From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 165 Acquiring the Dual Divine Might

A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and a terrifying shockwave spread outwards.

The shockwaves rose and fell like the tides, one after another, uprooting trees within a radius of nearly a hundred meters, sending sand and stones flying and dust billowing.

The aftershocks of the explosion lasted for nearly half a minute before gradually subsiding.

Once again, Fugaku, who had miraculously survived, got up from the ground covered in dust. Looking at the dust that filled the air, his heart sank, and he shouted, "Is anyone still alive?"

But all he received in response was deathly silence.

Fugaku, refusing to believe it, shouted a few more times, until his voice was almost hoarse, but still no one answered him.

Are they all dead?!

The thought of this possibility sent a chill down Fugaku's spine, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

These are all the young and strong members of his Uchiha clan. If they die in such a muddled way, how will he explain it to his clan when he goes back?
"Chief Fugaku, cough cough"

Just then, a figure emerged from the thick smoke.

Fugaku's heart skipped a beat, and a glimmer of hope emerged from his despair. He eagerly looked in the direction of the sound.

Even if it's just one person, it would be good if just one survived!

Unfortunately, the person who emerged from the thick fog was not any member of the Uchiha clan, but rather Ryoma Aburame.

In a mere second, Fugaku experienced a dramatic fall from heaven to hell, a profound sense of despair.

"Chief Fugaku, pull yourself together!" Ryoma Aburame, who had narrowly escaped death, was seething with anger. Seeing Fugaku's distraught state only fueled his rage. He violently grabbed Fugaku by the collar and roared, "This is no time for sentimentality! We must hurry back to warn the village!"

Now, it is no longer possible to stop the Cloud Ninja at the Kannabi Bridge.

They must hurry back to Konoha and report everything so the village can prepare in advance.

But at this moment, Fugaku was in a state of utter confusion and unable to calm down: "But...maybe there are others still alive."

boom!
Before he could finish speaking, he was punched in the face.

Ryoma Aburame was very disappointed. He had thought that as the leader of the Uchiha clan, he would have some sense of the big picture, but now it seemed that he was no match for them at all. No wonder even Danzo could make him run around like a puppet. His gaze gradually turned cold as he said, "Then you can stay here. I have to get back as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Ryoma Aburame ignored him and rushed out of the thick smoke alone. Chakra exploded from the soles of his feet, and in just a few seconds, he disappeared from sight.

Fugaku, who had just been punched in the face, suddenly realized what was happening.

If they stay behind, and the Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki catch up, they will still be doomed to die.

"Wait, wait for me!"

Fugaku dared not linger any longer and immediately got up to catch up with Aburame Ryoma.

Shortly after the two left, the space in the center of the Tailed Beast Ball explosion suddenly rippled violently, like a giant vortex.

Immediately afterwards, a boy staggered out of the spatial vortex.

"I'm alive?!"

The boy was none other than Uchiha Obito, his face still showing lingering fear as he gasped for breath.

Just as the Tailed Beast Ball exploded, he felt as if a string in his mind had snapped. Then, a surge of power, almost instinctively, distorted the space around him and pulled him into a black space.

When he came out again, he found that the Tailed Beast Ball explosion had ended, and he was alive and well.

"Oh my, oh my~ Is today my lucky day?"

Suddenly, a sly voice rang out from the billowing dust: "After waiting so long, the fruit is finally ripe!"

"Who?!"

Startled, Obito quickly drew his kunai and nervously looked in the direction of the sound.

"Don't be so nervous, little brother~"

As he spoke, a figure in pure white stepped out.

That thing was pure white all over, almost like a radish that had come to life. Except for two orange holes that looked like 'eyes', it couldn't be considered human no matter how you looked at it.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Bai Jue."

White Zetsu rubbed his chin, his gaze fixed on Obito's eyes, grinning to reveal a mouthful of white teeth: "Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought I'd see the legendary 'Mangekyou Sharingan' here."

"Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Obito paused slightly, a blank look on his face. "Oh, I almost forgot, judging by your age, you probably don't know about this."

White Zetsu grinned and explained to him, "The Mangekyou Sharingan is the strongest eye technique of the Uchiha clan. It is the ultimate power that can only be awakened by witnessing the death of one's beloved."

"Ouch! My eyes!"

Suddenly, his eyes felt like they were being pricked by needles, and Obito's vision blurred. Then, as if all his strength had been drained, he collapsed to the ground.

"I almost forgot to tell you, although the Mangekyou Sharingan is powerful, it also comes with huge risks."

White Zetsu deliberately spoke belatedly, "If you use it too frequently, not only will your body be unable to handle it, but you might even go blind~"

Obito was in so much pain he wanted to curse. Why didn't you say something so important sooner?!

"At such a young age, he has already awakened the Kaleidoscope."

Bai Jue walked over with a sly grin, squatted down in front of him, and carefully examined the eyes, clicking his tongue in disapproval: "What a pity, such beautiful eyes are about to disappear, it's really a shame."

"What do you mean?"

Obito, clutching his throbbing eyes, asked with difficulty.

"I estimate that the Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki should arrive in a few more minutes."

White Zetsu crouched beside him, a terrifying expression on his face: "Given your current condition, you'll probably only be able to use your eye techniques two or three more times before your stamina and chakra are exhausted, right? At that point..."

"Stop talking nonsense, what exactly do you want!"

Although Obito was usually simple-minded, he was by no means stupid. Moreover, with his life in danger, his mind was sharper than usual, and he immediately understood the meaning behind the other person's words.

"You're so smart, I like you more and more!"

White Zetsu patted his head, his fingers tracing Obito's cheek before finally stopping near his eye sockets. He grinned and said, "Such beautiful eyes, why don't you... give them to me?"

"What did you say?"

Obito's eyes widened in horror, and he was about to use his eye technique, even ignoring the excruciating pain.

But as soon as the space around him began to distort, White Zetsu made his move, faster than he had imagined. He suddenly exerted force with two fingers and pierced directly into the eye socket.

Blood spurted out, the distorted space instantly returned to normal, and the effects of the eye power immediately disappeared.

With a flick of his finger, Bai Jue pulled out the bloody right eye, and while it was still warm, he stuffed it back into his own eye socket.

After a slight movement, the right eye that originally belonged to Obito began to move within White Zetsu's eye.

“Ahhhhh——!”

The pain of having his eyeballs gouged out caused Obito to scream in agony.

"Don't scream, don't scream!"

Bai Jue straddled him, covering his mouth with one hand and touching his left eye with the other: "Be good~ don't struggle, it'll be quick, it'll be easy for you, and save me trouble!"

"Please, no, please don't!"

Obito struggled desperately, but with only his left eye remaining, he was unable to move himself into that black space.

"Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, it doesn't hurt at all!"

Bai Jue grinned, he had finally figured it out, and then he forcefully pried, dug, and lifted.

"Ahhh!"

With his left eye gouged out, Obito was plunged into complete darkness. He could clearly feel that his connection with the space had been severed!

The continuous blows caused him to faint.

"Hmm, now everything is complete!"

Bai Jue pressed his left eye shut and put his hands on his hips: "Finally, I don't have to follow this good-for-nothing anymore. Now I can go and report back to Lord Zongyue!"

Divine power!

Centered on his right eye, spacetime distorted, as if a giant vortex had formed.

The unconscious Obito was sucked into the vortex, followed by the White Zetsu, and the two quickly disappeared from the spot.

Going to work...it feels so painful, like I've crawled out of a grave.
