"Kanami, what happened to him?"

Jiraiya, pale-faced, weakly asked.

He looked at the masked man in front of him, whose posture was somewhat unsteady, and wondered what had happened.

Would a mere mention of killing his master and mistress be such a shock to someone like him?

Jiraiya quite understand.

According to the intelligence he gathered, every member of the Akatsuki Organization was missing-nin from various villages who had killed countless people.

He's a ruthless killer, how could he possibly lose his composure over a single insult from Kanami?

"It's nothing, I just told him what he had done, and then he broke down."

Kanami responded calmly.

He didn't provide much information, so it's understandable that Jiraiya couldn't immediately connect it to the Nine-Tails Attack.

"I'm asking you, who exactly are you?"

Obito's face darkened, and the one eye exposed outside his mask turned crimson.

"Didn't you investigate me? My name is Kanami."

"No, you are not Kanami, you are definitely not the age you are showing now! You couldn't possibly know what happened back then!"

Obito's tone was flustered.

Before meeting Kanami, he had always regarded Kanami as a minor variable that suddenly appeared and could not possibly affect his overall plan.

But after this meeting, he realized that he had been careless and that the years had made him too dull and complacent.

The Kanami before us is definitely more than just the basic information that Black Zetsu found out.

If we're talking about age, Kanami and Naruto in the same year. That means when Obito unleashed the Nine-Tails at the age of fourteen to kill Minato Namikaze, Kanami was at most less than a year old.

After Obito killed Minato Namikaze, and left, no one knew who the masked man was.

Now they're telling him that his true identity was discovered by a one-year-old baby back then, and no one would believe that.

They would only suspect Kanami's true identity.

Especially since Obito himself impersonated Madara Uchiha and traveled the Shinobi World, it's not impossible that the "mysterious person" in front of us is also traveling the Shinobi World under the name of Kanami.

"Is the stress response that strong?"

"It seems you still don't really want to face the fact that you killed your master and mistress."

Kanami spoke casually.

The more casual he acted, the Obito Uchiha became.

Variable!

"No matter who you are, you cannot live today!"

As he spoke, Obito Uchiha charged towards Kanami.

"Watch out!" Jiraiya exclaimed, instinctively wanting to shield Kanami.

Kanami frowned. "If you still have a way to use the Summoning Jutsu, tell the Toad of Mount Myōboku to use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu on you, and don't stay here."

Jiraiya is not only unable to help Kanami now, but is even a burden.

Kanami knew Obito's abilities, giving him a natural advantage in intelligence, while Jiraiya knew nothing, and being unable to Hand Seals or enter Sage Mode, his combat power was even weaker.

Jiraiya nodded bitterly. "I understand."

He could understand the meaning behind Kanami's words.

He's getting in the way.

However, he is currently unable to use Summoning Jutsu, and the number of Ninjutsu he can Hand Seals is limited, which does not include Summoning Jutsu.

He leaped into the distance, forming hand Hand Seals in mid-air to unleash the same Sensory Barrier Ninjutsu as before, covering Obito Uchiha, Kanami, and himself within it.

As long as he knows the locations of both sides, he won't be ambushed and won't become a burden to Kanami.

Kanami sensed Jiraiya's location but didn't say anything more.

Judging from the other party's behavior, it is most likely that they are unable to contact the Toad of Mount Myōboku.

"Do you even have time to care about others?"

Obito's eerie voice echoed in Kanami's ears, and then his right hand, gloved with black, reached out to grab Kanami.

Even if you possess the teacher's signature Ninjutsu Flying Thunder God Technique, so what? At only fifteen years old, can you possibly be faster than the teacher?

Obito is no longer the same person he used to be. He's not the same person who was a step behind back then, and who was easily dodged by Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique - Second Step Rasengan being severely injured by Minato's Rasengan.

"Got you?"

But the next second, whoosh!

Kanami's figure vanished in an instant.

Obito's pupils twitched instantly.

How is this possible! This Flying Thunder God Technique's activation speed is comparable to a teacher's!

No, that's not right!

My speed is nowhere near what it used to be!

The guy in front of me is faster than my teacher was in life!

Where will it be?

Did they escape, or are they still nearby?

In an instant, Obito's brain started working frantically.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out where Kanami was.

"You caught it again?"

Kanami's indifferent voice came from behind him, while his Chakra rapidly surged through the barriers according to the Eight Inner Gates!

Obito Uchiha's expression changed instantly.

Behind!

Why are you appearing behind me again?!

"Etherealization!"

The first door Gate of Opening, the second door Gate of Healing... the Sixth Gate of View!

Instantly, Kanami's skin glowed red, and the ribbons binding his hair were blown away, sending him flying backward!

Suddenly, he clenched his long, slender fingers into a fist and slammed it down hard towards Obito Uchiha's back!

"Bang--!"

With just one punch, Obito Uchiha coughed up blood, and the bones in his waist cracked loudly as he slammed heavily into the sea.

He blasted the seawater more than ten meters high like a cannonball!

Just like back then, when he thinks he has the upper hand, that's when he reveals his weakness.

"Splash--"

The swelled seawater receded.

Kanami stood on the sea level, his red hair moving without wind.

The raindrops falling from Amegakure couldn't wet Kanami, who was opening the Sixth Gate, the Gate of View.

"This...!"

Jiraiya some distance away, gaped, completely dumbfounded.

Judging from the opponent's aggressive demeanor, it seemed that the two would have to go through at least several rounds before a winner could be determined.

But the result was that Kanami blasted the masked man in front of him into the sea with just one punch in an instant.

You're a total pervert!

Thankfully, this freakish guy is from the Konoha faction...

If he were to encounter an enemy like Kanami, he wouldn't know how to fight him at all!

Soon, after calming down a bit Jiraiya looked at Kanami's appearance and frowned.

He recognized that Kanami was using the Eight Inner Gates.

His body can actually withstand the Eight Inner Gates!

Other people's signature Ninjutsu is a one-trick pony that gets them used to conquer the world.

I absolutely don't understand Kanami's stuff!

A casual start can define an ordinary person's entire life!

No, it should be said that a lifetime of geniuses starting from any point!

The God of Shinobi's legendary Wood Release!

The Yellow Flash Flying Thunder God Technique of the Fourth Hokage Minato!

Might Duy Genin, opened the Eight Gates Released Formation Eight Gates: Gate of Death) and killed nearly half of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Eight Inner Gates Mist. Those who survived managed to escape by fleeing for their lives!

Each of these is an enviable Ninjutsu, yet it appeared in Kanami alone!

Kanami only opened the Sixth Gate, the Gate of View.

This is because the Seventh Gate, the Gate of Wonder and the Gate of Death, require the evaporation of a large amount of sweat and blood from the human body. At this moment, Kanami, who is merely Wood Clone, can only open the Sixth Gate, the Gate of View.

Shadow Clone, which disappear after taking one hit, are mostly unable to even open a single gate.

Because opening the Eight Gates means that the body will be damaged.

At this moment, Kanami kept his eyes fixed on the sea surface and did not deactivate the Gate of View.

He spoke slowly, "You're not dead yet, are you? Former top of the birth list."
