Masked Obito stared at the person in front of him in disbelief.
Same hair color, same face — even the right side of the face that had been crushed by that giant rock looked exactly the same.
This made the usually composed Masked Obito panic a little, despite always claiming he had everything under control.
In contrast, the Obito from the Third Hokage timeline seemed completely calm.
He shrugged at the Masked Obito and replied casually, "It's simple. Because I am you."
After speaking, he deliberately pointed at his own eyes and continued, "But I'm not a useless version like you. Both my eyes are perfectly fine. You? Tsk, tsk."
Hearing the obvious mockery in the Third Hokage Obito's tone, Masked Obito forced himself to stay calm.
He didn't believe a word the other guy said.
That whole "I am you, you are me" nonsense — come on, only a kid would fall for that.
This guy must've stolen the Sharingan he gave to Kakashi, and somehow got his hands on another Mangekyō Sharingan. Now he's trying to trick him.
Hmph. I, Uchiha Obito, am far too clever to fall for something like that.
"What did you do to Kakashi?"
"Heh. So that's what you think, huh."
No one knows you better than yourself.
The Third Hokage Obito instantly knew what Masked Obito was thinking just from that question.
But he didn't refute it. Instead, he pointed at the Six Path Ninja tools that Masked Obito was holding and said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you won't be able to take it."
The Third Obito felt he had been very courteous to the other side.
If it weren't for the fact that they were all the same person, he wouldn't have spoken so kindly.
Strictly speaking, the Third Obito actually sympathized with Masked Obito.
If it weren't for the light screen appearing in his world, he would have ended up doing the same thing as Masked Obito, doing things he thought were right, but were actually completely wrong.
"You think you have me cornered?"
Without giving the Third Obito a chance to speak, Masked Obito finished his sentence and immediately formed hand signs, launching a fire jutsu towards the other side.
"Fire Style: Storm Dance"
In Masked Obito's view,
The fake had taken Kakashi's left eye.
Although it was the same Kamui, the other Kamui was attack-based and couldn't do what he could, which was using Kamui for intangibility and evasion.
But Storm Dance could twist space to create a storm, increasing the attack range and speed.
Without the intangibility of Kamui, based on their positions, the other side wouldn't be able to escape.
"Heh~ naïve."
Facing the spiraling flames, the Third Obito didn't even try to dodge.
He just stood there dumbfounded, letting the flames pass through him.
Seeing the Third Obito unharmed, Masked Obito gritted his teeth in frustration.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
This person in front of him not only used the attack type of Kamui, but also the defensive Kamui intangibility.
In the ninja world, there might be two people with the same Mangekyō Sharingan techniques, like Itachi using Amaterasu and Sasuke using Amaterasu.
But there would never be two identical Mangekyō Sharingan techniques.
Even the Mangekyo Sharingan's patterns are the same, it's just ridiculous.
"Now you believe it, right? I am you."
At this moment, the masked Obito was in the middle of a life crisis, not even hearing what the Third Obito was saying.
Seeing this, the Third Obito shook his head and stopped speaking, choosing instead to take action.
"Wood Style: Piercing Technique"
A thin but sharp wooden stick emerged from the palm of the Third Obito and shot toward the masked Obito's heart at an extremely fast speed.
The Third Obito didn't intend to kill the masked Obito, but to force him to give up the Six Paths Ninja Tools.
Of course, he wasn't after those Six Paths Ninja Tools, but the Nine-Tails Chakra sealed inside the body of the Golden Horn.
Danger was approaching.
The masked Obito instinctively shifted his body into Kamui's intangibility.
It was at this moment that the Third Obito used his attack-type Kamui, forcing the masked Obito to drop the red gourd and evade alone.
"Damn it."
At this point, the masked Obito had no other choice but to feel powerless rage.
The opponent had Wood Style and a Mangekyo Sharingan with two Kamui.
He had the same abilities, so the opponent probably did too.
How could he fight this? It was impossible to fight.
"Bastard, I will definitely return!"
The masked Obito fled in embarrassment, but the Third Obito had no intention of killing him.
Maybe it was out of pity for his former self, or perhaps it was a way to say goodbye to his past self.
Anyway, the Third Obito let Masked Obito go just like that.
"I thought you were going to take him down?"
"Hokage-sama, why would you think that?"
Jiraiya waved his hand and replied, "It's nothing, I was just asking."
"You can ask, but when will you pay me for this mission? You know, I'm so broke I'm practically losing my mind. I need every single bit of my payment for this mission."
"No, you didn't even break a sweat, and you want the full reward for an A-rank mission? That's a bit unreasonable."
"I don't care, I've successfully stopped Masked Obito, letting you all get all the Nine-Tails chakra from the Gold and Silver Brothers. From the results, I've perfectly completed my task. Are you saying Hokage-sama is trying to back out?"
Jiraiya clicked his tongue and helplessly replied, "Alright, I'll give it to you when we get back."
"By the way, Hokage-sama, why didn't you let me use the Six Path Ninja Tools?"
As they were talking, the Third Obito released Ginkaku from the red gourd.
Ginkaku glanced around the battlefield, but upon not seeing his brother Kinkaku, he realized that they had lost.
But even if they lost, he would make them pay for it.
The Nine-Tails chakra appeared, and the Tailed Beast mode activated!
"With your dual Kamui, you're the top combat force on our side. If a powerful enemy appears in the ninja world, we'll need you to fight, so you need to stay at your peak. As for the Six Path Ninja Tools user, I'll find someone else for that."
Jiraiya said this, but his hands didn't stop moving.
With Tsunade's and the Rinnegan Edo Tensei ninja's help, they quickly suppressed the Tailed Beast mode Ginkaku.
From here on, it was simple.
It was just a cycle of suppressing Ginkaku, the Rinnegan Edo Tensei ninja absorbing the Nine-Tails chakra, Ginkaku recovering, being suppressed again, and the chakra being absorbed once more.
"I wonder how Minato and the others are doing."
"Don't worry, he's my teacher. He'll be fine."
On the entire Fourth Great Ninja War battlefield, Gaara's Fourth Division was under the most pressure.
Because the enemies they were facing were the Third Raikage, Second Mizukage, Second Tsuchikage, and his father, the Fourth Kazekage, all summoned by Edo Tensei.
According to the plot of Naruto, at this point, Kabuto Yakushi should have already recalled the Edo Tensei army.
However, the appearance of Edo Tensei ninjas with Rinnegan and the defeat on two battlefields made him give up on that idea.
Kabuto Yakushi: "Heh~ Let me see what hidden cards the Allied Forces still have."
