Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 112 Who Am I?! (10,000-word chapter)

"Who are you!?"

Looking at the hysterical Obito in front of her and listening to his roaring questions, Hagoromo was somewhat dazed for a moment.

What kind of terrible luck do I have to encounter two groups of Akatsuki members in one day?

Konan and Sasori are doing alright, but Hagoromo still keeps an eye on the Akatsuki's movements to some extent.

Even doing things for them, such as guiding them to help her obtain the "Reincarnation of Myself" while simultaneously tripping up Obito and his ilk, would be something Hagoromo would be very happy to do.

For example, right now, when Yuzhi asks the two of them to do hard labor for her, they still have to say "thank you" to her.

However, Yuzhi never expected that she would end up being the "real deal and the imposter"?

Silently staring at Obito before her, Haori's mind began to race.

He didn't know how Obito got to this place. Could it be that this kid had his eye on the Dragon Vein Chakra?

Obito definitely didn't come with Konan, otherwise he would have come out when I was dealing with Sasori.

Moreover, he probably wasn't looking for Yiwei, otherwise he wouldn't have come all the way to Loulan. It seems this guy is really after the dragon vein.

Just as Yuzhi was silent, he suddenly noticed that his system interface had refreshed.

[A new side quest has been obtained]

1. Reveal your identity and assist Obito in obtaining Dragon Vein Chakra.

2. Disguise your identity and acquire Dragon Vein Chakra yourself.

[Task rewards unknown]

Looking at the task list in his eyes, Yuzhi's lips curled up slightly, and the way he looked at Obito also changed slightly.

"I'll ask you one more time, who are you?!"

Seeing that Yuzhi remained silent, Obito shouted again, his aura now completely concentrated at its peak.

He did suspect that he was under a genjutsu, and he hoped even more that he had encountered a genjutsu, but no matter how he mobilized his chakra, there was no reaction.

This likely means that you have encountered a real person, but the question is, who is this guy?

"You ask me who I am?"

After a while, Yuzhi suddenly chuckled softly.

He mimicked Obito's tone at that moment, and at the same time, he casually pulled out the black stick, looking at Obito with anticipation.

"So where did this lunatic come from?"

Where did this lunatic come from?

Upon hearing this, Obito immediately lost his composure!

He recalled the time two years ago when he went to see Uchiha Hotaru, and that woman said those words to him before beating him up.

Now that he's heard those words again, how can he possibly hold back?

Could it be that woman again?

Almost subconsciously, Obito glanced at his hands again, and then suddenly became furious.

Sa—

His figure blurred into a blur as he pounced on Yuzhi at incredible speed, the chains flying through the air with a clanging sound.

"Go to hell!"

"Why"

Looking at the iron chains rushing towards her, Haori had no desire to move an inch.

He simply watched calmly as the chains passed through his body, then spoke with a sarcastic tone.

"You really are a lunatic. Although I admit you're quite good at impersonating me, don't you understand my abilities?"

Your abilities

Obito was gritting his teeth as he watched his attack miss, a scene just like when others attacked him.

Upon hearing these words, Obito completely lost his composure and glared angrily at Haori, roaring.

"Shut up!"

"Never mind, although I'm very curious about who is impersonating me, it's still a bit embarrassing."

With a slight flick of his wrist, Yu Zhi's gaze sharpened, and he spoke in a cold voice.

"I'd better get rid of you as soon as possible, so you don't embarrass me."

Yuzhi's words were like steel thorns piercing Obito's heart, and he was almost laughing with anger.

I'm impersonating you?

But before Obito could even speak, the black staff in his hand swept out.

Seeing this, Obito quickly entered the Kamui dimension, and the moment the black rod swept past, his chains followed!

boom--

Strangely, the next moment he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then he was sent flying backward and crashed hard into the wall!

"How...how is this possible?"

Obito quickly got to his feet, staring at the imposter with terror in his eyes.

He had already seized the opportunity perfectly, after all, he had been repeatedly beaten by Hagoromo, Hikaru, Minato Namikaze, and even Kakashi.

