Obito Uchiha

Obito's tone was calm yet arrogant.

In truth, Obito's best decision now should have been to use intangibility and leave immediately.

But Obito seemed intent on venting the resentment in his heart, as well as his dissatisfaction with the Uchiha.

The chains around Obito's wrists were burned apart by Amaterasu.

He took out a scythe and a massive war fan from the Kamui dimension.

They were none other than Madara Uchiha's Uchiha war fan and Seven Stars Scythe.

At the sight of the fan, Fugaku's pupils contracted. "The Uchiha war fan? Wasn't this fan taken away by Madara back then?"

Obito did not answer Fugaku. Gripping the fan, he walked straight toward him.

Before Fugaku's shocked gaze, Obito slowly passed through the pitch-black Susanoo!

Seeing that his Susanoo was useless against Obito,

Fugaku simply dispelled it. He then gripped a kunai and stared intently at Obito!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Fugaku formed hand seals and spewed out a massive fireball, which passed straight through Obito's body.

Obito swung his scythe, slashing directly at Fugaku.

Fugaku raised his kunai to block, but the scythe passed through it as well and was about to cut into Fugaku's head.

At the critical moment, Fugaku's Mangekyo flashed red. Obito's movements seemed to slow by half a beat, and Fugaku instantly moved away!

Obito looked at Fugaku in surprise. "A dojutsu that affects time?"

Fugaku did not speak. He was extremely wary of Obito.

Susanoo was useless against Obito.

His own attacks could not hurt Obito, and he was not certain whether Obito's attacks could hurt him.

Looking at the pattern in Obito's eyes,

this type of Mangekyo had never appeared in Uchiha records!

Fugaku said to Itachi, "Itachi, let's attack together!"

Itachi's body turned into crows and scattered.

Then he appeared behind Obito. Blood streamed from his eyes as black flames focused upon Obito's body.

"Amaterasu!"

Obito instantly turned around and used the war fan to absorb all of Amaterasu.

Then he swung the fan at Fugaku. "Uchiha Reflection!"

The black flames instantly engulfed Fugaku. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly used [Heavenly Standing] to slow time around him.

This gave him enough time to manifest Susanoo.

Just as the black Susanoo appeared, the Amaterasu reflected by Obito's Uchiha Reflection began burning upon it.

Taking advantage of this opening, Obito instantly charged toward Itachi. Itachi's Mangekyo gathered power in his eyes. As long as the mysterious masked man was hit by Amaterasu, it would be enough!

But Obito seemed to have known Itachi's ability long ago and did not look into Itachi's eyes at all!

A massive shuriken shot from Obito's eye and slashed toward Itachi. Itachi's body instantly turned into crows and scattered, then reformed in the distance.

Sasuke watched Obito fight Itachi and Fugaku.

Although Obito had only one Sharingan,

[Kamui] allowed him to evade every attack except genjutsu!

The necessary condition for Itachi's Tsukuyomi was eye contact.

And Obito would not make eye contact with Itachi.

Sasuke's heartbeat quickened. A crow flew behind him.

Sasuke nervously grabbed the crow. He only had one chance!

Sasuke ran toward Obito's back and rapidly formed hand seals.

"Body Flicker Shadow Clone Technique!"

Five Sasukes instantly appeared. Including the original, there were six Sasukes in total, charging at Obito from every direction.

Obito struck one of the clones with his fan, turning it into white mist that dispersed.

Obito could not tell which one was the real Sasuke.

Obito said, "I just need to eliminate them all!"

"Fire Release: Storm Dance!"

Kamui's power mixed with Fire Release, instantly transforming into a spreading fiery tornado that burned toward Sasuke's clones.

Obito concentrated on searching for Sasuke's real body.

Then, when one of Sasuke's clones turned into white mist, a pitch-black crow flew out of the mist!

The crow's sudden appearance gave Obito a terrible feeling!

When Obito saw the crow's red Mangekyo Sharingan, he tried to flee, but it was already too late!

One of the crow's eyes gradually lost its light and became an ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan!

It was Shisui's Kotoamatsukami!

Using the instant his clone dispersed, Sasuke had the crow appear and make eye contact with Obito. In that single instant, Kotoamatsukami was activated!

Sasuke planted an order in Obito: [Unconditionally obey Uchiha Sasuke's commands!]

Kotoamatsukami's effect was absurdly powerful. Once someone was afflicted by its technique, it was difficult to change.

And Kotoamatsukami's cooldown was as long as fifteen years.

Sasuke had used Kotoamatsukami to control Obito.

Itachi's crow turned into white mist and dispersed. Sasuke said to Obito, "Now, stop all actions harmful to the Uchiha clan!"

Obito put the war fan and scythe back into the Kamui dimension.

He found his thoughts strange.

He clearly knew that he had been hit by Kotoamatsukami and clearly knew what he had experienced, yet Obito simply felt that Sasuke was right.

He should unconditionally obey Sasuke's commands.

Seeing that Sasuke's plan had succeeded,

Fugaku and Itachi both breathed sighs of relief.

Because if the mysterious masked man before them really was Madara Uchiha...

Itachi said, "Who exactly are you? Take off your mask!"

Obito looked at Itachi, his eyes full of mockery. Sasuke said, "Do as Itachi says."

Obito froze, then slowly began taking off his mask.

What was revealed was the left side of his face, covered in vicious scars. A Mangekyo Sharingan sat in his left eye.

His right eye was shut, and he had already lost that eye.

Obito slowly said, "I am... Uchiha... Obito!"

Fugaku froze. "Obito?"

"I know you. You were the Fourth Hokage's disciple, but as I recall, didn't you die at Kannabi Bridge?"

Obito looked coldly at the sky, at the red moon hanging above.

The day he saw Rin killed by Kakashi had also had a red moon.

Obito slowly spoke. "Because of my space-time dojutsu, I survived. At the time, my body was between reality and intangibility, which allowed me to survive. Madara saved me."
