Chapter 112: Who am I!! (Ten-Thousand-Word Chapter)

Who are you!!?

Looking at the hysterical Obito before him and hearing this guy's roar-like question, Yuzhi also felt a bit dazed for a moment.

How terrible his luck must be to run into two groups of Akatsuki Organization members in a single day!

Konan and Sasori were fine there; as for the Akatsuki Organization's movements, Yuzhi actually still paid some attention.

Even doing something for them, like guiding them to obtain 'Self Reincarnation' while tripping up Obito and his gang, Yuzhi was quite willing.

Just like now, Yuzhi had the two of them work as laborers for him, and they still had to say 'thank you' to him.

But Yuzhi never expected to actually encounter a 'Li Kui and Li Gui' situation.

Silently staring at Obito before him, Yuzhi's brain began to spin rapidly.

He didn't know how Obito had gotten to this place; could this kid be eyeing the dragon vein chakra?

Obito definitely didn't come with Konan; otherwise, when I previously dealt with Sasori, he should have shown up.

I'm asking you one more time: who exactly are you!

Shut up!

Go die!

Upon hearing these words, Obito completely lost it, glaring furiously at Yuzhi and shouting.

He mimicked Obito's tone at this moment, and at the same time casually pulled out that black rod, leisurely watching Obito.

【1、Reveal identity, assist Obito in obtaining dragon vein chakra】

Moreover, he probably wasn't here for the One-Tail; otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Loulan. Judging by this, this guy is really targeting the dragon vein.

Just as Yuzhi remained silent, he suddenly noticed his system interface refresh.

"Forget it, although I'm curious about who is impersonating me, this does embarrass me a bit."

He hadn't ruled out being under an illusion; in fact, he hoped it was an illusion, but no matter how he channeled his chakra, there was no response.

Yuzhi's words were like steel spikes desperately stabbing into Obito's heart, making him nearly laugh from anger.

Whoosh—

Obito's head was buzzing; he really didn't understand what was going on.

Seeing this, Obito quickly entered Kamui Space, and at the instant the black rod swept past, his iron chain followed as well!

Obito quickly climbed to his feet, his gaze fearful as he looked at this impostor.

"You're really a lunatic; although I admit you're doing a decent job impersonating me, haven't you figured out my abilities yet?"

【Unknown Task Reward】

His earlier attack, he had waited for that impostor to act before proceeding; how did this guy react so quickly?

Moreover, it's absurd: his iron chain had clearly pierced through his body, so why was his attack still solid?

"Can a solid attack be synchronized with Kamui?"

In his mind he recalled the previous year when he went to find Uchiha Ying; that woman had said those words to him, then proceeded to beat him up.

Now hearing those words again, how could he still endure?

Could it be that woman again?

He simply watched calmly as the iron chain passed through his body, then sneered.

"And where did you, this lunatic, come from?"

Seeing Yuzhi's silence, Obito roared again, his aura at this moment already fully condensed to its peak.

After a while, Yuzhi suddenly let out a light chuckle.

And where did you, this lunatic, come from

Upon hearing those words, Obito instantly couldn't hold back!

Boom—

"I'm impersonating you?"

Looking at the task bar in his vision, Yuzhi curled the corner of his mouth, and his gaze toward Obito also shifted slightly.

He knew his abilities had been figured out, and he needed to make some changes to better deal with these enemies.

His figure turned into a blur, rushing toward Yuzhi at extreme speed; the iron chain danced in the air, making a 'clatter-clatter' sound.

He had just seized the opportunity extremely well, after all, being beaten up in turns by Yuzhi, Hikari, Minato Namikaze, and even Kakashi.

"How... how is that possible?"

Your ability

Obito was still gritting his teeth watching his attack miss; this scene was exactly like when others attacked him.

Almost instinctively, Obito glanced at his own hands again, and then suddenly flew into a rage out of shame.

But Yuzhi didn't give Obito any chance to speak; the black rod in his hand had already swept out.

