Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 173 Does the light of a firefly dare to rival the brilliance of the moon? (10,000-word chapter)

Inside the underground palace of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind.

Led by Scorpion, they had silently bypassed numerous defenses and arrived at the entrance to the underground vault.

The One-Tailed Fury that erupted within Gaara certainly saved them a lot of trouble.

Actually, Yuzhi was also thinking about a question—if they let their current setup run wild...

Can Sunagakure stop them?

He glanced at Sasori and Orochimaru walking at the front, then at Yahiko and Konan walking silently in the middle.

One last look at the light, and Yuzhi felt that no one could stop her from going anywhere.

"But having a team-building activity with the Akatsuki is quite novel."

The thought that she, the Fifth Hokage, was secretly acting with the Akatsuki made Yuzhi feel both amused and exasperated.

However, he controlled his emotions very well. After all, he had impersonated Madara Uchiha so many times, so this situation was nothing to him.

"you"

While they were pondering, they had already entered the secret vault. A Sand Village ninja discovered them, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a short sword pierced his chest.

This brought his shouts to an abrupt halt before they could even spread.

Drawing his short sword, Scorpion calmly said, "We're almost in the core area now. Although it's been a while since I've been here, the situation inside will be even more troublesome."

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, and asked curiously, "Oh, what could it be, a trap or an even stronger ninja?"

"Yes, all of them," Scorpion said calmly. "The next part is a very long passage, where you'll encounter mostly ANBU members. Meeting them in a place like that is quite..."

"Is the destination just beyond the passage?" Before Scorpion could finish speaking, Haori suddenly interrupted him.

"Yes." Sasori's expression remained somewhat respectful upon seeing that it was Yuri: "The secret vault is beyond the passage. The person who remains in the passage can seal the secret vault."

The passage exists to serve as a buffer, and it is filled with various traps and hidden weapons. Once you enter it, you will be caught in endless trouble.

Those secret agents can naturally block the passage, thus trapping the enemy here, without worrying about affecting the real vault.

However, Yuzhi remained remarkably calm after hearing all this. If he knew the way, he wouldn't have needed to walk at all; he could have simply used Kamui to send him in.

Even so, dealing with such a defense was not difficult for him, and he took the lead and walked forward.

"Leave the rest to me; it won't take long."

As Haori walked straight ahead, Sasori simply tilted his head, and Konan and Nagato didn't say anything more.

They had all witnessed Yuki's prowess before, so they remained remarkably calm. Orochimaru, however, couldn't help but lick his lips, genuinely curious about how this "real deal" would perform.

But the next moment, he froze slightly.

"who!?"

"stop!"

Upon seeing the haori suddenly emerge, the guards stationed there instantly formed a front-to-back formation and became alert.

Seeing that Yuzhi remained silent, the leading guard said menacingly, "Who are you, and why are you here? You'd better answer honestly, or else..."

"Otherwise what?"

Yuri raised the corner of her mouth, and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in her eye sockets began to slowly rotate.

In an instant, space began to distort violently, and everything seemed incredibly unreal.

"I never expected Kamui to be enhanced so much."

Yuri muttered to himself that he couldn't use the "Origin of Chakra" power, but the power of "Indra" was penetrating deep into his chakra.

Even if he doesn't want it, these forces will still seep into his attacks.

Staring at the suddenly distorted space, the guards stationed here were momentarily stunned.

Before they could even react, these distorted spaces formed peculiar vortexes that appeared on their bodies, instantly twisting them into blurry clumps of flesh and blood!

After dealing with the guards at the entrance, Yuzhi's gaze fell upon the secret vault in front of her.

Looking at the sealing spell light flashing on the door of the secret vault, Yuzhi gently shook her head.

Not to mention that he was originally skilled in sealing techniques, the sealing techniques of Sunagakure are really not that great now.

Therefore, even though he could use Kamui to travel directly through time, he still wanted to give it a try.

"The benefits of Indra's power are immense, especially regarding my Bloodline Elimination, so..."

Thinking this, Yuzhi suddenly formed hand seals, and in an instant, terrifying chakra suddenly erupted.

