Obito's roar was instantly swallowed by the rumble of the water dragon.
The enormous Water Dragon, like countless rapidly spinning water blades, frantically tore at Obito's flesh, which was forcibly pinned to the spot.
"Ugh! AHHH!"
The screams were continuous.
In the center of the rampaging water dragon, a bloody mist mixed with water vapor spread.
After an unknown amount of time, the violent water dragon finally exhausted its energy, dissipating into countless water droplets.
The water mist cleared, revealing a disheveled figure in the center.
Obito was drenched, his clothes in tatters. His mask had long been shattered, revealing half of his crushed face. His body was covered in countless fine cuts, and he struggled to his feet from the muddy ground.
He gasped for breath, his eyes filled with disbelief and fury.
During that terrifying cutting process, he tried countless times to escape into the Kamui dimension. But he despairingly found his body nailed to the spot as if by countless invisible stakes, he couldn't even use his intangibility.
He understood, it was that white-haired brat's damned ocular jutsu.
No, didn't he use Madara's Rinnegan?
Could it be that Satoshi had merged the power of the Rinnegan with the Mangekyo?
Obito spat out a mouthful of blood and stared intently at the Rinnegan in Satoshi's eyes, which belonged to Madara.
Obito said, "You're lucky to have awakened such a powerful ocular jutsu."
Satoshi shook his head. "No, it's not luck. I specifically targeted you."
Obito's pupils suddenly constricted, an unprecedented sense of absurdity impacting him.
To awaken a Mangekyo ocular jutsu specifically to target him?
This was simply unheard of. What kind of ridiculous technique was that?
Satoshi, however, no longer looked at him, turning his gaze to Naruto, Sasuke, and Guy, as well as Lee, who had been watching for a while.
He casually pointed the tip of his sword at the barely standing Obito and said, "Leave him to me. You all go protect the rest of the village, Kabuto has already infiltrated."
"He's approaching the Police Force's prison, his target is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Bee."
A cold drop of liquid fell onto Obito's neck without warning.
Was it rain?
No.
It was cold sweat dripping from his own forehead.
Why did this guy know Kabuto was here?
And knew Kabuto's target?
Even the specific route...
This intel was chillingly precise.
Satoshi said, "You're wondering how I knew Kabuto was here?"
Obito's body instantly stiffened, an unprecedented chill shooting from his feet to the top of his head.
The ability of his other eye...
Surely it wasn't mind-reading?
If that were true, predicting movements, sealing space, discerning thoughts—how could he even fight?
No, this was just a coincidence.
Oh, right, when he invaded Konoha last time, Satoshi was waiting for him at Naruto's house early.
No, if that were truly the case, then he couldn't have left alive.
Oh, that's right, he hadn't unlocked the Mangekyo at that time.
No, then how would he have known he was there?
Oh... No... Oh...
What the hell?!
Just fight!
If one eye isn't working, then what about the other?
Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance!
He rapidly formed hand signs, his Mangekyo spinning wildly.
A violent vortex of flames instantly formed, aided by the whirlwind generated by the distortion of Kamui. It transformed into a roaring, giant flame tornado, rushing towards Satoshi with destructive force.
Sage Art: Water Release: Water Formation Wall!
A thick wall of water instantly rose from the ground, meeting the flame tornado.
Water and fire collided, erupting into a sky full of steaming white mist.
Just as the water vapor spread and vision was obscured, an extremely fast afterimage had already torn through the mist.
Satoshi's figure appeared behind Obito as if teleporting, moving too fast for the eye to follow.
The sword in his hand, accompanied by a soft, pattering rain, silently extended.
Flying Thunder God Slash.
Pfft.
The sharp blade pierced Obito's back with incredible precision.
"Ugh!"
Obito's body trembled violently, his eyes filled with the humiliation of being dominated by Flying Thunder God again.
Bang!
Following the stab was a heavy side kick.
Obito was violently kicked more than ten meters away, tumbling on the muddy ground, leaving a long trail of blood before he finally managed to stop.
"Eh?"
Satoshi shook the blood from his blade, looking at Obito's pierced heart. "He's not dead yet?"
The terrifying vitality derived from Hashirama's cells was forcibly repairing the fatal injury.
Obito struggled again, trying to push himself up, but his movements were even more difficult than before. His expression grew uglier and uglier.
The first time they met in Konoha, it was this damned Flying Thunder God that caused him great trouble. Now, history was repeating itself.
Even more critically, the Kamui he was so proud of was completely ineffective in front of Satoshi.
As for the left eye he retrieved from Kakashi, it became a pathetic ornament in the face of Flying Thunder God's absolute speed.
He couldn't fight, he simply couldn't fight.
Satoshi, however, no longer gave him a chance to breathe. He steadily raised Murasame, its cold blade glinting in the rain. Rainwater slid down the blade, dripping with a soft sound.
Those Rinnegan calmly watched the disheveled Obito.
"Now, it's my turn."
"Damn it!" Obito exclaimed.
Before he could react, the sharp Murasame pierced his shoulder.
The next second, Satoshi reached for his second blade, stabbing it through Obito's throat.
"Ugh..."
Obito clutched his throat, bright red blood slowly seeping out.
"You..."
Obito's response was an explosion that seemed to never stop.
Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags Technique!
Boom... Boom...
Violent explosions echoed throughout Konoha.
After an unknown amount of time, the explosions slowly ceased.
From the smoke generated by the explosions, Satoshi walked out. A true man never looks back at explosions.
"Is that all? I thought it was something great. Trash."
Satoshi put away his twin blades, preparing to support the other ninjas of the village.
He seemed not to notice that, within the thick fog, Obito quietly stood up. One of his eyes had turned a ghastly white like stone, looking terrifying.
The Uchiha clan's forbidden jutsu, Izanagi.
The caster pays the price of one Sharingan to turn any unfavorable events that occur within a certain period into something that never happened, only choosing to make favorable events a reality.
The corner of Obito's lips curled into an arc. While Satoshi was completely unprepared, he was confident he could twist off his head.
"Kam..."
Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!
An earth wall carved with dog heads rose from the ground, blocking the space between Satoshi and Obito.
A white figure leaped down, clutching a kunai and fiercely stabbing towards Obito. The sharp kunai pierced Obito's raised left arm.
Obito looked at Kakashi in disbelief. "Kakashi..."
"Obito..."
Kakashi withdrew his right hand, which would never be clean.
Last time, he used this hand to kill Rin. Today, he used this hand again to severely wound his former best friend, Obito.
Satoshi, at some unknown point, had already jumped onto the high wall. "Senpai, if it weren't for you, I might have been killed."
Kakashi looked at Satoshi and said, "This is a grudge between Obito and me. It should be me who ends it with my own hands."
"Alright."
"Thank you."
Kakashi once again fixed his gaze on Obito, then raised his right hand, forming the Confrontation Seal.
After a brief silence, Obito straightened his body, also forming the Confrontation Seal.
"Battle start!"
