"The same trick won't work twice."
Flying Thunder God is a particularly troublesome Ninjutsu, but if you can deflect the Kunai inscribed with the Flying Thunder God spell, you can dodge the attack.
However, as soon as Obito finished speaking, Minato suddenly disappeared and slammed him into the ground with a Rasengan that had already been formed.
Just like 16 years ago.
"Was it left from back then?"
Obito gritted his teeth. Having just taken damage from the Rasengan, he immediately thought of the reason behind it. There was no other possibility besides that battle 16 years ago.
Even though he understood this, he was slow to get up, his hatred reaching an extreme.
His teacher was such a powerful ninja, he could calmly deal with himself even during the Nine-Tails' rampage. So why couldn't he protect his students?
Why could he be resurrected and breathe the air of this world? Despite being his teacher, he had never recognized him.
"Wood Release: Piercing Claws!"
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Dozens of wooden spikes shot out from Zetsu's arm. At the same time, the Third Raikage immediately blocked in front of Minato, radiating black lightning that formed a leopard shape and shattered all the incoming wooden spikes.
Bang!
The next moment, he appeared in front of Zetsu and pierced straight through Zetsu's chest with his most powerful "One-Finger Core Fist."
"It's useless. We won't die just from this," the white part of Zetsu said.
"If ten times don't work, then a hundred times. Let's see how long you can last," the Third Raikage's behemoth body trembled, and even more violent electricity covered him.
"What's your purpose for coming here?" Mu floated in mid-air, warily watching the two men who hadn't made a move.
"My purpose? Guess," the burly man laughed heartily.
"Is that so? If you don't deal with me properly, you'll die," Mu's eyes turned cold. A white barrier slowly formed between his hands, and he was about to unleash it when, suddenly, a thin stream of water shot through the air from behind him.
Just as the water stream was about to hit Mu, he leaned his body slightly to the side, dodged it, and immediately turned to unleash his Dust Release.
The white cylindrical barrier instantly annihilated the man in red clinging to the wall, but he quickly reappeared on another wall.
"A clone?" Mu muttered, casting a deep look at the two men who hadn't made a move, then slowly faded from sight.
"Don't you need to stop them? We didn't come here to watch them fight," the Blue and White man said to the burly man.
"What does it matter? You and I aren't in a hurry. Isn't this a good opportunity to see their so-called 'techniques'?"
Their conversation was not hidden from anyone. All of a sudden, everyone looked at them. Obito snorted coldly, knowing that these guys wouldn't make a move.
Without the Rinnegan, he was no match for Minato. The other two guys also seemed to be no match for the Raikage and Tsuchikage. The only thing to do now was to retreat.
"Fourth Hokage, I'll be waiting to face you again."
His body gradually sank into the earth. Without him saying it, everyone knew he had once again disappeared into another dimension.
This seemed to be a signal. Seeing Obito leave, Zetsu also hid himself using the Ephemeral Art. The man in red turned into a puddle of water and disappeared. The other two vanished into smoke with two pops.
"Damn it!" the Third Raikage roared. Three Kage-level figures on their side had attacked, yet they still let them escape. This was unacceptable to him.
Minato and Mu felt the same way. They could only grit their teeth and continue sealing the Dragon Vein, leaving this place.
They needed to report this matter to the current Five Kage as soon as possible, especially the burly man and the Blue and White man, who gave them a dangerous feeling.
"Why didn't you guys make a move just now?"
Amidst the swirling yellow sand, Obito looked at the two men walking slowly towards him and asked with dissatisfaction.
After all, if they had made a move just now, even with Minato's Flying Thunder God, they could have captured one of the other two.
The Blue and White man sneered, "It's rare to encounter such interesting guys. It would be boring if we killed them too quickly."
"Just for that reason?" Obito was infuriated and said angrily, "Do you know what you're doing?"
"Hmph! It's already showing you enough respect that we're explaining. You mere ants, don't get carried away!" the burly man said coldly.
"You!"
"Alright, is what you wanted prepared?"
"No, there was an accident, and the Chakra from the One-Tails is slightly insufficient," Obito knew it wasn't the time to argue and answered truthfully after calming down.
"Slightly insufficient? Meaning you can barely awaken the Ten-Tails, right?" the Blue and White man said sinisterly.
"That would take a considerable amount of time, and with the current situation, we don't have time to waste."
"Then what do we do?!"
Obito took a deep breath, his eyes sharp. "We'll have to go find him."
…
Konoha
Neji emerged from Kaguya's dimension and onto the street. Seeing the people on high alert outside, he couldn't help but feel the pressure.
At this moment, a fat man he had never seen before suddenly walked towards him. Under his slightly stunned gaze, the man lightly patted his shoulder and whispered, "Neji, come with me."
Just as Neji was about to ask what was going on, he saw an Uzumaki appear around the man's eyes, which slowly sucked him in.
"Uchiha Obito!"
Neji was suddenly shocked, never expecting him to be so bold as to openly enter Konoha.
"Well, let me see what you're up to," Neji muttered, following the trail Obito had left behind.
With his strength, even if Obito and Black Zetsu teamed up, they wouldn't be his match, so what harm would it do to follow him?
"What do you want with me?"
In a forest in the eastern part of Konoha, Neji looked at the masked man in front of him and asked.
"Don't hold such malice towards me. I just want to make a deal with you," Obito said indifferently.
"A deal? I really can't imagine what good deal I could have with someone like you who abandons his comrades," Neji said dismissively, crossing his arms.
"Abandoning comrades? Hmph, to me, those clan members who live in peace and are content with what they have can hardly be called comrades. Even if I didn't act, they would perish sooner or later because they've forgotten what the name Uchiha represents."
Obito said with an air of seniority, showing no burden or guilt for killing his clansmen. Everything seemed ordinary to him.
"I'm not talking about that. You killed your teacher and his wife, you won't forget that, Uchiha Obito," Neji said faintly, leaning against a tree.
