(The situation has temporarily come to a close. Negative emotions should not influence the reader.)

Wonderful times are always fleeting.

The time for lunch passed quickly, and Josuke had to return to Orochimaru's base.

GOOGLE SEARCH TWKAN

But before that, Josuke arrived at the Konoha public cemetery.

He followed footprints to a secluded spot.

First row.

Second row.

Josuke stopped in front of the second row.

He approached two nameless tombstones.

These were his parents. Even in death, their tombstones bore no names.

This was Konoha.

The current darkness could not be illuminated by a few rays of light. It was almost laughable.

Originally, his parents weren't even worthy of a spot in the public cemetery. It was only because the Third Hokage "graciously" allowed Mikoto and Fugaku a place to rest.

The cemetery was hidden deep within the dense forest. Although sunlight never reached it, this was for the best.

It kept his parents undisturbed by the world's conflicts.

Withered leaves and branches were scattered around the tombstones.

Josuke used his hands to clear away these branches one by one.

"Father, Mother, Sasuke and I are doing well. Itachi... well, he's also doing well. We're living happily."

Life is truly ironic.

Josuke thought this and looked to his left. Beyond a dense, gloomy forest stood the Third Hokage's statue.

It bore the inscription: Third Hokage of Konoha, the Ninja Hero, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Josuke scoffed.

If not for his indecisiveness, the Uchiha clan wouldn't be reduced to two and a half people.

And then there was Danzo, a parasite of the ninja world.

Those two were truly birds of a feather.

However, Josuke didn't intend to kill Danzo. His foolish younger brother needed a suitable practice tool.

Didn't he?

"Clap, clap, clap."

The sound of applause came from afar.

"Who's there?"

Josuke shouted out, his Flying Thunder God Kunai ready in his hand.

A figure slowly emerged from the trees, making a waving gesture.

"No need for that. I think we have plenty to talk about."

The newcomer was dressed in black and wore a tiger-striped mask. Josuke was startled. Was it him?

Still, Josuke adopted an offensive stance, his Three Tomoe Sharingan appearing in both eyes.

"Oh? Three Tomoe? Then take a look at this."

With that, the tiger-masked man activated his Sharingan in his right eye, which spun rapidly and transformed into a shuriken shape.

At that moment, Josuke had his answer.

"Who exactly are you? How do you possess my clan's eyes?"

Josuke feigned shock, clearly appearing like an outsider.

Similarly, the enraged child—no, the Uchiha's most devoted—Obito sneered inwardly.

As expected, he was just a child who got lucky. He had never seen these beautiful eyes before.

She gave them to me!

This world is full of despair. A world without Rin is meaningless. A world without Rin is meaningless!

Rin, create a world with you in it, again and again!

Rin, you are my everything.

I remember every moment with Rin. This world is filled with pain.

(Obito fell into a memory.)

Mini-theater

"Rin, good morning~ Don't I look handsome today?"

Even though it was already noon, it was clear this wasn't Obito's first time being late.

Rin shot him an exasperated glance.

"You're late again, Obito!"

╯^╰

Obito sheepishly scratched his head.

His classmates around him looked on with amusement.

Kakashi, the genius boy on the same team, also looked down on Obito with disdain.

Seeing even Kakashi act like this, Obito felt indignant.

He confidently declared, "What are you guys laughing at? You don't understand anything. The future me will be very powerful!

I'm the man who will become Hokage!"

It seemed he actually succeeded.

Obito's words naturally drew laughter from the entire class.

Only Rin, his deskmate, spoke up for him.

"Don't laugh, Obito!"

(Laughing)

The mini-theater abruptly ended here.

My Rin~ Why did you kill my Rin, my beloved Rin~

It's not me who's wrong, it's this world!

Obito laughed maniacally, covering his left side, revealing only his single Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Do you know what this is? This is the power of the Uchiha!"

Josuke narrowed his eyes. So what? Who are you? Madara? Just a relic of the old era, don't come out and embarrass yourself. (This year seems to be the year of the boomerang.)

Hearing Josuke's arrogant pronouncement, Obito sneered in his heart.

Just wait, I'll show you the power of love between me and Rin.

Starting with Zero Frame, he was already so composed.

Obito clapped his hands. "Fine, fine, you don't believe me? Then I'll show you that power."

"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to discuss. It seems I have to show you how capable I am."

With that, Obito used Kamui, sucking Josuke into the couple's space, no, the Kamui dimension.

Inside the Kamui dimension, there was a deathly silence, just like Obito's current heart, without a ripple.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Josuke asked knowingly.

Obito didn't want to waste any more words with Josuke and threw a Great Fireball at him.

Josuke dodged with a Body Flicker. Then, Obito unleashed more Great Fireballs.

Josuke used Ninjutsu, Water Style: Nine Dragon Water Bullets!

This was Josuke's developed Pro version of the Water Dragon Bullet, based on the original.

It consumed more Chakra to release nine water dragons.

Josuke wouldn't have dared to play like this before, but now he had fused with Hashirama Cells.

He could use it freely.

Nine Dragon Water Bullets?

Satisfaction flickered in Obito's eyes. This child is definitely a potential asset.

He would surely be a valuable addition to my grand plan.

However...

This move wouldn't work on me.

Obito used Phasing, sending himself out of the dimension.

Josuke's Nine Dragon Water Bullets missed.

Oh?

He Phased?

You boy are quite fast at escaping. Perfect, I can proceed to the next step.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

"Water Style: Mist Servant Jutsu!"

A dozen shadow clones simultaneously cast the Mist Technique, releasing a fog much denser than what most people could produce.

Josuke began his next plan.

A certain yellow-haired pineapple once said.

"Obito, the Flying Thunder God's mark never disappears, I never told you that, did I?"

With that, Josuke started randomly placing Flying Thunder God marks without any pattern. The moment the Flying Thunder God marks touched the ground.

A Flying Thunder God mark belonging to Josuke appeared.

Then it quickly vanished.

Outside, after the Ninjutsu ended, Obito returned to the Kamui dimension.

Everything around him was a vast expanse of white.

Obito was a little confused.

What kind of technique was this?

Was it specifically designed to counter him?

Obito shook his head, these were just tricks to fool children, with such meager skills, he needed more practice.

With a wave of his large hand, the thick fog in the surrounding air dissipated, returning to normal concentration.

Obito then saw a group of Josuke clones surrounding him. What did they want?

To focus fire on him?

Just as Obito had said.

More than ten Great Fireballs flew towards Obito simultaneously.

Obito shook his head, this wouldn't do. Thus, he formed a hand seal with one hand.

Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!

In an instant, the environment of the Kamui dimension was transformed into a forest.

Obito could freely control the trees within the forest, and all the vines attacked Josuke.

A troublesome opponent.

Josuke thought to himself, the key was that he couldn't use his Mangekyo Sharingan.

If he used it, wouldn't it be even worse?

He probably wouldn't be calming Sasuke down right now, but rather intending to kill Sasuke.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation"

Flames continuously burned the encroaching branches, and the branches kept growing back, until they were all burned away.

"Hoo..."

Man, my throat's about to go up in smoke, Josuke finally finished burning everything.

However, Obito's assault had only just begun.
