Sato vs Obito

"Did you make a plan to kill me? I want to see you try Tobi."

Sato's pupils glowed with chakra; he was focused on the situation.

No matter whom Akatsuki has sent to kill him, he will not let them succeed.

"Don't be such a bore, Raikage. Allow me to introduce you to my partner."

Swirl

Tobi raised his hand, and the space twisted before his palm. This was a whirlpool-shaped portal he had just opened.

Sato knew this portal was Kamui's ability, and Tobi was actually Obito. Sato didn't expose Obito, though; Sato wanted to destroy Obito using this information later.

Step

A man dressed in Akatsuki robes stepped out of the portal. Sato's eyes scanned the man carefully.

"Hey, I am finally out of that pitch-black place! Intern, is the sacrifice ready?"

The man spoke to Obito in an arrogant voice; his careless attitude disrupted the mysterious atmosphere.

'Looks like this is Hidan?'

'He is Obito's secret weapon against me? Hahahaha.'

Sato almost laughed.

Hidan might have single-handedly killed Yugito and Matatabi in the original series; he was also immortal and had the most dangerous curse technique in this world, but Hidan was an idiot.

Sato didn't think dealing with Hidan was difficult.

Unaware of Sato's thoughts, Obito exaggeratedly spread his hands and introduced Hidan.

"This is Hidan, and he will be the one to take you down; he is not a normal ninja Raikage. Can you guess what his abilities are?"

"Anko, be careful. This guy is called Hidan. He is immortal and can curse you after drinking your blood."

Sato cut off Tobi's speech and casually exposed Hidan and his jutsu.

"What?!"

Obito was shocked, and Hidan was raising his eyebrows. His jutsu and information were exposed so easily.

Obito clenched his fist in anger. Hidan's ability to curse was deadly if the opponent didn't know about it.

But Sato knew about this secret power; bringing Hidan as his secret weapon was a waste of time.

"It doesn't matter how you know about Hidan! You will be captured by us regardless."

"No one can stop me from collecting all the tailed beasts."

Obito's eyes were bloodshot, he didn't bother maintaining his happy-go-lucky Tobi facade.

He rushed towards Sato directly.

"I will take care of Tobi. Anko, you fight against Hidan."

Sato gave Anko his orders and ran towards Obito. Obito was crazy, but he was also very powerful.

"Lightning elbow."

Sato's body shone with lightning, and he elbowed Obito on the head.

Swish

But Sato's elbow passed through Obito's body. He himself also passed through Obito due to his momentum.

"Come here."

Obito smirked and turned around. He touched Sato's back just as Sato passed through him.

"Kamui"

Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan turned, and the space twisted around Sato's muscular back.

Sato felt a tearing sensation behind him; his upper body was being twisted by Kamui's twisting space.

"Lightning flicker."

Sato ignored the pain on his shoulders. He stomped on the ground and disappeared from his position using super speed.

He reappeared a few feet away from Obito and checked his back.

'My back has turned red; Kamui has scratched my skin, but it's nothing serious. I escaped before it could hurt me.'

Sato stopped looking at his injuries and faced Obito again. Obito had a smug smile behind his mask.

"You are very fast Raikage. But I must have destroyed your shoulder muscles."

"Your punches will not have enough power behind them now."

The strength of a punch was dependent on interconnected muscles; Obito was confident he must have hurt Sato's muscles, and his punch will be weak now.

"You are right, Tobi. I am in so much danger. Whoever will save me?"

Sato rolled his eyes sarcastically. Obito thought he had injured Sato, but he didn't seem to realize something.

Obito didn't realize how amazing a Raikage's durability was. Obito didn't know that only Sato's skin was scratched by his attack.

Sato was facing towards Obito, Obito failed to see that Sato's muscles weren't destroyed at all.

Sizzle

Even his scratched skin was healing rapidly due to Sato's tailed-beast physique.

"Hey Tobi, I think I understand your power. It's a space ninjutsu."

"Let's have round two."

Sato chuckled and bent down; the lightning around his body slowly turned black.

Sato didn't give Obito time to think and rushed towards him. Obito was shocked that Sato could still throw a punch; he was taken by surprise and couldn't move out of the way.

Swirl

Thankfully for Obito, he didn't need to move from his position at all; he used Kamui to become intangible.

"Raikage, even if you know I have space-time ninjutsu, so what?"

"You cannot touch me, nor can you resist Kamui's ability to twist your body."

"I can see that you have forcefully resisted my previous attack, but you can't always succeed."

Obito spread his hands; he could make such carefree movements on the battlefield purely due to Kamui.

As long as he doesn't come out of his Kamui dimension, nobody can hurt him.

"We will see about that, lightning bruiser!"

Sato didn't mind Obito's actions and started punching him from every direction.

Swish

Swish

Unsurprisingly, all of his attacks passed through Obito's body.

"Well, well, well, it looks like you still can't hurt me, Raikage."

Obito joked, he felt Sato trying to punch him constantly was funny; even Hidan was laughing at Sato from the side.

Swish

Swish

Swish

But Sato didn't seem to hear them; he continuously kept attacking Obito at a rapid fire rate.

Obito frowned slightly; he didn't understand why Raikage was doing this. Attacking him was useless.

"Do you want to waste your chakra? I don't mind; we can capture you after you get tired."

Obito mocked Sato again, but once again he failed to stop Sato from rapidly punching through his body.

Throb

Obito's forehead throbbed; he felt irritated seeing Raikage attack his body again and again.

Obito tried to move out of the way, but Sato followed behind him with his super speed.

No matter what Obito did, he wasn't able to stop Sato from attacking him relentlessly.

"Have you lost your mind?"

Obito asked angrily. Sato finally smiled. He looked at Obito while punching him in the face.

"I can't touch you when you use your space time ninjutsu. But how long can you use it?"

"1 minute? 3 minutes? 5 minutes?"

Sato grinned, and Obito's face changed behind his mask.

"Tobi, your jutsu must have a time limit."

"The second you stop hiding behind your jutsu, my attacks will destroy your body."

Sato had a hunter-like look on his face; his tiger-styled teeth were showing, and it was scaring Obito.

Obito was really scared because Sato had guessed correctly.

He can maintain Kamui for 5 minutes only; if Sato keeps attacking him for that duration, Sato's attacks will eventually connect.

Looking at Sato's fists hitting him from every direction, Obito gulped. This mission wasn't as easy as Obito was hoping it would be.
