Naruto: Eating Kaido's Azure Dragon Devil Fruit-Chapter 343: White Zetsu and Obito

"Magnet Release?"

A flicker of surprise passed through Shisui’s eyes: "Are you from Sunagakure?"

Sora did not answer, taking advantage of this moment of speech to surge forward violently!

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

A massive wind blade tore through the air, slashing towards Shisui.

Shisui once again evaded it effortlessly using the Body Flicker Technique, while several shuriken had somehow already appeared in his hands.

"Sharingan: Shuriken Manipulation Technique!"

The shuriken collided mid-air, their trajectories becoming unpredictable, shooting towards Sora’s vital points from extremely tricky angles.

Fortunately, "Baihu," possessing Sora’s cells, had a powerful physique and was protected by Wind and Magnet Releases, so for the time being, he wasn’t immediately at risk of defeat.

He fought while retreating, seemingly suppressed by Shisui’s fierce offensive, continually backing deeper into the valley.

Although Shisui was anxious, the masked man before him was quite capable, and his identity was suspicious; Shisui had to subdue him as quickly as possible.

"Genjutsu: Phantom Fire!"

Shisui’s Sharingan spun, attempting to control Sora with genjutsu.

However, Sora had been prepared and chose not to passively resist with "Dragon’s Might."

After all, his opponent was Uchiha Shisui; it was better to be cautious.

The instant Sora sensed an abnormality in the visual contact, he immediately averted his gaze while simultaneously causing intense fluctuations in his internal chakra to disrupt his own perception.

"Hmm? Such strong genjutsu resistance?"

Shisui slightly frowned; the opponent’s tenacity exceeded his expectations.

The two fought fiercely, soon arriving at a relatively narrow area.

The ground here appeared ordinary, but beneath it, Sora had buried a large amount of special iron sand using Magnet Release.

"Now’s the time!"

Seizing the moment Shisui landed from a Body Flicker, Sora abruptly brought his hands together!

"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Binding!"

*Hum!*

The ground shook violently as pitch-black iron sand surged out like a tidal wave, instantly entangling Shisui’s legs!

Shisui’s expression changed; he hadn’t expected such a trap hidden underground.

He reacted extremely quickly, immediately attempting to use the Body Flicker Technique again to escape.

"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"

Sora couldn’t let him have his way; a powerful wind pressure he had prepared long ago squeezed in from all directions, and while it couldn’t truly injure Shisui, it successfully disrupted his chakra gathering and bodily balance!

It was this momentary delay; the pitch-black iron sand had rapidly spread, tightly entangling Shisui’s legs and crawling upward!

"Damn it!"

Shisui swung his short sword, trying to sever the iron sand, but this iron sand, enhanced by Sora’s Magnet Release, was exceptionally tough, and after being severed, it would quickly reconnect.

Shisui raised his head, his crimson three-tomoe Sharingan fixed intently on Sora.

Sora’s internal alarms blared; he could feel Shisui’s chakra beginning to circulate in a special way!

’Is he about to use the Mangekyo?’

Without hesitation, Sora immediately activated his follow-up measures!

"Explode!"

He muttered a low command.

The iron sand缠绕在 Shisui’s body suddenly glowed, then exploded violently! 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

*Boom!!*

A powerful impact and a large amount of smoke appeared, along with countless tiny senbon shooting out in all directions!

This was a little trick Sora had developed by combining Magnet Release and explosive tags; its power wasn’t great, specializing in disruption and surprise attacks.

The instant the explosion occurred, Shisui concentrated chakra on his body surface for defense while his Sharingan spun frantically, and his short sword danced in an impenetrable whirl.

*Clang! Clang! Clang!*

Most of the senbon were deflected, but a few still pierced his defense, grazing his arm and cheek.

Smoke filled the area, obstructing vision.

Shisui’s heart was anxious; the clan summoning him back must be urgent; he couldn’t delay here any longer!

He forcibly raised his chakra, ready to disregard consumption and use stronger power to break through the.

However.

As the smoke dispersed slightly, he discovered that the White Tiger masked man had already vanished.

Shisui frowned, sensing around.

He found the other party’s presence had completely disappeared.

"What was his purpose?"

Shisui was filled with doubt: "Just to ambush me? Or..."

He checked his own body; aside from some minor injuries, he was unharmed, and his chakra consumption wasn’t significant.

"Could it be to collect my blood?"

Looking at the wound on his arm, Shisui considered a certain possibility but then dismissed it as unlikely; what could such a small amount of blood accomplish?

He shook his head; now was not the time to dwell on it.

The clan’s orders were more important.

He quickly cleared the iron sand residue from his body, treated his wounds, and after confirming no tracking marks were left, he once again used the Body Flicker Technique, speeding towards Konoha.

...

Several miles away, Sora revealed himself.

He opened his palm; lying in it were several iron sand senbon stained with a few fragments of flesh.

Every attack in the previous battle, including the final explosion and senbon scatter, was all to conceal these few senbon whose real purpose was to collect cells!

"Success."

Sora breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the fight with Shisui was short, the pressure was considerable.

The opponent’s Body Flicker Technique and Sharingan were truly troublesome; if not for the pre-laid traps and exploiting Shisui’s anxiousness to return to Konoha, succeeding so easily relying solely on "Baihu’s" power would have been nearly impossible.

"Summoning Technique!"

Sora once again summoned Chinchilla.

"Meow! Boss Baihu, all done?" Chinchilla asked excitedly as soon as it appeared.

"Mhm, take this to Nonō; she’ll know what to do."

Sora placed the senbon containing Shisui’s cells, properly sealed, into a specially made small sealing scroll and handed it to Chinchilla.

Along with it, he handed over a banknote.

"Mission guaranteed, meow!"

Chinchilla stored both in the small pouch under its neck, patted it, and then vanished with a *poof*.

With the matter handled, Sora didn’t linger, turning and quickly heading in the direction of the Land of Waterfalls.

...

Outside Takigakure.

Sora appeared, cautiously sensing his surroundings.

He had come here, naturally, for the "appointment" with Uchiha Obito.

Not long after, an extremely faint chakra fluctuation, almost blending with the natural environment, caught his attention.

’Hmm? This feeling... White Zetsu?’

Sora’s mind stirred.

Sure enough, the next second, on the trunk of a large tree beside him, a bizarre face—half-black, half-white, as if wrapped in aloe leaves—slowly materialized.

"Found you, ’Baihu’..."

White Zetsu said in his characteristic hoarse tone.

Almost at the same time, the space beside Sora began to swirl and distort, forming a vortex.

Uchiha Obito, wearing an orange one-eyed mask and a black cloak with red clouds, slowly stepped out from the vortex, landing before Sora.

"It really is you."

Obito’s disguised low voice sounded: "You move fast. You just stirred up a little commotion over in the Land of Whirlpools and now you’re back at Takigakure."

’A little commotion?’

Sora knew Obito was referring to the recent incident on the small island in the Land of Whirlpools, but it seemed Obito didn’t know much.

This was normal, however; the island he had chosen was remote to begin with, and besides, even White Zetsu couldn’t monitor the entire ninja world—that was unrealistic.

Sora remained expressionless on the surface, responding hoarsely:

"What’s it to you?"

"Heh..."

Obito chuckled lightly: "For someone recommended by Sora, I have to personally test your mettle."

Before his words faded, Obito’s figure suddenly blurred; a black rod had somehow appeared in his hand, stabbing straight at Sora’s chest!
