Obito Uchiha bound Rin Nohara with iron chains and reappeared beside her.
At that very moment, Shimura Danzo's attack completely missed its target! His hand passed through Obito's body—but in an instant, Obito vanished without a trace.
"How are you unharmed?" Danzo feigned shock.
Unharmed? How could he be? He'd just wasted a Sharingan!
"Danzo," Obito's voice turned cold and emotionless, "you're the only one who forced me to use Izanagi—and now you can peacefully rest in death." The very fact that Danzo had brought Rin back via Edo Tensei was unforgivable, and manipulating her to attack him made his crimes even worse.
Dragging the chains, Obito advanced fiercely toward Danzo, intent on capturing and torturing him.
"Wind Release: Rotating Shuriken!" Danzo threw a wind-infused shuriken at Obito.
"That won't work, Danzo!" Obito sneered. Without Rin's help inside Kamui dimension, Danzo stood no chance against someone armed with the Kamui Mangekyō.
As the wind shuriken flew in, Obito instantly phased to avoid it—and his hand shot out to grab Danzo.
But Danzo vanished in a blink of an eye—and reappeared at the location of that shuriken, wielding a Rasengan!
"Flying Thunder God Technique?" Obito's pupils constricted as memories of the Nine-Tails Incident and meeting Minato Namikaze came flooding back. "Rasengan!"
Boom.
The scene replayed itself—the same jutsu, same explosive force!
Obito was obliterated by that Rasengan blast!
This time, with no White Zetsu to absorb damage, and missing his Izanagi–equipped left eye, Obito was torn apart in half.
Thanks to the Hashirama cells within him, his life flickered on—even as half his body lay in ruins.
"You…" Obito coughed up blood, his body collapsing in the crash.
Danzo stepped forward with quiet certainty.
"You—can't kill me!" With his final breath, Obito activated Kamui and escaped!
"Danzo… tonight's debt will be settled—eventually!"
"Just wait for me!"
"I swear—if I live this life without killing you, I'll never be human!"
With a swirl of space-time chakra, Obito disappeared.
When Obito reappeared, a chilling voice rang beside him:
"Going somewhere?"
An instant later, a seal shimmered into life—and Danzo reappeared at Obito's side. He reached out… and everything went dark.
"Aaagh!" A guttural scream echoed through Konoha.
Obito Uchiha collapsed, his right eye gouged out, blood storming the ground around him.
His prized Kamui Mangekyō was gone.
He would never use Kamui again.
"So this… is a space-time Mangekyō?" Danzo sneered. "This is the eye that lets you waltz into Konoha at will! The very eye that sparked the Nine-Tails Incident! The eye responsible for killing Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, Kushina!"
"Tonight, Shimura Danzo will capture you, this sneaky, cowardly rat! With proof that you killed Minato and Kushina, I'll be Konoha's hero—and ascend to power! Ha ha ha!" Danzo laughed maniacally.
"You know what I thought when I watched you and Minato face off that night?"
"I was grateful—you killed Minato and Kushina for me. But I was terrified too … terrified you'd return."
"For seven whole years I lived in paranoia, fearing your clan would unseal the Nine-Tails and devastate Konoha!"
"I believed only space-time jutsu could defeat space-time jutsu. So I spent day and night mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan!"
"I just hoped to use those jutsu to stop you if you ever came back!"
"Today… my wish came true!"
"Thanks to you—I have your Mangekyō as proof! At last I have evidence to strike at your clan!"
"Tonight, you die—and from now on, your Uchiha clan dies with you!"
"Let's see… who exactly you really are!" Danzo reached out to tear Obito's mask from his face.
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!" Obito roared in desperation.
"Damn you! You have Wood Release too!" Danzo shrieked. His form vanished.
Massive, thorn-covered wooden trees erupted around him in Kamui dimension, swallowing the ground—and engulfing Danzo's position.
Had Danzo been a moment slower, he would have been utterly annihilated!
Moments later, numerous White Zetsu crawled from the ground and dragged severely injured Obito into a makeshift shelter.
With White Zetsu tending to his wounds, and blinded in one eye, Obito's face twisted with rage and hatred.
"Danzo, I will kill you. I swear it!"
"Rin, hold on—I will save your soul!"
Old grudges and new—they collided. Obito Uchiha now burned with hatred for Danzo Shimura.
Elsewhere, Uchiha Itachi was nearly asleep when a loud thud startled him—someone stumbled into his room.
"Danzo?" Itachi's eyes narrowed wide.
"Danzo, my ass, it's me!" The Danzo-transformed clone dispelled with a thump, sending Itachi stumbling onto the bed.
Overwhelmed, chakra-burned, and exhausted—Itachi's face drained of color.
Ten minutes passed before he recovered consciousness.
Clearly—not everyone is as superhuman as Naruto.
He thought to himself: he'd better find a tailed beast to recharge—right now his current chakra reserves were clearly insufficient. He needed tons of chakra!
Then memories flooded back as he stared at the eye in his hand.
Memories flowed back. Looking at the eyeball in his hand, Itachi was stunned! "Holy hell! Making Rin groin-kick Obito?! That's killing the heart, not just the body!"
He couldn't believe his clone entity was so incredible! Not only did it make Rin deliver a fatal blow to Obito's groin, but it also forced Obito to use Izanagi and even stole his Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan!
Obito must be feeling so utterly humiliated he wanted to die right now! And the crucial part was, poor Danzo had another undeserved blame piled upon him. Itachi couldn't help but offer Danzo a moment of silent pity.
[Ping] Congratulations, host: you've gained Kamui Mangekyō Sharingan (right eye). Award unlocked: Space–Time Power
[Space-Time Power: Allows the user to seal enemies with space, create spatial gates, perform spatial jumps, spatial transfers, and intangible phasing.]
[Mundo goes where he pleases! Come and hit me if you dare! If you can hit me, I'll let you 'hehehe'!]
"Holy hell, I hit the jackpot!" Itachi swallowed, his face alight with surprise. Good gracious, with this ability, the entire world was his for the taking! This was even more powerful than Obito's Kamui Mangekyo. Truly worthy of System-daddy!
Love you, system!
Now, I just want to ask, who else? Who else?! Puffs out chest, hands on hips, .jpg
"But… why didn't you just kill Obito? Releasing him into the wild—what if he messes up?" Itachi ponders aloud, bewildered by Danzo-clone's twisted game.
Is all this necessary?
Poor Danzo—he's carrying the weight of this mess!
