You must be careful. If the intruder is too strong, don't be reckless. Protect yourself first."
Arata looked at her worried expression, said nothing, and nodded, sending her to a villa inside the space.
Then, he went to Uchiha Sasuke's bedroom and transported the still-sleeping Sasuke, along with his blanket, to the space beside Mikoto
Since the clan elders and the leader were absent, as the deputy head of the Uchiha, Arata had to bear the responsibility of protecting the clan.
But if faced with a truly overwhelming enemy, he would retreat first.
After ensuring
Mikoto and Sasuke were safe inside the space, Arata rushed out, jumped onto the rooftops, and leaped toward the area where the spatial fluctuation had been detected.
Even though it sounds complicated, from the moment Obito was detected to the point Arata secured Mikoto and reached the fluctuation, less than a minute had passed.
When he arrived at the outskirts of the Uchiha territory, he was already wearing armor that radiated a purple-black glow, fully protecting him.
This was a miniaturized use of Susanoo....possibly less powerful offensively, but with full defensive strength and enhanced mobility.
Arata was extremely cautious. Obito's Kamui and Black Zetsu's small black hands were unpredictable, so he knew he could never be too careful.
Standing on the rooftop near the spatial fluctuation, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan scanned the surroundings.
There was no visible movement, but he knew that if it was Obito, he could very well be hidden inside Kamui, so he remained vigilant.
After scanning for a while, a figure suddenly appeared to his left front: a man wearing a whirlpool mask and a fiery-red cloak.
Arata immediately focused on him. Based on his attire, Arata confirmed that the person before him was indeed the traitor Uchiha Obito, who had been hiding in the shadows.
However, to avoid alerting Obito and Black Zetsu, Arata pretended not to know them. With his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he firmly stared at Obito and demanded:
"Who are you, daring to trespass in the Uchiha Clan's territory?"
His tone was proud yet questioning, fully reflecting the Uchiha style.
Obito recalled his days living in the Uchiha Clan. As an Uchiha, he had always been the weakest.
While the elders never mistreated him, peers his age often mocked and bullied him with this very tone.
Clenching his fists, he sneered at Arata:
"As expected from the first clan of kekkei genkai, even your tone is so arrogant."
Arata, seemingly provoked, snorted and activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, spinning it rapidly.
He immediately used the Mangekyō technique "Tsukuyomi."
This was a test: Arata knew Obito was probably using Kamui to phase out, making physical and ninjutsu attacks ineffective.
Tsukuyomi would allow him to see whether Obito could withstand a direct genjutsu assault.
When Arata unleashed Tsukuyomi, Obito's heart skipped a beat.
He hadn't expected Arata to immediately use a Sharingan technique, and he was caught off guard.
Since Tsukuyomi is a mental attack, it is fast and inflicts significant psychological damage depending on the target's resistance and mental strength...just like Kakashi had once been incapacitated by Uchiha Itachi's gaze, and later, Uchiha Sasuke could break the genjutsu during the Three Tomoe stage.
Caught in the genjutsu, Obito's spiritual form was pulled into Arata's illusion. Arata then, like Itachi, tied him to a cross and summoned his sword, attacking him relentlessly.
Although in the real world it lasted only a moment, inside the genjutsu space, Uchiha Arata had been stabbing Uchiha Obito with a great sword for three days and three nights.
Of course, this also included being burned, pelted with stones, strangled, and other tortures.
It was similar to the restraint Uchiha Itachi had shown when sparing Kakashi....otherwise, Kakashi might have broken mentally and would not have recovered so quickly.
The moment Uchiha Obito's spiritual form returned to reality, all the pain and suffering he endured in the genjutsu space was reflected on his physical body, making him scream in unbearable agony and collapse to the ground.
The extreme pain drenched his clothes in sweat, while sweat dripped endlessly from his face, and his intangibility had already been passively undone.
Uchiha Arata watched Obito's reaction with satisfaction.
