A Tacit Ceasefire Mid-Fight

As Naruto got carried away with his insults, his language became increasingly vulgar, spewing out a string of short telegrams. After cursing the other person's parents, he went on to inquire about his unrequited love.

He wasn't going to Obito Uchiha about any profound principles; damn it, that bastard didn't deserve to listen.

What exactly did Obito Uchiha from his three years of compulsory ninja training? He and that old bastard Uchiha Madara developed feelings for each other over time – a perfect example of villainous theory.

He's addicted to playing the role of a cunning old man all day long; he's so young, yet he has the face of a shrewd and cunning old man. All he talks about is war, peace, and creating a new world.

Wanting everything to be permanent? Peace is never permanent, what a ridiculous person. If you can't have it, destroy it; destruction is eternity, right? Even cults aren't as extreme as you.

For Naruto, war and peace were irrelevant. All he knew was that this was a hard-won period of peace, and there were always idiots who wanted to nuke the Shinobi World.

Obito Uchiha died, so he became disillusioned with the world and planned to destroy it. What kind of twisted logic is that? If you're disillusioned with the world, just reincarnate into another world!

Hateful!

Naruto grew angrier with each curse, and Obito Uchiha. Both were hesitant to fight, so they simply unleashed a barrage of trash talk first.

This was also one of his objectives: let's all fight bare-chested and not involve our families, okay? Let's improve each other's personal qualities, and hopefully we can exchange some prisoners while we're at it.

"Have you ever experienced the feeling of losing a loved one? You make it sound so easy. When that day comes, you'll feel the same way I have! Naruto Uzumaki!" Obito gritted teeth.

He may not have experienced it, but even if he hasn't eaten pork, hasn't he seen a pig run? When God King Tang San lost his lover, he sat in front of the screen eating hand-torn rabbit, tears streaming down his face.

Upon hearing this, Naruto didn't tolerate him at all and pointed at Obito, spitting out his own words.

"What right do you have to say these things? Don't you know what you've done? You're really a naive fool. What did you do eighteen years ago?"

"Whether you live or die, you're still a newborn. You want to share a new world with Rin Nohara? Dream on. I won't let you have your way."

"I can't even be bothered to talk to you; you don't deserve to listen."

"You!! Can you shut your damn mouth?!" Obito Uchiha insults. He never expected that negotiations between ninjas could be so dirty.

Has the world changed? Do ninjas nowadays start their fights by trash-talking?

"Heh, what? Can't take it anymore?" Naruto shook his hand and sneered, "Then don't give me that nonsense about war and peace, give me something real."

"What do you mean?" Obito was also tired of cursing. Naruto's previous actions with Rin Nohara had calmed him down quite a bit, and his trigeminal nerve was starting to hurt.

He felt that even the most troublesome thing he had ever done was not as tiring as today. His emotions were fluctuating too much, and he felt as if his whole body had been hollowed out.

He was exhausted. Facing this person was just too exhausting. They hadn't even started fighting yet. Before the direct confrontation even began, Obito felt like his energy was about to be completely depleted.

What Naruto didn't know was that Obito had already labeled him as a very troublesome person. But even if he knew, he wouldn't react; in his mind, Obito was just an idiot.

Silent! You are no match for me!

"Heh, I know what your purpose is. You just want to capture the Nine-Tails. I can agree to that." Naruto put his hands on his hips, looked at Obito, and said, word by word.

"However, the Nine-Tails is not with me. Here's what I'll do: you release the person, and I'll give the Nine-Tails to you."

Obito stared at Naruto for a while, then actually laughed and said something.

"Okay, you can only put one in. As for which one, you can decide for yourself. That way, you'll understand how I felt at the time."

"Sure." Naruto smiled, a bright smile. "By tomorrow, everyone in the Shinobi World will know just how big the secret of Rin Nohara, whom you love, really is after she grew up."

"So, do you want to give it a try? By the way, I can use Rin Nohara to Impure World Reincarnation Rin into her adult form. You must be curious too, right?"

Killing someone is just a matter of a quick death, but Obito most disgusting was Naruto, someone with a fake smile who spoke with a crueler edge than anyone else. It gave him the creeps.

However, he couldn't back down in front of Naruto, but he still couldn't help but fly into a rage.

"You dare!"

