Smack!
Two heavy thuds rang out, followed by the soft tap of feet touching down, echoing dully through the relatively open clearing in the mountain forest, where clumps of shrubs grew here and there.
This should be about right. Since Minato Namikaze possesses Space-Time Ninjutsu, complicated terrain would only put me at a disadvantage. Though this clearing is smaller than the one where I fought Taki Chiba before, it is still large enough for a battle.
What a nuisance!
Space-Time Ninjutsu ignores terrain and allows arbitrary movement. In the forest, I would be the one constrained at every turn.
I only hope it can be quick.
Sweeping his gaze over the open surroundings, Uchiha Nobuhiko took a deep breath as a string of thoughts flashed through his mind.
"Hmm..."
Then, as if he had thought of something, he lowered his head and looked at Uchiha Obito, whom he had just thrown onto the ground, and Taki Chiba, who lay silently beside him. His brow furrowed slightly.
After pondering for a moment, he crouched down, reached out, and lightly touched Taki Chiba's silent corpse.
Did I act too quickly?
I should have waited longer. Was this ultimately an oversight despite all my caution?
If it had been Taki Chiba, he probably would not have been so hasty. He definitely would have considered what to do after Uchiha Obito failed...
In the end, I am only a fool.
Compared to a true wise man, there are things experience simply cannot make up for. Even if I imitate the thought patterns of so-called wise men, I am merely drawing a tiger and ending up with a dog. No, not even that close.
When something differs even slightly from my experience, flaws will still appear.
And sometimes, they are quite fatal flaws!
