Chapter 79: You Think You’re The Only One With A Mangekyo?【third Update, Subscribe】
On the battlefield outside Hoshigakure, the situation changed in an instant.
When Obito saw the imposing half-body dark red Susanoo, as well as the Mangekyo Sharingan blooming in the girl’s two eyes, the hairs all over his body stood on end.
Not only were there two Uchihas opposite him, but one of them had the Mangekyo Sharingan!
Why! Why would it be like this?!
It was already outrageous to have a Uchiha bloodline wandering outside, and one was three-tomoe and the other Mangekyo!
Just how incompetent was Konoha’s Uchiha Clan? To let two such strong Uchiha clansmen wander outside!
And one of them had the Mangekyo!
Such a young Mangekyo!
“Hey hey! That thing is way too exaggerated!” White Zetsu let out a cry of alarm from one side of his body, while Black Zetsu fell even deeper into silence.
Damn it, when did the Uchiha become like this?!
Obito quickly made a judgment: he could not continue fighting the opponent.
The opponent not only had a mysterious and unfathomable ‘Shura’, but also an Uchiha with Mangekyo Sharingan in both eyes. Continuing to fight like this, he with only one Mangekyo Sharingan would suffer a big loss.
Just like now, the opponent could already unleash Susanoo, while he himself could not use this third power because he was missing one Mangekyo Sharingan!
Withdraw!
This was Obito’s only thought at the moment.
“Kamui!”
Obito immediately activated his dojutsu, trying to phase into the Kamui dimension.
However, after his Kamui fully absorbed his body, he horrifiedly discovered that he was still on the battlefield outside Hoshigakure.
Unbeknownst to him, Zetsu, who had been annoyingly chattering like a mosquito earlier, was already gone.
“What?!” Obito suddenly realized!
He had unknowingly fallen victim to the opponent’s dojutsu.
He saw the black-haired girl opposite him with her Mangekyo Sharingan blooming, her entire body enveloped by the Susanoo giant, and under the starry sky behind her, a huge red moon emerged!
The girl’s Mangekyo pattern appeared within the red moon!
“When!”
As an Uchiha, to fall for an illusion technique—it was truly laughable.
‘Looks like this is the opponent’s Mangekyo dojutsu; ordinary methods won’t break it.’ Obito released his eye power, trying to break the illusion with stronger eye power.
Boom!
At this moment, the dark red Susanoo opposite him had walked over, its skeletal frame beginning to condense chakra flesh and blood, a pair of wings unfolding, the resulting airflow blowing Obito’s robes into a flapping sound.
The dark red Susanoo drew its chakra greatsword and slashed fiercely down at Obito!
Obito instinctively wanted to phase to evade, but discovered his body was completely out of control!
One slash down!
Two slashes down!
Three slashes down!
Each time the chakra greatsword slashed at his body, it felt like being split into two segments, with all his bones shattering—this kind of heart-wrenching pain, Obito experienced it again and again!
He despaired in horror to discover that his eye power could not break this illusionary space at all!
This meant the opponent’s eye power was far above his own!
He didn’t know how much time had passed.
Obito trembled all over as he emerged from the Tsukuyomi space. Panting, he looked down and saw that his foot had been pierced by a tree branch at some point, fresh red blood spilling onto the scorched earth.
White Zetsu was transmitting chakra to him, using external interference to help him break free from the illusion.
“Hmm?” Uchiha Hikari also noticed Obito who had broken free from the illusion, but what she cared more about was the wood that suddenly sprouted from under Obito’s foot, piercing through his sole.
‘Is this Wood Release?’ Uchiha Hikari looked at that thing resembling a pitcher plant.
After breaking free from the illusion, Obito didn’t hesitate at all and immediately activated Kamui, sucking his body into the Kamui dimension.
As soon as Zetsu saw Obito’s attacks stop, he knew this kid had likely fallen for an illusion technique. He immediately used Wood Release to pierce through Obito’s sole from underground, inputting chakra to break the illusion for him.
Now seeing Obito safely enter the Kamui dimension, Zetsu also escaped using the Ephemeral Technique.
On the scorched black ground, only a small patch of blood and a messy battlefield remained.
“That guy…” Uchiha Hikari dispelled her Susanoo and analyzed the phasing ability of the tiger masked man from earlier.
“His dojutsu should also be Mangekyo Sharingan, but he didn’t use Susanoo, which means… he might be missing one eye.” Uchiha Hikari thought of Shisui Uchiha, who had fought her yesterday.
Also Mangekyo Sharingan, that kid named Shisui could already use the second stage of Susanoo.
But that guy who called himself ‘Uchiha Madara’ earlier didn’t even use Susanoo after seeing her unleash it.
He even needed someone else’s help to break free from her illusion Tsukuyomi, showing how severely lacking his eye power was.
“Just let those two escape like this?” Uchiha Hikari turned back to look at Menma, who was sitting at the gate of Hoshigakure watching the show.
She knew Menma had a sensing ninjutsu that could track enemies, but Menma hadn’t pursued.
“That guy has another dimension; once he escapes into it, he can’t be caught.” A light, floating voice came from under the white three-eyed fox mask: “And there’s a pitcher plant; its Ephemeral Technique escape is very fast.”
Black Zetsu had lurked for a millennium to find this one opportunity; he couldn’t force him into desperation.
Moreover, Obito with only one Mangekyo Sharingan posed no threat. Menma didn’t want to let Obito die so easily—that would be too cheap for him, this was his parents’ killer.
He could go back to Konoha later, dig up graves, see if he could excavate Rin Nohara’s bones, and find a way to extract cells to revive her.
If he cloned Rin Nohara’s body, then used these flesh and blood tissues for Reanimation Jutsu, he wondered if it would work.
For now, let them continue fooling Nagato, continue that so-called ‘Eye of the Moon’ plan, and buy him some development time.
Perhaps after this clash, Nagato and Obito would accelerate Akatsuki’s recruitment efforts.
Once Nagato killed Hanzo of the Salamander, the main storyline would begin, and Menma could roughly reveal Akatsuki’s intelligence to Konohagakure, especially to Jiraiya.
Let them go deal with Akatsuki’s troubles.
He just didn’t know if after this, Obito would go find Kakashi and retrieve the other Mangekyo Sharingan.

Inside the Kamui dimension.
As soon as Obito appeared, he collapsed onto the ground, devoid of his earlier mysterious strong practitioner image.
Panting, he removed the tiger mask, his right eye faintly aching from overusing the dojutsu, still shaken by the earlier battle.
“Why… is there such a pair of Mangekyo wandering outside…” Obito recalled his exchange with Uchiha Madara, recalled sneaking into the Naka River Shrine to check the Uchiha Clan’s history.
He had never heard of any Uchiha clansmen wandering outside!
Although there were indeed Uchiha clansmen who married out, as soon as it was discovered that a married-out Uchiha had awakened Sharingan, or their child had awakened Sharingan, they would be brought back to the clan territory.
But now, not only had a three-tomoe Sharingan appeared, but also a girl who looked about his age yet possessed Mangekyo!
Without one Mangekyo Sharingan, he simply couldn’t be the opponent’s match!
“Damn it! Could it be… they are like me too? Uchihas who faked death in the war?” Obito felt this matter was no small thing; it might very well disrupt the progress of the ‘Eye of the Moon’ plan.
He had to investigate clearly what kind of people the opponents were! What their goals were!
Obito gritted his teeth, thinking of the eye he had given to Kakashi…
