I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 318 Melee

"Obito!"

In the distance, amidst the blizzard, Kakashi Hatake appeared, his face filled with disbelief as he stared at the hideous Obito Uchiha.

Kakashi Hatake's mournful cry startled Obito Uchiha, who had just been in a frenzy. Obito turned his head stiffly and looked at Kakashi, who was staring at him with a disappointed expression in the distance.

"Kakashi!"

In a deep voice, Obito Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake looked at each other, but their gazes were no longer the same as before.

"Obito! Turn back!"

Kakashi's sorrowful words caused Obito's face to gradually reveal a sinister smile.

"Ha ha!"

Amidst his maniacal laughter, Obito Uchiha stared at Kakashi Hatake in the distance, pointing at him mockingly.

"Kakashi, you actually said you'd turn back? Has this world even given me a chance to turn back?!"

With a hoarse, furious roar, Obito Uchiha's eyes were filled with madness, and the image of Rin's death kept flashing through his mind.

Again and again! Under the constant stimulation of his nerves, Obito Uchiha roared, "Kakashi! Give Rin back to me!"

"Kakashi-senpai! This person is no longer the Obito you know. He's a madman who murdered the Fourth Hokage and his wife, and killed countless people from his village!"

Uchiha Shisui, who appeared from the side, spoke loudly to Hatake Kakashi.

Seeing the crazed Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and stared intently at Obito in the distance with sharp eyes.

The headband was removed, revealing a scarlet Sharingan that spun into a kaleidoscope.

"Obito! Your crimes are unforgivable. I will use your Sharingan to make you realize your mistakes!"

Under Kakashi Hatake's resolute voice, Obito Uchiha in the distance seemed to have lost something of utmost importance, and his expression became increasingly frantic.

"Hahaha~"

Amidst maniacal laughter, the two Kamui Kaleidoscopes spun together, facing each other.

The sudden scene at the Five Kage Summit left everyone somewhat bewildered.

The terrorist organization Akatsuki has emerged, but the result is that it will cause division again.

"Damn Akatsuki! Hand over the Tailed Beasts!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, roared angrily.

Obito Uchiha was looking at himself, having just announced the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War, only to have the Akatsuki organization betray him shortly afterward.

As if he were a clown joke, he couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile.

"The Third Tsuchikage, the Fourth Raikage, the Akatsuki have allied with Uchiha Yoru, and all nine tailed beasts of the ninja world are now in Uchiha Yoru's hands. Don't you think you've chosen the wrong side?!"

Beneath Obito Uchiha's sarcastic smile, these words caused the Tsuchikage and Raikage at the Five Kage Summit to change their expressions drastically.

"Haha, how could I fall for such a clumsy attempt at provocation?" Onoki laughed calmly, seemingly not believing the other party's words at all. However, the five Kage had already begun to be on guard in secret.

This scene only evoked mockery in Obito Uchiha's eyes; indeed, this was a filthy world.

"Nagato!"

Raising his head, Obito Uchiha looked up at Pain, who was high above him, and couldn't help but curl a mocking smile into his lips.

"A good tactic, but it's a pity."

Beneath the sarcastic smile, the Akatsuki members on the flying bird suddenly trembled, and the Sharingan appeared in their pupils.

Illusion!

Suddenly, Payne in the sky trembled, as if he had lost consciousness, and fell directly from the sky. Konan, who was standing next to him, was shocked by the sudden change.

"Nagato!"

The fact that Payne could undergo such a dramatic change means that something has happened to his physical form.

Boom!

Suddenly, the snow in the distance began to collapse, as if by a repulsive force, instantly forming a circle and frantically squeezing outwards.

Super Shinra Tensei!

With a tremendous roar, a crater the size of Konoha Village instantly appeared in the snow in the distance.

"Nagato!"

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. Amid Konan's exclamation, Nagato, who had just unleashed this ninjutsu in the distance, was panting heavily, with blood continuously flowing down his cheeks.

At this moment, Nagato's eye socket was filled with black flesh and blood churning, and blood was flowing continuously. His only remaining Rinnegan was staring intently into the distance.

"Ha ha!"

As Obito Uchiha laughed maniacally, the figure of Black Zetsu slowly emerged behind him, uttering a hoarse voice.

"Obito, Nagato's legs are healed, but we only got one eye!"

A bloodied and mangled eye appeared. Obito Uchiha looked at the Rinnegan he had just acquired and sneered, "One Rinnegan is enough."

Boom!

In an instant, Kakuzu, Hidan, Sasori, and Deidara from the Akatsuki organization, along with Sarutobi Asuma, appeared behind Obito. However, the four members of the Akatsuki—Kakuzu, Hidan, Sasori, and Deidara—had Mangekyou Sharingan appearing in their pupils.

