Chapter 227: A frog at the bottom of the well, the power of time!

The roar of chakra was so harsh, Yuzhi felt this tide-like surging chakra like ocean waves; although his expression was somewhat solemn, his heart was happy.

Yishi could no longer withstand the pressure now, and had to let himself fully 'revive'!

Although far away, Yuzhi could still clearly see Yishi's changes.

His skin and hair instantly turned pale, his forehead had only one eyebrow, and a single 'long curved horn' grew on his head.

Moreover, his clothing changed at this moment, the original monk's robe turned into an elegant, fitted white long-sleeved tailcoat and a pair of black pants.

Besides this, he had a vertical row of magatama tattoos on his chest and back, and his sleeves also bore patterns matching the tattoos.

Although this appearance seemed utterly mismatched in Yuzhi's view, this guy's aura was truly not comparable to the previous 'Merciful String' state!

In the continually explosively expanding chakra, Yishi's voice appeared again before Yuzhi.

His gaze was solemn, looking as if he wanted to eat someone!

Don't look at me with that gaze; instead, you should be grateful to me.

Yuzhi, without changing expression, let himself float up slightly in the sky's height, then with arms crossed he looked down at the complete-bodied Yishi.

After all, you've recovered to your full state; shouldn't you thank me a bit?

Although, you're really not far from death now.

Yishi, hearing Yuzhi's words, although his expression was neither warm nor cold, his clenched fists showed his inner anger and killing intent.

Even if he had made mental preparations, even if he knew this operation wouldn't be simple.

But being forced to fully revive himself, this still exceeded his expectations; he only wanted to use the 'Second Wedge' state to cope, but.

Moreover, Yuzhi's words made him somewhat speculate; he stared at Yuzhi, and his eyes already showed cross-shaped pupils.

You seem to know my situation well; normally, even if you knew, you shouldn't know too much—are you Ōtsutsuki Kaguya or someone else?

Are you talking about that so-called inheritance?

Yuzhi tilted his head, his face still bearing a hint of a smile.

After I completed my autonomous metamorphosis, my mind gained some information, although vague and incomplete, but why can't I analyze some other things?

Moreover, don't weigh your so-called inheritance too heavily; I also don't necessarily need your so-called inheritance!

That's really boastful talk.

Yishi's face grew even darker; he wasn't entirely sure whether Yuzhi's words were true, but one thing he absolutely did not accept: the Ōtsutsuki certainly need their own inheritance!

Alright, whether it's boastful talk doesn't matter, after all I never thought of making you acknowledge me, nor did I ever think you could see.

Yuzhi let out a slight sigh; his ninja sword once again pointed directly at Yishi.

Your current state is not bad, but I'm curious about one thing: how long can this body hold out, and how long can you still live?

Truly arrogant to the extreme!

Yishi let out an angry roar, and the black rod recongealed in his hand at this moment.

His eyes spun rapidly; when his momentum fully peaked, in an instant he flashed and fiercely swept the black rod sideways at Yuzhi.

At this moment Yishi had already fully exerted all his strength; knowing his situation now, he had to fight desperately no matter what.

Desperate rat jumping over the wall?

And Yuzhi's face remained calm; Yishi would definitely fight desperately, which was within his expectations, after all.

Give it your all, you don't have much time left!

Although he still seemed somewhat absent-minded, Yuzhi was now fully focused.

Having come to this point, whoever does not give it their all, a slight mistake will only lead to death!

A profound blade aura was cut out by Yuzhi's sword; two earth-shaking forces collided violently in midair.

A speck of black light burst forth, and immediately the whole sky seemed to twist.

Whether it's the relatively nearby Leaf Village forces, or other civilians in the Land of Lightning far away.

Or people elsewhere in the ninja world, they involuntarily turned their gaze toward this direction.

Such magnificent power bursting forth is truly beyond their imagination. —

Since you seek death, I'll just send you on your way early!

His words were so calm; as soon as his voice fell, the chakra prayer beads behind her exploded with endless roaring, shooting straight toward Obito!

However, at this moment Obito suddenly lifted his head; his eyes were already calm to the point of having no ripple, even

looking not at all like a human!

Facing this surging chakra prayer bead, he suddenly waved one hand; the Yin-Yang Release power instantly burst forth, a black shield blocking in front of him.

