Chapter 104 - Konoha Spring (Part 2)

In the Hokage's office, Kuragami Uchiha looked deeply at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then turned and walked out.

"Kuragami, where are you going?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked hurriedly.

"Of course, to deal with the enemies who invaded the village." Kuragami Uchiha looked back at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"I'll go with you." Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and planned to follow Kuragami Uchiha.

"The third Hokage is old, so it's better not to travel." Kuragami Uchiha said coldly.

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha blocked Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Fugaku Uchiha, who stopped Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little absurd in his mind.

Six years ago, during the nine-tails attack, Fugaku Uchiha wanted to take his clan members to support the fourth Hokage, but as soon as he left the clan, he was stopped at the door by Danzo Shimura and the root.

At this time, it is just like that moment.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and sat back in his office chair. The timing of the masked man's appearance was too coincidental. Coupled with what he said, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't explain it clearly even if he wanted to.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kuragami Uchiha's back as he walked out of the Hokage's office. In his mind, another image surfaced, Minato Namikaze, the young man who, six years ago, had also rushed forward without hesitation to face the enemy.

… … …

"Itachi Uchiha! Who is he? What does he have to do with you?" Kakashi asked after putting down Shisui, who had lost consciousness.

However, as soon as Kakashi finished speaking, a scythe shot towards him. After Kakashi dodged the attack, he gathered lightning in his right hand and attacked the opponent. In an instant, the lightning seemed like a thousand birds singing together.

Seeing this ninjutsu, Obito's eye under the mask also had a hint of cruelty.

When Kakashi's Lightning Blade touched Obito Uchiha's body, it passed right through him as if he were not there.

Kakashi turned his head suddenly, only to find a scythe slashing at him from behind. Under the huge inertia of Lightning Blade, Kakashi only had time to twist his waist and use this Lightning Blade to meet the swung scythe.

Even if this attack could hit, Kakashi would definitely not escape serious injuries.

At this critical moment, a black shadow wrapped around Kakashi's waist and dragged him out of the range of the scythe's slash.

Kakashi fell to the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner and rolled a few times to relieve the impact.

The black shadow that was wrapped around Kakashi disappeared and then returned to Shikaku Nara's feet.

Kakashi looked back at Shikaku Nara with gratitude, then turned to look at Obito Uchiha. At this moment, Kakashi keenly noticed that although his ninjutsu just now did not land, the scythe in the opponent's hand also had some traces of burning from the lightning.

'Will his real body only be exposed when attacking?'

Kakashi's gaze sharpened as he charged forward again. With the lesson learned last time, Kakashi was much more vigilant this time. While rushing towards Obito Uchiha, he released many ninjutsu as feints along the way to cover his body.

"Captain Itachi Uchiha!" 

After Shikaku Nara saved Kakashi, he turned to look at Itachi Uchiha and asked sternly: "What is going on? Do you know that the nature of this matter will be completely changed if forces outside the village are involved!"

"I… I don't know, I didn't call this guy!" Itachi Uchiha hurriedly explained.

"Haha, kid, you make me sad when you say that."

Obito Uchiha, who used Kamui to dodge the feint ninjutsu and shuriken released by Kakashi, turned his head and looked at everyone: "Besides, strictly speaking, I am not a force outside the village. This village was founded by me."

Obito Uchiha raised his head and showed everyone his exposed Mangekyō Sharingan.

The Uchiha Clan members present were shocked when they saw the pair of Sharingan and immediately shouted angrily: "Who are you? Where did your Sharingan come from?"

"Don't you understand?"

Obito Uchiha pretended to be mysterious and said: "My name is Madara Uchiha."

"What?" Hearing this name, all the Uchiha Clan members present were stunned.

At this moment, Kakashi seized the opening; he lunged forward with lightning in his hand and aimed at Obito's back. But just as the lightning-infused attack was about to land, the pinwheel pattern in Obito's eye spun faster, and his body faded into an intangible state.

Kakashi passed right through him. But this time, Kakashi had anticipated it.

He abruptly halted mid-air, twisting his body unnaturally to stop his momentum. Without hesitation, he planted his foot and launched another lightning-charged thrust, ignoring the strain on his muscles.

Kakashi's sudden move was completely beyond Obito Uchiha's expectations. While retracting his offensive, he uses Kamui again.

'As expected.'

Although he hadn't landed a hit, Kakashi also gained intelligence on the opponent. Taking advantage of the momentum of Lightning Blade's acceleration, he wanted to distance himself from Obito Uchiha. 

However, at this moment, Kakashi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left eye.

The sudden pain made Kakashi's body stagnate. Obito would not miss this golden opportunity and took the initiative to attack Kakashi.

Just when Kakashi was about to die, a beam of lightning as thick as his thigh fell from the sky.

Obito immediately used Kamui out again, avoiding the strike. When the light faded, a figure covered in lightning emerged. Before Kakashi could react, the newcomer kicked him out of the battle's range and drove a lightning-imbued fist straight toward Obito's face.

Obito, who maintained his Kamui, let the punch hit him. After passing through the opponent, he turned around and slashed with the scythe, but a Susanoo arm appeared out of thin air, blocked Obito's scythe, and the violent electric current instantly wrapped around Obito along the chain connected to the scythe.

Seeing this, Obito could only use the Kamui again, disappearing in the air and reappearing not far away.

After forcing Obito back, the newcomer stood his ground as a towering, dark-colored Susanoo took shape behind him.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the person.
