"Uchiha Madara?'
The many Mist jonin all had their expressions subtly change.
It wasn't that they were afraid of him, but that name alone carried enough shock to make them all tremble in surprise.
Whether it was true or not, for someone to dare flaunt that name, they had to have some real skill.
But Terumi Mei only let out a mocking laugh and said with ridicule, "Uchiha Madara? The Uchiha Madara who doesn't even dare show his real face and only hides behind a mask?"
Uchiha Obito retorted in displeasure, "Young one, don't mistake your ignorance for courage!"
At that moment, the Mangekyo in his eyes turned even redder, as though he was trying to prove something to the Terumi Mei in front of him.
Now besides Uchiha Madara… there was also Uchiha Itachi, who else had the Mangekyo Sharingan?
But Terumi Mei just shook her head with that same mocking smile, "Your act is too clumsy. I can't even be bothered to expose you."
"And besides, whoever you are, if you controlled our Mizukage and tried to use the tailed beasts to harm our village, then you are our enemy."
Terumi Mei shot a signal with her eyes to her subordinates, and all the Mist ninja immediately spread out into battle stances.
"You think having more people means you can defeat me, Uchiha Madara? How laughable!"
Facing the hostile stares of the Mist ninja, Uchiha Obito swallowed hard. With his current strength, facing so many jonin, plus one Mizukage, the pressure was enormous.
Honestly, if this went on, he'd have to ask Tobi to take over and fight in his place.
Usually, he only used Tobi's assistance to move around more easily, since Tobi couldn't use Kamui.
But now that Kamui wasn't usable, his direct combat ability might not even be as good as Tobi's.
Thinking that, his heart calmed slightly. Looking at the people in front of him, his expression turned arrogantly wild.
"As long as I feel like it, I could take every single one of your lives right now."
"How boastful! Lady Terumi Mei, allow me to test his depth!"
Zabuza, provoked by Obito's words, felt his temper flare.
"Wait a second!"
Terumi Mei stopped Zabuza, preventing him from rushing in recklessly, "For someone this evil, there's no need to talk about rules, everyone, attack together!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Terumi Mei's order, the Mist ninja didn't hesitate for a second, their hands instantly formed seals.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique!"
"Water Style…"
No one acted rashly. Over ten high-level Water Style jutsu were unleashed at once, all surging straight toward Uchiha Obito.
Obito's eyes narrowed slightly, and his hands began forming seals at lightning speed.
"Wood Style: Wood Locking Wall!"
A dome-shaped wooden barrier rose from the ground, shielding him completely.
The dozens of mighty Water Style jutsu smashed against the wooden dome. Though it was gradually worn down, in the end it still held firm, their attacks couldn't break through.
"Hm?"
Terumi Mei was surprised, but not because Obito could use Wood Style.
Konoha's intelligence reports had already mentioned that he could. What surprised her was that his Wood Style could actually block all of their attacks.
After firing her own Water Dragon Bullet, Terumi Mei quickly formed another set of seals, spewing out a wave of white mist from her mouth.
And the reason Obito could block all those attacks with Wood Style wasn't because his Wood Style was so powerful, it was because Tobi had taken over the fighting.
Right now, Obito's arms couldn't even lift properly, let alone form seals. All the ninjutsu were released by Tobi following his intent.
As a White Zetsu created from Hashirama's cells, Tobi's Wood Style amplification was terrifyingly strong.
After all, in the original work, when Tobi possessed Yamato, he could even use a watered-down version of True Several Thousand Hands.
So, Obito had easily used Wood Style to block the Water Style attacks of over ten jonin.
However, what he didn't notice was that the white mist had already silently seeped over the wooden dome, coiling around him.
"Looks like you're rather lacking in combat experience," Terumi Mei suddenly said.
"What… what?"
"Cough! Cough!"
Moments after her words, Obito looked down in shock at the blood he had just coughed up from his throat.
'What… what's going on?'
'Am I poisoned?'
'No, it is this white mist!'
Other than coughing up blood, Obito also noticed that the half of his body repaired by White Zetsu, and even his intact half, was showing signs of melting.
He immediately leapt back, escaping the range of the Boiling Mist Technique.
"How's that? My Boil Release: Skilled Mist Technique, not a bad taste, right?"
Terumi Mei led the Mist ninja in pursuit, a contemptuous smile on her face.
But she wasn't truly underestimating him. She just despised him strategically, while taking him seriously tactically.
She could sense that this guy seemed… to be holding back.
And as Obito retreated, she saw what he currently looked like.
One of his sleeves hung empty like he had lost his arm, and from it dripped a white, unknown substance, the sight made Terumi Mei's stomach churn.
'This rogue from the Uchiha clan, not only is he insane, he is disgusting too?'
The white, oozing substance coming off Obito's body completely revolted her.
"Damn it!"
'This woman, to think she has such a sinister ability! What a devious woman!'
Back then, during the Bloody Mist era, Terumi Mei rarely used her Kekkei Genkai. In the years that followed, Obito had been too busy recovering from the wounds Amaterasu left on him.
He only knew she had two Kekkei Genkai, Lava Release and Boil Release, but didn't know the specific jutsu. His intel was outdated.
'Not good!'
'If this keeps up, it'll really be bad.'
"Tobi, take control of my body from here."
Obito quietly requested substitution.
"Really?"
That familiar voice answered, this time with excitement, "Then afterward, can I use your body to poop once? I mean, I can't poop myself, but I really want to know what it feels like."
The corner of Obito's mouth twitched violently under the mask.
Of all times to say this.
"If we can get through this, you can do whatever you want!"
The orange mask automatically detached from his face, and white tendrils like vines wrapped around his body, covering him entirely, forming a new white spiral mask over his face.
"Lava Release: Melting Monster Technique!"
Seeing Obito's body suddenly morph into something strange, Terumi Mei didn't dare be careless. She leaned back and spat a stream of sticky, highly corrosive acid from her mouth.
The acid spread through the air, expanding rapidly, pouring down toward Obito like a waterfall.
In the Fourth Ninja War, she had used this very technique to melt through a Susanoo, its power was terrifying.
The air sizzled and warped with the rising heat.
But Obito felt no panic. His arms had fully recovered. With a flick of his right hand, he tore off the black cloak with red clouds, revealing the twisted white body beneath.
Through the white spiral mask, only one single eye stared coldly at the falling acid. He clapped his hands together.
"Wood Style…"