"Hehe, the Akatsuki may be yours, but I've placed restrictions on them all. I thought I wouldn't need them, but they've turned out to be of great help today."

With a mocking smile, Obito Uchiha waved his hand, signaling Black Zetsu to take the Rinnegan and leave first.

Meanwhile, Konan and Nagato stood side by side in the sky. "Nagato, your eyes!"

Nagato, panting heavily, stared intently at Obito with a grim expression. "It's nothing, just an eye."

"Who will emerge victorious now?"

Obito Uchiha stared intently at Nagato with murderous intent; a great battle was about to break out.

The five Kage watched the Akatsuki organization embroiled in internal strife with wariness.

However, how could Obito Uchiha let the Five Kage remain uninvolved? He sneered, "Third Tsuchikage, Fourth Raikage, just watch the show. After I am defeated, you will face a combined attack from Akatsuki, Konoha, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure."

"Go and kill the Hokage, the Mizukage, and the Kazekage."

Obito Uchiha coldly said something, and the five people behind him—Kakuzu, Hidan, Sasori, Deidara, and Asuma Sarutobi—instantly unleashed powerful chakra and rushed towards the three Kage.

"Akatsuki! Return the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails to me!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, roared, his body crackling with electricity as he charged directly at Nagato. The Third Tsuchikage cursed the cunning black devil at this sight.

"Wait for me!"

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, feigned anger and directly targeted Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan.

Both of them were cunning and shrewd. The Akatsuki's targets were the Hokage, Mizukage, and Kazekage. What were they doing staying? It wouldn't make sense for them not to help, but they were unwilling to help either.

The internal strife within the Akatsuki organization was also a good thing, so the two of them set their sights on Nagato.

Defeating the Akatsuki leader who was injured and lost an eye, even if we don't consider whether we can retrieve the Tailed Beasts, just the Rinnegan alone would be a huge gain for them.

Moreover, it was a two-on-one fight, with the help of their subordinates. If they couldn't win, they would just slip away and leave the others to fight to the death.

It's fair to say that the Raikage and Tsuchikage were simply trying to take advantage of the chaos, hoping to profit if they could, and retreat if they couldn't.

"Your opponent is me!"

In an instant, Obito Uchiha appeared behind Konan, using a strange space-time ninjutsu to block her path.

"Xiao Nan, I can handle things here!"

The arrogant Nagato, now being treated like an easy target, instantly revealed a look of anger and suddenly gave Konan a meaningful glance.

Boom!

He formed hand seals, and instantly six figures dressed as members of the Akatsuki appeared around him.

Pain's Six Paths have arrived!

"Damn it, how come there are so many Rinnegan!"

When Obito Uchiha saw the Tsuchikage and Raikage preparing to back down, he cursed them as cowards in his heart, but he had no choice but to rely on their strength.

"These six are all puppets of this person. Their respective paths are Heavenly Path, Human Path, Asura Path, Animal Path, Hungry Ghost Path, Hell Path, and Heretic Path... Their abilities are..."

Obito Uchiha shamelessly revealed all of Nagato's information, while Konan continuously used Paper Release to defend herself and also told Shisui Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake about Obito Uchiha's situation.

"This so-called Uchiha Obito, his Mangekyou Sharingan ability is intangibility, but he can only enter the intangible space for a maximum of five minutes..."

The mutual sabotage between the two sides led to the leakage of each other's intelligence, and a chaotic battle ensued.

Meanwhile, Tsunade, the Hokage, who was watching the show from the rooftop, calmly waved her hand and said, "These few are your practice targets."

Uchiha Sasuke, Gaara, Kimimaro, Hozuki Suigetsu, Temari, and Hyuga Neji, the six guards, rushed out instantly, heading straight for the five members of the Akatsuki organization: Kakuzu, Hidan, Sasori, Deidara, and Sarutobi Asuma.

The Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei, covered her mouth with a charming smile and teased, "It seems our rival is coming soon."

In the distance, within the forest, Yin Yang Hei Jue formed hand seals and slammed his hand on the snow, causing seven coffins to appear with a thunderous roar.

Fugaku Uchiha, Kagami Uchiha, Hiruzen Sarutobi (Third Hokage), Raikage (Third Raikage), Rasa (Fourth Kazekage), Gengetsu Hozuki (Second Mizukage), and Danzo Shimura.

"Obito!"

With a loud shout from Black Zetsu, Obito vanished from the distant battlefield and reappeared at the site of the Impure World Reincarnation.

The seven people who appeared were all still in shock, while the Third Hokage seemed to know something and glared angrily at Obito who appeared behind him.

"Evil Uchiha, how dare you toy with the souls of the dead!"

