Chapter 390: Susanoo
Kakuzu was lost in thought. So, it really wasn't Uchiha Madara?
However, the name Uchiha Obito seemed familiar to him.
Had it been mentioned a line or two in the Fourth Hokage's intelligence reports, or perhaps Kakashi Hatake's? Wasn't this guy supposed to have died fifteen years ago?
This time, Obito did not take off his mask.
"I don't think we have anything to catch up on."
His tone was flat, as if he were stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.
Naruto didn't seem surprised by Obito's reaction. He chuckled and didn't dwell on the topic of "catching up."
Instead, he changed the subject, asking a question that caused ripples in Obito's heart once again:
"I have a question I'm curious about."
Naruto's gaze seemed to pierce through the mask, looking straight into Obito's heart,
"Can a single ordinary Three-Tomoe Sharingan really allow you to reshape a perfectly intact body after activating Izanagi?"
"You can even replicate a Mangekyo Sharingan."
Theoretically, it should be possible; Izanagi is a mechanic-based technique.
Those with a three-tomoe can consume one three-tomoe to preserve their life and one three-tomoe, while those with a Mangekyo can preserve one Mangekyo and their life.
This is because ordinary members of the Uchiha Clan cannot use the Three-Tomoe Sharingan to perform Izanagi once they have obtained a Mangekyo.
The medical technology at the time wasn't advanced enough to transplant eyes into them.
However, trading one three-tomoe for a Mangekyo seemed too authoritative; Naruto found it hard to believe.
He didn't have time to ask Danzo before, but he had to ask now. Who knows, maybe he could mass-produce Rinnegan in the future.
Obito's heart sank. Did the other party's words mean that they had obtained his right eye?
Izanagi is a Forbidden Jutsu that rewrites reality, but its effects have limits.
Usually, at the cost of one Sharingan becoming permanently blind, it rewrites the "unfavorable" reality the caster suffers during the technique's activation—such as death or severe injury—restoring them to the state they were in before the technique was activated.
But his situation this time was more complicated.
After being thoroughly killed by Uzumaki Naruto in Hidden Leaf Village, Obito had actually paid the price of two ordinary three-tomoe, and the ability of his right eye had been significantly weakened.
This was already somewhat beyond the scope of a conventional Izanagi.
Obito said nothing, silently looking at Naruto. Of course, he couldn't spill all his secrets to the enemy.
However, Naruto didn't seem to need his answer.
Under the watchful, wary, and confused gazes of Obito and the other Akatsuki members, Naruto reached into his robes and took out a scroll that looked quite ordinary.
He performed a complex hand Seal with one hand and then "swished" the scroll open on the ground.
The scroll was covered in dense, dazzling sealing runes, and at its center, there was a pitch-black vortex pattern that seemed to be constantly rotating.
As Chakra was injected, to the shock of everyone present, a body cut in half fell onto the ground with a heavy "thud."
That was...
The single eye under Obito's mask widened instantly upon seeing this body.
Even with his composure, he couldn't suppress the extreme shock and disbelief he felt at that moment.
This is...
This is his original body.
It is the body that should have "disappeared" or been "rewritten" following the activation of Izanagi.
How could it appear here?
How could it possibly be sealed in this scroll?
How could this be? If that is his own body, then what is the deal with the body he has now?
Obito remembered very clearly that Izanagi is a technique that rewrites unfavorable reality.
According to the principles of this technique, when he activated Izanagi and rewrote the reality of his "death" and "body collapse," his original destroyed body should have completely vanished from reality, as if it had never existed.
But now...
Uzumaki Naruto had actually preserved the body that should have "disappeared," and even sealed it inside the scroll.
Did the other party possess a Sealing Jutsu capable of suppressing, or even interfering with or "intercepting," the rule-based power of Izanagi?
This thought struck like lightning, clearing the fog in Obito's heart!
That's it, no wonder!
No wonder he had consumed two Three-Tomoe Sharingan just by activating Izanagi once.
No wonder the abilities of his Mangekyo Sharingan were severely diminished after his resurrection, his vision had deteriorated, and Kamui had become unstable.
So, the root of everything lay here.
Had Uzumaki Naruto not only ambushed and instantly killed him, but also used a Sealing Jutsu to Seal his previous body, causing him to consume two Sharingan just to successfully cast Izanagi?
Obito clasped his hands behind his back and secretly formed the hand Seals for Izanagi.
This time, Obito had prepared many Sharingan, ready to trade his life for a chance to kill Naruto.
Seeing that he couldn't get any information, Naruto decided he would just have to take him back and hand him over to Inoichi Yamanaka to directly examine his memories.
When the corpse in Naruto's hands was handed over to Inoichi, Inoichi only saw some fragmented images.
He did not have the ability of Nagato's Human Path to directly search souls.
Nagato's eyes were still with Orochimaru for research.
The Rinnegan placed a heavy burden on the body; Naruto did not want to be sucked dry by two pairs of Rinnegan.
It was pointless to say more; they would have to fight.
Golden Chakra erupted within the red Susanoo, and Naruto held Light's hand, injecting Chakra into her.
In the blink of an eye, the Susanoo reached a height of over two hundred meters, and it was not the Perfect Nine-Tailed form.
With the injection of Naruto's Chakra, the style of the armor on the red Susanoo changed, transforming towards the style of a civil and military robe.
The red civil and military robe covered the golden armor, and the shoulder guard on the right side turned into a Suanni-shaped swallow-shoulder.
Its left hand held a round shield with a golden base and red patterns, and the Shindo Sword in its right hand also had yellow energy resembling flames.
The Uchiha Clan has a massive amount of Chakra, but the Chakra for the current Susanoo was provided mostly by Naruto, so its appearance naturally reflected Naruto's influence.
"Is this the true power of the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Deidara felt his scalp tingle; he hadn't expected Uchiha Itachi to have been holding back when fighting him. If such an existence truly existed, it didn't seem impossible for him to have escaped from the hands of the First, Second, and Third Hokage.
"Master Sasori, should we run?"
Sasori, who had released the Third Hokage Kazekage Puppet, nodded and silently put away the scroll for the Hundred Puppets Performance he had prepared.
He was happy to fight, but he wasn't going to throw his life away. He pursued eternal art, not dying for a rat hiding its head and showing its tail.
"It's four times taller than Mr. Itachi's Susanoo!"
Kisame's shark face didn't show any expression, but he also started to silently back away.
Kisame estimated that Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo was only about fifty meters tall, while the Susanoo in front of him was likely heading straight for over two hundred and thirty meters.
In fact, eighty to one hundred and twenty meters is the normal height for a Perfect Susanoo, and among the Tailed Beasts, only the Nine-Tailed can compare in height to a Perfect Susanoo.
Chomei, being an insect, is only about seventeen meters tall. (The height data for the Seven-Tailed comes from Ultimate Ninja Storm 4.)
A Susanoo over two hundred meters tall is no longer just a simple walking natural disaster.