"This is."

This unusual chakra immediately made Orochimaru's eyes widen. Not only him, but Nagato, Konan, and Sasori also showed expressions of astonishment.

They had sensed this powerful and concentrated chakra before from Onoki, which meant...

"Bloodstained elimination?!"

Amidst the astonishment of the crowd and a deafening roar, the black and white flames transformed into a giant dragon, fiercely hurtling towards the gate.

In the blink of an eye, the distinct black and white flames illuminated the originally dark underground palace storage room, making it bright and clear!

The traps hidden within were instantly dissolved, and the floor reinforced by the sealing spell also began to crumble.

The poisonous gas hidden inside the passage slowly turned green and blue under the scorching flames, but in the next moment it could not withstand such heat and melted into the air.

Under the swirling black and white heatwave, everything in the passageway was instantly emptied, even the sturdy door turned into molten iron, flowing all over the ground.

Yuzhi calmly watched everything unfold before her. The raging flames posed no threat to her whatsoever; the terrifying flames around her resembled obedient flowers.

"Alright, we can continue now. I think there shouldn't be any more trouble."

After doing all this, Yuzhi glanced around before turning to look at the group of people with different expressions.

"There probably aren't any left."

Sasori nodded somewhat blankly, while Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his tongue again.

Are bloodstains eliminated?

Spatial magic combined with bloodstained elimination—that's something not everyone can do!

Nagato and Konan also looked somewhat somber, clearly realizing that this guy had never really fought seriously before.

They had witnessed the power of Dust Release before, and they could foresee just how terrifying the power of such a fire-attribute bloodline elimination combined with space-time techniques would be!

He blinked and thought to himself that he had fallen behind again, but now that he had witnessed the power of this so-called bloodline elimination, it didn't seem so bad.

"Now that there are no problems, let's get moving."

Yuzhi nodded before speaking.

"Let's catch what we want, then go out and deal with that One-Tailed Beast. Don't forget we also need to take that guy with us."

-

"Is this the truth behind the Nine-Tails incident?"

While Haori and the others were operating in the secret vault, Obito was controlling the One-Tailed Beast, unleashing a frenzied rampage.

Unlike Hagoromo, who was "kind-hearted," Obito directly controlled the tailed beasts, driving them mad and causing them to wreak havoc.

All of this caused Itachi Uchiha to clench his fists, as these scenes involuntarily reminded him of that night with the Nine-Tails.

This fueled his resentment and murderous intent, but he was still able to control his emotions.

He remained hidden for so many years by Danzo's side, which shows that he was quite good at concealing himself.

Ryoma Aburame, on the other hand, remained remarkably calm; he knew far more than Itachi Uchiha.

Besides, whatever problems Konoha had were not his concern; Danzo was his only sunshine!

"Hmm? That's strange."

Obito, who was controlling the One-Tailed Beast, seemed a little puzzled at this moment, because he found that something was wrong with the One-Tailed Beast.

The One-Tailed Beast has a Jinchūriki, and according to the information he knows, the Jinchūriki is the son of the Fourth Kazekage, just a kid.

The problem is that he didn't notice the brat's whereabouts while he was controlling the one-tailed beast to wreak havoc.

What puzzled him even more was that he discovered that this One-Tailed Beast seemed to have traces of the 'Uchiha eye technique' on its body.

"What exactly is going on?"

Obito frowned slightly, and Black Zetsu noticed his expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Something seems off; this One-Tailed Beast appears to have been controlled."

Obito hesitated for a moment, but finally gave an answer that surprised even Black Zetsu.

However, in an instant, Black Zetsu's expression changed drastically!

"Let's get out of here quickly, and stop worrying about the One-Tailed Beast's chakra!"

"Could it be..."

Obito finally realized what was happening, and his face instantly turned dark.

However, before he could do anything, he suddenly felt a special chakra constantly surging within him.

Turning my head quickly, I saw that the space had formed a strange spiral, and a black and white flame transformed into a giant dragon, rushing straight towards me along with the twisted spiral space!

"Is this... Kamui?"