He knew his abilities had been figured out, and he had to make some changes to better deal with these enemies.

He had already waited until that imposter made his move before launching his attack. How did this guy react in time?

What's even more absurd is that even though his chains had clearly pierced through the man's body, why was his attack still a physical entity?

"Can physical attacks be carried out simultaneously with Kamui?"

Obito's mind was buzzing; he really didn't understand what was going on.

But when he saw the imposter coming over again, he immediately got up, swung the chain at him, and then lunged at him.

The iron chain pierced through Yuzhi's body in an instant, but the iron rod in his hand also came whistling through the air.

boom--

This time, both sides missed, but unlike the others, Obito's iron chain hit the ground without causing any ripples.

But the black stick of the haori struck the wall behind Obito, smashing a large hole in the wall!

"Really?"

Obito glanced at the wall behind him and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, but soon he felt an even greater pain in his chest.

Why was this imposter able to go this far, while I...

"Tsk tsk, so they've started acting as sewer rats?"

Seeing that Obito was somewhat stunned, Yuri swept the black stick in his hand again but found that the guy didn't react at all, so he couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

"So, how long can you hide?"

Suddenly, Yuzhi's figure flashed, and he created a considerable distance between himself and the others.

In the instant he created distance, his hands had already formed a hand seal.

"Fire Release: Explosive Wind Dance!"

A raging fire dragon, swirling in a vortex, instantly swept across the land, illuminating the dimly lit tower.

Obito's expression turned even uglier. Kamui combined with Fire Release—wasn't this the power he had been researching all along?

I haven't even mastered it myself, how could this imposter know this trick?

Why is this happening?

Obito's defenses were starting to crumble, and his mind went blank for a moment, but for some reason, a strange idea suddenly popped into his head.

Could this person be me?

But as soon as this absurd thought arose, he immediately shook his head to dispel it. How could there possibly be another version of himself in this world?

This is nothing more than a fake, someone with similar abilities to him!

"I'm the only one!"

Obito silently chanted in his heart, and his figure suddenly became distorted. In just a moment, he escaped the sea of ​​fire.

However, when he saw that the imposter was leisurely examining the seal of the dragon vein, seemingly not taking him seriously at all.

His face, hidden beneath the mask, was already flushed; ignoring him would be the greatest humiliation!

"You're still here?"

Haori seemed to sense something, and he turned to look at Obito, though he deliberately showed a surprised expression.

"I thought you, little mouse, had already run away. After all, you don't even have the courage to face me head-on. What are you still doing here?"

"I told you, I'm going to take off your mask, you imposter!"

Obito screamed hysterically, and his chakra began to gather rapidly.

"Is that so?"

Seeing this, Yuzhi looked at Obito in front of him and nodded slightly.

Then, in an extremely calm tone, as if he were casually chatting with someone, he spoke a sentence as if he were just being nonchalant.

"Then come up and face your death."

-

"Black, do you think there could be two people in this world who are exactly alike?"

"What's wrong with you?"

In the underground of the Land of Wind, Black Zetsu, hidden underground, suddenly asked a strange question from his White Zetsu half.

After Obito set off, the two of them simply followed.

After all, no one knew what would happen to Obito, and besides, the Dragon Vein Chakra was so dangerous that they wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't go with Black Zetsu.

However, the question that White Zetsu suddenly raised also puzzled Black Zetsu.

How can two identical people exist in one world?

No matter how similar they are, they are not the same person. Even kaleidoscopes within the same era do not have exactly the same abilities.

"Is that so?"

White Zetsu nodded halfway, then looked at Black Zetsu with a puzzled expression.

"So, it seems like I'm just like any other person like me?"

"."

Black Zetsu really didn't want to pay attention to this idiot, so he directly asked.

"What exactly are you trying to say? Just tell me. Is there some problem with Obito's side?"

"Yes, there are indeed some problems."

Bai Jue nodded slightly, speaking in his signature hoarse voice.

"It seems he met someone who was exactly like him."

"What do you mean?"