【2、Impersonate identity, and obtain dragon vein chakra for himself】

This likely indicates one thing: I've encountered a real person, but the question is who this guy is.

"You're asking me who I am?"

Yuzhi lightly swayed the black rod in his hand, his gaze narrowing as he spoke coldly.

"Eh"

However, strangely, the next moment he felt a sudden pang in his chest, and then his whole body was flung backward, slamming hard into the wall!

"Better to just finish you off quickly, so you don't embarrass me."

【Obtained New Side Quest】

Looking at the iron chain lunging at him, Yuzhi didn't even have the urge to move.

But when he saw that impostor come over again, he immediately got up, flung the iron chain toward him, and then lunged his whole body forward as well.

The iron chain instantly pierced through Yuzhi's body, but the iron rod in his hand also came whistling.

Boom—

This time, both sides missed, but the difference was that Obito's iron chain swung onto the ground without causing any ripple.

But Yuzhi's black rod struck the wall behind Obito, instantly smashing a huge hole in the entire wall!

"Really?"

Obito glanced at the wall behind him, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, but soon he felt his chest hurt even more.

Why can this impostor get this far, while I—

"Tsk tsk, are you starting to act like a rat in the sewer?"

Yuzhi saw Obito a bit dazed; his black rod swept past again, but he found the guy had no reaction, and he couldn't help but speak mockingly.

"Then, how long can you hide?"

Suddenly, Yuzhi's figure flashed, and he pulled away a considerable distance.

And at the moment he pulled away, his hands had already completed the hand seals.

"Fire Release: Exploding Wind Dance!"

The violent fire dragon bearing a vortex posture instantly swept over Obito, and at that moment this dim tower was illuminated brightly.

And Obito's face looked even worse—Divine Authority combined with Fire Release; isn't this the power he's been researching all along?

I haven't even mastered it yet, so how could this impostor pull this off?

"Why is this happening?"

Obito gradually began to break down, his brain somewhat crashing, but for some reason a strange idea suddenly popped into his mind.

This person, could it be me?

But as soon as this absurd idea arose, he immediately shook his head to dispel it—how could there possibly be another him in this world?

This is nothing but a shoddy impostor with roughly the same abilities as him!

"I am the only one!"

Obito silently chanted in his heart, his figure suddenly became distorted, and just a moment later he escaped the sea of fire.

However, when he saw the impostor leisurely examining the seal of the dragon vein, as if he didn't even regard him at all.

His face beneath the mask was already flushed with shame—being ignored was the ultimate humiliation!

"You haven't left yet?"

Yuzhi seemed to sense something, he turned his head to look at Obito, although he deliberately showed a surprised expression.

"I thought you, this little rat, had already run off—after all, you lack the courage to face me head-on, so what are you still doing here?"

"I said I would pull off your impostor's mask!"

Obito let out a hysterical shout, his chakra began to continuously gather.

"Like this?"

Seeing this, Yuzhi looked at Obito before him and gave a slight nod.

Then he spoke in an extremely flat tone, as if casually chatting with someone, and also as if offhandedly saying a sentence.

"Then come up and claim your death."

——

"Black one, do you think there could be two identical people in this world?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Underground in the Land of Wind, Black Zetsu hid underground, and his White Zetsu half-body suddenly asked a strange question.

After Obito set off, the two of them simply followed along.

After all, no one knows how Obito will turn out, and besides, dragon vein chakra is so dangerous that not following Black Zetsu would also be unsettling.

But White Zetsu suddenly raising this question also left Black Zetsu somewhat bewildered.

How could a world possibly produce two identical people?

No matter how similar they look, they are not the same person; even if you haven't seen it, even the Mangekyou Sharingan in an era does not have completely identical abilities.

"Like that?"

The White Zetsu half-body nodded, then looked at Black Zetsu with doubt.

"Then, I and my other kin are basically the same, right?"

"."

Black Zetsu really didn't want to bother with this idiot, so he directly asked.

"What exactly do you want to say? Just tell me directly—could it be that Obito's side has some problem?"

"Hmm, indeed there are some problems."

