"Not good!"
"Quickly, dodge!"
The Jōnin were caught off guard by Obito's sudden attack. Cursing, they scrambled to avoid the assault.
Kakashi, disregarding his own safety, immediately rushed toward Nohara Rin.
But Obito was faster. Not only did he unleash a Wood Style attack, but he also temporarily suppressed Naruto's Seal of the Curse.
Obito darted forward to block Kakashi, turning his right hand into a wooden stick, which he shot toward Rin at incredible speed.
The long, snake-like wooden stick shot toward the stunned Rin with the force of lightning.
Seeing this, Naruto's eyes flashed with surprise. Instantly, he activated Kurama Mode, enveloping everyone present in its chakra.
However, something unexpected happened.
When the wooden thorns made contact with Kurama's chakra, they transformed into small saplings that bloomed. But Obito's wooden stick, upon touching the Nine-Tails' chakra, didn't just grow into thick branches—it doubled in strength and increased its attack power.
Before Naruto could act, Rin, who was protected by him, was instantly ensnared by the wooden tendrils. They pulled her to Obito's side, binding her tightly.
In an instant, the entire situation changed.
"Obito, put Rin down!"
Kakashi's Kamui activated as he glared at Obito, preparing for the battle.
"Rin, I really loved you!"
Obito's voice shook with desperation.
"But why did you turn your back on my love? You're no longer the Rin I once knew. I don't recognize you anymore. Goodbye!"
His words were filled with pain, and with a final, bitter declaration, he activated his Wood Style Cutting Technique.
Obito was aware of the power of Kakashi's Kamui and the strength of Naruto and the others. Yet, with a quick, resigned whisper in Rin's ear, he let his grief and anger surge. His emotions were tangled with determination and reluctance. He turned his gaze toward her, then attacked with his Wood Style.
In the next moment, Rin's blood stained the ground, and Obito's blood and tears flowed freely. His left eye began to change.
Instantly, three black tomoe formed a connected shape, and a Mangekyō Sharingan with a unique design emerged.
As soon as the Mangekyō Sharingan activated, Kakashi's Kamui kicked in. But instead of being pulled in, Obito vanished, flickering out of existence.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared outside the conference room as if teleported.
"Izanagi? What ability is this? Interesting!"
Naruto's heart skipped a beat. Without hesitation, he disappeared as well, following Obito.
Kakashi's eyes widened in horror as he rushed forward, cradling Rin's body. He held her tightly, his tears flowing freely.
In that moment, Kakashi completely forgot about the strange situation.
"Master…"
Zuozi quickly approached Rin's side, his face pale with anger and fear.
Rin had once been kind to Sako before Obito returned, and their bond had grown stronger over time.
But just as Kakashi and Zuozi mourned, Rin's body began to crack in Kakashi's arms. Slowly, she disintegrated into mud, scattering across the ground.
Both Kakashi and Sako were left dumbfounded, staring at the dirt that remained in place of Rin.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Obito had fled the meeting room and was already running full speed toward the village's outskirts.
Earlier, he had felt the tremor of his Mangekyō Sharingan awakening, and with it, his power.
Reluctantly, he had killed Rin to obtain this power—the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Obito had planned to use the Mangekyō Sharingan to fight to the death, but what he hadn't expected was that, due to his overwhelming hatred, he had unlocked a new ability.
This technique wasn't the short-term invincibility of Izanagi; it was something more—a single, unique pupil technique.
The moment he used it, Obito felt a renewed sense of life force, a desire to keep fighting.
"I want to live… I want to live and take revenge on this cruel Ninja World and Konoha."
"Kakashi, I will come for you again!"
Obito thought of the one who had disturbed Rin's peace. His resentment flared, and fury burned in his eyes.
"You won't stand a chance!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out in Obito's ear, followed by the impact of a Rasengan slamming into his back.
"Flying Thunder God Technique? How is that possible?!"
Obito cried out in pain, coughing up blood. His eyes widened in shock as he staggered.