Boom, boom, boom——

The booming explosion sounds never ceased, but the distant Hikari slightly raised an eyebrow.

Has the strength increased that much?

Hikari somewhat showed surprise; Obito's strength increase actually wasn't unexpected, after all Obito directly sealed a Ten-Tails inside his body.

What exactly is the Ten-Tails? Hikari had heard Yuzhi say that sealing such a terrifying thing into Obito's body, if his strength didn't increase it would be worth strange!

Whoa——

Just as Hikari was observing, amidst the endless roaring a beast-like howl suddenly rang out; the next moment the surrounding smoke and dust dispersed, Obito stared fixedly at the Hikari in the sky.

His raised arm suddenly gave a slight shake; his palm appeared a tiny round hole, and the black Truth-Seeking Orb turned conical and was poured into it.

Hum——

When all this was done, his figure vanished in an instant, suddenly rushing toward Hikari's position!

That fast?

Hikari raised an eyebrow; she instantly saw that Obito was not relying on space techniques, but purely using his own speed to move.

Such speed also left Hikari somewhat speechless, moreover she also noticed something.

This guy seems to have no consciousness of his own; he's just like a beast.

Hikari could naturally sense Obito's current state; the power of the Ten-Tails was never a joke, or rather, any power involving tailed beasts was no laughing matter.

Even if they could easily deal with the tailed beasts, these chakra "monsters" all possess their own will; wanting to completely dominate and control them is truly not a simple matter.

But for her, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing, after all

Beasts are easier to handle, easier to put a leash on!

The Rinnegan turned slightly; just as Obito was about to approach Hikari, pitch-black flames suddenly appeared all around her!

The black flames, carrying an endless aura of destruction, swirled around Hikari like a storm, and at that very moment Obito's figure suddenly appeared.

The Truth-Seeking Orb on the back of his hand instantly elongated, only to collide head-on with Hikari's black flames!

Hikari, who had already activated the Rinnegan Chakra Mode, possessed strength far beyond the ordinary, and the black flames she used were no ordinary Amaterasu.

The Amaterasu technique had, through the joint efforts of Yuzhi and her, become a brand-new Fire Release!

Now, when Hikari uses Fire Release, she naturally adds more power of other attributes.

For example, senjutsu, for example, tailed beast chakra, for example, Yin-Yang Release!

"Grr——"

The moment Obito's body touched the black flames, he almost instinctively let out an anguished cry.

He is now essentially controlled by the Ten-Tails, yet his basic senses remain; this black flame, mixed with so much power, is unbearable even for the Ten-Tails!

"As expected, you can't take it, then"

Obito's reaction was instantly seized by Hikari; Yuzhi had told her that when facing those Ōtsutsuki, one must counter with senjutsu and Yin-Yang Release.

And indeed, these inherently difficult-to-control powers truly have their unique advantages, and Hikari immediately seized this opportunity!

Her eyes spun rapidly; the chakra prayer beads had already returned to behind her, and the surrounding flames instantly spun even more violently.

In an instant, the violent flames had already engulfed Obito whole, but this time Obito seemed prepared, and in the span of a breath he shifted his whole body once again.

The next instant, he had retreated to the edge of the flames, but his chaotic eyes were full of vigilance, and his body continued to emit smoke.

Obviously he was injured, yet now he had no choice but to undergo recovery again.

"Is that all?"

Hikari looked at Obito in the distance and spoke indifferently.

"If that's all, then I would truly be disappointed, after all you're nothing more than a mere beast, and you really can't make me feel any pressure."

Hikari wasn't speaking nonsense; although the Uchiha's "fine tradition" sometimes made her words overly harsh, it's undeniable that her words are all true.

As the saying goes, lies never hurt people; the truth is a swift blade.

Her words are like a swift blade that repeatedly pierces Obito's heart, repeatedly causing his inner collapse, and this is no exception!

In the recent clash, she already had a rough understanding of Obito's current condition.

With movement speed surpassing limits, a simple and direct attack style, plus the power of the Truth-Seeking Orb, he is absolutely capable of steadily defeating the vast majority of ninja in the shinobi world.

