Chapter 646: Kamui + Flying Thunder God

After Kakashi's battle ended, Obito walked out.

On the Mist side, Kuriarare Kushimaru walked out from the crowd and headed toward the combat area.

"If only a stronger ninja had come," Obito thought, shaking his head as he watched Kuriarare Kushimaru approach.

For him now, even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist like Kuriarare Kushimaru were somewhat lacking.

Obito's expression displeased Kuriarare Kushimaru—after all, he was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen; didn't he have any pride?

However, Kuriarare Kushimaru did not show this displeasure. No particular reason—times had changed.

Not only might he be unable to defeat Obito, even the Mist Village behind him could not compare to the Leaf Village behind Obito.

"Don't lose as badly as Juzo," Yagura Karatachi silently said to himself, watching the battlefield.

He didn't expect Kuriarare and the others to win; he only hoped they could keep the Mist from losing too much face.

"Go, Obito!" Rin Nohara clenched her right fist, cheering for him.

Feeling Rin Nohara's gaze, Obito unconsciously straightened his back, feeling strength surging endlessly.

In this battle, he not only had to win, but had to win more stylishly than Kakashi!

Actually, the exchange meet had more than one combat area. While Kakashi was fighting Juzo Biwa, there were also jonin fighting in other areas.

However, most people preferred to focus on the battlefield where Kakashi, Obito, and the others were, after all, both sides' ninjas were significant in their respective villages.

"Battle begin!" the referee ninja called out when both were ready.

Whoosh!

Kuriarare Kushimaru burst chakra from his legs and thrust his ninja sword toward Obito.

His ninja sword, though called a sword, was more like an enlarged needle, and his most common attack was a thrust.

Obito injected chakra into his eyes and activated his Sharingan.

Under the enhancement of the Sharingan, Kuriarare Kushimaru's movements appeared slow, and the long, thin sewing needle in his hand was clearly visible.

Clang!

Obito casually took a kunai from his ninja tool pouch, held it horizontally in front of him, and blocked the incoming thrust.

Kuriarare Kushimaru, expression unchanged, rapidly withdrew and then thrust forward again, stabbing sixteen times in an instant, each aimed at vulnerable spots like the eyes, heart, and throat.

If it were an ordinary ninja, they would likely already have a dozen holes in their body and be dead.

But Kuriarare Kushimaru was facing Obito, who had the Mangekyo Sharingan. All of Kuriarare's attacks were completely exposed before Obito.

Added to that was the physical ability enhancement provided by the Breathing Technique.

Blocking Kuriarare Kushimaru's attacks, for Obito, was simply: I see it, then I block it.

Whoosh!

Seeing his attacks had no effect, Kuriarare Kushimaru quickly retreated.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"

Obito rapidly formed hand seals and used his most common opening technique.

"Water Style: Waterfall Jutsu!"

Kuriarare Kushimaru spat out a huge water ball, not only extinguishing the fireball but also turning the remaining water into a great wave surging toward Obito.

Obito focused his breathing to strengthen his body, then burst out chakra to further enhance his physical abilities.

This kind of Water Style didn't have much killing power; the main thing was to watch out for the opponent's follow-up moves, like using the large volume of water from the Waterfall Jutsu to release other Water Style techniques.

However, Kuriarare Kushimaru did not use any more Water Style; instead, he took shuriken from his ninja tool pouch and threw them at Obito.

Such attacks naturally couldn't hit Obito, and he easily dodged them.

"Time's about right. Time to win."

Suddenly, Obito's breathing rhythm changed again.

He focused his breathing to the extreme, burned a large amount of chakra to enter the Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, greatly enhancing his physical abilities and his Fire Element chakra nature transformation capabilities.

If Obito just wanted to win, he could have instantly killed Lisai Chuanwan.

But he wanted to win stylishly and beautifully, so he had to give Lisai Chuanwan some time to show off.

If he didn't let his opponent demonstrate his strength, who would know that the ninja he defeated with his clever tactics was an elite ninja?

After entering the Fire Breathing Chakra Mode, Obito took the initiative to attack, pulling a kunai from his ninja tool pouch and charging at Lisai Chuanwan.

Lisai Chuanwan neither retreated nor advanced, only gripping the Sewing Needle tighter.

When Obito got close, Lisai Chuanwan's left hand suddenly moved.

"Longsword Ninja Art: Ground Spider Stitch!"

Lisai Chuanwan yanked hard, pulling out the steel wires buried in the ground.

While retreating and after blocking the Fire Style earlier, he had taken the opportunity to bury some steel wires, waiting for Obito to charge over.

