Shattered Obito

"B-Big Brother." Itachi's body stiffened.

He had already forgotten how long it had been since Big Brother had made such an affectionate gesture toward him.

He only remembered that when he was young, he used to cling to Big Brother, but because of the war, Big Brother spent less and less time at home.

By the time the war ended, they could no longer find that old feeling between them.

"Come on, come with me to the New World. I need you, and the Uchiha Clan needs you. You've done enough for Konoha; it's time to do something for the Uchiha."

Yoru gently patted his younger brother's shoulder, signaling him to follow.

Itachi nodded at the words, acknowledging his brother's statement.

He really did need to go see this so-called New World for himself, not for any other reason, but to confirm whether the village and the clan truly had no more intersection.

Regardless, making over a thousand people disappear from Konoha was truly baffling.

As for the so-called New World, he didn't really understand what it meant either; everything needed to be seen with his own eyes.

"Hey hey hey, who said you could leave? What nonsense were you just spouting? Who's Obito? Explain yourself clearly, you bastard."

On the other side, Obito, whose identity had been exposed, snapped back to reality, stubbornly blocking the group from leaving.

"Obito, don't provoke me, and don't provoke the Uchiha Clan. I don't care if you want to destroy this hopeless world or create a world with Rin—do whatever you want. We're leaving this world anyway, and everything you do has nothing to do with the Uchiha anymore."

Yoru stopped, stared at Obito, who was getting increasingly addicted to wearing that spiral mask, and spoke word by word.

Preparing to lead the Uchiha Clan out of this world, Yoru had no more scruples. He wasn't planning to be some behind-the-scenes boss in the Hokage's world, so what did he care about spoilers or not?

If pushed too far, he'd just take a detour to the Land of Rain first and spoil all of Obito's little schemes to Nagato.

Then see how they could keep playing their games.

"Who the hell are you? How do you know all this?"

Hearing the name "Rin," Obito's voice instantly dropped low. He no longer had any intention of hiding, instead glaring at Yoru with a dark face.

Impossible. No one in the entire Ninja World should know his identity.

"What, you rat hiding in the shadows want to tangle with me?"

Yoru laughed. His eyes instantly turned blood-red, unique patterns spinning endlessly in his pupils as he stared fixedly at Obito.

After awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan with Space-Time powers, Uchiha Yoru feared Obito the least.

This guy's most annoying trait was that he couldn't be killed; his actual strength wasn't anything special. His favorite method was sucking people into his Alternate Dimension and starving them until they collapsed.

Yoru was genuinely curious—whether Obito's Space-Time was stronger, or his own eyes, which could open doors to different worlds, had superior Space-Time abilities.

Faced with Uchiha Yoru's undisguised provocation and those eyes filled with unknown power—the Mangekyo Sharingan—Obito's expression under the mask darkened enough to drip water.

Not only did the other party know his true identity, but he was even fully aware of core secrets like "creating a New World." This had completely exceeded his control and understanding.

This feeling of being completely seen through brought him a long-unfelt panic and rage.

"It seems... you know too much. Those eyes, and you yourself—none of you can stay!"

Obito's voice turned icy, losing its earlier mockery.

The space around him began to twist violently. His form spun and vanished on the spot, then abruptly appeared behind Uchiha Yoru.

He reached out his right hand toward Yoru's shoulder, a powerful suction force surging toward Uchiha Yoru—it was his Mangekyo ability, "Kamui"!

"Watch out!" Fugaku and Itachi shouted warnings almost simultaneously, both instantly activating their Mangekyo Sharingan as well.

Four pairs of Mangekyo, each containing terrifying power, confronted each other in the same space. Invisible pupil power clashed, making the air itself seem to freeze.

"Good! Let me see—is your 'Kamui' stronger, or is my 'Amenomikado' superior!"

Yoru spun around, the patterns in his eyes spinning wildly. The space in front of him wasn't being sucked into Kamui's dimension; instead, like a boulder thrown into still water, it produced violent, opposite-direction distortions and ripples!

Whoosh—!

The two top-tier Space-Time forces collided fiercely, yet no earth-shattering roar erupted—only a teeth-grinding, eerie sound as if space itself was being torn apart.

The tables, chairs, and tatami mats in the room were ripped, deformed, and finally reduced to dust by the invisible forces in this silent struggle.

Obito let out a muffled grunt. He felt his Kamui power crash into a wall that was both impenetrable and rebounding. Not only could he not suck the other in, but his own pupil power was draining rapidly, and his spatial passage had become extremely unstable.

"Impossible! How can you..."

Obito couldn't believe it. His Kamui had always been unstoppable. Today, for the first time, he was losing in a pure Space-Time confrontation?

"Nothing is impossible. Your 'Kamui' is attached to this world's Alternate Dimension, but my 'Amenomikado' connects to the 'gaps' and 'other worlds' outside this world.

Our levels are different!"

Yoru shouted loudly, two lines of bloody tears streaming from his eyes, clearly bearing a huge burden as well, but the light in his eyes burned ever brighter.

Clang!

Just as Obito and Yoru remained locked in stalemate, Itachi also made his move.

A longsword stabbed at the defenseless Obito from an extremely tricky angle.

The unstable space prevented Obito from phasing through, so he dared not be careless and could only dodge Itachi's attack in time.

After a brief exchange, Obito, who was not skilled in taijutsu, found himself somewhat flustered.

Once Yoru put away his Mangekyo's ability, Obito stopped dodging, his single eye behind the mask fixed intently on Itachi.

"Itachi, is this how you treat an ally?"

Hearing this, Itachi remained completely unmoved, his longsword continuing its assault.

It mercilessly pierced through Obito's body.

But the sensation transmitted through the blade made Itachi furrow his brow almost imperceptibly.

There was no feeling of cutting through solid flesh.

He dodged it.

"This guy's Mangekyo is also a Space-Time ability, letting him phase into an Alternate Dimension. He only becomes tangible when he attacks. With his current skill, the phasing lasts at most five minutes; after that, it wears off."

Seeing Obito putting on an act again, Uchiha Yoru on the side ruthlessly exposed all his secrets.

"How the hell do you know even that?!"

Obito glared viciously at Uchiha Yoru, itching to charge forward and kill him.

But scanning the area, glancing at Fugaku's restless eyes behind him, facing a total of three pairs of Mangekyo, reason told him now was not the time to act rashly.

"My left eye is Space-Time, my right eye has prophecy. There's nothing in the entire Ninja World I don't know. What, not happy? Then suck it up. If you've got the guts, call Madara out to fight me."

Yoru taunted without mercy.
