Chapter 54: Giving Obito Flashbacks

With Genji's actions, Kirigakure was now in complete chaos. Battles erupted everywhere in the village, and everyone had their own convictions. However, while everyone in the village was madly fighting, the Anbu base was eerily quiet. "Rin" Kakashi closed his eyes in pain, everything was as he had guessed. So, Obito turning out like this was indeed because of that incident? But how did he know? "Do you know? I was also there that day." As Kakashi remained silent, Obito seemed to no longer want to pretend. Recalling everything from that day, his face also showed pain as he said coldly, "When I desperately rushed there, I witnessed everything I least wanted to believe and least wanted to see." "From that moment on, I knew the place I was in was nothing but hell. This false world has nothing worth lingering over." "Konoha will always be late, the world will never change, everyone lives in hell, so..." "I want to create a new world, a world of peace, a world where Rin can exist forever!" Perhaps it was because he had encountered Kakashi and his identity was no longer concealable, Obito hoarsely spoke everything in his heart. His words silenced everyone present. Kisame was originally wondering who he had encountered, but now it seemed this person's ideas were similar to his own. Jiraiya, on the other hand, frowned deeply. He realized Takemi's words were all correct, but due to a lack of information, the scope of his understanding was too small. Obito's goal seemed to be more than just Konoha. 'This organization is far more dangerous than imagined!' Jiraiya's gaze was solemn, and Kakashi also fell silent at this moment. He also realized the seriousness of the problem, but he didn't understand why Obito had gone to such an extreme. "You just said you saw everything?" Suddenly, Takemi , who had been silent, spoke, "Then why are you still complaining about Konoha being late? If you had been faster, maybe you would have made it?" "..." These abrupt words broke the silence. Obito's face turned ugly, but before he could speak, Takemi interjected again, "Also, to summarize what you just said, you want the world to be peaceful, right?" "..." "But considering your actions, you wouldn't be planning to kill everyone in the world, would you?" "???" "After all, if everyone is dead, wouldn't there be no more conflicts in this world, and it would become peaceful? But isn't that a bit extreme?" Takemi's words made Jiraiya and Kakashi gasp. Even Kisame looked at Obito with some astonishment. Obito remained silent at this moment. It wasn't that he didn't want to refute, but he couldn't possibly reveal the 'Eye of the Moon' plan, could he? However, his behavior seemed to imply agreement. He really wanted to curse right now, was he that extreme? "Obito, we must take you back!" Kakashi no longer wanted to say anything more at this moment, his Sharingan stared fixedly at Obito. "Also, the last time you appeared in Konoha, Naruto's Chakra reacted. It was you ten years ago too, wasn't it?" "Yes, it was me." Obito admitted it directly. At this point, there was nothing to hide. His gaze was cold as he looked at the people in front of him. "But to catch me, you'll have to see if you have the ability!" As he spoke, the Fourth Mizukage raised his head, his surging Chakra constantly condensing. Obito also turned to look at Kisame and said, "Although there was an unexpected turn, I want to ask you, are you willing to create a new world with me?" "I don't seem to have a choice now, do I?" Kisame shook his head. He slowly drew the Samehada from his back, his gaze fierce as he looked towards the Konoha ninjas. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire underground base became exceptionally tense. "Do it!" Suddenly, Obito whispered, and the Fourth Mizukage's Chakra erupted. A water mirror appeared out of thin air. The next moment, a figure identical to Jiraiya surged from the water mirror, charging towards Jiraiya. "This is truly troublesome..." Jiraiya secretly grumbled. He knew this was the Fourth Mizukage's specialty, the 'Water Mirror Technique'. This technique could make a clone with almost identical power to the target. Jiraiya immediately dodged the reflection of the water mirror, while quickly forming hand signs. Wild Lion's Mane Technique! His white hair, like needles, shot straight towards the clone, but at this moment, the Fourth Mizukage also charged forward. "Jiraiya-sama..." Seeing this, Kakashi immediately wanted to provide support, but a thick sword was already held horizontally in front of him. "Kakashi, I know you." Kisame's voice was slightly playful. "I'm very curious, what kind of power can your Sharingan unleash?!" As he spoke, the Samehada swept horizontally, aiming directly at Kakashi's head. Kakashi had no choice but to quickly leap backward to avoid the blow, but Kisame also pursued him. For a time, the underground base became a chaotic mess, with only Obito and Takemi yet to make a move. "Brat..." Obito gently waved his sleeve, and a black iron chain fell out, which he gripped tightly in his hand. "Originally, I didn't want to deal with you, but now it seems you're the only one left, which is fine..." Swoosh— The next instant, Obito charged directly towards Takemi. "The score from last time must be settled properly!" "Tch." Takemi snorted softly, then immediately met him. They weren't