However, Obito Uchiha appeared and looked at the Third Hokage with a cruel smile, "Heh heh, I have to thank you, Third Hokage, for this. Otherwise, how would I have mastered this ninjutsu?"

"The Evil Uchiha!"

Despite the Third Hokage's angry rebuke, the kunai runes that Obito Uchiha used to control the seven people had already pierced their heads.

The seven people who were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation rolled their eyes and showed their anger.

"Damn it, those despicable people are manipulating our bodies."

"Damn it!"

Obito Uchiha smiled wickedly, "A pretty useful ninjutsu. It wasn't for nothing that I studied it for so long."

"Go! Go and fight your opponents!"

In an instant, the seven resurrected beings rushed out. Fugaku Uchiha's opponent was clearly Kakashi Hatake, while Shisui Uchiha was the opponent of the Uchiha class, as if it were a fateful duel.

The remaining group was originally going to rush towards Tsunade, Mei Terumi, and Pakura, but things changed halfway through.

"Konoha's strongest female ninja team has arrived!"

Several large snakes suddenly appeared. Of the five reanimated figures, four managed to dodge, but Danzo Shimura was unfortunately entangled by a snake around his ankle and then fell heavily to the ground.

Mitarashi Anko's straightforward smile echoed across the battlefield, with Uzuki Yugao and Yuhi Kurenai behind her.

At this moment, Kurenai touched her nose somewhat awkwardly and whispered to Anko, "Anko, could you please be a little quieter next time?"

"Red, that's called presence, don't you understand?!"

The taciturn Uzuki Yugao drew her ninja sword and said coldly, "The body reanimated by Edo Tensei cannot be killed. Prepare the sealing technique."

"You deal with that old devil Danzo!"

From a rooftop in the distance, Tsunade issued orders to Mitarashi Anko, Yuhi Kurenai, and Uzuki Yugao with an air of dominance. Looking at the approaching enemies, he revealed a mocking smile.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi; the Third Raikage; the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa; and the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki.

Four Kage-level powerhouses rushed past, and Ye Cang narrowed his eyes upon seeing this. "Leave the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, to me. I think I need to teach this short-sighted Kazekage a lesson this time."

The old and new grudges can finally be settled.

Seeing this, Mei Terumi shrugged and chuckled, teasingly saying, "Looks like I have no choice but to become the Mizukage."

"Young man, watch out!"

The Third Raikage was completely out of control of his body. Before he could even figure out what was going on, he rushed forward. Looking at the hats of the three Kage in the distance, he roared, seemingly signaling the younger generation to get out of the way.

But the next moment!

With a cold laugh, the dashing Tsunade cracked her slender knuckles as she instantly met the Third Raikage's powerful attack with her fist.

Boom!

With her slender, jade-like hand facing a fist several times larger, Tsunade unleashed terrifying power, sending the Third Raikage flying before he could even react.

Superhuman strength punch!

Under Tsunade's full-force attack, the Third Raikage was slammed into the hard ground beneath the snow, dozens of meters deep, like a cannonball.

"How...how is this possible!"

Inside the deep pit, the Third Raikage watched in shock as he was sent flying by a single punch. This terrifying power surpassed that of a Tailed Beast.

"Obito! You've gone too far!"

At this moment, Tsunade shouted, her hands suddenly forming a hand seal, and shouted at Mei Terumi and Yekura, "Stop playing around, go all out and kill these old geezers in one go!"

Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World

Rumble~

In an instant, the earth trembled, and terrifying trees and plants sprang up from the icy snow.

"Wood Release!"

Of those resurrected through Edo Tensei, only the Third Hokage knew that Tsunade had awakened Wood Release, while the Third Raikage, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki were completely unaware.

"Danzo!" The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, roared with fury as he saw Danzo being beaten in the distance.

At the same time, a vine lashed out, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's powerful will momentarily hindered his controlled body. In that instant, his body was sent flying, still heading towards Danzo in the distance.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Obito Uchiha and Zetsu had already disappeared.

"It seems this forbidden technique is still somewhat flawed."

At this moment, Obito Uchiha, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but show a solemn expression as he watched this scene. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had just appeared with a strong will, which caused a momentary delay. This was extremely dangerous for ninjas of their caliber to fight.

"It seems best to have the Third Hokage and Danzo team up for the battle."

"And you too!" Obito Uchiha stared coldly at Konan. Compared to confronting Nagato head-on, it would be more direct to capture Konan and then threaten her to obtain the remaining Rinnegan.

Ahem, it was my father's birthday yesterday, so I went back to my hometown. I got back too late and I'm too tired to write anymore. Chapter 2 will be updated later; I'm currently writing it.
