A bit embarrassing.
This was Uchiha Obito's first thought.
It was a great humiliation for a Uchiha, who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, to be criticized by a Senju while using Uchiha weapons.
However, the Uchiha clan had always been stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat. Even if they accidentally took the wrong path, they would stubbornly praise the scenery along the way.
"I'll use it however I want!"
Uchiha Obito, with his typical Uchiha arrogance, swung his blazing fan with an air of arrogance, using it as a weapon!
"Fool..."
Tobirama looked at Uchiha Obito with disdain, feeling that this Uchiha traitor was a complete fool. A weapon that one doesn't know how to use only adds trouble in battle!
"Sigh..."
Minato could only sigh helplessly, instantly appearing beside Uchiha Obito, pressing a Rasengan onto his body!
The Flying Thunder God mark wouldn't disappear!
Uchiha Obito was the mysterious masked man who caused the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha. Minato had left a Flying Thunder God mark on his back, and it couldn't be erased!
However...
This time was different!
Uchiha Obito's body instantly became intangible, dodging Minato's Rasengan. He swung his fan at Minato, saying, "Sensei, I won't fall for it this time!"
A vine suddenly emerged from the ground, grabbing Uchiha Obito's arm, forcing him to become intangible again, abandoning his attack on Minato!
"The Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities are truly strange..."
Hashirama could only give up attacking, sighing softly, "Even in the Warring States period, I've never seen such a mysterious ability..."
"It's just a space-time ability..."
Tobirama sneered, disdainful of Uchiha Obito's intangibility ability. He had already obtained some information about Uchiha Obito from White Zetsu.
"He can't maintain that state forever!"
Tobirama, wielding a ninja blade, charged towards Uchiha Obito, "Charge directly, once he enters that state, he can't attack!"
"..."
The four Hokage immediately surrounded him!
Uchiha Obito, undaunted, fought the four Hokage with his Mangekyō Sharingan. In less than a minute, he was beaten badly by the four Hokage!
The longest Uchiha Obito could maintain his intangibility was five minutes.
But within less than five minutes, due to his carelessness in trying to attack the weakest Third Hokage, he was caught by Tobirama and Minato!
Tobirama's blade slashed across his chest!
Blood spurted from Uchiha Obito's chest!
"Rasengan!"
Minato's Rasengan hit Uchiha Obito's back again!
Uchiha Obito, looking at Tobirama, and then at his teacher Minato, deeply felt the trouble these two Flying Thunder God users posed. He couldn't understand how Tobirama managed to place the Flying Thunder God mark on him!
Now...
A troublesome problem had arisen...
Whenever he attacked, these two Flying Thunder God users could instantly teleport and catch him, injuring or even killing him!
Didn't this mean...
He could only take a beating?
Of course.
He wasn't worried about being beaten.
The key was that the four reincarnated Hokage had infinite chakra and stamina, so he didn't have to worry about the duration of the battle. How long would he have to endure this beating?
"I'll have to retreat for now."
Uchiha Obito decided to leave.
A space-time vortex appeared in his Mangekyō Sharingan, intending to absorb his body and find a safe place to think of a countermeasure!
The next moment!
Two figures appeared beside him again!
Minato and Tobirama had long known that Uchiha Obito would have to become tangible to absorb anything, and their Flying Thunder God technique allowed them to appear and kill Uchiha Obito during that time!
"..."
Panic-stricken, Uchiha Obito could only stop absorbing his body, instantly becoming intangible to avoid their attacks!
Not good...
He couldn't escape!
Unless he used Izanagi, the invincible time of Izanagi would allow his body to withstand their attacks and leave...
Wait!
Since he had Izanagi...
Why should he escape? He could just deal with these Hokage here!
Uchiha Obito immediately realized he had a perfect countermeasure. He could use Izanagi during the invincible state of his Mangekyō Sharingan, then use Izanagi's invincible time to endure the cooldown of his intangibility...
If he did this...
He could maintain a long invincible state, deal with these enemies, at the cost of one expendable Sharingan.
However...
The four Hokage had anticipated this.
Tobirama and Minato, the two Flying Thunder God users, were like fangs hidden in the shadows. Hashirama and Sarutobi Hiruzen only needed to assist occasionally!
Five minutes later.
Uchiha Obito, using the invincible state of Izanagi, absorbed himself into the Kamui space of his Mangekyō Sharingan, hastily escaping!
Before leaving.
The ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan he transplanted was slowly losing sight. Using his only remaining Mangekyō Sharingan, he coldly glanced at the two attacking Hokage, saying, "Next time, you won't be so lucky..."
"..."
The four Hokage frowned simultaneously, wondering what gave Uchiha Obito, who had been beaten all along, the confidence to say such a thing.
In a hidden base.
After returning, Uchiha Obito's first task was to quickly find a replacement Sharingan to replace the blinded three-tomoe Sharingan.
"You lost."
Zetsu emerged from the ground.
The entire battle had been within their observation and anticipation.
No matter how miraculous Uchiha Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan was, it couldn't defeat the four Hokage of Konoha. Even Zetsu didn't expect Uchiha Obito to be beaten so badly...
"Let Kagura deal with these troubles..."
White Zetsu suggested, thinking it was best to avoid unnecessary trouble: "Next time, the outcome won't change. Even if Madara is resurrected, he won't gain any advantage with the four Hokage present..."
"That's right."
