The Second Pair of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan

When Obito saw that only Itachi was standing there waiting for him,

his first reaction was vigilance!

After his last attack, Itachi's eyes should have suffered severe damage.

There had even been rumors that he had gone blind and no longer possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan.

But Obito now only dared to believe half of that intelligence.

Even Shamu, who left nothing to chance—even if that were truly the case, how could such information have been leaked?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible!

"Call the others out. You alone are no match for me."

Obito wore a cold expression, seemingly certain that Itachi was not the only one here.

"Since when did a stray dog dare come back to provoke us?"

Itachi spoke in an even tone, but he had noticed that Obito possessed two Mangekyō Sharingan.

The Rinnegan was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, Itachi was also cautiously gathering intelligence on Obito, considering how to handle this matter.

Shamu had already instructed them that they had now established their own nation.

To prevent the coveting of petty scoundrels, especially people like Obito,

they needed to show their strength and make everyone fear them.

Shamu was unable to come deal with Obito this time, so Itachi would have to rely on himself.

Obito's abilities were no longer a secret among the Uchiha higher-ups.

There was no need for a probing attack. In Obito's current state, he could not be hit.

But Itachi was not worried. As long as Obito made a move, Itachi's counterattack would arrive immediately.

After rebuilding his spirit, Obito's Mental Energy had increased tremendously, directly enhancing his Mangekyō Sharingan.

It greatly strengthened the abilities of Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan. Obito calculated that even if Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan could still be used,

he still would not be a match for him.

What was more, Obito still had the Rinnegan in his hand.

His Mental Energy was stronger than Itachi's, his ocular power was stronger than Itachi's, his Susanoo was stronger than Itachi's—how could he lose?

Hearing Itachi's provocation, Obito's face remained utterly calm.

Obito did not know what Itachi was planning, but he certainly would not flee before testing anything.

Obito stomped heavily on the ground and charged at Itachi at high speed.

Itachi drew his weapon and instantly sprang forward as well.

The two passed each other. Itachi slashed Obito across the body with a single stroke.

As expected, the blade passed straight through Obito's body. Itachi's impassive face met Obito's probing gaze.

In an instant...

To Obito's astonishment, the pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in Itachi's eyes.

This... this was!...

Obito's heart shook violently!

The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!

Tsukuyomi!

Like a shattered mirror, Obito was instantly dragged into Tsukuyomi Space.

The space before Obito's eyes shifted, and he returned to the gray, black, and white world of Tsukuyomi.

Obito was once again bound to a pillar.

He let out a string of cold chuckles.

"I never expected that you, too, would obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan."

Obito knew perfectly well how Madara had obtained the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan back then.

That was why, when he had guessed that Shamu's eyes were the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he had been utterly dumbfounded.

Now, Itachi possessing the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was both unexpected and perfectly reasonable.

After all, even Shamu, who had no blood relatives, could evolve his eyes into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Not to mention Itachi and Fugaku. Both possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, and they were father and son.

Obito was only slightly surprised, but it further reinforced his impression that Shamu was an expert schemer.

Itachi had silently obtained the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan without ever revealing it. Had he been waiting all along for Obito to come to him?

Obito's body was now bound to a cross.

Itachi began torturing Obito.

But Obito merely scrutinized Itachi with cold eyes.

"I underestimated you, Itachi."

Itachi said unhurriedly,

"Is that so? Then we have plenty of time ahead of us."

Obito snorted coldly.

"So what if you have the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Then, two surges of ocular power erupted from his body simultaneously.

One came from his two Kamui Eyes, while the other came from the Rinnegan in his hand.

The immense ocular power erupted, and the entire Tsukuyomi Space began shaking violently.

Then came another sound like a mirror shattering.

Obito and Itachi returned to reality together.

Obito and Itachi both let out muffled groans and retreated in unison.

Obito extended his right hand.

With a tearing sound, Obito's sleeve ripped apart, and his right hand transformed into a massive tree that lashed toward Itachi.

The two were close at hand. At the instant the tree struck toward Itachi,

black flames instantly ignited across Obito's body.

The struck Itachi turned into a flock of black crows and flew into the sky.

Obito instantly projected his Susanoo, blocking Amaterasu outside.

As he dismissed the Susanoo, he passed through a gap in the Amaterasu flames.

Obito's Susanoo immediately donned armor, drew two Susanoo Shuriken, and threw them out.

The crows gathered into a human figure. It was Itachi.

Itachi's eyes spun as well, and an orange-red Susanoo rose from the ground.

Itachi's Susanoo held a shield in its left hand. Its right arm had two hands, and the hand below the wrist held an orange gourd.

Blazing flames surged out of the orange gourd, forming a flaming longsword.

Itachi raised the Yata Mirror in his left hand.

It blocked the Susanoo Shuriken head-on.

With a clang, the Susanoo Shuriken was completely blocked by Itachi's Susanoo.

Obito concentrated his ocular power and infused the power of Kamui into the shuriken.

It became a true Kamui Shuriken before he hurled it out.

Itachi controlled his Susanoo to stomp on the ground and charge forward at incredible speed.

He repeated the same tactic, extending the weapon in his hand in an attempt to trigger the power of Kamui in advance.

Obito sneered. A Kamui Vortex appeared before Itachi.

Just as Itachi's Susanoo was about to change direction,

Obito suddenly raised his right hand. Seeing the Rinnegan in Obito's hand, Itachi's expression remained unchanged.

"Banshō Ten'in!"

The Rinnegan in Obito's hand shone brilliantly. Only after Obito spoke

did a powerful pulling force drag Itachi's Susanoo into the Kamui Vortex.

"The Rinnegan actually..."

Itachi let out a short cry of surprise as the upper half of his body was completely torn away.

Blood splattered across the ground.

Obito simultaneously activated the Kamui Shuriken, the Kamui Vortex, and the Rinnegan.

Even with his Chakra, he could not recover his breath for a moment.

Obito took a deep breath.

Hmph...

So what if he had the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan? He still died by my hand.

But what a pity about Itachi's eyes.

The upper half of Itachi's body had been shredded to pieces by the power of Kamui, so his eyes naturally could not be preserved.

Although Banshō Ten'in seemed to activate much more slowly, it did not matter. As long as the result was good, that was enough.

Having finally removed one of Uchiha Shamu's right-hand men, Obito felt exhilarated.

He quickly began searching for the Uchiha's elderly, weak, sick, and disabled.

At last, he found the remaining Uchiha clansmen in an underground shelter.