The White Zetsu half-body nodded, and he continued to speak in his signature hoarse voice.

"He seems to have encountered someone exactly like him."

"What do you mean?"

"That person dresses exactly like Obito, also possesses Obito's eye technique, and his body is filled with my and my kin's power, but he seems stronger than Obito."

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu was stunned, his brain not reacting for a moment.

But just then, he suddenly felt a violent surge of chakra, and immediately he saw in the distance that soaring chakra light pillar.

In an instant, his face drastically changed.

"You mean, Obito encountered someone exactly like himself?"

"Hmm, at least they look exactly alike, but the difference is huge."

"How so?"

That person looks. Much stronger than Obito.

White Zetsu isn't smart either; at a loss for words, he thought for a long time before coming up with such a description.

Black Zetsu could hardly hold back; he immediately took White Zetsu and headed toward Loulan.

He was anxious, because he suddenly had a guess.

Could it be.

He shook his head, and Black Zetsu increased his speed a little; the moment he leapt into the Seal Tower.

He stared in shock as an Obito holding a black staff fiercely swung at another Obito's arm.

Ah!

The black staff tore through the sky, and a tragic cry suddenly rang out.

Afterward, he blankly watched as an Obito's arm instantly broke, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground.

Outside the Sand Village, the raging wind still blew.

Sasori and Konan were standing together, both waiting for something.

That guy, who is he?

Suddenly, the ever-silent Sasori spoke, his eyes full of curiosity.

If I'm not mistaken, that's a Uchiha, but would a Uchiha join this organization?

And with such strength, he definitely shouldn't be a nobody.

Who is he? You'll find out later.

Konan heard Sasori's words, she herself hesitated a moment, then after a while answered.

Actually, her hesitation wasn't because it's hard to say Madara Uchiha's identity, but because she doubts this Madara Uchiha's identity.

A person's demeanor is quite mysterious; previously Obito gave her a bad feeling, except he guided Nagato to this point.

Also important is that she could sense Obito's hidden madness and arrogance.

She hadn't heard the great name of Madara Uchiha, although that guy was called the Shinobi World Asura, having killed countless people.

But he is also a peer of the First Hokage; no matter how you look at it, he shouldn't be like this now.

Whether it's her or Nagato, they never really believed Obito's so-called Madara Uchiha identity.

However, today's situation is different; it can even be described as terrifying!

The guy they face today looks exactly like that person before, both in appearance and ability.

But that demeanor—confident, without a trace of madness—is completely unlike that previous guy.

Moreover, this person today doesn't hide; when it's time to act, he acts openly.

And such strength, such skill truly leaves one in awe!

This person claims to be Madara Uchiha; Konan probably wouldn't doubt it much.

Could it be that the so-called Madara Uchiha actually consists of two people—one impostor we've been in contact with, and one genuine one?

Suddenly, a terrifying idea popped into Konan's mind.

Moreover, once this idea appeared, she found she had basically accepted it completely.

Especially since that guy openly and confidently spoke of the resurrection technique, and also gave Sasori some guidance.

That aura of a superior, that manner of a senior guiding a junior—this is what Madara Uchiha should be like!

If this is true, the situation would be not good, even somewhat difficult to handle.

Konan secretly thought, but she had already sent this information back to the Rain Country during the period when Madara Uchiha was absent.

Such matters, she must be extremely careful.

How mysterious?

Sasori gave Konan a strange look, pondered for a moment, then asked teasingly.

Could it be that he is actually the legendary Madara Uchiha?

Konan's pupils dilated instantly upon hearing that, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and calmed down.

Indeed, that guy's demeanor cannot be concealed.

She suddenly had a guess: maybe the real Madara Uchiha found a lunatic to pose as him.

Actually, it's because concealing his identity would easily be noticed, so he had no choice but to resort to this.

Don't guess, I won't say.

After Konan remained silent for a moment, she then shook her head and gave Sasori a meaningful look.

If you get the chance, you should still ask him, provided you can still meet him.

