Chapter 80: Uchiha Ikeizumi! My Capacity Surpasses Yours!
In the instant their gazes clashed, an invisible spatial ripple appeared in Obito’s right hand, and a ninja sword slowly emerged from it.
——Uchiha Ikeizumi must die!!!
This killing intent-filled thought had already occupied Obito’s mind.
Once the “Kamui Phasing” information leaked out, Obito didn’t even dare to imagine how many people in the ninja world would prepare a series of plans targeting his abilities based on that information in the future!
And the information that “Uchiha Madara is actually Uchiha Obito”… absolutely could not be leaked either. Especially not to Nagato and Konan in the Akatsuki!
Otherwise…
All his efforts over these years would at least go down the drain by a large half.
The killing intent in his eyes also concealed a trace of disbelief.
Because Obito simply couldn’t figure out how Uchiha Ikeizumi had learned this information that no one else could know.
When the killing intent in his heart reached its peak.
Obito moved!
Whoosh—in that instant, he had already closed in within arm’s reach of Uchiha Ikeizumi, formed hand seals with one hand to split off two clones, and three “Uchiha Obitos” from three different tricky angles held ninja swords stabbing toward Uchiha Ikeizumi’s vital points.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
When all three blades fully pierced Uchiha Ikeizumi’s body, that sensation unlike stabbing into human flesh immediately made Obito realize that the information from the White Zetsu Clone’s mouth—”Uchiha Ikeizumi also possesses Lava Release ninjutsu suspected to be the Hozuki Clan’s Water Transformation Technique”—was true.
Sure enough.
Obito watched wide-eyed as the ninja sword in his hand was directly melted, and the terrifying high temperature of the lava made his eyelid twitch.
And at that moment.
Obito’s super dynamic vision from that Mangekyo Sharingan eye also saw Uchiha Ikeizumi move!
He saw Uchiha Ikeizumi’s left arm fully lava-ized, an extremely pungent smell permeating the air.
But his lava-ized arm didn’t blast toward Obito’s head.
Instead, it deliberately reached toward the hand holding the ninja sword!
Obito was stunned.
His expression changed abruptly!
Uchiha Ikeizumi knew the weakness of Kamui Phasing!!!
As this thought flashed through his mind, Obito quickly retreated backward frantically, but when intense burning pain came from his hand, he realized it was already a step too late.
Obito’s eyelid trembled slightly as he looked down, and saw that his hand was missing a third! Two fingers were gone too!
“…How do you know!?” An incredulous tone under the pain slipped from Obito’s mouth.
In his shock, he no longer pretended to be Uchiha Madara.
Obito felt that the shocks he’d experienced in recent years probably weren’t as many as the ones he’d gone through in this one night.
The look he gave Uchiha Ikeizumi was like looking at a monster.
Intense unease made cold sweat pour from Obito.
He hadn’t been this unsettled in years.
But unexpectedly, Uchiha Ikeizumi ignored him entirely, rapidly closing in, his lava-ized arm like a curved blade slashing diagonally toward Obito’s sword-holding right hand!
But the lava seemed to slash through air, splashing lava scattering onto the path in the Konoha Public Cemetery.
The ground was instantly set ablaze by the lava.
“Kamui Phasing, what a cheating ability.” When Uchiha Ikeizumi said this, Obito’s face darkened; he almost cursed out loud.
No matter how cheating Kamui was, was it as cheating as you, Uchiha Ikeizumi?
A lava body immune to physical attacks…
What’s the difference from Kamui!
“You can’t take him down.” Suddenly, a familiar low voice came from behind Obito. A black-and-white head had emerged from the ground behind Obito at some point.
The black-and-white head said: “Your ‘old friend’ Kakashi is heading this way. Don’t tangle with this guy anymore. He can’t do anything to your ability for now, but you can’t do anything to him either. Continuing to tangle will only draw more Konoha ninjas. Being this high-profile now is not good for our plan.”
Obito gritted his teeth, face dark: “He knows my information!”
“Can you kill him in three minutes?” A simple counter-question plunged Obito into silence.
He took a deep breath and gave Uchiha Ikeizumi a deep look.
Earth Release: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique!!!
Obito’s body slowly sank downward, and when only his upper body was still exposed, he suddenly asked Uchiha Ikeizumi coldly: “Uchiha Ikeizumi, why did you want to kill me back then?”
Uchiha Ikeizumi said expressionlessly: “Your ‘Future Evil’ is visible nowhere to hide in my eyes. Killing Future Evil in the cradle ahead of time was my idea back then.”
“Uchiha Obito, you should be grateful the Fourth saved your life. Unfortunately, a selfish and self-serving beast like you wouldn’t have any gratitude for the lifesaving grace.”
“You, rotting and pus-filled with stench, would only turn your selfish, arrogant-to-the-extreme cleaver toward your lifesaver, the Fourth Hokage.”
——He even knew the inside story of the Night of the Nine-Tails!!!
——And he called me a beast!!!
When his body sank until only his head was left exposed, Obito’s face turned iron-blue.
Obito sneered: “Uchiha Ikeizumi, though I don’t know why you know so much information. But one thing I can be sure of is… you don’t understand my ambitions at all.
“You can’t see the essence of the ninja world; you and I aren’t on the same level. My capacity is above yours!”
“But… one day, you’ll know. But by then, you’ll be powerless to protect your justice.”
When his words fully fell, Obito was gone.
He thought the words he’d left behind could salvage some face.
So he wouldn’t look like such a clown in Uchiha Ikeizumi’s eyes.
“Meow, that guy’s dojutsu is way too cheating, right?”
Kijiro muttered speechlessly: “Why do all these lunatics keep spouting ‘capacity’? With his tiny pattern, he dares compare to Lord Ikeizumi? So full of himself.”
Uchiha Ikeizumi said without a ripple in his expression: “Just an excuse for evil from a madman’s lapdog.”
……
“Hm?!”
Kakashi, arriving at the Konoha Public Cemetery, suddenly keenly smelled a faint sulfur scent in the air.
His mind shook instantly.
Because the same smell permeated outside the Yamanaka Clan Headquarters.
That meant Uchiha Ikeizumi was indeed here, and he’d used Lava Release in the Konoha Public Cemetery! Had Uchiha Ikeizumi caught another evildoer?
The efficiency was too high!
Though…
Thinking about it carefully, if Uchiha Ikeizumi’s eyes could truly see through a person’s past and Future Evil, which evildoer in the entire ninja world could escape his gaze?
“Though…”
Kakashi suddenly hesitated. He’d participated in the Ninja Wars before and killed enemy village ninjas.
With blood on his hands, was he an evil person guilty of many crimes in Uchiha Ikeizumi’s eyes?
In his pause and hesitation, Kakashi saw a figure ahead.
Ah… he’d already run into him.
Too late to turn back now.
