Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

The land of rain.

"Damn it!"

Obito Uchiha groaned, his arms went numb, and he almost collapsed to his knees.

He relied too much on Shenwei.

For the past ten years or so, his first reaction to any attack has been to become ethereal and dodge.

Now that his ethereal abilities have failed, he is completely unable to adapt to this kind of close-quarters combat where every punch lands.

And what about Kakashi?

He didn't give Obito a chance to catch his breath.

The white dagger transformed into deadly streaks of silver light, each strike aimed directly at Obito's vital points, yet at crucial moments it restrained some of its power.

Kakashi didn't want to kill Obito.

He wanted to capture his former best friend alive and bring him back to Konoha to face trial.

Obito was forced to retreat under Kakashi's attacks, and more than a dozen bloody wounds appeared on his body.

humiliation.

anger.

Obito could clearly sense that Kakashi was holding back!

This condescending pity, like a poisonous thorn, pierced Obito's heart.

"Kakashi!"

"You think you've already won?!"

Obito Uchiha roared hysterically.

Looking into Kakashi's calm and unwavering eyes, a vicious plan suddenly formed in his mind.

He wants to completely break down Kakashi's psychological defenses!

A sudden clap of thunder.

Kakashi's right hand gathered dazzling lightning.

Chidori!

Kakashi spotted an opening in Obito's defenses, his figure transforming into a streak of blue lightning as he hurtled towards Obito's right shoulder.

This attack would be enough to cripple Obito's fighting ability, but it would not be fatal.

Looking at the incoming lightning.

Obito Uchiha advanced instead of retreating.

Just as the Thousand Birds were about to strike his right shoulder...

Obito suddenly twisted his body, presenting his left chest to Kakashi's palm.

puff!

The dull thud of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out.

Kakashi's right hand, crackling with lightning, pierced through Obito's heart without any resistance.

Fresh blood spurted out like a fountain.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Kakashi froze on the spot.

He stared blankly at his right hand, which had pierced through Obito's chest.

Tick.

Tick.

This scene.

This feel.

This sound.

The nightmares of the past engulfed Kakashi like a tsunami.

Back then, Lin also deliberately bumped into his Raikiri in the same way.

That day, he personally killed the comrade he had sworn to protect.

"Lin..."

Kakashi's pupils contracted violently.

His Sharingan in his left eye even briefly became blurred due to the intense emotional fluctuations.

His hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

That's a post-traumatic stress disorder etched into your bones.

Blood oozed from the corner of Obito Uchiha's mouth.

He gripped Kakashi's arm tightly, ignoring the excruciating pain of his chest being pierced, and brought his face close to Kakashi's.

He spoke in an extremely weak yet piercing voice.

"Kakashi..."

"You...killed me again."

"Like..."

"Just like you did back then... kill Lin."

boom!

These words were like a heavy hammer blow, shattering Kakashi's last shred of reason.

Kakashi's breathing became rapid, and a large amount of cold sweat poured from his forehead.

He instinctively tried to pull his hand away, but Obito held it tightly.

Why...?

"Obito...why...?"

Kakashi's voice was terribly hoarse, and he was in a state of extreme confusion.

At the very moment when Kakashi's mind completely collapsed.

A strange, cold smile suddenly appeared on Obito's blood-covered face.

next second.

Obito's body, pierced by the Lightning Blade, rapidly became illusory, like a faded painting.

Izanagi!

The ultimate forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan!

As the executor of Project Eye of the Moon.

Besides the Kamui Kaleidoscope.

Obito Uchiha always had a three-tomoe Sharingan in his left eye socket.

All for this one moment of life-saving!

Obito's corpse vanished in front of them, turning into nothingness.

Obito's true form appeared in Kakashi's blind spot—directly behind him!

"Die, Kakashi!"

"Go to that world where Rin is and repent!"

Obito held a sharp, black rod in his hand and stabbed it hard into Kakashi's back!

This strike was swift, accurate, and ruthless!

Indeed.

He took advantage of Kakashi's weakness and his guilt towards Rin.