What do you mean by that? Isn't he a member of your organization?

Sasori frowned; this person who gave him guidance, he naturally wanted to learn more.

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly froze, then turned his head toward the south.

Not only him, but Konan beside him was the same!

At this moment, they clearly felt a massive, breath‑blocking surge of chakra constantly building up.

They seemed to somewhat understand what Yuzhi had them waiting for——

Leaf Village, the Fourth Generation's home.

While Minato was playing with Naruto, he suddenly stiffened, and his gaze went straight toward the west of the Sand Village.

What's wrong, Minato?

Beside him, Kushina was also startled by Minato's action, she gave him a strange look.

But when she noticed Minato's expression was so grave, she immediately realized something was wrong.

I feel my Flying Thunder God seems to have been activated, the location is

Minato hesitated for a moment, then spoke solemnly.

That place is Loulan; you should still remember I once told you about a mission.

That mission, I, Zhiwei, Dingzuo, and even Kakashi had our memories sealed.

Although I don't remember what happened, I can affirm that the power of the dragon vein is unimaginable, and now.

Is anyone going to make a move on the dragon vein?

Kushina also realized the seriousness of the matter, she frowned and asked.

It's quite possible, so I'll go check it out.

Minato immediately stood up, quickly took out his clothes and put them on.

Even though he doesn't remember much, there are some things he must pay special attention to.

So serious?

Kushina frowned, but she eventually nodded.

I understand, by the way, should I let Yuzhi know so he can go with you? That would be better.

After all, he also possesses Flying Thunder God, and his strength.

No need, we won't bother Yuzhi with this.

Minato thought seriously, then shook his head, he sincerely said.

We can't be too selfish; he has contributed so much to the Leaf Village, and now no one knows how his eyes are.

Although Lady Tsunade has returned to the village and begun research, some things won't yield results quickly.

This operation is not the Leaf Village's affair, so we'd better not disturb him.

Hearing these words, Kushina sighed softly, but also nodded seriously.

Indeed, they can't be too selfish; Yuzhi and the others have already contributed so much to the Leaf Village.

Some things we should handle ourselves; we can't always go to Yuzhi and the others for everything—

Tch, he really runs fast.

Watching Obito disappear again, Yuzhi couldn't help but let out a light snort.

Obito running fast is only natural; this is the foundation of his standing in the ninja world.

But I barely managed to pose as a villain, leaving only one arm— isn't that a bit inappropriate?

However, looking at the arm Obito left on the ground, Yuzhi tilted his head and couldn't help but complain inwardly.

This Obito, maybe he should just become a one-armed hero from now on.

So as not to have an arm cut off every time we meet.

However, we can be sure he really left.

The Sharingan turned slightly; Yuzhi picked up the arm and carefully scanned the surroundings, he could basically confirm Obito wasn't left here.

The spatial fluctuations of Kamui, after Yuzhi absorbed his talent, could basically be clearly sensed.

This means that as long as Obito this kid gets close, he can instantly detect it— this is practically a radar!

Moreover, for this operation, although the prepared tools are okay, we still need to improve them further.

When Yuzhi takes action, he will naturally make full preparations, and the Sharingan is naturally a key part of his equipment!

In the world of Naruto, there actually are colored contacts; in the original, Kakashi relied on colored contacts to block the Sharingan, teasing Naruto, Sasuke, and the others.

This time, Yuzhi has prepared quite a few colored contacts, naturally to conceal his Mangekyou Sharingan pattern.

Whether it works or not, he himself can't say for sure, because upon close inspection one can still sense something off.

However, for now, his situation isn't too bad; at least Obito seems not to have noticed anything.

But Yuzhi must still guard against it— better safe than sorry.

Let's go back and study it thoroughly.

Yuzhi thought to himself, and at the same time he had already arrived at the location of the dragon vein seal.

During the previous battle, he had already carefully examined the dragon vein seal, and in his mind he basically confirmed how to unseal and seal it.

Actually, it's just the combination of the Eight Trigrams Seal and the Four Symbols Seal; once the seal is damaged.

