Embarrassed

Uchiha Obito was sent flying like a discarded rag doll, blasted away by the sheer force of the impact!

When Uchiha Obito raised his head again, half of his mask had been shattered, and he instantly used Wood Release to repair it.

However, he could no longer maintain his image of a mysterious and powerful figure in front of Uchiha Gray!

"I never expected such a powerful ninja to emerge among my descendants. You're not bad, brat; you have the qualifications to follow me!"

Uchiha Obito flew back into the high air, adopting a casual, indifferent posture as if he hadn't just been sent flying in a pathetic, disheveled state.

It was as if he had merely been testing Uchiha Gray's strength.

"Are you an idiot?"

Uchiha Gray remained calm and composed; his words lacked lethal force but carried immense insult.

He looked at Uchiha Obito as if he were staring at a complete fool.

"Are you trying to talk me into submission with that mouth of yours? I don't know who you are, but if you think you can convince me with just words, then you are far too foolish in my eyes. You'd be better off crawling back to your old era."

Uchiha Gray said coldly.

He followed this with a look of disdain, as if he were gazing at trash.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

He hadn't expected Uchiha Obito's skin to be so thick.

Even after being beaten into such a sorry state, the man could still put on such a calm, pretentious act.

Gray said, enunciating every word: "Do you think you're some child of destiny, capable of casting a 'stupidity-inducing aura' with just your tongue to make your opponent surrender mindlessly?"

The face beneath Uchiha Obito's mask turned instantly livid.

Although he didn't understand what Uchiha Gray meant by "child of destiny," "stupidity-inducing aura," or "mindless surrender," it didn't stop him from understanding the mockery in those words!

"Brat, you have thoroughly enraged me!"

Uchiha Obito roared. Uchiha Gray's strength was too terrifying; if he couldn't be subdued, he absolutely could not be left alive!

Otherwise, the Uchiha clan would soon possess three genius ninjas.

Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Gray, and Uchiha Itachi—all of them possessed the talent to become formidable ninjas.

Even more terrifying was that, through his observations over the past two days, he had discovered that both Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were incredibly close to Uchiha Gray.

There was even a subtle sense that they were following Uchiha Gray's lead!

If all three of them awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and followed Uchiha Gray's orders, no one in the Leaf could stop them.

They would absolutely become the greatest enemies of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan!

It was too terrifying; cold sweat dripped down Uchiha Obito's back at the thought of such a consequence.

"You won't have another chance to strike, because I am going to kill you right now!"

In an instant, Uchiha Obito's body vanished!

"Have you retreated your entire body into the Kamui Dimension?" Uchiha Gray's lips curled into a mocking smile.

The moment he first saw Obito, he had indeed felt a flicker of shock.

But Gray calmed down quickly.

Because before Uchiha Obito became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, while his strength was formidable, it relied mostly on the abilities of his Kamui, his physical durability, and his speed.

In his battle against Kakashi, he had used little more than Wood Release and shuriken!

Therefore, even though Uchiha Obito possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, he was not like Uchiha Shisui or the future Uchiha Itachi.

He did not possess the ability to kill him in an instant.

At the same time, Uchiha Gray suddenly realized that his current strength was already comparable to an elite Jonin.

He could handle a Kage-level powerhouse like Uchiha Obito, whose weaknesses were well-known to him!

I may not be able to defeat you, but you can't kill me either.

That was the current situation.

"Die!"

Uchiha Obito's figure suddenly flashed into existence from the void.

With a venomous glare, he gripped a kunai and thrust it viciously toward Uchiha Gray's neck!

He had abandoned ninjutsu; Uchiha Gray's speed was too great, and he had to use even greater speed to secure the kill.

Uchiha Obito's kunai was already inches from Uchiha Gray's neck.

Yet, at this moment, Gray had not reacted at all!

Because Uchiha Obito had appeared directly behind Gray's back.

This was a blind spot that any ninja would find difficult to detect!

"Uchiha Gray, no matter how much of a genius you are, you will fall here today. The Uchiha clan cannot escape the fate of total annihilation!"

Uchiha Obito demanded even greater speed.

A black shadow flashed through the air!

Uchiha Gray did not react, yet a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Did he really think the 24% template of Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit was a joke?

In an instant, Uchiha Obito's kunai passed directly through Gray's neck!

There was no sensation of piercing flesh; it simply went straight through!

But the ecstasy on Uchiha Obito's face turned into bewilderment and shock!

What was happening? Why hadn't he been able to strike Uchiha Gray?

"The one who has been arrogant from start to finish is you. In my eyes, you don't look like a ninja; you look more like a naive child."

Uchiha Gray looked at Uchiha Obito, who had passed through his body, with a mocking smile.

He kicked Uchiha Obito hard, sending him crashing into the ground.

It was a pity that the time was too short, and his mastery of the Glint-Glint Fruit template was still insufficient to instantly manifest a Light Weapon.

Otherwise, the kick he landed on Uchiha Obito would have been a Light Weapon, capable of slicing his head clean off!

"Brat, you will regret your decision today," Uchiha Obito snarled, his expression twisted.

Ever since he began masquerading as Uchiha Madara, he had never suffered such a great insult.

Not even during the Nine-Tails incident, when facing the Yellow Flash, had he ever been in such a pathetic state!

Yet, before this brat named Uchiha Gray, all of his abilities and ninjutsu seemed to have nowhere to hide.

Uchiha Obito had the distinct impression that his opponent knew all his techniques and exactly how to counter them!

This stifling feeling completely shattered his pride.

The most terrifying thing was that this brat before him was not a whit slower than Namikaze Minato.

That horrifying insight and reaction speed were truly chilling!

If he let this brat go now, he would undoubtedly become his greatest enemy in the future.

He spat viciously, "Just you wait, brat. The next time we meet, it won't be this simple!"

Uchiha Obito felt powerless; he knew he couldn't do anything to Uchiha Gray right now.

Uchiha Gray didn't care, saying indifferently, "Only a stray dog would say something like that. If I have a grudge, I settle it on the spot."

Uchiha Obito's face turned even uglier, his complexion darkening to the color of liver as he vanished and fled!
