[Rinnegan: Kamui—Only mobility is enhanced, strength remains unchanged. Unable to deal severe damage to Six Paths-level beings or higher. Otherwise, staring at someone to death would be ridiculous. It'd mean you could straight-up slaughter the entire Ōtsutsuki clan, haha.]
"Boom!"
The ground beneath Isshiki's feet exploded.
His figure vanished instantly from everyone's sight.
"Not good! Lord Tobirama, watch out!" Obito shouted in alarm.
Before Tobirama could react—
Isshiki was already at his side.
With a vicious punch, he obliterated half of Tobirama's body.
It was only at that moment that Tobirama managed to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"Whoosh!"
After pulling some distance away, Tobirama's expression darkened as he quickly formed hand seals.
"Hmm?"
Isshiki then noticed a thin talisman had been stuck to his arm.
A glint of admiration flashed through his eyes.
"So he managed to evade and counterattack at the exact moment I struck him? Heh."
"Forbidden Jutsu—Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!"
[By summoning more explosive tags with each detonation, this technique creates an infinite chain of explosions!]
"A commendable attempt… but futile."
A golden light flickered in Isshiki's right eye.
The countless explosive tags floating in mid-air suddenly shrank to a size imperceptible to the naked eye.
"Crackle… crackle…"
The terrifying forbidden jutsu, powerful enough to shatter mountains, now looked like nothing more than a string of firecrackers.
Seeing his younger brother being humiliated, Hashirama's fury erupted.
With a fierce clasp of his hands, he roared, "Sage Art: Wood—"
"Too slow! Daikokuten!"
Isshiki laughed, his golden eye gleaming even brighter.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Thousands upon thousands of tiny black rods materialized around him, covering the hundred-meter radius surrounding him.
The next moment, they rapidly returned to their original size, launching an indiscriminate barrage.
Like a field of black thorns, the rods stretched out for hundreds of meters in an instant.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Obito phased through them, cursing under his breath. "Damn it!"
Daikokuten was a near-instant ability—there was no time to counter its activation!
Madara formed a barrier using the Truth-Seeking Orbs, negating the attack with Yin-Yang Release.
But the others weren't so fortunate.
Hashirama's hastily constructed wooden wall was effortlessly pierced.
Tobirama teleported away using the Flying Thunder God Technique, unwilling to get close.
As for Hidan… well, he had been lying on the ground the entire time, so there was nothing much to say about him.
Obito's Rinnegan flared as he absorbed both Hashirama and Hidan into his Kamui dimension.
With the way things were going, Hashirama and the others were no longer in any shape to continue fighting.
"Oh? So you've moved the nuisances out of the way?" Isshiki chuckled indifferently, slowly approaching Obito and Madara.
"Well then, I must trouble the two of you to die quickly—I'm on a tight schedule."
Obito and Madara stood side by side.
For the first time, their expressions were grim.
Of course, that didn't mean they weren't excited.
"Hahaha! Obito!"
"Hahaha! Grandpa Madara!"
"I-KI-SO!" (In perfect unison!)
The two burst into laughter and transformed into streaks of light, charging at Isshiki from opposite sides.
"Boom!"
Faced with their pincer attack, Isshiki instantly shrank to evade.
Seeing this, Obito rapidly formed hand seals and spewed out a torrent of searing liquid.
"Sage Art: Lava Release—Super-Deluxe Hot Soup Bomb!"
Isshiki quickly ascended into the air to dodge.
In a flash, he appeared behind Madara, returning to full size as he lashed out with a kick.
"Swish!"
Madara raised his Truth-Seeking Staff to block it, then activated his Rinnegan's Limbo ability, summoning a shadowy clone to strike at Isshiki.
"Kamui!"
At the same time, Obito used his own dojutsu, attempting to restrain Isshiki for even a moment to create an opening for Madara.
Isshiki faltered slightly. "Tch… Annoying."
Faced with an unavoidable multi-pronged assault, he opted for brute force.
"Daikokuten!"
Dozens of enormous black cubes materialized above him and came crashing down.
Madara's expression shifted, and he instantly abandoned his attack.
His instincts warned him—getting trapped in those eerie cubes meant certain death!
After neutralizing their attacks, Isshiki vanished once more.
Obito and Madara both raised their hands, shouting in unison, "Shinra Tensei!"
A terrifying repulsive force rippled outward, wave after wave, surging toward Isshiki.
"Is that all you've got?"
Isshiki sneered as he reappeared, seizing Madara's wrist in a lightning-fast grip before hurling him away.
"Bastard! Don't underestimate Uchiha dojutsu!"
Madara instantly swapped places with his Limbo clone, driving an elbow strike toward Isshiki's chest.
His right eye spun rapidly, further amplifying his speed.
At the same time, Obito swung his Truth-Seeking Staff, aiming for Isshiki's ribs.
"Hmph!"
Isshiki snorted, activating his dojutsu.
Ten black rods shot out from his sides at different angles, aiming for both of them.
"Kamui!"
The rods vanished into thin air, while their attacks continued forward unabated.
Isshiki's brow furrowed slightly.
Blocking Madara's strike with his forearm, he shifted his weight and lashed out with a kick toward Obito.
But his attack missed!
"Not good!"
Taking advantage of Isshiki's mistake, Obito lunged forward, wrapping his arms tightly around him.
"Uchiha Bear Hug!"
Instinctively, Isshiki tried to shrink himself.
Only to realize—his dojutsu had stopped working!
"Nani?!" (What?!)
"This is a sacred secret technique passed down through generations of the Uchiha!" Obito gritted his teeth. "Even gods can be locked down by it!"
[Talk-no-Jutsu Master]—All attributes increased by 20%!
"Grandpa Madara! Fire at will!" Obito roared.
Madara reacted swiftly, unleashing a laser beam from his mouth.
"Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang!"
"Damn it!"
In a moment of desperation, Isshiki instinctively resorted to the Ōtsutsuki clan's ultimate technique—
Ōtsutsuki Elbow Strike!
He raised his elbow and viciously smashed it toward the back of Obito's neck.
Madara's pupils shrank. "Obito, dodge!"
Obito had already sensed the danger. He let go of Isshiki just in time.
Had that brutal strike landed, his head would've been rolling on the ground by now.
The legendary Ōtsutsuki Elbow Strike—its sheer power was terrifying!
Breaking free, Isshiki spun around and struck Obito, sending him flying.
As he prepared to pursue, he was interrupted by another of Madara's attacks.
"Daikokuten!"
He launched several black rods at Obito while turning to clash with Madara once more.
Meanwhile, Tobirama appeared beside Obito, teleporting him to safety.
"Take this. The dust inside can obstruct Byakugan vision," Tobirama said, handing him a concealed weapon.
"Thank you, Lord Tobirama."
Taking the weapon, Obito dashed back into battle.
Up ahead, Madara was fighting with increasing fervor.
"Ōtsutsuki Isshiki! I, Madara, acknowledge your strength!"
Isshiki sneered. "Arrogant lowly creatures. I need no acknowledgment from you."
He raised his hand and summoned several black cubes.
Madara clapped his hands together and activated Shinra Tensei on himself, repelling the cubes to safety.
"Grandpa Madara! Let me assist you!"
Obito flung the concealed weapon, instantly releasing a cloud of dust.
"Poof!"
A fine mist spread, successfully blocking Isshiki's vision.
