"Bastard!"
The mysterious masked man ignored the pain from the explosion, looked at Uehara Naraku in the air, and slowly clasped his fingers together: "I must use Izanagi... I must kill everyone present!"
The mysterious masked man felt a bit fortunate that he and Uchiha Itachi had participated in the clan extermination, gathering enough Three Tomoe Sharingan from the Uchiha Clan, which provided him with enough resources to use Izanagi.
As long as Izanagi was used, all the damage he received could be turned into a dream, and since he was an Uchiha himself, the duration of Izanagi would be maximized.
"Once your billion paper bombs explode, it will be your death day, brat!"
The firelight and sound from the exploding paper bombs attracted others' attention in the mountain forest, such as the young girl Karin and the Mist Village ninja pursuing Kakashi.
Upon seeing Hatake Kakashi, Karin sprang from the dense forest, carrying the severely injured Hatake Kakashi and quickly fled the scene.
Uehara Naraku glanced in surprise at the stranger girl running away, then picked up Hoshigaki Kisame by the neck and flew into the air, leaving with him.
The roaring of the paper bombs continued incessantly.
The mask on the mysterious man's face finally fell off, revealing his true face. He didn't care about the damage from the paper bombs, only fixating his gaze on the disappearing figure in the sky, his voice hoarse: "Brat, you can't escape..."
"..."
The Pursuing Ninja Squad from the Hidden Mist Village came rushing out, staring in astonishment at the man still in place being bombarded by paper bombs.
This man was a fierce character!
But now, unable to trace Hatake Kakashi or rescue Captain Hoshigaki Kisame, the Pursuing Ninja Squad decided to stay, intending to take Uchiha Obito back to the village for interrogation after the bombing ceased.
As the Tandem Paper Bomb explosions ended, the transplanted Three Tomoe Sharingan in Uchiha Obito's left eye finally turned completely gray.
Even with the guidance of exploding Tandem Paper Bombs, the time for the bombing of the billions of paper bombs was too short, so Izanagi was enough to easily transform all damage Uchiha Obito received into a dream during this period.
Having taken this into account, Uehara Naraku vanished from Uchiha Obito's sight, as he still didn't have absolute confidence in defeating this guy.
Uchiha Obito surveyed the Mist Village ninja present. Under the surprised gazes of these ninjas, his body gradually dissipated in place... Just when the Mist Village ninja were filled with doubt, a hoarse, harsh shout woke them up!
"Wood Release: Planting Jutsu!"
Uchiha Obito's figure suddenly appeared behind a Mist Village ninja, a wooden spike in his hand penetrating the ninja's heart.
One after another, wooden spikes grew from the Mist Village ninja's body, piercing through him!
Uchiha Obito flung aside the corpse of the Mist Village ninja before him, surveying the other Mist Village ninja. Another wooden spike emerged from his palm... These guys happened to be perfect for venting a bit of his pent-up anger!
Uchiha Obito felt as if he was returning to the past, to the night Nohara Rin died in battle, where he was as furious as he was now, killing everything in a river of blood!
Screams filled the air continuously...
When the last Mist Village ninja of the Pursuing Ninja Squad had his head twisted off, Uchiha Obito gradually regained his composure, reconsidering his next plan.
Firstly, the crisis of his exposed identity was because of Hatake Kakashi. If Kakashi hadn't disclosed his identity before losing consciousness, Uehara Naraku wouldn't have known he was Uchiha Obito...
So where did Hatake Kakashi find out he was Obito?
This question must be investigated.
Obito didn't quite believe Black Zetsu would disclose his information to Hatake Kakashi, as it would offer no benefit to their plan.
This made it even more terrifying.
If someone had long known his identity, wouldn't it mean that they had been covertly aware of all his plans? This was the biggest concern.
Secondly, the crisis of his exposed identity must be resolved quickly.
Everyone present who knew his identity, Karin and Uehara Naraku, were on the must-kill list, but before killing Uehara Naraku, he had to learn from him why those paper bombs kept summoning around him, and whether that Jutsu was a special move Konan researched to counter him.
As for solving those infinitely summoning paper bombs, Uchiha Obito had already considered a plan: as long as the paper bombs didn't stick to his body and lock him, a deadly situation like before shouldn't reoccur.
Besides Uehara and Karin, there was also Hoshigaki Kisame.
However, Kisame always believed he was Uchiha Madara, and he could probe him slightly later. If Hoshigaki Kisame remained loyal to him, he might just be kept.
As for the troublesome Hatake Kakashi, he definitely couldn't be killed, as he still needed to find out from him who had leaked the information...
The last issue, if his identity was thoroughly exposed and Konan and Nagato realized that he wasn't Uchiha Madara, how should he regain their trust?
A successor of Uchiha Madara?
No, as long as he was a powerful Uchiha, it would suffice!
After all, Obito had long tired of being Uchiha Madara's puppet and living under his name, that old man was long dead!
Uchiha Obito clenched his fist, acknowledging that in this Ninja World, only powerful ninjas could have the right to speak.
If Nagato couldn't counter his Kamui ability, the plan would have to carry on as it was.
As long as he still possessed the Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan, he could continue to control everything from the shadows.
"Now, first go find Hatake Kakashi, and take this opportunity to extract the most crucial information from him and find out who's been plotting against me!"
Uchiha Obito grabbed a headband from a Mist Village ninja, casually wiped the blood off his hands, and threw the blood-stained headband onto the corpse of the Mist Village ninja.
Then he stepped over the bodies, treading the blood-soaked ground, a spatial vortex appearing beside him, drawing him into the Kamui Space, leaving behind a field filled with the horrifyingly dead Mist Village ninjas.
While Uchiha Obito was massacring the Mist Village ninjas, Uehara Naraku had already flown with Hoshigaki Kisame to a secluded mountain, discarding the shark-faced ninja on the ground.
Hoshigaki Kisame didn't mind at all, gazing at the young man standing before him, and even laughed as he spoke: "Ha, I thought you were going to kill me..."
"That would be too much of a waste of resources."
Uehara Naraku glanced at the Shark Skin Greatsword climbing onto Kisame, quietly continuing: "I advise you to give up the idea of resisting, and tell me the information about that mysterious masked man."
"Do you plan to extract information from my mouth?"
Hoshigaki Kisame let go of Shark Skin's hilt, smiling as he retorted to Uehara Naraku: "Knowing that you're all members of the same organization, but you come to me, an unrelated person, doesn't it seem a bit unwise?"
Uehara Naraku silently lowered his head, looking into Hoshigaki Kisame's small eyes on the ground, suddenly smiling and saying: "Master Kisame, since when did you start enjoying talking nonsense?"
The next second, Uehara's smile promptly vanished, and he spoke coldly: "Alright, let's not waste each other's time, Hoshigaki Kisame. Do you think what you see is the truth of the Ninja World?"
Kisame's expression remained calm, seemingly accustomed to life and death, he softly asked: "What do you believe is the truth, my friend? Aren't you just another ignorant person trying to extract some nonsensical information from me?"
As he spoke, he took advantage of Uehara being off guard, his fingers quietly coming together, attempting to stealthily form hand seals.
Uehara Naraku kicked away his hand, staring directly into Kisame's eyes, speaking in a deep voice: "Hoshigaki Kisame, don't try any small tricks in front of me... If I catch you doing it again, I'll chop your Shark Skin to pieces and feed it to the dogs!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Hoshigaki Kisame instinctively let go of the hilt, and the Shark Skin Greatsword scurried to the side, trying to hide.
