222. Need ninja education
Throughout all this, Loki just looked at Obito with a smirk on his face. His hair waved in the wind produced by the magic of Aoto, but somehow the winds that affected Obito didn't seem to be able to move Aoto at all.
Obito pulled out Gunbai (the weapon of Madara), which he had been carrying all this time. He infused chakra into it and went after Aoto, who was ready to attack him again. Aoto made a hand sign, and a wave of fire blew in all directions parallel to the ground. Obito, who had elemental chakra on the Gunbai, had to defend against the fire attack that Aoto just unleashed.
It was an elemental attack, so he had to be careful and vanish totally into the Kamui dimension. Seeing that Obito had escaped again, Aoto didn't wait for him to show up. He made more hand signs, and soon black clouds rolled in the sky.
The clouds came rolling in with roaring thunder, and within a minute, heavy rain started to pour. The rain was relentless, and Loki actually had to conjure an umbrella to safeguard himself. Aoto wasn't just done with the rain and cast a spell that made old age street lamps, which used to be lit with fire.
Multiple lamps, both made of steel and iron, grew in multiple places as the rains poured down heavily. Loki was curious about what Aoto wanted to do. After the lamps came out, sigils lit up on each of the lamps.
The sigils were purple in color, but they cast enough light around for everyone to see and use their eyes. The rain continued to pour as Aoto was now waiting for Obito to materialize.
And Obito didn't disappoint. He came out after 5 minutes, and he was welcomed with a total change of weather and a small change in the scenery.
"It must be a trap," Zetsu spoke for the first time from the other side of his body.
"I know," Obito replied. But he wasn't going to give up just because it could be a trap. He threw shurikens and kunai, multiple ones at that, on Aoto. Aoto used the old Tao mandala shields and made sure that he was protected from all sides and even from the top.
Obito, seeing the turtle shell, didn't get discouraged and sent bigger shurikens to break this yellow rounded dome that Aoto had built itself.
Out of fear, even though he was getting drenched in rain, he didn't go near those lamps that came out of nowhere. The shiny sigils on them gave him the creeps. Of course, Obito wasn't done with Aoto, and he was determined to go after the man who could control time.
He was way too dangerous.
Obito was trying his best to sneak attack Loki, who seemed to standing and watching circus while giving a commentary of the things happening around.
"God, this man is a genius. He could even infused fire on his weapon while swirling a path of fire and attack Aoto. My time here had opened my eyes and this man has continued to surprise me." Loki spoke out loud.
This went on for few minutes as Obito attacked from far while Aoto just holed in the middle surrounded from all side by lamp posts while the just glowed in the dark. After a minute or so of long range attack, one of the shields of Aoto had a crack and Obito noticed that.
He took hat advantage and after barrage of wind and fire attacks, the whole Tao mandalas finally broke. Obito was huffing a bit after he saw that the shield had finally gone down.
"You have fought well. For someone who had no ninja education, you surely have a variety of tricks up your sleeve." Obito said as the rain continued to pour and trying its best to subvert the words of Obito with it's sound.
Aoto didn't have a visible panic or fear as he saw his Tao Mandalas. He was actually more disappointed that his Tao mandalas couldn't hold for much longer time. Obito seeing that he won didn't go and enter the circle of the lamps and rather readied himself for one last attack at Aoto while keeping an eye on Loki.
Loki was his aim and not Aoto from the beginning. He went for a long range wind attack at Aoto but before Obito could charge up and attack Aoto from far, he clicked his fingers.
And the moment he did, all the sigils at the lamps. There was a small electric discharge and that was enough for Obito to know what the lamps were meant for, but it was already too late. The huge electric discharge travelled through the water and the small flood that had occurred around due to rain.
Before he could vanish to his kamui dimension, he felt as if he body went numb and all the cells of the body seemed to be vibrating. Since Zetsu was made of partial wood, he tried to stop the electrical current flow to the body of Obito but it was too late and the discharge was too much.
Obito was urging his kamui dimension to work but it was of no avail. He was already too late and when his kamui dimension had started to work, it was too late because Aoto had already arrived with a sword in his hand.
A magical sword that he had just summoned and cut at Obito and he did that specifically on the left side of his body. There wasn't the usual grind of a sharp side on the flesh but Aoto felt like he had struck a wood.
But it was a magical sword to begin with which he had just summoned and it still cut through frm the right shoulder to the abdomen. Obito screamed in pain as he jumped back. His arm which was covered on the side melted away and before it was too late he used his last bit of sanity to make him vanish himself into the kamui dimension.