"That person is dressed exactly like Obito, and he also knows Obito's eye techniques. Moreover, he is filled with the power of me and my kind, but he seems to be stronger than Obito."

Black Zetsu was stunned by these words, his brain not yet processing them.

But just then, he suddenly sensed a surge of violent chakra, and then he saw a pillar of chakra light shooting into the sky in the distance.

In an instant, his expression changed drastically.

"You mean, Obito met someone who looked exactly like him?"

"Yeah, they look exactly the same, but the differences are huge."

"How so?"

"That person looks much stronger than Obito."

Bai Jue wasn't exactly clever; he was at a loss for words and it took him a long time to come up with this way of describing it.

Black Zetsu was already at his breaking point, and he immediately led White Zetsu towards Loulan.

He was anxious because a guess had suddenly formed in his mind.

"Could it be..."

Shaking his head, Black Zetsu increased his speed even further, and the moment he leaped into the sealed tower...

He was shocked to see one "Obito" wielding a black stick, fiercely swinging it towards the arm of another Obito.

"what!"

A black stick ripped through the sky, followed by a sudden scream.

Then, he stared blankly as Obito's arm snapped off instantly, and he crashed heavily to the ground—

The wind still howled outside Sunagakure.

Scorpion and Konan were standing together, both waiting for something.

"Who is that guy?"

Suddenly, Scorpion, who had been silent all along, spoke up, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"If I'm not mistaken, those are Uchiha people. But why would Uchiha people join this organization?"

And with such strength, he definitely shouldn't be some nobody, right?

You'll find out who he is later.

Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment after hearing Scorpion's words before answering.

Actually, her hesitation wasn't because she didn't want to reveal Madara Uchiha's identity, but because she doubted Madara Uchiha's identity!

A person's temperament is very mysterious. In the past, Obito gave her a very bad feeling, except that he guided Nagato to where he is today.

Another important point is that she could sense Obito's hidden madness and arrogance.

She had heard of Madara Uchiha's name, even though that guy was known as the Asura of the Ninja World and had killed countless people.

But he was, after all, someone on par with the First Hokage, and no matter how you look at it, he shouldn't be like this now.

Neither she nor Nagato ever truly believed Obito's so-called identity as "Uchiha Madara".

However, the situation today is different; it can even be described as terrifying!

The guy they were facing today looked exactly like the one before, both in appearance and in ability.

But that kind of demeanor—confident and without the slightest bit of madness—was completely incomparable to the previous guy.

Moreover, this person didn't hide anything today; when it was time to act, he acted openly and honestly.

Such strength and skill are truly breathtaking!

If this person claims to be Madara Uchiha, Konan probably wouldn't doubt it at all.

"Could it be that there are actually two people behind the name Uchiha Madara, one an imposter who contacted us, and the real one?"

Suddenly, a terrifying thought popped into Xiao Nan's mind.

Moreover, once this idea came to her, she found that she seemed to have completely accepted it.

Especially the scene where this guy confidently and openly talks about the resurrection technique, and there's also the part where he tries to persuade Scorpion.

That aura of authority, that way of a senior advising a junior—that's what Madara Uchiha should look like!

"If this is true, then the situation is not good, and may even be difficult to handle."

Konan thought to herself, but she had already sent this information back to the Land of Rain while Madara Uchiha was away.

She has to be extremely careful about this kind of thing.

"So mysterious?"

Scorpion gave Xiao Nan a strange look, then pondered for a moment before asking with a playful tone.

"Could he be the legendary Madara Uchiha?"

Xiao Nan's pupils dilated instantly upon hearing this, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and calmed herself down.

Sure enough, that guy's charisma was impossible to hide.

She suddenly had a guess: could it be that the real "Uchiha Madara" had found a lunatic?

The reason he had to resort to this tactic was precisely because he was easily recognized no matter how well he concealed his identity.

"Don't guess, I won't tell you."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Nan shook her head and looked at Xie Dao meaningfully.

"You should ask him if you have the chance, provided you can still run into him."

"What do you mean by that? Isn't he one of your organization?"

Scorpion frowned. He naturally wanted to learn more about the person who had guided him.

