Konoha Cemetery.
Rows of tombstones stood solemnly, and the entire cemetery was unusually quiet, with hardly anyone in sight.
On a tomb in a corner, Kakashi, dressed in his ANBU uniform, gently placed a lily.
"Lin, I've come to see you."
His face was obscured by ANBU, revealing only a pair of melancholy eyes.
Scenes from the past replayed in Kakashi's mind.
It feels both very far away and very close at the same time.
He broke his promise to Obito; Rin died.
She died at his hands.
Every month at this time, he would come here to pay his respects to Obito and Rin.
Sometimes he wondered, what if he had made a different choice? Would the outcome have been different?
But there are no "what ifs" in this world...
Kakashi shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.
"Lin, I'll come see you again next time..."
Just as he was about to turn and leave, a chill ran up his spine and rushed straight to the back of his head.
His numerous brushes with death in the ANBU allowed him to instantly twist his upper body, his entire body flipping to the side in an astonishing posture to dodge.
Behind me, a hand wrapped in bandages brushed past, grasping at empty air.
"Who are you?!"
Kakashi, panting heavily, pulled out a Kunai warily at the Masked Man had suddenly appeared.
A trace of shock still lingered in his eyes.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he probably would have fallen into their hands.
This is Konoha territory, how did this guy sneak in?!
Etc!
Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted as he stared at the tiger-striped mask.
"You are Uchiha Madara!!!"
"Oh? You've actually heard of me?"
Obito was slightly surprised.
"Of course..." Kakashi gritted his teeth, "Uchiha Madara, who single-handedly orchestrated the Night of the Nine-Tails, invaded the Root Base, and caused Konoha immense losses!"
As a member of the ANBU, Kakashi also had some information about the masked man in front of him.
It is said that on that night, Uchiha Clan spent a huge Root of money to hunt down this person, but unfortunately he escaped.
The flax, still Obito, froze.
He understood the Night of the Nine-Tails.
What the heck Root Base???
When did he invade the Root?
The Root said the same thing that night.
Why am I suddenly burdened with so many problems?
"Baffling!"
Obito stretched out his palm and grabbed Kakashi's throat.
Kakashi dodged by flipping over and throwing out Kunai.
The Kunai pierced straight through the tiger-striped mask, leaving no trace.
"It's useless."
Obito's eyes were indifferent.
Kakashi's heart sank.
As expected, it possesses the same space-time capabilities as the intelligence reports.
With his left Sharingan awakened, Kakashi gripped his right arm as blue lightning arcs rippled and danced amidst the cries of thousands of birds.
"Chidori!"
Kakashi suddenly rushed forward, his speed so fast that only a blur remained.
Without any hindrance, Chidori pierced straight through Obito's body.
But Kakashi showed no joy whatsoever, and there was no feedback of hitting the target, as if he had hit thin air.
Due to inertia, the body passed directly through Obito's body.
In the instant they passed through.
Snap!
The intense stinging pain caused Kakashi's expression to change drastically, and he let out a painful howl.
"My eyes! My eyes!!!"
A bloody hole appeared in his left eye.
Obito pinched his bloodstained Sharingan, a complex expression on his face.
But soon, this complexity faded, replaced by a chilling coldness.
Sudden!
A sharp gust of wind blew past his ears, and a sharp weapon pierced through his skull, forcefully embedding itself in the tombstone opposite him.
Clang!!!
The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed through the cemetery.
Kitchen knife???
When Obito saw the weapon nailed to the tombstone, Obito eyelids twitched wildly.
What era are we living in!
People actually use kitchen knives as weapons???
"Zhiyin, brother! Someone's stealing our thunder!"
Uchiha Kuroko arrived, glaring angrily at Obito, who was holding the Obito.
"Wash and knead!!!"
With Uchiha Zhiyin swung their solid black iron rod, weighing dozens of kilograms, down at Obito's head.
The ground shook.
The solid concrete floor was shattered, and spiderweb-like cracks spread out.
Obito's eyelids twitched even more intensely.
What the hell are these two guys???
The name is so weird, that's bad enough!
Even the weapons are so unique!
Uchiha Kuroko yanked hard, and the kitchen knife embedded in the tombstone flew back, passing through Obito's body once more.
Steel wire???
Obito's pupils contracted.
There was a thin steel wire wrapped around the handle of that kitchen knife!
Obito, who was born into the Uchiha Clan, immediately thought of the Uchiha Style Throwing Technique.
As Uchiha Clan's top throwing techniques, it allows them to alter the trajectory of Shuriken using steel wire.
But no one in the clan has ever used it on a kitchen knife!!!
Obito was speechless for a moment.
Could it be that he's been away from the Uchiha Clan for too long and has fallen behind the times?
"Blackie! He's about to attack!"
"My blood is boiling! Zhiyin my brother!"
Uchiha Zhiyin, wielding a black iron rod, and Uchiha Kuroko, clutching two kitchen knives, roared as they charged toward Obito!
