Danzo took a deep breath and unleashed his strongest Wind Release technique, creating an invisible, arc-shaped wind bullet that slammed into Obito Uchiha like a rocket launcher.

boom!

Obito Uchiha stood motionless, the wind bullet that Danzo had just unleashed had knocked down a row of shops, turning them into ruins.

"Wind Release. It's quite rare to find an Uchiha with Wind Release."

"You're quite the genius."

"But what shocked me even more was that you not only have Sharingan, but also the cells of the First Hokage."

Obito Uchiha calmly commented that, based on his perception, Danzo's right eye was definitely not an ordinary Sharingan, and he also had a right arm composed of a single tomoe, a double tomoe, and a weakened version of Senju cells.

"As expected, Madara isn't so easy to deal with." Danzo said to his subordinates, "Attack!"

"Secret Technique: Parasitic Bugs!"

Aburame Ryoma raised his hands, and countless tiny black insects floated out of his body. If someone with trypophobia saw this, they would probably be so frightened that they would go limp.

"I originally wanted to leave you with a complete corpse, to die peacefully, but it seems there's still no way I can avoid resistance." Obito Uchiha formed a hand seal with one hand, took a deep breath facing the swarm of insects in front of him, and shouted: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The mere C-rank Fire Release technique, when used by Obito Uchiha, transcended the category of C-rank ninjutsu. A fireball with a diameter of ten meters was ejected from in front of Obito, its temperature of one thousand degrees Celsius instantly igniting the originally cold night air, not to mention the parasitic insects that were merely insects.

The sizzling sound burned the swarm of insects released by Aburame Ryoma into ashes.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining Root ninjas also used Water Release techniques to cushion the blow.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

One after another, water-style attacks erupted, successfully blocking Obito Uchiha's fire-style attacks. The steam generated by the fusion of water and fire also obscured everyone's vision. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ryoma Aburame guided his parasitic insects and seized the chance to take down the masked man in one fell swoop.

"That's quite an idea." Obito Uchiha remained calm and unhurried, directly merging his entire body into the alternate dimension and leaving an explosive tag in the original spot.

With another loud 'boom', the black parasitic insects were stunned and disoriented. Taking advantage of this, Obito Uchiha used space-time teleportation to arrive beside Ryoma Aburame.

"Captain, watch out!" A Chunin from Root noticed this and immediately drew his short sword, swinging it fiercely.

Obito Uchiha also smiled, making a punching motion as if to hit Ryoma Aburame on the back of the head.

The next second, the Root's short sword pierced through Obito Uchiha's body, and with a 'whoosh' sound, it hit Ryoma Aburame's back. The Root Chunin successfully helped Obito Uchiha launch a sneak attack on Ryoma Aburame.

"Uh!"

"Team Captain..." The Root Chunin shuddered in fright and dropped his short sword, which fell to the ground with a 'clatter'.

Despite his pain and anger, Ryoma Aburame turned around to look at the idiot Root member. At the same time, Obito Uchiha also jumped away the moment he turned around, appearing in the position of another Root Chunin, his chain about to be placed around the Chunin's neck.

"Don't even think about it!" Another Root Chunin formed hand seals, and the next second his shadow transformed into a sharp blade, rushing straight towards Uchiha Obito.

"Secret Technique: Shadow Stitching Technique!"

The ethereal black shadow materialized into a physical attack, prompting Obito Uchiha to exclaim, "Have the Uchiha clan's studies become this extensive these days? They even have the Nara clan's secret techniques..."

Just as Obito Uchiha finished his assessment, two 'splat' sounds rang out almost simultaneously, appearing behind the Root Chunin who was standing in front of Obito.

"Ahhh!"

"How is this possible!" The Chunin from Root, who was manipulating shadows with his hands forming hand seals, exclaimed in disbelief.

“Nothing is impossible.” Obito Uchiha left again and then came to the back of another Root Chunin.

At this point, Danzo knew he couldn't let his subordinates fight anymore, or they would all be wiped out.

"Madara's technique is a space-time ninjutsu that can evade our attacks. With our comrades in front, don't make a move rashly!"

"Yes!"

But at this moment, Obito Uchiha also easily defeated a Chunin from Root. He felt that the 'Uchiha ninjas' here were much stronger than the previous batch.