But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly froze, then turned to look south.

Not only him, but Xiao Nan, who was by his side, was the same!

At that moment, they clearly felt an immense, suffocating chakra brewing within them.

They seemed to understand what the haori had made them wait for—

Konoha, at the Fourth Hokage's residence.

Minato, who was teasing Naruto, suddenly froze, then looked straight towards the direction of Sunagakure in the west.

"What's wrong, Minato?"

Kushina, who was standing to the side, was also startled by Minato's actions, and she gave him a strange look.

But when she noticed how serious Minato's expression was, she immediately realized that something was wrong.

"I feel like my Flying Thunder God Technique has been activated, the location is..."

Minato hesitated for a moment before speaking solemnly.

"That location is Loulan. You should remember that I once told you about a mission."

For that mission, I, Zhiwei, Dingza, and even Kakashi all sealed our memories.

Although I don't remember what happened, I'm certain that the power of the dragon vein is unimaginable, and now...

"Is someone planning to make a move against the dragon vein?"

Kushina also realized the seriousness of the situation, and she frowned as she asked.

"That's very likely, so I'll go check it out."

Minato immediately stood up and quickly took out his clothes and put them on.

Even though he doesn't remember much, there are some things he needs to pay extra attention to.

"Is it that serious?"

Kushina frowned, but she eventually nodded.

"I understand. By the way, should we tell Yuzhi so that he can go with you?"

After all, he also possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, and his strength...

"No need, Yuzhi, don't trouble yourself with this."

Minato thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head. He said sincerely.

"We can't be too selfish. He sacrificed so much for Konoha, and now nobody knows what's wrong with his eyes."

Although Lady Tsunade has returned to the village and begun her research, some things will not yield results so quickly.

This operation is not Konoha's business, so let's not disturb him.

Upon hearing this, Kushina sighed softly, but nodded earnestly.

Indeed, they cannot be too selfish; the three of them, including Yuzhi, have already sacrificed so much for Konoha.

They should handle some things themselves; they can't keep asking the three of them, including Yuzhi, for everything.

"Tch, they're really fast."

Watching Obito disappear again, Haori couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

It's only natural that Obito could run fast; after all, that was the foundation of his existence in the ninja world.

It's just that after all the effort it takes to play a villain, it's a bit inappropriate to only have one arm left.

However, looking at the arm that Obito had left on the ground, Haori tilted her head and couldn't help but think to herself.

Obito, why don't you just become a one-armed swordsman from now on?

To avoid having an arm broken after just one meeting

"However, it's certain that he's really gone."

With a slight turn of his Sharingan, Yuki picked up his arm and carefully scanned his surroundings. He was fairly certain that Obito was no longer there.

After absorbing the talent, Yuzhi could now clearly perceive the spatial fluctuations of Kamui.

This means that he can immediately detect Obito as soon as he gets close; it's practically a radar!

"Moreover, although the equipment we have prepared for this operation is decent, we still need to refine it further."

When Hagoromo takes action, he will naturally make full preparations, and the Sharingan is naturally one of his key tools!

In the world of Naruto, colored contact lenses actually exist. In the original work, Kakashi used colored contact lenses to cover his Sharingan and tricked Naruto and Sasuke.

Yuzhi prepared quite a few colored contact lenses this time, naturally to cover up her kaleidoscope pattern.

Whether it works or not, he himself is not sure, because upon closer inspection, one can still detect some irregularities.

However, judging from the current situation, there doesn't seem to be a big problem for him; at least Obito doesn't seem to have noticed anything.

However, one must be careful with the haori; better safe than sorry.

"Go back and study it carefully."

As Yuzhi pondered this, he had already reached the location where the dragon vein was sealed.

During the previous battles, he had carefully examined the seal on the dragon vein and had basically determined how to unseal and reseal it.

"In fact, it is a combination of the Bagua seal and the Four Symbols seal. Once the seal is broken..."

Even a normal unlock would activate the Flying Thunder Gods around it, but that's not difficult, and...