"You'll see if I dare. I have plenty of ways to access Rin Nohara's soul. You're welcome to try!" Naruto said, his neck stiff and veins bulging.

Obito immediately fell silent. He lived for Rin. It could be said that Rin Nohara was not just someone he liked, but also the reason he lived.

Once his beliefs are tainted or collapse, Obito immediately loses his reason for existence. What follows is inevitable self-denial, and then he goes mad.

"Fine, I'll release him, but why should I believe you'll hand over the Nine-Tails?" Obito Uchiha looked at Naruto and scrutinized him.

"Why would I need to lie to you?" Naruto retorted. "The Nine-Tails is in Konohagakure. Release him, and I'll give you the Nine-Tails."

Upon hearing this, Obito remained unmoved, seemingly doubting Naruto's words. It appeared he had no intention of releasing Naruto unless Naruto budged.

Without further ado, Naruto drew his Kusanagi Sword.

"Come on! Whoever wins has the right to speak!"

Obito Uchiha frowned; he was now somewhat confused about the other man's tactics. They had clearly been about to negotiate, but instead, the man had created a whole host of complications.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Naruto Uzumaki chose to negotiate again. He was negotiating with him when the guy suddenly drew his sword, ready to fight.

He was completely dumbfounded, thinking to himself, "Could that guy be a madman? He started off with trash talk, and then suddenly he drew his sword."

Obito felt utterly exhausted; this guy was just too much trouble. His brow twitched violently, and he even considered simply agreeing to his demands.

He was genuinely terrified of this madman. He feared that this man might actually rape Rin Nohara in various ways; the man's moral bottom line was truly appalling.

Just as he hesitated, Naruto had already silently rushed over, and Obito Uchiha instantly snapped back to reality. His pupils dilated sharply as he stared at Naruto Uzumaki, who had appeared before him without warning.

This smell is so familiar... Flying Thunder God! How could he Flying Thunder God? Wait! Where's the Flying Thunder God Kunai? I didn't see the Flying Thunder God Kunai at all, how did he get here!

This speed, comparable to the speed of light, instantly sent a chill down Obito Uchiha. His only Sharingan spun wildly, and at the last moment, he activated Kamui.

Space-time was distorted, Kamui instantly blurred the spot where Obito Uchiha, as if the entire attack had been nullified. To an uninformed person, this would likely seem to transcend the realm of Ninjutsu.

In fact, this is not the case; Kamui itself also has flaws.

Obito only possesses his right eye; his left eye is still with Kakashi. When his right eye activates Kamui, it can send any object into the Kamui Space, or bring items out of the Kamui Space.

Naruto stabbed at Obito Uchiha, and the latter instantly became intangible. The principle was simply to send the part of his body that was attacked into the Kamui Space bit by bit.

So, after missing his target with his sword strike, Naruto vanished without a trace. The next second, just as Obito Uchiha, Naruto's sword had already struck.

Suddenly, a five-meter-tall phantom of a blood-red fox burst forth from the blade, descending with a sharp blade aura without the slightest hesitation.

The soaring blood-red light spread rapidly in all directions like an exploding barrier, and the intense killing intent erupted like divine wrath in an instant without warning.

In an instant, swathes of trees fell, and half the sky was dyed red. Birds and beasts scattered in all directions, and a dense, earth-shattering chorus of cries of agony filled the air.

Obito Uchiha could only dodge; he had never seen anything like it before. If he weren't certain his eyes were fine, he would even doubt whether Naruto was the Nine-Tails himself.

Boom!

With a single strike, a tremendous explosion echoed through the forest, and crimson beams of light intertwined in the sky, creating a vast, blood-red net resembling a demonic abyss.

Obito Uchiha, and a wooden shield appeared in front of him, only to be blasted away by the blood-red light with a deafening boom. The scene was filled with a continuous barrage of explosions.

Using this momentary cover, Obito Uchiha once again distorted space and used Kamui to evade the attack.

Faced with Naruto's sudden and fierce attack, Obito was even temporarily overwhelmed. Apart from his Sharingan, he didn't possess any other powerful skills.

Susanoo without his eyes; he does have some cells in his body, but unfortunately, he can't activate the Rinnegan on his own yet. Without the Rinnegan, he can't summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Even though Kamui and Izanagi are powerful enough, Naruto also has his own killer moves in spatial teleportation, with Flying Thunder God for short distances and Gate of Hades for long distances.

