Chapter 75: Broken Obito
Uchiha Obito felt that he was being a bit suppressed.
It was true that he was involved in tonight's events, but the problem was that so many people from the Ninja Clans had come, and Uchiha Itachi was still killing on the other side.
That bastard Hyuga Makoto didn't go to find trouble with Uchiha Itachi, but instead came to the Police Force to find trouble with him?
"Is this bastard treating me like a soft persimmon?"
Suddenly, such a thought popped into Obito's head.
Recalling the mockery this guy had once thrown at him, he almost laughed out of anger!
"Do you really think the Byakugan has me all figured out!?"
"At least against you, it's enough."
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, and Hyuga Makoto's figure appeared before Obito's eyes.
At that moment, several Anbu quickly appeared, taking up battle stances and shielding Uchiha Izumi behind them.
"Humph, I admit I've made mistakes out of carelessness before, but do you think you can deal with me?"
Seeing this, a look of disdain appeared on Obito's face.
"Besides, your Konoha is as late as ever. The people of the Police Force are already dead; you're too late!"
""
"
Hyuga Makoto froze for a moment upon hearing this, his expression behind the mask turning somewhat strange.
Not just him, but the other Anbu also looked at each other.
Late?
Isn't this just perfect?
Only Uchiha Izumi's body trembled slightly; this guy's words seemed to confirm something!
"But since you're here, let's settle the score from last time."
Obito rubbed his shoulder, and iron chains appeared in his hands once again.
He looked indifferently at the group of Anbu, especially Hyuga Makoto, with a predatory glint in his eyes.
"I was careless before, but you won't be so lucky this time!"
His previous failure had truly annoyed him to the extreme.
He never expected the Byakugan to see through his physical state switching, nor did he anticipate Hyuga Makoto would be so fierce after activating that mysterious cursed seal!
With a lack of intelligence and his abilities being countered, he had to admit he had suffered a great loss.
But he didn't think he would be helpless against a mere member of the Hyuga branch family!
Even if this kid was indeed unusual—
"Even when facing the Village's elite Anbu, are you going to continue stalling for time for Uchiha Itachi?"
Hyuga Makoto raised an eyebrow and let out a cold snort.
"Take her away and reinforce the other side. This guy isn't even afraid of the Anbu; he's clearly no ordinary thug, so..."
"
Hum—
In an instant, Hyuga Makoto's Chakra surged through his entire body, and his figure suddenly charged out.
In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Obito, throwing a punch reinforced with fierce Chakra.
"I need to go all out!"
Boom! An ear-splitting roar instantly erupted, and thick smoke once again spread in all directions.
The Anbu Ninjas looked at each other and quickly left the area with Uchiha Izumi.
Hyuga Makoto wasn't their captain, but before coming here, the Third Hokage had already instructed them that everything here was to follow Hyuga Makoto's lead!
"Simply a futile effort."
Uchiha Obito stood his ground, letting out a cold laugh as he watched Hyuga Makoto's attack.
"You want them to leave to avoid being a burden? But have you considered that their departure is actually my opportunity!"
"Oh?"
Hyuga Makoto raised an eyebrow, but Obito immediately leaped backward.
He rapidly opened up distance from Hyuga Makoto, raising a single hand at the same time.
"Wood Release: Cutting Technique."
Instantly, sharp vines pierced through the air toward Hyuga Makoto!
Seeing this, Hyuga Makoto quickly dodged, understanding Obito's intention.
"Not bad, you're starting to use your brain..."
"
As long as Obito has no desire to attack, normally no one can hit him.
Having suffered a major loss last time, he knew that getting close would result in being heavily struck by Hyuga Makoto, so he actively maintained his distance.
"I have to admit, as a Hyuga, your Taijutsu is indeed impressive, but..."
"
Obito didn't care that his strike missed; he quickly used Kamui to put more distance between them while simultaneously forming hand signs.
"You are still just a Hyuga. No matter how strong your Taijutsu is, your upper limit was locked long ago!"
Bang—
Countless more vines erupted from the ground, coiling toward Hyuga Makoto.
These vines were extremely thick; it was clear Obito had put some effort into them!
"I have to say, you really have made some progress."
Hyuga Makoto chuckled softly, but these vines weren't enough to impress him.
With a wave of his hands, he instantly shattered the vines.
He looked up at the distant Obito, a slight smile appearing under his mask.
