escape rule is in effect!'
Since Uchiha Obito cannot escape into the Kamui space, Kaito has his own way to deal with him.
In the face of Obito's horrified gaze, Kaito grinned and quickly formed seals with his hands.
"White Style: Aurora Beam!"
With the help of the sunlight shining through the hole above the Ice Wall, Kaito decisively launched the "Aurora Beam".
A dazzling beam of colorful light shot directly at Uchiha Obito.
But this time, Kamui failed to help him avoid the attack.
The moment the colorful light beams hit, a pure white flame quickly ignited where the light beams converged and quickly spread around.
"Ahhh—"
A shrill scream came from Uchiha Obito, and it was unclear whether it was his voice or that special White Zetsu's scream.