But without wisdom, he's merely a beast; in Hikari's view, whether it's Obito's own will or the current Ten-Tails' will, they're actually not much different.

But humans at least know how to fight to their advantage, whereas beasts mostly follow instinct.

"Huh?"

What left Hikari somewhat speechless was that she noticed Obito still twitching slightly, as if he were still struggling to seize control of his own body, which amused her a bit.

Although she was worried about Yuzhi's situation, once she activated the Rinnegan Chakra Mode, she could sense that Yuzhi currently held the absolute advantage.

Moreover, if she needed to support him, she could get there instantly, and she also intended to do something to extend the duration of her own Rinnegan Chakra Mode.

"Do you still have a will to resist? Too bad I don't have time to play with you, as I said"

As she spoke, Hikari raised her finger.

On her slender finger, the chakra prayer beads quickly gathered together, and her chakra along with those black flames were extremely compressed into those beads.

The beads fused with the flames and her chakra, and soon a rotating black chakra sphere appeared on her fingertip.

At this moment, the violent chakra on her fingertip was so obedient, yet its destructive power was so unsettling!

"I just want to send you on your way, sewer rat."

As soon as her words fell, the black sphere shot toward Obito instantly, and its destructive power erupted instantly.

The flames seemed to turn into chains that sealed off all of Obito's movement trajectories, accompanied by a vortex-storm-like power explosion, detonating violently beside him!

Boom——

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering sound rang out, accompanied by the roar of power that altered the terrain.

A blinding white light shot up into the sky, its dazzling radiance illuminating the entire horizon!

The violent roar plunged almost the entire Land of Lightning into chaos; even the ninjas inside Cloud Village instinctively covered their ears.

The strong aftershocks swept over, forcing Jiraiya and those Leaf Village ninjas to construct an Earth Release offensive for protection.

Fortunately, such an impact came quickly and also passed quickly.

She remained standing firm in the sky; she lowered her hand, and a transparent light curtain vanished with her motion, appearing unscathed, still as noble and aloof as ever.

As for Obito, on the other hand, he lay unable to rise within the explosion's huge crater, the only thing that made Hikari slightly frown being...

At this moment, Obito's body had swollen up, making him look like a ball of flesh.

"What on earth is going on?"

In the distance, Jiraiya still maintained Sage Mode, controlling the massive earthen wall before him to protect the safety of all Leaf Village ninjas.

Of course, the other ninjas were also exerting themselves, but even so, their earthen wall in front was swaying on the verge of collapse, looking like it could barely hold.

For all of them today, it was truly a day of extreme excitement and extreme despair.

The excitement naturally came from witnessing the power of their Hokage Yuzhi; likewise they saw the Hokage's lady, that low‑key goddess rumored to be no weaker than Yuzhi, and wondered just what strength she possessed!

But the cause of their despair was also seeing the power these two unleashed, for they realized that if they lagged even a little, their fate would be utter annihilation.

They didn't blame Yuzhi and Hikari; the enemy was so terrifying that the destruction it caused reaching them was unavoidable.

Now they blame themselves, wondering how they could have run so slowly.

But what exactly are the Hokage and Lady Hikari dealing with? What kind of person could have such power?

Countless Leaf ninja couldn't help but have this thought pop into their minds at this moment, and their gazes involuntarily turned toward Ziraiye.

Especially Naruto, Sasuke, and Ningci, the three of them standing right beside Ziraiye, their gazes were the most fervent.

Yuzhi usually looks mild and gentle, even in their eyes somewhat having a 'bad taste', after all the three of them haven't been spared from 'training'.

Even though they firmly believe Yuzhi's power is so strong as to be unmatchable, they simply cannot imagine where that limit lies.

It's like an ordinary person dreaming of meeting a goddess, then going together to a hotel, things progressing naturally to the crucial point, only to wake up right then.

The reason is simple; in plain terms: your brain's graphics card cannot render the missing scenes you have never experienced.

When Yuzhi participated in battle, they were still little kids who couldn't even come to the front lines to watch; finally getting a chance to see once, Yuzhi settled the battle with a single black sphere.

And Hikari is even more excessive; she hardly ever lifts a hand in front of these kids, making it even harder for them to imagine.

Besides being unable to imagine just how strong Yuzhi and they are, they also can't figure out what kind of enemy could fight these two beings, who are already comparable to gods, to this extent!