But this is Obito Uchiha's victory!

however.

The expected sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh did not occur.

when!

A crisp, piercing metallic clang resounded inside the tower.

Obito's hands, which were gripping the black rod, went numb from the shock.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Kakashi had turned around at some point, and his White Fang short blade had blocked the deadly black rod.

Kakashi lowered his head, his bangs obscuring his eyes.

Obito could even see the bulging veins on the back of Kakashi's hand as he gripped the sword.

"How is that possible?"

Obito Uchiha cried out in shock.

He clearly saw that Kakashi had completely broken down!

That look in his eyes, that reaction—it couldn't possibly be acting!

"Izanagi."

Kakashi's voice rang out.

There was no emotional fluctuation whatsoever; the calmness was frightening.

"Transform the harm suffered by the caster, including death and other adverse factors, into a dream."

"The price is that the Sharingan that cast the technique will forever lose its sight."

"Obito".

"As the head of Konoha's Anbu."

"Do you think I wouldn't know about the Uchiha clan's forbidden techniques?"

Kakashi slowly raised his head.

His left Sharingan was now emitting an unprecedented crimson light.

without crashing.

There were no tears.

All that's there is is extreme anger that makes you feel like you've fallen into an ice cave!

Just a moment ago.

Kakashi was indeed reminded of his most painful memories.

But at the moment the black stick stabbed at him.

Kakashi's fighting instincts as the head of the Anbu overcame his psychological trauma.

more importantly.

When Kakashi realized...

When Obito deliberately imitated the scene of Rin's death, using Rin's death as bait to scheme against himself.

Kakashi's last bit of affection for Obito vanished completely.

"You actually..."

"You actually used Lin's death as a tactic for your sneak attack?!"

"Obito, you don't deserve the name Tirin!"

"You no longer deserve to be called a human being!"

boom!

Kakashi's chakra erupted like a volcano.

The violent lightning chakra spread along the White Fang short blade, instantly knocking away the black rod in Obito's hand.

Obito was shocked and tried to retreat.

But Kakashi is faster than him!

Stab it!

A bolt of lightning, interwoven with silver and blue, ripped through the air.

Obito let out a piercing scream.

His entire right arm was severed by Kakashi Zigan!

Blood spurted wildly.

Obito lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.

He endured the excruciating pain and swiftly reached for his ninja tool pouch with his left hand, attempting a final, desperate struggle.

boom!

Kakashi stepped on Obito's chest.

A tremendous force stomped and broke two of Obito's ribs.

Obito suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, completely losing the ability to resist.

Kakashi looked down at Obito.

The lingering attachments of the past were gone from his eyes, replaced only by the cold indifference one would show towards an extremely dangerous prisoner.

"It's over, Obito."

Kakashi bent down, grabbed Obito's hair, and pulled him up.

next moment.

His two fingers ruthlessly stabbed into Obito's right eye socket.

puff!

Blood splattered.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh!"

Obito let out a heart-wrenching scream, his body convulsing violently as if electrocuted.

Kakashi withdrew his hand expressionlessly.

His fingertips were pinching a Mangekyou Sharingan stained with blood.

Obito clutched his empty right eye socket, writhing on the ground in pain.

The Kamui Kaleidoscope was lost.

They lost Black Zetsu's help.

At this moment, Obito Uchiha had truly become a useless cripple who posed no threat whatsoever.

Then.

Kakashi took out a pair of specially made chakra-sealing handcuffs and tightly handcuffed Obito's hands.

After doing all this.

Kakashi turned around, walked to Chiba, and knelt on one knee.

"Lord Hokage."

"Obito Uchiha has been completely subdued, and his Mangekyou Sharingan has been stripped away."

Chiba looked at Obito, who was lying on the ground like a rag doll, and then at Kakashi, whose face was cold.

"Well done, Kakashi."

"Send the order to all the armies at the front."

"All obstacles to unification have been removed."

Within three days.

"I want to see the entire ninja world covered with Konoha's flags!"

"..."
