Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Obito's Resolve
Obito's eyes narrowed slightly.
Sasuke's gaze carried a faint hint of disdain.
Even though Obito was controlling the Ten-Tails, Sasuke still seemed to look down on him.
This feeling made Obito feel as though he had returned to that time back when Rin had died, when he had been so powerless.
She had been right in front of him, yet he had been utterly unable to save her.
How could he let the same thing happen twice?
Red veins flickered in Obito's eyes.
"Since you're so eager to witness it, then let me show you... the power of the Ten-Tails!"
Boom!
In an instant, the Ten-Tails raised its hand and reached out to grab Sasuke.
A faint light flickered in Sasuke's eyes.
'Perfect, this will be a good test for the Spirit King's power!'
With a single thought from Sasuke, a massive stone ape suddenly erupted from the ground beneath him, its body flowing with crimson molten lava.
As the Ten-Tails' hand reached out, the stone ape also extended its own hand, gripping the Ten-Tails' wrist and holding it firmly in place.
Sasuke was quite satisfied with the Spirit King's power.
But!
In that moment, the sight of Sasuke effortlessly summoning or conjuring the stone ape stunned everyone.
Every shinobi on the battlefield who looked in this direction widened their eyes in shock, unable to look away.
In an instant just a single breath Sasuke had summoned the stone ape so easily.
How... how had he done it?
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The stone ape and the Ten-Tails struggled against each other, but what shocked Obito even more was that the stone ape's strength was not inferior to the Ten-Tails at all.
How was this possible? This was the Ten-Tails!
Obito stood firmly on the Ten-Tails' head, focusing even more intently on controlling it.
The split bodies on the ground also began to gather rapidly toward Sasuke.
Sasuke glanced at the approaching split bodies below.
He raised his hand and gave a light wave.
Instantly, countless wind blades rained down from the sky.
Boom, boom, boom!
After a series of explosions, the split bodies were all sliced in half.
In the blink of an eye, all the attacking split bodies were dealt with.
Sasuke looked up, narrowing his eyes as the Ten-Tails' tail swung toward him at high speed.
A faint smile flashed in Sasuke's eyes.
Bang, bang!
Without Sasuke even needing to control it, the stone ape swung its fists, knocking away all the attacking tails.
It even took the initiative to step forward, closing in on the Ten-Tails.
Like a master of taijutsu, it delivered a swift punch to the Ten-Tails' abdomen, followed by a flying knee strike to its head.
Obito's body swayed uncontrollably, but he did his best to stabilize himself on the Ten-Tails' head.
Amidst the continuous explosions, the Ten-Tails was actually being pinned to the ground and beaten by the stone ape.
Obito's expression grew increasingly grim.
Sasuke floated in mid-air.
"So weak..."
As he spoke, the split bodies behind him attempted to sneak attack Sasuke.
Without even turning his head, Sasuke reached back and clenched his fist. Instantly, sand surged from below, burying the split bodies alive.
The pressure suddenly intensified, crushing the split bodies into a pile of mush.
With such ease, Sasuke had used Magnet Release to deal with the split bodies.
This scene left the shinobi in the midst of battle utterly stunned.
The Ten-Tails' split bodies were no weaklings!
Yet Uchiha Sasuke had dealt with them so effortlessly.
"It seems the Ten-Tails isn't all that impressive!"
"Although it's strong, in your hands, its power is completely wasted."
Sasuke's calm voice echoed across the battlefield.
Obito's expression grew even uglier. He couldn't understand why this small stone ape, which seemed to be a creature formed from rock using Earth Release, possessed such combat power.
Its defense was ridiculously strong.
No matter how the Ten-Tails attacked, it couldn't even break through the stone ape's defense.
Even in terms of raw strength, the stone ape completely overpowered the Ten-Tails, delivering punch after punch.
Although it didn't seem to cause any real damage to the Ten-Tails, the Ten-Tails' chakra began to fluctuate.
Controlling the Ten-Tails became even more difficult for Obito.
This couldn't go on.
'Damn it... you're forcing my hand, Uchiha Sasuke...'
'I won't let you ruin my plans!'
In the next second, Sasuke, floating in the air, sensed a sharp killing intent.
A flash of lightning before anyone could react, the Third Raikage charged toward Sasuke, a single finger condensed with an astonishing amount of Lightning Release chakra.
He launched a direct assault on Sasuke.
'Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite!'
The lightning flashed, and in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of Sasuke.
Yet, at this moment.
Sasuke didn't dodge.
"Hell Stab, huh? The move rumored to be the strongest spear, is this it?"
"But now it seems... not so impressive after all."
Crackle!
Zap, zap, zap...
As Sasuke spoke, he raised his hand and effortlessly blocked the Third Raikage's attack. The Hell Stab was stopped.
Even the strongest One-Finger Nukite was halted by Sasuke's palm, which was now flowing with lightning.
Although it didn't seem as flashy as the Third Raikage's lightning, it completely immobilized the Raikage's attack.
The Third Raikage was stunned.
'He... blocked my Hell Stab?!'
The move once hailed as the strongest spear had been... so easily stopped?!
At this moment, not only was the Third Raikage's mind reeling, but the other shinobi were also completely dumbfounded.
Sasuke's displayed power seemed even more terrifying than before.
To deal with the Third Raikage's strongest attack so casually...
...How was this possible?
But in the next second, Sasuke casually snapped his fingers.
The surrounding lightning instantly surged toward the Third Raikage, breaking through his Lightning Release Armor.
Black lightning paralyzed the Third Raikage's body.
Without even glancing at him, Sasuke used the surrounding sand to completely envelop the Third Raikage.
A black rod pierced through the Third Raikage's body, and sealing marks appeared. The Third Raikage was instantly sealed by Sasuke.
Wrapped like a mummy, the Third Raikage fell from the sky.
Thud!
He landed on the ground, the sand and iron merging to form a solid iron coffin.
Now, no one would be able to open it or undo the seal on the Third Raikage.
Looking down at Obito, Sasuke sneered.
"You thought this would be enough to kill me?"
Obito gritted his teeth in frustration.
The mighty Third Raikage had been... so utterly powerless against Sasuke.
Just how terrifying had this guy's power become?
At this thought, Obito's expression darkened.
He let out a light sigh.
"It seems... I have no choice but to gamble!"
"Uchiha Sasuke, if you want the Tailed Beasts' chakra... you're out of time!"
In the next second, Obito suddenly lowered his head and let out a furious roar!
In that instant, the Ten-Tails beneath him, which had been suppressed by the stone ape, began to twist and distort, its body being rapidly absorbed into Obito's abdomen.
Sasuke frowned.
'He's absorbing... the Ten-Tails!'
