Chapter 125 Procrastination
Of course, it's up to the others to arrive after Obito's earth-shattering explosion.
Meanwhile, in the spotlight, Qianyu's battle was far from over.
"Crackling and popping!"
Amidst the ruins of the explosion site, the sound of debris being trampled on suddenly rang out.
A figure wearing a vortex mask appeared halfway over the wall, looking ahead at the Ice Prison Hall, which emanated a chilling aura even amidst the scorching brick fragments. Obito paused slightly:
"So that's where you were hiding."
"Even in that situation, he reacted in time and used defensive ninjutsu again!"
"Should I say that he truly deserves to be called the first person in the ninja world to discover White Zetsu?"
Compared to before, Obito's attitude seems to have softened somewhat.
In his view, he had managed to regain some face after this explosion.
Now that they had regained their composure, it was time for everyone to start talking things over, so he brought up White Zetsu as a topic of conversation.
With Qianyu's intelligence and keen insight, she would surely realize immediately what his purpose was in coming here.
However, Obito was unaware that Chiba had been feigning ignorance all along.
And there's something else that Chiba absolutely cannot accept...
"why?"
Still in her white form, Qianyu lowered her head, her long, straight black hair, mimicking Zibai, covering her face like a female ghost, making it impossible to see her expression. A low, indistinct murmur came from her.
"What?" Obito didn't hear Chiba's question clearly for a moment, and subconsciously took two steps forward.
"I'll say it, why!" Qianyu suddenly raised her head, her obsidian-like eyes gleaming with a dangerous red light in the night!
The next second, Qianyu took a step forward as if by chance, and the red light in her eyes surged, like two red moons hanging high in the dark night sky!
At the same time, a furious roar filled with emotion burst forth: "Why, why did you blow up my house?!"
"Such a nice house, and I've only had it for a day! I haven't even slept on that luxurious, top-of-the-line rubber mattress that was exclusively supplied to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire!!!"
Hearing Chiba's roar of resentment soaring to the heavens, Obito was momentarily stunned.
He looked at Qianyu in disbelief: "Is this what you're interested in?"
"Although we don't know how to make mattresses from tree sap, these things are all within our reach, aren't they?"
Obito, who was born into the Uchiha clan and never lacked food, clothing, or shelter from childhood, was unable to empathize with Chiba.
He didn't know, and had no way of knowing, what a house meant to Qianyu.
Therefore, he couldn't understand why losing something material, especially something that didn't belong to her in the first place, was worth mentioning.
Therefore, Obito could only simply understand it as Chiba not having grown up yet. Although her strength had increased, she was still a teenage girl in many ways and valued material things very much.
This understanding immediately dispelled Obito's illusions about Chiba.
He then spoke dismissively, habitually belittling Qianyu like a superior HR manager, as a prelude to later recruitment: "It's just a mere building..."
"As expected, a brat is a brat; he only cares about useless things!"
Obito cut to the chase: "Alright, I don't want to discuss this trivial matter of houses with you!"
"You probably guessed it, right, Phoenix Temple Chiba? What's the purpose of my visit today...?"
Obito paused for a moment after saying the last word of his purpose, a hint of doubt in his voice.
Because in that instant, Qianyu pulled out a longsword from his wrist, wrapped in white light, and shattered the Ice Prison Hall that was defending him with a single strike. Then, the longsword sliced across his ethereal neck.
Qianyu's roar only arrived belatedly after the longsword had severed her neck.
"So you're the only one with such a unique and adorable personality who's blown up my house, huh?! Damn it!"
As Obito faced the rain of sword light, massive wind blades were unleashed from the sharp blade, bombarding him like missiles!
"Bang bang bang bang—"
The already broken ruins around Obito were further shattered by the raging wind blades, with large amounts of brick and stone fragments turning into dust.
Under Chiba's attack, Obito could no longer maintain the same low-energy state of intangibility that allowed him to attack wherever he wanted.
The fact that he could not condense the sturdy bricks and stones used as building materials for the Snow Clan elders, and that he could not achieve low-energy intangibility, all point to one fact.
That is—Chiba is serious!
She no longer pretended to be the ultimate plus version of Bai, and restricted the methods she used.
Aside from still looking like Zabuza's sidekick, Chiba has now completely returned to being Chiba.
"He goes berserk just from blowing up a house, is he serious?" Obito wondered.
Seeing Qianyu's persistent nagging, he frowned and tried to dissuade her, telling her his own story.
However, the situation turned out like this:
Obito: "Stop!"
Chiyu: "Steel-Cutting Flash!"
Obito (taking a deep breath): "I said, stop!"
Qianyu: "Whirlwind Slash!"
Obito (slightly annoyed): "I told you, your attacks are useless against me!"
Chiba: "Ice Release: Birds and Ice Pillars!"
Obito (slamming his fist on the table angrily): "I'm talking to you!"
Qianyu: "Water Release: Who's going to build the dam?!"
Obito: "You gurgle... gurgle gurgle!"
Obito, still in his ethereal state, could speak, but his voice, weakened by the water, became a muffled, indistinct sound.
This situation forced Obito to reverse Kamui and directly absorb the water around him.
Then, before Chiba's thrust could arrive, Obito pulled out a huge fan from the surrounding mist and, for the first time, took the initiative to block Chiba's sword.
"Clang!" The Uchiha fan clashed heavily with the finely crafted chakra sword made by the Root.
Under the immense force of the collision, the ground, which had been scorched by fire and submerged by wind and water, crumbled instantly beneath their feet like fragile foam.
But the environment was never Obito's focus. In the rapid exchange of blows, Obito's scarlet kaleidoscope met Chiba's dazzling red eyes.
After filtering out the overly glaring red light, Obito successfully captured the clarity in those eyes.
So Obito suddenly realized: "You're deliberately stalling me!"
He had previously thought that Chiyu was too enraged to communicate.
But now it seems that Qianyu may have been a little angry at first, but she quickly turned those emotions into a mask to conceal her purpose.
And Chiba was indeed dragging Tu along.
The reason is also very simple.
That means with such a commotion here, the people from Kirigakure are definitely rushing over. If they delay any longer, Obito's presence will be exposed to everyone.
Although it seemed to mean nothing to her.
But this was something Obito could not accept.
If the enemy can't accept it, then she should do it!
Yes, it's definitely not that Obito blew up the Great House that everyone was so obsessed with!
