Chapter 130: Obito: Nani?! Three Pains Scrapped in an Instant?
Obito felt an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart.
But thinking of the Rinnegan in his left eye and the six brand-new "Generation Six" Pains made from Jinchuriki corpses around him...
They were only stronger than the previous generation.
He would absolutely not follow in Nagato's footsteps and lose to Sage Mode!
Swish!
Obito stood in the center, while the six Jinchuriki scattered around him in a circle.
They bombarded the surrounding ice mirrors with the powerful Ninjutsu they possessed in life.
But the ice mirrors replenished extremely quickly. Even if they were damaged or shattered, they were restored in an instant.
Through the shared vision of the Rinnegan, Obito and the six Jinchuriki Pains had absolutely no blind spots.
Want to launch a sneak attack with Ice Release?
Dream on!
Konan and Alex, who understood the Rinnegan deeply, naturally knew this very well.
Therefore, the first step was to strip away their shared vision!
It just so happened that a Sage Art they had recently mastered was a hard counter to special Dojutsu.
Hm?
Obito was the first to notice the anomaly.
In every ice mirror, a red dragon made of light floated out from Konan's chest.
It flew upward, reached the edge of the mirror, and continued to ascend. It seemed to fly out of the ice mirrors, into the outside world, and hovered right above their heads.
"What Sage Art is this now?"
Obito looked up, eyeing the red light dragon above with extreme wariness.
He controlled Yugito Nii to spit out a blue fireball, intending to probe it first.
Unfortunately, before the blue fireball could get close, the red light dragon suddenly detonated.
It released an incomparably blinding white light.
In an instant, the massive interior of the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals turned into a sea of light. Everywhere the eye could see was a vast expanse of whiteness.
The air in every inch of the space vibrated violently.
—Sage Art: White Rage Technique!
Caught off guard, Obito let out a miserable scream, "Ah!!"
He hurriedly lowered his head and covered his eyes with his hands.
His expression was one of agony. The buzzing sound that permeated everything around them nearly caused his eardrums to explode.
The six Jinchuriki beside him were better off.
They stood there blankly, their eyes still open. After all, they were corpses and felt no pain or irritation. However, their vision couldn't pierce through; everything around them was a wash of white.
Just then, a shift occurred in the white world.
Sharp ice spikes began to grow from every single ice mirror.
In an instant, the entire interior of the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals turned into an iron maiden filled with spikes.
The ice spikes growing from all the mirrors thrust rapidly toward the center.
They quickly occupied every inch of space.
Under the cover of the white light, the spikes stabbed toward every part of the six Jinchuriki's bodies.
Brains, chests, eyes.
Even as the spikes stabbed straight toward their eyes, they couldn't see or detect them, standing there like statues.
Obito, still under the influence of the White Rage Technique, didn't notice a thing.
It wasn't until he sensed that the Jinchuriki Pains surrounding him had taken damage that he realized something was wrong.
The change had happened too suddenly. From entering the world of white light to sensing the Jinchuriki Pains getting hurt, less than half a second had passed.
Obito was horrified. He immediately controlled the Jinchuriki Pains to launch indiscriminate attacks in all directions.
Fire, steam, bubbles, water cannons, scale powder—various powerful attacks poured out.
But it was all for naught.
When the attacks landed on the ice spikes, they merely melted them down slightly or caused minor surface cracks. They couldn't be completely destroyed.
This was because these weren't just ice spikes condensed from Senjutsu Chakra; they were created using a powerful Sage Art—Inorganic Reincarnation!
They were far sturdier and sharper.
It was known as a Super S-Rank physical attack.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
A series of sounds of sharp spikes piercing flesh rang out.
Naturally, due to the air vibrations blocking his senses and the light stripping his vision, Obito could neither hear nor see.
The dense cluster of ice spikes broke through the outer defensive circle of the Jinchuriki and stabbed fiercely toward his body.
Unfortunately, it was like stabbing into a bubble; they passed straight through.
The moment Obito sensed the Jinchuriki being attacked, he had preemptively activated his phasing.
The White Rage Technique ended, and the white world faded.
Finally, he could see.
Obito lowered his hands from his eyes and looked around.
His pupils instantly contracted violently.
Surrounding him—above, below, left, right, front, and back—were nothing but ice spikes.
They occupied every inch of space, radiating a bone-chilling cold.
He couldn't see the outside perimeter at all.
He couldn't see a single one of the Jinchuriki Pains to know how they were doing.
What enraged him even more was that the shared vision from the Rinnegan was pitch black.
The vision of every single Pain was dark.
He didn't need to think to know that their eyes must have been blinded by the ice spikes.
"Damn it!! Damn it!!"
Obito was furious.
He hadn't expected that in just the first exchange, his side would suffer a crushing defeat.
Two consecutive moves had left him and the Pains with absolutely no power to fight back.
This was a Sage Art. This was the terrifying power of Sage Mode!
The combination of Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals, White Rage Technique, and Inorganic Reincarnation produced an effect far greater than the sum of its parts.
The layered attack power made it impossible to run or hide.
If not for the special phasing ability of Kamui, Obito would have long since been turned into a hedgehog by the omnipresent ice spikes.
This three-jutsu combo was even more domineering and ferocious than what Naruto and Jiraiya had used.
"White Tiger! Do you think you've defeated me like this?" Obito's expression twisted as he roared in anger, "The battle isn't over yet! Don't get too arrogant!!"
Hah!!
A purple light burst from the Rinnegan in Obito's left eye.
Chakra surged violently—but not from him.
It came from the Jinchuriki Pains on the periphery, who he couldn't see but who were currently skewered like hedgehogs by countless ice spikes!
He instantly triggered all the Tailed Beast Chakra within the six Jinchuriki, forcing them into Version 2 transformations.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, amidst the layers of ice spikes, one, two, then three pillars of black-red light shot into the sky.
Dense Tailed Beast Chakra erupted.
But there were only three.
Obito grimly realized that the other three Jinchuriki Pains...
Perhaps because the black rod controllers inside their bodies were damaged, they couldn't fully activate the Tailed Beast Chakra to enter the Version 2 state.
No matter how he urged them, there was no reaction.
He knew that those three Jinchuriki Pains had been temporarily scrapped in the assault just now.
They needed repairs and new black rod controllers inserted.
Sizzle sizzle!
Suddenly, a massive amount of heat radiated from within the dense ice spikes.
They were being melted at high speed.
Four purplish-red tails shot out from a gap with a swish.
It was the Four-Tails Jinchuriki—Roshi!
Utilizing the terrifyingly high temperature of his Lava Release Chakra, he melted the surrounding ice spikes, transforming into a miniature Four-Tails and creating a cavity inside where he could move freely.
At the same time, with two bangs, the miniature Six-Tails and miniature Three-Tails broke through the ice spikes on either side and entered the cavity.
The miniature Six-Tails emitted a white mist of extremely corrosive acid from its entire body. It had used this super-strong corrosive liquid secreted from its skin to destroy the ice spikes pinning its body and escape.
As for the miniature Three-Tails, it was surrounded by a layer of water mirror fragments. It had used this to reduce the impact of the ice spikes before finally breaking them in its semi-transformed state to regain freedom.
As for the remaining Two-Tails, Five-Tails, and Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, they had no hope of escape. They remained buried deep within the layers of ice spikes.
The three escaped miniature Tailed Beasts didn't delay. Under Obito's control, they opened their mouths wide.
Condensing Tailed Beast Balls, they unleashed their strongest attacks to bombard the surrounding ice spikes.
Continuously, one after another.
Inside the dense mass of ice spikes, the sound of explosions rang out incessantly.
