Chapter 190 - Chapter 187: 5 shadows? This lineup can make me enthusiastic.

With Sakiya's roar and Obito's jutsu—

The entire battlefield changed in an instant.

A massive surge of energy exploded from the girl, sweeping outward like an unstoppable force.

The very air itself distorted under the sheer power, creating visible ripples.

Small rocks floated into the air, ignoring gravity as if the natural laws no longer applied.

Even though Obito was in his intangible state, he could still feel it.

This was different.

An overwhelming pressure weighed down on him, a suffocating presence that made him feel—

If he looked at her for too long, his life might be forfeit.

But more than that—

It felt like the entire world was bowing to her.

A suffocating dominance—

Like standing before an absolute force of nature.

If the danger she posed before was a sharp blade—

Now it was a six-barreled Gatling gun, ready to shred him apart.

---

Feeling a sense of unease, Obito turned his gaze toward the standing coffins before him.

He forced himself to stay calm.

After all, this was Edo Tensei.

Even if her power was unreal, he had his own weapons.

He had only just activated the technique—

The coffins were merely being summoned at this point.

Yes, he was stalling for time.

But even so—

Her presence alone had already overwhelmed him.

Obito gritted his teeth.

"Who could possibly stay composed in front of this… monstrosity?"

Sakiya's red and blue eyes gleamed, radiating a presence beyond human comprehension.

She smirked, raising a hand toward him in an almost casual manner.

"Hmm~ This is the first time I'm fully unlocking my Death Eyes. I hope you can at least give me some entertainment."

Her voice was mocking, dripping with confidence.

"Don't worry—" she added, tilting her head playfully.

"I won't even use my full strength."

Obito felt his body rebel against him, the overwhelming aura making it difficult to move—

But he forced himself to act.

He scoffed, refusing to let her have the upper hand.

"Hmph! You think you don't have to use your full strength?"

He snapped his hands into a seal, activating his reanimation jutsu.

The coffin doors creaked open—

One by one, the dead returned.

---

The coffins fell forward, revealing their occupants:

Mu

Gengetsu Hōzuki

Ai (Third)

Rasa

Tobirama Senju

Obito glanced at Tobirama's lifeless black eyes, remembering the price he paid to obtain his body from Orochimaru.

This was his army.

The past warriors, resurrected for one purpose—

To crush Sakiya.

---

Sakiya barely acknowledged them.

She tilted her head slightly, her expression unreadable.

Then—

She sighed.

"Huh? That's it?"

Her voice dripped with disappointment.

She snapped her fingers.

"Hmph. So these are your trump cards?"

She scoffed.

"Just a bunch of dead puppets?"

She grinned, her mismatched eyes gleaming with power.

"This is boring."

She raised a hand, almost casually.

"I could end this fight with a single glance."

---

Obito felt a chill crawl down his spine.

This was wrong.

Everything about her was wrong.

And for the first time in the battle—

He wondered if even five warriors would be enough.

-----

Sakiya's tone slowed as she smirked.

"But that would be too boring."

"So, let me play with you for a while. After all, it's rare for me to unleash my Death Eyes."

"The five of you should make for decent entertainment."

Obito stared at her, calculating the possible outcomes in his mind.

He didn't need much.

Just one hit.

Just one drop of her blood—

That's all it would take.

If he could land a single wound, she would die.

"Just a little blood...!"

His eyes locked onto Sakiya as he formed hand seals, controlling the five reanimated warriors.

"Go!"

---

In the next instant, the three fastest among them—A, Tobirama, and Mu—sprang into action.

Tobirama vanished behind Sakiya in a flash, his teleportation jutsu marking her location.

At the same time, A charged head-on, his speed nearly breaking the sound barrier.

Sakiya, facing an attack from both sides, simply raised her hand—

And snapped her fingers.

A pulse of energy erupted from her in all directions.

Heat and pressure blasted outward, shaking the ground.

Tobirama was instantly caught in the explosion, half of his body incinerated before being thrown away like a ragdoll.

A managed to resist for a second longer—

But in the end, even he couldn't withstand the impact.

He was sent flying.

But in that moment—

Mu made his move.

His hands came together, forming a seal.

A transparent cube of energy materialized between them, vibrating with a high-pitched hum.

"Dust Release—Detachment of the Primitive World!"

The white cube expanded, then shot forward at blinding speed—

Straight toward Sakiya.

---

Sakiya's eyes lit up with interest.

"Dust Release?"

She smirked.

"That's a little impressive."

Her right eye flashed red.

"Then let me show you—"

"Ultimate Death Ray."

A crimson glow ignited in her gaze.

The instant Mu's attack reached her, a massive magic circle materialized in front of her—

And the battle truly began.