Alright, stop looking at me and stop asking; taking advantage of this gap, let's hurry and go!

Ziraiye is also feeling especially troubled now; he's also considering whether to tell these ninjas some secrets.

But after thinking it over, he feels he'd rather not take on such responsibility; letting Yuzhi handle any trouble is fine, he's too lazy to say all that.

But you must give it your all; you won last time, you can't lose this time.

Ziraiye took a deep breath, his gaze swept forward, and hearing the continual rumbling, he silently recited a phrase in his heart.

I have already taken up my responsibility; I will make up for everything I missed, but I still need someone to guide me.

You are the best guide, the one who awakens me, and I will continue to have you guide me in creating a peaceful golden age!

——

Was it Obito who did this?

Damn bastard, he stole my Rinnegan!

On the other side of the shattered land, Madara Uchiha looked at Nagato, whose eyes were empty, and asked in a low voice, while Nagato spoke up, seeming extremely angry.

It seems he cannot let go of Obito's betrayal, nor understand why Obito would do such a thing!

Although his face looks fierce, his heart actually has few thoughts; at most he feels a sense of bewildered loss.

The Rinnegan has accompanied him for so many years; he's long been accustomed to the power of those eyes.

Now suddenly losing those eyes, he feels somewhat unaccustomed, yet at the same time he suddenly feels an extraordinary lightness.

It's as if something suppressing him has been removed; his power, his chakra, and even his vitality are surging at this moment.

The Rinnegan isn't his; it's even been a stumbling block limiting his path forward, and now without this obstacle, Nagato naturally feels different!

But one must go all out in an act; even if he truly isn't afraid of death, after all he has a backup plan, but if possible he'd rather not trouble others and is still willing to play along.

Moreover, he can sense the incoming person, one of whom has always been by Obito's side; although he doesn't know what they will do, putting on an act doesn't matter.

Looks like that kid has completely betrayed us.

Madara Uchiha lightly nodded, then stood up and continued to ask.

But the Rinnegan is in your hands, yet that guy could still launch a sneak attack; it's really useless.

Hmph!

Nagato let out a cold snort, his fists slightly clenched, appearing especially angry, though he himself didn't feel much.

Obito indeed launched a sneak attack, but in Nagato's view Obito's achievement is still inferior to that of the 'mysterious person'!

Back then, that 'mysterious person' defeated him with a single move, and he didn't even have any chance to resist.

But Obito is different; he can sense that if he wanted, Obito probably has no way to obtain the Rinnegan from him.

Therefore, after a moment's thought, he decisively chose to hold back; no matter how much he held back, he only lost his eyes, yet he himself managed to escape from Obito's side smoothly.

As for whether Obito will pursue, he can't say for sure, but breaking free from Obito's control is enough for him.

The facts show that Obito seems to have only the Rinnegan as his goal; obtaining it is success for him, and he never wondered why things went so smoothly for him.

Looks like Obito is proceeding exactly according to our plan.

Madara Uchiha observed Nagato for a while; after confirming that guy was fine, besides marveling at his luck, he also turned his head to look at Black Zetsu.

He didn't want to show any emotion, but what surprised him was that Black Zetsu appeared somewhat dazed at this moment.

What's wrong with you?

I I'm fine.

Black Zetsu paused for a moment, then quickly came to his senses.

I am also surprised; I didn't expect Obito to be so foolish, and I am also surprised that the strength of Uchiha Haori and them seems somewhat too strong.

Furthermore, they seem to be fighting different opponents; this we must be careful about.

Besides being shocked by that woman in the sky, Black Zetsu also felt two vast streams of chakra constantly surging.

Such chakra aura is remarkably similar to his mother's; he knows one is Yuzhi, and the other.

Could it be that they have come?

Black Zetsu was doubtful; if those people came, then this world would truly be doomed!

Especially since he himself doesn't know why, that other aura fills him with dread, as if a fear emanating from the soul.

But he cannot say these things, nor dare to; he now only wishes Madara Uchiha would hurry and act according to the plan.

Indeed, it seems this operation encountered an accident, huh?

Madara nodded; it's more than just an accident—originally it should have been Nagato versus Yuzhi in battle, but the situation has turned into this, which truly leaves him incredulous.

