Naruto: The Primal Hyuga Pierces the Shinobi World

"!!"

Obito, who had discerned the direction of Shinichi Hyuga's attack using his Sharingan, secretly rejoiced.

"Has this kid suddenly lost his mind?"

"I'm holding a weapon. Are you going to trade injury for a life?"

Even though he knew that Shinichi Hyuga was a member of the Hyuga clan, ordinary Gentle Fist was completely ineffective against him.

Moreover, half of his body had already been replaced by White Zetsu cells, and the direction of Hyuga Shinichi's Gentle Fist attack happened to be that part of the White Zetsu. This discovery made Obito secretly relieved.

Well... he's just a kid with a bit of talent. The opponent made a major tactical mistake; if he takes the hit head-on with a gentle punch, he'll be the one to win in the end!

Without any restraint, Obito moved even faster.

As Obito's outstretched hand was about to touch Shinichi Hyuga's shoulder, a look of intense excitement appeared on his face.

Just as Obito's short scythe touched Shinichi Hyuga's skin, Obito's other hand also pressed down on Shinichi Hyuga's shoulder.

He made two preparations: he did not give up the attack with the short scythe, and at the same time, Obito was also prepared to activate Kamui.

As the short scythe pierced Shinichi's skin, his eyes also released a spatial vortex, seemingly intending to absorb Shinichi Hyuga into the Kamui dimension.

However, just when Obito thought he had succeeded, a low shout suddenly entered his ears.

"Graceful Steps and Double Lion Fists!"

Shinichi Hyuga transformed his fingers into a fist, and his punching speed suddenly accelerated at the last moment, even faster than Obito Uchiha's absorption speed of Kamui.

boom! ! !

A heavy punch slammed into half of Uchiha Obito's body. Unlike the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan that Obito had imagined, the moment Hyuga Shinichi's fist touched Obito's body, half of his body exploded with a "boom".

That's not the kind of power that Gentle Fist can produce. Even when Minato Namikaze's Rasengan hit him, it didn't have such terrifying power.

In an instant, the Kamui vortex abruptly stopped, and Obito Uchiha, who had been struck hard, was sent flying by the True Strike. At the same time, half of his White Zetsu body turned into countless pieces of flesh and shattered.

Blood spilled from Obito Uchiha's mouth as his body slammed heavily onto the sea, and Shinichi Hyuga relentlessly pursued him.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

At this moment, Shinichi Hyuga showed no mercy whatsoever. With Obito severely injured, he wanted to seize the opportunity to eliminate this troublesome opponent once and for all.

Although Obito Uchiha's half of his body was made from White Zetsu's cells, it doesn't mean he could easily lose that half of his body.

The reason he has been able to live to this day is because Madara Uchiha used White Zetsu cells to create a body that simulated Obito's own organs, internal organs, and chakra.

Losing half of his body is like losing his entire body; it's an extremely fatal injury.

This is different from when he was hit by Minato Namikaze's Rasengan back then. Minato only broke one of his arms. Although he was seriously injured, his life was not in danger.

However, this injury was different. Shinichi Hyuga's solid punch not only rendered him unable to move or fight, but also caused his life force to drain away rapidly.

However, Shinichi Hyuga relentlessly pursued him. As Obito fell into the sea, Shinichi leaped up and swung his palm directly in the direction Obito had fallen. A pressure from the air was transformed into a palm strike, which slammed into the sea.

At this time, Shinichi had already advanced from the fifth gate state to the sixth gate state.

The Bagua Empty Palm strike performed in this state can even rival the power of Kaguya's "Eighty Gods Empty Strike" in a single strike.

This power was enough to take Obito's life in this state.

"This bastard!"

Ordinary people wouldn't even notice Shinichi Hyuga's empty palm strike, but Obito was, after all, a member of the Uchiha clan. His Sharingan could clearly see the terrifying chakra released by Shinichi Hyuga rushing towards him.

The shockwave from the seawater when he fell into the ocean, coupled with the horrific injuries to his body, caused his life force to drain away rapidly. If he were to be struck by Shinichi Hyuga's empty palm again, he would have no chance of ever coming out of the sea again!

With a low curse, Obito Uchiha suddenly reached out and pinched a corner of the mask.

"Click——"

Prying open a corner of the mask, Obito Uchiha's other eye was revealed, the Sharingan's three tomoe swirling around, instantly turning completely white.

Immediately afterwards, Shinichi Hyuga's palm strike came crashing down, directly hitting Obito's body and shoving him into the deep sea.

"Bang!!!"

On the sea, as Shinichi Hyuga's empty palm struck, waves several meters high were splashed up.

The splashing waves fell back onto the sea, creating ripples on the once calm surface.