Obito no longer paid attention to the terrifying flames; just by seeing the distorted space, he knew who he had encountered!

When he looked up and saw the figures appearing in the distance, he suddenly felt his breathing quicken.

Because he saw "himself" standing with the Akatsuki members.

"Has it gotten this out of control?"

While dealing with the rampaging One-Tailed Beast, the Fourth Kazekage looked around at the destroyed world and couldn't help but speak up in anger.

"Gaara is such a waste, he's such a disappointment!"

Chiyo, who was traveling with him, sighed upon hearing this.

With Gaara's rampage and the appearance of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, it was clear that this test had failed completely.

The challenges facing Sunagakure now include killing Gaara as soon as possible, recaptured and sealed Shukaku the One-Tailed Beast a few years later, and guarding against the spying of other villages.

Every time Gaara goes berserk, it causes huge losses of people and property to the village, making the already weakened Sunagakure even more unsustainable, and tonight will probably be no exception.

Even though she felt helpless about this outcome, whether it was the situation in Sunagakure or Gaara's fate, there was nothing she could do about it.

For the sake of the village, they had to make some sacrifices!

"Let's act quickly, we still need to keep the news under wraps."

Ebizo also seemed quite helpless. He slowly opened his mouth and said, but as soon as he finished speaking, everyone involuntarily widened their eyes.

At that moment, a strange spiral appeared in space, and a black and white flame transformed into a giant dragon, rushing straight towards the twisted spiral of space!

roar.

As the eerie flames struck the One-Tailed Beast, it let out a fierce roar from not far away!

The raging flames and the eerie space intertwined, completely sealing off all of Yiwei's movements.

The body space of the One-Tailed Beast is being strangled and eroded by the raging flames, causing it to continuously collapse!

A mournful cry echoed through the sky as the tail began to struggle frantically, destroying everything around it.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free. Under the dual attack of space and fire, Shukaku's enormous body began to collapse completely.

The wailing gradually stopped, and the enormous, mountain-like One-Tailed Beast turned into quicksand and disappeared from the sight of the Sand Village members!

"What happened?"

Everyone in Sunagakure, including the Fourth Kazekage, was extremely surprised.

The scene before them was beyond their imagination; they simply couldn't understand what was happening!

The attack just now was beyond their imagination. Not to mention the spatial magic power that they couldn't understand at all, the flames alone were enough to make them tremble with fear.

This kind of flame is definitely not something they can easily touch; they can clearly feel the aura of death emanating from it even from a distance!

"Oh no, could these people be...?"

Suddenly, Chiyo seemed to realize something. She immediately rushed out into the distance while speaking cryptically to Rasa and the others.

"The One-Tailed Beast has been defeated, and Gaara is likely freed. Whoever attacked it couldn't have had any good intentions."

"Oh no, it's Gaara!"

Luo Sha reacted instantly, and without saying a word, he rushed out as well. The change in the situation was truly unexpected.

But now that he has guessed what the other party is thinking, he must make the necessary statement!

Even though he could foresee just how difficult the other party would be to deal with, he still had to do something.

The Sand Village absolutely cannot lose the One-Tailed Beast. They would rather kill Gaara and wait for the One-Tailed Beast to revive than let someone else take Gaara away!

They could still find a way to recover the former, but the latter would inevitably lead to the complete decline of Sunagakure.

Before long, Chiyo and Rasa, who were the fastest, arrived at the scene of the incident, but the scene in front of them was quite shocking.

Gaara was lying quietly on the ground, breathing evenly, and looked as if he was just asleep.

Nearby, a group of people were discussing something. Except for two people, the rest of them were wearing long robes with black backgrounds and red clouds.

They looked calm and collected, not at all like they had just fought a tailed beast.

"Orochimaru."

Chiyo's eyes flickered slightly, and in an instant, she released countless puppets, while Rasa also summoned endless sand and stones at that moment.

Because of the lighting, they couldn't see very clearly, but Orochimaru and the others were definitely not mistaken!

However, these people seemed oblivious to this, and one of the masked individuals even looked at someone standing behind them and asked a question.

"Would you be interested in saying hello to them?"

