WHOOSH!
A charged forward fiercely, but his back had already been slashed open with a long wound.
BANG!
A couldn't help but stop his steps, and his whole body, because of the heavy injury to his back, collapsed onto the ground!
"Big brother!", Killer B, still in the distance, couldn't help but roar out. In fact, the moment Obito disappeared and reappeared above A, he had already predicted Obito's move.
His body instantly entered the Tailed Beast state, a tentacle whipping out toward A's back, wanting to protect him.
However, everything happened far too quickly. His tentacle had only reached halfway when Obito's entire attack was already over.
In the end, he still couldn't save his brother. He could only grip his blade and slash at Obito.
Obito's body was still suspended in midair, completely without a point of leverage to change his direction. Yet he wasn't flustered in the slightest.
He casually pulled out three Flying Thunder God kunai and threw them outward. The three kunai spun into the air, flying off in different directions.
Killer B's attention was drawn by the movement of the three kunai. He knew Obito could teleport to any of them at any moment.
But with three choices, he had no way of judging where Obito would land.
So this strike, he didn't hold back, still slashing at the direction Obito had been coming from.
Because aside from teleporting away, Obito had another option: not teleporting, and instead continuing to attack the heavily injured A.
That would be dangerous. No matter how tough A's body was, there were always weak spots, like eyes or groin, that could be targeted.
Killer B didn't dare gamble. His attack's priority wasn't to injure the enemy, but to force the enemy to protect himself, preventing another threat to his brother.
Obito's eyes once again revealed a trace of admiration. In the next instant, his body vanished and reappeared in front of one of the kunai he had just thrown.
Killer B's slash struck only air, but he didn't hesitate. He rushed forward, scooped A up in his arms, and with a Body Flicker, leapt far away from all the Flying Thunder God kunai.
But Obito only smiled faintly. Did they think running far meant they were safe? The reason Flying Thunder God marks were placed on kunai was because kunai could be thrown.
With that thought, he immediately gripped the kunai in front of him and hurled it in the direction A and B had retreated.
The kunai sped straight toward them, aimed right at Killer B's vital spot.
Killer B had no choice. He partially entered the Tailed Beast state, stretched out a tentacle, and smacked the incoming kunai aside.
The kunai engraved with "Rin" was knocked flying by the tentacle.
But at the very instant it was deflected, Obito teleported over, grabbing the kunai with one hand. With his other hand, he suddenly snatched hold of Killer B's tentacle.
With a strong yank, he pulled the tentacle taut. Then, with force, he slashed down with the kunai, chopping the tentacle in two.
Killer B staggered forward with A in his arms, and both of them fell heavily to the ground.
Obito didn't press the attack. He simply spun the Flying Thunder God kunai on his finger.
Looking at the two of them, sprawled on the ground and struggling to rise, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pleasure from this high-level battle of wits.
Although he had shown off his skills in many battles before, there was a difference between showing off with flashy powers and showing off with pure skill.
He was very satisfied this time, because today he had shown off purely with the original Flying Thunder God.
This was Minato-sensei's style. Treating the opponent like a fool, predicting every attack, turning their own strength against them.
No wonder the ninja handbook said: if you encounter Minato, you can abandon the mission unconditionally.
Obito said calmly, "Your speed isn't all that fast. So, how about it? Do you admit defeat?"
By now, A and B had already adjusted.
Although A's back had been ripped open with a huge, savage wound, fortunately it hadn't gone deeper, and he had mostly regained his fighting strength.
As for Killer B, although one tentacle was cut off, the Eight-Tails was an octopus to begin with. Losing one tentacle wasn't a big deal.
He wasn't really injured at all.
But although their physical wounds weren't serious, the pressure Obito placed on their hearts was immense.
The two of them panted heavily, supporting each other, their eyes locked firmly on Obito not far away, who looked relaxed and full of openings.
Yet they didn't move forward again. Cold sweat trickled down their foreheads.
A couldn't help but say to B, "Such a strong brat… If we use that move, do we have a chance?"
B thought for a moment, then shook his head, "The Double Lariat is strong, but it's based on being able to hit the opponent. It requires both of us to attack from different directions while he stays in place. But… he won't give us that chance."
The two of them gave bitter smiles at the same time.
The most shameless thing about space-time ninjutsu was how it could twist the entire direction of battle to another extreme.
In the past, it was one move for you, one move for me, revealing trump cards and clashing ultimate techniques. That no longer applied. Because no matter how strong your ultimate move, no matter how long you prepared it, if you couldn't land it, it meant nothing.
Especially for A. His heart was bitter. Originally, that privilege belonged to him. It was because of his speed that he could often dodge extremely powerful jutsu, roam the battlefield with ease, and even confidently provoke Konoha right at its gates.
But now, everything seemed reversed.
He couldn't help but ask Obito, "Could it be that your teacher, Namikaze Minato, is even faster than this?"
Obito flashed a sunny, radiant smile, "Of course. I'm still young, and my use of Flying Thunder God isn't mature. But Minato-sensei, he's simply terrifying."
A didn't think Obito was lying. He couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. A deep dread rose in his heart toward this Namikaze Minato, whom he had never even met.
He had heard that Minato was about to become the Fourth Hokage, while he himself would soon inherit the title of Fourth Raikage from his father.
Both would be "Fourth Kage." Yet he couldn't even beat the disciple, let alone the master. Wasn't that far too humiliating?
Still, after this fight, he had understood one truth: Konoha was not the weak, easy target he had imagined. On the contrary, it was full of outstanding talents.
Now the situation was against him. And with Uchiha Madara's existence looming, it really wasn't the right time for war.
He lowered his proud head, "This time, you win. We are willing to retreat and sign a peace agreement with Konoha."
However, Obito still spun the kunai on his finger and said lightly, "You've provoked Konoha many times, even killed our ninja. Do you think you can just come and go as you please?"
A's expression hardened, "I've already admitted defeat, what more do you want? Do you really think we're afraid of you? Don't forget, we still have many techniques we haven't used yet…"
