Chapter 52: Why Is This Happening? (Please Continue Reading)

Obito felt heartache, but he knew the misunderstanding he had just caused was huge.

So he forced himself to endure the inner discomfort and swiftly dodged that slash.

Even after such a setback, he was still willing to trust Kakashi and the others, believing they would surely recognize him!

"You damned bastard!"

What Obito didn't know was that Kakashi, for some unknown reason, felt unusually irritated upon seeing Obito.

A strong emotion seemed to brew in his mind, making him involuntarily loathe the guy before him.

Not only him, Rin also felt the same.

But at that moment neither of them probed the issue; perhaps, in their view, it was because Obito almost killed Rin that gave them this feeling.

Yuzhi felt nothing about it; he was only pondering one question—how to end all this.

"All Mist Village people are ANBU; they are strong, and although Rock Ninja are weaker, they have backup forces."

After flipping a Rock Ninja, Yuzhi quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

"But now the situation is basically clear; that guy Madara is probably trying to trigger Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan by killing Rin.

Of course, this might just be part of the plan; who knows what other ideas that guy has.

Since that's the case,"

Thinking that, Yuzhi couldn't help but take a deep breath; he made a decision in his heart—to use Sage Mode!

He truly didn't want to use this power lightly; on one hand, it consumes too much and its duration is short.

On the other hand, that old ghost Madara is probably watching everything here now.

Moreover, the most important thing is that he's only used this power once, and the fight ended before it even began.

But if the current situation drags on, it would certainly be no good for them.

Yuzhi might as well give it his all; that could make things better for him.

"Even if it doesn't work, is there Hikari?"

Hikari didn't act at that moment; earlier Yuzhi had spoken with her, and now she was clearly holding back.

After all, Yuzhi still needs to hone his Sharingan, so this battle is truly necessary for him.

With that in mind, Yuzhi simultaneously dealt with the attacks from Mist Village and Rock Village while secretly preparing Sage Mode.

"Why..."

While Yuzhi was secretly preparing, Obito's mood worsened, and his mind kept repeating that sentence.

The battle remained stalemated; Obito had Xuanwo Lian's assistance, and continuous fighting accelerated the fusion of his White Absolute Cells.

This made his abilities grow stronger, and to catch Kakashi and Rin's attention, he even began repeatedly using Uchiha Clan techniques.

Or more precisely, the abilities they commonly used during training with Kakashi and Rin.

Unfortunately, no matter what he did, he couldn't seem to attract Kakashi and Rin's attention.

And whenever he got a little closer, he was met with Kakashi's hostile gaze and Rin's cold stare!

Even if he shielded Kakashi or Rin from enemy attacks, it didn't change the disgusted looks they gave him.

"Why is this happening"

Obito silently asked himself why; he didn't understand the reason.

"Why can't you recognize me? Why is it like this?"

We are all betrayed people, and also forgotten people.

For some reason, Madara's words suddenly flashed in Obito's mind.

Am I truly forgotten, truly betrayed?

"Die!"

For a moment, Obito was dazed; even when a Mist ninja rushed forward swinging a blade, he didn't react.

"Careful, Yuzhi!"

Coincidentally, almost at the same time, another Mist ninja charged to Yuzhi's side while he was idly preparing Sage Mode.

But Rin and Kakashi reacted almost simultaneously, loudly warning and moving to intercept.

"Why... is this happening?"

Obito's body couldn't help trembling, yet at that moment his body suddenly shifted aside, barely dodging the slash.

"Hey, you need to focus; otherwise you'll die."

Clearly, Xuanwo Lian's White Absolute saved Obito's life, but Obito's gaze still stared aside.

Meanwhile, Yuzhi was fully prepared; in an instant, a unique power erupted within his body.

A strange pale violet shadow appeared at the corner of his eye, and at that moment he felt his strength was almost unimaginable!

"Is this the true power of Sage Mode?"

Yuzhi murmured softly; he could feel his power growing, and the mass of his chakra seemed even more terrifying.

Moreover, his perception seemed unimaginable; even without looking, he could sense enemy movements.

Such perception combined with his Sharingan would only become more terrifying!

He lifted his head, looked at the Mist ninja rushing toward him, and Yuzhi felt the ninja's speed was painfully slow.

Buzz—

The Ninja Sword whirled instantly, and with its light hum a visible blade flash shot out together with chakra.

The Mist ninja couldn't dodge at all; even though he tried to evade, the blade still sliced off his arm!

"Thanks, you all, I'm fine."

Yuzhi looked at the two people now standing before him and gave a faint smile.

"From now on, leave it to me!"

As he spoke, his gaze again fell on the Rock Village and Mist Village ninjas still fighting nearby, who were also charging toward them.

"Sage Art: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

As if in an instant, he had already completed the hand seals, and massive chakra surged wildly within his body.

The natural atmosphere grew even denser at that moment, and a gigantic fire dragon burst forth, crashing fiercely into the crowd!

Boom—

A massive roar suddenly rang out, the raging flames swept the forest, and the violent explosion even made the ground tremble slightly.

"Hm? What's going on?"

In the distance, Asma and a group of Leaf Village ninjas were rushing toward here.

They had also detected the Mist Village ninja's trail, so they pursued quickly, and Asma kept thinking all the way that he could defeat Yuzhi this time.

"If I beat him, at least I can make Red Boy say a few words."

However, they truly hadn't expected to encounter such a scene.

Especially as they watched the massive thick smoke rising in the distance, and the relentless flames.

This made them suddenly realize that the battle might be far more brutal than they had imagined!

They exchanged glances, and the group suddenly accelerated, trying to reach the battlefield as quickly as possible.

"Huff, huff"

On the battlefield, Yuzhi, slightly panting, scanned the surroundings, where flames already shot up to the sky.

The Rock Village and Mist Village ninjas had already dispersed; even though they hadn't left, they now dared not come up lightly.

"What kind of person is this guy?"

Using the firelight and smoke, Yuzhi employed his Sage Mode perception and Sharingan, raging like a malevolent spirit in the smoke.

Although he didn't completely annihilate them, Yuzhi made them temporarily unwilling to act rashly!

After all, these are ninjas, not pigs awaiting slaughter; even a pig would run when in danger.

However, Xuanwo Lian Obito still didn't hide; he stood not far from Yuzhi and the other two, his eyes still fixed rigidly on them.

"This bastard!"

Kakashi and Lin also stared at Obito, their eyes still full of caution and disgust.

This gaze made Obito's heart feel like being cut by a knife; he hadn't been recognized, and he never was recognized!

"Why is this happening, why is this happening?"

"Wait a moment."

Yuzhi suddenly spoke, also feeling that this Obito had some issue, or perhaps Kakashi and Lin had some issue.

He suddenly had a strange thought; he didn't have a helping motive, but now a possibility occurred to him.

"This guy has a Sharingan, and his fighting style just now was very like a Uchiha."

At this point, Yuzhi paused, his gaze fixed on Obito, then whispered,

"Are you Uchiha Obito?"

"Impossible!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Obito's eyes showed shock, only to be instantly interrupted by Kakashi and Lin.

"Yuzhi, he can't be Obito!"

"Don't joke, Yuzhi."

Hearing the two, Yuzhi fell silent for a moment, while Obito's body began to tremble, his eyes losing their light.

"Why. Why?"

"Why could even Uchiha Haori recognize me, but you all still couldn't?"

"Why is this happening!"

Newbie kneeling, begging for a continuation; now a continuation will decide the fate of an entire book, nurturing a book is easy, but can also kill it.

Thanks to all the big brothers, Onz.