"Let's go, we have more important things to do."

The masked person nodded slightly, and in the next instant, endless flames spread wildly once again.

In an instant, all the puppets were ignited, and the iron sand was simultaneously annihilated and devoured by the flames.

At the same time, these people vanished without a trace.

"Damn it, they're gone."

Chiyo and Rasa looked extremely grim as they watched the people vanish without a trace.

With the disappearance of these people, both of them realized the seriousness of the situation, because it almost meant that Sunagakure might lose its tailed beasts!

For a moment, they both fell into an unusual silence.

Such a terrible thing is something none of them want to face!

"Who are those people? Is there any conclusion yet?"

After a long while, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, asked in a low voice, "I must thank the person who made the move earlier for creating such a huge mess."

Otherwise, the Sand Village personnel would arrive by then, and they wouldn't have time to make any amends!

"I don't know, but we can consult Konoha. Even though Orochimaru defected, he was once a member of Konoha, so they should have information about him."

Although Chiyo's face was extremely pale, she knew what she had to do.

Especially some things, which she has to say herself.

She gave Luo Sha a deep look, sighed softly, and then continued speaking.

"But that's all in the future. Right now, we need to deal with the One-Tailed Beast. Let's announce to the village that we've already defeated Gaara."

"Um"

Luo Sha nodded. There were some things that he, as the Shadow, absolutely could not take the blame for. Even if it was just the two of them talking, someone else had to speak up first.

After all, the ninja world has techniques for probing memories. Even if they wouldn't use them on people easily, they still need to be on guard when necessary.

"Since Elder Chiyo has suggested it, let's do it that way. At the same time, I will have the Anbu search for the One-Tailed Beast's chakra at any time."

However, the real one-tailed ...

"Ebizo and I will be responsible for forming a new team to gather intelligence on those people and try to reclaim the One-Tail."

Chiyo was very perceptive and knew exactly what she should say, which greatly pleased Rasa.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Although Rasa was in a bad mood, after all, the test he conducted not only killed Yashamaru, but also caused Gaara to go completely berserk and cause huge destruction.

Now he's completely disappeared, which is entirely his responsibility. But with Chiyo taking the blame, many things will change.

Chiyo naturally noticed some changes in Rasa's expression, but she shook her head and didn't want to say anything more.

She was getting old, and she didn't care about many things anymore. Besides, there was another important reason why she made this decision.

"Was that person Scorpion?"

-

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

While Losa and Chiyo were filled with worry, Obito on the other side was already on the verge of breaking down.

In his view, Uchiha Haori had taken everything from him in Konoha, especially after Haori became Hokage, fulfilling his dream he once had in Konoha.

And after he was driven away by Kirigakure and lost control of the Mizukage, this feeling grew stronger and stronger.

In his view, all that's left for him is to control the Akatsuki organization so that he can take revenge on the entire world!

But now, it seems that the Akatsuki organization he was trying to control has been "stolen" again?

Moreover, right in front of him, he led the Akatsuki members to Sunagakure and even attacked the One-Tailed Beast.

For a moment, Obito was somewhat confused.

It felt like watching Yuri lead Rin into the room, while you could only stand outside and wait.

Isn't this like taking away what's most important to you right in front of your face?

"Calm down, Obito, that person is you!"

Black Zetsu sensed that things were going badly, and he immediately grabbed Obito's hand to persuade him, though he himself was also feeling uneasy.

What the hell is going on? Could it be that that guy wants to do something with Nagato and the others?

Or perhaps, she's taken a liking to the Rinnegan?

If it's the former, Black Zetsu thinks it's alright, he can just bear with it, after all, these people from other worlds are really hard to deal with.

But if it's the latter, then the situation is dangerous, because the Rinnegan is the key to his rescue of his mother!

Black is definitely not Obito, the person whose mind is full of inexplicable ideas. You could even say that Obito did so many things for himself.

Hei Zetsu has only one goal: to rescue his mother, nothing more!

He absolutely cannot tolerate anyone or anything that might undermine his goals.

But recalling how Obito faced this guy three years ago, he found it hard to speak. This guy lost so thoroughly!