"Looks like not all Uchiha are brainless."

"However, unfortunately, it seems you have misunderstood something."

Beneath the mask, Obito Uchiha's right eye appeared even more profound: "I was just playing around with you guys on a whim."

"From now on, I won't let you off easily."

boom!

A towering flame and a massive surge of Yin Release chakra appeared in the residential area.

"It seems Itachi can't handle this properly." Obito Uchiha lowered his right hand.

Chapter 17 Leaving the Tribal Land

"Bu Fan! Bu Fan! You absolutely can't get hurt!"

On the streets of the clan's territory, black-haired Sasuke was running at full speed, having lost one of his shoes, as he hurried towards the residential area.

After navigating through street after street, Sasuke finally saw what was happening in the residential area.

"U. Chiba Itachi!"

He would never forget the pain of that day, and that Uchiha Itachi, who had thrown the clan into chaos, was definitely the 'good older brother' who wiped out the clan.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Sasuke, with his short legs, hadn't even taken two steps when a terrifying power began to gather on the right side of his red Susanoo, forming three connected orange-red tomoe in less than two seconds.

"Eight-foot beautiful magatama!"

The rapidly spinning magatama attack was aimed at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who immediately grabbed his Second Hokage and dodged without hesitation.

boom! ! !

Halfway there, Sasuke saw a flash of white light and a rumbling sound that made his ears ring.

"Am I...am I dead?" Sasuke's initial courage vanished in an instant. He clutched his chest, his legs buckled, and he felt weak.

The next second, he opened one eye. After seeing his surroundings and finding no pain, he immediately opened both eyes to check the situation.

"Uh..."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Sasuke immediately spotted Itachi Uchiha standing amidst the ruins. Itachi was extremely weak at the moment, having forced himself to use his eye techniques twice due to his illness—once with Susanoo and once with Susanoo's attack—leaving him utterly exhausted.

"Itachi!!!" Sasuke roared.

Immediately afterwards, he began to look around for anything useful, and soon found a large, clearly visible rock nearby.

The reason he felt his vision was both clear and blurry was because he believed Itachi's attack had caused the blurring. So, he picked up the large rock, weighing about ten pounds, and stealthily made his way towards Itachi, preparing to deliver a powerful blow...

Bang!

Sasuke was so dizzy from hitting the wall in front of him that the stone fell onto the concrete ground of the street.

"Despicable Itachi..." Sasuke uttered his last words before falling unconscious.

At this moment, Itachi realized that he had exhausted too much energy. He hadn't expected that Hiruzen Uchiha was so powerful that he could force him to use Susanoo Defense and even dodge his attack at the crucial moment.

"Itachi, are you alright?" The masked man ignored the group of guys. Because of the Eye of the Moon plan, he needed to recruit more high-end combatants. The Akatsuki's internal lineup was divided into three factions: one was Nagato and Konan, one was the members who liked freedom, and the other was his own Uchiha Obito's faction.

Uchiha Itachi was one of those he recruited.

Currently, apart from Kisame and the Black and White Zetsu, most of the other members are completely obedient to Pain.

Therefore, he had to gather his own subordinates.

At the same time, he didn't completely trust Itachi Uchiha and needed Kisame to monitor him and determine his loyalty.

"My eye power is almost depleted..." Itachi Uchiha gasped for breath, while keeping a wary eye on the masked man.

"It's good that nothing serious happened." Obito Uchiha didn't care about these things. If Itachi Uchiha became useless, he would also abandon him without hesitation.

At this moment, at Sasuke's house, Hiruzen Sarutobi carried the unconscious Tobirama Senju to the front of the mansion and saw his two old friends looking bewildered in the courtyard.

"Xiaochun! Menyan! Are you alright?!"

"Sarutobi!"

Before Koharu and Homura could even feel happy for a second, they discovered the unconscious second-generation teacher.

Xiaochun, who was turning over in her dorm, gasped in shock. She never expected that her powerful teacher would lose.

"Teacher, what's going on?"

"He was hit by a genjutsu, and it must have been an ordinary one. Master only lasted for less than two seconds before he passed out." Hiruzen Sarutobi laid Tobirama Senju's body on the ground, panting heavily. Looking at his own disheveled state while his two old friends were clean, he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you two encounter any enemies?"