With that thought in mind, his hand was already placed directly on the seal.

Peng Dong—

The moment the chakra of the haori spread and broke the seal, a feeling like a heartbeat suddenly rippled through the main space.

At that very moment, he also sensed a subtle fluctuation in the Flying Thunder God Mark.

However, Yuzhi didn't care. He could choose not to come when the Flying Thunder God fluctuated, especially at the fluctuation point outside the village, where he could choose not to take any action.

"untie!"

With one hand raised, the chakra in the haori quickly condensed. He ignored the outer seal and directly attacked the core seal.

In an instant, the core of the entire dragon vein seal began to dissipate.

Whew, whimper, whimper—

Just then, a sudden gale arose all around, flying rocks and extinguishing the flames, while the feeling of my heart pounding intensified.

Gazing at the dragon vein seal that was about to be broken, Yu Zhi's lips curled slightly. He immediately placed the sealing tools he had prepared beforehand aside.

There are many types of carriers for sealing. The most basic is a scroll, followed by items with better effects, and the best choice is naturally a person or something more suitable for sealing.

For example, the Susanoo of the Uchiha clan!

Yuzhi had considered sealing the dragon vein into Susanoo, but for now, he decided to store it in a sealed jar and deal with these issues slowly when he returned.

"Alright, let's begin!"

Haori took a deep breath, and his chakra began to vibrate.

In an instant, the howling wind grew stronger and stronger, and the earth began to tremble.

Amid the tremors, cracks appeared in the brick and stone floor, and these cracks spread rapidly in all directions.

Roar--

Just then, a roar like that of a wild beast erupted, and a massive amount of chakra surged out from the seal in an instant!

This chakra shattered the tower and transformed into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky, seemingly illuminating the entire night. At that moment, Yuki clasped her hands together in prayer.

"The Four Symbols Seal!"

Roar--

The dragon vein chakra was still roaring, but its roar abruptly stopped with the movement of the haori.

The next moment, it roared and seemed to be pulled as it rushed wildly into Yuzhi's ceramic jar!

"It's really surging; if we're not careful, this guy might get away."

Yu Zhi muttered to himself, but now he could stop worrying about the dragon veins. All he had to do was wait for them to be completely sealed.

He only unlocked the core seal, but he didn't touch the Bagua seal that trapped the dragon vein in place.

These seals can help him; he won't mess around with them.

Roar--

With another roar, the Dragon Vein Chakra seemed to know that it was about to be sealed again after just escaping, and it immediately began to struggle frantically.

Its struggles caused the tower to sway precariously, and countless pebbles began to fall continuously.

boom--

Suddenly, amidst its frantic struggle, the Flying Thunder God Kunai, which served as the core of the dragon vein seal, was instantly thrown away.

The kunai ripped through the sky and passed right in front of Hagoromo, and he only subconsciously turned his head to the side.

"Um?"

But at that moment, his expression suddenly changed, because he clearly felt the spatial fluctuations reappear.

The source of this spatial fluctuation is the Flying Thunder God!

"Rasengan!"

In an instant, a light appeared behind Yuri, accompanied by a surge of chakra and a blond figure.

boom--

The Rasengan touched the ground, causing the earth to tremble and thick smoke to appear.

But soon, as the smoke dissipated, the entire tower was empty.

Only the roaring dragon vein chakra was continuously absorbed into the sealing pottery jar in the haori!

On an open space above Loulan City, Yu Zhi and Minato appeared simultaneously, looking at each other from afar.

"I didn't expect it to be you, but thinking about it, it makes sense. Someone like you is definitely someone who can use Dragon Vein Chakra."

Minato stared coldly at Yuori, his words sounding icy, and a murderous intent completely enveloped her.

This scene left Yuzhi speechless; it was clear that Obito, that idiot, had thoroughly enraged Minato.

"Are you alone? Where's Uchiha Haori?"

Although she felt a little embarrassed, Yuri still asked a question in a pretentious manner.

"I don't need Yuki to deal with you."

Minato instantly pulled out several kunai. He stared intently at the enemy before him, quickly thinking about how to deal with him.

