Behind Me, There Was No One

Obito leaped backward, forcefully opening up the distance between them.

Midair, his hands instantly blurred into afterimages.

His hand signs were so fast they dazzled the eye.

Snake—Ram—Monkey—Boar—Horse—Tiger!

His chest swelled as he drew in a massive breath.

"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!"

"Boom!!!"

A massive fireball three meters in diameter surged from his mouth!

The blazing waves of fire instantly ignited the entire Abandoned Training Ground!

The raindrops in its path were vaporized by the terrifying heat, turning into scorching white mist that filled the air!

The surging heat forced the students watching from the second floor to cover their faces and retreat again and again, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

"Th-this is a Chunin-level jutsu, isn't it?!"

"Holy shit?! Are you kidding me?! A second-year can spit out a three-meter fireball?!"

"This is fucking seven years old?!"

Uchiha Tekka clung to the window, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.

Faced with the terrifying fireball bearing down like Mount Tai, Kakashi had no intention of dodging.

His hands formed seals at high speed before both palms slammed into the muddy, waterlogged ground.

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"

"Rumble!"

A thick, sturdy stone wall rose from the ground, blocking Kakashi from the front.

The next second, the Great Fireball slammed into the Earth-Style Wall!

Sparks scattered, and muddy water boiled!

Taking advantage of the brief gap after the fireball dissipated, Obito ignored the flames entirely and leaped out from the side of the Earth-Style Wall.

A solid, clumsy punch smashed directly into Kakashi's abdomen.

Soaked from head to toe, Kakashi staggered backward with the force of the blow.

Obito did not press his advantage. That oversized Great Fireball had consumed too much of his Chakra, leaving him panting and drained as well.
