This all happened in the flash of an eye.
In just a moment, Lin Nan had already guessed Obito's and Kai's intentions.
Can you resolve this dead end?
Lin Nan's expression was unruffled.
As he expected, the moment the Truth-Seeking Orb attacked Kai, Obito directly phased Kai through with Kamui.
Objects that Obito touched could also be phased through with the power of his Mangekyo Sharingan.
However, it's important to remember that after phasing, one becomes intangible. Both oneself and any attacks become non-physical, meaning they cannot affect others in any way.
Therefore, they would be unable to interrupt Lin Nan's casting with an attack.
And since Kai was the first to appear in Lin Nan's line of sight, Lin Nan's miniature Truth-Seeking Orb was targeting Kai, while Obito, who was behind him, was outside the Truth-Seeking Orb's coverage.
Lin Nan's primary target at this moment was Kai, and whatever Obito did was inconsequential.
However, since they intended to use phasing to evade the Truth-Seeking Orb's attack, Lin Nan had already prepared to deal with the Allied Shinobi Forces first before confronting these two.
If it were based on Kai's will, he would undoubtedly choose to sacrifice himself to save the Allied Shinobi Forces.
But unfortunately, his actions were primarily being manipulated by Obito's Kamui, so he had no choice in the matter.
However, the moment the Truth-Seeking Orb made contact with Kai, smoke suddenly billowed.
The Truth-Seeking Orb did not penetrate his form. Instead, Kai's body changed within the smoke, revealing a pale physique.
Obito?
Transformation Jutsu?
Then who was that Obito?
Strands of red light ignited, and Lin Nan's pupils contracted.
The Kai who initially appeared was Obito using the Transformation Jutsu. The Obito who subsequently appeared behind "Kai" was the real Kai.
"Tricks!"
Lin Nan's miniature Truth-Seeking Orb was more than enough to cover both of them for an attack, so it was futile no matter how Obito and Kai switched identities.
However, Obito had clearly not phased, and instead used his own body to withstand the Truth-Seeking Orb, which earned Lin Nan a measure of respect.
Suddenly, Obito's pale body began to swell, much like the bloated appearance he had when he was infused with Ten-Tails chakra before.
At that instant, Obito's body made contact with the Truth-Seeking Orb, and as it touched, his body became riddled with holes.
What was this?
Lin Nan frowned slightly but didn't pay it too much mind.
This entire sequence of events happened in a mere instant. Lin Nan's colossal Dust Release was still a little short of completion.
Previously, Onoki had managed to shorten the casting time for Dust Release by borrowing Tsunade's chakra.
But Lin Nan's Dust Release, capable of engulfing tens of thousands of people, could not be instantly cast solely through chakra.
"Boom!"
With a muffled thud, Lin Nan seemed to hear the sound of air flowing.
Immediately, a shockwave pierced through Obito's distended belly.
So that's how it is.
Lin Nan suddenly understood. Obito had swelled his body to bring the miniature Truth-Seeking Orb into contact with himself, and then phased himself and the Truth-Seeking Orb together, allowing Kai behind him to attack.
"Evening Elephant?"
Lin Nan didn't believe Evening Elephant could break through his enhanced Susanoo.
However, the next moment, Lin Nan watched as his Susanoo armor and bones twisted and vanished.
"Kamui? Kakashi still has chakra?"
Lin Nan's eyes widened. But at this moment, he was completely exposed to the air cannon fired by Evening Elephant.
Moreover, the air cannon was incredibly fast, leaving Lin Nan no time to react.
"Bang!"
Instantly, Lin Nan felt his body subjected to immense pressure, as if the gravity in that direction had suddenly increased dozens of times, sending Lin Nan reeling backward and completely disrupting the formation.
The colossal Dust Release was interrupted once again.
"This is not enough!"
Just as Lin Nan had this thought, his vision blurred, and all he saw was crimson.
He could even smell a pungent scent of blood.
"So fast!"
Lin Nan finally understood why Uchiha Madara in the original work didn't use Limbo for his summons.
Under the immense pressure of this thunderous air cannon, his body was already bearing extreme weight, and Kai's speed was incredibly fast.
It must be remembered that Lin Nan possessed a Sharingan at this moment.
The Sharingan's dynamic vision was superior to the Rinnegan's, but even so, it still couldn't keep up with Kai's current speed.
And no matter how slow the casting for the colossal Dust Release was, it only took half a second.
To accomplish so much in less than half a second, the speed and efficiency were astonishing to Lin Nan.
"Bang!"
Unable to react in time, Lin Nan felt as if he had been hit by a high-speed bullet train.
His entire body instantly went numb, he couldn't even feel pain, and in the next moment, he was involuntarily sent flying backward.
"Crack!"
The Susanoo armor shattered like glass, unable to withstand such extreme pressure.
Lin Nan's body, like a cannonball, plummeted towards the ground.
"Boom!"
Upon hitting the ground, Lin Nan lost control of his body and skidded for dozens of meters before finally coming to a stop with a skid stop.
Lin Nan suddenly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and could even feel the bones within him rapidly repairing with a cracking sound.
The resistance of Susanoo, coupled with his own Sage Body.
This unparalleled, supreme defense couldn't withstand a single punch from Kai?
Lin Nan was genuinely shocked.
He knew that in the original work, Uchiha Madara was defeated by Kai's kick, but Lin Nan had only watched from a god's perspective as an audience, captivated by the dazzling visual effects and the plot's dramatic twists.
Now, he was in the thick of it, and it was himself being beaten by Kai.
It truly was as the saying went, you only know pain when the fist hits you.
I am the Sage Body, and even if Kai activates the Eighth Gate's Death Gate, he is still flesh and blood.
Even without activating Night Guy, he was already so formidable, even surpassing all the attacks Lin Nan had endured up to this point.
So, what would happen when Kai unleashed "Night Guy"?
Lin Nan had never underestimated Kai, and had even intended to nip him in the bud. However, when he truly clashed with Kai, he couldn't help but be amazed.
Lin Nan looked at Kai in the distance.
At this moment, Lin Nan's Susanoo had dispersed. Kai's entire body was emitting bloody steam, his hair was red and wild, his skin was a bizarre black-red, and his eyes were completely pale.
Most importantly, his chakra was overflowing, making him appear like a ferocious beast from the ancient primordial times.
He truly lived up to the name "Red Beast."
"Is this burning youth?"