As Shinichi Hyuga's figure fell back into the sea, the spot where Obito Uchiha had fallen into the sea gradually returned to calm.

"solved!"

Jiraiya witnessed the entire battle between Shinichi Hyuga and the masked man, watching as half of the man's body was blasted apart by Shinichi Hyuga's punch, and then he was chased by Shinichi Hyuga. Even Jiraiya did not think that the man had any chance of survival.

On the contrary, Shinichi Hyuga did not show any joy on his face when he heard Jiraiya's words. Instead, he looked at the gradually calming sea and became thoughtful.

"Perhaps...not really."

Jiraiya didn't know exactly how many trump cards Obito Uchiha had up his sleeve, but Shinichi Hyuga knew more or less about them.

Konan's hundreds of millions of explosive tags failed to kill Obito, and Itachi's Amaterasu also failed to kill him. In the end, it was Kaguya Otsutsuki's All-Killing Ash Bones that finally killed Obito.

Would someone like that die so easily?

More importantly, before the empty palm landed, Shinichi Hyuga clearly sensed a strange chakra.

Moreover, Shinichi Hyuga couldn't find Obito's body using his Byakugan at this time!

"Still not resolved?"

"How can this be?"

"How could he possibly survive such injuries? Your attack was incredibly powerful; in his condition, he couldn't have dodged it at all. He should have been dead for sure!"

Seeing Shinichi Hyuga's solemn expression, Jiraiya knew that the other man was not joking. However, with his experience, he really didn't know how the other man could possibly survive.

Therefore, it's not surprising that Jiraiya didn't quite understand Shinichi's words.

The Byakugan searched the sea for Obito Uchiha's body, but after a long search, it found no trace of him. Shinichi Hyuga knew that his attack was terrifying, but not terrifying enough to "evaporate" Obito's body.

The fact that they haven't been able to find it after all this time can only mean one thing: Obito Uchiha is not dead.

As for the possibility that the opponent's corpse was knocked out of sight by one's own attack, that's unlikely. The resistance in the sea is very strong, and the force increases the further down you go. It's impossible for the opponent's corpse to be knocked out of sight.

The only result was... Obito Uchiha ran away on his own.

As for how to escape from him?!

The answer to this question is actually quite easy to find.

"Could it be Izanagi...?"

Shinichi Hyuga sighed inwardly, clearly already having an answer.

Although the Uchiha clan is still living well in the village, there have been sacrifices among the Uchiha clan members during the wars of recent years.

Given Obito Uchiha's abilities, acquiring a few Sharingan eyes for using Izanagi would not have been difficult at all.

Now that Obito Uchiha has escaped, it will be even more difficult to find him again in a short period of time. Moreover, in the next battle, he will definitely not be as frivolous as he was today, foolishly rushing up to fight him in close combat.

The opponent will have a basic understanding of their own strength, making it extremely difficult to launch a surprise attack based on information asymmetry.

With a sigh, Shinichi Hyuga felt somewhat regretful.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Time is on his side. Obito's side has no helpers; every helper who dies is one less available, while his situation is completely different. As time goes on, Kakashi, Shisui, Itachi, Naruto, and others will all grow stronger.

Needless to say, even if only Kakashi grew up, it would be enough to help Shinichi fight against Obito Uchiha.

Obito's situation will only become more and more difficult.

Moreover... this operation is not completely over yet.

They were also able to sever one of Obito's left and right arms.

"Lord Jiraiya, bring out the corpse of the enemy you defeated."

"I briefly investigated the corpse when you entered Sage Mode and found some interesting things."

Shinichi Hyuga ignored Obito's escape; all he wanted to do now was securely pocket the spoils of war.

The Six Paths of Pain have all been dealt with; there's no reason to let Nagato continue hiding behind the scenes. It's time to bring him out.

"Corpse?"

"Oh, you mean that? What did you find?"

As he spoke, Jiraiya used a summoning technique to summon a small toad. The toad opened its mouth, and the corpse of the Animal Path was spat out from its mouth.

Jiraiya picked up the corpse and asked with some confusion.

Shinichi Hyuga walked up to Jiraiya, pulled a black rod from the corpse, and then injected chakra into it. At the same time, Shinichi closed his eyes, sensing Nagato's location, and explained to Jiraiya.

"This black rod can conduct chakra."

“When I was fighting these people before, I was very confused. My Byakugan can see through their bodies, but what’s strange is that their blood is stagnant and doesn’t circulate.”

"Now I understand, these people were dead from the very beginning."

"It is a corpse, and at the same time a puppet."

"These black rods are the signal transmitters that control these puppets."

As he spoke, Shinichi Hyuga seemed to sense Nagato's location, casually put away the black rod, and looked towards the direction of Amegakure.