"However, you underestimate me too much, and I've more or less seen through your abilities."
"Is that so?"
Obito snorted, his hands still forming signs.
"Even if your Byakugan has seen through it, what can you do!"
Hum! In an instant, countless vines erupted from the ground once more, all of them covered in sharp barbs!
Whether influenced by Kamui or not, they twisted and coiled continuously, eventually gathering into a massive tree.
And the center of that tree was exactly where Hyuga Makoto stood!
"You really are confident..."
"
Hyuga Makoto shook his head gently; the design of the Anbu mask was truly excellent.
From start to finish, Obito hadn't realized that the eyes behind the mask weren't the Byakugan at all, but the Tenseigan shimmering with a golden luster!
"Being overconfident will be the death of you."
Boom! Hyuga Makoto suddenly struck out, and the massive tree that hadn't fully solidified was directly smashed to pieces by him!
Moreover, a visible shockwave surged toward Obito the moment the tree shattered.
"Hmm?"
Obito's expression changed slightly; because he was in a physical state to perform Ninjutsu, he had to leap into the air.
As he jumped, he instinctively activated Kamui, and at that moment, a massive explosion erupted at his original position!
He watched as a huge crater appeared in the ground, with spider-web-like cracks spreading outward.
This scene caused him to break into a cold sweat, and what terrified him even more was Hyuga Makoto's voice sounding again.
"I am indeed a Hyuga, but..."
"
Looking up sharply, Hyuga Makoto was already closing in on him!
"Why did you think you could restrain me with Ninjutsu?"
"Damn it!"
Obito cursed inwardly; even if he entered his Kamui state, he was unwilling to let Hyuga Makoto get close!
He quickly sealed himself entirely within the Kamui Dimension, while rapidly retreating backward.
However, he inexplicably felt as though he was still being watched by Hyuga Makoto, even inside Kamui!
"What is going on with this guy?"
Obito couldn't understand; when he closed off the Kamui Dimension, he couldn't see the outside.
Just like in the future after he absorbed Kakashi, he wouldn't be able to see what Kakashi was doing inside.
After relying on his intuition to pull back to a safe distance, he slowly emerged, only to be met with the unbelievable sight of Hyuga Makoto right in front of him!
"Hiss!"
Obito gasped at the sight; how did this person appear here like a ghost?
And how did he know he would move in this direction?!
"I told you, I've already seen through your technique."
Hyuga Makoto remained calm, his voice even carrying a hint of amusement.
"You use a Different Dimension to transfer yourself. Last time you even wanted to absorb me into your space, but unfortunately, I memorized that Chakra fluctuation last time."
"Memorized the Chakra fluctuation?"
Obito was filled with bewilderment; was that even something one could memorize?
But Hyuga Makoto didn't give him a chance to speak, instead assuming an attacking stance while speaking leisurely.
"Your weakness is also very clear: the moment you attack, you become physical, even when using Ninjutsu. Of course, you could just keep stalling like this, but..."
"
Hyuga Makoto paused for a moment, his tone becoming somewhat mocking.
"Do you want to be a rat hiding in the Sewer your whole life, achieving nothing and finally dying while hooked up to a catheter, or crawl out of the Sewer and face everything bravely, finally leaving your name in history?"
"...
"
Obito didn't speak, but that feeling of rage from that night seemed to have returned!
But Hyuga Makoto had no intention of letting him go, continuing his relentless chatter.
"Also, I haven't finished my question from last time. Your Sharingan is in your right eye, and Captain Kakashi's Sharingan is in his left eye. Is that a coincidence?"
"..."
"Your fundamentals are so poor, and I heard Captain Kakashi had a teammate who was not only an Uchiha but also a dead last."
"Shut up..."
"
"And you just said 'Konoha likes to be late.' I recall the Fourth Hokage was once late, which led to the death of that Uchiha member."
"I told you to shut up..."
"
"So, could it be that you are..."
"
"Go to hell, you damn brat!"
Obito truly couldn't hold it together anymore. Even though Hyuga Makoto hadn't struck him physically, it felt as though he had shattered both his mask and his heart!
What terrified and confused him even more was that even Minato Namikaze hadn't recognized him back then, which had allowed him to walk this path completely.
Why, how, was it this Hyuga brat who saw the problem and figured it out?
"Wood Release: Hellish Melee!"
