Save Obito!

It turned out that in that extremely fierce battle earlier, the masked man's tightly gripped blade was like a scythe of death, coldly stabbing towards Koki.

In that instant, time seemed to freeze. He was confident that he had tipped the scales of victory in his favor, and the tip of his blade pierced through Koki's body with unerring accuracy.

Just as he was about to revel in his victory, a deep and mysterious voice suddenly echoed in his ears, a voice like a call from hell, "Did you really see it clearly?"

A sense of unease rose within the masked man, and he reflexively looked down at the knife in his hand.

That one glance instantly swept away his joy of victory, replacing it with overwhelming fear and shock.

He was shocked to find that the blade had not embedded itself in Koki's body as he had hoped, but instead had plunged deep into his abdomen, with blood gushing out like a stream.

The masked man stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, his face filled with terror, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. He tried to understand it all, but his mind was a mess, unable to make sense of it all.

He clearly remembered that his target was Koki, so what was going on? His thoughts became a mess, and he began to question his senses and judgment.

However, no matter how much he struggled, the reality remained unchanged; the blade was already deeply embedded in his body, an indelible fact.

It turns out that all of this was caused by Koki's Genjutsu.

The moment the battle began, Koki had already cast Genjutsu on the masked man. In the illusion, the masked man believed he had struck Koki, but in reality, he was heading towards his own destruction.

Exhausted, Koki slumped to the side, witnessing the masked man's terrified and desperate expression, yet he felt no pity whatsoever.

After all, he was the one who first tried to kill him. If Koki merciful, it might have been him who fell now.

"I see." A look of sudden realization flashed in the masked man's eyes, but it quickly turned into bitterness and despair.

He finally realized that from beginning to end, he had been deeply trapped in Koki's meticulously laid snare.

Koki's Genjutsu was so ingenious and concealed that even a seasoned ninja like him couldn't detect it in the slightest.

In the twilight of life, the masked man, as fragile as a flickering lamp and a solitary shadow, had his life force swaying, as if he might be swept away by the wind at any moment.

His consciousness gradually blurred, and the world around him seemed to be stretched by an invisible distance, becoming blurry and illusory.

Even at this critical moment, deep within his heart, a clear figure remained— Lord Danzo.

From the day he stepped into the Root organization, his fate became inextricably linked with Lord Danzo, like two threads intertwined into an unbreakable knot.

He endured cruel trials and countless life-or-death tests, each time etching the word "loyalty" into the depths of his soul.

Loyalty to him is not only a heavy responsibility, but also a spiritual belief, the entire meaning of his existence.

In his heart, Lord Danzo was not only his leader, but also a beacon in his life, guiding him in the right direction.

Lord Danzo regarded every word and every command as the supreme decree.

He obeyed unconditionally and carried out his orders without hesitation, because he knew that only in this way could he become the sharpest sword in Lord Danzo's hand, cutting down all obstacles for him.

Throughout those endless dark years, he remained steadfast in his beliefs, silently protecting Lord Danzo from behind.

He was willing to give everything for Lord Danzo, even his life.

As the masked man's breathing gradually weakened, his body could no longer withstand the pain inflicted by the swords.

However, even after suffering immense torment, his heart remained unbreakable. Remembering Lord Danzo's earnest expectations for him and the vow he had made, a sense of resentment welled up from the depths of his soul.

In the twilight of his destiny, he understood his fate, yet he was not afraid.

His life, like fuel thrown into a sea of fire, was for that lofty ideal, for a greater goal, for the ideals of Lord Danzo and the Root organization.

In his heart, the flame of loyalty burns eternally, like the most steadfast star in the night sky; even if his body perishes, the light of his spirit will live on forever.

The masked man's life was as precarious as a candle flickering in the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.

However, deep within his heart, his loyalty to Lord Danzo and his dedication to his mission miraculously revived the setting sun, allowing him to struggle free from the embrace of death.

Unexpectedly, a faint strength surged from his body, like a trapped wild beast launching a final resistance.

His eyes blazed with a frenzied fire, and he had only one thought in his mind: even if he were to die, he would carry out Lord Danzo's orders and lead the despicable Uchiha Clan to their deserved end.

He gritted his teeth, endured the excruciating pain, and with extraordinary willpower, pulled the sharp blade out of his abdomen.

Blood gushed out like a surging tide along the blade, but he ignored it, his eyes fixed on his target.

Obito, who was closest to him, had his back to the masked man and was completely focused on the situation of Koki in his arms, unaware of the danger lurking behind him.

In that pivotal moment, the masked man seized the fleeting opportunity. His movements were as swift and sharp as a shooting star streaking across the night sky, like a meteorite burning with fury, hurtling straight toward Obito's heart.

In that instant, time seemed to freeze. The masked man's eyes flashed with determination and fervor. He knew that this might be his last chance in this life, his last gamble.

He was willing to give everything for Lord Danzo's wishes, even his own life!

Obito's attention was completely drawn to Koki in his arms. He whispered words of comfort to him, his eyes filled with worry and tenderness.

His mind was completely focused on Koki's safety, and he was completely unaware of the deadly threat that was about to descend upon him from behind.

However, at that moment, Koki sensed a dangerous aura coming from behind, thanks to his amazing intuition and vigilance.

He caught a glimpse of the masked man's fierce attack out of the corner of his eye, and his heart instantly raced as a sense of tension surged within him.

In that critical moment, a strong belief surged within Koki: "I still have the system! It won't let me die so easily! But Obito absolutely cannot die!!"

So, in that instant of decision, Koki did not hesitate for a moment. He used all his strength to shove Obito aside.

Obito was pushed back several steps by the sudden force, completely unaware of what had happened.

At the same time, the masked man thrust out his sword without hesitation. His original target— Obito —was no longer beneath the blade. The tip of the sword, like an arrow slicing through the air, went straight for Koki.

Koki's body had no time to dodge; she could only watch helplessly as the blade pierced deep into her body.

The sound was exceptionally clear as the blade pierced through flesh and blood, and scalding blood gushed out immediately, instantly staining Koki's clothes a shocking crimson.

In that instant, a burning pain spread rapidly, burning like fire on Koki's skin.

The masked man collapsed again due to the recoil from the attack; he had exhausted all his life force.

"Lord Danzo, I did it." A flash of fanatical joy appeared in his eyes as he looked at the pierced Koki, but this emotion was quickly swallowed up by the endless darkness.
