Naruto: Zanka No Tachi

Chapter 59: NZNT: Chapter 59

”Impossible!”

Obito exclaimed in disbelief, simultaneously grabbing his severed right arm with his left hand and quickly flashing away, creating some distance between himself and Izumi.

The wound where Obito’s arm had been severed at the shoulder was filled with more pure white muscle tissue than blood, making it look quite eerie.

Izumi’s initial target with her slash had been Obito’s head. However, Obito’s premonition of danger allowed him to escape, but he was still too slow to dodge completely and lost an arm to Izumi’s strike.

”This is your Mangekyō Sharingan ability, right? I didn’t feel any spatial fluctuations. Why could your sword hit me?”

Obito asked in a gloomy tone, looking at the girl in front of him with a cold expression.

His intangibility ability involved hiding his body within the Kamui dimension. To injure him, one had to extend their attack into the Kamui dimension and hit his real body.

But Izumi’s slash just now didn’t have any spatial fluctuations, and her katana didn’t cross space to hit his real body. This made Obito very confused.

In fact, the ability that Izumi awakened with her Mangekyō Sharingan was called ”Eye-Sighted Slash.” As the name suggests, when Izumi’s Mangekyō Sharingan sees a target being struck, the damage is directly reflected onto the real body!

This ability could counter enemy abilities like intangibility, elementalization, and genjutsu. These types of enemies were very troublesome for ordinary taijutsu-based ninjas or ninjas who relied on weapons to fight, but they were no longer a problem for Izumi.

However, Izumi wouldn’t explain her Mangekyō Sharingan ability to Obito. Instead, she once again took a stance for drawing her sword, her eyes filled with killing intent as she stared at Obito.

The swordsmanship technique Izumi used was a move adapted from Ryūjin Jakka’s ”Fūzan” by Yusuke. It replaced the reliance on Reiatsu with chakra and her own strength to power the swordsmanship technique.

Although the ”Fūzan” powered by chakra was far less powerful than the one powered by Reiatsu, it still surpassed most of the known swordsmanship techniques.

”Seems like you’re in trouble!”

At this time, Izumi heard a strange but lively voice.

The voice came from the mask of the mysterious enemy in front of her, but both the voice and tone were clearly different from the person who had spoken before.

The owner of this voice was Zetsu, White Zetsu. He was still parasitically attached to Obito’s body.

Although it was a parasitic relationship, Zetsu’s existence was completely harmless to Obito.

Not only did he complete the missing body tissue that Obito had lost after being severely injured, but he also greatly enhanced Obito’s vitality and physical abilities, granting Obito the Kekkei Genkai of Wood Release.

”This girl’s taijutsu is very powerful, and she has a special ability that allows her to ignore the Kamui dimension and injure me. She’s indeed difficult to deal with,” Obito said in a serious tone.

”Then let me take control of your body. If I help you deal with her, you’ll tell me what poop feels like!” Zetsu said.

At this time, Izumi had already activated ”Fūzan.” She instantly appeared beside Obito, and her katana slashed out another wave of cherry-pink blade light.

But Obito’s movement speed suddenly increased significantly. He dodged Izumi’s slash in time.

Seeing this, Izumi quickly closed in and used the Uchiha style swordsmanship, relentlessly pursuing Obito.

The cherry-pink blade light flickered continuously in the dim tunnel. Obito used various strange postures to dodge Izumi’s attacks, seemingly at ease.

At this time, a circle of white, tentacle-like substances extended from the collar of Obito’s black robe. These tentacles swirled around Obito’s head, completely covering his head and mask, forming a white, swirling head covering.

In this state, Obito’s body was completely under the control of Zetsu, White Zetsu. His overall abilities had greatly improved.

Zetsu reattached the right arm that Izumi had cut off to the shoulder socket. A mass of white tissue surged from the shoulder socket and connected with the severed arm. Zetsu’s right arm immediately returned to its original state.

”Little girl, I’m sorry, but my master told me to kill you directly. Don’t blame me.”

Zetsu easily dodged another slash from Izumi and said nonchalantly.

He had received instructions from Obito to directly kill Izumi. Obito was very wary of Izumi’s abilities. After all, Yusuke’s mother was still there. Even if Izumi died, he would still have a bargaining chip.

”Wood Release: Hell’s Dance!”

At this time, Zetsu seized an opportunity during Izumi’s attack, formed hand seals, and completed a Wood Release jutsu.

Several thick, thorny tree roots suddenly rose from the ground, constantly circling and approaching Izumi.

”Wood Release: Hell’s Dance” was originally a large-scale, destructive jutsu. But to keep a hostage, Zetsu controlled the scale of this jutsu, targeting only the area where Izumi was.

Facing the thorny tree roots that were constantly growing and approaching, Izumi continuously dodged with her agile movements. However, she didn’t notice that Zetsu’s body had also merged with the Wood Release tree roots.

Looking at Izumi, who was still waving her katana to block the tree roots while facing away from him, Zetsu’s body suddenly emerged from the tree roots behind Izumi. A sharp wooden spike in his palm suddenly stabbed towards Izumi’s back!

”No!”

Seeing the mysterious masked person suddenly launching a fatal attack from behind Izumi, Uchiha Izumi and the others, who couldn’t fight and could only watch, exclaimed.

Hearing everyone’s exclamations and seeing the fear in their eyes, Izumi quickly turned her head. She saw Zetsu, who was right in front of her, and the sharp wooden spike in his hand, which was almost touching her.

At this critical moment, a golden-red three-tomoe Sharingan pattern suddenly appeared in Izumi’s right eye. It was exactly the same as the Sharingan pattern in Yusuke’s eyes.

As the pattern appeared, a burst of golden-red flames erupted from Izumi’s right eye and surrounded her, protecting her.

The sudden flames were extremely hot. They instantly burned all the tree roots summoned by Zetsu’s Wood Release to ashes. They also directly burned off Zetsu’s right arm, which was holding the wooden spike, and quickly spread towards his body.

Fortunately, Zetsu reacted quickly and used a Wood Release Body Replacement Technique in time to escape, but the right side of his body had been burned to a large extent. The body tissue exposed through the torn clothes had turned completely black.

Zetsu, still shaken, suddenly felt a wave of killing intent coming from his soul. Under the influence of this killing intent, he found it difficult to even speak.

Looking ahead, Zetsu saw a pair of golden-red tomoe Sharingan staring coldly at him from within the flames in front of Izumi.

At this moment, Zetsu felt as if he had been targeted by death. He completely lost the desire to continue fighting, and the only emotion left was fear.

”Izumi, I’m sorry I’m late.”

As Yusuke’s voice rang out, a tall figure slowly walked out from the raging flames!
