159: Chapter 159 Obito's TransformationThe only sound in the cave was the incessant dripping of water into the grooves.
Obito sat on the stone platform, his face beneath the mask becoming increasingly distorted.
He repeatedly touched his chin, cheeks, and neck; every part was smooth and delicate, without the slightest roughness.
Orochimaru stepped forward, holding a mirror in his hand."Look at yourself."
Obito looked at the mirror.
The person in the mirror was wearing a vortex mask and the Akatsuki's black robe, but their posture had completely changed.Their shoulders were naturally tucked in, their waist was slightly arched, and one hand was naturally placed on their abdomen.
"ah!"
Obito suddenly let out a shrill scream and punched the mirror.
The mirror shattered, and glass shards flew everywhere.
But the moment he threw his punch, something unexpected happened.
The chakra that overflowed from him in his anger was no longer the violent, life-giving power of Wood Release that it used to possess.
It becomes cold, sticky, and highly corrosive.
This energy condensed in the air, transforming into several black needles as thin as hair, which shot out with his punching motion.
The flying needles made no sound.
They seemed to blend into the darkness itself.
It made only a faint whooshing sound before plunging into the opposite stone wall.
"This is…" Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.
Obito was also stunned.
He looked down at his hands, his fingers spreading and then clenching.
With this movement, several more ethereal, dark-colored flying needles condensed at his fingertips, hovering in the air and trembling slightly.
Obito calmed down a bit and closed his eyes to sense things carefully.
My body felt a lightness I'd never experienced before.
It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted and shackles had been removed.
The chakra flowed more smoothly and became colder in the meridians.
It wasn't a change in temperature, but a change in nature, an essential change.
Obito slowly straightened up.
It's too light, so light it's like it has no weight.
He took a step forward.
With a light touch of the ground, my whole body floated out, like a feather, gliding gracefully several meters away.
Obito stood there blankly, looking down at the back of his feet.
There was no force used, nor was there any chakra burst.
He lifted his foot again, this time with a little more force.
Whoosh!
His figure vanished instantly, leaving only a blur as he darted through the cave.
Pure speed and agility.
Each touch of the toes was so light as to make almost no sound, and the body moved freely in the air, like a fish swimming in water or a leaf falling in the wind.
He can even run half a lap sideways on a vertical rock face, then use the momentum to do a somersault and land steadily back on the original spot.
The whole process was smooth and fluid, with a kind of eerie elegance.
"interesting..."
Obito stopped and looked down at his hands.
With a slight thought, the illusory flying needles reappeared.
Obito stared at it for a while, and gradually a sense of understanding began to emerge in his heart.
He raised his hand and threw the fine needle at the stalactites on the top of the cave.
The fine needle traced a very faint path through the air.
Just before it hits, the space around the needle tip suddenly twists.
While it doesn't have the wide range of Obito's Kamui, it is extremely precise and fast.
It's like pinching a point on a piece of fabric with one finger and then gently twisting it.
The black needle pierced through the stalactite.
The moment it hits, the space around the needle tip warps, twisting the matter at the point of contact into nothingness, leaving a smooth, mirror-like hole less than one centimeter in diameter.
Obito raised his hand, and three needles once again materialized at his fingertips.
This time he observed more closely; as the black needle took shape, the space around the needle tip automatically produced a subtle distortion.
That wasn't something he actively controlled; it was more like an inherent property of the black needles themselves, or rather, a natural extension of his Sharingan abilities.
Divine Power Flying Needle.
No hand seals or energy accumulation are needed; a mere thought is enough for the flying needles to take shape, each possessing its own spatial distortion.
Three needles were simultaneously shot at the hardest basalt in the cave.
With three soft sounds, three tiny holes appeared on the stone wall, their depths unfathomable.
Chakra consumption is negligible.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Obito suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the cave—a high-pitched, frenzied, and joyful laugh.
"I see.I see."
As positive results subside and negative results surge, mental strength rises accordingly.
Kamui has transformed from a visual technique into a bodily instinct.
Their strength has increased dramatically.
Obito picked up another piece of fallen moss from the ground.
He pinched the moss and tossed it gently.
Moss floats in the air.
Otto touched the ground with his toes, his body leaping lightly into the air, his toes gently touching the falling moss.
The soft moss actually supported his weight, allowing him to rise again with its help.
Lightness skill.
Obito landed gracefully, his breathing even and his heartbeat not even quickening.
He looked down at his hands, then touched his face, and suddenly thought, "This isn't so bad."
Very strong.
He regained his confidence.
Just then, footsteps were heard at the entrance of the cave.
Sasuke walked in.
He went out again today, I don't know where he went, and when he came back his face was even worse than usual.
