Chapter 24 - Obito's Secret Identity is No Longer a Secret

Bang——

Under the attack of Wood Release, Takemi 's Shadow Clone instantly turned into smoke and Obito's mask also shattered at this moment.

If he hadn't dodged quickly, his head might have been blown apart.

"Damn brat!"

Obito gritted his teeth as he looked at Takemi. He had already realized what was going on.

"This brat!!! He used that Earth Style Wall to block my sight, then used a clone to pressure me, and finally forced me to transfer the kunai with Kamui. Did he turn his clone into a kunai in the end?"

This tactic wasn't complicated, it only exploited a difference in information, but the problem was...

"How did this brat know about my ability? Could it be that he managed to analyze it even faster than Minato-sensei?!"

Obito's face was full of disbelief, but at this moment, he couldn't think too much.

Whoosh——

Accompanied by a series of sounds, several Anbu sealed off the surroundings. They stood high on the rooftops and eaves, holding sharp blades and staring at Obito.

Not only that, Obito also saw Sarutobi Hiruzen and others looking over, and among the crowd, he also saw the person he least wanted to see.

"Kakashi."

Although Kakashi was still in weak condition, he quickly followed Guy's actions.

It was just that their eyes were somewhat inexplicable. They had all witnessed Takemi piercing through the body of the person in front of them.

But strangely, this unknown person was unharmed, only his mask was shattered.

"That... that is..."

When Guy and Kakashi saw the attacker's face, Kakashi's mind instantly went blank. That special sense of familiarity surfaced within him.

It wasn't just him. Even Guy, who had come with him, had a confused look on his face and then whispered to Kakashi beside him.

"Kakashi, this person looks a bit familiar..."

"Who are you? Why are you in Konoha?" Sarutobi Hiruzen took a step forward and asked.

He didn't find Obito familiar, but his gaze was fixed on the wooden spikes in Obito's hand and that crimson Sharingan.

"Wood Release? And Sharingan?"

His heart sank secretly and it wasn't just him. Danzo, who was beside him, also had a look of shock in his eyes.

That night, wasn't it supposed to have been handled cleanly?

Why was there still such a hidden danger?

Could it be that Itachi played a trick?

"Hmph!" Obito snorted coldly.

He wobbled as he stood up, and his figure instantly became distorted.

His gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Takemi, who had already returned to stand in front of Sasuke and Naruto.

He knew that everything he wanted to do today was no longer possible. He didn't want to be surrounded by the people of Konoha.

Especially since this brat seemed to have figured out Kamui...

"Who I am isn't important. After all, we will meet again."

"Attack!"

The surrounding ninjas didn't know what was going on, but Danzo was in a hurry. He immediately shouted loudly.

As soon as his voice fell, several kunai flew out, reaching Obito in an instant.

Clang——

Clang——

Clang——

These kunai passed directly through Obito's body and stuck to the ground behind him, as if they were invisible and intangible, and Obito also disappeared.

"He's gone?" Jiraiya frowned.

He quickly ran to Naruto and started checking him, but soon breathed a sigh of relief.

"The seal is fine, but some Chakra has leaked out. It seems that guy has a big temper."

"Takemi, what happened here?"

Guy, supporting Kakashi, also came to Takemi. His question immediately attracted the attention of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others.

"Guy-sensei, I'm not quite sure about the specific situation."

Takemi immediately put on an innocent look, but felt a little regretful in his heart.

Damn it, he ran really fast!

Couldn't you at least leave a hand for me before running?

However, glancing at the dazed Kakashi, he couldn't help but nod.

Since things have come to this, let's do the mission first...

"When Naruto and I were walking home, we happened to meet Sasuke. At that time, I sensed someone was following us. I secretly took a look at his attire and confirmed that he wasn't from Konoha, so..."

"So you struck first?"

Jiraiya looked at the blazing fire next to them and then nodded.

"And also to notify us?"

"Yes."

Takemi immediately nodded. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "And that guy, if there's nothing unexpected, he should be with Jūzō and Itachi. Sasuke and I talked about this before, and he didn't deny it, and he also has a Sharingan."

"It's possible."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, but this made him feel even more of a headache.

However, he still had questions, so he walked up to Takemi. A forced kind smile appeared on his old face.

"Takemi, you had contact with that guy and fought him. What's your opinion of him?"

The fact that that guy just disappeared made Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyelids twitch. Not only that, but the wooden spikes in that guy's hand also sent a chill down his spine.

But precisely because Takemi seemed to have caused that guy a great loss, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to ask carefully.

"Lord Hokage." Takemi was quite respectful.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "That guy seems to know a very special space ninjutsu. It transfers things, including himself. It's very difficult to hit him with any attack."

"Because I ambushed him beforehand, I discovered this characteristic. Sasuke and Naruto both saw him ignore the flames."

As he spoke, he also turned to look at the two kids.

However, one of them was already somewhat dumbfounded, as if he didn't know what was going on at all, while the other was being fussed over by Jiraiya, seemingly to reinforce the seal.

But Sasuke snapped back to reality and nodded with a somewhat complex expression. However, his gaze couldn't help but turn to Takemi.

This guy...

Is he that strong?!

"Space ninjutsu?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's scalp felt numb. He naturally knew the power of this kind of jutsu. Minato was very skilled in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Oh, right, Lord Hokage."

Just as he was about to ask Takemi how he made that guy suffer a loss, Takemi suddenly spoke, "That guy is a bit strange. As soon as he made a move, Naruto had a strong reaction and became like this. There might be some problem here, after all, Naruto..."

"A very strong reaction?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's forehead twitched. Just now, Jiraiya had said 'that guy has a big temper'.

Suddenly, a bad thought popped into his mind.

Could it be...

"Besides that, while I was waiting for reinforcements, he said, 'The people of Konoha are always late,' and he seemed to hold a lot of resentment."

Seeing that no one was responding, Takemi simply continued speaking, "And, he seems to have some connection with Kakashi-sensei."

"Kakashi?"

This sentence immediately made everyone look at the still somewhat dazed Kakashi, and Takemi's voice sounded again.

"Yes, he kept saying that Kakashi-sensei is a failure. It seems like they have a grudge against each other."

"Besides that, his Sharingan is in his right eye, while Kakashi-sensei's is in his left eye. Could there be some connection here?"

"!!!"

This series of words immediately stimulated everyone's nerves, and Kakashi's already blank eyes became even more hollow at this moment.

"Hey, hey, hey, could it be that that guy is...?"

Guy muttered softly, but he quickly fell silent again.

After all, that person had died as a hero of Konoha.

For a moment, everyone seemed a little silent.

Even Takemi couldn't help but glance at Kakashi, saying 'I'm sorry' in his heart.

But soon, his eyelids suddenly twitched, and then he lowered his head slightly.
