Naruto Kirigakure System - Chapter 15
In the heated eyes of Uchiha Obito, white bones began to emerge from Kaguya Naoki’s body.
Then, an entire forest of white bones sprouted, centered on his body, growing massively in all directions.
What seemed like towering, invincible Wood Release trees, what seemed like an inescapable prison, all became jokes before these bones.
The wildly growing white bones burst through the pitiful trees, turning them into splinters. Along with them, mounds of dirt rose!
**How is this possible!**
Obito, shocked, turned intangible, dodging the piercing bones!
Seeing the bones piercing straight into the sky, Obito felt a rare panic.
No way, I can’t lose.
He touched his eyes, feeling the power of Wood Release within him.
How could someone like me, possessing these two powers, lose to someone like this?
Impossible!
Obito’s eyes spun, and he was ready to make his next move, but a sharp wind from behind interrupted him.
It was Kaguya Naoki!
In an instant, Naoki had moved behind Obito.
Yes.
Naoki could move freely and swiftly within this forest of bones.
In other words, within this forest, he had absolute control!
**Thud!**
A white bone pierced Obito’s body.
This time, he couldn’t avoid it.
Again and again.
Obito felt a twinge of fear.
Kamui, once again, failed to activate.
The Mangekyo Sharingan ability that Obito considered nearly invincible was fragile before Naoki.
Obito looked at the extending bone spikes with shaken eyes, his body gradually turning intangible.
Naoki retracted the bone, pulling out a line of blood.
Obito reappeared from the vortex, attacking Naoki from behind.
But his triumphant smile soon froze as Naoki disappeared into the bones, making his attack miss.
In the next moment, Naoki reappeared, stabbing Obito.
This time, Obito activated Kamui in time, disappearing into the vortex.
The madness on Obito’s face faded inside the Kamui dimension, replaced by confusion.
He had such strong powers now.
Why was this happening?
No, there’s still Kakashi.
Obito suddenly remembered Kakashi was still in the hands of the Kirigakure ninjas.
At least he had to save that idiot!
Obito reappeared in the outside world.
**Whoosh!**
Bones swung again, the chaotic wooden branches barely blocking for a moment, before sweeping towards Obito’s arm.
Kamui, intangibility.
Obito’s form vanished from this world.
Naoki’s form also disappeared within the bones.
With the blooming of the bone forest, the battle was no longer a close-quarters, blood-soaked fight.
Naoki could move freely within the forest, and Obito’s current strength wasn’t enough to track and harm him effectively.
And though Naoki could swiftly move and gain an absolute vantage point to attack Obito, Kamui’s defensive ability made it difficult for him to land a decisive blow.
This dull battle continued for a while. Despite Obito’s grief and irrationality, he realized he couldn’t win today against this formidable foe!
This Dead Bone Pulse user was indeed an unbeatable monster.
Obito internally screamed.
He really couldn’t win!
As the bitterness of defeat overwhelmed him, Obito regained some clarity. Knowing he couldn’t win, he aimed to use Kamui to snatch Kakashi.
But as soon as he had this thought, he realized the Kirigakure ninjas had hidden in the bone forest.
Within the bone forest, Kakashi was tightly protected, leaving no chance for Obito to take him.
Can’t even save Kakashi?
Obito’s heart ached terribly.
No.
He couldn’t let Kakashi fall into their hands!
Obito roared, trying to awaken the more profound power within his bloodline, the power representing the pinnacle of the Uchiha—a giant.
Blood tears streamed down his face, and he didn’t hesitate to exhaust his eye power, continuously injecting chakra.
He had to save that idiot.
He had to!
The power from his bloodline fully erupted, attempting to summon a giant.
But the limitations of a single Sharingan eye couldn’t be overcome.
He failed to summon the ultimate power to defeat Naoki.
Obito closed his blood-teared eyes, a mix of reluctance, confusion, and pain on his face.
Tonight, he would lose all his bonds.
Rin, Kakashi.
None of them were in this world anymore.
