"This kid."
Obito stood within the flames, his expression not looking very good.
He had originally been observing in secret, while also waiting for news from Sasuke. He hadn't expected Takemi to encounter Sasuke.
But this wasn't a bad thing either. He had intended to test Takemi anyway, and now that Sasuke was also here, wasn't it perfect?
However, what he hadn't anticipated was that this kid, who had just been talking about Itachi a second ago, would throw a kunai with an explosive tag at him the next second.
If he hadn't maintained his 'Kamui' state the entire time, it would have been hard to say if he wouldn't have been in trouble this time.
To be discovered by a kid, and that brat even made the first move?
Obito couldn't accept something so utterly outrageous.
"But this kid's sensory abilities..."
"Both of you, pay attention. Find an opportunity and leave immediately."
Although the explosion just now should have attracted a lot of attention,Takemi still reminded them in a low voice.
"This person should be an accomplice of Itachi, and Sasuke, are you sure all the Uchiha died that night?"
"..."
Sasuke, who had been startled and panicked by this sudden turn of events, instantly turned gloomy upon hearing this question.
What kind of question is this?
But soon, when he saw the seemingly intangible figure standing in the flames with the scarlet eye beneath the mask, his face instantly turned somewhat pale.
"That's... Sharingan?"
"What Sharingan?"
Naruto looked confused. He only knew that the person opposite was an enemy and didn't know anything else.
"Hmm?"
But just at this moment, he suddenly clutched his stomach and squatted down. His aura became exceptionally chaotic, and even a red Chakra emerged.
"Is the Nine-Tails reacting?"
Seeing this, Takemi immediately understood what was happening. Perhaps the Nine-Tails remembered Obito's aura, but this wasn't bad either.
The Nine-Tails reacting is the biggest event in the village.
"The Nine-Tails, huh... Hmph, still as foolish as ever."
Obito swept a glance at Naruto before speaking indifferently, "Kid, you have good eyes, but—"
He didn't mind others seeing his Sharingan, after all, he had already transformed into 'Uchiha Madara'.
He walked forward slowly, the surrounding flames seemingly unable to touch him. The next instant, his speed suddenly increased dramatically, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the three.
"Everything you're doing is futile!"
"Go!"
Takemi had been watching Obito's movements the entire time. The moment he made his move, he had already pushed Sasuke and Naruto away, and at the same time, purple lightning appeared in his right hand.
Obito's strength is actually quite ridiculous. At the time of Minato's death, he could instantly wipe out an Anbu squad and control the Nine-Tails with just a single glance.
Even when fighting Minato, he didn't die after taking a DIRECT hit from a Rasengan, which shows how durable he was.
But actually, his basic abilities aren't that great. In fact, he relies entirely on Kamui. To stall or even deal with him, some tactics are needed.
Fortunately, he knows 3 ways to deal with Kamui.
Buzz—
The purple lightning instantly streaked across Obito's mask, but this didn't cause any trouble at all.
Obito immediately made his move. A chain appeared in his hand, and the moment he avoided Takemi's attack, he whipped it out.
However, Obito slightly frowned because he found that Takemi seemed to have anticipated it, lowering his body to avoid his attack.
Failing to land a hit, Obito was a bit surprised, but the movements of his hands didn't stop.
Takemi quickly flashed again, avoiding Obito's attack while also pulling back some distance, and at the same time, he began to form hand seals.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
A massive fireball instantly spewed out of his mouth, surging towards Obito, prompting Obito to shake his head in disdain.
"Is this how Kakashi, that failure, taught you? It's completely useless!"
He didn't dodge at all. His Sharingan moved, and several massive shuriken instantly flew towards Takemi like a hurricane.
Earth Release: Earth Style Wall!
Takemi stopped pretending, and almost instantly completed the hand seals. The ground trembled, and a massive earth wall rose up, solidly blocking those shuriken.
"Your hand seal speed is quite fast."
Obito snorted coldly and spoke disdainfully, "You want to use this method to attract attention, but you also need to be able to stall for time."
Takemi said, "Actually, it's enough."
The Earth Style Wall dissipated at this moment, and Takemi slowly appeared.
He gazed at Obito in the distance and spoke deliberately, "I can see your state. You're not an illusion. You can most likely avoid my attacks through some specific method."
"And the shuriken just now... I heard the Fourth Hokage has a spatial ninjutsu. Yours is probably similar, right?"
"Yes." Obito nodded.
The next instant, his entire body disappeared again, and his figure appeared from underground, heading straight for Takemi.
"But even if you know, can you hold on? Don't you know? Konoha people are always late."
Whoosh—
The chain swept across, but Takemi had already jumped up at this moment. Several kunai flew towards Obito again.
Unfortunately, Obito seemed to still be in the Kamui dimension, causing the kunai to go directly through his body.
"How boring. Under the absolute difference in strength, no matter how you resist, it's ultimately just useless struggle."
Obito pressed closer, but the moment his chain was about to touch Takemi, he suddenly felt something.
Sizzle—
At this moment, Takemi's body turned into surging purple electric current, making Obito's brows furrow slightly.
"Lightning Clone? Was it when he used the Earth Style Wall just now?"
The Sharingan's observation ability is unquestionable, but some clones are still incredibly deceptive. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been fooled by Kakashi's Lightning Clone in the future.
Feeling the lightning surge up his chain, his gaze narrowed because almost at the same time, countless kunai attacked him again from behind.
"Tch, this kid—" Obito snorted coldly.
He leaped backward and at the same time, his gaze focused, and everything around him became distorted.
Actually, he wanted to quickly transfer himself, but he had genuinely made a move just now, which meant his body was in the real world.
And having only one Mangekyo Sharingan meant the time required to transfer himself was longer than transferring other things.
The most pressing matter, of course, was to transfer those kunai first. Space distorted, and in an instant, the flying kunai disappeared without a trace.
However, not far away, Takemi, who had already pulled back some distance, showed a smile on his face upon seeing this.
This was the moment he was waiting for, wasn't it?
