...
Facing Minato Namikaze's Rasengan that was already close to his face, Obito knew he had been utterly pushed to the brink.
Powerless to turn the tide.
Repeated use of Kamui had caused his right eye to bleed; neither intangibility nor teleportation could be used at such close range.
Completely... he had been outmaneuvered.
After all, how did Konoha's ninjas discover the coordinates he left in the village?
Perhaps only when a person is near death can they see their true self clearly. Facing the ball of white light in his teacher's hand, Obito seemed to glimpse the days of "Team Minato" in the past.
Those were truly... unforgettable happy times.
Obito raised his hands and quickly formed seals.
Although he recalled his time as "Uchiha Obito of Team Minato," it didn't mean he had let go of the hatred in his heart.
He was utterly disappointed with this decaying and cruel ninja world.
There was no time to explore whether what Gojo Kaigetsu said was true or false. Since that was the case, he could only steadfastly carry out his own ninja way!
Even if he died in battle, he absolutely couldn't leave his eyes behind.
Even if he died in battle... he would never let his true face be exposed before Minato Namikaze.
He didn't need any pity!
Then he would destroy everything!
"Izanagi-!!!"
Izanagi.
The ultimate ocular jutsu of the Uchiha clan. A Sharingan user can activate it by forming the three seals.
It can turn unfavorable events that happened to oneself within a certain period into things that never happened, choosing only favorable events to become reality.
The duration varies according to each person's ability, but after use, the Sharingan that performed the technique will go blind.
In other words, even if he died in Konoha, all he would leave them is a blind, unusable Sharingan. And the left eye on Kakashi would never evolve into a Mangekyō in his lifetime.
This was his final hatred left for Konoha.
With Obito's current ocular power, he could fully restore himself to the state before his heart was pierced.
But the key is... he only had his right eye to use.
All his combat power depended entirely on the Mangekyō Sharingan. Even if he returned to his state before his heart was pierced, without his right eye, how much strength would he have left?
Fire Release ninjutsu? Don't be ridiculous.
This was Konoha's forest, Konoha's main battleground. Without an immediate escape, even if he tangled with Minato Namikaze for a while, he would soon be exhausted to death by the arriving Anbu and Police Force.
In other words... certain death.
"If only I were ruthless enough to take back the left eye implanted in Kakashi and use the left Kamui..."
"If I had the power of both Kamui, I could definitely kill Gojo Kaigetsu..."
"In this cruel ninja world, those who can't give up anything can't change anything."
"I'm sorry, Rin; I might break my promise."
While activating Izanagi, Obito controlled the White Zetsu cells on half of his body to corrode his left face, covering it with ravine-like wrinkles all over. Now, even a horse wouldn't recognize him.
"Rasengan-!"
After forming the seals, Obito slightly opened his arms, calmly accepting his fate of death.
In the next second, the huge Rasengan slammed into Obito's heart.
The smooth hole that had been pierced by [Purple] expanded again, affecting his entire heart.
Boom-!
Obito's body flew backward as if struck by a Black Elbow, crashing heavily into an ancient tree in Konoha's forest. Under such tremendous impact, the thick ancient tree immediately showed cracks.
Obito, unable to rise again.
"Is it over..."
Minato Namikaze withdrew his hand but did not relax his vigilance.
This is how ninja battles are; until the last moment, you never know what trump cards the enemy might have. Therefore, Minato remained extremely cautious, slowly approaching the mysterious masked man.
After confirming that the opponent's heart had been completely pierced, Minato leaned down and placed his hand on the cracked mask.
He slowly removed it.
...
...
"Useless, Uchiha Obito!"
"That's what you get for being arrogant, for infiltrating Konoha alone to assassinate!"
Because he was worried about Obito, Black Zetsu had secretly followed, using the Mayfly Technique to hide underground at a distance, witnessing everything with his own eyes.
That one glance felt like an eternity.
Black Zetsu felt as if his world had collapsed.
Even a pet dog develops feelings after being raised for a long time. How long had he been nurturing Uchiha Obito, this Mangekyō Sharingan user?
Damn it!
Every cycle was the most hopeful one, each given high expectations by Black Zetsu.
But each time, the successors of Indra were brutally defeated by the successors of Asura, babbling about friendship and bonds.
And now, Uchiha Obito, whom he had high hopes for, died on the path of the plan. The efforts he had secretly planned and cultivated over the years were wasted again.
The Fourth Great Ninja War hadn't even started yet, and now he'd have to aim for the fifth.
Black Zetsu was furious; thousands of years of patience crumbled at this moment.
But, as the saying goes:
"Smooth sailing for Kaguya, desperation drives Black Zetsu wild..." Black Zetsu had always been someone unwilling to bow to fate.
Otherwise, after so many years, he would have long given up on the "Black Zetsu Saves Mother" plan.
Now, the question was whether Uchiha Obito could still be saved.
Uchiha Obito had always been the most loyal pawn in the plan, as evidenced by his activation of Izanagi before dying.
The abilities of his Mangekyō were also the most practical that Black Zetsu had seen.
Now, although Obito was blind in one eye, he still had the other eye to use.
As long as he could heal Obito and find a way to take back his left eye from Kakashi.
Black Zetsu's brain began to operate at full speed. Let's analyze the situation! Although only Minato Namikaze was present, with his own strength... he was not a match for Minato and would also expose his existence.
Ninjas fight battles of intelligence.
Once information is exposed, no matter how strong the ninja, they cannot withstand careful planning.
Unable to win by force, then what about strategy?
Possess Obito... Wood Release... immediately retrieve the left eye... Impure World Reincarnation...
Various complex ideas were forming in Black Zetsu's mind.
Despairingly, Black Zetsu realized that no matter what, he couldn't rescue Obito in such a situation.
'If only Nagato were here.'
Indeed, Black Zetsu's sneak attack skills were unparalleled in the ninja world. But his own combat strength... had always been a mystery.
The most convenient way to save Obito was to ambush Kakashi, take back Obito's left eye, then after Obito's Izanagi took effect and resurrected him, put the eye back in.
But now, Konoha's ninjas had all mobilized. To take the enemy general's left eye among hundreds of troops was somewhat of a fantasy.
In the end, Black Zetsu's body sank back into the ground.
"I can only hope that Konoha's ninjas won't dispose of Obito's body so quickly, and that Obito's ocular power can support Izanagi to what extent..."
"Or perhaps, use Impure World Reincarnation."
"Should I secretly contact Konoha's Orochimaru?"
