Sharingan Underneath, A Scheme Within Byakugan

The firelight's figure maintained its downward chopping pose, about to land. The air around him formed clear distortions in the Sharingan's vision.

Though he was still ten centimeters from the ground, and could descend in an instant, to Obito's eyes, he was moving slowly.

Obito actually had enough time to calmly consider, then found a trajectory as intricate as carving, controlling his arm to lift, letting the blade pass by, and allowing the opponent's sword to slash down along his body.

His arm rose slowly and elegantly in his perception, extending his hand. The four shuriken on his four fingers plowed through Hokage's chest, the resistance of flesh and blood clearly transmitted to his brain through the shuriken.

Flesh split open, all the way to his chin, and was then stopped by the bone. Obito chose that moment to push, shoving the man away.

The "slow" move from the Sharingan appeared as fast as lightning to onlookers. Obito had narrowly dodged the blade and raised his shuriken.

Then, with a "swish," a deep gash, a full five centimeters wide and bone-deep, was carved across Hokage's chest.

Obito flicked his index and middle fingers, and two shuriken flew out, chasing after Hokage like shooting stars.

Suddenly, the earth beneath his feet softened. Demon Leech placed his hands on the ground, using Yellow Springs Swamp to turn the ground into a marsh. Obito's brain reacted, but he lacked the chakra to move. Before he could react, he was trapped.

"Beep—"

A whistle sounded, seeming to stretch on in his ears. A tall earth wall rose, then suddenly tilted and collapsed towards him.

Earth Flow Wall!

Rock Dwelling Collapse!

These two ninjutsu were used consecutively after Yellow Springs Swamp. In Obito's Sharingan vision, he could only watch helplessly as the rock wall slowly tilted and pressed down towards him.

But he couldn't break free, nor could he escape. All that remained were the frantically spinning tomoe in his eyes...

He heard Kakashi's delayed voice and felt Kakashi grab his clothes, pulling him backward.

The pressing rock wall pinned his legs and half his body. The sharp pain slowly eroded him, transmitting in distinct layers. The pain, which should have been instantaneous, was stretched out by the Sharingan's ability, its detailed process laid bare.

He could clearly feel the process of pain extending, precise to about one centimeter.

In reality, all of this had happened in the blink of an eye.

Nara Tama, hidden in the shadows, was also shocked by this sudden turn of events. He thought, No, this whole process is different, and he can still go blind? He was stunned by Kakashi's unbelievable encounter—could this be the power of fate?

As for Obito being taken out by the three ninjutsu, Nara Tama had seen the entire process clearly but wasn't shocked.

Kakashi's encounter was a coincidence, but Obito's was not.

Nara Tama saw White Zetsu, like himself, observing the battlefield from the shadows. The moment Obito activated his Sharingan, White Zetsu had suddenly disappeared and reappeared. It instantly possessed three Rock Ninja and used their most proficient Earth Style Ninjutsu.

Yellow Springs Swamp trapped Obito's feet, an Earth Flow Wall rose, and then Rock Dwelling Collapse toppled the Earth Flow Wall onto Obito.

Flawless execution!

This was clearly the work of White Zetsu, acting with intent and a plan, aiming to keep Obito here.

Could it be that when Obito awakened his Sharingan just now, that brief disappearance was to report to Uchiha Madara? After receiving specific orders, it decided to keep Obito here... That makes sense, after all, he's a prodigy who suddenly awakened the Mangekyo.

The thought of obtaining the Kamui space and hiding his main body in another dimension made him excited.

The clan destruction crisis hanging over his head could finally be eased.

He focused intently on Obito.

In his mind, he repeatedly pondered, This mission to destroy Kannagi Bridge was an accident.

Therefore, Uchiha Madara couldn't have planned for Obito beforehand. It was just that a great battle occurred here, and White Zetsu was sent to observe. Then, White Zetsu discovered that Obito had suddenly awakened the Mangekyo, so it went back to report, and Uchiha Madara instantly devised this plan.

The speed White Zetsu displayed just now, a round trip, was incredibly short. There isn't much time for me to act!

It probably wouldn't dare reveal itself. My chance is in the brief moment after Kakashi and Rin switch eyes and Obito loses consciousness. After thinking this, he cautioned himself, If it proves impossible, it's best to retreat. Don't try to snatch chestnuts from the fire.

"Obito!" Nohara Rin ran to Obito's side, placing her hand on his chest, using Mystical Palm Technique to keep him alive.

Kakashi, with his sword, charged into the Rock Ninja. White Fang was like lightning. Among the Rock Ninja, including Hokage and Demon Leech, none could withstand a single blow.

A terrifying killing intent condensed around Kakashi. This killing intent radiated from White Fang, as if it had paused the entire battlefield. He moved as if in the cracks of time, slicing open the enemies' throats with each strike.

After killing them, Kakashi walked to Obito's side. "Obito, you and Rin stay here. I'll destroy the bridge and complete the mission. After we return to the camp, with Kin there, he can definitely save you. You must hold on. Rin, you—"

"Cough!" Obito coughed up blood, saying with difficulty, "No, it's fine. Kin, that guy, I don't want him to see me in such a pathetic state. Rin, don't waste your time on me. I, cough, my internal organs are mostly crushed, I can't possibly make it back. And right now..." Right now, Uchiha Kin, as the commander on the front lines, was busy fighting. He couldn't let his personal situation delay the war.

"Obito!"

"Damn it, Kakashi, I... cough, I'm not a dead last. Today, you've seen how amazing I am, right?" Obito forced a smile, but he was losing even that strength.

He looked at Kakashi's left eye again. "Rin, give him my eye. Kakashi, use my eye to see the world for me... I still have many dreams I haven't fulfilled... Remember, you must..."

With that, he fainted.

Nohara Rin couldn't decide and could only look at Kakashi. Kakashi was silent for a long time before saying, "Obito, I will see the world for you. Rin, let's go!" Kakashi's voice turned cold. "We still have a mission to complete!"

"Kakashi!" Nohara Rin's heart clenched, making it impossible to breathe.

Kakashi said, "Obito... he always wanted to be a hero, admired by others. Not mocked. I think, in the future, he will definitely be admired! No one will call him a big-mouthed dead last anymore."

Nohara Rin said, "Obito isn't a dead last."

"Mhm."