“Obito.”
Afei’s playful voice spoke at the right moment.
“Let’s go back to Lord Madara, learn stronger ninjutsu, and then, avenge!”
Avenge?
Obito looked at Naoki’s figure, at the battlefield’s devastation.
Would mere revenge be enough?
Staying in this world couldn’t fill the void.
I want to create a world where Rin and Kakashi exist!
I want to end this world’s ridiculous darkness and war and create a better world!
Sensing Obito’s thoughts, Afei spoke again.
“Rin, Kakashi, they can reappear.”
“Lord Madara will give you the answer.”
Obito’s blood-teared eyes looked at the white substance.
“I’ll go with you!”
“Don’t deceive me.”
“Kakashi, Rin, wait for me.”
After calling out, Obito vanished into the vortex, heading away from the bone forest.
At this moment, sadness, hatred, pain, and hope swirled in the boy’s heart.
Leaving the battlefield, his gaze of pure hatred fell on Naoki.
“Kirigakure’s Dead Bone Pulse user.”
“I will kill you.”
“I will definitely kill you!”
After his shout, the vortex turned, and Obito’s figure completely disappeared from the battlefield.
Kill me?
Naoki thought of the natural Rin hidden in the Land of Fire and Kakashi, who would soon face persuasion.
Obito, kill me or follow me.
With your current strength, you can only guarantee something.
Naoki chuckled, separating from the bone forest, then coughed up blood!
When Zabuza retreated from the battle, the Kirigakure ninjas knew they would be useless in this high-level fight.
They ran several hundred meters away, fearing the blooming bone forest might mistakenly harm them.
“Lord Naoki, you must win, or we all die!”
White bones danced on the battlefield, suppressing the green branches entirely. The blood spraying from Obito proved it!
The Kirigakure ninjas were exhilarated!
The terrifying taijutsu of the Kaguya clan was fully displayed.
“Are you kidding, this regenerative ability!”
Seeing Naoki’s exploding bones pierce the Wood Release ninja full of holes, and the Kirigakure ninjas thought they were about to win.
But unexpectedly, after being covered by a mysterious white substance, the Wood Release ninja instantly recovered.
Someone began to tremble, feeling an insurmountable fear!
When the massive thorny trees enveloped Naoki, disappointment and despair spread among the team!
The ANBU exchanged glances, harboring different thoughts.
They wanted to flee!
As the dam of their resolve crumbled, the Kirigakure ninjas began to move.
But at that moment, the bone forest bloomed.
All thoughts and intentions were cut off.
Such a powerful technique should defeat both Wood Release and Sharingan!
The Kirigakure ninjas, seeing Naoki repeatedly showing dominance, were filled with enthusiasm until Naoki’s bone clone appeared, turning their enthusiasm into admiration.
They even revered a clone.
“Lord Naoki’s order, hide in the bone forest!”
The bone clone dispersed, and the Kirigakure ninjas rushed into the bone forest with Kakashi.
Surrounded by the Kirigakure ninjas, Kakashi pondered everything he had seen.
It was Obito.
That figure, that voice, and the call for Rin, unmistakable.
Kakashi felt joy mixed with nervousness.
How could he face Obito after failing to protect Rin?
But recalling Obito using Wood Release, Kakashi trembled.
Wood Release is impossible for Obito.
Kakashi knew Obito’s lineage well.
Obito, born of Uchiha parents, couldn’t have Senju blood.
Impossible.
So his Wood Release must have come from the village?
Kakashi painfully closed his eyes, trying to dismiss the thought.
But the more he suppressed it, the more it grew like wildfire, stirring a storm in his mind.
Just a spark could ignite it.
“Lord Naoki!”
A wave of cheers snapped Kakashi out of his thoughts, looking at the man emerging from the bones.
Even if he wanted to uncover the truth, he had to survive first.
The strain of the Mangekyo Sharingan finally overwhelmed him, and he fell into unconsciousness.
At that moment, Naoki descended.
