The proud vortex of Kamui dissipated completely the moment Naruto finished speaking.
Hum! Obito's entire body trembled violently, his face beneath the mask already consumed by a savage expression, and his Mangekyō Sharingan were bloodshot—he was clearly overheating.
Following that.
Obito's eyes flickered with endless killing intent as he stared at Naruto, his cold voice laced with a hint of a tremor: "Brat, what did you just say?!"
He simply could not believe his ears; he never imagined Naruto would say such a thing!
Upon hearing this, however, a playful glint flickered in Naruto's eyes as he replied, "Senior Madara~ why are you asking about this? This is none of your business!"
Having said that, Naruto waved his hand at Obito as if shooing him away: "Go on now! I'm not going to capture you anymore. I have to finish my teacher's happy life event first!"
"What?!" Obito's rage instantly soared; what did he mean it was none of his business!
Rin was his! She was his for a lifetime! This was absolutely his business!
Just as he was about to lash out at Naruto, Obito suddenly realized that his current identity was Madara Uchiha, and he forced himself to suppress the agitation in his heart.
He continued in a cold voice: "I am merely curious why you would suddenly say such things in the middle of a battle!"
The moment the words left his lips, Obito's pupils constricted violently; the previous anger had caused him to lose his composure, but now he sensed something was wrong!
Why would Naruto suddenly bring this up? The answer was practically screaming at him! He must have recognized his true identity!
But how could that be possible?! Even his father hadn't noticed at the time; how could Naruto possibly know?!
Thinking of this, Obito clenched his fists, his gaze locked onto Naruto, desperate to extract the answer from him.
However.
Naruto simply waved his hand and chuckled softly: "It's nothing! It's just that seeing you also have a Sharingan reminded me of Kakashi-sensei!"
Naruto rested his chin on his hand, pondering: "Besides, Kakashi-sensei is immersed in Icha Icha Paradise every single day... so, I decided to use the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu to bring his companion back to this world to stay by his side and help him break that habit."
"..." Obito fell into silence upon hearing this, but he felt a wave of relief in his heart, secretly rejoicing that Naruto hadn't seen through his disguise and was merely acting on a whim.
Seeing a Sharingan and thinking of Kakashi—that was perfectly normal...
It must be said, Obito's way of thinking truly lived up to his reputation as the only "idiot" of the Uchiha clan!
Subsequently.
Obito's eyes shimmered with coldness as he spoke coldly once more: "A brat spouting nonsense, claiming you want to use the Impure World Reincarnation on Kakashi's companion? Do you even possess the Impure World Reincarnation?"
"Whether I can or not, what does that have to do with you?" Naruto's tone carried a hint of mockery.
Damn it! That accursed Uzumaki Naruto.
I should have stuffed more explosive tags into you the moment you were born and blown you to bits!
Obito was seething with uncontrollable rage, cursing wildly in his heart.
However, after some internal deliberation, he gradually regained his calm.
Setting aside whether Naruto could actually perform the Impure World Reincarnation, he had no way of finding the cells of Rin required for the jutsu!
After all, he had kept Rin's body safely hidden away!
Thinking of this, the anger in Obito's eyes faded, replaced by a look of arrogance: "Brat! I have been silently watching every move in the ninja world. The girl you speak of using for the Impure World Reincarnation—I recall her body is nowhere to be found! What could you possibly do..."
However, Obito hadn't even finished his sentence.
"Kakashi-sensei took us to her house personally before! Nobody has cleaned it, and there is hair everywhere..." Naruto interrupted Obito directly, spouting nonsense.
Yet, his nonsense happened to hit the mark...
Hum! Obito's entire body trembled again, his pupils filled with terror, and his face beneath the mask twitched uncontrollably!
That's right! Ever since Rin died, her bedroom in Konoha has been left untouched; many strands of her hair must still be there!
If Naruto managed to get even one strand, he would allow his beloved Rin to descend upon this world once more through the Impure World Reincarnation and stay by Kakashi's side!
No! Absolutely not! I cannot let such a thing happen!
Thinking of this, Obito made a split-second decision and channeled his Kamui.
Whoosh! A space-time vortex instantly surged forth, and on the other end was none other than Konoha!
Obito intended to reach the house before Naruto could collect the hair and destroy it... no, he would carefully hide it away!
Everything about Rin was so wonderful; even her farts were fragrant. Her hair, even after ten years of wind and rain, would surely still be fragrant!
Obito couldn't wait to step into the Kamui vortex and rush to Konoha.
However, just at that moment.
"Hey! Senior Madara, wait!" Naruto suddenly shouted, stopping Obito, then reached his right hand into his pocket and smiled: "I actually happened to collect the hair already; it's in my pocket right now. Senior Madara, since I've told you so much, you might as well be a witness!"
As he spoke, Naruto put on a show and created a shadow clone.
The moment the clone appeared, it performed the Flying Thunder God and vanished in a flash.
Naruto then said with a hint of apology: "Sorry about that! I sent my clone to grab a bandit from a nearby mountain to serve as a living sacrifice; please bear with me for a moment!"
It must be said, this trick of Naruto's might have failed if used against anyone else...
But against Obito, it was like taking candy from a baby, playing him completely into the palm of his hand!
At this moment.
Obito felt as if he were falling into a bottomless abyss, despair surging into his heart; it was as if all the strength had been drained from his knees, and he was on the verge of collapsing to the ground!
Rin, was she truly to be brought back by this brat using Impure World Reincarnation, only to keep Kakashi company?
He wanted to intervene! But his strength was simply insufficient to stop what Naruto was doing!
Pain! It was too painful!
However, a sliver of hope still remained in Obito's heart, and he attempted to awaken Naruto's conscience.
Thus, he immediately adopted the tone of a senior and scolded, "Uzumaki Naruto! This technique is nothing short of a desecration of the dead! Do you even deserve to be called a ninja?!"
After speaking, Obito clenched his small fists, hoping with all his might that these words would make Naruto see the light and turn back from his misguided path!
It was a pity, however, that our Uzumaki Naruto had already lost his conscience...
Naruto acted as if he hadn't heard a word Obito said.
On the contrary, a glint of extreme mockery flickered in his pupils, and he spoke with a feigned, pretentious air.
"How about this! Once I finish the Impure World Reincarnation on Senior Rin, I'll have her and Teacher Kakashi..."
"Get married!!!"
As Naruto's voice fell.
The scene.
Silence! A deathly, suffocating silence!
Thud! Obito could finally no longer bear the immense agony; he slumped onto the ground, endless suffering flooding his heart as tears welled up within his Mangekyō.
At this moment, the world seemed to turn a shade of gray...
The sky had collapsed! Obito's world had completely fallen apart!
