Chapter 496: Towards Death
Seeing Onoki dead, Uchiha Obito felt a surge of terror.
Onoki had been one of the most influential figures in the ninja world for the past twenty years, yet even he had been killed.
A spatial vortex swirled in Uchiha Obito's right eye, and he vanished instantly.
When he reappeared, he was beside the Third Raikage.
"Raikage, we have to leave!" Obito urged. "Fox killed Onoki!"
The Third Raikage was locked in a standoff with Hiruzen Sarutobi and Uzumaki Kushina.
Uzumaki Kushina was manageable, merely boasting powerful regenerative abilities, but Hiruzen Sarutobi was incredibly difficult to deal with.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's proficiency in Lightning Release and Wind Release was top-tier in the ninja world. Not only was his taijutsu matched with the Adamantine Nyoi Staff formidable, but he could also use Wind Release to counter Lightning Release and employ his own Lightning Release to neutralize the Raikage's.
Hiruzen Sarutobi possessed a massive amount of chakra. If they created distance, he would unleash the Five Release Great Combo to cause a terrifying explosion.