Even if it's normally undone, it will activate the surrounding Flying Thunder God; however, this isn't difficult, and—

Thinking this, his hand had already been placed directly on the seal.

Thud—

When Yuzhi's chakra spread and the seal was opened, a feeling like a heartbeat suddenly rippled through the main space.

And at that moment, he also felt a hidden fluctuation of the Flying Thunder God seal.

However, Yuzhi didn't mind; the appearance of a fluctuation in the Flying Thunder God seal is something he can choose to respond to or not, especially at fluctuation points outside the village, where he can even choose not to act.

Release!

With a single hand raised, Yuzhi's chakra quickly condensed; he ignored the outer seal and directly struck the core seal.

In an instant, the core of the dragon vein seal began to disperse.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Just then, a sudden gust of wind kicked up around, stones flew, flames extinguished, and that heartbeat feeling kept intensifying.

Gazing at the dragon vein seal about to be undone, Yuzhi's mouth twitched slightly; he immediately placed the prepared seal tools to one side.

The carriers for seals are diverse; the most basic is a scroll, next are items with better effect, and the best choice is naturally a person or some other thing more suitable for sealing.

For example, the Uchiha's Susanoo!

Yuzhi hadn't not considered sealing the dragon vein into Susanoo, but for now he decided to first store it in a sealing jar, and later handle these matters slowly after returning.

Well, let's begin!

Yuzhi took a deep breath, and immediately his chakra began to vibrate.

Instantly, the howling wind grew stronger and stronger, and the earth began to tremble.

In the trembling, the stone-paved ground cracked open with fissures, which rapidly spread in all directions.

Roar—

At that moment, a beast-like howl erupted, and a massive amount of chakra surged out of the seal in an instant!

This chakra shattered the tower, turning into a pillar of light that shot straight into the clouds, as if lighting up the entire night, but Haori also clasped his hands together at that moment.

"Four Symbols Seal!"

Roar—

The dragon vein chakra was still howling, but with Haori's movement its howl came to an abrupt halt.

The next moment, it roared as if being pulled, and frantically surged into Haori's jar.

"It's really surging; if we're not careful, this guy might escape."

Haori silently muttered in his heart, but now he no longer needs to worry about those dragon veins; he just needs to wait for the dragon vein to be completely sealed.

He only undid the core seal, but he did not touch the eight trigrams seal that kept the dragon vein locked in place.

These seals can help him; he won't mess around.

Roar—

Another roar, the dragon vein chakra seemed to know it had just broken free and would be sealed again, so it immediately began to struggle frantically.

Its struggling caused the tower to sway on the verge of collapse, and countless debris began to fall continuously.

Boom—

Suddenly, amidst its frantic struggling, the Flying Thunder God kunai, which was the core of the dragon vein seal, was instantly flung away.

The kunai sliced through the sky, passing in front of Haori, and he merely turned his head instinctively.

"Huh?"

But just then, his expression changed, for he clearly sensed the spatial fluctuation reappear.

And this time the source of the spatial fluctuation came from the Flying Thunder God!

"Rasengan!"

In an instant, light appeared behind Haori, accompanied by the howling chakra and a blond figure.

Boom—

The Rasengan struck the ground, the earth trembled, and thick smoke already appeared.

But soon, as the smoke dissipated, the interior of the tower was already empty.

Only the roaring dragon vein chakra continued to be sucked into Haori's seal jar.

Above an open space of Loulan City, Haori and Minato's figures appeared simultaneously, and they gazed at each other from afar.

"I didn't expect it to be you, but thinking about it, it's normal; a guy like you would indeed strike the dragon vein chakra."

Minato looked at Haori coldly; his words sounded icy, and a killing intent had completely entwined Haori.

This scene left Haori speechless; it was obvious that Obito that idiot had completely enraged Minato.

"Just you alone, Uchiha Haori?"

Although a bit embarrassed, Haori still put on an act and asked.

"Dealing with you doesn't require Haori to make a move."

