Chapter 100: Shi Yuan: Foolish Struggle

"Damn it!"

"Hurry up and phase out!!"

Tobi's eyes bulged with rage, already red, now crimson as blood.

But the distance between them was too close!

Shi Yuan's speed was too fast!

Plos!

Shi Yuan's palm pierced Tobi's throat, then, driven by momentum, his entire body surged through Tobi's body forward.

Blood blossomed in midair!

"Wrong feel!!"

Shi Yuan's heart sank; he turned to look at Tobi.

He knew his only chance had been that single moment—afterward, Tobi would surely phase out without hesitation; he had no more opportunity.

Across from him, Tobi clutched his neck with both hands, palms drenched in blood, blood trickling from his lips.

Huh… huh…

Tobi's throat rasped like a broken bellows, his eyes locked onto Shi Yuan, brimming with murderous intent.

At the same time, he felt profound dread!

Too dangerous!

If he hadn't tilted his head slightly just as Shi Yuan's palm neared his throat, and activated phasing at that instant—

He would have been decapitated!

Even so, his neck had been nearly severed halfway!

If not for the immense regenerative power of the First Hokage's cells, he would already be dead!

"So it failed!"

Shi Yuan sighed in disappointment.

"Bastard!!!"

Puff!

Tobi cursed furiously, but what spat out was a mouthful of blood.

"The neck nearly severed has already healed half again so fast!"

"I'll need to study the First Hokage's cells sometime!"

Shi Yuan's heart tightened.

Tobi moved his healed neck, watching Shi Yuan with lingering fear.

"Was that just now a space-time ninjutsu?"

Though phrased as a question, Tobi was utterly certain.

But what he couldn't understand was how Shi Yuan had pinpointed his coordinates.

Whether it was his own Kamui or the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique, teleportation required a fixed target marker.

But Tobi was certain Shi Yuan had left no mark on him.

"Try it again and you'll find out."

Shi Yuan said calmly.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?!"

Tobi snarled in fury.

He knew he could no longer defeat Shi Yuan.

So it was time to retreat!

Shi Yuan had given him too many shocks; just being near him made him uneasy.

But thinking of how Shi Yuan had appeared beside him just now, he dared not move rashly.

"I must test how he locates me!"

Tobi took a deep breath.

He knew this was dangerous, but if he didn't do it, this would be a massive hidden danger.

"Ketsu!"

"Yagura!"

Tobi shouted.

Immediately, a white substance emerged from his body, gradually forming armor that fully enveloped him.

Far away, the Three-Tails was also sprinting rapidly toward them.

"What is he trying to do? Think this thing can block me?"

Shi Yuan was puzzled.

Then he saw Tobi, still in hand-seal formation, sprinting swiftly toward the Three-Tails' position.

"Trying to run?"

Shi Yuan sensed something was off.

But he couldn't let Tobi escape—he immediately gave chase, yet soon felt helpless.

Tobi remained in a constant phasing state; his attacks had no effect.

Then, to Shi Yuan's stunned gaze, Tobi leapt straight into the Three-Tails' mouth.

In midair, Tobi turned back and slowly spoke two words:

"Goodbye!"

Not good!

Ishihara's face changed slightly — he had sensed the coordinates on Obito's body, and Obito had materialized.

"Teleportation Art!"

Whoosh!

Ishihara instantly vanished from where he stood and reappeared inside the Three-Tails' mouth, beside Obito.

Then, at his fastest speed, he slashed out a hand blade.
