"What? How could you possibly know that?!" Obito's pupils constricted sharply as he exclaimed in disbelief.

Previously, he could attribute Naruto's knowledge of various secrets to the contingency plans left behind by his old man, the Yellow Flash!

But what about now? How could Naruto possibly have such an intimate grasp of the limits of his Kamui intangibility?!

Obito would stake his life on the fact that, aside from himself, not a single soul knew about the time limit of his Kamui!

Not even the real Madara Uchiha or Black Zetsu knew anything about it!

At this thought, Obito immediately roared, "Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails! Where on earth did you learn this from!"

Hearing this, a hint of playfulness flashed in Naruto's eyes as he chuckled, "Give me that Mangekyō of yours, and I'll tell you~"

"Brat! You dare toy with me again!" Obito was instantly incensed. Give his Kamui to Naruto? What a joke! Without his Mangekyō, he probably wouldn't even be able to defeat Kakashi...

"Then keep racking your brain over it..." Naruto waved his hand dismissively, then lowered his voice, "I know other secrets of yours, too!"

The moment the words left his lips.

Hum!

Obito's body shuddered violently, a trace of terror leaking into his eyes as he stared fixedly at Naruto.

Other secrets—could it be my true identity? Could he already know about my entire plan?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Obito hurriedly forced his inner anxieties down, then made a split-second decision: he had to retreat! He could not afford to keep entangling himself with this mysterious Naruto any longer!

Otherwise, the moment his intangibility expired, it would surely be his end!

The next instant.

Whoosh!

Obito's body flickered, and he vanished instantly, body-flickering into the distance.

"As long as I step outside the range of his Flying Thunder God Kunai, I'll immediately activate Kamui and slip into the dimension!" Obito whispered to himself.

However, what he didn't expect was!

Swish! A violent gust of wind surged at his side; a figure was actually keeping pace with him!

It was Naruto! A look of contempt even hung at the corners of his mouth.

Obito was shocked; he knew Naruto was determined to see him dead!

He was just waiting for his intangibility to end and his physical form to manifest so he could immediately unleash a Flying Thunder God Rasengan and deliver a fatal blow!

Yet, his speed was far inferior to Naruto's, and he had no chance of winning in a direct confrontation!

Unless he risked it all!

Thinking of this, Obito glared at the Naruto beside him, a streak of scarlet light erupting from his Mangekyō.

Obito's right hand quietly opened behind his back, and terrifying Kamui ocular power surged silently into his palm. His right hand turned pitch-black as ink, radiating a suffocating space-time pressure!

The next moment.

"Die!" Obito's face twisted into a snarl as he violently lunged his right hand toward the Naruto at his side!

"Kamui: Instant Grasp!"

Swish, swish, swish! An unfathomable, massive black vortex erupted wildly from his palm, instantly engulfing Naruto, while Obito simultaneously deactivated his own intangibility.

This was Obito's fatal strike, sacrificing his physical defense to concentrate his Kamui ocular power into his right hand!

The vortex's devouring speed was four to five times faster than usual!

This was a counter-technique Obito had painstakingly researched after repeatedly reviewing his battle against the Fourth Hokage.

Although he still felt uneasy using it in a head-on confrontation, it was undoubtedly a guaranteed kill when used for a surprise attack at such close range!

Sure enough, in a flash.

Shoo! The vortex completely swallowed Naruto, dragging him into the Kamui dimension!

I won?!

Obito stared blankly at the scene of Naruto being sucked in, unable to process it for a moment.

But immediately after.

He threw his head back and laughed wildly, his pupils flashing with extreme excitement.

"Hahahaha... I won! I've overcome the Flying Thunder God! I won..."

However, before Obito could finish his celebration.

Suddenly, the next instant.

Shoo! A Flying Thunder God Kunai tore through the air from behind, its speed so great that it reached the back of Obito's head in an instant.

"What?!" Obito's laughter was cut short. Feeling a chill strike from behind, he hurriedly tried to turn around.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Clang! A black-gold light erupted behind him, and Naruto's mocking voice rang out instantly.

"Yo! You're so happy to have absorbed one of my Shadow Clones?"

"What! A Shadow Clone?!" Obito's pupils constricted violently. He finally realized that the Naruto he had just sucked into the Kamui dimension was merely a Shadow Clone!

Obito's face turned deathly pale with fright. He hurriedly tried to activate his Kamui intangibility, but unfortunately, the ocular power consumed by that previous grab had forced Kamui into a brief cooldown period!

This meant that, right now, Obito was completely tangible!

The next instant.

Naruto's voice rang out once again right beside Obito's ear.

"This is the Flying Thunder God! Rasengan!"

In a split second.

Hiss! Obito felt a familiar surge of chakra fluctuations from his back—it was the same aura as the Rasengan his own teacher had once used to cap him!

Sure enough, the very next moment!

BOOM! A terrifying force of destruction descended upon Obito's torso. The clothes in that area were instantly pulverized, followed by a relentless barrage against his flesh that emitted a series of chilling, thunderous sounds.

"AAAAAAH!" Obito let out a wail of agony that echoed through the surroundings.

It was a dirge of blood and flesh, a humiliation of being struck by the same technique again after several decades!

Following that.

Bang! Obito was blasted directly into the ground by the terrifying momentum of the Rasengan, creating a bottomless crater as clouds of dust filled the area.

[Rasengan injured Uchiha Obito, Villain Points +293!]

Naruto's true body reappeared at this moment. With a mocking smile on his face, he looked down at the crater and spoke, "Whoever invented the Shadow Clone technique is a true genius! Even the Mangekyō can't see through it!"

Second Hokage: You're welcome!

As the words fell.

Naruto slowly walked into the crater, teasing as he approached: "To be hit by a Rasengan twice, should I call you stupid, or just plain stupid? Forget it, let me carry on the legacy of Kamui!"

However, the very moment Naruto's voice faded.

Hiss! A surge of incredibly terrifying ocular power erupted from the crater. It wasn't the aura of a Mangekyō, but a far more bizarre and extreme ocular power!

The next moment.

Bang! A puff of smoke exploded behind Naruto, and Obito emerged from it. His large hand, imbued with the terrifying power of space-time, reached out ruthlessly toward Naruto!

"Learning from me, a sneak attack from behind?!" Naruto gave a disdainful laugh; he had been prepared.

Whoosh! A flash of black-gold light flickered as the Flying Thunder God technique activated. Naruto instantly moved away from Obito, reappearing at the location of another Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Naruto looked at Obito and, seeing him completely unscathed, couldn't help but frown.

But then, a thought crossed his mind and he relaxed, smiling as he said: "At the very moment the Rasengan was about to hit, you used the price of blindness to trigger Izanagi and forcibly rewrite reality, didn't you?!"

Hearing this, Obito was stunned, but his face immediately darkened like water as he coldly replied: "Brat, you know quite a lot! You win this time! I will surely pay you back tenfold in the future!"

As he finished speaking, Obito immediately activated Kamui.

Swish! A space-time vortex suddenly emerged, preparing to swallow him whole.

This time, Naruto did not stop him.

He simply wore a mocking expression and whispered softly.

"Teacher Kakashi is all alone, it's truly pitiful! I must do something! That's right, that is..."

As he said this, Naruto's eyes flashed with extreme mockery, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled high.

"That is, Reanimate his former comrade, Rin Nohara..."

Crack! The Kamui vortex cut off instantly!
