BXBX NOVEL Chapter 437: It really is over!
Chapter 437: It really is over!
Kakashi has already consumed a lot of his Chakra in the training a while ago, coupled with the heavy consumption now; Kakashi knows that he is really low on Chakra, ‘I must hold on until I kill him even if I over-consume my Chakra and die; if anything; I must at least take him down with me…’ thought Kakashi as he resolved himself to at least kill Tobi along with himself.
At this time, Tobi looked at the various Kunai with the Flying Raijin Seal scattered around the training field and marked their exact positions one by one with his Sharingan.
As a former subordinate of Yondaime Hokage, Tobi is also quite familiar with the Flying Raijin Jutsu of Yellow Flash. On the night of Kyuubi’s attack; Tobi even fought against Yondaime Hokage; although he was educated on the spot by the Sensei and was forced to withdraw; however, he had garnered experience in actual combat against someone more proficient in the use of Flying Raijin Jutsu then the current Kakashi.
Flying Raijin Jutsu; developed by Senju Tobirama; is different from Tobi’s Space-Time Dojutsu Kamui which uses his eyes as the center point for spatial travel. With Kamui, he can travel to almost anywhere within the Shinobi World as long as he knows where he wants to be.
Flying Raijin is different in this regard, it requires coordinated positioning for spatial travel. And the Flying Raijin Formula imprinted on these scattered Kunai as well as other positions are the coordinates. Therefore, as long as Tobi has mastered the exact positions of all the coordinates; Kakashi won’t be able to escape his eyes even if he managed to dodge the attacks of Kamui to a certain extent.
After taking note of all the positions of the Kunai scattered around the training field, Tobi said, “Who would have thought that the Copy-ninja Hatake Kakashi will even copy the Flying Raijin Jutsu? I certainly never expected you to become a variable. But I suppose I underestimated you; being a disciple of Yellow Flash it certainly is no surprise that you follow in his footsteps, but everything ends here; you too will die the same death he died.”
Kakashi’s face was bitter upon hearing Tobi’s words.
Since he has just started to learn Flying Raijin Jutsu not very long ago, so even though he has worked harder than ever, Kakashi knows that he is still a far cry from his sensei Minato. Flying Raijin is not a Jutsu that can be mastered so easily, and even with his talent; even if he has devoted all his time and energy to learning and mastering this Jutsu, Kakashi knows that he is still a beginner, coupled with his lack of Chakra at the moment.
‘If I were to run away, then there is no telling what he will do in the village… Nobody in the village can even come close to touching him; not to mention; that if Akatsuki Organization is planning to attack the village today, then him being present in the village will only add more chaos. I have no choice, I will give it one more try, if that doesn’t work then only last option.’ After reaching this conclusion Kakashi stood up and drew a Kunai in his hand, ready for Round 2.
At this moment Tobi was also prepared.
A gust of wind blew by swaying the petals of grass and circling the broken leaves; the moment the leaf touched the ground, both Tobi and Kakashi shot.
Whoosh Whoosh
While in mid-run, Kakashi thought, ‘He deactivates his intangibility at the moment of attacking, that will be my chance…’ and threw three Flying Raijin Kunai towards Tobi, then observed the track of these three Kunai and Tobi with his tree tomoe Sharingan, waiting for the perfect opportunity; waiting for the moment Tobi will manifest himself.
The three Kunai thrown by Kakashi phased right through Tobi.
The moment three Kunai phased through Tobi, a high-intensity lightning Chakra of ‘Chidori’ gathered in Kakashi’s right hand.
Looking at the set of tactics used by Kakashi, Tobi smirked, ‘As to be expected from a Sensei and Disciple pair, their method of trying to deal with me is completely the same.’
After having suffered a loss against the Yondaime Hokage, how can Tobi not see through Kakashi’s plan? But Tobi also believes that the current Kakashi is as he stated previously, ‘not fast or reactive enough’ to the sudden change in spatial shift, as such he is not worried and continued toward Kakashi, he drew his hand to touch Kakashi, just that touch alone would be the end of Kakashi.
At the very same moment, Kakashi locked the Kunai closest to Tobi’s back and activated the Flying Raijin Jutsu.
Flash…
He disappeared with a silver flash and appeared in mid-air above Tobi; caught the Kunai and waved his lightning-covered right hand towards Tobi’s back.
It’s just as Tobi expected; Kakashi’s timing wasn’t perfect, and Tobi was already a step out of the range of Kakashi, so the attack used by Kakashi hit no one and faded away.
Hearing the disappearing sound of Chidori, Tobi had a smile.
‘Flying Raijin: Second Step’ used by Yondaime Hokage is extremely difficult to counter because the speed is so fast that even he with his Sharingan is unable to catch, but Kakashi has not reached that stage yet, therefore, Tobi is confident in being able to avoid Kakashi’s attack even with his eyes closed.
Not to mention, Tobi didn’t really intend to materialize this time, as he wanted to use this opportunity to trap Kakashi.
Just as Kakashi realized that he failed the attack, trees emerged from Tobi’s back and entangled Kakashi in mid-air.
‘Crap, that was a trap all along!’ Kakashi only realized it now.
Tobi turned around and looked at bounded Kakashi, then said, “You realized it, but it’s a little too late…”
As Tobi said, it was already too late, the current state of Kakashi is haggard, that last Flying Raijin Jutsu consumed most of his Chakra, and now he barely has any left, not to mention these trees and Sharingan are draining his Chakra.
In such a state, even maintaining consciousness is difficult, not to mention; fighting back.
“It’s over now.” Said Tobi, then held Kakashi’s shoulder and activated his Dojutsu, ‘Kamui’ as a spiraling whirl appeared over Kakashi and Kakashi’s figure started to distort.
At this moment, Kakashi with his ragged breath sensed that familiar feeling of distortion and he knew that there is only one option left in his hands; ‘I can’t escape this time, I don’t have enough Chakra to use Flying Raijin anymore, and even if I use; it would be useless.’ Knowing that escape is no longer an option, hopeless Kakashi decided to use the only trump card he has left, although, this trump card of his will most definitely kill him too, so while trying to resist the effect of the spatial pull of Tobi, Kakashi said “Yes… you are absolutely correct… it’s really over.” As Kakashi said that, the three tomoe Sharingan in his eye morphed and changed into the Mangekyou Sharingan.
In the past few years, Kakashi has tried to open the Mangekyou Sharingan several times, but without exception, every time he opens his Mangekyou Sharingan he will be overwhelmed by the Chakra consumption and lose consciousness.
Although he is gradually adapting to the headache and chakra drainage caused by the Mangekyou Sharingan; it is still far from reaching the point where he can use it in combat.
So Kakashi knows that if he were to use the Mangekyou Sharingan in his current state, then he would more than likely die of Chakra drain.
But given that nothing else he has in his hands, Kakashi decided to bet on the Dojutsu Kamui with which he will be able to rip off the head of Tobi from his body before dying himself.
“You…!!!? The Mangekyou Sharingan?” Tobi was taken aback upon looking at the familiar pattern in Kakashi’s left eye.
Kakashi used the shock of Tobi to his advantage and instantly activated the Dojutsu, ‘Kamui!’
Instantly, another spiraling whirl appeared out of thin air, this one engulfed Tobi’s body and both of them disappeared from Konoha and the Shinobi World.
