"Ah~" A white hand flew into the sky.
Obito let out a scream, instinctively raising his hand to block at the critical moment, thus dodging a fatal attack.
Uchiha Nagi narrowed his eyes, pressing his advantage. As soon as he landed, he stomped his feet hard, increasing his speed to cut Obito down before his eyesight could recover.
Boom! The detonator exploded as well.
Using the force of the explosion, Obito stomped his feet and jumped backward.
The technique of interrupting Kamui at close range was interrupted the moment it materialized, and Uchiha Nagi used the Solar Flare to dazzle him and cut off his hand in the process. It seemed like it took a long time, but in reality it was less than a second.
How fast are ninjas? The Fourth Hokage could tear off Naruto's clothes and teleport away the instant the explosive tag exploded. Obito wasn't as fast as the Fourth Hokage, but his reaction time was still quite good.
Swoosh—
Nagi Uchiha's short sword sliced across Obito's neck, but it was too late. Obito had entered intangible mode, and the sword passed over his neck without any contact.
Although he was temporarily blind, it did not mean that he could not use Kamui.
"I underestimated you. Where did you get my information from?" After a few seconds, Obito slowly removed his other hand from his eyes.
Nagi Uchiha did not answer, because Obito losing an arm did not mean he was no match for her. Kamui's incredible power had already put him in an invincible position, while she was just a Jonin.
In the ninja world, intelligence is of paramount importance. As long as a plan is devised to exploit the opponent's weaknesses, even a Jonin has a chance to defeat a Kage-level powerhouse.
"I'll remember you, Uchiha Nagi, right? Don't die, I look forward to seeing you again..." Obito said in a sinister tone, then activated Kamui and disappeared in a vortex.
"Phew~ They're finally gone." Uchiha Nagi wiped the sweat from his brow. If he'd been even slightly careless, he would have been dead. He ran over, picked up Obito's white arm, and put it into a storage scroll. This thing was extremely useful...
Nagi Uchiha successfully escaped the Uchiha clan compound. Since the Uchiha clan had migrated outside Konoha, escaping the Root's barrier meant she was halfway to safety...
The Art of [Eliminating Facial Features]
————
Three days later, a group of merchants from the Land of Wind were slowly walking through the lush forests of Konoha. Konoha has a unique geographical location, with trees that are over ten meters tall everywhere.
They were about to return to their village with wagons full of grain and goods.
Swoosh, swoosh—
Two teams of masked Konoha ninja quickly surrounded the convoy. "Kill them all, leave no one alive," the masked captain ordered.
"Wait, have you misunderstood something? We are merchants from the Land of Wind, not spies. Our identities have been verified... Ah." Before the merchant leader could finish speaking, a kunai pierced his throat.
As a barrage of kunai pierced the numerous merchants, a dark figure suddenly leaped out from the crowd and ran away into the distance.
"That's the target. Leave one team to clear out the smaller fry, the rest of you follow me." The dog-headed squad leader gave the order and led his men in pursuit.
In the forest, Uchiha Nagi was filled with regret. He shouldn't have left Konoha in such a hurry. He still couldn't figure out how he had been exposed. The Face-Changing Technique should have been flawless, and he hadn't even missed the details of his scent and memories.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".
Several large fireballs flew towards Uchiha Nagi, abruptly interrupting his advance.
"It's you~" Uchiha Nagi's eyes widened. Uchiha Obito was standing on a big tree, smiling sinisterly, his severed hand still not reattached.
"Hehe, enjoy the gift I gave you. Remember, don't die." With that, Obito activated Kamui and slowly disappeared.
With him blocking their way, the root squad had already caught up.
Uchiha Nagi realized that Obito had leaked her whereabouts and was monitoring her with White Zetsu.
"Damn it, Obito, you just wait!" Uchiha Nagi was furious.
There was no time to lose, so Uchiha Nagi immediately created several shadow clones and ran around, hoping to buy some time.
Faced with several clones, the pursuit team had no choice but to split up again and chase after them once more.
"There's still a chance. My stealth is also very good. As long as I keep my distance, they won't be able to track me."
At that moment, more than a dozen shuriken came from behind Uchiha Nagi. Nagi dodged most of them, but when she couldn't dodge the remaining ones, she used her short sword to knock them away with a clanging sound.
Swoosh—
After knocking them down, Uchiha Nagi heard a few soft clanging sounds. Turning around, she saw that, sure enough, the shuriken flying behind her collided and then attacked her again.
"Earth Release: Earth Wall." Uchiha Nagi formed a hand seal, using a defensive ninjutsu to block the shuriken, because he saw that there were explosive tags inside the shuriken...
Uchiha Itachi, that traitor, was standing on the tree, staring straight at him with his three-tomoe eyes.
Uchiha Nagi squinted, trying to look at Itachi's neck and below, because even if Itachi didn't activate his Mangekyou Sharingan, he was still a master of genjutsu, and it was easy to fall into his trap.
"I didn't expect to miss one," Itachi said slowly.
Within the clan, all factors were taken into consideration, except for one thing: there was a hidden Jonin who, despite being listed as a Chunin for so many years.
"I never expected you to turn against your own kind," said Uchiha Nagi.
There was no point in saying more; both of them knew that only one of them could survive.
Itachi's presence here is undoubtedly at Danzo's request, to eliminate the escaped Uchiha clan.
As a transmigrator, Uchiha Nagi was confident that she had planned everything, but she never expected that Itachi, that traitor, would help Danzo hunt her down after his defection.
but--
Uchiha Nagi's lips curled into a mysterious smile. "Don't move, Uchiha Itachi. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll destroy Konoha. You don't want to see the Konoha you saved by killing your clansmen destroyed, do you?"
After saying that, he held a scroll covered with spells in his hand, which he used to remotely detonate the explosive talismans.
"Destroy Konoha?" Itachi Uchiha's expression was blank, but full of doubt. Even so, he still did not choose to take action. Planning before acting was his nature.
"The entire Hidden Leaf Village is already filled with explosive tags, including the Hokage Rock. As long as I detonate them, the entire Hidden Leaf Village will immediately turn into ruins with a bang. Everyone will die then, including your brother. Believe it or not." Uchiha Nagi was not flustered at all.
"What proof do you have?" Itachi had opened his kaleidoscope at some point.
"I can't prove it. You can take a gamble, but don't expect to control me with genjutsu..." After saying that, Uchiha Nagi stabbed herself in the shoulder with a kunai, avoiding a vital spot but sustaining excruciating pain.
He doesn't seem to be lying.
Itachi narrowed his eyes.