Black Zetsu agreed with White Zetsu.
If Uchiha Obito had performed a bit better, Black Zetsu might have considered letting him, but Uchiha Obito's performance was disappointing.
The battle lasted ten minutes.
In those ten minutes, Uchiha Obito was beaten for five minutes, never launching a proper counterattack. Even the invincible time of Izanagi, which allowed him to attack, was wasted by the four Hokage's delay.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Uchiha Obito gritted his teeth and issued an order, "Let Akihara Kagura, that kid, find a way to lure them away!"
"Fortunately..."
White Zetsu sighed in relief, even a bit thankful: "Fortunately, we planted Kagura in Konoha as a spy in advance, or our plan might have been ruined..."
"But there's also a problem..."
White Zetsu looked at Uchiha Obito, raising another issue: "Awei told me that no one in Konoha can obstruct the four Hokage's decisions. Even if Kagura can delay, it will only be for a while, not long..."
"Delay as long as possible!"
Uchiha Obito didn't want to go through that battle again.
"There might be another way..."
Black Zetsu suggested, a grin forming on his half-face: "Find a way to hasten Kagura's research on reviving Madara with full power through the Reanimation Jutsu. If Madara, with the Rinnegan, can be revived..."
If Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito teamed up, it wouldn't be impossible to defeat them. Victory was achievable since the only truly noteworthy opponent among the four Hokage was the First Hokage Hashirama, the others were just support!
Even though...
Uchiha Obito couldn't deal with those supports...
In Konoha Village.
Akihara Kagura, sitting in the Root base, received the information from White Zetsu Awei and Uchiha Obito's mission.
[System Prompt]: [New Task (Uchiha Obito), lure the four Hokage away to prevent them from continuing to chase Uchiha Obito.]
For Akihara Kagura, this was a trivial matter.
This task could even become a repetitive cycle.
While Kagura had Awei inform Uchiha Obito that the mission was complete, he also called the four Hokage back for a meeting.
After some time, he would have them chase Uchiha Obito again, trying to use this method to strip all the inherited assets from Uchiha Obito until Madara could be resurrected.
Konoha Village calmed down.
Uchiha Sasuke's defection didn't have much impact.
After all, he was just an ordinary genin in the village, only notable for being the last of the Uchiha clan, not causing much of a stir.
However...
Team 7 was disbanded.
With Uchiha Sasuke defecting to Orochimaru, Jiraiya decided to take Naruto Uzumaki away for training, leaving Haruno Sakura alone in Team 7.
The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, took Haruno Sakura as her disciple, scattering all the genin of Team 7, but each became a disciple of the three legendary sannin.
Within two to three years.
Life in Konoha suddenly calmed down.
However, the ninja world became more turbulent. Uchiha Obito was frequently pursued by the four Hokage, forcing him to escape to avoid implicating the Akatsuki's plans.
During this period, Uchiha Obito lost hundreds of Sharingan to evade the pursuit. The Sharingan he collected during the Uchiha massacre were gradually exhausted.
At this time...
Uchiha Obito realized the preciousness of the Sharingan.
Even his superior asked White Zetsu Awei to inquire if Kagura could send some Sharingan from Konoha's dual bloodline ninjas.
Land of Snow.
It was covered in ice and snow.
Uchiha Obito wrapped himself in a thick cloak, warming his hands with his breath. He was chased by the four Hokage all the way here.
Now, Uchiha Obito was completely different from before.
Once, Uchiha Obito could stir up turmoil in the Akatsuki and the ninja world, even controlling a major nation's village and manipulating the strongest rogue ninja organization.
Of course.
In a certain sense.
Uchiha Obito could still influence the Akatsuki and even Konoha through Kagura.
However...
His image was quite different.
At this time, the only clean thing on Uchiha Obito was his newly bought cloak. His clothes were tattered, full of holes from his battles with the four Hokage.
The four Hokage were too strong!
Even with his extraordinary space-time dōjutsu, his opponents had space-time techniques, infinite chakra, and unimaginable attack power, leaving Uchiha Obito unable to counterattack, only able to endure being hunted.
"I only have eleven Sharingan left..."
Uchiha Obito cherished his remaining Sharingan, not daring to waste them, as each was a life: "When will that kid send me more Sharingan..."
"Kagura can't send extra Sharingan."
Zetsu emerged from the ground, cautiously speaking: "Because the Second Hokage issued a ban, forbidding dual bloodline ninjas from leaving Konoha. He wants to experiment on them, and Kagura can't defy his orders..."
"That kid is unreliable!"
Uchiha Obito squinted, full of dissatisfaction with Kagura: "The last time the Hokage left wasn't even seven days ago, and they're here again. If I hadn't diverted them in time, the Akatsuki would have been destroyed..."
White Zetsu looked at Uchiha Obito, speaking softly: "Awei said Kagura will find a way to lure the four Hokage back to Konoha. Over the years, to help you evade the four Hokage, he's repeatedly invited them back, getting scolded more and more by the Second Hokage Tobirama..."
"That's the trouble he caused!"
Uchiha Obito recalled the mess caused by Kagura's reckless use of the Reanimation Jutsu, making him endure years of pursuit: "That kid's recklessness brought this trouble, and I have to clean it up!"
"Forget it, Obito..."
White Zetsu continued to comfort Uchiha Obito: "Once the Akatsuki starts collecting tailed beasts to revive the Ten-Tails, everything will get better…"