In his extreme rage, Obito unhesitatingly used Wood Release again, and this was his most powerful Wood Release technique currently.
Under the roar of his Chakra, several massive trees instantly erupted from the ground, their vast range immediately covering the entire Police Force building!
The building that once held the pride of the Uchiha collapsed with a crash at this moment, yet the trees did not stop.
They continued to twist and coil, merging into a single, true giant tree!
This massive tree also separated Hyuga Makoto and Obito, which immediately gave Obito an opportunity.
"No matter how strong you are, this is the end for you!"
Obito rapidly retreated, squeezing the Chakra within his body to complete the hand signs.
"Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance!"
With the enhancement of Kamui, a vortex-like Wind carrying spinning fire instantly formed a massive rotating flame.
And Obito's continuously erupting Chakra turned this flame into a sea of fire, igniting the giant tree in an instant!
The raging fire seemed to light up the sky, and the entire ground, including the ruins of the Police Force, burned frantically.
"Damn guy..."
"
After doing all this, Obito was somewhat breathless, but he stared coldly at the frantically burning flames.
After a long while, seeing no movement, he couldn't help but speak gloomily.
"As a Hyuga, disappearing along with your secrets and the former pride of the Uchiha is truly ironic..."
"
Despite his words, he himself wasn't certain if Hyuga Makoto was dead or not.
But he didn't dare to gamble; he immediately reactivated Kamui to enter his dimension.
Furthermore, he was unwilling to stay here any longer; he still needed to check on Uchiha Itachi's situation.
"Kamui has slowed down; it seems the consumption just now was truly a bit too much..."
"
Feeling his condition, Obito was also somewhat depressed, even though he only needed a short rest to recover.
But the consumption this time was indeed substantial!
"Hmm?!"
Just then, several Kunai suddenly pierced through the flames, reaching him in an instant.
At the same time, Hyuga Makoto's figure also charged through the flames, following right behind the Kunai!
"Damn it..."
""
Obito cursed his bad luck; with only one eye, he needed a lead time to transfer himself.
Now, with his excessive consumption, his transfer speed had slowed down, making it likely he'd be hit by the Kunai.
But he didn't dare to dodge, because that bastard Hyuga Makoto was right on his heels!
"I absolutely cannot give that guy the slightest chance..."
"
Obito stood his ground, watching as the Kunai pierced into his body, and in the next instant, Hyuga Makoto's punch arrived!
Hum! That punch, carrying a powerful Wind, ruthlessly struck through Obito's head!
But Obito, with the Kunai still stuck in him, had already entered the Kamui Dimension.
"Quick reaction."
Hyuga Makoto didn't care that his strike missed; the amusement in his voice even grew stronger.
"Actually, did you know? From the moment I started fighting you, I had three ways to deal with you. A full three ways!"
"What a joke..."
"
Obito let out a disdainful cold laugh, but in his heart, he felt a cold sweat breaking out.
If he had been even a second slower just now, his head might have actually been blown apart.
As for the ability to deal with him, he was truly dismissive!
However, as Hyuga Makoto spoke, his expression shifted slightly.
"The first way: any technique has a time limit."
Hyuga Makoto's smile remained as he spoke softly.
"You are no exception. Based on Chakra fluctuations, your technique probably ends once every five minutes, right?"
"...
"
Obito didn't speak, but he was feeling somewhat panicked.
He himself didn't know what Chakra fluctuations Kamui had; how did this guy know?!
"Second, you've already tasted it: whenever you attack, that is my point of attack."
Hyuga Makoto suddenly backed away, looking gloomily at Obito.
"Not bad this time, you didn't give me an opportunity. So, the third way..."
"
At this point, Hyuga Makoto paused, and Obito vaguely sensed something was wrong.
He suddenly looked down at the Kunai on his body, and one of them had actually disappeared!
Hyuga Makoto's voice slowly rose.
"If someone enters your Different Dimension and attacks your physical body, what will happen to you?"
"You..."
"
The face under Obito's mask turned white instantly, but before he could even finish a sentence, his body began to distort.
Immediately after, firelight flared, and in the next instant, a massive roar suddenly exploded inside his body!
Obito's figure seemed to be torn apart at that moment, the immense pain causing him to let out an involuntary wail.
"Did you really think I wouldn't make any preparations?"
While Obito was wailing, Hyuga Makoto was smiling brilliantly.
"You bastard, you owe me quite a lot of money..."
