Chapter 245: Chapter 244 : Sequence 5 Wraith!!
The high-intensity current gathered in the palm, combined with ultra-fast stabbing speed.
It incorporates both chakra nature transformation and shape transformation, similar to the Third Raikage's Hell Stab. Its power is enough to penetrate any defense!
"Raikiri—!"
With a roar from Kakashi, his right hand, crackling with lightning, stabbed decisively toward Obito's heart.
In his mind, images from the past flashed by—moments spent with comrades, the old Obito and the current Obito. The two faces gradually overlapped, cutting off the last bit of hesitation.
Your ambition ends here!
This time, he wouldn't hesitate. He was determined to completely eliminate Obito.
Obito's gaze was filled with intense fear as he looked at the figure charging toward him, the intent to kill unwavering in his former friend.
"Kakashi!"
"Obito!"
Two shouts of anger echoed through the forest.
In the next moment, the glowing Raikiri pierced through Obito's heart.
Sizzling, crackling sounds of electricity filled the air, creating a harsh buzzing noise.
Just as Shisui let out a relieved sigh, thinking the battle was over, he noticed Kakashi's face. Instead of the joy of success, it was filled with shock and disbelief.
Then he saw Obito, whose heart had been pierced by Raikiri, shift from a look of terror to one of mockery. He sneered and said, "So, Kakashi, how's it going? I must look like I acted well, right? For a moment there, did you really think you could kill me?"
What was happening in front of him made no sense to Kakashi.
His Raikiri had clearly pierced through Obito, but there was no sense of hitting a target. It felt as if it had passed directly through his body.
"That's the expression, Kakashi."
Obito, pierced by Raikiri, seemed to be a mirror reflection in reality, presenting as a fleeting, phantom-like figure.
This was the special ability of the Sequence 5 Wraith from the Chained Pathway.
It allowed the body to merge with the spirit, transforming into a true shadow, passing through obstacles or hiding in mirrors while directly attacking the opponent's soul.
"Kakashi, get out of there!"
At that moment, Shisui's voice snapped Kakashi out of his daze.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several shuriken flew through the air, aiming straight for their target.
However, just like before, the shuriken passed right through Obito's body as if it wasn't even there.
"Heh, useless."
Obito tilted his head slightly and glanced over at Shisui, letting out a cold laugh. "I'm not the useless person I used to be."
Then, without warning, he lunged forward, and his body seemed to merge directly into Kakashi's.
From Shisui's point of view, it looked as if their bodies had "glitched," overlapping in a creepy, unnatural way.
Obito's head was right next to Kakashi's, their faces almost touching, mere inches apart. Kakashi froze in horror, his face turning pale with fear.
"Heh, can you feel it, Kakashi?" Obito's body began to slowly force itself inside Kakashi's. "Hahaha, how does it feel to have a vengeful spirit possess you? Isn't it painful?"
"AAHHH!"
Kakashi shook violently, his veins bulging as blood vessels in his eyes swelled, his pupils fading to a dull white, and he let out low, agonized growls.
"Kakashi!"
Shisui's face mirrored the shock Kakashi was experiencing.
He desperately wanted to save Kakashi, but everything happening before him was beyond his comprehension. Even if he tried, he felt powerless.
Soon, Obito fully merged with Kakashi's body.
Inside Kakashi's eyes, his own reflection could be seen, trapped like a prisoner. He could only helplessly watch as his body, under Obito's control, pulled out a short blade and charged toward Shisui.
Shing —!
The blade slashed diagonally, narrowly missing Shisui's forehead, cutting through a few strands of his hair.
"Is he being controlled?" Seeing Kakashi attack him, Shisui's expression changed drastically, and he immediately realized the situation.
Under Obito's control, Kakashi was wildly swinging the short blade with no skill or technique.
Despite this, Shisui was still forced to retreat step by step, unable to face Kakashi head-on, fearing that he might accidentally hurt him.
"Running?!"
After chasing for a while, Obito became increasingly annoyed. He opened his mouth and let out a sharp, piercing whistle.
Wraith Shriek!
The ear-piercing sound was like a red-hot needle, stabbing directly into Shisui's nervous system.
His soul was violently disturbed, as if it were being pierced, causing intense pain. For a moment, he became disoriented, and his vision blurred. In that split second, he was struck with a blade across his chest.
Shhiiing!
The sharp knife sliced through, and blood spurted out.
Shisui grunted in pain, waking from the agony. Enduring the torture on his soul, he quickly created some distance.
He glanced at Kakashi, took a deep breath, and realized he couldn't save him. Resolutely, he abandoned the controlled Kakashi and dashed deeper into the forest to escape.
The first rule of the Anbu: If a comrade falls into a life-threatening situation, the mission comes first.
"Heh, this is what Konoha ninjas are like, abandoning their comrades to survive alone?"
Seeing Shisui trying to flee, Obito was reminded of some unpleasant memories. He sneered and clenched his fist tightly. "Stop right there—Spirit Entanglement!"
Suddenly, countless pale souls surged forward, shrieking with a high-pitched wail, and they wrapped around Shisui, who was attempting to escape.
Fire Style: Great Fireball!
Shisui expelled a fiery inferno, hoping to consume the approaching pale souls.
However, those souls had no physical form. They were unaffected by the flames, passing straight through the fireball and continuing their pursuit.
"What the hell are these things?!"
Shisui's mind was filled with fear, and a chill ran down his spine.
He had never encountered anything like this before. Neither genjutsu nor ninjutsu could touch them, leaving him completely helpless.
In his dazed state, Shisui was caught off guard and entangled from behind by the souls.
The moment the pale spirits wrapped around him, a chilling, bone-piercing cold surged into his body, blocking his chakra pathways.
Shisui's face stiffened, his body turning rigid as if he were a wooden post. He fell heavily from the air, crashing to the ground.
"I can't move."
Shisui stared with wide, terrified eyes, realizing he couldn't even move a single finger.
"I told you, you can't escape."
Kakashi, under the control of someone else, grinned cruelly. His eyes, bloodshot and with veins bulging, had pale pupils that were chilling to look at.
"Now it's your turn. Experience my pain properly!"
He sneered, wiped the blood off his blade, and with a quick slash, severed one of Shisui's arms.
"Aaahhh—!!!"
Shisui's face twisted in agony as he let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"Now you can't form any hand seals, can you?"
Obito half-closed his eyes, his smile sickly as if he were enjoying this way too much. "Let me think… should I cut off your other arm next, or gouge out your eyes?"
As he spoke, the blade hovered over Shisui's body, as though deciding where to strike.
"Got it."
Obito grinned widely. "Your eyes are beautiful. Let's start with them."
Fear and anger, two emotions that clashed in Shisui's mind, surged within him until they broke through the limits of his retinal nerves.
In the next moment, the blood-red eyes of Shisui spun rapidly, the tomoe shifting and forming a completely new pattern!
