Being a rogue ninja is worse than being Hokage.

As long as I have the Rinnegan, it doesn't matter even if the Akatsuki is destroyed.

The Eye of the Moon Project can still be implemented.

Although they lost Nagato, a rare guy who could withstand the power of a pair of Rinnegan eyes.

This makes the original plan to persuade Nagato to sacrifice his own life and use the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, which can only be performed by those with the Rinnegan and can bring the dead back to life, somewhat complicated.

However, after Madara Uchiha's death, Black Zetsu, who existed as "Madara's will" and supervised Obito in carrying out Madara's plans step by step, was also unexpectedly dealt with by Naruto Uzumaki—

For Obito, who has now regained his "freedom," the matter of reviving Madara Uchiha is no longer a "necessary" matter.

Obito plunged the black rod in his hand deeper into Konan's body, in case Konan still had any remaining strength to put up a final desperate resistance.

"Then... let's take advantage of your dying moments to begin gathering information on the whereabouts of the Rinnegan."

The previous explosive tags destroyed the right half of Obito's body, which had been reshaped by Hashirama's cells, causing Obito's Sharingan to recover much more slowly now.

However, it was enough to gather enough power in her eyes before Konan died, and to cast the illusion that even the Nine-Tails couldn't resist on her.

But Obito suddenly felt a wave of dizziness at that moment!

A sudden, prickly pain, like being pricked by needles, inexplicably shot through his optic nerve, which connects his eyes to his brain.

—Then, Obito suddenly felt that his left eye, which had been blinded by using Izanagi, had regained its sight!

The information transmitted to Obito's brain from his restored left eye was so...strange...

But this strange feeling was not unfamiliar to Obito.

Sharingan Resonance!

In the past, on the day Rin died, he "witnessed" Rin's death through the left eye he had given to Kakashi.

This time, with the long-awaited Sharingan visual resonance, Obito "witnessed" his own face.

What Obito saw through his left eye was his own disheveled state after his battle with Konan.

What his right eye saw was a shining Rasengan!

"Minato... teacher?"

The faint yellow strands of hair that appeared and disappeared within the shimmering Rasengan caused Obito to experience a double vision of his past memories.

But the lapse in memory lasts only a moment.

In that instant, with some of his eye power restored, Obito dispelled the daze in his heart.

A man feared by the enemy and trusted by his comrades, known as the "Yellow Flash";

By Uchiha Obito—the man he personally killed—

—He died sixteen years ago.

Suddenly appearing in Obito's line of sight, the Rasengan was inches away from his body...

...missed.

The right eye of the Mangekyou Sharingan, named "Kamui," can intangibly dissolve Obito himself.

"Naruto Uzumaki".

Obito was incredulous at Naruto's appearance, watching as Naruto's arm, which had unleashed a Rasengan, pierced through his chest.

But then, it suddenly felt like a matter of course.

In this ninja world, there aren't many ninjas with the strength to kill Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan and controls the Six Paths.

Naruto Uzumaki is undoubtedly one of the strongest among these few ninjas.

However, Obito still had doubts. Logically speaking, Naruto Uzumaki shouldn't have been able to grasp Nagato's movements so quickly.

Moreover, it hasn't been long since Sasuke and Itachi's duel, and he disappeared from the ninja world with Sasuke. He should be trying to save Sasuke's life, who is on the verge of death.

Yet he thought so differently, willing to travel thousands of miles to directly invade Amegakure, where Nagato was located.

"It seems that the one who dealt with the White Zetsu lurking in Amegakure wasn't Nagato, but you—am I right, Naruto?"

Obito's right eye met Naruto's bright red left eye.

The Sharingan resonance also only lasted for a short time.

But Obito was certain that the three-tomoe Sharingan in Naruto's left eye was Kakashi's... or rather, his eye.

Indeed, when Kakashi's eye was taken, they should have prioritized getting his left eye back.

"You're thinking now, since I have detailed intelligence that allows me to know so clearly about Pain's existence and kill Nagato... have you also deduced the connection between this left eye and you, right?"

Obito's worst suspicions were spoken as fact by Naruto, who was his enemy.

Even though his body had become intangible, Obito instinctively chose to distance himself from Naruto after hearing his words.