particularly far apart to begin with, and for a Ninja, that distance could be covered in the blink of an eye. Takemi instantly drew his short sword, purple lightning furiously pulsating. "That sword..." Obito's eyes narrowed, he was even more annoyed now. He certainly recognized that sword. After all, Kakashi had used that same sword to save him back then. But that time, the sword had broken. He hadn't expected Kakashi to actually repair this sword and even give it to this brat! "Hmph!" Obito snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on the sword that passed through his body. The moment the blade passed, he made his move with ferocity. Swish— With a soft sound, the iron chain wrapped around and attacked Takemi. In an instant, Takemi's body was shredded, but Obito snorted coldly. Just then, Takemi suddenly appeared from underground, slashing at him with a sword, but unfortunately, he had already entered the Kamui dimension. "Water Clone, very fast." Obito snorted coldly, looking disdainfully at Takemi, who quickly retreated after missing his attack. "But all your movements cannot escape the gaze of these eyes, and this time we are not in Konoha. I'm not short on time. Also, a question..." "Kakashi and Jiraiya are both preoccupied, so who will save you this time?" As soon as his words fell, he had already completed the hand signs. Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance! Flames, accompanied by spatial distortion, transformed into a unique vortex, furiously rushing towards Takemi. Earth Release: Earth Style Wall! Takemi formed a hand sign with one hand, and in an instant, a thick earth wall appeared before him. Boom— The flames and the earth wall collided, and in an instant, a scorching aura rose throughout the entire Anbu base. "Is that brat really okay?" On the other side, Jiraiya was dealing with the Fourth Mizukage's attack while also paying attention to Takemi's situation. Not just him, Kakashi, who was entangled with Kisame, was also doing the same. He originally wanted to deal with Obito himself, but being entangled by Kisame, he had no choice. Kisame was far more terrifying than he had imagined. And Obito... At least Takemi had taken advantage and won once, and he had also told them something. The Fourth Hokage's mark was very likely on Obito! "You must be careful..." Kakashi muttered to himself, but at this moment, the Samehada once again cut through the air. "Now is not the time to be distracted, Kakashi." Kisame's voice rang out, pulling Kakashi back to reality, and similarly, Jiraiya also had to focus on the battle. Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh— Just then, several kunai suddenly shot out from the flames, covering Obito completely. "This move again?" Obito sneered. His entire body had already become intangible, and he had no intention of absorbing any of the kunai. Ignoring the kunai scattered everywhere, his gaze instantly turned to Takemi, who was charging out from the side. "I won't fall for the same trick twice, your fate is already sealed!" "Is that so?" Takemi charged forward with a slash, and his voice followed, "You said earlier that you wanted to create a world with Rin, but Kakashi-sensei told me that she seemed to have died due to an accident." Whoosh— As he spoke, the short sword sliced through Obito's body, but his words made anger flash in Obito's eyes. "What do you know?" Obito instantly attacked, his iron chain aiming towards Takemi. "Don't use your ignorance to assume my thoughts!" Clang— The moment the iron chain struck Takemi , the purple lightning all over Takemi's body instantly erupted, blocking Obito's attack. "Is that so?" Takemi swung another slash with his backhand. This time, his attention was completely focused. His eyes were fixed on Obito's every movement, he wouldn't miss any detail. After pretending for so long, he knew his chance was coming. "You're looking for death." Obito was also extremely serious. Having learned his lesson, he would never be fooled again. This time, he didn't absorb anything. And he confirmed that the Takemi in front of him was the real body. He wouldn't give any chances this time. The moment the sword passed through his body, he also moved immediately, extending his hand straight towards Takemi, and the power of Wood Release also appearing at this moment. But Takemi's eyes lit up at this moment, he was waiting for this. "Didn't you just say..." Takemi's voice sounded softly, but at this instant, Obito's face changed drastically. Because at that very moment, the Takemi in front of him suddenly disappeared, and his voice came from behind him. "You won't fall for the same trick again?" "What? How is that possible?!" Obito's eyes widened. He had no time to send his body to the Kamui dimension. The memories of that moment were frantically assaulting his brain. Flying Thunder God Technique? And... Boom— In an instant, a tearing pain came from behind him, as if struck by a high-speed rotating heavy object. He knew, this was Rasengan! His mind was somewhat dazed now, he couldn't understand why Takemi knew this technique. Why... Everything from that night was happening again at this moment?! "And everyone is already dead, you wouldn't be planning to use genjutsu, would you?" Just then, Takemi's voice echoed in his ear again. "No, isn't that just deceiving yourself? Who would replace reality with an illusion?" "..."