Minato instantly pulled out several kunai, stared dead‑eyed at the enemy before him, and quickly thought of how to respond.

He actually knew that his top priority was to return to the seal site and quickly resolve the dragon vein chakra issue.

But the problem now is that if he doesn't deal with this guy, he cannot seal the dragon vein at all!

This situation was exactly like when he faced Kushina and the Nine‑Tails half a year ago.

This is also why Minato is so angry, and besides, the person who caused all this is the same one!

"Resolve the battle quickly, then seal the dragon vein."

Minato quickly made a decision in his heart; the next second, several kunai shot out suddenly, and he also flashed forward to appear before Haori.

Seeing the scattered kunai, Haori did not dodge or evade; he also rushed forward, his black staff heading straight for Minato.

However, he is not Obito; as he advanced, his Sharingan swept quickly.

Almost instantly, he had confirmed the positions and landing points of all the kunai, and at that moment he and Minato had crossed paths.

Hum—

Minato's kunai sliced through the sky, piercing Haori's body, but he didn't care.

He had already seen this last year, and in his memory this guy's hand‑to‑hand combat is rather poor.

Whether reaction speed or attack speed, they are absurdly slow; if not for this space technique protecting him, Minato could have dealt with this person more quickly.

"He's made a move—is it real or fake?"

As his body passed through, Minato saw that guy suddenly strike, and he felt a hint of hesitation.

Regardless of whether it was real or fake, Minato had already decided in his heart that he must seize every opportunity!

Swish—

His figure vanished in an instant, and almost immediately he appeared above Haori's right side with the Flying Thunder God!

The light halo of the Flying Thunder God fell swiftly, striking Haori's body hard.

"Ah"

However, what disappointed him was that he watched helplessly as the Rasengan passed through his body, realizing his attack had missed.

But he wasn't discouraged; he had already anticipated this, and just as he was about to withdraw.

That guy suddenly turned around and grabbed his wrist with his left hand!

"What?!"

Minato's pupils dilated instantly; he looked in disbelief at his wrist that was grabbed, and at the Rasengan that had not yet entered this guy's body.

At this moment, Minato's face changed!

Whoosh—

In an instant, Minato's figure disappeared and reappeared behind Yuzhi.

But Yuzhi's figure turned, like a leech clinging to bone, he flashed and clung on again, the black staff in his hand thrusting straight at Minato.

Clang—

Minato reacted swiftly, his Kunai blocked the black staff, but just as he was about to leave, Yuzhi suddenly spoke.

"You look surprised; Divine Might isn't just for the whole body—any position not involved in attack can be hidden in space."

"You"

Minato's expression was somewhat strange; he didn't expect anyone to announce their name.

"Are you surprised I'd say that?"

Yuzhi's face under the mask was full of smiles; he suddenly flicked Minato's Kunai away with force, then lunged at him.

Minato also followed closely at this moment; in an instant the two clashed, actually drawing out more than a dozen afterimages!

Clearly it was just a one-on-one duel, yet it was as fast as a melee of over a dozen people.

"Actually, even if I tell you, can you find a way to break it?"

Yuzhi fought quickly while laughing at Minato, while Minato's expression now turned solemn.

How did this guy's taijutsu and reaction speed suddenly increase so much?

Moreover, this guy's use of that space technique has reached a new level!

No, it should be said that this is what the so-called Divine Might space technique ought to look like.

"What on earth is going on?"

Seeing this guy before him strolling like in a leisurely garden, yet so fast it makes one's hair stand on end.

No matter what attack, it can directly nullify it; and no matter how I dodge, I will be caught up—Minato now has a headache.

"Shall we try using Senjutsu?"

Minato has always had a hidden trump card, and Senjutsu is naturally one of them.

But he doesn't have that massive amount of chakra to sustain the fusion and consumption required for Senjutsu, which is why he hasn't made Senjutsu a regular combat method.

But now he also needs to make a decision, otherwise.

Boom—

Suddenly, a muffled sound burst across the sky above Loulan, and the chakra pillar shooting straight into the heavens dimmed at this moment.

