Chapter 791 : Human Puppet Obito! (Patreon)

‘What place is this? Is this even the real world?’ Sasori looked around the Kamui dimension once he appeared there. The unknown dimension raised his curiosity. He had a strong feeling that the place was different from the ninja world and he couldn't return by himself.

Sensing a disturbance, he immediately turned his gaze to the crack in the space. He was left speechless and shocked as Obito's dead body fell into the dimension! Sasori froze as he continued looking at Obito. Unfortunately, Obito didn't move a single muscle. He was dead as a rock!

While Sasori had no reason to feel sad about Obito's death, he wondered in disbelief, ‘If he's dead, how do I get out of this place?’

Needless to say, if Obito died, Sasori would forever stay trapped in that dimension, unless he somehow mastered Space Time Ninjutsu and found a path to the ninja world.

In the Land of Rice, the seals on Fujin's eyelids disappeared and he opened his eyes. His gaze stayed on the location where Obito disappeared. There was no happiness on his face. Instead, Fujin sighed and thought, ‘His chakra changed drastically moments before he was hit. So, that must be how Izanagi feels…’

Fujin sighed once again as he analyzed, ‘I miscalculated. In addition to rapidly depleting my chakra reserves, I should have slowed down the speed at which my Wind Domain encircled this place and shown it to be weaker than it actually is. If I had done that, maybe he might not have retreated right away.

As long as we battled, I would have had some opportunities to send my Shadow Clones into his dimension and start marking the hell out of it. Once that is done, killing him would be possible. Unfortunately, I don't think he'll ever give me such an opportunity now unless I can force him into a battle somehow…’

Fujin thought a bit before giving up the idea. After all, there was another way to gain access to the Kamui dimension. And, it was far easier and without any risks.

The winds moved, finally covering the entire area in his Wind Domain. Unlike his usual Wind Domain, which covered a radius of 50 meters, this one covered a radius of 500 meters and consisted of nearly 60% of his chakra!

The reason why Fujin had gone to such an extent was to project weakness and tempt Obito into attacking Fujin when he was low on chakra. As for low chakra reserves, Fujin was no longer afraid. The artificial chakra lake in his Myriad Tetragram Seal already had enough chakra to fill his reserves twice over. So, he could just pretend to have low chakra and continue fighting while secretly having plenty of chakra. Unfortunately, his plans failed due to him going overboard with the Wind Domain.

Fujin maintained his domain while wondering, ‘Now then, will he reappear here or in the Kamui dimension? Also, how long does his Izanagi last? I'm pretty sure Danzo's lasted a minute, but Obito's probably lasts much longer considering his battle with Konan.

Oh well, though the chances of him reappearing here are low, it's not like I have anything else to do. After all, Zetsu has fled some time back. His speed underground is remarkable. I wonder if that technique can be copied or does it work only for Zetsus.’

Since he had nothing to do, Fujin's mind wandered, thinking of more ways to increase his strength. Meanwhile, Zetsu reappeared from the ground a long distance away. Even Fujin's Space Time Sensing Technique could no longer sense him.

White Zetsu muttered, “Not only did he kill Deidara, but he also killed Obito. If not for that technique, Obito would have forever been dead and our plans would have been interrupted… Konoha's Spectral Swordsman is scary!”

Black Zetsu agreed, “Indeed, he is extremely formidable. Not only are his techniques powerful, but he also has great control over them and continuously improves them. Every time we see him in action, he seems to have a new hidden card. That Vacuum Bullet was significantly faster than any of his other techniques, and he kept it hidden until the proper moment. Fortunately, he didn't know all of Obito's abilities.”

White Zetsu added, “Yes, the bigger threat is his devious and scheming mind. It's difficult to believe that a 16-year-old ninja is this crafty.”



In the Kamui dimension, Sasori thought, ‘It's quite incredible. I have never seen a body like this. His body has two types of cells. One seems normal, but the other is extremely energetic even though he's dead. What kind of cells are these? Where did he find them and how did he implant so many in his body without succumbing?’

Since he was trapped in an unknown space, Sasori decided to study Obito's body and make a human puppet out of him. He analyzed, ‘If my fears are true and the only way out of that space is Space Time Ninjutsu, then my only hope is his puppet. If his puppet can retain that ability, I can leave here any time. However, his Sharingan is destroyed. Even though his other eye also has a Sharingan, it feels normal instead of like Itachi's.’

Sasori sighed, “His body is weird… Hmm?”

To Sasori's surprise, the Sharingan in Obito's left eye suddenly disappeared and his eye went blank, almost as if it had been blinded! Moments later, Obito's body itself disappeared! Sasori exclaimed in shock, “What in the hell?”

His shock intensified infinitely as he sensed a presence. He turned his head to see Obito standing full of life and completely unharmed. He couldn't help but ask, “What are you?”



In the Land of Rice, Fujin waited patiently for half an hour. However, Obito never appeared. The only changes in the area covered by the Wind Domain were that Deidara's body was stored by Fujin and Sasori's puppets, which were trapped underground, were recovered by his Shadow Clones. Fujin added four more human puppets to his collection.

Fujin finally decided, ‘This is long enough, he won't reappear here. A shame, but there is still plenty of time left. I should have more opportunities. If not, I can always create a few. Anyway, time to wrap up this operation. Who'd have thought that this mission to hunt Orochimaru would end in Deidara's death? Poor fellow. If I get my hands on Edo Tensei, I'll give him a few opportunities to show his ultimate explosion to the world!’

A devious smile appeared on Fujin's face, one that sent chills down the spines of several powerful shinobi who were thousands of kilometers away! Even though they didn't know what it was, they had a bad feeling.

The Wind Domain stirred once again as it transformed into three Wind Clones. Fujin looked at one and said, “Zetsu said that Orochimaru was spotted running in the direction of the Land of Frost. Go in that direction and see if you can find him. If you do, attack him. No need to waste effort on trying to kill him pointlessly, just eliminate others with him.”

Fujin looked at the second Wind Clone and instructed, “You follow him. If you two find Orochimaru easily, then help him. Otherwise, head into the Land of Lightning and change the weather a bit. As for you, fly over us in case Akatsuki decides to sneak attack. Since there isn't supposed to be any more fighting, I'll let my chakra recover naturally.”

The three clones nodded and got to work. While Fujin didn't particularly have any reason to send a clone after Orochimaru or inflict more damage on Kumogakure, he had to do something about the chakra he poured in the Wind Domain. They were just unfortunate to be the nearest.

Fujin flickered a few times and reached the Konoha army. The Konoha ninjas were alarmed initially but relaxed on seeing, sensing and smelling that it was Fujin. Konomi asked, “What happened there? We couldn't observe after the first few minutes.”

Fujin replied, “They had some weird abilities. Anyway, they have retreated for now, but be on the lookout for any sneak attacks. It's time to wrap up the operation here and return to our country. We'll meet up with the other two divisions.”

Konomi nodded without asking any more questions. Even though Fujin didn't give her a clear answer, it wasn't her place to insist on it since she wasn't the commander of the army. She reorganized the ranks and began the retreat.

As the army reached the borders of the Land of Fire, Konomi once again approached Fujin, this time with a worried face. She softly asked, “What about them? Wouldn't it create an issue for the village?”
Fujin raised an eyebrow and asked “Them?”