Naruto ignored Obito's reaction completely. He simply watched Obito getting further and further away from him and asked again out of curiosity:

"So, how do you think I will carry out my next attack?"

Naruto's question echoed in Obito's ears.

The next moment, intense pain surged from Obito's body to his brain.

Even though he was still in the Hollowfication state, Obito's body, which was hidden in the Kamui dimension through Hollowfication, was still injured!

"Cough! Ooh!"

Obito let out a painful whimper and fell onto the lake, his entire body covered in blood.

Even though he was in so much pain, Obito still used his space-time eye technique, causing the space around him to spiral and distort in a visible way, expelling the "foreign object" from the Kamui dimension.

That "foreign object" was none other than Naruto's shadow clone!

"You're still as bad as ever at dealing with the Rasengan ninjutsu."

However, Obito remained silent, his gaze fixed on himself.

Two conspicuous Flying Thunder God marks now overlap on his severely injured body.

One of them was a shadow clone that Naruto had previously hidden in the Kamui dimension. It successfully ambushed Obito with a Rasengan when Obito had no vision of the Kamui dimension and applied Naruto's Flying Thunder God Seal upon contact with Obito's body.

Obito was also familiar with the pattern of the other Flying Thunder God seal.

This Flying Thunder God mark belongs to his teacher, "Yellow Flash" Minato Namikaze!

Naruto used Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan left eye, which was implanted in his eye socket, to absorb his shadow clone into the Kamui dimension. He then used the chakra that Minato Namikaze had left in Naruto's body to activate the Flying Thunder God mark that Minato had placed on Obito sixteen years ago.

The vast Kamui space locked onto Obito's location, and the Rasengan was successfully used on him.

"I won."

Obito had just said the same thing to Konan.

Unexpectedly, Naruto immediately used it on Obito himself.

Naruto stared into Obito's eyes for a moment.

As expected, in order to conserve more chakra for using Kamui, Obito did not rely too heavily on the power of Izanagi like Danzo did. He only transplanted a three-tomoe Sharingan into his missing left eye as a precaution.

This "unexpected" preventative measure was assigned to Konan by Obito.

Faced with Naruto's relentless attacks, Obito can only use his right eye to change reality if he wants to use Izanagi again.

But if he really lost his eyes, then Obito would have no chance of escaping from Naruto's grasp.

Obito still held onto hope.

He eliminated Naruto's shadow clones from the Kamui dimension, and will probably find an opportunity to use Kamui to teleport himself away next.

Naruto won't give him that chance.

Naruto formed hand seals, and an astonishing amount of chakra gathered.

Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!

Naruto, who could have simply and cleanly killed Obito, chose to use the Shadow Clone Technique instead.

In an instant, a thousand of Naruto's shadow clones surrounded Obito.

"I won't let you die so easily. I will make you experience extreme and endless pain."

In the blink of an eye, the thousand shadow clones vanished again.

Instead, Naruto's left Sharingan, which was originally only a three-tomoe Sharingan, became a Mangekyou Sharingan with the same pattern as Obito's right Mangekyou Sharingan.

The two people, who share the same eyes, are connected to each other in a shared divine space.

Obito could use his right eye to eliminate Naruto's shadow clones in the Kamui dimension.

Naruto can also endlessly suck shadow clones into the Kamui dimension using his left eye.

Obito Uchiha, who was already locked onto by the Flying Thunder God Technique, had no way to escape from Naruto!

They could only passively endure Naruto's one-sided brutal killing.

……

……

The torrential rain in Amegakure Village seemed to stop at some unknown time.

A seven-colored rainbow appeared between the sky and the earth, radiating dazzling colors.

Severely injured and floating on her back on the lake, waiting to die, Konan was grateful that she could still see this beautiful scenery, a rare sight in Amegakure, before she died.

However, the next moment, her view of the rainbow was blocked by a dark shadow.

"You're not dead yet."

Naruto looked down at Konan with a blank expression.

"What, are you planning to save me?"

Naruto remained silent in the face of Konan's question.

Although Konan's injuries are serious, Naruto could certainly save her if he wanted to, since Karin is still in Amegakure and hasn't left.

But Naruto had no reason to rescue Konan.

Having roughly guessed Naruto's thoughts, Konan spoke again: "He's about to die."

Where are the spots?