It gradually receded, slowly hiding into the high tower.

That violent aura kept dissipating at this moment, as if reminding everyone that everything is about to end!

"Oh no!"

Minato hesitated no longer; he gritted his teeth and began preparations, but Yuzhi seemed to realize something, suddenly pulling back and forming hand seals with both hands.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

The huge fire dragon roared toward Minato, its scorching heat seeming to set everything around ablaze!

Minato naturally wouldn't be hit by such a technique; he activated Flying Thunder God, instantly vanishing from the spot.

But at that instant, Yuzhi appeared in front of him.

"It's time to stop, Fourth Hokage, and don't even think about stopping what I'm about to do."

Yuzhi wore a smile, imitating Obito's cold tone as he spoke.

"Dream on, I won't let you succeed!"

Minato snorted coldly; just then the violent fire dragon smashed into the ground, the raging flames instantly sweeping the surroundings.

In the reflection of the flames, Yuzhi calmly shook his head.

"Guess whether Sand Village noticed this huge commotion; if they discover the Fourth Hokage appearing here..."

Minato's expression suddenly turned grim; the Hokage appearing in the Kazekage's territory without any greeting is absolutely a diplomatic crisis!

"Moreover, Fourth Hokage, look at what's below?"

At this moment, Minato's fists were completely clenched.

The residents of Loulan had already sensed the commotion; they naturally walked out of their homes.

Even though Loulan is now dilapidated and lacks its former glory, the population here is still not small.

"You say, if I aimed Fire Release down here, what would happen?"

Yuzhi seemed addicted to impersonating Obito, he lowered his voice and said gloomily.

"Fourth Hokage, you also wouldn't want those people below to suffer unnecessary casualties because of your decision, right?"

—

Outside Loulan, in a stretch of desert, space suddenly produced a vortex.

Obito's figure stumbled out of the space; although he appeared to have recovered, his heart was filled with rage!

"Who is it!?"

Obito roared loudly, looking at the Black Zetsu that also appeared beside him and shouting.

"Who exactly is that!? What on earth is going on?"

Obito was truly given a lesson; he can never forget that guy's indifferent tone just now, as if completely ignoring him.

Moreover, he can't forget that guy using the same power as him, yet completely overwhelming him in every way.

This guy's appearance terrified Obito even more than Uchiha Haori; at one point he even doubted whether he himself was real.

Otherwise, why would there be someone just like him yet completely surpassing him in every aspect?

"Obito, perhaps."

Hei Jue hesitated a little, and after a brief thought he spoke softly.

"Perhaps, that person is you."

"What?!"

Obito turned back, both angry and stunned, looking at Hei Jue in disbelief.

"He is me, then who am I?!"

"Listen to me first. Do you remember I told you that the power of the dragon vein is too great?"

Seeing Obito's predatory gaze, Hei Jue immediately began to explain.

"The dragon vein's chakra is too massive, and such violent chakra could cause some unimaginable accidents.

For example, piercing through time, crossing different worlds, making different people appear at different times, or within a world."

Hei Jue is still very clever; after all, he was created by Da Tongmu Kaguya, and even though he lacks power, his theoretical knowledge is abundant.

Although he has never seen it, such a thing is indeed possible, especially now that Obito has encountered this scene, which has essentially reinforced Hei Jue's thinking.

Otherwise, the current situation would be inexplicable.

Even if the Uchiha Clan once possessed the Eye Technique Transplant ability, to his knowledge that ability has long been lost.

And he doesn't recall anyone in the past who has activated a technique like Divine Might!

"Me, from different worlds and different times?"

Obito stared blankly at Hei Jue; he truly didn't believe such nonsense, yet at this moment he felt it somehow made sense.

That ability was almost identical, and he seemed to know it inside out, even developing it to an unimaginable level.

So that person was me?

But soon Obito's complexion turned pale; that guy is so formidable, could he be replaced?

At the thought, Obito's body couldn't help trembling.

"Hmm, you're probably right, but I'm afraid he differs from you greatly."

