Battle!

"I am—Madara Uchiha!"

Suddenly, Obito Uchiha's Ki surged, and he lowered his stance slightly.

Clearly, he had made his choice!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Boom!

A thin tongue of flame shot from Obito Uchiha's mouth and swelled into a fireball as wide as Hashirama Senju's head on Hokage Rock.

The heat warped the very air.

Seen from above, the three figures on Hokage Rock were no more than tiny black dots... Shinji raised an eyebrow at the fireball hurtling toward him.

He had to admit it.

Since Obito Uchiha had fused with Hashirama Cells, his Chakra reserves had grown dramatically.

Still, what a prideful, melodramatic villain. Fine. I'll give him something to remember—the Uchiha Clan way!

Beside them, Zetsu scratched his head and tilted it. "Oh my? You're fighting already? Lord Madara, need a hand?"

Obito did not answer.

He appeared at Shinji Uchiha's side with the Body Flicker Technique and whipped a leg through the air, a fierce gust riding the kick!

Bang!

Shinji Uchiha vanished in a puff of smoke.

"A Shadow Clone?"

Obito Uchiha flickered clear of the fireball's reach and backed against the cliff. The Three Tomoe in his eye spun rapidly as he searched for the slightest trace.

"Looking for me?"

Whoosh!

Shinji Uchiha appeared behind Obito and drove his Flying Thunder God Kunai toward Obito's neck!

Clang!

Obito Uchiha ducked slightly, and the Gunbai strapped to his back blocked the Kunai!

With a cold snort, he raised his hands and formed Hand Seals!

Poof!

Obito Uchiha disappeared in a substitution. His fingers snapped together, then both arms swung wide, sending Shuriken flying in a dense barrage!

Shinji flipped through the air and landed. With a sharp ring, he drew his Tachi and met them head-on.

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

He knocked the Shuriken
