"Escape? Why should we escape? Isn't this Konoha?"
Rin didn't understand why Obito would say that.
As a Konoha ninja, why would he think about fleeing the village?
Did Obito want to become a rogue ninja?
Thinking this, Rin hurriedly said, "Obito, you mustn't think that way!"
Surrounded by the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and others, Rin believed that Obito absolutely couldn't escape.
Who could get away in front of these people? No one in the entire ninja world could do that!
"Rin."
"Alright, stop wasting time. Just hand Rin over to me, and I'll bring her back completely."
Obito wanted to say more to Rin, but Senju Tobirama really didn't want to waste any more time.
He flashed behind Obito and kicked the hand that was holding Rin away, sending the physical form of Obito flying.
"Damn it! I won't hand Rin over to you!"
Obito, who had been kicked away, was very unwilling and got back up, yelling angrily.
To avoid letting Obito disturb him, Senju Tobirama turned to Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, you take care of him. Don't let him interfere with me."
"Yes, Lord Second Hokage."
Kakashi was grateful that the Second Hokage entrusted this matter to him.
With so many people present, it wouldn't take much effort to hold Obito back.
Who among the Third Hokage, Fifth Hokage, Orochimaru, and the younger version of Danzo could be easy to deal with?
Once they started fighting, Obito's Kamui would fail in five minutes, and he'd be beaten down to the point of being helpless.
To lessen Obito's suffering, Kakashi was determined to hold him back.
"Obito, let me see how much you've improved over the years."
Kakashi knew that anything he said now would probably go unheard by Obito.
So he decisively made his move against Obito.
"Bastard Kakashi, don't think you can win against me. I'm not the same as before!"
Obito yelled again and lunged forward, reaching out his right hand toward Kakashi.
Kakashi knew what Obito intended, but he didn't resist and collided with Obito's hand.
After a twist in space, Kakashi was pulled into the Kamui space by Obito.
At the same time, Obito appeared in this space, facing Kakashi directly, and mocked him, "Kakashi, you idiot! How dare you enter my Kamui space without resisting? You're so arrogant."
"Arrogant? I don't think so."
"Heh, you say you're not arrogant? Let me tell you, in this space, there's no water, no food. If I just leave you here, you'll die of thirst and hunger."
"Is that so? Did you forget you left a Sharingan on me?"
Saying this, Kakashi lifted his forehead protector, revealing his three-tomoe Sharingan.
"You think you can escape with just this three-tomoe Sharingan? Don't dream."
"Three tomoes? Of course not. I haven't been standing still all these years."
As the three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, it quickly transformed into a shuriken-shaped Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Why? You don't even have Uchiha blood. The three tomoe should be your limit. How did you evolve it into a Mangekyō?"
Seeing the Mangekyō Sharingan in Kakashi's eye, Obito looked very surprised.
Even members of the Uchiha clan found it extremely difficult to possess a Mangekyō Sharingan.
How could Kakashi, an outsider, advance to Mangekyō?
"I don't know either. Maybe it's because of the bond between you and me."
Before Kakashi watched the light screen, he had already noticed that the Sharingan Obito gave him seemed to have a problem.
At that time, he didn't know what the problem was until he entered the Hokage's office, watched the video on the light screen, and was informed by the Third Hokage and Jiraiya about Obito and the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Only then did he realize that the Sharingan Obito gifted him could potentially evolve into a Mangekyō Sharingan.
During this time, he had been trying hard to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
After spending over twenty days, he finally evolved the Sharingan into a Mangekyō five days ago.
With the Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi no longer had to fear Obito's Kamui.
Because this Mangekyō's ability was also Kamui.
However, unlike Obito's, which allowed him to become intangible and pull people into another dimension, Kakashi's Mangekyō couldn't make him intangible but could distort space from a distance, forcibly severing his enemies' limbs and sending them to the Kamui dimension.
If Obito's Mangekyō leaned towards defense, Kakashi's was more focused on offense.
Of course, with this Mangekyō, he could also use the spatial distortion ability to send himself away.
"You're talking nonsense. Who do you think I have a bond with?"
Obito yelled, glaring fiercely at Kakashi. He continued, "Fifteen years, do you know how I've spent these fifteen years? Do you know?"
"Obito."
"Stop calling me that! When you killed Rin, Obito was already dead. Standing in front of you now is Madara... Uchiha Madara!"
"I'm sorry about Rin."
"Don't apologize to me. If apologies were useful, why would we need ninjas?"
"Obito."
"Enough! I told you not to call me Obito!"
Beneath the mask, Obito's face grew increasingly twisted with rage, and his gaze became more ferocious.
"I trusted you so much back then. I repeatedly asked you to take care of Rin and even gave you a Sharingan as a gift for becoming a Jonin. But what did you do? I can never forget how you pierced Rin's chest with your Chidori. You murderer! You killed Rin, and I will take revenge for her!"
After speaking, Obito charged at Kakashi without hesitation.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
A massive fireball shot out of Obito's mouth.
In response to the fireball, Kakashi quickly formed hand seals and used Water Style.
"Water Style: Water Wall."
The fireball collided with the water wall, producing a thick cloud of steam.
In an instant, the visibility in the Kamui space dropped rapidly due to the mist.
Whoosh~
A sharp wind rushed towards him, and Kakashi hurriedly ducked.
Obito, wielding a kunai, barely cut a few strands of Kakashi's hair.
"Obito, are you serious?"
"I told you, I want to kill you for Rin's sake."
"But Rin has already been revived, right?"
"Kakashi, I may have had poor grades back then, but you can't fool me. Can you really call Edo Tensei a revival?"
As they spoke, they exchanged blows several more times.
Each time, Kakashi narrowly avoided Obito's attacks.
Maybe out of guilt, Kakashi didn't fight back at all.
After a few more rounds of combat, Obito noticed this.
He didn't appreciate Kakashi's restraint; instead, he shouted angrily, "Damn Kakashi, do you look down on me?"
"No, not at all. Stop saying that."
"Then why aren't you fighting back?"
"Well, I just don't want Rin to be sad. You know, if anything happens to either of us, she would be heartbroken."
"Don't use Rin as a shield. It's either you die or I live today."
Kakashi: ???
So, I have to die, huh!