Moreover, he also sensed the emergence of another chakra, realizing that yet another outsider has appeared!

But now he doesn't have much to worry about; besides believing in Yuzhi, he also believes in himself.

Because this time, he will inevitably be resurrected, he will inevitably make some changes, and he will inevitably stand on equal footing with these people!

Let's go, time waits for no one; that Obito bastard has already fulfilled his mission.

Ban took a deep breath, then spoke in a low voice.

"Hmm."

Hei Jue felt impatient, his gaze again subtly shifted toward the mysterious, noble woman in the sky, but soon he whispered.

"What do you plan to do with this guy?"

"Changmen?"

Ban gave a disdainful glance and replied casually.

"Let him fend for himself; in this torrent of chakra he has no room to survive, even with his previous luck!"

As soon as the words finished, Ban's figure vanished instantly, and after Hei Jue gave Changmen a glance, he also left cleanly.

He now has no mind for many questions; he only wants to figure out what happened, especially who that woman is!

"Did they leave?"

Sensing the two's departure, Changmen let out a slight sigh, then fumbled as if blind to pull out a scroll.

He unsealed it, and two white eyeballs appeared on the scroll; he gently lifted them and pressed them into his eye sockets.

Fresh blood seeped from his corners again, and when chakra linked all the vessels, in an instant Changmen saw light once more!

Looking at the ruined surroundings, he couldn't help but shake his head in self‑mockery.

"Looks like my luck is indeed good; I haven't died."

He stood up, still not fully accustomed to the Byakugan infusion, especially feeling his chakra reacting strangely with the eyes.

This surprised him, and made it clear he needed to stay farther away.

"Now, I only need to wait for a result."

"The new world is truly something to yearn for."

——

"Is this a metamorphosis?"

Looking at the big meatball before her, Hikari slightly furrowed her brows.

Yet she never held the notion of "not exploiting others' peril"; as a ninja, the most important principle is "use any means necessary!"

This was taught to her by her past experiences, and also by Yuzhi.

Perhaps her own history makes her consider a bit, but she will definitely obey Yuzhi's words!

The chakra bead once again crazily condensed, and the next instant the prayer bead whistled out, fierce as a sword, charging toward Obito's massive meatball.

Yet at this moment, within Obito's consciousness, he was struggling hard against the Ten‑Tails' power.

The Ten‑Tails, as the source of chakra, is overwhelmingly powerful.

Under such colossal force, Obito is merely a mortal in the Ten‑Tails' eyes.

Those who attempt to dominate or control it, if they were a great vessel the Ten‑Tails would have little room to resist, but a mortal like Obito would only rip this guy's soul apart!

"Ah!"

Deep in his soul, Obito let out a hysterical scream.

The raging Ten‑Tails was dismembering his soul, and in this situation he pitifully realized he had no resistance at all.

This was something he never imagined, and the tearing made him increasingly lost, gradually erasing his past memories.

"No, no."

His soul muttered unconsciously, and he felt his will growing weaker, as if truly on the brink of total destruction.

In his world, everything seemed to crumble, and the Ten‑Tails' power, sensing this, grew even more ferocious, as if to erase his last lingering obsession!

Once this is achieved, the Ten‑Tails will reappear, and Obito will become nourishment fully merged into the Ten‑Tails' body.

But at that moment, Obito does not become the Ten‑Tails' jinchuriki; instead the Ten‑Tails completely absorbs him.

"No! No!"

Deep in his soul, as his soul and memories kept shattering, Obito's cries and roars grew even more feral.

Everything in his soul grew increasingly vague, his inner obsession became more fragmented, and his soul at this moment fell to pieces.

Yet at that instant, an unprecedented resolve surged from deep within his soul.

"No! I haven't changed this world yet, I haven't created a world of my own!"

"I haven't defeated Uchiha Haori yet, I haven't taken back what's mine from this thief!"

"Lin, Kakashi, they are all products of a false world; I haven't forged that world without Yuzhi!"

"Another me can be with Lin, so why can't I!"

"This isn't the world I want, this isn't my world, I haven't achieved all this; how could I be dismembered by you beast!"

Angry roars and howls echoed deep within his soul, and an inexplicable, incredible resolve appeared in his eyes.

