Obito couldn't help but laugh at those words, "A, you really are… as arrogant as ever."
"What I meant was, this title is too unpleasant. I want to change it."
A frowned, "As ever? Have we met before? And, how do you want to change it?"
Obito chuckled, "Of course, by stepping over you."
A flew into a rage, "Ignorant brat, no matter how strong you are, there's no way you can be a match for the two of us together."
That's what he said, that's how angry he acted, but compared to earlier, when he attacked and killed without hesitation, A was clearly far more cautious now.
He stayed in place, wary and guarded. His words just now were clearly only words.
Seeing this, Obito kept his hands in his pockets, "What's wrong, where's that murderous momentum from just now, killing people so casually?"
After a pause, Obito went on, "But you did say one thing right. Since you're weak, you shouldn't provoke the strong. Got it?"
This time, A couldn't hold it back. Electric light flashed over his whole body again.
But Killer B instantly shunshined to his side, resting a hand on his shoulder.
"Big bro, don't be impulsive. This is still Konoha's home field."
Only then did A calm down, glaring at Obito, "You people want to use numbers to bully the few?"
Obito shook his head, "To deal with you, I alone am enough. Since you're so confident, coming every day to challenge, then come at me together."
He then turned his head, looking back at the Konoha shinobi hurrying over to watch the show. Even Ino–Shika–Cho had finally arrived.
Nara Shikaku really was sly. If Obito hadn't shown up, those three would never have come out.
Thinking this, Obito smiled, "I had thought to seek this duo out myself. Didn't expect they'd deliver themselves instead. But that's fine. This way, you can all see clearly. Actually, the shinobi world has deeply misunderstood me."
"In truth, I am not the Black Fang."
A and Killer B watched as Obito ignored them completely, chatting away with his own comrades.
Killer B at least just grew serious, taking up a battle-ready stance.
A, however, after being dismissed again and again, only wanted to rip Obito to pieces.
He roared, "Konoha brat, don't think that just because you fought Madara you're something special! Since you want one against two, I'll grant your wish!"
"This place is too narrow. Let's change locations. Otherwise, once we fight for real, I'll end up tearing Konoha apart too."
Seeing this, Obito felt A wasn't wrong. He pointed toward a more open clearing nearby.
"Then over there."
A nodded, looking at the clearing.
"I've heard your teacher is the fastest shinobi in the world. Since you're his student, you must've mastered that famous jutsu of his."
"In that case, let's see who reaches that spot first."
Obito looked at the overconfident A and couldn't help but laugh, "You really want to race?"
Electric light crackled around A, "What's wrong, brat, afraid?"
Obito spread his hands, making a "please" gesture.
"As you like. I'll even let you start running first, so you can't say I won unfairly."
A's expression hardened, "So you've already placed a space–time marker there? Hmph! Even so, do you think space–time ninjutsu can solve everything?"
"I'll tell you this: true speed is faster than your reactions."
Obito smiled faintly.
His Flying Thunder God wasn't like Minato-sensei's. He didn't even need special kunai markers.
But the ninja world mostly didn't know this yet. They assumed his mastery of Flying Thunder God was like Minato's.
As for what A said, that true speed could surpass the reaction to trigger space–time ninjutsu, Obito agreed.
In his previous life, in Six Paths mode, when he ambushed Minato, Minato hadn't reacted the first time.
Not to mention, Eight Gates Guy's speed surpassed even his Six Paths self.
Madara could see all of Guy's movements, but his body could only stand dumbly and take the hits. Guy's speed had completely exceeded Six Paths Madara's neural reflexes.
And if he had to say, in this life, it was the Six Paths Sasuke from another world whom Obito felt was the fastest.
When Sasuke attacked, Obito had to stay in intangibility continuously, not daring to come out even for a moment, because Sasuke's sheer speed was enough to count as nonstop attacks against him.
Thinking of this, Obito slowly spoke, "That point, you didn't need to remind me. I've seen true speed. Speed so great it exceeded what I imagined."
"It's just that… compared to true extremes of speed, your speed is like a turtle's crawl."
A erupted in fury.
"You mean your teacher? Hmph! Konoha's Yellow Flash, right? Then today, before his disciple, I'll prove what true speed is!"
As soon as the words fell, A shot toward the target spot. His figure vanished from the ground with a "whoosh," like Minato using space–time ninjutsu, and the next instant, he was already a step away from the finish.
A noticed Obito was still standing in place.
He didn't believe Obito could transfer over in that short a time, so he showed a victorious smile.
Yet in the very next instant, just as he neared the goal, his vision blurred. And Obito was already standing there.
Although A immediately crossed the finish line himself, in his heart he clearly knew. He was still one step slower.
Then, because of his momentum, A sprinted on, smashing down trees along the way before finally stopping.
In terms of time, he was only a tiny fraction slower than Obito. That fraction was so small that a normal person couldn't even feel it.
But that tiny fraction pressed on him like a mountain, making him unable to breathe.
A stood dumbfounded for a long while, unable to recover.
At that moment, Killer B arrived at his side.
"Big bro, who won?"
A gave a bitter smile, "I lost."
After a pause, he added, "And I can't tell if he really let me start first, or if he just didn't react in time."
"If it's the former…", A trailed off, but Killer B already understood what he meant.
If it was the former, then Uchiha Obito was terrifying.
Killer B quickly tried to comfort him.
"Big bro, space–time ninjutsu isn't the same as pure speed. He just teleported. You actually ran there."
A said, "Is there a difference?"
Killer B: "Isn't there?"
The two stared at each other, eyes wide.
Just then, Obito walked over slowly, "What's wrong… can't accept defeat, making excuses?"
