Chapter 22: Mangekyo vs Mangekyo

"Pfft!"

Sasuke's figure dissipated like white smoke. The man in black didn't hit his real body.

Shadow Clone Jutsu

Sasuke's figure flashed from behind, and thousands of squeaking senbon fell like a rain of swords from the sky.

The man in black's body didn't turn intangible for the second time. Instead, he took the hit head - on.

The sharp senbon cut through his skin and penetrated his body. Fortunately, he used his Sharingan in advance to identify the positions of a few critical senbon and managed to dodge being hit by them.

He looked at Sasuke standing high up, looking as if he had everything under control.

Who on earth was he?

He was not only from the Uchiha clan but also had a connection with Kakashi. What was even more troublesome was that he seemed to know the weakness of his Kamui.

He had already used Izanagi and didn't have a second life.

"Come on, Obito. Aren't you going to attack me?"

The man in black's body visibly froze for a moment. This guy actually knew his real name.

"How do you know who I am?"

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that I look down on you. You've been living in a false dream. Do you really think you can create a world?"

"You bastard. What do you know about me?"

Obito, in a fit of rage, formed hand seals with both hands.

Fire Release: Violent Storm Dance

The storm caused by the distorted space of Kamui combined with the Fire Release to form a powerful vortex of flames that spun towards Sasuke.

Sasuke's figure blurred so fast that only a faint after - image was left. By the time Obito blinked again, a bright blade was already in front of his eyes.

He instinctively blocked the blade with a kunai and stepped back to dodge.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The sound of clashing metal blades was incessant.

Compared to Sasuke, who was calm and dealing with the situation effortlessly, Obito looked much more disheveled. He couldn't keep entangling with his rival like this and had to end it quickly.

Obito flashed backward to create some distance between him and Sasuke.

Uchiha Flame Formation

He transformed the tiny amount of chakra at his fingertips into scorching flames and injected them into the ground to form a dazzling barrier.

This barrier was both offensive and defensive, and even a tailed beast couldn't break it in a short time.

He wanted to see if this smug - looking guy could still keep that expression on his face until the end.

Sasuke showed no sign of panic. The patterns in his eyes spun rapidly.

Susanoo

A huge amount of chakra created a solid human - shaped armor. When the two great ninjutsu collided, they generated a tremendous amount of energy that started to gradually shatter the space. After the storm subsided, Sasuke's Susanoo still stood intact, but Obito's barrier was nowhere to be found.

Sasuke lazily stood in the center of the Susanoo and yawned.

"Ah~ If you hadn't come to cause trouble, I'd already be asleep at this time."

Looking at that non -chalant attitude really made Obito inexplicably angry.

"What are you joking about!"

"Joking? You're the one who's joking! The Uchiha clan has never done anything wrong to you, but you were so crazy that you massacred your own clan. The Fourth Hokage, your teacher, had never done anything wrong to you either, but you still mercilessly killed him!"

Well, I can't say much to you about this either."

Speaking of his teacher, he somehow thought of Orochimaru. He wondered how Orochimaru was doing recently. He should be alive and kicking, holed up in some experimental site doing experiments.

..................

A bone-chilling coldness hit him. In his more than 40-year life, Orochimaru had never felt so cold all over his body as he did today. He looked up out of the window and thought, was the weather about to change?

..................

The eye exposed from Obito's mask didn't show the slightest sign of remorse because of Sasuke's words, but rather revealed endless hatred.

This mysterious man in front of him was too powerful. After just a few rounds of combat, Obito knew he couldn't win. So continuing to fight would be a waste of time. Besides, this space couldn't hold out any longer.

Sasuke dashed forward again and swept his blade horizontally at Obito. Obito quickly held his kunai horizontally in front of his chest to block, which made the original direction of the blade twist. Seizing this opportunity, he used Kamui again.

Sasuke's attack seemed to hit the air. He frowned unhappily. If Obito always wanted to play the coward, he really had no way out.

"It's a space ninjutsu. It's really troublesome!"

Watching the figure fade away, Sasuke roared loudly at Obito.

"Obito Uchiha, listen to me. I don't care what your plan is, but if you dare to make a move against Konoha or the Uchiha clan, I will definitely kill you."

Obito, holding his injured body, glanced back at the majestic figure.

It seemed that Madara Uchiha hadn't told him the truth either. Otherwise, why had he never mentioned such a powerful person to him?

The plan had changed. He'd come up with a new plan after he recovered from his injury.

....................

Watching Obito's figure fade away, Sasuke returned to the ward and dispelled his Transformation Jutsu.

"So close!"

If he had fought a bit longer just now, his chakra would have really been exhausted.

If you ask why he suddenly had such a huge amount of chakra, it all started from the night when Shisui was attacked.

He knew clearly that with only the chakra he had cultivated and a not-yet-grown Naruto, it was impossible to stop Tanzō's plan.

All plans were meaningless without strength as a backing.

It wasn't that he lacked strength; he just temporarily didn't have enough chakra. So where could he get chakra? Just as he was thinking about this question, he saw Naruto, who was alive and kicking beside him.

⊙ω⊙

Wasn't there a rich source of chakra right beside him? He might as well borrow some from Naruto.

"Naruto, look at my eyes."

"Ah, isn't Sasuke going to train today? Why do I need to look at your eyes?"

Naruto stared at Sasuke's eyes without any defense. Well~ his eyes were really big and his eyelashes were so long.

Just as he was thinking like this, Sasuke's eyes changed. He activated his Sharingan and entered Naruto's body.

He couldn't help but be shocked when seeing the Nine - Tailed Fox again. It had a huge body like a blood - like beast, sharp teeth, and its irritable temper would scare anyone who saw it.

"Who? Who dares to intrude into my turf?"

When the Nine - Tailed Fox slightly shifted its body, a powerful storm sprang up, causing his young body to tremble uncontrollably.

He thought it was a tough opponent at first. But upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just a fair - skinned little dango, even smaller than half of his fingernail. However, in those eyes of this tiny dango, there was boundless power.

Such a powerful Sharingan was even superior to that of Madara Uchiha back then.
