Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

The display stand in front of her is highly unique, and Tsukihi can tell it’s the stand for the Seven Swords of the Mist (Some of the greatest ninja swords are known across the shinobi world) stand based on the number of grooves and their shapes.

However, only one of the six grooves now has a sword, which is Hiramekarei, while the other six remain empty.

‘Hiramekarei is here, Kubikiribocho is in the hands of Biwa Juzo, and if the intelligence is correct, Samehada is most likely in the hands of Momochi Zabuza, Kiba is in the hands of Kurosaki Raiga, who has most likely defected Kirigakure, but what about Shibuki, Nuibari, and Kabutowari?’ Tsukihi pondered, ‘ Are they truly missing, as reported, or are they being kept hidden by someone?’

The Seven Swords of Mist have been passed down through the generations in Kirigakure, but after the end of the last shinobi war, when the Seven Swordsmen of Kirigakure came face to face with Might Duy, who fought all seven of them at once using the Hachimon Tonko no Jin (Eight Inner Gates Formation), four of the seven swordsmen died, which is likely the cause of the three swords’ disappearance.

‘Well, I suppose I want to see what Hiramekarei can do… it can store chakra and output it in various shapes, among other things… so I think it’s a good sword if its awful shape is ignored,’ Tsukihi reasoned as she raised her hand to pick up Hiramekarei.

But just as she was about to grasp Hiramekarei’s hilt, her hair tingled and her heart shivered as she felt a sudden threat, ‘Huh?  Is it coming from this blade that my senses are screaming of danger? No, that’s not conceivable; this sword isn’t sentient like the Samehada, which can only mean…’ – Tsukihi had obviously felt a sudden sucking force coming from behind her by the time she understood it.

‘Is it Kamui?!’ Tsukihi noticed this right away and tried to flee, but she felt her body go numb, and her reflexes were also impacted, so she couldn’t go.
‘Damn!’ she exclaimed.

Kamui is a space-time Jutsu capable of distorting space; when someone is subjected to its effects, their body becomes numb owing to spatial distortions, resulting in a lethargic feeling that is impossible to resist; as a result, it is extremely difficult to react when Kamui begins to act on them.

This is also one of the reasons why fighting Kamui is so tough; only shinobi as quick and reflexive as Namikaze Minato, who is already accustomed to spatial distortions, can do so.
Because even if there is no numbness or pain, a sudden dread of the strangeness generates unintended panic and a delay in reaction time, rendering people unable to react.

Tsukihi is in a similar predicament right now.

Normal people would die in this situation, but Tsukihi understands Kamui’s mechanism, so she calmed down and activated her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan right away.

Although it is difficult to make hand and body movements due to the numbness created by the spatial distortion, it is a different story when Dojutsu is utilized, which does not require hand seals.

‘Susano’o!’

An arm erupted out of the Susano’o, and from it, a golden Chakra Blade extended outward, piercing through Obito, who was attempting to draw Tsukihi into the Kamui Space.

Whoosh…!

“What…?” – Obito was taken aback by the abrupt turn of events.

Obito felt his sneak attack was successful because the woman was unable to react and was about to be swallowed by the spatial whirl; nevertheless, he did not expect such a drastic change to occur, even if he is used to the hazards of the Shinobi world.
He’s also putting his hand on the woman’s back, therefore his hand isn’t in the Kamui dimension right now.

The strike was so quick that Obito hardly had time to react and could only adjust his weight a little to avoid having his head sliced off.

However, because his hand was entangled in Susanoo’s ribs, it was cleft away from his body and could not completely evade the golden chakra sword.

“Aaaarghhhh…!”

Obito gripped his shoulder and sprang backward the next instant, blood-splattered.

Plop…

His shoulder dripped whitey fluid on the ground.

Drip…

“Whew… that was risky… I thought I was going to die!” – Tsukihi exhaled deeply and slowly turned around, her gaze falling on the split arm that lay on the ground, before turning to face Obito, who stood not far away.

“Damn it, I missed it, huh?”  Tsukihi grumbled to herself as she channeled more energy into Susano’o.

Her Susanoo was likewise improving with each passing second, progressing from a simple rib cage Susano’o to a half-body Susano’o that firmly protected her.

“Susano’o?” Obito continued, a bewildered expression on his face, “Woman, are you a Kunoichi of the Uchiha Clan?”

Obito had no idea the girl attempting to take the Hiramekarei was a Kunoichi from the Uchiha Clan, let alone that she possessed Mangekyou Sharingan and could use Susano’o, ‘Wait! Susano’o?’ And the color in the intelligence is the same!’

“No, you’re Amatsukami’s Homusubi!” – Obito grumbled as he realized what had happened.

Because the Mangekyou Sharingan is not sold in a street shop and not available to just about anybody, and because no two users can have the same Chakra Color, it didn’t take Obito long to figure out that the woman in front of him is indeed Homusubi.

“I am surprised when the legendary Homusubi turned out to be a woman; I had not expected this.” – Obito grinned.

“What’s the big deal?” Tsukihi questioned  “Does it make a difference if I’m a man or a woman?” – Tsukihi snorted in annoyance, but the severity of her tone made it sound more like a provocation than an annoyance.

“Heh… I suppose you are accurate; it makes no difference whether you are a man or a woman; what matters is that you are a member of Amatsukami, and I am a member of Akatsuki; thus, because you have personally come here, I believe I will kill you and steal your eyes.” – Obito responded, amused, that he would not pass up such an occasion.

Obito doesn’t care about getting Homusubi’s eyes; what matters to him is getting intelligence on Amatsukami, and now that Homusubi has materialized in front of him, and she appears to be the only member of Amatsukami nearby, it’s only natural for him to take advantage of the circumstance.

Tsukihi stamped on Obito’s split arm and asked, arrogantly, “But the question is… can you accomplish it?”

Obito said, tilting his head to the side.
“I’ll let you know when I’m finished with you.” – And the next thing he knew, he was sprinting towards Tsukihi at full speed.

Tsukihi wouldn’t dare to be reckless in front of Obito; her eyes were constantly rotating, collecting Obito’s every action.
Tsukihi’s advantage is that she understands Kamui very well.
However, because she understands Kamui so well, she also recognizes that Kamui is a very deadly Dojutsu.

Obito’s speed was incredible, and he stood in front of Tsukihi in the blink of an eye.
However, when Obito noticed that Tsukihi’s stance remained the same, Obito realized he needed to employ more than simply Kamui.

Kunai!

Whiish Whiish Whiish Whiish Whiish Whiish

One after the other, Kunai emerged out of the hole in Obito’s swirl mask, each with an Exploding Tag attached to it.

Boom Boom, boom, boom, boom

When the dust settled after the Kunai collided with the Susano’o, it revealed an undamaged Susano’o with Obito still heading towards Tsukihi.

“Tch… Didn’t work at all, did it?” – Obito irritatedly clicked his tongue.

“Yup, that’s not going to work… and neither is this!” – Tsukihi said as she jumped skyward; the next moment, another Obito came from the ground underneath her; but, because Tsukihi was in mid-air, this second Obito was unable to exploit Susano’o’s half-body vulnerability.

“Now, give it a shot!” – She murmured, extending two Chakra swords from her Susano’o, one going towards the Obito who had appeared out of the earth, the other rushing towards the Obito who was standing on the ground.

Whiish… Whiish…

Poof…

The one on the opposite side exploded, while the one that appeared out of the ground turned intangible, allowing the Chakra blade to pass through him and jump backward once more.

“It’s pointless.” – Obito declared.

“We’ll have a look at it!” – Tsukihi wondered aloud, ‘How can I compel him into tangibility?’
