Kakashi, Come Here for a Moment

Planetary Devastation was, in essence, just an oversized Universal Pull.

It did not pose much of a threat to Uchiha Yansheng. After all, he was only a Shadow Clone at the moment.

"Kakashi, if you keep hiding your strength, you'll die here."

Uchiha Yansheng's amused expression made Kakashi Hatake's face stiffen considerably.

"There really is no helping it."

Kakashi Hatake complained helplessly. According to the intelligence division's analysis, this should not have matched Uchiha Yansheng's personality.

Was it because he understood my strength?

It seemed that even without knowing everything about the future, he still held a tremendous advantage.

Against someone like this, there really was no way to fight back. I wonder if the village's conciliatory policy can succeed.

With those thoughts in mind, Kakashi Hatake opened Obito Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan...

"Kamui!!!"

Spatial distortion bloomed around the black sphere of Planetary Devastation, as though it were trying to swallow it whole.

But compared to the Rinnegan, the Mangekyo Sharingan's ocular power was still somewhat too weak. On top of that, Kakashi was not from the Uchiha Clan, had only one eye, and so on...

In short, Kamui's spatial distortion lasted only a moment before being canceled.

"You really can't be relied on!"

Seeing the blood flowing from Kakashi Hatake's eye and the chakra in his body nearly exhausted, Uchiha Yansheng helplessly took out his last scroll.

"Seriously, I don't have many of these things either."

As the sealing scroll was unsealed, a massive five-pointed-star-shaped lump of flesh appeared before Uchiha Yansheng, looking somewhat like Majin Buu.

So Uchiha Yansheng gave it a name based on that appearance.

"Hey, Buu. Look up there. Go destroy it..."

At Uchiha Yansheng's command, the five-pointed fleshball soared into the air. Combined with the suction that had already appeared, it was swiftly sucked into Planetary Devastation.

"BOOM!!!"

Patrick Star's artistic radiance flickered across the sky...

In the original story, Planetary Devastation had been broken before. All that was needed was a powerful attack to interrupt it before it fully formed.

If Zero-Two—Nohara Rin's body—had not been overly depleted just now, then in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode with the Three-Tails state, a Tailed Beast Bomb formed by exhausting all her chakra might have been able to break it.

But now, he could only use this thing.

"See? Art has really become Patrick Star this time!"

Kakashi Hatake had no idea what Uchiha Yansheng was talking about, but he knew very well that this seemingly incomparably terrifying ninjutsu had been broken.

This thing was naturally the second stage of the Exploding Fly that Uchiha Yansheng had developed: a chakra bomb created by drawing inspiration from Deidara's self-destruction methods.

In essence, it really was a human bomb.

Judging by its appearance now, its power seemed fairly decent.

"Kakashi, where are we going next?"

After Planetary Devastation was broken, Uchiha Yansheng recalled Zero-One, Zero-Two, and Zero-Three.

Pain and Konan did not appear again. It was unclear whether they had fled or had some other plan.

"Mm... shall we investigate Rain Village first?"

Kakashi Hatake spoke with some hesitation.

It had been exactly two years since the Nine-Tails' Attack. After Konoha learned Obito Uchiha's identity, it had been hunting him throughout the entire shinobi world.

Yet after so much time, they had failed to find even a single useful clue about him.

Space-Time Dojutsu really was convenient.

It was probably unrealistic to expect the two of them to find information about Obito Uchiha.

"Kakashi, come here for a moment."

Uchiha Yansheng suddenly called out to Kakashi Hatake.

Kakashi Hatake did not suspect a thing and walked over directly.

The next second, Kakashi Hatake suddenly felt intense pain in his right eye, nearly causing him to pass out.

Under normal circumstances, Kakashi would not have been caught off guard like this.

But although Kamui had been useless just now, it had still inflicted considerable damage on his body. Combined with his lack of vigilance...

"Is the Uchiha Clan taking back this Sharingan?"

Feeling the sharp pain in his eye, Kakashi Hatake could not help asking.

Ever since learning Obito Uchiha's current identity, Kakashi Hatake had been prepared for this possibility.

"I thought you'd be more upset."

"But unfortunately, I have no intention of taking back the Sharingan."

"This is merely a seal. If the eye is dug out by someone else, it will immediately explode."

Uchiha Yansheng's words prompted Kakashi Hatake to instinctively adjust to his eye. He found that the Sharingan, which had never been able to close, was still there.

"If there's a next time, could you give me a warning first?"

Uchiha Yansheng smiled and collected a small piece of flesh from that Sharingan at the same time.

As a jonin, Kakashi Hatake naturally noticed Uchiha Yansheng's actions. Although he knew what he had done, he showed no other reaction.

At present, Konoha's attitude toward Uchiha Yansheng was simple: as long as he did not betray the village, they would let him do as he pleased.

Even if he wanted to become Hokage, that would be fine.

After all, though he was from the Uchiha Clan, if Yansheng could become the next Madara Uchiha, Konoha might regain the grandeur it had possessed during the First Hokage's era.

So those minor flaws could simply be overlooked.

Uchiha Yansheng naturally had no idea what Kakashi Hatake was thinking. He thought his actions had gone unnoticed and was secretly delighted.

What he had planted in Kakashi Hatake's eye was not some sealing technique, but a special kind of flesh he had cultivated.

It could be said that as long as Uchiha Yansheng wished it, the Sharingan in Kakashi Hatake's eye would explode at any moment. It was extremely useful.

After handling those matters, Uchiha Yansheng and Kakashi Hatake wandered around Rain Village for another two days.

Everything in Rain Village was normal. Nagato and Konan had not left, but neither had they shown themselves. They merely sent someone to deliver a message.

Shisui Uchiha was in Obito Uchiha's hands. They did not know Obito Uchiha's current whereabouts either, and they hoped the two of them would not destroy Rain Village's peace.

Was it a threat? Or a gesture of goodwill? Probably both.

In the end, Uchiha Yansheng chose to give up. Two days were enough for Kakashi Hatake to recover.

Summoning a smaller ninja cat, Uchiha Yansheng handed it some items such as scrolls and instructed it to take them to Cat Ninja Village.

Afterward, Cat Ninja Village would send cats to deliver those things to Konoha Village.

Once that was done, Uchiha Yansheng dispelled the Shadow Clone Technique.

After a Shadow Clone was dispelled, its remaining chakra and memories from that period would return to the original body. It was an extremely quick way to travel.

As for Kakashi Hatake, he could only run back on his own.