In the next instant, blood and tears flowed from his left eye, and his body disappeared into nothingness. When he reappeared, he was more than ten meters away, completely unharmed.
"Izanagi? Obito, your way is truly wild!
You didn't even use your own Sharingan, and yet you awakened the Mangekyō."
Naruto, looking at Obito's defiance and hatred, felt a cold sense of foreboding rise within him.
"Your hatred is beyond anything I could have imagined."
Naruto stared at the Mangekyō Sharingan in Obito's left eye and tentatively spoke.
Before, he had speculated about the unexpected reaction Obito would have when he saw Rin.
Naruto had made a fake Rin using clay dolls and brought it to meet Obito.
To understand Obito's anger, Naruto even pretended that Rin was pregnant.
After all, Obito was the one who awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan for love and suppressed the Ten Tails with his willpower.
But Naruto never expected Obito would awaken a Mangekyō again.
This was truly a surprise!
It seemed that Mangekyō Sharingan was yet another item added to his collection.
[Mud Doll]: A person is copied based on their hair genes, and the copied person's personality is exactly the same as the original.
Value: 2000 Honkai points, duration: 10 days.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!!"
Obito's eye widened in shock.
"I didn't expect you to know this jutsu. Is it the mark left by the teacher last time? How careless!!"
Obito glared at Naruto, recalling the Flying Thunder God technique left by Namikaze Minato. His voice was filled with hatred.
Being marked with the Flying Thunder God formula meant that life and death were at the mercy of the opponent.
This outcome made Obito feel both unwilling and fearful.
"Naruto, he gave it to me! But tell me first, what's the situation, teacher's wife?"
As the two confronted each other, Sako moved like an afterimage, quickly arriving at Naruto's side. She glared at Obito coldly.
"Then what could happen? I made a substitute, just to tease him!"
Naruto shrugged, speaking indifferently. After all, Obito would never be able to escape Konoha.
"Substitute??"
When Obito heard Naruto's words, his pupils contracted, and his face twisted in disbelief.
He had been certain that Rin was real, but now he began to suspect something was off.
Then, in a flash of realization, his face darkened.
The Anbu girl he had seen a few days ago—if she was indeed Rin—her belly couldn't have been so large.
So now, there were two possibilities:
Rin was dead, and these people were lying to him.
Rin hadn't been pregnant by Kakashi and was still hiding in Anbu.
"I knew it was your fault!"
Sako's worry rose and fell within her, and she instantly backed away. She gave Naruto a coquettish look before turning to glare at Obito.
"Uchiha Obito...
The crime you committed is no longer just something you can plead guilty to.
In the name of the Fifth Hokage, I hereby sentence you to death today!
Tsukuyomi…"
Sako's Mangekyō Sharingan activated, her left eye glowing as she unleashed Tsukuyomi.
As an Uchiha, Sako was determined to reclaim Obito's Mangekyō. Tsukuyomi was her best non-lethal attack method.
"Kamui…"
As Sako activated Tsukuyomi, Kakashi arrived, his gaze fixed on Obito. He shouted angrily.
What Obito had done earlier had enraged Kakashi, and this time, he showed no mercy.
Faced with the dual assault of reality and illusion, Obito had no choice but to use his pupil technique once again to escape.
He reappeared more than ten meters away, quickly starting to seal.
With Hashirama's cells in his body, Obito wasn't at all hesitant to use Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Don't try to use ninjutsu! I've already seen through your pupil techniques!"
Zuozi shouted, and black flames spread around Obito, covering a radius of two kilometers.
The area within twenty meters of Obito became engulfed in black flames, the flames of Amaterasu.
"She's so fast, she can see the range limit of this pupil technique is forever!
Shit…"
Obito looked at the black flames of Amaterasu surrounding him, his expression filled with frustration.
The chakra within him erupted as he realized the flames were closing in.
After using this pupil technique, Obito could only control it at a distance of fifteen meters, but now the flames were extending beyond his reach.
The gap was evident…
