"Well done, Kakashi."

Obito gave a thumbs up, his efforts of switching back and forth between reality and illusion, watching the masked man's ethereal transformation, were worthwhile.

Having lost his intangibility ability, the masked man's fighting power is greatly reduced. Relying solely on his combat experience to fight Kakashi, he will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

"Alright, let's go back..."

"Ugh!"

Kakashi was about to respond when he was suddenly struck hard on the head, as if hit by a heavy hammer!

The masked man had regained consciousness at some point, not only shaking off the paralysis but also taking the opportunity to attack the unsuspecting Kakashi!

With a single blow, Kakashi collapsed to the ground, his consciousness fading.

In his dazed state, a heart-wrenching pain shot through his eye sockets—his Sharingan had been brutally stolen by the masked boy!

"Ugh..." Kakashi covered his empty eye sockets and let out a painful groan.

The masked man did not stop, and delivered a powerful punch to Kakashi's chest. The astonishing force even caused the ground to crack like a spider web.

A loud bang! was followed by a dull thud!

Blood splattered everywhere, and Kakashi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Then everything went black, and he fainted.

Before he could fall to the ground, the masked man coldly kicked him dozens of meters away, sending him tumbling several times on the ground like a kite with a broken string before finally stopping.

Under the continuous heavy blows, Kakashi's life force was rapidly draining away.

Obito's gaze swept over Kakashi's body, and seeing that he still had a breath left, he immediately turned to the mysterious masked man.

"Izanagi?"

Obito narrowed his eyes. Clearly, the masked man couldn't have recovered so quickly on his own. The only explanation was that he had used that forbidden technique to transfer the damage.

"You do have some knowledge, but..."

The masked man smirked coldly, deftly prying open a corner of his mask with his fingers. With lightning speed, he removed the Sharingan from his blind left eye, replacing it with the Mangekyou Sharingan he had stolen from Kakashi.

He casually tossed the discarded Sharingan aside, then stomped on it hard, turning it into dust.

"It doesn't matter whether a dead person knows or not."

Obito easily caught the kunai on the ground with a flick of his wrist. "You seem quite confident you can keep me here?"

The masked man did not answer, but slowly approached; silence was the greatest contempt.

Obito Uchiha stared at him, his eyes calm, only his Sharingan slowly turning, as if holding a thousand unspoken words.

"Space-time extinction," Obito murmured.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange wave surged from Dai Tu's body, and space seemed to be paused, everything froze, including the approaching masked man.

"Time-Space Annihilation" allows users to manipulate the boundaries of time, space, and reality, traversing the river of time.

In layman's terms, it means time has stopped.

This is the eye technique that Obito mastered after awakening the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and its power is astonishing.

Once activated, everything around him, except for himself, will be forcibly frozen in time.

Although it's not strictly a true time stop, but more like an advanced version of a freeze spell, it's an overwhelming force for the opponent in front of them.

At this moment, only Obito was able to move freely in the entire space.

He slowly walked towards the masked man and gently removed the mask that concealed the truth.

A face that bore a striking resemblance to his own, but was covered in scars, was revealed.

"Tsk, it's hard to imagine I'd become like this, even worse than Kakashi."

Obito said with a self-deprecating laugh, then put the mask back on the masked man.

The masked man's eyes were filled with terror. He was fully conscious, yet he couldn't control his body at all.

Even though he was willing to sacrifice the Kaleidoscope to use Izanagi to escape this predicament, he discovered that even this ability was sealed.

Everything was at Obito's mercy.

"That's enough. It's time to end all this." Obito gripped the kunai in his hand, preparing to subdue the other party and take him away.

However, at that very moment, a weak yet resolute voice came from behind: "Wait, don't kill him..."

Obito turned around in surprise and saw that Kakashi had woken up with difficulty at some point, his heavily injured body dragging a long trail of blood as he moved step by step toward them.

Facing Obito's gaze, Kakashi reluctantly raised his hand, pleading, "Don't kill him..."

Obito raised an eyebrow, surprised that he was so important to Kakashi.

This stirred a strange sense of emotion within him.