He knew, of course, that his immediate priority was to return to the sealed land and quickly resolve the issue of the dragon vein chakra.

The problem now is that if he doesn't deal with this guy in front of him, he won't be able to seal the dragon vein at all!

This situation is exactly the same as what I faced with Kushina and the Nine-Tails half a year ago.

This is precisely why Minato is so angry, especially since the person who caused all of this is the same person!

"Quickly end the battle, then seal the dragon vein."

Minato quickly made a decision in his mind, and in the next second, several kunai flew out suddenly. He then flashed and rushed directly in front of Hagoromo.

Seeing the scattered kunai, Hagoromo neither dodged nor flinched, but rushed out as well, his black staff heading straight for Minato.

However, he was not Obito. As he attacked, his Sharingan quickly swept in all directions.

Almost instantly, he determined the location and landing point of all the kunai, and at that moment, he and Minato were already intertwined.

hum-

Minato's kunai ripped through the air and pierced through Haori's body, but he didn't care.

He had already witnessed this last year, and in his memory, this guy's physical skills were rather poor.

Both his reaction speed and attack speed were ridiculously slow. If it weren't for this spatial technique protecting him, Minato could have finished him off much faster.

"They've made a move, is it for real or just a ruse?"

Just as his body passed through him, Minato saw the guy in front of him suddenly attack, and he hesitated for a moment.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, Minato has already made up his mind: he must seize every opportunity!

Sa—

His figure vanished suddenly, and almost instantly he appeared above and to the right of the haori with the Flying Thunder God Technique!

The halo of the Flying Thunder God descended rapidly and struck Yuki's body hard.

"Why"

To his disappointment, he watched helplessly as the Rasengan passed right through him, realizing that his attack had missed.

However, he was not discouraged. He had anticipated this, but it happened just as he was about to leave.

The guy suddenly turned around and grabbed his wrist with his left hand!

"this?!"

Minato's pupils dilated instantly as he stared incredulously at his wrist being grabbed and the Rasengan that hadn't yet entered the guy's body.

At that moment, Minato's expression changed!

Sa—

In an instant, Minato's figure disappeared, and reappeared behind Hagoromo.

But Yuzhi turned around and clung to him like a maggot, thrusting his black staff toward Minato.

Ding--

Minato reacted swiftly, using his kunai to block the black stick, but just as he was about to leave, Haori suddenly spoke up.

"You seem surprised. Kamui doesn't just affect the whole body; any part that isn't involved in the attack can be hidden in space."

"you"

Minato looked somewhat puzzled; he hadn't expected anyone to introduce themselves.

Are you surprised I would say that?

His face, hidden behind the haori mask, was full of smiles. He suddenly used force to knock away Minato's kunai, and then pounced on him.

Minato followed closely at that moment, and the two clashed instantly, leaving behind more than a dozen afterimages!

It was supposed to be a one-on-one duel, but it was as fast as a free-for-all involving more than a dozen people.

"Even if I told you, what then? Do you have a way to crack it?"

While fighting rapidly, Yuki smiled at Minato, whose expression was now somewhat solemn.

How come this guy's physical skills and reaction speed have suddenly improved so much?

Not only that, this guy has taken his mastery of spatial magic to a whole new level!

No, this is how the so-called "divine power" spatial technique should be.

"What exactly is going on?"

The guy in front of me seemed to be strolling leisurely, yet he was moving at an appalling speed.

He can neutralize any attack, and no matter how he tries to dodge, he will be caught up by him. At this moment, Minato is having a real headache.

"Shall we try using magic?"

Minato has always had his own trump card abilities, and Sage Mode is naturally one of them.

However, he didn't have enough chakra to handle the fusion and consumption required for Sage Mode, which is why he didn't use Sage Mode as a regular fighting method.

But now he needs to make a decision, otherwise...

boom--

Suddenly, a muffled sound resounded throughout the entire Loulan sky, and the pillar of chakra light that pierced the sky dimmed at that moment.

It slowly faded away and gradually disappeared into the tower.

