Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Exchanging ninjutsu techniques...

To be honest, this is what he's most afraid of right now.

Chiba's learning and improvement progressed faster and faster, and he had been storing up Sage Chakra recently, so he hadn't been communicating effectively with the outside world at all.

Their knowledge level is still at the level it was a month ago.

If Konoha hadn't communicated with the outside world for half a month, it might have fallen behind, let alone a whole month.

He was under a lot of pressure.

but.

Since Chiba has already asked, and he needs Chiba's help, he can't refuse.

Kakashi's steps were heavy.

He went outside, looked around, and finally found a riverbank to give it a try.

"what should I do?"

"I'll create a shadow clone. Could you try using your eye technique on my shadow clone?"

"it is good."

Chapter 335 Black Zetsu: If only I had dug it back then!

2023-04-21

Kakashi pushed his headband up.

This is the second time he's used the Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities.

I originally intended to use it last time, but unfortunately, Chiba seemed to be able to handle it perfectly, so I didn't end up using it.

This time, the shadow clone experiment was conducted...

It’s actually a good choice.

Kakashi focused intently, and then began to extract and gather chakra and ocular power.

In the blink of an eye.

Where Chiba's shadow clone was located, a terrifying suction force, like a vortex, was born from his heart, and the suction force grew stronger the further in he went.

He did not resist.

In the blink of an eye.

That's too much of a coincidence.

This ability.

"Ah."

"How about it?"

Chiba said, "Although my shadow clone activated Sage Mode and tried to stabilize the space, it was still strangled."

"Is someone manipulating it?"

"Ah."

Kakashi nodded.

"Deal with him as you see fit, but one thing is certain: he definitely knows how to use those clones, or rather..."

Kakashi's expression turned serious.

Kakashi opened his mouth, then sat down silently.

Chiba paused for a second, "Back then, Madara Uchiha used those clones to help Obito prolong his life, allowing him to survive even after losing half of his body in the collapse."

"Kakashi-sensei, well, I'm glad you're okay with it. I don't really know how else to say it."

Chiba opened his eyes and couldn't help but frown.

A stable space may not be impossible to achieve.

The shadow clone was absorbed by Kamui and entered the space-time tunnel.

He didn't know what to say.

After a long while, Kakashi sighed and said, "In any case, using Obito as the hypothetical enemy is definitely the most suitable for the current situation. Let's follow this deduction."

It's impossible to prepare in advance.

Chiba's explanation is the only possibility.

Kakashi was using his eye technique, and Obito was able to sense it to some extent. Either Obito happened to be in another dimension, so he noticed Kakashi's presence immediately.

Clearly, someone is manipulating things behind the scenes; the possibility of it being a coincidence is too low.

in the forest.

"We did enter a spacetime tunnel, but I don't know if it was the effect of the eye technique or if someone used another technique. In any case, we encountered a spatial storm before we even reached the end of the spacetime tunnel."

Chiba's shadow clone moved rapidly inwards, and just as it was about to reach the end of a spatial passage, a sudden spatial storm appeared and tore it apart.

Chiba wanted to comfort him, but after thinking about it, he realized that Kakashi didn't need his comfort at all.

If it were anyone else, they might be helpless against a spatial storm, but once Chiba's shadow clones entered Sage Mode, they could directly use Flying Thunder God Technique to travel through time...

At that time, Obito had not even awakened his Sharingan and had always been the worst in his clan. How could he possibly have come into contact with Izanagi, a forbidden technique?

It seems...

He sat under the tree, reminiscing about the past, and said, "Chiba, if he were Obito, what do you think we should do to him?"

but.

Kakashi understood the reasoning.

Chiba nodded, but didn't force Kakashi to believe that the other person was Obito, since he didn't have any evidence and it was all just speculation at the moment.

He just can't accept it right now.

He was silent for a few seconds, then forced a smile and said, "Perhaps this is what this ability is like..."

Chiba failed and was strangled with almost no ability to resist.

Kakashi nodded silently.

The next moment——

after all.

Madara might have been able to avoid a fatal battle through Izanagi, but Obito would never have survived using Izanagi.

Kakashi pondered for a long time before saying, "I've thought of a problem."

"Ok?"

"Is the Mangekyou Sharingan something that one person awakens along with the other? For example, my Kamui, which is clearly a spacetime ability, is it possible that if I awaken it, the other one will also awaken it?"

"Unlikely."

Chiba shook his head.

Kakashi thought for a moment. Chiba had mentioned the principles of the Mangekyou Sharingan before. According to those theories…

He nodded slightly.

That's really unlikely.

So to say.

"He was right there at the time."

Kakashi stated confidently, "When I killed Rin, Obito was right next to me. Those Hidden Mist ninja didn't go back; they were killed instead."

"He was in charge of Kirigakure for many years, so the evidence must have been destroyed. Moreover, the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure at that time might have been manipulated."

Chiba said calmly.

Kakashi paused for a moment, then a flash of inspiration struck him.

"You mean Lin? That's right! She insisted I kill her because she couldn't control herself!"

"It must be some kind of restriction."

"Could Obito also have some kind of restriction on him?"

"..."

Chiba remained silent.

Even if Kakashi said that, he might not believe it.

but.

After a while, he finally spoke.

"It's possible, but it's not necessarily to force Obito to do what he says. It's more likely that it's a hidden measure to ensure that Obito can still complete the plan even if he doesn't follow it."

Chiba said, "The ability to control restrictions is relatively rigid, and it is impossible to make the controlled person act according to their own will."

"Too."

Kakashi sat down again.

He thought of Lin.

Now, working backward, Lin was clearly under a spell, which prevented her from committing suicide and from controlling herself, but she still had her own thoughts.

If Obito is the same...

At least his thinking wouldn't be like that.

This is proof enough.

If Madara's successor is Obito, then at least from the night of the Nine-Tails, Obito must have already approved of Madara's plan.

otherwise.

When facing Minato Namikaze and Kushina, he was at least able to use words to remind Minato to stop him.
