Chapter 345

He's a genius!

Thinking of the scene when he was defeated by Uchiha Madara, he trembled all over.

"Oh! Obito, you're still alive?"

Kisame grinned at Uchiha Madara, greeting him—after all, they had once been comrades.

And they had deeply trusted each other!

"Hmm…"

Obito nodded at Kisame, then turned his gaze to Tobi.

Though he had no Sharingan, that didn't mean he had no eyes.

He had transplanted a pair of ordinary eyes onto himself.

"Even without the Sharingan, I can still defeat you."

Uchiha Obito said with great authority, then swiftly formed hand seals.

Tobi stared in shock—he hadn't expected Obito to form seals so fast without the Sharingan.

But so what?

He was Uchiha Tobi!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Water Release: Water Wall!"

Roaring flames burst directly from Uchiha Obito's mouth.

Tobi formed a wall of water before himself, then launched a genjutsu at Uchiha Obito through the water.

Yet, the instant he prepared to activate the genjutsu, Uchiha Obito closed his eyes—as if he had anticipated it.

And Uchiha Obito drew a kunai and charged forward!

"This guy!"

Tobi instantly phased his body, letting Uchiha Obito pass through him.

If he had reacted even a fraction slower, he might have been struck, right?

What a dangerous man—he can threaten me even without the Sharingan!

Meanwhile, in the Kamui dimension

"Phew, I've finally recovered enough—but how do I get out?"

Tobi had retrieved his eye; without Kamui, I can't escape at all."

At this moment, Kakashi's wounds had all been bandaged, and his left eye was wrapped in gauze.

Suddenly, space beside him opened briefly—just for an instant.

In that instant, Kakashi immediately realized.

Tobi must be fighting someone; if I time it right and rush out the moment he uses Kamui, I can escape, right?

Though he didn't know why Tobi had merely wounded him instead of killing him.

Probably, he intended to torment me periodically, right?

Thinking of this, Kakashi's expression darkened.

Tobi… why did he become like this?

"I've seen through your technique. Prepare to use Izanagi."

Uchiha Obito said with absolute confidence, just as he claimed.

Even without the Sharingan, he could still eliminate Uchiha Tobi!

In truth, if he wished, he could have a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan at any moment.

But he would never do so—it would mean stealing a clan member's eye.

"You really are a genius—but if I pull this move, how will you respond?"

Tobi leaped backward and spoke, then dropped straight down toward the ground.

While others were still bewildered, Uchiha Obito had already guessed what the opponent intended.

Sure enough, the next second, a pale blue giant appeared!

This was Susano'o!

"Retreat!"

Konan spoke without hesitation—not because she was afraid.

But this was their village (Takumi's), and if a battle broke out here,

The villagers would suffer.

That was something she refused to see.

The Akatsuki members paused, then chose to respect Konan.

After all, Konan was one of the Akatsuki's oldest members.

Uchiha Obito considered it, then followed them out.

He had two purposes for coming here: first, to obtain a pair of unused Sharingan.

Yes, deep within a hidden passage in the Akatsuki base were many Sharingan!

This was information he had gathered after infiltrating the Akatsuki for so long.

Probably, all those Sharingan had been collected by Tobi?

Longmen and the others likely didn't know about this!

And the second matter was…
