Chapter 241 Recall
Chapter 241 Recall
Boruto stood quietly, watching Obito Uchiha's figure gradually blur and eventually disappear completely before his eyes through the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, without making a move to stop him.
There is a complicated entanglement between Obito Uchiha and Kakashi-sensei, so it is not advisable for him to easily intervene.
Boruto pondered in his heart that he would wait until he returned to Konoha Village and confirmed with Kakashi before making a decision. Besides, he had enough means to confirm Obito's exact location, so he was not in a hurry to take action at this moment.
Boruto paused for a moment, then slowly looked around before his gaze finally settled on Deidara, whose self-destruction had been successfully prevented by Shinja's petrification ability.
At this moment, Deidara's body was encased in a thick layer of stone, rendering him unable to move and leaving him lying there quietly.
Boruto approached Deidara's statue, and after confirming that its condition was stable, he crouched down and steadily hoisted the statue onto his shoulder. Then, in a few flashes, he disappeared from the spot, heading towards Konoha Village.
......
In a secluded forest dozens of miles away from the place where Boruto was fighting, space suddenly began to distort violently, and after a moment, Obito Uchiha's figure slowly appeared from it.
Without pausing for a moment, Obito immediately released his senses to search the surroundings, making sure there were no signs of tracking him.
After some time, once he confirmed that Boruto had not pursued him, the huge weight that had been pressing on his heart finally lifted, and Obito's tense nerves relaxed slightly, but what followed was endless anger.
His heart was filled with resentment towards Boruto, and the scene of their duel kept replaying in his mind. He glared at Boruto with gritted teeth and clenched his fists.
Obito could no longer contain his anger. He swung his arm and slammed it hard against a nearby tree.
With a dull thud, his fist sank deep into the tree trunk. Instantly, cracks spread rapidly across the tree like a spider web, splinters flew everywhere, and leaves fell in droves.
Obito was filled with anger. He never imagined that he would fall into such a miserable state. Not only had he used all his trump cards, but he had also lost a three-tomoe Sharingan.
What humiliated him even more was that he had to rely on Kakashi's name to barely escape from Boruto's watchful eye.
Unable to suppress his negative emotions, Obito roared, "Damn it!...cough...cough...that guy..."
Suddenly, the image of the white monster appeared in Obito's mind. He clearly remembered that when he fought with it, he could clearly sense that the monster was not using its full strength. The two of them were probably at the level of the Sage of Six Paths!
The "divine art" he spoke of is very likely something that transcends "bloodline limit" and "bloodline elimination." This divine art may contain a more advanced and mysterious power system that not only encompasses all the basic attributes of chakra, but also incorporates more profound nature transformations on this basis.
Although only two tailed beasts remain to be gathered, the most crucial and powerful Nine-Tails is in Konoha Village, and Boruto and that mysterious monster are also in Konoha at the moment, which makes the situation extremely complicated.
In order to realize the Eye of the Moon Plan, Boruto must overcome these two huge obstacles. Since Boruto has the special ability to be immune to Sharingan genjutsu, Itachi Uchiha, who is in charge of capturing the Nine-Tails, is obviously not up to the task.
Their Sharingan abilities will be useless against Boruto, so they can only rely on Nagato to complete the crucial task of capturing the Nine-Tails.
......
"I never expected the former Asura of the Ninja World to be in such a sorry state. Or are you just an imposter trying to intimidate people with the name of Uchiha Madara?"
When he heard the words behind him, Obito's heart tightened. He realized that his injuries were so severe that he hadn't even noticed someone approaching him silently.
Without much thought, Obito swiftly turned and hurled a kunai in the direction of the voice, saying in a cold, chilling voice, "Were you following me, Uchiha... Itachi!"
Deep within the dark forest, a blurry black shadow appeared and disappeared. Then, the shadow suddenly transformed into countless crows and scattered in all directions.
A moment later, the crows reformed in front of Obito Uchiha, transforming into a figure dressed in black robes. This figure was Itachi Uchiha, who was holding the kunai that Obito had just thrown out.
Faced with Obito Uchiha's questioning, Itachi Uchiha maintained his usual composure. He slowly said, "I've come here to convey the leader's orders. He requires you to immediately return to the base and, using the Illusionary Dragon Nine Sealing Technique, extract the remaining Tailed Beasts that have already been captured as quickly as possible."
Deidara has successfully transported the three-tailed Isobu safely to Akatsuki's secret base using a giant bird meticulously crafted from explosive clay.
However, as time passed, Tobi and Deidara still hadn't appeared at the base, which made the members who stayed behind to prepare to use the sealing technique extremely impatient.
Pain attempted to contact Deidara using the Illusionary Body Technique, but his messages disappeared without a trace.
Since Tobi was not wearing the Akatsuki's ring and could not use the Illusionary Body Technique as a medium to make contact, Pain could only send Itachi Uchiha, who was still in the Land of Fire, to the scene of the incident to personally search for Tobi and Deidara's whereabouts.
After explaining his purpose, Itachi Uchiha began to carefully examine Obito Uchiha from head to toe.
His gaze fell upon Obito's tightly closed left eye beneath his half-broken mask, where two shocking bloodstains were visible, but there was no Sharingan chakra fluctuation. He immediately understood.
He then turned to Itachi Uchiha and said, "I didn't expect you to use our Uchiha clan's forbidden technique—Izanagi. And considering you're alone now, it means Deidara..."
In response to Itachi's question, Obito slowly replied, "Deidara has fallen into Konoha's hands, and his chances of survival are slim."
Itachi Uchiha nodded slowly, indicating that he understood what Obito was saying.
Then, Itachi took a few steps toward Obito, until he passed him, while Obito's eyes followed Itachi's every move closely.
Itachi Uchiha noticed that Obito had been tense ever since he appeared, as if he was ready to deal with any possible attack at any time. He said calmly, "You don't need to be so wary of me. At least for now, I won't do anything to you."
"On the contrary, you haven't even realized that this is just an avatar of mine since I appeared."
"When did you become so disoriented? In your current state, can you still claim to be Uchiha Madara?"
As soon as Itachi Uchiha finished speaking, his figure began to slowly turn black, his outline gradually blurred, and finally he transformed into a flock of black crows, letting out sharp cries, flapping his wings and flying towards the distant sky.
With Itachi Uchiha gone, only Obito Uchiha remained standing quietly in the forest.
His figure appeared particularly lonely in the dim forest, and apart from that, only the noisy cawing of crows could be heard from the sky.
A moment later, the entire forest seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure, falling into complete silence.
The air seemed to freeze; there wasn't even a breeze, and the leaves stopped swaying.
Obito Uchiha's face grew increasingly gloomy, his eyes shifting between light and shadow. He had been completely outmaneuvered by Itachi Uchiha, and this feeling of being fooled was like a thorn deeply embedded in his heart, fueling his rage.
His fists clenched involuntarily, his nails almost digging into his palms.
Obito Uchiha stood there for several minutes, and time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment.
Finally, he slowly raised his hand and gently removed the half-damaged vortex mask from his face.
He then suddenly crushed the mask in his hand, the fragments turning into dust in his palm and scattering all over the ground.
Then, Obito Uchiha slowly took out a brand new white mask from the Kamui dimension and put it on his face.
As the mask closed, Obito Uchiha's face was once again concealed, and his crimson Mangekyou Sharingan shone through the narrow eye holes of the mask, exuding a chilling aura.