Hei Jue glanced at the Obito before him and, seeing him like that, knew what the guy was thinking.

To be honest, he really hoped what Obito imagined could happen, but based on memory and theoretical experience, he could only sigh.

"However, that guy probably won't stay in this world long; barring any mishap, he came here via dragon vein chakra.

He'll likely return to his own world soon, even if he takes this world's dragon vein away."

"Is that so?"

Obito seemed to exhale, unable to confirm Hei Jue's words were true, but at least it was good news.

That guy shouldn't linger in this world, because he's too terrifying.

But Obito was also pondering something: since that person is me, can I also possess such power?

"Also, is Divine Might actually used that way?"

Recalling that guy's performance, Obito's heart burned with hatred, yet for some reason his spirit was drawn.

"Hmm?"

But at that moment, he suddenly frowned, and a Kunai flew toward them—

"Damn bastard!"

In an oasis of the desert outside Loulan, Shui Men watched from afar the dissipating chakra, feeling the dragon vein chakra wane.

At that moment he knew clearly, this time he had lost!

As the Hokage, his appearance in other great nations is taboo; for his ninja way, he does not wish to involve innocent people.

Yet that damned guy seized both points and skillfully exploited them.

This forced him to stop, because he knew that irredeemable scoundrel could definitely do something!

Watching that guy leave with something, Shui Men finally chose to depart Loulan.

But he didn't go straight back; he waited outside Loulan for a while, and after confirming nothing else happened, he planned to leave.

"Only, this time that guy seems different from before."

Shui Men hurried forward; he now needed some quiet, so he didn't return directly to Leaf Village.

Tonight's events moved him greatly and added a lot of pressure.

Without Yuzhi's help, he faced that guy alone and was disastrously defeated, which made him doubt one thing.

If that night the Nine-Tails had no Yuzhi, how would he and Kushina have fared?

Even then, that damned guy lacked such power, yet was still quite troublesome!

"Also, what exactly is that guy? Aside from his strength, he feels completely different from before."

Shui Men thought silently as he walked, but soon shook his head.

This isn't something he needs to consider; he just needs to confirm this is an enemy, and one more thing must be clarified.

That is, this guy has obtained the dragon vein; everything will become even more terrifying!

"Ah, fortunately Leaf Village has Yuzhi and the others."

Thinking of this, Shui Men couldn't help sighing; he decided he must make Gang Shou push harder.

"Hmm?"

As he pondered, he halted his steps, because he suddenly sensed a subtle spatial fluctuation.

The fluctuation wasn't strong, but that familiar feeling wouldn't be easily forgotten.

"It's not far from here, is that guy?"

Shui Men's gaze hardened; after a moment's thought he rushed toward the direction of the fluctuation.

The earlier battle left Shui Men especially frustrated, but this place is not Loulan!

Minato was extremely fast; not long after, aided by the moonlight, he saw two figures appear in the distance.

In the moonlight, he clearly saw that damned guy!

Whoosh——

Kunai shot out, flying at extreme speed toward that guy's position.

The moment the kunai struck the ground, Minato's figure had already appeared before that guy!

He slightly raised his head, the killing intent in his eyes already bursting forth; he coldly looked at the two before him and shouted in a cold voice:

Come on, let's continue our fight; this time I'll see where you run!

Obito, Black Zetsu: "."

——

You came late.

Outside Sand Hidden Village, Xianan looked at Yuzhi's suddenly appearing figure and involuntarily spoke in a cold voice.

And Xie showed little emotional change, instead curiously gazing at the distorted space.

We've encountered some minor troubles, but everything has been resolved.

Yuzhi shrugged indifferently, and beneath his mask his face still bore a pleased smile.

Obito has already taken the blame this time, and his mission is also completed; now only the last thing remains.

Let's go, we'll set out, solve the problem as soon as possible; it's not early anymore.

Yuzhi said while raising his head to look at the moonlight in the sky.

It's indeed not early now; heaven knows how Hikari will be if we return late.
