The Unknown World

Kamui's alternate dimension was the safest place in the world for Obito, as well as a shortcut that could lead anywhere.

Its drawback was that he could not distinguish directions. However, with the Flying Thunder God Technique's mark, he could overcome that flaw and reach his desired destination by the fastest route.

Obito raced through the black-and-white world. His face was expressionless, but his scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan was filled with emotion. He knew there was no time to grieve, but during the dull journey, it was difficult to keep those feelings under control.

"Itachi, Shisui..."

Obito gritted his teeth as he pressed onward. Images of Itachi and Shisui surfaced before his eyes, only to suddenly blur and darken. In the end, they faded away like wisps of smoke.

"Hmm?"

A sudden stabbing pain shot through his eyes. Obito frowned slightly as his vision gradually blurred, then cleared again, shifting back and forth between indistinctness and clarity along with the pain.

"Not yet... Hold on!"

Obito let out a suppressed growl like that of an injured beast. It echoed into the far reaches of the silent Kamui dimension.

As the growl faded into the space, his vision, which had gradually blurred and approached darkness, slowly cleared.

The moment his vision became clear, colorful figures were reflected in his eyes.

There was Kakashi, Teacher Minato, Teacher Kushina, and many others. And also... Rin!

"Before the mission is complete, not even a god can take the light from my eyes!"

His surging emotions were like a dazzling beam of light focused to its utmost intensity, shining fiercely into his heart. With those emotions and his will, he forcibly delayed the progress of his eyes losing their light.

Obito suddenly sped up. After a while, he stopped atop a white pillar.

"We're here."
