Blood seeped slowly from his body, staining the earth crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, the lifeless forms of their teacher and the girl completed the horrific scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it? Do you feel the pain, Uchiha prodigy…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Itachi's stunned, vacant expression, Obito stopped in front of him, the corner of his mouth curling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…You?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito's voice snapped Itachi back to reality. Just as he raised his head to respond, a flash of red caught his attention and his eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're… Uchiha…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze locked on the Sharingan visible under the mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Itachi was sharp, even as a child. He quickly narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No… you're not one of Konoha's Uchiha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his kunai, gripping it tightly, his eyes filled with wariness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito ignored the defensive stance, only lifting an eyebrow as he stared into Itachi's gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rare talent indeed. Looks like your reputation as a genius isn't just talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems,\" Obito said with a faint smile, \"that my gift has been delivered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words puzzled Itachi until he realized something felt different. His vision… sharper than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thought struck him. Could it be…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his kunai slightly, letting the sunlight reflect into his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What stared back at him was no longer plain black irises but deep crimson, each eye bearing two rotating tomoe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had awakened the Uchiha's kekkei genkai the Sharingan and at the second tomoe stage no less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of joy, the awakening came with an ache that weighed on his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the truth sank in, his expression darkened. He glared at Obito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What do you mean by 'gift'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm… Didn't you already guess?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito's tone was almost teasing as he pointed to his own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When an Uchiha awakens the Sharingan, it's often born from pain and loss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The truest pain,\" he continued, \"is the pain of losing someone dear. Only when you experience that sorrow… do you truly awaken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This,\" Obito said calmly, \"is my birthday present to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head slightly, as if noting something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Though… I didn't expect you to awaken at the second tomoe right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi's face twisted with disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you… had no personal grudge against them. From the start, you were after me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. Sharp mind,\" Obito replied, sounding pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I killed them for one reason... they were your teammates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for who they were? I couldn't care less.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread his hands casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The color drained from Itachi's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This masked man wasn't here to kill him but his teacher and friends had died simply because of their connection to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a breath, Itachi pressed on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you? Why target me? What's your purpose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito chuckled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Itachi, you still don't seem to understand your own value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What do you mean?\" Itachi asked, brows furrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're the Uchiha clan's celebrated prodigy graduated from the Academy in your first year, known across Konoha. And you're the clan head's son.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's a dangerous amount of attention. The kind of attention people with plans never ignore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito's tone was playful, but his words were deliberate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi stood silent, trying to process it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for my identity and purpose…\" Obito said as his Sharingan morphed into a pair of sickle-shaped patterns,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…we'll talk next time we meet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space around him began to warp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't want trouble, don't tell anyone you saw me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that you've awakened your Sharingan, look into its abilities when you return. And under Naka Shrine, there's a stone tablet that only those with the Sharingan can read.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you have the time, you might find something… enlightening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, his body distorted into the swirling void and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Those eyes…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Itachi stared at the spot where Obito had disappeared. The pattern in those eyes wasn't the Sharingan he knew, it had surpassed even the three tomoe stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from his words, Obito would seek him out again. Which meant his purpose wasn't just forcing Itachi's awakening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning toward the bodies of his teacher and teammates, the weight of reality crushed down on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…It's my fault… all because of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears blurred his vision, falling freely down his cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Kamui dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He should be hooked… he won't blow my cover this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito sat casually, touching his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he wasn't in a rush to claim Madara's name himself, better to let Uchiha Itachi connect the dots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By revealing his Mangekyō Sharingan and dropping hints about the Naka Shrine tablet, he had set the perfect trail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Itachi saw the tablet's contents and linked them to the man with the Mangekyō, the conclusion would be obvious: Madara Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far more convincing than anything Obito could've said outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--------------------------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Support me at patreon.com\u002FArthorain and read upto 50 Advanced Chapters and Exclusive R-18 Content!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--------------------------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Update schedule: 7 chapters\u002Fweek\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every 300 power stones = 1 Extra Chapter\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By voting with [power stones], you can easily get double the number of chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>",874,"2026-06-05T20:19:17.122Z",1,"novelbin.me","2736b6ee0667794a17e4b35e48e0119994d90cbeacd54be29583c52864874aa0","naruto-reborn-as-uchiha-obito-chapter-76","naruto-reborn-as-uchiha-obito-chapter-74",238,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnaruto-reborn-as-uchiha-obito-cover.jpg"]
