Kitsuchi gazed at Obito Uchiha, who was fighting amid the crowd in the distance, cold sweat streaming down his face.
"No wonder the old man mobilized ten thousand shinobi to kill these two. So that's why... the Two Lights of Konoha truly live up to their reputation!"
Kitsuchi clenched his fists. He was only an Elite Jonin himself. If he had to face that ten-year-old boy one-on-one, he might not even be able to win.
There was no helping it. That was the power of a Kekkei Genkai!
Kakashi had become a Jonin at twelve, and Jonin was likely the pinnacle that an ordinary person could never reach in their lifetime!
Not to mention Obito Uchiha, a ten-year-old Jonin.
On the battlefield!
The techniques Obito Uchiha unleashed grew increasingly brutal.
However, as his ocular power continued to drain away, his eyes gradually became heavy, to the point that he could barely keep them fully open.
Then, a deep weariness surged through him. He could clearly feel the Chakra in his body receding like the tide, rapidly nearing exhaustion!
Pfft!
A dull thud rang out.
Earth Release! Earth Flow Spear!
An Iwagakure shinobi hidden in the shadows suddenly seized the opening Obito had exposed in his dazed state and launched an incomparably fierce Earth Flow Spear.
The spear shot forward like lightning, striking Obito with perfect accuracy!
Pfft!
Obito spat out a mouthful of blood from the heavy blow, his body staggering backward several steps on its own.
"Obito!"
Minato Namikaze, who was gathering Sage Art energy in the distance, was instantly consumed by anxiety at the sight of Obito being injured.
He wanted nothing more than to rush over and save him, but his Sage Art was not yet complete, leaving him caught in a dilemma.
"Damn it! I clearly sent out a distress signal, so why hasn't anyone come yet?!"
Minato Namikaze realized that something must have gone wrong in the rear. Otherwise, with such a massive military operation by Iwagakure, how could Konoha possibly have failed to send reinforcements?!
At that moment, Minato thought of a possibility.
Konoha had most likely abandoned him and Obito!
Minato struggled inwardly. He refused to believe the village would make such a decision!
But reality was right in front of him. With such a huge commotion at Kannabi Bridge, how could the village possibly not know?!
"Kill this little bastard already! He's killed so many of our comrades!"
The Iwagakure shinobi who had landed the hit shouted smugly, then brandished his weapon and charged fiercely toward Obito Uchiha.
"I..."
"I, Obito Uchiha! Will never fall!"
"I... I cannot fall!"
He gritted his teeth and forced his tottering body upright.
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
He was a transmigrator. How could he possibly die here?!
If he died so easily, then what was the point of being sent to this world?
He would become the strongest in the Shinobi World!
He would obtain even greater power!
"I will... I will fight again!!!"
Though his vision had begun to blur and the Tachi in his hand was nearly chipped from the prolonged, fierce battle!
Obito Uchiha still endured the searing pain and forced open his bloodshot eyes. The Sharingan gleamed with unyielding light, spinning wildly, faster and faster, until it even became a black ring!
Pfft! Accompanied by a dull impact, a flash of cold light streaked through the air. The incomparably sharp Steel Blade came down like lightning, hacking viciously into Obito Uchiha's body.
Blood sprayed everywhere. Obito let out a muffled groan, and his body jolted violently.
A fierce pain tore through him, as though every bone in his body had been shattered by that blow. His already unsteady body could no longer support itself. His legs gave out, and he staggered backward once more.
"What a fast blade!"
"One strike shattered my dream of the Six Paths..."
Yet fate itself seemed to have decided to abandon Obito Uchiha...
As Obito fell, several Iwagakure shinobi emerged from every direction like ghosts.
Every one of them wore twisted expressions, their eyes wide with endless killing intent and savage ferocity.
"Kill him!"
With furious roars, the Iwagakure shinobi brandished their weapons and charged madly at Obito Uchiha.
Facing such a ferocious assault, Obito Uchiha no longer had the strength to resist.
His vision began to blur, and his consciousness slowly drifted away.
Scenes from the past kept flashing through his mind: defeating Kakashi for the first time, taking the ninja exams for the first time, infiltrating Akatsuki, and completing missions alongside Minato.
"Am I... really going to die..."
Obito Uchiha muttered, his voice so weak it was nearly inaudible.
The panic and desperation in his heart grew ever more frenzied!
He did not want to die! He wanted to live!
His extreme desire to survive drove Obito Uchiha further into madness!
Several burly, vicious-looking Iwagakure shinobi leaped high into the air like agile cheetahs!
They gripped gleaming Steel Blades in their hands, plunging them ruthlessly toward Obito Uchiha with fierce momentum!
The sharp blades flashed with a chilling gleam in the air, as if they would kill Obito Uchiha in a single strike!
Against this attack, other than Intangibility, I can't think of any way to dodge!
At that critical instant, just as the cold Steel Blades were about to touch Obito Uchiha's body!
A low, mysterious shout rang out!
"Kamui!"
In an instant, a strange power erupted from Obito Uchiha's body!
(I know the Sharingan reflects the heart, but Obito, in danger, wanted to flee and avoid the attack, so Kamui was born.)
Buzz! Buzz!
The blade tips that had been certain to strike passed through Obito Uchiha's body without the slightest obstruction.
It was as though his body were nothing but illusory air, completely impossible to harm!
Seeing this incomprehensible scene, the Iwagakure shinobi's eyes widened at once.
"What?!"
The next second, Obito Uchiha opened his eyes again! But the Three-Tomoe Sharingan pattern in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a shuriken-like Mangekyō Sharingan!
Those eerie, powerful eyes carried an aura that sent chills down one's spine, radiating the wicked, sinister power of the Uchiha Clan!
Obito's powerful will to survive kept driving his emotions higher and higher!
At last, he successfully awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!
However, Obito Uchiha could only maintain it for a few seconds before immediately shutting off his Sharingan due to a lack of strength!
There was no helping it. The consumption was simply too great!
Obito Uchiha gave a bitter smile inwardly. Was he still unable to escape the fate of being killed?
Boom!
Just then, a pair of arms scooped him up!
Whoosh!
"Sorry, Obito! I kept you waiting!"
