Chapter 786 Obito's Relentless Pursuit
Chapter 786 Obito's Relentless Pursuit
In the vast, windswept desert of the Land of Wind.
As soon as Ye Cang's voice rang out, the people around him quickly went on alert, and the atmosphere became tense.
A rhythmic round of applause followed.
"Clap clap clap..."
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly rose from the ground.
It was Obito!
He clapped his hands as he slowly straightened up, a half-smile on his face.
Yekura and the other Sunagakure ninjas instantly became alert, gripping their weapons tightly and staring intently at the mysterious and dangerous figure before them.
It's important to know that although Obito's image had already been listed on the black market's bounty list.
However, five years passed, and he disappeared without a trace, as if he had vanished into thin air, and was gradually forgotten by the world.
However, before this, Rasa had revealed that Obito had come to capture him, so when Pakura saw Obito, she naturally recognized him immediately.
Upon seeing Obito appear, she couldn't help but inwardly groan, realizing that the information she had received earlier was indeed true.
Rasa was indeed taken away by Obito.
Yekura did not rush to respond to Obito's words, but instead made a gesture.
Upon receiving the order, the Sand Village members scattered at an extremely fast speed, forming an encirclement.
At the same time, Yekura was also keeping an eye on Obito's every move out of the corner of her eye.
As expected, when Obito saw Rasa bound like a mummy, his gaze involuntarily followed her.
Seeing this, Yecang raised his palm again without hesitation and quickly made a gesture to Maki and his companions.
Although everyone's face was unusually solemn and grim, they knew the situation was urgent and could only obediently follow orders.
Finally, Yekura took a deep breath and broke the silence: "Obito, what do you want to do?"
Obito, with his Mangekyou Sharingan, betrayed the Uchiha clan.
His ability to travel through time and space, as well as his magical skills such as intangibility, had long been considered important intelligence by the Akatsuki organization and released into the black market.
Everyone knows that Obito is extremely difficult to deal with, and even the usually confident Yekura is now completely unsure of herself.
Obito's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a cold smile, but he didn't say a word. His figure flashed, and he pounced forward like a ghost.
Wind Release: Sandstorm Technique!
With his sharp eyes, Yekura immediately recognized that Obito's target was none other than the Jinchūriki, Rasa.
At this critical moment, several Sand Village ninjas who had just received Yekura's tactical hand signal unhesitatingly unleashed this basic Wind Release ninjutsu.
A whooshing sound rang out.
·Hoo...·
Several incredibly powerful gusts of wind suddenly erupted from the mouths of the Sand Village ninjas, like raging dragons, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Accompanied by a series of muffled, loud thuds,
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The once flat desert was instantly blasted into several large craters, and countless yellow sands flew into the sky.
In an instant, the entire area was shrouded in surging yellow sand, obscuring the sky and making people feel as if they were in a chaotic and hazy world, where it was difficult to distinguish one's own hand from another.
Obito, who was in the middle of it, disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
However, Obito merely snorted coldly, and then decisively used the Intangibility Technique, instantly disappearing underground. Relying on his keen senses, he rapidly pursued Rasa's location, which he had sensed beforehand.
And so, after burrowing hundreds of meters underground, Obito finally emerged from the ground.
When he emerged from the ground, he realized that he was out of the range of the Sandstorm spell.
When he emerged from underground, he saw that the ninjas of Sunagakure had split into two distinct groups.
One of them, led by Yekura herself, consisted of four Sand Village ninjas and the heavily injured Rasa, who were rushing rapidly in one direction.
The other team consisted of those responsible for the sealing work. They carried heavy rolls of cloth on their backs and hurriedly fled in another direction.
The four ninjas traveling with Yekura were all powerful Jonin.
In contrast, the sealing team members in the other team, while possessing some combat capabilities, are relatively weak overall.
At this point, those who stayed behind would only be killed.
As expected, Obito completely disregarded the weaker members of the sealing team, not even bothering to glance at them.
His blood-red eyes were fixed on the departing figures of Ye Cang and his group. Without hesitation, he leaped forward and pounced on them like a ghost.
When Yekura and the other four noticed Obito's relentless pursuit from behind, they knew something was wrong.
However, they did not panic; instead, they quickly devised a countermeasure.
At Yecang's command, the other four threw Luosha, who was wrapped up tightly like a mummy, onto the ground.
Then, they quickly formed a circle around Yekura and took their positions.
Immediately afterwards, the five people simultaneously began to form hand seals rapidly, their movements perfectly synchronized, as if they had practiced countless times.
Just as Obito was getting closer, the four of them managed to complete the hand seals at the last minute.
One of the Jonin shouted:
"Wind Release: Wind Whirlwind Blade Dance!"
Before he finished speaking, the other four people took a deep breath, puffed out their cheeks, and exhaled continuously.
In an instant, a large number of translucent wind blades appeared out of thin air and began to swirl rapidly around them.
These wind blades, like streaks of sharp lightning, flashed with a chilling light, seemingly poised to deliver a fatal blow to anyone who dared to approach.
"Blazing Release: Dazzling Fire Rings!"
Ye Cang quickly spun her hands, and instantly, four huge, blazing fireballs appeared in her hands.
Immediately afterwards, the four fireballs seemed to come alive, cracking open and gradually shrinking.
Each time it splits, the number multiplies, first from four to sixteen, then from sixteen to sixty-four, and so on, eventually forming more than a thousand tiny fireballs.
These little fireballs, like a group of mischievous sprites, swirled and danced around Yecang, as if a dazzling star ring tightly encircled her.
Faced with such a magnificent sight, Obito was fearless and stepped steadily into the whirlwind formed by wind blades.
But those incredibly sharp, whistling wind blades had absolutely no effect on him.
Obito's figure was like a phantom, and no matter how the wind blades moved, they could not touch him at all.
