"Born evil... what is evil, and what is justice? Who gets to define them?"
Jing Uchiha did not feel angry as he once had. Instead, he was utterly calm.
"What I intend to do now transcends justice and evil."
He was no longer the ignorant brat he had once been.
He had seen this cruel world for what it was. Even someone as powerful as Kazan could not bring it true happiness.
"That fake Tsukuyomi World again?"
Kazan wasted no words. He stepped forward, appearing before Jing as though he had crossed space itself, and drove his fist straight at him like a mountain.
Bang!
Jing Uchiha raised both hands to block, but that single contact sent him flying backward.
Yet his expression remained composed, perfectly calm. "This is the only way to liberate this world, even if it is an illusion."
Because the real world could never achieve true peace!
He landed, and scorching flames poured from his mouth.
"What a cowardly notion. In the end, you simply lack the courage to face reality."
Boom!
Kazan answered with a single punch, blasting the fireball apart. Sparks filled the cemetery, bathing it in a different hue.
He pressed the attack, streaking forward in a flash of white light and bringing his foot down from above.
"After all these years, you're still that coward who trembled on the battlefield. Nothing has changed."
Kazan's stomp carried tremendous weight, shattering the ground. Jing Uchiha burst beneath his foot as well, dissolving into smoke.
The next instant, as the Substitution Technique burst apart, Jing Uchiha attacked from behind, likewise bringing a foot down toward Kazan's head.
He proved through action that he was no longer someone who had to look up to Kazan.
Kazan's Observation Haki had already glimpsed this scene in the future.
