065 Uchiha Revenge, Lightning Flash

Boom!!!

The shockwave of Super Shinra Tensei repelled the force of the four Tailed Beast Bombs.

The barrier collapsed under the pressure, and the massive explosion that pierced sky and earth was flattened by the repulsive force...

When the dust settled, the land had turned into a vast basin.

At the edge, flying in mid-air, Konan looked serious:

"Naruto used that technique..."

Tobi muttered, "Yeah… things are about to get even tougher."

Clatter!

Naruto fell from high above into the center of the basin.

Obito, who had remained intangible the whole time, stood waiting.

His eyes narrowed:

"The technique Pain used to destroy Konoha was insanely powerful. And the timing of its use… perfect. But I know, after it's used, the Deva Path's power becomes temporarily drained."

Naruto calmly replied,

"Isn't it the same for you? You just fired all your Tailed Beast Bombs at once. That means you can't control the tailed beasts for now, right?"

"Hmph. Then it's time to decide the outcome."

Obito's voice turned cold. "You know the moment my hand touches you… it's over."

Clink.

Chains slid from his sleeves.

Naruto's expression didn't change.

"And if I mark you with the Flying Thunder God, you'll never sleep soundly again."

 Crack!

 His purple chakra coat reappeared, and a Rasengan formed in his left hand—

 Swish!

The two clashed head-on. As their short weapons met, Naruto suddenly threw a kunai

whoosh!

The kunai flew straight through Obito's mask.

Obito thought calmly, This again... He's going to appear from the kunai, just like before, right?

Swish!

Obito quickly turned and caught the kunai behind him.

But Naruto smirked. Instead of teleporting, he charged forward and attacked with a Rasengan to Obito's back!

Whoosh…!

But the blow never landed, Naruto passed right through him!

Obito's eyes narrowed. I've lied and used tricks so many times, I almost fool myself now…

Clack!

As they passed each other, chains flew out from Obito's sleeves, catching Naruto!

"Real or fake, true or false… there's no fixed pattern in battle. You just wait for the enemy to slip up."

The chains tightened, and Obito grabbed Naruto's back!

But right before he could touch him, swish!

Naruto vanished, teleporting to the kunai he had thrown earlier.

The whole exchange happened in an instant, but only the two of them truly understood the danger behind every move.

In the end, it was a draw.

Naruto turned around and said,

"You've gotten stronger since you fought my dad…"

Obito touched his shoulder.

"And your reflexes are almost as sharp as his. But you're more unpredictable. Luckily, the Flying Thunder God mark can't be shared, otherwise, you'd be impossible to stop."

Naruto smiled faintly.

"Next time… I won't miss."

Naruto clenched the kunai in his mouth and quickly formed hand seals.

— Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Bang!

A Shadow Clone appeared, also wearing the purple Lightning Style Chakra Mode, and moved to Obito's other side, also holding a kunai in its mouth.

Obito narrowed his eyes.

"So… your real body and Shadow Clone are both using Lightning Style Chakra Mode. You plan to use the clone to grab me if I go after your real body."

"But my eyes haven't left you for a second, I know exactly which one is the real you. If I suck in your real body, the clone will vanish too. Splitting your chakra like this is pointless."

Naruto, still biting the kunai, grinned.

"You won't know if it works… until you try!"

Obito's gaze sharpened.

"Then try it!"

Swish!

Naruto and his Shadow Clone charged from opposite sides. Both formed Rasengan in their left hands as they closed in.

Obito didn't move. His right eye scanned between them.

He's putting his real body on my left, he even knows the blind spot of my right eye?

He's gotten cunning…

"But it doesn't matter. I knew which one was real from the start!"

The moment their short weapons clashed, Obito spun left and grabbed Naruto's body!

He thought, He didn't throw a kunai this time... That would've made me second-guess.

I covered every angle, except one… What a mistake.

Once someone is caught in Kamui, even Flying Thunder God can't save them…

A confident smirk formed under Obito's mask.

"I win."

His hand landed squarely on Naruto's face.

Bang!

The moment Obito touched him, Naruto vanished in a puff of smoke!

Obito's pupils shrank.

"A clone!? That's impossible! I saw it with my Sharingan, it was definitely the real body!

Wait... did they switch places by teleporting through the kunai they each held…?!"

"This is Flying Thunder God: V2!"

Behind Obito, Naruto's real body appeared with a Rasengan ready!

Obito's heart sank. "No—!!"

Boom!

Naruto slammed the Rasengan into Obito's back, pinning him to the ground!

Blood sprayed out and splashed onto Naruto's kunai!

Snap!

As the Rasengan faded, Naruto left a Flying Thunder God mark on Obito's back!

Obito forced himself up, wincing in pain, and quickly activated his intangible form to escape!

Whoosh! He created distance between them, breathing hard.

"Huff… huff… I really underestimated you," Obito muttered.

"Your reflexes are already on par with Minato's, but your Flying Thunder God technique… might even be better."

Hiss… hiss…

A small snake slipped from Naruto's sleeve, licked the blood off the kunai, and disappeared back into the sleeve.

Bang!

Naruto tossed a smoke bomb at his feet, vanishing into the mist.

Swish…

Using the smoke as cover, the little snake slipped away from Naruto and disappeared into the distance.

Naruto said calmly, "You're wrong, Obito. It's not me you're underestimating, it's my father. I still don't believe I've surpassed him in either of those things."

Obito's eyes darkened. "Either way, I won't give you another chance..." 

Swish!

Tobi landed beside him.

At the same time, pieces of paper swirled around Naruto and formed into Konan.

Naruto asked, "How is it?"

Konan replied, "Everything is ready on our end."

"Good." Naruto nodded, his eyes fixed on Tobi. "There's something unusual inside that guy…"

Obito said, "Tobi, Naruto knows my abilities too well. I need you to keep him distracted. I'll find the right moment to pull him in."

Tobi grinned. "Got it. I've been meaning to test the power of the one inside me too…"

Bang!

Tobi clasped his hands in front of his chest.

—Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!