Seeing Obito standing in the center of the cave, he frowned, his words habitually arrogant.
"Hey, our Lord Madara isn't hiding in a corner getting moldy today?"
Obito didn't move his feet, but slowly turned his head 160 degrees, the hole under his mask facing Sasuke, and remained motionless.
"Sasuke-kun."
"You seem.to look down on me?"
Sasuke sneered: "What, you're going to mutate just because I said a few words to you?Trying to play the monster with me?"
Obito chuckled, his limbs twisting strangely.
Beneath the wide sleeves, his index and middle fingers were brought together, and he flicked them lightly in Sasuke's direction.
Three flying needles have already been launched.
It lacked both imposing presence and the brilliance of ninjutsu.
Sasuke, however, felt his hair stand on end!
That's an instinct honed through countless acts of recklessness!
The Sharingan activated instantly, and the tomoe spun rapidly.
In the instant the flying needles were about to hit him, he also saw the trajectory of those black needles.
One arrow aimed at the space between the eyebrows, the other at the throat.One arrow is aimed directly at the heart, targeting the vital organs!
"court death!"
Sasuke roared and retreated rapidly.
Purple chakra erupted from his body, and the rib-shaped Susanoo skeleton instantly took shape, protecting him in the center.
Almost simultaneously with the Susanoo armor covering the body, a slight cracking sound came from the breastplate of the Susanoo skeleton.
Sasuke's gaze was fixed on the Susanoo armor.
The thin needle wasn't deflected; it seemed to stick to the Susanoo skeleton, melting a hole in the breastplate that could almost withstand a Tailed Beast Ball.
At the edge of the hole, Susanoo's skeleton broke apart inch by inch, spreading out spiderweb-like cracks.
The second needle came right away, and Sasuke narrowly ducked to avoid it.
The distorted ripples shaved across Sasuke's scalp, instantly leaving half of his head bald.
The third needle had already pierced through the gap in Susanoo's collapse, heading straight for Sasuke's throat.
Sasuke's face turned deathly pale.His body's instincts had taken over his thinking.Chakra covered his entire body, and the Chidori Stream stimulated his cells, causing him to retreat desperately at his own limit.
Obito moved too.
His robe fluttered, and with a flick of his right toe, he picked up a pebble.With a side kick, the pebble flew toward Sasuke with a whoosh.
It exploded again in mid-air, turning into even smaller fragments.
It left only a trail of dust in its wake; it was incredibly fast!
His figure seemed to appear simultaneously on all the rubble, using each stone as leverage to move sideways.
They arrived before Sasuke could even land after his jump.
Sasuke's Sharingan saw it.
But he couldn't react in time.The speed of Chidori Stream was already his current limit, and what Obito was showing now was unbelievable.
With his back to Sasuke, Obito delivered a powerful back kick.
Sasuke is retreating with all his might, his center of gravity completely backward.
The kick came from behind, turning his retreat into a forward throw.
The last flying needle that followed Sasuke's attack once again overlapped with the parabola of his lunge.
The flying needle pierced Sasuke's right thigh.
Sasuke felt his knee buckle, followed by a tearing pain.
He looked down and saw a transparent hole in the middle of his thigh, running from front to back with smooth edges.The flesh and blood around the wound were twisted away the moment they came into contact.
"Ah.you son of a bitch!"
Sasuke knelt on one knee, his hand covering his wound.
He looked up, staring at Obito with a terrified expression.
Obito slowly straightened the hem of his clothes and walked up to Sasuke with a smile.
"Sasuke-kun."
He placed his palm on Sasuke's shoulder and said softly.
"This is to teach you a lesson!"
"If you dare to talk to me like that again, I won't let you off so easily."
Sasuke's face bulged with veins as he struggled to stand up.
He raised his eyes and stared intently at Obito, his crimson pupils filled with rage.
He finally managed to fuse with the first generation of cells and enhance his strength, greatly increasing his power.
As a result, he was completely suppressed by this sarcastic guy?
Obito withdrew his hand from Sasuke's shoulder and leisurely walked into the depths of the cave.
His black robe swayed slightly in the cold wind as he moved with light steps.
A soft humming sound drifted from afar.
It sounded like some kind of ancient chordal tune, with a mournful melody and lyrics that were difficult to understand.
In such an environment, such a sound only sends chills down one's spine.
Orochimaru came over, helped Sasuke up, and handed him a bottle of hemostatic medicine.
"Sasuke-kun, let's treat your wounds first.We're in the same boat for now.I believe you'll be the strongest.Calm down!"
Sasuke didn't speak, but reached out and touched his bald head, his expression ferocious, and even bit his lip until it was stained with scarlet blood.
