"Uchiha Itsuki!!!"
Obito roared.
"Obito, Obito, Obito..."
Screw Obito!
You're Obito, but who am I?
I seriously doubt you know my true identity!
You must be messing with me!
"Uchiha Madara, I told you, call me Uchiha Obito!!!"
Itsuki also shouted in anger.
"Are you deaf or something? Do you want me to make you dance?!"
"You, you..."
Obito was trembling all over.
His heart, liver, and lungs ached!
Are you really Uchiha Obito? But the problem is, I'm not Uchiha Madara!
I can't even argue confidently!
In the end, Obito gritted his teeth, his body twisted, and he disappeared with Kamui.
No wonder every time Pain mentioned Itsuki, he always had a grim expression and a fierce face.
Understanding is key!
"Tch!"
Itsuki snorted in dissatisfaction, "Leaving without even saying goodbye, so rude. Uchiha Madara, is this it? Next time, I'll just say my name is Uchiha Tajima! Uchiha Madara, will you call me 'Dad' then?"
He strode away.
Obito wouldn't leave that easily.
After gaining part of Madara's memories, Obito himself also picked up some of Madara's arrogance.
But!
Madara's strength made it confidence.
If you, Obito, really think you're Madara, then you're just a fool.
Without Hashirama Senju, Madara could sweep the entire shinobi world alone.
But you, Obito... yeah, not so much!
The crematorium was deserted but located in a bustling area, full of people. It wasn't suitable for battle, so once he left...
Sure enough!
When Itsuki was walking down a quiet road, a strange feeling suddenly struck him.
A kunai appeared in Itsuki's hand, and he stabbed backward.
"Buzz!"
The masked man in the orange mask appeared. Itsuki's kunai passed through his head and hand.
As if nothing was there!
Just as the kunai passed through his hand and left completely...
"Smack!"
Obito grabbed Itsuki's arm in a reverse hold.
"I win!"
"Buzz!"
The power of Kamui surged, trying to suck Itsuki into his unique dimension.
Itsuki sneered.
"Shwoosh!"
Flying Thunder God activated.
Itsuki appeared a few meters away, standing on a tree, coldly watching Obito.
Kamui, a space-time ninjutsu, was strange. Fortunately, Flying Thunder God was also space-time.
"This unique power... Mangekyou, huh? Space-time ninjutsu."
"Heh, you guess!"
Obito sneered, pulling out chains and fastening them to his arm.
Itsuki: "..."
This scene looked way too familiar.
The Fourth Hokage hadn't fought many battles, but this was one of the most classic ones.
Teacher versus student!
The Fourth Hokage completely thrashed Obito, showing him who was still the boss.
Of course, even the Fourth Hokage couldn't finish off Obito.
"Too bad, I'm not the Fourth Hokage!"
Watching Obito swing his arms up and down, left and right, like some suction cup doll, Itsuki felt an overwhelming urge to slap him.
And he did just that.
"Come on!"
The kunai in Itsuki's hand spun twice before he flung it at Obito, swiftly closing in.
Obito charged forward without hesitation.
The kunai pierced through his head again, passing through.
Clang!
Chains clattered as they wrapped toward Itsuki.
Shwoosh!
Itsuki vanished again.
"Flying Thunder God, so annoying!"
Obito coldly watched Itsuki leap to the side, a hint of rage flashing in his eyes.
"Don't worry, it'll be over soon!"
Itsuki grinned, trying to reassure him.
"I think so too!"
The two charged at each other once more.
Itsuki's kunai once again brushed past Obito.
Both their Sharingans exploded with intensity at this moment.
They locked eyes, waiting for the moment the kunai left his body.
In that instant, the battle would be decided.
The kunai passed through Obito's head, moving from front to back.
As the tail end of the kunai finally left Obito...
Obito reached Itsuki's body.
"You can't escape. I've won!"
Obito's pupils shrank, a glint of joy flashing in his eyes.
He had solved the problem of Uchiha Itsuki!
But then...
"Smack!"
A round stone struck Obito square in the face.
Imagine, someone charging forward, only to smash their face into a rock. That's how it felt.
Sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty—all the flavors at once!
Obito was stunned.
His body kept trembling.
What the heck?!
He had clearly touched him, so why didn't Itsuki get sucked into Kamui's space?
Obito was both shocked and furious.
Flying Thunder God!
He suddenly realized that, just as he was about to make contact, that bastard had moved back a tiny bit.
That tiny bit was the key!
Obito clenched his teeth through the pain on his face, reaching for Itsuki again.
Shwoosh!
Itsuki vanished once more.
This time, he appeared above Obito and stomped down hard.
"Smack!"
Obito slammed into the ground.
"I don't know how to make Rasengan, so I'll just kick you. Hope that's okay."
Itsuki casually said as he reached for Obito's neck.
This fight was about to end!
Buzz!
The ground trembled, and countless tree branches burst out, shooting toward Itsuki.
"Whoa, Wood Release!"
Itsuki's expression shifted.
Though he knew Obito could use Wood Release, seeing it in person was still shocking.
For a Uchiha, the most memorable thing was probably Wood Release.
Their clans had clashed countless times over the years.
Shwoosh!
Flying Thunder God activated again.
Itsuki returned to the tree, quietly watching Obito.
Obito struggled to move, glaring at Itsuki with a look that could kill.
"Cough cough, don't look at me like that. I understand you and can imagine your pain."
Itsuki chuckled awkwardly, then curiously asked, "So... did it explode?"
"Uchiha Itsuki!!!"
Obito growled through gritted teeth.
"Tsk tsk, Madara, you're starting to look more and more like Danzo!"
Itsuki looked up at the sky and sighed, "Back in the day, Danzo had a little ball too, which I blew up. At that time, I used a special type of explosive tag."
"But this time... it's a bit more violent. I didn't do it on purpose, you'll forgive me, right?"
"If not, I might have to blow up the other one too."
Obito glared at Itsuki with a fierce expression, his body twisting as he disappeared into a space-time distortion.
This damn bastard—if given the chance, I'll definitely kill him.
Definitely!
