New Power

Unable to even commit suicide?

Suicide?

This sudden realization left Obito momentarily stunned. He reached out, intending to draw a Shuriken, but another thought in his mind kept incessantly stopping him.

Since when?

Since when had this situation begun?

Yun looked at Obito: "So, can this piece of intelligence be traded for a chip?"

Intelligence?

The word, appearing several times, jolted Obito into sudden wakefulness. As he looked at the dark shadow before him, he thought of a disgusting figure.

"Uzumaki Sora?"

Ugh!

The sudden interrogation left Yun feeling somewhat awkward. Things had been proceeding quite smoothly; why had he suddenly asked about this?

Obito did not wait for the shadow to answer, smiling as he continued: "Exchanging intelligence for chips to obtain the other party's talent or ability—so that's how it is? You traded my intelligence to obtain the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Jutsu?"

"A single Flying Thunder God Jutsu certainly isn't enough! You must know that if I had succeeded two years ago, Kushina would have died, and the Nine Tails would have destroyed most of Konoha."

"Under such circumstances, the deal between Namikaze Minato and you would never have been equal. So, how many chips did you get from him? And how much power did you exchange for?"

The wind swept past, scattering and then gathering the leaves. Yun, transformed into a dark shadow, replied calmly: "Just because it's an intelligence trade, you assume I am Uzumaki Sora?"

Obito sneered: "Not only that, but there is also that severed arm of mine. Looking at the situation two years ago, you must have taken a risk to obtain that arm."

"After all, with Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Fugaku, and a Kakashi capable of using Mangekyou power... even for you, having obtained the Flying Thunder God, it should have been considered a risk."

"Hashirama Cells are not exactly friendly!"

...The scene remained silent for a long time...

After a while, Yun shook his head slightly and said: "You have too many questions. If you don't provide a chip, I have no obligation to answer you."

"So, Obito, you who are only standing on the second layer, do you want to know what I mentioned before?"

The white clouds in the sky gathered into the character [Truth]. Obito looked up and said: "Now that I know you are Uzumaki Sora, do you think I will still give you a chip?"

As he spoke, the Mangekyou in Obito's eye sockets rotated: "What you want is this pair of eyes, isn't it?"

Yun looked at Obito and said: "As of now, this is indeed the only thing about you that can pique my interest."

A light breeze blew several leaves onto Nohara Rin's Memorial Stone. Yun squatted down and swept the leaves away.

Only then did he say in a low voice: "After learning the truth, will you avenge the real Nohara Rin, or will you continue to ignore it? False things can fill your emptiness, but you refuse to understand the real hatred."

"Can you forget by burying your head in the dirt? Or have you forgotten what that girl did for you back then? The only girl who believed that the dead-last Uchiha Obito could become Hokage."

As his voice fell, Uchiha Obito's expression grew even gloomier.

His hand, pressing against his left eye, tightened involuntarily. The truth about Rin, the truth about his own body.

The ability of that eye... the cooldown time is too long.

The ability to pierce through the future, having been used once by Fugaku, could not be used a second time in the next ten years, even if he, possessing Hashirama Cells, were to drain it dry.

Two pieces of intelligence, I've been cornered...

But in fact, regarding the intelligence about myself, is it Madara?

True hatred and illusory goals—Rin, besides the Hidden Mist, who else caused your death?

Obito's hands clenched into fists. He looked up slightly, staring at Yun, who had transformed into a dark shadow: "One chip. Tell me how to undo the tricks Madara played on my body."

This answer surprised Yun slightly: "Have you already guessed it? It is indeed quite easy to guess. You yourself spent a period of time with Uchiha Madara, who is on the third layer of the nesting doll."

"However, do you intend to find the truth about Rin's death yourself? It seems that pair of Fugaku's eyes has had an unpredictable effect."

Obito's gaze narrowed: "Didn't you guess it too? This is all thanks to you selling my intelligence, which allowed me to obtain those eyes by a stroke of coincidence."

It really is the butterfly effect...

I couldn't be sure if Fugaku's original eyes were Mangekyou; after all, there is a difference between the TV original and the manga.

Did the Fourth hide it when asked?

Yun sighed. In an instant, many things became clear.

Fugaku, hiding the power of the Mangekyou, had always wavered between two choices. The so-called ability to see through the future required active activation, and the abilities of the two eyes were slightly different.

One should be the one Obito used in the battle at Amegakure earlier. The cooldown time is about the same as the defensive ability of Kamui—once every five minutes—capable of predicting the opponent's movements one or two seconds in advance.

And the other...

Is it a point-based vision?

Given a foundation, it provides the subsequent future.

Such an ability would absolutely not be without limitations. Obito's right arm was made using Hashirama Body Material as the raw material, yet he was still willing to offer a chip.

From this, it can be seen that the cooldown time or the cost of this ability must be extremely huge.

"Hoo..."

Yun exhaled a breath; Fugaku living had failed to make the necessary clean break for the Uchiha, and now, even in death, he had left something behind for a lunatic like Obito.

So that's why...

Active skills are still not as good as passive ones; otherwise, with the ability to see through the future, how could he have been killed by a sneak attack?

"Sign the contract."

As Yun's voice fell, a contract appeared before Obito.

Obito examined the contract in his hands carefully, then looked at the shadowed figure of Yun and said, "If not for the abilities you displayed in that previous battle, I truly would not have believed that such a space could exist in the Shinobi World. Trading information for abilities, yet the original owner's power is not stripped away, merely replicated."

"This is the power of the rules!"

Yun looked at Obito: "Are you wondering if it can resurrect the dead?"

Obito shook his head slightly: "I know of the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, but I don't think Rin would want that. She was such a kind person... and I, meanwhile, am already dwelling in hell."

The atmosphere was thick with tension after Obito signed the contract.

Only then did Yun retort: "Although I do think you've had it quite miserable, there's a saying that I feel is very fitting for you right now."

Obito's gaze narrowed: "I have never needed anyone to judge my actions; even if that attempt two years ago had succeeded, it would only have been because of the reasons inherent to this world itself..."