The violent aura dissipated further at this moment, as if reminding everyone that everything was coming to an end!

"Oh no!"

Minato no longer hesitated. He gritted his teeth and began to prepare, but Haori seemed to realize something and suddenly distanced herself and formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

The enormous fire dragon roared as it rushed toward the water gate, its scorching heat seemingly igniting everything around it!

Minato was naturally unaffected by such a technique. He activated Flying Thunder God Technique and instantly disappeared from his spot.

But in that instant, the haori appeared in front of him.

"It's time to stop, Fourth Hokage. And don't even think about stopping what I'm about to do."

With a smile on his face, he mimicked Obito's cold voice.

"Don't even think about it, I won't let you succeed!"

Minato snorted coldly, and just then the raging fire dragon crashed into the ground, the surging flames instantly engulfing the surroundings.

In the reflection of the flames, Yuzhi calmly shook her head.

"Guess what? With all the commotion I caused, did Sunagakure notice anything? What if they found out the Fourth Hokage was here?"

Minato's expression suddenly turned grim. The Hokage had appeared in the Kazekage's territory without giving any warning. This was definitely a diplomatic crisis!

"Besides, Fourth Hokage, what do you think of the following?"

At this moment, Minato's fist was clenched completely.

The residents of Loulan had already noticed the commotion and naturally came out of their homes.

Even though Loulan is in ruins and no longer has its former glory, it still has a considerable population.

"Tell me, what would happen if I aimed my Fire Release technique at this spot?"

Yuzhi seemed to be addicted to playing the role of Obito, and he said in a low, hushed voice.

"Fourth Hokage, you don't want unnecessary casualties among those below because of your decision, do you?"

-

Outside Loulan, in a desert, a vortex suddenly appeared in space.

Obito emerged from the space looking disheveled. He appeared to have recovered, but his heart was now filled with rage!

"Who is it!?"

Obito roared loudly, looking at Black Zetsu who had also appeared beside him.

"Who is that?! What's going on?"

Obito was truly taught a lesson. He would never forget that guy's indifferent tone and attitude, which seemed to completely ignore him.

He could never forget that guy who used the same power as him, but completely and utterly crushed him.

The appearance of this guy was even more terrifying to him than Uchiha Hagoromo; for a moment, he even doubted whether he was an imposter.

Otherwise, why would there be someone just like me, yet someone who is superior to me in every way?

"Obito, perhaps."

Black Zetsu hesitated slightly, and after a moment's thought, he spoke softly.

"Perhaps, that person is you."

"What?!"

Obito turned around, both angry and astonished, looking at Black Zetsu with disbelief.

"He is me, so who am I?!"

"Let me finish. Do you remember I told you that the power of the dragon vein is too immense?"

Seeing Obito's murderous gaze, Black Zetsu immediately began to explain.

"The chakra of the dragon vein is too vast, and such violent chakra may cause some incredible accidents."

For example, it could traverse time and different worlds, allowing different people to appear in different times or worlds.

Black Zetsu is quite intelligent. After all, he was created by Kaguya Otsutsuki. Even if he lacks strength, his theoretical knowledge is very extensive.

Although I've never seen it before, such a thing is really possible, especially now that Obito has encountered such a scene, which has basically reinforced Black Zetsu's idea.

Otherwise, the current situation simply cannot be explained.

Even if the Uchiha clan once possessed the ability to transplant eye techniques, as far as he knew, this ability had long been lost.

And he doesn't remember anyone ever using a technique like Kamui before!

"Me in a different world, at a different time?"

Obito stared blankly at Black Zetsu. He didn't actually believe such nonsense at all, but at this moment, he felt that it made sense.

That ability was almost identical to his own, and he knew it inside and out, even developing it to an incredible degree.

So that person was me?

But soon, Obito's face turned pale. That guy was so strong, would he be replaced?

The thought of this made Obito's body tremble slightly.

"Yes, it should be you, but I'm afraid he's very different from you."

Black Zetsu glanced at Obito in front of him, and seeing Obito's expression, he knew what the guy was thinking.