----

At that moment, the Dust Release attack was only inches away from Sakiya's eyes.

Obito's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Impossible! Just like that—!?"

Just as the Dust Release attack was about to make contact, an orange-red glow erupted from Sakiya's magic circle.

In an instant—

A beam of red light shot out, colliding head-on with the attack.

CRACK—!

A shattering sound echoed, like glass breaking—

The Dust Release technique was obliterated on impact.

The same beam of light, moving at an unfathomable speed, tore straight through Mu's body.

If even Dust Release couldn't block it, how could a mortal body?

In less than a second, Mu was impaled by the energy.

A fiery red glow ignited at the point of impact—

And within three seconds, his entire body disintegrated into nothing.

A moment later, in the far distance, a brilliant explosion lit up the horizon.

The shockwave rumbled through the ground, making it tremble violently beneath Obito's feet.

He stared in horror, sweat dripping inside his mask.

"Too fast!"

"It's so fast, I'm not even sure I could react in time!"

Even with Kamui, Obito knew there was no guarantee he could phase out fast enough.

At that speed—

Even a fraction of a second delay in his neural reflexes would be fatal.

For a shinobi of this level, a single microsecond could determine life or death—

And this was beyond what he had ever faced.

But there was no time for hesitation—

The battle continued.

From his marked position, Gengetsu Hozuki was already preparing his attack.

With a cocky smirk, he formed a finger-gun shape with his hand, pointing straight at Sakiya.

"Water Style—Hydrification Bullet!"

In an instant—

A barrage of high-speed, bullet-like water projectiles shot toward Sakiya.

Sakiya barely reacted to the incoming attack, her expression filled with boredom.

"This is pathetic. A technique like that?"

The energy surging from her body intensified, heating the air around her to a scorching degree.

Before the Water Bullet could even reach her, it evaporated completely, vanishing like a child's failed trick.

Without hesitation, Rasa followed up. After completing his hand seals, he thrust his arms forward.

His chakra condensed into a magnetic force, spreading into the ground through his jutsu.

A wave of gold dust surged forth like a flood.

It quickly solidified, forming three enormous golden spears in front of him.

He launched them instantly.

"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Spear!"

The massive, spear-like projectiles shot forward, cutting through the air toward Sakiya at incredible speed.

But she only sighed, growing even more disinterested.

Lifting a single finger, she tapped at the air.

For an instant—

The space itself rippled like disturbed water.

Invisible energy spread outward from her fingertip in undulating waves.

The moment the golden spears made contact, they froze midair—their forms distorting along with the ripples.

And then—

CRACK!

The spears shattered into nothing but gold dust.

The spatial ripples continued spreading—accelerating.

Both Gengetsu and Rasa sensed the overwhelming danger and tried to retreat.

They weren't fast enough.

The ripples consumed them.

For a brief moment, their bodies twisted unnaturally—then exploded into dust.

Just like that, the Five Kage were annihilated.

And Sakiya?

She hadn't moved an inch.

All it took was a wave of her hand.

Obito's expression darkened, though he remained calm.

Sakiya, now fully uninterested, tilted her head and stared at him.

"If this is all you've got, my Eye of Death is going to lose patience..."

Obito's gaze turned cold as he spoke in a low voice.

"You can't kill them completely. No matter how many times they fail—if they succeed even once, you will die."

"This is the power of Edo Tensei. They will not die as long as this jutsu remains active."

As if on cue, the dust and scattered remains of the Kage began to reform.

In mere moments, they stood whole again—silent, their lifeless eyes fixed on Sakiya.

Yes.

They could revive indefinitely.

It was absurd—

But this was the foundation of Obito's confidence.

As long as Sakiya didn't seal them, the Five Kage only needed one moment—

One strike. One drop of her blood.

"As long as we land even one hit—you will die."

Obito's sharingan glowed as he locked eyes with Sakiya.

But then—

She smiled.

A bewitching, otherworldly smile.

And with her mismatched, luminous eyes, she felt like something beyond this world.

Almost—divine.

For a brief second, Obito had the illusion that even his Sharingan wanted to kneel before her.

Sakiya's voice was cold and mocking.

"They're nothing but corpses. To my Eye of Death, they are even lower than garbage."

"I was only humoring you, playing along."

Her voice turned sharp.

"But you dared to take advantage of my kindness."

The atmosphere changed instantly.

A monstrous pressure radiated from her.

The Five Kage staggered under its weight—the ground beneath them fracturing.

Even Obito buckled under the force, forced into a defensive stance.

He barely managed to phase into his intangible state to resist.

"Not even the Five Kage can put pressure on this monster...?"

Watching the scene, Obito clenched his fists.