In the original work, his obsession with Lin, his mind filled with women, somehow allowed him to resist the Ten‑Tails' dismemberment.

Now his inner obsession is deeper, his hatred for this world greater, and this resolve turns into boundless power!

Buzz—

Under that resolve's power, his shattered soul was forcibly pieced together, even the Ten‑Tails' massive chakra could not affect it.

In the outside world, the moment the chakra bead was about to hit him, his bloated, corpulent body suddenly contracted.

Boom—

Amid the roar, a terrifying chakra surged skyward, a white pillar of light descended, and within it Obito's figure hovered slowly in mid‑air.

Behind him, a cross‑shaped fire appeared on his ugly scales.

The Dao‑seeking Jewel also slowly condensed, finally lingering behind him; at this moment he finally underwent metamorphosis, and in the battle with the Ten‑Tails he finally mastered everything!

"What a marvelous feeling, such an incredible power—this is the Six Paths' power?"

Feeling his own overwhelming power, Obito's gaze slowly turned to Hikari, and a feral smile spread across his face.

Uchiha Ying, now you say, who is the rat in the sewer, who is the frog at the bottom of the well?

A rat is always a rat; no matter what it does, it can never turn over.

Although Hikari felt some regret that this guy had completed his transformation so quickly, this wasn't a big deal.

On the contrary, seeing Obito's light at this moment, Hikari's eyes faintly showed excitement.

"This is exactly that power, the same power as those other external Great Bamboo Trees!"

Fear did not appear in Hikari; on the contrary, at this moment she only had anticipation.

External enemies came one after another, but Hikari never imagined standing behind Yuzhi waiting for the result.

Even though for most of the time Yuzhi wouldn't let her act, she never relaxed her demands on herself.

Her belief never changed either; she wanted to stand together with Yuzhi, not hide behind him!

Now Yuzhi is fighting an unknown Great Bamboo Tree, and her inner self also longs to feel just how strong these Great Bamboo Trees are.

This not only allows fighting side by side with Yuzhi, but also serves as consideration for her own future.

"Although I still need to settle down, actually understanding their abilities and strength is better for me, and lets me be more confident."

Hikari's eyes faintly turned dangerous, although being with Yuzhi for so many years had turned her from a girl into a young woman, giving her a gentle, jade-like feeling.

But the Uchiha bloodline is forever that of a battle maniac, forever that of a madman!

Her chakra surged even more at this moment, and her aura became even more divine and pure.

"And even if the frog at the bottom of the well came to the well's mouth and saw the vast heavens and earth, it still could not comprehend the grandeur of the heavens and earth."

"What is being said, is people like you!"

—

"Really impressive, but I just want to ask you one thing: how long do you think you can hold out?"

On another battlefield, Yuzhi and Yishi were fighting, and it was hard to tell who was winning.

Yishi's ferocity, Yuzhi had prepared for, but when this guy fully recovered his true form, the overwhelming pressure really startled Yuzhi.

This guy excelled in both taijutsu and ninjutsu, and his tactical skills were extremely terrifying; this time Yuzhi ended up suffering a loss silently.

Originally, tactical skills should have been Yuzhi's strong point, but because he improved too fast without time to settle, his control over his own power did not reach its best.

But fortunately, even if Yuzhi had no time to settle, some fighting styles are buried in the soul.

Even if he couldn't perfectly control his power, unleashing it to the maximum extent was effortless, whereas Yishi had to scrape and scrape.

After all, his current body simply cannot withstand such formidable power; after all, although he has fully revived, his body truly cannot sustain it.

Just as Yuzhi is now asking him this question, how long can he hold on?

Yishi will not say this answer, but this answer keeps ringing a warning bell for him.

"Damn it! Bastard!"

Yishi cursed Yuzhi in his heart; although Yuzhi had not used anything like 'Particle Mode', the Immortal Technique, Yin Yang Release, and the power of the Ten Tails were mixed together.

Combined with his own power that belongs to the Great Bamboo Tree, the effect could be even better than that of 'Particle Mode'.

His attack may not consume life, but it can be even more terrifying than consuming life.

Every time Yishi needs to give his all to block and dodge; this invisibly adds to his own consumption, basically it's a Life-Taking Talisman.