To be honest, he really hoped that what Obito wanted would happen, but based on his memories and theoretical experience, he could only sigh.

"However, that guy probably won't stay in this world for long. If I'm not mistaken, he came here using the Dragon Vein Chakra."

"It probably won't be long before he returns to his own world, even if he takes the dragon vein from the current world."

Is that so?

Obito seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Although he couldn't be sure if what Black Zetsu said was true, it was at least good news.

It would be better if that guy couldn't stay in this world for long, because he's too scary.

However, Obito was also thinking about something at this moment: since that person was me, could I also have that kind of strength?

"Also, is that how Kamui is actually used?"

Recalling that guy's behavior, Obito felt a surge of hatred, but for some reason, he also felt a certain longing for him.

"Um?"

But just then, he suddenly frowned, as a kunai flew towards them—

"Damn bastard!"

In an oasis in the desert outside Loulan, Minato watched the dissipating chakra from afar, sensing the fading of the dragon vein chakra.

At that moment, he knew very well that he had lost this time!

As the Hokage, it was taboo for him to appear in other major countries, and for the sake of his ninja way, he was unwilling to involve innocent people.

But that damned guy managed to seize upon both of these points and exploit them successfully.

This forced him to stop, because he knew that the wicked man was absolutely capable of doing some terrible things!

After watching the guy leave with the things, Minato then decided to leave Loulan.

However, he did not go back immediately. Instead, he waited outside Loulan for a while and only decided to leave after confirming that nothing else had happened.

"However, this time, this guy seems different from before and after."

Minato quickly walked forward; he needed some time to calm down, so he didn't go straight back to Konoha.

What happened tonight greatly affected him and put a lot of pressure on him.

Without Yuzhi's assistance, he suffered such a crushing defeat when facing that guy alone, which made him doubt one thing.

What would have happened to me and Kushina if Haori hadn't been there that night when Kurama was afflicted?

Even if that damned guy didn't have that much strength back then, he was still quite troublesome!

"And what's wrong with that guy? Aside from his strength, he seems completely different from before?"

As he walked, Minato thought to himself, but he quickly shook his head.

That's not something he needs to consider; he just needs to confirm that this is an enemy, and there's one more thing he needs to clarify.

That means this guy has obtained the dragon vein, and everything will become even more terrifying!

"Ah, thank goodness Konoha has Hagoromo and the others."

Thinking of this, Minato couldn't help but sigh. He decided that he had to get Tsunade to step up her game.

"Um?"

As he was thinking, he stopped in his tracks, because he suddenly sensed a subtle spatial fluctuation.

The fluctuation wasn't strong, but the familiar feeling wouldn't be easily forgotten.

"Not far from here, is that guy?"

Minato's gaze sharpened, and after a moment's thought, he quickly headed towards the direction of the fluctuations.

The battle just now left Minato feeling extremely frustrated, but this wasn't Loulan anymore!

Minato was moving extremely fast, and soon he saw two figures appear in the distance, aided by the moonlight.

By the moonlight, he could clearly see that it was that damned guy!

call out--

The kunai shot out at an extremely fast speed towards the location of that guy.

The moment the kunai hit the ground, Minato's figure appeared in front of that guy!

He slightly raised his head, his eyes already blazing with killing intent. He coldly looked at the two people in front of him and said in a chilling voice:

"Come on, let's continue our fight. This time, let's see where you can run!"

Obito and Black Zetsu: "."

-

"You're too late."

Outside Sunagakure, Konan looked at the figure of Hagoromo that had suddenly appeared and said in a cold voice.

Scorpion, however, showed little emotional change, instead curiously observing the distorted space.

"I encountered a few minor problems, but everything has been resolved."

Yuri shrugged nonchalantly, a joyful smile still lingering on his face beneath the mask.

Obito has already taken the blame big time, and his mission is complete. Now there's only one last thing left.

"Let's go, let's set off and get this problem solved as soon as possible, it's getting late."

As she spoke, Yuzhi looked up at the moonlight in the sky.

It's really late now. Who knows what will happen if I go back any later?