"We encountered them, but Danzo's Root squad covered the retreat... I wonder how they are doing." Mitomon Homura was also somewhat worried.

"It should be fine, right..." Koharu's tone was uncertain, then her gaze gradually became complicated. She glanced at Homura, then at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and finally her gaze settled on Tobirama Senju: "Sarutobi... what do you think... if we deal with the teacher at this time..."

"Shut up!" Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted Koharu Utatane's nonsense. "This is our teacher! If it weren't for her covering our retreat, we would have been dead long ago!"

"Koharu, you really went a bit too far," Mitokado Homura couldn't help but say.

"I'm sorry... I misspoke. Please don't tell the teacher when she wakes up." Xiaochun's tone was tinged with guilt as she recalled the scene from back then; she truly thought she was going to die...

Tread-tap-

"Ha ha!"

First came the crisp sound of footsteps, followed by several heavy breathing sounds. The three of them immediately looked nervously in the direction of the sound, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Danzo and a group of Anbu.

"Danzo, I'm so glad you're alright." Hiruzen Sarutobi had never wished Danzo to be alive so much, otherwise the three of them would be left to face those two monsters.

"What's wrong with Master?" Danzo gasped for breath, noticing the unconscious Tobirama Senju. The same thought that crossed his mind as Koharu Utatane's immediately crossed his mind: "Sarutobi, should we...?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi: ......

Mitokaku inflammation: ......

Koharu Utatane: "Stop talking about Danzo. He's our teacher. We absolutely cannot do such a thing."

Seeing Koharu Utatane's righteous and indignant demeanor, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Homura Mitokado couldn't help but look at her with speechless expressions.

"Hmph! Such womanly compassion. If it were Sarutobi or Homura, they certainly wouldn't..."

"I agree with Xiaochun's statement."

"Same."

Mitokado Homura and Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted Danzo, leaving him in an awkward silence for a moment before changing the subject: "By the way, who did you encounter? What about Hatake Sagumo? Wasn't he an Edo Tensei? Did he die too?"

“We’ve encountered Itachi Uchiha.” Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, then added, “Even if I were resurrected in this ‘game,’ I wouldn’t be able to use my infinite regeneration ability. And we may have underestimated Itachi’s strength.”

"Oh?! Could it be???" Danzo immediately guessed what was going on when he heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's evaluation.

"It's the Mangekyou Sharingan, just as terrifying as Shisui's."

"One of its eyes can unleash an inextinguishable black flame called Amaterasu."

The other eye is most likely an illusion; only Tobirama-sensei knows this.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his teacher with a complicated expression, while also marveling at his teacher's foresight in dealing with the Uchiha clan.

Itachi was only thirteen years old, yet he awakened two great dojutsu and could even use Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, leaving the Third Hokage and his Second teacher utterly powerless...

He's an absolute genius.

“If that’s the case, I also have another piece of information.” Danzo’s expression turned serious. “Regarding the masked man’s Mangekyou Sharingan, it should be related to space and time, and neither physical attacks nor ninjutsu attacks are effective.”

"What about illusion magic?" Mitokado Homura asked a stupid question.

Danzo's face fell: "Using genjutsu to deal with the Uchiha? Do you think my subordinates are all idiots?"

“That’s true.” Mitokado Yan nodded.

Just as everyone was about to calculate how much time was left, they noticed that obvious indentations were forming on the floor, creating characters one after another.

[Time: 31 minutes and 27 seconds]

"Has only half an hour passed?" Danzo couldn't help but punch a tree. They had both used up a lot of their chakra, and the remaining half hour was going to be unbearable.

"Perhaps we can try to turn them into enemies?" Koharu Tsurugi thought of the second rule.

[Rule Two: The masked man and the telephone pole boy are not entirely friendly partners; certain conditions must be met for them to become enemies.]

"But what is that condition?" Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but start thinking, but the next second he thought of Sasuke and asked Koharu, "You came to Sasuke's house, but didn't you find Sasuke?"

"No."

Koharu and Mitokado both shook their heads.

"This is going to be difficult." Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth. If Sasuke were here, perhaps Sasuke would be the key, but now, the clan's territory is deserted. What conditions would be necessary...?

"Wait a minute!"
