Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 538 Obito's Obsession

A flash of light streaked across the horizon.

In the dimly lit Kamui space, the third guest arrived, following Toshiro and Nagato.

"Obito, there's no need to continue these genjutsu tests."

Kneeling on one knee, Kakashi, though somewhat dejected, still tried to persuade his former comrade to turn back.

"Furthermore, you shouldn't have colluded with the Akatsuki."

"Have you considered how heartbroken Lin would be to see you like this today?"

At this moment, besides Rin, he couldn't think of a better way to move Obito.

"Don't talk to me about Tilin!"

Upon hearing Kakashi mention Rin, Obito's expression beneath his orange swirling mask remained unreadable, but his tone had already turned noticeably colder.

"It's because of you ninjas that Rin tragically met her end."

"Then, why did you bring me to this place?"

"To imprison me in this place?"

Kakashi asked with a hint of doubt and confusion, "Why did Obito bring me into the Kamui dimension?"

"You should know that this space cannot confine me."

"Yes! The same eyes."

"I can trap anyone, but I can't trap you!"

Looking into Kakashi's eyes and then into his own, Obito's tone became somewhat uncertain, as if he was hesitating about something.

"Thank you for the gift!"

Kakashi touched his eyes, his expression inexplicably sad.

I never imagined that I and Obito would one day face each other in life and death.

"A gift?"

Muttering to himself, Obito stared intently at Kakashi's left eye with his exposed single eye.

"I didn't expect that you would also unlock the kaleidoscope."

"But that makes sense, since both eyes originated from the same source, they should have opened their eyes back then!"

Slightly surprised, Obito finally made up his mind, his voice unusually firm.

"But today, I'm taking back this gift I gave you to celebrate your promotion to Jonin!"

Kakashi's ability to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan wouldn't have been possible without Obito's help.

When Toshiro told Kakashi that Obito was still alive, Kakashi was so shocked that his Sharingan showed some abnormalities.

Upon seeing this, Toshiro, who was prepared, guided Kakashi and successfully helped him master the activation of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Take back this Sharingan?"

Hearing Obito's words, Kakashi was somewhat surprised, but he didn't seem reluctant, even though this eye could allow him to use rare space-time ninjutsu.

But ultimately, these are also Obito's eyes.

When Obito gave him the eye, the circumstances were special; his original intention was probably for him to use the eye to protect Rin's safety.

He is still alive, so returning it to him is like returning it to its rightful owner.

but.

"May I ask, what do you plan to do with all the kaleidoscopes you've collected?"

If Obito suddenly realizes his mistakes, it wouldn't be a problem to return the eye to him. However, if Obito intends to use the eye for something bad, he cannot condone it.

This was a gift that Obito had given him in the past. If he were to return it, it would be to the Obito of the past, not to the current one, whom he no longer recognized.

"What for? To create a new world, a world with Lin!"

He has now been marginalized by Nagato, and the Eye of the Moon Project is basically none of his business.

Having been successfully brainwashed by Madara, and constantly dreaming of creating a world with Rin, a perfect world, how could Obito possibly accept this?

If Nagato wants to regain control of the Eye of the Moon Project, he is an obstacle he cannot bypass.

However, after his trump card was exposed, he had very little chance of winning against Nagato's Rinnegan.

Especially considering he only has one eye.

After much deliberation, Obito still felt that only by retrieving the other Mangekyou Sharingan from Kakashi's eyes could he possibly regain the initiative from Nagato.

Of course, all of this had to be carefully planned; it was like playing with fire, and he had to be extremely cautious.

"If that's the case, I refuse!"

As soon as Obito finished speaking, Kakashi refused without hesitation.

"Furthermore, I won't just stand by and watch you go further and further down the wrong path!"

With a resolute tone, Kakashi looked seriously at Obito, who was poised to attack, and slowly raised one hand in front of his chest, making a gesture that Obito was familiar with.

"The seal of opposition?"

Obito, who was preparing to launch an attack, sneered when he saw Kakashi's hand gesture.

They originally planned to ignore the children's toys and launch an attack directly.

However, seeing Kakashi's serious and focused expression, he also formed a contrasting hand seal.

"Up" x2

As if they were on the same wavelength, neither of them gave an inch and they launched their attacks simultaneously, engaging in a direct contest of physical skills.

Whoohoo!

With a swift movement of his arm and a gentle flick of his fingers, a kunai fell into Kakashi's hand from the pouch strapped to his thigh.

After spinning a few times, the kunai made a series of whooshing sounds as it slashed towards Obito's neck.

Obito, however, was equally resolute.

With a flick of his arm, a nine-section whip made of fine steel appeared in his hand, just enough to block Kakashi's attack.

Ding Ding Ding!

Sparks flew everywhere as neither of them seemed to hold back, each move aimed at the vital points of their former comrade.

In a daze, it seemed that two familiar figures were standing behind them, silently watching their two companions fighting to the death.

Ding! A crisp sound.

Kakashi's kunai, aimed at Obito's heart, was deflected by Obito, who was prepared, and flew into the air, spinning.

Just as he was about to press his advantage, Kaka did a backflip, caught up with the kunai in mid-air, and unleashed a burst of chakra in his right leg, precisely kicking the kunai's handle.

call out!

A sharp whistling sound cut through the air.

This forced Obito, who was pressing his advantage, to stop and watch helplessly as Kakashi calmly landed and took out another kunai.

"You should thank the eye I gave you for being able to keep up with my fighting pace."

Dodging the kunai aimed directly at his brow, Obito stared intently at Kakashi, his eyes blazing with red light.

"Otherwise, the outcome of today's battle would already be decided."

No matter what, I must get that Sharingan today.

"Yeah!"

Kakashi gave a curt reply, his tone somewhat complex.

This Sharingan greatly enhances his strength, but it also has significant backlash.

Without the body of an Uchiha, it would be extremely difficult for him to sustain the energy required to maintain this eye.

"However, the one who gave me this eye was the former Obito!"

"Instead of the you who dares not show your true face now!"

Seemingly having made up his mind as well, Kakashi took the initiative to launch an attack.
