Dispute (1)

"It's useless..."

A girl with pink hair and blue eyes slowly walked out and stood beside the boy.

"He's in a state of intangibility," Sakura Haruno said calmly, pointing at the Masked Man.

Sasuke hadn't actually heard her explanation at all.

He looked on in shock, slowly turned his head, and stared incredulously at the familiar Sakura Haruno who Earth Flow towards him gracefully.

Sakura Haruno... didn't die.

Confusion? Surprise? Ecstasy?... Or perhaps a burning rage at the guy who made him heartbroken for so long? -- That Clone Technique was incredibly realistic; it scared him half to death!

It's hard to find a single word that can accurately describe Sasuke's complex emotions, mixed with immense joy, at this moment.

But in the end, all these emotions culminated in a faint smile on Sasuke's lips.

An undeniable smile.

"You're not dead..." he said softly.

That's wonderful.

"Hmm..." Sakura Haruno nodded somewhat sheepishly.

After the clone was defeated, the main body should have appeared next; however, seeing Sasuke's Sharingan suddenly begin to transform, Sakura deliberately waited a while.

They were afraid that her appearance would scare Sasuke back to the Mitsudomoe Mangekyō, which he had just upgraded.

Sasuke was heartbroken for nothing—such an awkward way of awakening the Mangekyō is probably a unique case in Uchiha history.

The others outside the venue were also quite surprised.

"Sakura Haruno... isn't dead either?" Karin exclaimed in surprise.

She glanced at the two seemingly unfazed figures on the field and frowned. "So, the battle has come full circle?"

"No."

The missing-nin Sasuke shook his head, looking confused.

The battle is over.

Although he couldn't understand why Sakura Haruno could be resurrected through his Mangekyō -like eyes, he at least understood that Sakura Haruno's resurrection clearly meant she had won the battle.

Even though Izanagi can be resurrected, the Chakra the Masked Man has expended cannot be recovered...

In other words, at this moment, his Chakra and stamina had plummeted to rock bottom, and apart from not having any wounds, his condition was extremely poor.

Obito Uchiha... was weaker than ever before.

The only reason he dared to stand in front of everyone was because he possessed an unsolvable Space-Time Ninjutsu, allowing him to escape at any time.

So Obito was quite surprised when he discovered that Sakura Haruno was still alive.

The expression on his face beneath the mask instantly turned extremely ugly.

"You're still alive?" The man's exposed Mangekyō Sharingan narrowed coldly as he spoke in a chilling voice.

"Is there anything surprising?" Sakura Haruno turned her head, a mocking smile on her face.

Surprise?

Obito was naturally surprised.

He once suspected that Sakura Haruno had also mastered Izanagi. However, theoretically, only someone who possesses both the First Hokage's cells and the Sharingan can use that technique; moreover, after Sakura Haruno was resurrected, her Sharingan did not permanently lose its light, but instead became a pair of ordinary blue eyes.

Or was the one he just fought only an avatar?

For a fleeting moment, the man came close to the truth, but he immediately dismissed the idea: Who would put their Sharingan into a clone instead of their main body? Besides, Sakura Haruno, who had just fought him, was clearly flesh and blood, completely different from ordinary Ice Clone.

Obito was completely baffled and ultimately couldn't decipher Sakura Haruno's technique.

In fact, during this battle, Sakura Haruno's techniques were incomprehensible to him several times.

This was the first time Obito had come.

He believed he could see through the entire Shinobi World, yet he couldn't see through a few of Sakura Haruno's Ninjutsu.

Is it because she comes from another world?

Obito pondered silently, increasingly feeling how troublesome the girl was!

He stared intently at Sakura Haruno's face, remaining silent for a long time before coldly addressing the missing-nin Sasuke on the other side. "It's time to retreat, Sasuke."

"Retreat?"

The pink-haired girl frowned slightly, a hint of regret in her heart.

If Obito attacks, she's quite confident she can take him down again!

--This is not a clone. Her body has been honed to be extremely strong and powerful through years of training and battles. Her Taijutsu abilities are extremely strong, and her spirit is perfectly integrated with them. If the original body had attacked when the clone died with Obito probably wouldn't have been able to cut off her head!

However, since the Masked Man possessed extremely advanced Space-Time Ninjutsu, wanted to leave, she really couldn't do anything about it... Unless a barrier specifically designed to counter Space-Time Ninjutsu was set up beforehand, no one could stop this mysterious man!

"Weren't you going to kill me?" The girl turned her head and looked at the missing-nin Sasuke on the other side, saying defiantly, "My stamina has decreased significantly, this is the perfect opportunity to kill me..."

"Why not give it a try, Sasuke Uchiha of this world...?"

Before the missing-nin Sasuke could speak, the slightly younger Sasuke, who Sasuke in the same world as Sakura Haruno, was suddenly startled.

"What's going on?" He frowned deeply, staring at the other Sasuke and demanding, "You actually wanted to kill Sakura Haruno?"

"That's right."

The missing-nin Sasuke readily admitted it.

Seeing the utterly incomprehensible expression on the other Sasuke, the missing-nin Sasuke chuckled contemptuously, "Me from another world, are you still indulging in those boring ninja games in Konoha?"

"How foolish!"

"What?!" Konoha Sasuke raised his voice.

"Seeing you so easily deceived by Konoha reminds me of my past self..." The missing-nin Sasuke chuckled coldly. "No, get up, you are indeed my past self."

"After I defected, I learned a lot of things. I bet you're still in the dark. Konoha has always been very secretive about the Uchiha, never daring to expose the shameful things they've done!"

"No, I also know something about the matter between Konoha and the Uchiha," Konoha Sasuke a somber expression.

"Our clan... was wiped out because we started a rebellion!"

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

The missing-nin Sasuke burst into wild laughter.

"So that's all you know, that you think Konoha was forced to take action, and that's why you feel at ease staying in the village?"

His maniacal smile twisted Sasuke's handsome face into a ferocious grimace.

"Let me tell you the truth! The ugly truth that Konoha has been trying to hide!"

He gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"After you hear this, you'll understand why I hate Konoha so much, and why I've made everyone in Konoha my target for revenge!"

The missing-nin Sasuke's chest heaved as he recalled what Madara had told him, and his emotions still ran high!

After a long while, he calmed himself down and looked indifferently at his other self. "You are also me, another Sasuke Uchiha... You will understand."

Sakura Haruno opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and looking at the determined eyes of the boy beside her, she still didn't join in the conversation between the two Sasuke.

"Let me go with him," Sasuke calmly, patting the girl's wrist.

"You... I'd like to hear what rumors have brainwashed you..."

He turned his head and calmly looked at the missing-nin Sasuke.