As soon as Obito came over, the steel wires would instantly severely damage his legs.

At the same time, Lisai Chuanwan stepped forward, thrusting the Sewing Needle tightly gripped in his right hand.

Facing the powerful Obito, he had to go all out to have any chance of winning.

Obito looked calm, simply tossing the kunai in his hand lightly, with no further action.

Shuu!

The steel wire cut across Obito's ankle, but not a single drop of blood flowed out; then it passed through as if through an illusion.

At the same time, the Sewing Needle Lisai Chuanwan thrust at Obito also went straight through Obito's body.

"Huh?" Feeling the sensation of hitting air, Lisai Chuanwan frowned.

Sensing something was wrong, Lisai Chuanwan withdrew his hand and tried to retreat.

Swoosh!

Obito's body disappeared before Lisai Chuanwan's eyes.

"Rasengan!"

The next moment, behind Lisai Chuanwan, where he couldn't see, Obito suddenly appeared holding a chakra orb, slamming it into Lisai Chuanwan's back.

Bang!

The power of the Rasengan burst out violently. Lisai Chuanwan's pupils constricted, and he fell straight to the ground.

Obito stood beside Lisai Chuanwan, just turning his back to the Leaf ninjas.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!?" a Leaf ninja couldn't help exclaiming.

Before the Third Shinobi World War, the Flying Thunder God Technique was not well-known in Konoha.

But during the Third Shinobi World War, Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to massacre many, and Muyue also used the Flying Thunder God Technique in battles against powerful enemies. Later, the two became the Hokage and the Hokage's Assistant respectively.

The combination of fame, accomplishments, and status gave the Flying Thunder God Technique extremely high recognition. Now few Leaf ninjas don't know or recognize the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Obito actually mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. Only three ninjas have learned this technique so far, right?"

"Yeah, before this, only the Second Hokage, the Fourth Hokage, and Minato-sama had mastered it."

The Leaf ninjas looked at Obito with expressions full of surprise.

Every master of the Flying Thunder God Technique was extraordinary, so even though Obito was already considered a super genius in their eyes, they were still surprised that he had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Kamui plus the Flying Thunder God, troublesome space-time ninjutsu…"

Kakashi subconsciously treated Obito as a hypothetical enemy, then found that no matter how he analyzed it, it was difficult to defeat Obito.

Even if Obito was careless, he still had a hard time winning.

Kamui plus the Flying Thunder God gave Obito a high margin for error.

"Konoha has gained another ninja who masters the Flying Thunder God Technique." The Third Mizukage frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

After all, what was done was done, and Kirigakure and Konoha were now allies.

"Even I probably couldn't defeat him in a short time." Yagura Karatachi forgave the badly defeated Lisai Chuanwan.

This time it really couldn't be blamed on Li Xian Chuan Wan being inadequate; Obito was simply too strong.

"Uchiha Obito wins!" the referee announced.

Hearing the referee's announcement, Obito turned and walked towards Rin Nohara and Kakashi, an irrepressible smile on his face.

This was the cool technique he had developed after studying the two Flying Thunder God masters, Minato Namikaze and Muyue. Other things aside, its coolness factor was absolutely perfect.

"Obito, you're amazing. You've already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique," Rin Nohara praised.

"It's okay, I guess. It wasn't really that difficult, since Teacher Muyue taught so well," Obito said modestly on the surface, but inside he was laughing crazily.

Why else had he secretly trained hard in the Flying Thunder God Technique on the ship if not for this moment?

Genius Kakashi?

He, Obito, was the greatest genius!

"Guy's match is about to start," Kakashi said.

Rin Nohara looked towards the fighting area and asked curiously:

"Who is Guy's opponent? I don't seem to remember him."

"If I remember correctly, his name should be Tanikawa Bō. He's a somewhat famous elite among the Kirigakure ninja," Kakashi replied.

Obito looked at Kakashi with slight dissatisfaction, not letting him enjoy his moment a bit longer.

However, Might Guy's match was indeed about to start, so Obito also looked towards the fighting area.

"Begin!"

"Eight Gates: Gate of Opening, open... Gate of Pain, open!"

At the start of the match, Might Guy directly opened the fifth gate of the Eight Gates, terrifying chakra erupting from the gates.

Then he concentrated his breathing to the extreme, entering the Earth Breathing Chakra Mode, greatly enhancing his physical abilities, and his aura surged once again.

Tanikawa Bō's stepping foot faltered under the impact of Might Guy's terrifying aura.

That falter caused Tanikawa Bō to completely lose his chance to attack.

"Morning Eagle!"

