"Naruto: Ice God"Chapter 175: The Uchiha Attack (Part 2)
"Although we're far from the village, this is classified, so even if labor pains begin, try not to scream too loudly."
This was Biwako's instruction to Kushina on the way.
But the result was—
"It hurts so much, dattebane!!!"
Even from outside the cave, Feng Bai and the others could clearly hear Kushina's cries.
Hearing the sound echo through the mountain forest, Feng Bai instinctively reached for his ninja blade's hilt.
"This is the first time I've heard Kushina-nee scream in pain so loudly."
Obito hunched his shoulders, somewhat curious about what was happening inside.
"Well, I've never seen anything like this either."
Glancing back toward the cave entrance, Feng Bai, crouched in the tree, had never witnessed such a scene before.
Inside the cave, Minato, responsible for maintaining the seal, also wore a worried expression: "Um, this is the first time I've seen Kushina scream in pain like this. Is she really okay?"
"She's fine. Your primary task is to watch the Nine-Tails' seal!"
Busy with her duties, Biwako signaled Minato not to panic.
At this moment, the sealing formula on Kushina's abdomen was constantly shifting.
Minato could clearly sense the Nine-Tails sealed within Kushina, desperately trying to break free from its prison.
"Naruto, hurry up and come out—forget about the Nine-Tails!"
As Kushina's agonized screams grew more intense, Minato felt his heart breaking. If possible, he truly wished he could bear this pain in her place.
"Who are you?!"
Outside the cave, an ANBU member suddenly leaped out, pointing his ninja blade at the approaching figure.
The newcomer didn't speak, simply walking straight forward.
"It's you..."
Lowering his ninja blade, the ANBU was about to say something when he suddenly stopped mid-sentence. His grip on the blade loosened powerlessly, and his entire body collapsed backward.
"Enemy attack!"
Witnessing everything from the tree, Feng Bai quickly jumped down, hurling a Flying Thunder God kunai toward the enemy's location.
"Oh, the Flying Thunder God Technique? I won't let you activate it so easily."
Seeing through the kunai's secret with his Sharingan, the intruder spoke calmly, and immediately Feng Bai's vision became inverted.
It was like playing a game when someone suddenly changed the controls.
The enemy who should have been standing on the ground now appeared to Feng Bai as floating in the sky, with his upper and lower body misaligned—looking exactly like a distorted figure.
"Genjutsu?!"
Feng Bai wasn't the only one affected—even Obito, who was lying in the tree and hadn't acted immediately, fell due to his inverted vision.
The other ANBU responsible for protecting the barrier were in even worse condition, all sprawled on the ground unable to move freely.
Yowan casually picked up the ninja blade dropped by the earlier ANBU and gently inserted it into the back of his neck.
With the sound of blade piercing flesh, this ANBU member was sent to meet the Sage of Six Paths.
"Damn it, release!"
Feng Bai formed hand seals according to Danzo's teachings, preparing to dispel the genjutsu affecting him, but it had no effect whatsoever.
Seeing the enemy gradually approaching, Feng Bai had no choice but to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting to where his thrown kunai had landed.
"This feeling—I see, so you're the one who ambushed Nagato and gouged out his eyes!"
The familiar sensation struck him, and Obito belatedly recognized the enemy's identity.
"Huh? Nagato's eyes were gouged out? Why didn't you ever tell me?!"
Feng Bai was hearing about this for the first time and urgently glared at Obito for answers, though unfortunately he hadn't escaped Yowan's dōjutsu range and couldn't tell where the real Obito actually was.
"So noisy."
Unable to stand Obito's chattering, Yowan walked in front of him and stabbed down with his blade.
Strange—why did it feel wrong?
The piercing blade met no resistance whatsoever, as if stabbing through air.
"Got you!"
Obito suddenly sprang up, relying on feel to stand and throw a punch.
Yowan didn't even bother dodging, standing quietly in place watching Obito perform.
Then, as expected, Obito punched toward his rear due to his distorted vision and fell flat on his face again.
But in that instant, Yowan noticed the opponent's eyes.
"A Mangekyō Sharingan? I see—a dōjutsu that can ignore enemy attacks."
He hadn't expected the former dead-last to awaken these eyes. War—what exactly does war bring to shinobi?
Not wanting to waste energy on Obito, Yowan decided to skip past him entirely.
Quickly eliminating the remaining ANBU one by one, Yowan was about to charge into Kushina's delivery chamber.
"Don't even think about it—Summoning Jutsu!"
Obito's mind raced, finally thinking of a way to break Yowan's dōjutsu.
Since his own vision was obstructed, he'd summon a creature to fight!
As the smoke cleared, a toad with armored forearms appeared before Obito.
"Iron Wall Toad, I'm counting on you!"
Seeing his summoned toad, Obito was extremely excited. Just as he pointed toward where he saw Yowan's position, he heard the sound of armor clanking as the summoned Iron Wall Toad fell onto its back with all four legs in the air.
"Idiot Obito, the toad got caught too!"
Feng Bai, steadying himself against a tree, didn't need to look to know what had happened. Fortunately, his hand seals weren't affected, so using ninjutsu posed no problem.
"Ice Release: Glacier..."
"Are you really going to use ninjutsu, Shimura Feng Bai? Aren't you afraid of accidentally injuring your companions?"
Yowan showed no intention of dodging, because where Feng Bai's gaze was directed wasn't his actual location at all.
Hearing the enemy's words, Feng Bai stopped his hand seals.
Obito's safety didn't require special concern—thanks to Kamui, Feng Bai could confidently use his most skilled large-scale ninjutsu.
The reason he stopped was because he'd thought of a better method.
"In that case, I'll take the Jinchūriki."
Thinking Feng Bai had completely given up, Yowan turned toward the cave.
"If that's the case—Sage Art!"
Clapping his hands together, who cares about anyone else.
Patterns spread across his face, forming strange designs.
"Sage Art: Ice Release: Grand Burial Formation of Dispersing Ice Clouds!"
"What?!"
Feeling his ankle grabbed, Yowan instinctively looked down.
A crystalline skeletal hand gripped his ankle tightly, and a skeleton clad in samurai armor was slowly crawling out from the ice layer.
"The Wet Bone Forest sage techniques' characteristic is granting life force. Although they're essentially mindless artificial constructs, they can hunt down enemies before them by instinct."
Feng Bai revealed a cunning smile, explaining to his opponent.
"Always resorting to petty tricks."
Seeing Feng Bai's smile, Yowan seemed to recall some unpleasant memories and clamped his legs together tightly.
"This level of attack can't do anything to me!"
"Is that so? But I can—Hatake Style: Lightning Strike!"
Kakashi, who had been lurking in the shadows, suddenly appeared behind Yowan. Taking advantage of the enemy being restrained by the skeleton, he stabbed straight through, directly piercing Yowan's chest.
"Impossible! Why weren't you affected by the dōjutsu?!"
Yowan endured the pain and turned his head with difficulty, meeting Kakashi's emotionless gaze.