Thinking about this, Black Zetsu couldn't calm down anymore. After thinking seriously for a moment, he finally spoke.

"Catch up, but don't reveal too much of yourself for now."

"What do you mean? Shouldn't we expose them and let them know they're dealing with a counterfeit?"

Obito's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He was being replaced and forced to do things he had no idea about, which was truly unbearable for him.

And now Black Zetsu is actually telling him not to expose himself. What the hell does that mean? Does he want him to keep enduring it?

"We should figure out what that guy's purpose is first, and then make some plans."

Black Zetsu was also in pain, but he still needed to restrain himself and remain calm.

"If it's just a simple impersonation, that's fine. Figure out what he's up to. If we have the same goal, he might become an ally."

Offending such a counterfeit would not be a wise move, and I also need to test Nagato and the others.

Let's see if they know that you are not the same person at all, so that we can make a more informed judgment.

The Rinnegan must never fall into the hands of anyone else!

Upon hearing this explanation, even though Obito hated it, he had to calm down, after all, the painful memories from three years ago were still echoing in his heart.

In the ninja world, sometimes the size of one's fist can determine many things.

Obito couldn't win, which meant that he had to endure things sometimes.

"I understand, we'll figure something out."

Obito took a deep breath and spoke, but the thought of the other party coming over from time to time to "take and use his things" made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

However, when he thought about how Lin had now become Yuzhi's shadow guard and had to go to Yuzhi's house on her shift, he suddenly felt that none of this mattered anymore.

Of course, he also needed to constantly reassure himself.

"That's all fake. That's just a false Lin. The real Lin from my world was never created. Everything about her is fake."

Black Zetsu watched as Obito muttered something, but couldn't make out what he was saying. After a moment's thought, he spoke.

"Then, I'll take Itachi Uchiha and Ryoma Aburame and leave first, then I'll go find Nagato. You find a chance to distract that guy?"

"Um"

Although Obito still looked a little dazed, he simply nodded.

The next moment, his figure moved slightly and he was already gone from where he stood. He had only one thought in his mind.

Even though he might not be able to win, he still had to give it a try!

He really couldn't stand it when others took everything that belonged to him without permission.

"Let's part ways here for now. I think I need to see someone else."

In the desert, space suddenly distorted, and in the next instant, Yuki appeared in the desert with Hikaru and the Akatsuki members.

He glanced behind him, then smiled and spoke, but his gaze also fell on Gaara.

Gaara was brought out by him, and it's hard to say what his future holds, but at least keeping an eye on him will be much better than staying in Sunagakure.

Besides, he also obtained the One-Tailed Beast's chakra, which is a pretty good result.

"You want to meet someone, in a place like this?"

Although Nagato was not in the Kamui dimension at the time, he still managed to keep up, so Yahiko's body did not lose control.

"That scroll"

"I've written it down, you can just take it."

Yuzhi spoke directly, but after thinking for a moment, he spoke again.

"But here's a piece of advice: don't do anything for the time being, because some people might be very unhappy about it."

"The person you need to see is him."

Xiao Nan suddenly understood, and she finally realized one thing.

The guy in front of me is probably completely on a different path from that idiot. So who exactly is this person?

"Yes, it's him. He has some personal matters to attend to, but it's nothing serious."

Yuri nodded indifferently, but he also felt a little annoyed. How could he run into Obito in such a run-down place?

Moreover, he stumbled upon him leading the Akatsuki organization in action. Even though Hagoromo felt a bit excited, trouble was also present.

He needs to find a way to resolve this problem now, otherwise there will be even more trouble in the future.

"So, what exactly is your relationship?"

Nagato couldn't help but speak up at this moment. This question had been troubling him for a long time, and even Orochimaru and Sasori were looking at the haori intently.

"Simply put, what he and I are pursuing are not the same."

Yuri shrugged and smiled indifferently.

"And my relationship with him is not good, though you will know some things later."

Also, he doesn't want me to have too much contact with you guys, after all, he knows I look down on him.

There are some things that need not be said by Yuzhi; you will know as you get to know them through gradual interaction.