"Don't worry, I never intended to kill him," Obito reassured him.

Upon hearing this, Kakashi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but his tense body finally gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, his life force flickering and about to be extinguished.

"Kakashi!"

Obito's heart clenched, and he rushed over to check the injuries. His fingers gently touched the pulse; the weak but still present signs of life brought him some relief.

But this momentary emotional fluctuation caused subtle cracks to appear in the stillness field that Obito had just constructed.

The masked man was equally skilled in spacetime ninjutsu; this mere momentary lapse was enough for him to catch it.

He suddenly activated his divine power, and space and time seemed to be kneaded and distorted by him, disappearing from the scene in the blink of an eye.

In single-eye mode, the Sharingan's power is reduced to one-quarter, yet the masked man can still quickly unleash Kamui even under such limitations.

Now that he has both eyes, his spellcasting speed has increased several times over.

Seeing this, Obito was too late to stop it and could only sigh helplessly, watching as the cooked duck flew away.

But the most important thing right now is to save Kakashi; as for the masked man's escape, let's leave that aside for now.

He picked up Kakashi and was about to leave when a message from Shinomiya Yuzuki arrived.

After a quick glance, he gave a brief reply and then used teleportation to leave.

"That's it, the whole story," Obito Uchiha recounted.

"What a twist of fate," Shinomiya Yuuki chuckled. "But it's alright, he's gone, so be it. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, I'll take care of it myself."

He waved his hand casually, as if he didn't care at all about the masked man who possessed dual divine powers.

This composure was not arrogance, but rather a confidence he genuinely possessed.

With over 200,000 gold coins in hand, he awaits tonight to strengthen himself, and his strength will likely approach the level of the Sage of Six Paths. Unless the Sage of Six Paths reappears, no one in the ninja world can surpass him.

"It's getting late, everyone. What are your plans for tonight?" Youyue smiled slightly and asked about the arrangements for the evening.

Naruto was the first to respond excitedly, "Of course, I'll take my parents home!"

He took Kushina's hand and said excitedly, "Mom, let me show you our home."

That humble little house, which had been lonely for more than ten years, will finally be filled with the warmth of home and laughter from today onwards!

He grabbed Kushina's hand and hurried towards a street in Konoha: "Hurry, hurry!"

Kushina covered her mouth and chuckled softly, bidding everyone farewell: "See you tomorrow, everyone."

As Naruto left, Hashirama Senju slowly got up, having recovered considerably after a long rest.

He looked at Tobirama Senju, then said to Yuuki Shinomiya, "Yuuki, Tobirama and I are planning to stay with the monkey for a while."

"Although his governance of Konoha had some minor flaws, overall it was outstanding. I want to learn from his experience and see how to make the village even stronger."

As the founder of Konoha, Hashirama only served as Hokage for two years, while Hiruzen Sarutobi served as Hokage for decades. In terms of management and village development, Hiruzen's accumulated experience far surpassed Hashirama's. To some extent, Hashirama's humility in seeking advice was not unreasonable.

"By the way, if the monkeys ask about our origins, can you tell us?"

"Of course, it's not like it's some kind of secret," Yuzuki replied readily.

"Then it's alright."

The Hashirama brothers nodded to indicate that they understood.

Next up is Obito and his group.

Clearly, Obito had already made his plans: "We'll naturally stay at Kakashi's place, but this guy's in the hospital, so we'll have to go take care of him tonight."

"Ugh, what an idiot."

He took Nohara Rin's hand and smiled, "Rin, you don't mind, do you?"

Nohara Rin smiled playfully: "Of course I don't mind."

"Tsk, the stench of love."

Shinomiya Yuuki fanned the air around her as if she were disgusted.

"Alright, now that everyone has made arrangements, I'm relieved. Everyone, I'll be going now."

After bidding farewell to everyone, Youyue leaped up and, with a few nimble jumps, disappeared into the night.

However, just a few seconds later, Yuyue jumped back in a disheveled state, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

He picked up the forgotten Sasuke from the ground and hoisted him onto his shoulder: "I forgot someone."

Then, he slipped away as if fleeing, leaving everyone in a state of laughter.