Might Guy charged forward rapidly, the terrifying chakra erupting from his body making him look like an eagle in hunting mode.

The observing Kirigakure ninja only glanced at Might Guy's eyes and felt their hair stand on end, as if being stared at by some terrifying entity.

Whoosh!

Tanikawa Bō's vision blurred, and the next moment, Might Guy, with five gates opened and in Earth Breathing Chakra Mode, appeared right before him.

Tanikawa Bō could only raise his hands to defend.

Bang!

Tanikawa Bō felt an incredibly terrifying force transmitted from Might Guy's palm, then he lost consciousness, his body flying like a cannonball and crashing onto the ground.

Silence—

In the entire exchange venue, aside from the sounds of other fights, there was no other noise.

The Kirigakure ninja stared in immense shock at the green figure.

Although Li Xian Chuan Wan and Biwa Juzo had also lost miserably, they at least exchanged a few moves. Tanikawa Bō was truly one-shotted.

He was basically defeated the moment the match started without even launching an attack.

"Is that all?" Might Guy thought to himself.

Morning Eagle was a new taijutsu he had developed, a substitute for Golden Skyline that was less damaging to the fingers but also less powerful.

He hadn't even opened the sixth gate, nor used Golden Skyline or Daytime Tiger, yet his opponent couldn't even withstand one blow.

This kind of ninja couldn't hone his taijutsu; their strength was too ordinary.

This left Might Guy somewhat disappointed; he had thought his opponent would be on the same level as Kitsuchi of Iwagakure.

"Even faster and stronger," Hoshigaki Kisame said with a grave expression.

He had been defeated by Might Guy three times, but under his hard training, the gap between them not only didn't shorten, but even widened.

"The gap between Kirigakure and Konoha is this large? The village's elites are being defeated like this by Konoha's genius youths," a Kirigakure ninja thought with a grim expression.

Tanigawa Bō and the two Swordsmen of the Mist were not still-growing geniuses; they were elite ninjas of Kirigakure with rich experience.

But even such ninjas, when facing Konoha's young geniuses like Might Guy and Obito, seemed like genin fighting jonin.

This shows how terrifying the strength of Might Guy and Obito and the others truly was.

Calling them geniuses was no longer fitting; they were strong enough to stand firm in the ninja world.

"They are the even more dazzling Sannin," Yuhi Shinku sighed to himself.

The Sannin who now shake the ninja world were far inferior to Kakashi and the others when they were the same age.

In contrast to the Kirigakure ninjas, the Konoha ninjas were all laughter and joy.

With Obito and Might Guy and the others, even if Konoha's next generation couldn't compare to Muyue's generation, it wouldn't be too bad.

At this time, Terumi Mei stepped forward to challenge a Konoha jonin a bit older than her, and by flexibly using her two Kekkei Genkai, she defeated the Konoha jonin in a short time.

Terumi Mei's battle process was far less shocking than Might Guy's and the others', but for the current Kirigakure, it was a rare consolation.

Kirigakure also has geniuses, even if they are slightly inferior now.

Yuan Shi nodded approvingly at the sight.

That Terumi Mei could defeat a Konoha jonin in a short time surely meant she had not slacked in training, and she chose the timing so well—clearly she used her brain, not just brute force.

Afterwards, except for Kakashi accepting Hozuki Mangetsu's challenge, Obito and Might Guy did not make any further moves.

No one challenged them, and they did not actively seek to exchange with anyone.

The jonin exchange meeting also lasted three days.

After the jonin exchange meeting, the Konoha exchange team did not return to Konoha; there were still some small activities that would take a few days.

Obito and the others did not participate in those. After communicating with the captain and Kirigakure Village, Obito and the others toured Kirigakure Village and then went to many famous scenic spots in the Land of Water.

After all, for Obito, seeing the scenery of foreign lands was also a major reason for coming to the Land of Water.

Obito got his wish and saw some unique sights of the Land of Water, recording them all with his camera.

Obito was a bit reluctant to leave.

It was too difficult to tour an entire large country in just a few days; they didn't even finish visiting the famous major attractions.

Since neither Konoha nor Kirigakure hid information, various news about the exchange meeting was quickly gathered by the other great ninja villages.

The performance of Konoha's young ninjas at the exchange meeting, as well as the holding of the exchange meeting itself, received attention from all the great ninja villages.

Soon after, Iwagakure and Sunagakure also held ninja exchange meetings.

However, the exchange meeting was set neither in Iwagakure nor in Sunagakure, but in the Rikudo Castle of the Ninja Sect.

Sunagakure was led by Chiyo as the captain, while Iwagakure was led by Kitsuchi.