As for the use of the Akatsuki, Hagoromo had already figured out a way to deal with it. How could he possibly give up on such a scapegoat?

And Obito?

Besides being incredibly difficult to kill, this guy is now naturally a scapegoat. Since it's hard to kill you, let's make you take the blame completely.

Otherwise, wouldn't the haori be just a waste of Obito's time?

"Why don't you think about these things yourselves and compare them carefully, then you'll understand?"

Around the haori and the light, the distorted space reappeared.

"After all, many things can only be known through comparison, and you, who were once not even candidates, are now the managers of a country or a village."

I believe you wouldn't be that naive, and you wouldn't easily trust anyone, so wouldn't some problems be easily solved after some thought?

Hagoromo's words silenced Nagato and the others. Even though Orochimaru wasn't very familiar with the person in front of him, he had to admit one thing.

This guy seems to be completely different from that idiot we met before.

Putting everything else aside, that resurrection spell alone is not something that ordinary people can just give to others!

Watching the figure suddenly disappear before their eyes, Nagato and the others fell silent. For a moment, no one spoke; they were all pondering something.

Boom, boom, boom—

Just then, a continuous rumbling sound came from afar, slightly interrupting their thoughts.

However, before they could make any move, a figure completely black suddenly emerged from the ground.

What are you all doing here?

Black Zetsu glanced at everyone present and asked in a deliberately puzzled tone.

"Wasn't it that idiot who called himself Uchiha Madara who told us he was going to attack the One-Tailed Beast?"

Xiao Nan's expression turned cold again at this moment. She looked at Hei Jue indifferently and asked directly.

"He said he had to go take care of some loose ends, and then he left us here. Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"One tail."

Black Zetsu was somewhat bewildered by Konan's actions, but when he saw Gaara sleeping on a puppet controlled by Sasori, his eyes instantly became fascinating.

Is this guy here to capture a Jinchūriki?

"What a waste. He has such powerful abilities, yet he caused such a commotion."

Nagato spoke up at that moment, his tone equally cold.

"Besides, what's the point of capturing one now? If we're exposed, it'll only make things more complicated!"

"This is really troublesome. What on earth are you guys doing?"

Orochimaru licked his lips with his forked tongue, and at that moment he made his decision, and Sasori nodded in agreement.

"You disrupted our experiment just to catch this guy, and caused such a commotion. Don't you owe us an explanation?"

The four people in front of them were a dead man, a puppet, a man with no expression to begin with, and another whose thoughts were impossible to discern from anyone else.

The four of them asked the question at the same time, leaving even Black Zetsu bewildered.

Was this really just brought out to capture Jinchūriki?

Could it be that those people are really capturing the Tailed Beasts?

Black Zetsu was a little confused, but at least the current outcome was relatively good.

In the desert, Obito, who was moving quickly forward, suddenly felt a surge of chakra guiding him.

This power, imbued with the chakra of the dragon vein, instantly made him realize something, causing him to immediately change direction and head directly towards the source of the chakra.

hum-

Just as he traversed the space, a black stick suddenly attacked him. However, the black stick merely pierced through his body, as if it were an illusion, and did not cause him any harm.

"So it was you, you little scoundrel, who's been following me all along."

Yui looked at Obito with a leisurely air, a mocking expression creeping onto her face.

"You're really annoying. I ran into you last time I came here, and now I've run into you again."

Although I'm not entirely sure how much time has passed, it seems to me that you haven't made any progress at all.

Obito did not respond to Yuri's words, but the content of her words made his heart flutter slightly.

According to this guy, the time between the last meeting and the current meeting was not long, and the time he traveled here is uncertain.

"Who exactly are you, and what do you want to do?"

Although he received a somewhat reassuring answer, Obito still couldn't hold back.

Even though he knew that the person in front of him might be himself from another world, he didn't think he would be so wicked!

"Since you have asked so sincerely, I will mercifully tell you."

Haori shrugged slightly, looking at Obito with amusement.

"My purpose in coming here is very simple: one is the tailed beast, and the other is the technique I need."

As for you, I don't have time to bother with you; after all, you're truly worthless to me.

