Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 541 Izanagi

The atmosphere in the enclosed space was tense and oppressive.

Kakashi and Obito stood facing each other, their eyes revealing determination and hostility.

They were once comrades, fighting side by side, but today they are enemies.

Holding their weapons, their bodies tense, breathing rapidly, they were ready to attack at any moment. Their eyes were fixed on each other, trying to find a weakness in each other's gaze.

We once shared laughter and tears, faced difficulties and challenges together, but now, all of that is in the past.

Their pasts intertwine in this enclosed space, and every memory is like a sharp knife, piercing their hearts.

"It seems only one of us will make it out alive today!"

A flash of blue lightning streaked across his hand as Kakaji gripped his kunai tightly, staring intently at the figure opposite him, silently preparing himself.

"yes!"

Having also gathered a large amount of chakra, Obito was prepared and coldly replied.

Time seemed to freeze in this enclosed space, each second feeling like an eternity. They waited silently, waiting for the other to reveal a weakness, waiting to launch a fatal blow.

brush!

Kakashi and Obito's pupils contracted as if they had simultaneously found an opening in each other's defenses and charged at one of them.

Noisy!

Without hesitation, Kakashi made no attempt to defend himself, and with his kunai crackling with electricity, he thrust it headlong into Obito's heart.

Without a trace of flair or his usual superb combat skills, this attack was completely unworthy of his title as a Konoha technician.

"Are you planning to die together with them?"

Such a straightforward attack could not escape the Sharingan's excellent perception, and Obito instantly understood Kakashi's intentions.

puff!

A soft sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out.

"Obito, you..."

With his head down, Kakashi looked at the weapon that had passed under his armpit, then turned to look at Obito in disbelief.

Unfortunately, the orange swirling one-eyed mask obscured Obito's expression, preventing him from seeing the other person's face clearly.

"It was just a slip of the hand!"

As he squeezed out those few words, a thin line of scarlet blood dripped down the edge of his mask.

"Why..."

Kakashi could hardly believe his eyes as his right hand slowly withdrew from Obito's heart.

After a long battle, he realized that Obito was no longer the same person he used to be, and that he had no way to bring him back on track.

He has decided to risk his life to prevent the other person from falling into the abyss.

It's just that I didn't point it out, and things turned out this way.

"Ugh... Wow..."

As Kakashi retracted his arm, Obito could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood.

"hehe!"

"This battle... is not over yet..."

Looking down at his chest, riddled with holes from both sides, Obito gasped for breath, his gaze returning to Kakashi.

"Having come this far, are you still not planning to give up?"

Looking at Obito kneeling on the ground, not far from death, Kakashi felt not joy at successfully preventing Obito from regaining the Sharingan, but rather sadness.

Killing a comrade is not a pleasant thing.

"Do I... am I about to die?"

Taking a deep breath, Obito looked at Kakashi, flicked his right hand, and casually threw the mask he was wearing onto the ground.

"Your face..."

Looking at the crisscrossing lines on Obito's face, Kakashi recalled the origin of these hideous scars.

Thinking that Obito's life was nearing its end, he felt as if all his strength had been drained and knelt on the ground.

"How did things turn out like this?"

How did a helpful boy and two close friends who couldn't stand each other but regarded each other as important companions end up like this?

"This is... the fate of a ninja!"

His left eye, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened, and in what should have been an empty eye socket, a scarlet three-tomoe star radiated a blazing red light.

Bang! !

Obito, who had been kneeling on the ground, waiting to die, suddenly appeared behind Kakashi.

"It's clearly already... This is impossible..."

Kakashi was punched on the head by Obito and hadn't even recovered when he was grabbed by the throat. He clutched the arm around his neck with both hands and muttered to himself in disbelief.

He had clearly shattered Obito's heart with his Lightning Blade, so how could Obito be completely unharmed and still be able to launch an attack?

Nothing is impossible.

"I told you, this battle isn't over yet!"

Slowly tightening his grip, he looked at Kakashi, who was still struggling. The Sharingan in his left eye, which had just been radiating a scarlet light, had now turned completely gray.

"It's time to return this gift to its rightful owner!"

Seeing that Kakashi's struggles were getting weaker and weaker, Obito reached out with one hand and felt around Kakashi's eye socket.

With a muffled groan from Kakashi, the Sharingan that held the memory of their past friendship vanished, leaving only an empty eye socket in its place.

call!call!

"Why, why didn't you kill me?"

Taking a deep breath, recovering from the suffocation and fainting sensation, Kakashi lay on the ground and turned his head to ask:

"And what's that?"

"I couldn't possibly have been under an illusion!"

All of this happened so suddenly; in the blink of an eye, Obito appeared unharmed behind him.

Moreover, he was certain that he was not under any illusion spell.

"Killing you is unnecessary. In the world I created, there's not only Lin, but also a place for you."

A layer of white mist lingered at the corners of his eyes as Obito answered casually.

"As for what just happened, you were definitely not under an illusion!"

"That's a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan, a forbidden technique used on oneself at the cost of one Sharingan, Izanagi!"

"This is an illusion cast on myself, which brings things from the illusion into reality, allowing me to avoid certain death."

"is that so?"

With one hand covering his left eye, Kakashi struggled to stand up.

However, the sudden attack, the loss of one of his eyes, and the prolonged battle had taken a toll on his body, causing it to protest silently.

"Stubborn to the end!"

After estimating the time it would take for his eyes to recover, Obito's gaze swept over the swaying Kakashi.

He frowned almost imperceptibly.

"Obito... I will absolutely not let you..."

Kakashi, who could barely speak, trembled slightly, as if he wanted to make a final struggle.

"snort!"

He snorted coldly.

Obito interrupted Kakashi abruptly, his eyes flashing with ocular power.

A ripple appeared on the ground within the Divine Might Space.

When the ripples disappeared, Kakashi's figure was still there.

"Since you're injured, you'd like to rest for a bit!"

After sending Kakashi out of the Kamui dimension, Obito began to think about his next plan.
