"Karin, come with me."
After leaving the academy, Yun Xi returned home directly to find Karin.
"Okay, Brother Yun Xi."
Karin set down the bowl in her hand; seeing Yun Xi so anxious the moment he returned, she didn't ask any questions.
She followed directly in Yun Xi's footsteps until they reached the border of the Hidden Leaf Village.
"As expected, have they already begun to move?"
Looking at the border of the Hidden Leaf Village, there was not a single shadow of the Konoha Guard Force to be seen.
Yun Xi's expression grew irritable; he hadn't expected that before four o'clock in the afternoon, the Uchiha Clan would already be preparing to go to war with the upper echelons of Konoha!
"Karin, search for anyone within Konoha who possesses a massive amount of chakra."
Realizing that there wasn't much time left, Yun Xi no longer hesitated.
He instructed Karin to find the temporary hiding place of Obito.
"I've found them, Brother Yun Xi. Besides you, there are three people in total with massive amounts of chakra."
Fortunately, Karin's sensory abilities were exceptionally powerful; within a few minutes, she had covered the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
She quickly located several people with abnormally large chakra reserves.
"Tell me where those people are."
Yun Xi naturally understood who these three people were.
They were undoubtedly the Third Hokage, Naruto who carried the Nine-Tails, and Obito who had already infiltrated the Hidden Leaf Village.
"One is in the Civilian District, and the other two are near the Hokage Building."
Faced with Yun Xi's question, Karin told him the specific locations of the three individuals.
"Both of them are near the Hokage Building?"
After hearing Karin's words, a look of confusion appeared on Yun Xi's face.
At first, he had assumed that Obito would hide on the outskirts of the Hidden Leaf Village.
He never expected that Obito would come directly to the center of the village!
"I understand. Karin, go home first, and don't come out once night falls."
Having grasped the situation, Yun Xi prepared to go find Obito, while simultaneously warning Karin to stay safely at home and not to come out.
"Can't you take me with you?"
Karin clearly already knew of Yun Xi's plan; she didn't want to go home alone and wanted to fight alongside him.
But Yun Xi shook his head and said, "You cannot get involved in this battle. Wait for me at home."
Looking at Yun Xi's resolute gaze, Karin could only nod helplessly.
She then took the initiative to head home...
As for Yun Xi, he went alone to the vicinity of the Hokage Building to monitor Obito, while waiting for the arrival of night.
As night fell, the once bustling and lively Hidden Leaf Village gradually quieted down.
The civilians on the streets seemed to sense an unusual atmosphere in the air and returned home early.
There were not many people on the Konoha Main Street, save for a few squads of the Uchiha Clan's Police Force still patrolling the streets.
However, Yun Xi, hidden in the shadows, could still see a trace of tension on the faces of these Uchiha clansmen serving in the Police Force.
At the same time, Yun Xi also noticed that the Root Division, which usually would not appear easily, was frequently appearing near the Hidden Leaf Village.
The entire Hidden Leaf Village was peaceful, yet it exuded a strange, eerie atmosphere.
"Third Hokage, what exactly are you thinking..."
Looking at the scene before him, Yun Xi had some questions in his heart.
Yun Xi knew that Danzo wanted to eradicate the Uchiha Clan.
But he still couldn't understand why the moderate Third Hokage would not step in to stop this matter.
Instead, he was tacitly allowing it to happen.
Although he had intended to resolve the conflict between the Konoha upper echelons and the Uchiha Clan through peaceful means, Yun Xi had not discovered any plans regarding the Third Hokage.
It was as if the Third Hokage were an outsider...
"BOOM!"
Just as Yun Xi was pondering what role the Third Hokage was playing in this incident, a massive explosion suddenly rang out not far away.
It shattered Yun Xi's train of thought...
"Has it begun?"
Watching the fire and hearing the commotion in the distance, Yun Xi realized that the Uchiha Clan's rebellion had officially commenced.
Suddenly, a dark shadow surged out from the vicinity of the Hokage Building.
Yun Xi instantly activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Relying on his exceptional dynamic vision, Yun Xi confirmed that it was Obito.
He was also the Masked Man that Uchiha Itachi had spoken of!
"You've finally appeared, Obito!"
The moment Obito appeared, Yun Xi made his move; he had to stop him.
At the very least, he could not allow him to successfully carry out this plan.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
A massive fireball condensed in Yun Xi's mouth, and in the next second, it rapidly struck toward Obito, who was in mid-air!
"What?"
Faced with the sudden attack, Obito was somewhat shocked.
"Kamui."
However, Obito had no time to spare for contemplation; faced with the surprise assault, he used Kamui directly to evade Yun Xi's attack.
"Who are you!"
Seeing Yun Xi, who was using the Transformation Technique, a trace of doubt appeared on Obito's face.
Especially upon seeing the Mangekyo Sharingan in Yun Xi's left eye, Obito was filled with shock.
Because, to his knowledge, there were not many people in the entire Uchiha family who could activate the Mangekyo Sharingan.
But there was definitely no one like the person attacking him right now!
"Hehe, I don't want to tell you."
Faced with Obito's inquiry, Yun Xi took a rare moment to be playful, then moved at extreme speed to appear behind Obito.
He prepared to launch his next attack.
But Obito had clearly anticipated that Yun Xi was about to strike, and the moment Yun Xi moved, Obito vacated his original position.
Yun Xi's attack naturally missed its mark.
"As expected of the man who can teleport, you are strong!"
Facing Obito's Sharingan ability, Yun Xi felt a twinge of envy.
Although its offensive power wasn't particularly high, its overall utility was even better than his own Amaterasu.
Whether in terms of offense or evasion, it was truly excellent.
"How do you know about my ability?"
Hearing Yun Xi's words, Obito could no longer hold back.
Between the Mangekyo Sharingan in his left eye and his uncanny intelligence, Yun Xi's appearance had already caused his plan to deviate.
He had to eliminate this variable, Yun Xi!
"Fire Style: Blast Wave Wild Dance!"
The moment Obito attacked, he used his signature jutsu.
This was a technique that utilized Kamui to distort the surrounding space and create a violent storm, followed by the expulsion of a massive Snake of fire to attack; it had a wide range and an extremely fast attack speed.
"Indeed, there are no weaklings among Kage-level powerhouses!"
Seeing Obito's attack, Yun Xi gradually became serious.
"Heaven Curse Mark: State Two."
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly activated the Heaven Curse Mark: State Two mode.
Although he relied on his extreme speed to dodge the brunt of Obito's jutsu, the edge of the Blast Wave Wild Dance still grazed him, causing Yun Xi to sustain some injuries.
"Amaterasu!"
Taking advantage of the momentum after being struck, Yun Xi rose and launched an Amaterasu directly at Obito, intending to retaliate.
However, when Obito saw Yun Xi's Amaterasu, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
He clearly remembered that Amaterasu could only be released by Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan.
Faced with the menacing Amaterasu, Obito did not dare to take it head-on.
After using Kamui to dodge Yun Xi's attack, he asked, "Who exactly are you, and why are your Sharingan ocular powers the same as Itachi's?"
"Or should I say, are you Uchiha Itachi?"