"We can't continue like this, keep fighting like this."

Yishi, while responding to Yuzhi's offensive, was also quickly thinking about what to do.

"Fighting me, you still dare to space out?"

But just then, Yuzhi's cold voice suddenly rang out; the next instant, Yuzhi's Ninja Sword had already sliced through the sky, coming straight down heavily upon his body.

"Hmph!"

Yishi let out a cold snort; in an instant, a black stone tablet directly blocked the edge of Yuzhi's sword.

However, just after Yishi did all that, his expression suddenly changed drastically, because he felt a change in space.

As expected, at the instant Yuzhi's sword fell, a black space crack suddenly appeared at the blade's edge, and the sword body sank into the crack in an instant.

And behind Yishi, a black space crack suddenly appeared; the blade's edge remained locked onto his body and came down heavily!

"Damn bastard!"

Yishi let out an angry roar; his pupil power trembled slightly, and in an instant he vanished from the spot.

Boom—

A huge roaring sound suddenly burst forth; the blade sank into the air, and an invisible huge blade aura suddenly slammed toward the ground.

The next instant, a chasm over a hundred meters deep appeared on the ground, striking almost without end.

The chasm kept expanding until the separation distance reached over a kilometer, then everything ceased.

"You really are good at dodging."

Yuzhi's figure quickly floated toward the sky, while his gaze locked onto an uninhabited area.

"Your pupil technique is really interesting; it almost tricked me."

As Yuzhi's words fell, Yishi's figure slowly emerged; he stared at Yuzhi without speaking, but the solemnity in his eyes was especially profound.

I have seen through everything about you; you won't get a chance.

Seeing Yushi not speak, Yuzhi also did not attack, but instead took the opportunity to recover his own consumption while continuing the spiritual attack.

"Hmph, really boastful."

Yishi stared at Yuzhi, and after a while he contemptuously said:

"Where else can you possibly get better? Don't think I can't see what you're doing!"

"So what if you see it? The one who can't afford to drag on is you."

Yuzhi shook his head indifferently, his chakra wildly gathering, and at the same time he slowly spoke:

"I've already asked you, how long can your body hold out? This is because I'm confident you can't withstand it."

That body, in my eyes, is like a rag patched countless times—though usable, it leaks wind everywhere, constantly deteriorating, and even a slight force can destroy it.

Reviving in such a body, he could not withstand your power at all; once your power covers him, you have already entered the death countdown.

As for your eyes, if I'm not mistaken, one should be a storable object that can be released anytime, anywhere, while the other should be able to freely change the size of objects.

As Yuzhi spoke, Yishi's complexion grew increasingly ugly.

Not a hair's difference; I can only say there is not a hair's difference!

If this weren't their first meeting, Yishi would really suspect that this guy had investigated him beforehand!

"Is it Huiyeji? No, that lowly person doesn't know my technique."

If not seeing through one's own bodily condition is understandable, after all that's the fact; anyone who has reached their level can perceive it.

But 【Great Black Heaven】 and 【Little Name Bikona】 have been figured out like this, which is absolutely something Yishi is unwilling to believe and also somewhat hard to understand!

"How exactly do you know this? What kind of person are you exactly?"

Yishi gritted his teeth and stared at Yuzhi, while Yuzhi wore a look of contempt.

"You've lived in the ninja world for that long, and you've also learned so many ninja techniques, tactics, and skills—haven't you learned anything else?"

As he spoke, Yuzhi's chakra surged violently within him, his very being seeming to burn, and a holy aura condensed on his body.

That lofty, godlike demeanor made people dare not meet his gaze; he slowly raised the long sword in his hand and then calmly spoke.

"The ability to analyze information is a perception that every ninja must learn and master; if you can't even do that, you probably can't become a ninja."

Although you haven't used it many times, I can still see some traces, and that's enough for me.

After all, you're still a frog in a well.

Forget it, I'll ask you again—how long do you think you can hold out?

Yuzhi's words were like a spell, and this question was so deafening and enlightening for Yishi, accompanied by the fading of Yuzhi's voice.

In an instant, Yuzhi had already swung a blade; with the Ninja Sword's descent, Yishi's complexion completely changed at that moment.

Because at that moment, he felt the power of time.