More importantly, even though he wasn't a member of the Uchiha Clan, he still possessed Izanagi.

The next second, Obito Uchiha, having dodged the attack, leaped out of the Kamui Space from another direction. Before he could even catch his breath, he suddenly turned his head and saw a Blood-colored Nine-Tails rapidly approaching him.

The Blood-colored Nine-Tails- Tails, standing over ten meters tall, was covered in red Chakra Armor, resembling a demon crawling out of hell, with its massive, white teeth exposed.

Boom boom boom!!!

The massive, Blood-colored Nine-Tails accelerated in three stages, unleashing a sonic boom that crushed Obito Uchiha with a bang, tearing him in two with a soft thud.

[Izanagi]

Obito, who had just activated the Izanagi Ninjutsu, suddenly opened his eyes, narrowly escaping death. Anyone else would have been reduced to a pulp.

Naruto didn't stop, continuing to lock onto Obito Uchiha's location. Since Obito hadn't yet obtained the Rinnegan, his strength was only so-so; a relentless barrage would suffice.

Finally, Obito.

"Stop! I promise you, I'll release them."

He finally relented, actually because he didn't want to continue arguing with this madman. His goal was to capture the Nine-Tails, and he didn't want to continue talking to Naruto about Rin Nohara.

Now that the Nine-Tails isn't with him, threatening Naruto is pointless. Besides, he can't threaten Naruto now; Naruto is holding Rin Nohara and seems ready to fight to the death.

Obito knew that if he continued to keep those two women with him, they would do everything they could to keep hounding him and torment him with Rin Nohara.

Letting him go will at least save me one more problem.

Naruto's insane words were still echoing in Obito's mind. Some of those words couldn't be thought about too deeply; once you started, you'd get lost in them.

"Then release it now!" Naruto instantly released the Blood-colored Nine-Tails, jumped down from mid-air, and roared at Obito Uchiha, "Hurry up!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and with a thud, a coffin rose from the ground.

Obito glanced at the coffin, his eyes filled with pain and struggle. He was seething with hatred, but dared not utter a sound. He could only take a deep breath and speak to Naruto.

"I'll let them go, but you're never allowed to use Impure World Reincarnation Rin again! Otherwise, I'll kill everyone you care about!"

"Okay!" Naruto nodded in agreement almost without hesitation. "My biggest concern is Sasuke Uchiha. Don't try to sway my comrades!"

"If I find out you're after Sasuke, I'll kill you!"

"Heh!" Obito sneered, but didn't reply. "I understand. Remember what you just said, or I won't let you off the hook!"

With that, Obito his hand, and Ino Yamanaka and Hinata Hyuga appeared instantly. The two women were momentarily stunned; they were positioned right in the middle of the battlefield.

"Hinata? What about us?" Ino was stunned.

"It seems like he's out?" Hinata said cautiously. She turned her head and saw Obito Uchiha. He was dressed in tattered clothes and his mask was gone.

For a moment, Hinata didn't recognize Obito as the one who had kidnapped her. She turned her head again and saw Naruto, her confusion turning into excitement.

"Naruto!" she couldn't help but call out.

Ino also saw Naruto, and her brows furrowed the moment her gaze fell on Obito. She didn't recognize Obito either; she had been sucked into the Kamui Space in an instant, and only remembered that he was wearing an orange mask.

"You guys..." Ino glanced at Naruto, then at Obito Uchiha, and sensed that something was amiss.

Seeing that the adorable Hinata and the attentive Ino were both alright, Naruto secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He almost... almost didn't get any food.

Even though Naruto wanted nothing more than to kill Obito Uchiha right now, he still managed a smile in order not to put psychological pressure on Ino and Hinata.

"It's nothing! Just an old friend!"

After speaking, he waved to the two women, signaling them to come over. At the same time, Obito Uchiha was also complicated, but he didn't say anything.

"An old friend?" Ino naturally didn't believe his nonsense.

Naruto often lies, but now isn't the time to talk. Ino thought for a moment, then grabbed Hinata hand and led her towards Naruto's location.

Obito Uchiha watched from a distance, tacitly ceasing hostilities, and focused on the two women reuniting with Naruto. It's unclear what they said, but the two women eventually walked away into the distance.

Naruto turned sideways, smiling as he stared at Obito, thinking to himself, "I'll kill you later."
