Chapter 437: You're Jealous of Me, Obito
"What's the point of this again and again, Obito?" Kakashi withdrew his hand from Yugito's chest.
The chirping of Chidori ceased at this moment.
"Do you want to keep this up?"
"You don't really want to kill me, do you?" Kakashi asked.
Tendo didn't reply, instead raising his hand for a Super Almighty Push.
But this time, Kakashi didn't hide like before. With just his single Mangekyō Sharingan, he activated Susanoo!
The blue Susanoo enveloped him, forming the tengu armor that blocked the impact of the Almighty Push.
Behind the Susanoo, trees within a few hundred meters were blown down by the gusts, showing the immense power.
Obito might have genuinely intended to kill, or he knew Kakashi could find a way to avoid this strike.
Realizing he was too close to Kakashi, Tendo began to retreat, but green vines grew from the ground, binding his legs tightly.
Kakashi reached out with Susanoo's large hand, grabbing Tendo in one swoop.
He lifted Tendo up, bringing him face-to-face, and asked again:
"Now? I have enough power to stand before you."
"Even as an enemy, you have to take me seriously, right?"
Tendo smirked, "It's meaningless."
Kakashi noticed Tendo's glance tilting to the right. Following the gaze, he saw black Tailed Beast Bombs—three of them!
Suddenly, he realized the same was happening on his left, and the Tailed Beast Bombs were aimed right at his Flying Thunder God mark!
Because Kakashi had been trying to save Obito, he hadn't done much battle preparation, only placing a Flying Thunder God mark on the kunai.
This mark was at the farthest distance from him on the battlefield. If he didn't want to leave, he would have to withstand at least two Tailed Beast Bombs!
A single-eyed Susanoo wouldn't hold up, unless he entered the Kamui dimension.
But entering Kamui would mean leaving the battlefield, something Kakashi didn't want.
In an instant, Kakashi formulated a plan.
The power he intended to keep hidden for the final battle erupted at this moment.
Following the instructions in the Scroll of Seals, Kakashi clapped his hands, activating the Wood Human Technique!
He instantly entered Sage Mode, and the Wood Human Technique evolved into Sage Art—Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!
Haneda had taught Susanoo-clad Buddha to Itachi, so naturally, he had taught Kakashi as well.
Though Kakashi was a bit lazy and was using it for the first time, his unmatched talent and intelligence allowed him to execute it with ease.
A thousand hands, a thousand fists, came crashing down on the ground.
Even though the Six Paths of Pain were half-tailed beast transformed, with speed, attack, and defense comparable to Susanoo, in the face of absolute power, the tailed beasts were mere pets of the strong!
Madara had never taken the tailed beasts seriously, viewing them as beasts.
Hashirama and Sasuke were kinder, but the former treated the tailed beasts as weapons, while the latter used them as batteries.
With Sage Body power and half of a Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi could easily dominate even six tailed beasts.
As for the Tailed Beast Bombs they carried? Just toys—easily swatted away.
Once Kakashi stopped holding back, the outcome was sealed.
The new Six Paths of Pain lay on the ground, their chakra completely drained, their bodies severely damaged.
Even the Akatsuki cloaks, known for their curse of death upon removal, had fallen off.
The battle seemed to end at this moment.
Kakashi leapt down from the Buddha, Tendo, still in his grip, followed.
He watched as Kakashi extracted all the black rods from the new Six Paths of Pain, causing Obito to lose control of his puppets.
Kakashi turned back to Tendo, asking:
"Will you admit now that I have the power to decide the outcome of this war?"
"Whether you still see me as a failure or now regard me as an enemy, I am someone you must take seriously."
Tendo said, "I am indeed surprised by you. Your Flying Thunder God comes from the teacher, but truly from your left eye."
"Your once-proud swordsmanship and Lightning Style have no place here now."
"Instead, you use the power Haneda gave you. He helped you implant the Sage Body, right?"
"He taught you Ryūchi Cave Sage Mode too, right?"
"Without me, without Haneda, what power of yours is worth noticing?"
For the first time, Kakashi smiled brightly:
"I have the power of my friends."
"Obito, you're just jealous of Haneda helping me, aren't you?"
"You used to grow under Haneda's guidance—your ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu were at least half taught by him, right?"
"You're jealous, Obito!"
Tendo struggled, trying to use Almighty Push, but Kakashi let him go, as if to say, "Even if I let you go, you can't beat me."
Tendo was furious at Kakashi's attitude, or perhaps it was the first time he saw Kakashi act so arrogantly before him!
It was always Uchiha Obito who acted this way!
Tendo's movements changed as a black sphere appeared in the sky.
It emitted a terrifying gravitational pull, drawing rain, wet soil, and fallen trees rapidly upward.
Kakashi was within its range, and the ground beneath him began to lift toward the black sphere.
This was Planetary Devastation!!!
Obito was serious this time!!!
Tendo coldly said, "Let's deal with you first. Your mouth is as annoying as ever."
Kakashi smiled in response, "But it's familiar, isn't it?"
"What do you mean?"
Kakashi continued talking to himself:
"Obito, didn't you say that without you, without Haneda's power, I'd have nothing?"
"Didn't you also say that my proud swordsmanship and Lightning Style are useless in this battle, right?"
Tendo said, "Oh? Are you planning to use Lightning Style to break Planetary Devastation? Don't be ridiculous! Lightning Style is meaningless against the Sage's Eye!!"
Obito didn't even mention swordsmanship; in the face of collapsing power, swordsmanship?
Honestly, it was a bit amusing.
Kakashi kept talking to himself:
"Planetary Devastation has a weakness. If you hit its core with extreme force, it will shatter."
"Moreover, Planetary Devastation is just a seal, used to seal someone… haha."
As he spoke, Kakashi smiled at Tendo.
Tendo felt exposed, angered, "You should worry about yourself first! I'll return that line to you!"
"No need." Kakashi pointed to the sky, where above the clouds, a huge vortex appeared.
The Land of Rain, known for its storms, had long met the conditions for this technique.
Boom!!!
Thunder echoed more frequently and fiercely.