Yuri deliberately revealed "a technique"—that he had robbed the Sand Village's secret vault. Black Zetsu would definitely find out about this if he investigated.

Nagato, on the other hand, would definitely keep all of this a secret and wouldn't make up any nonsense, which could be considered a deliberate attempt to mislead Obito.

Tailed beasts and a technique?

As expected, Obito quickly began to think upon hearing this. He could understand the Tailed Beasts, but what kind of technique was it?

Where is that technique? What kind of technique could attract someone from another world to make such a fuss, even bringing out the entire Akatsuki organization?

However, Yuzhi overestimated Obito. These questions only flashed through his mind quickly, and he finally settled on the sentence, "You are worthless to me."

These words completely broke Obito's spirits. They were clearly the same person, just at different times, and perhaps even in different worlds, so why did you look down on him like that?

"You are just as worthless to me, you..."

Obito roared, but before he could finish speaking, Hagoromo spoke up from the other side.

"What am I? I have everything you have, and I also have things you don't have. To me, you're just a sewer rat, living in a daze and not knowing what you should do."

Having talent but constantly wasting it, having ability but constantly squandering it—I truly find it hard to imagine that another version of myself would be such a failure.

"you"

Upon hearing these words, Obito's fist hardened completely. With a roar of his chakra, countless trees rose from the sand. He glared at Yuki and roared angrily.

"Who do you think you are, you?"

"Who I am is unimportant. What matters is that you are not worthy to bear this name, because I am Uchiha Obito!"

As they spoke, countless trees suddenly sprang up from the ground and rushed madly toward Obito.

These trees summoned by the haori were much thicker than Obito's, and the branches of these terrifying trees quickly entangled and strangled everything Obito had.

Without any power to resist, Obito's trees were completely extinguished, without any chance of resistance whatsoever!

"Do you understand now? This is the difference between you and me. You are not worthy of being me, and you are not me."

Yuri stood proudly atop a giant tree, silver moonlight shimmering behind him, his scarlet eyes indifferently fixed on Obito below.

"Is this the power 'I' should possess?"

Obito had already become Hollowfied. Looking at the trees that were stacked together and being frantically strangled, he felt completely numb.

Why is the gap so large? Is such a gap really reasonable?

However, at this moment, Yuri gently shook his head, and his next words drove Obito completely insane.

"Alright, the game should end now. Lin is still waiting for me at home, and I can't keep her waiting any longer."

"Lin deserves to die, Lin!"

Obito roared in fury, this was definitely not what he wanted to hear.

In this world, Rin has already been taken away by Yuzhi, but in the other world, has Rin already come together with "herself"?

On what grounds?

Why should I?!

Why is it that only I in this world am so miserable?

Unfortunately, Yuzhi paid little attention to his thoughts, quickly forming hand seals before speaking softly.

"It's a waste of my time to talk nonsense with you. I'd better get rid of you and not embarrass my name."

"Why should I?! Do you really think you've got this in the bag?"

Obito roared as he glared at Haori, frantically unleashing his ocular power, causing space itself to distort in an instant.

However, Yuri calmly shook his head upon seeing this, and looked at Obito with disdain before suddenly asking with amusement.

"Do you know what Konoha is?"

The next moment, Yuki's chakra surged out, and the black and white flames transformed into a giant dragon.

"Fire Release: Explosive Wind Dance!"

The fiery dragon roared, and the power of the bloodstained elimination erupted completely at this moment.

With the help of spatial power, the surging flames rushed straight towards Otto, and in the instant they intersected with the tangled branches.

With a tremendous roar, the fire dragon instantly scattered into dangerous flames, and the sky seemed to rain down fire at that moment.

These flames ignited a large area of ​​trees, and in a short time, the forest below was turned into a sea of ​​fire!

The flames surged wildly toward Obito, piercing through Wood Release and space itself, heading straight for him.

"what!"

Obito had dodged quickly enough, but the power of these flames far exceeded his expectations. Similarly, with the assistance of the "Power of Indra", the strength of the haori's Kamui far surpassed that of Obito!
