Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

Seeing that his opponent stood there like a wooden statue, young Obito immediately formed hand seals to test him: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

They are not yet prepared to deal with the masked man, and Obito is already planning to use "Izanagi" to escape.

After all, this is the masked man, a figure who can influence the entire ninja world.

Do they really have a chance to face him at this moment?

Obito harbored doubts.

This question also arose in the minds of all the Dawn members present who were carrying out the mission.

A massive fireball hurtled toward the masked man.

"Shh!"

The fireball pierced through Masked Obito's body and slammed into the rock wall behind him.

"A boring trick."

Masked Obito forcibly suppressed the turbulent waves surging in his heart, trying his best to maintain the cold and hoarse voice of "Uchiha Madara," but if you listened carefully, you could still hear that extremely subtle tremor.

He took a deep look at the "himself" with a face full of anger, and then at "Lin" who was still standing there alive.

"Uchiha Tsuki, stop your clumsy probing. Do you think you can sway my will by creating a few fake undead?"

Masked Obito snorted coldly, not daring to linger for even a second longer, and instantly activated Kamui in his right eye at full power!

"I have no interest in even making a move against such a ridiculous illusion."

With a distortion of space, Obito's masked figure was swiftly and cleanly sucked into the Kamui dimension, disappearing completely into the cavern.

"what?"

The young Obito was stunned. He turned his head to look at Kakashi and Rin with his hands raised in hand seals, completely bewildered.

The panic I felt at the sudden appearance of the masked man vanished completely.

"That guy... actually ran away? After uttering some incomprehensible threats, he was scared away by my Fireball Jutsu?"

Kakashi frowned as well.

This isn't right.

A mastermind who could control the Water Shadow as a puppet, didn't even dare to test the waters against these kids, and fled in panic.

“He just mentioned Yue-senpai…” Nagato’s purple Rinnegan flickered slightly. “Could it be that he thought Yue-senpai was here?”

“In any case, this shows that the masked man was extremely wary of Senior Yue.” Yahiko stroked his chin and analyzed, “He thought it was a trap, so he ran away. So his strength might not be as terrifying as we thought.”

"So, should we go for the big boobs?"

Chapter 152 Masked Obito: I'll prove I'm right!

The Land of Water, on a desolate reef far from the Hidden Mist Village.

Ripples spread through the space, and the masked Obito stumbled out from within them.

He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently, his single eye fixed on the surging waves around him, his nerves still taut to the limit.

"Absolutely!" Obito shouted sharply.

"Hey, Obito, how come you're back so soon? Didn't you kill those brats?" White Zetsu emerged from a crevice in the reef, looking curious.

"Investigate immediately!"

Obito grabbed White Zetsu by the collar, his voice distorted with extreme agitation: "Where are Uchiha Tsuki and that girl in red right now?"

White Zetsu, feeling dizzy from the shaking, quickly said, "No need to investigate, Obito! Black Zetsu sent word that Uchiha Tsuki and that girl named Hikari are currently holding a press conference in Rouran. Orochimaru and Sasori of the Red Sand are also there. They haven't left the desert at all!"

"What...what did you say?"

Obito suddenly loosened his grip on White Zetsu's hand.

"Uchiha Tsukuyomi...is not in the Land of Water?"

"Yeah, those troublemakers were acting entirely on their own." White Zetsu rubbed his neck, looking at Obito with a somewhat innocent expression. "Hey Obito, you weren't scared away by those kids, were you?"

Upon hearing the definitive information about White Zetsu, Obito was struck dumb.

Uchiha Yue is not here!

No traps! No ambushes!

what does this mean?

This means that what he just saw in the underground cavern was not an illusion created by Yin Release at all!

That's a living, breathing person! A flesh-and-blood individual with their own chakra!

That idiot wearing goggles and yelling that he wanted to be Hokage, it really was him!

Kakashi, whose left eye is perfectly intact and who always has a dead fish-like expression, is also real!

And that girl standing beside them, with a gentle smile, who would shield Xiao Nan with her body...

Lin might actually still be alive!

"How is this possible... How is this possible..."

Obito staggered back two steps and fell hard onto the cold reef.

His mind was in unprecedented chaos.

He witnessed Rin collide with Kakashi's Chidori, a scene that became an unhealable wound in his heart. It was also the only obsession that led him to abandon the name "Uchiha Obito," don the mask, transform into a demon, and vow to create the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" dream!

Because this world is hell, because Lin doesn't exist in this world!

So he wants to destroy this false world!

But now, a living, breathing Lin is standing right in front of him.

There is even a "past self" who has not experienced that despair but is still full of passion.

"Uchiha Tsuki... what exactly did he do? Did he revive his past self? Just to change me?"

Obito's eyes gradually became bloodshot.

He reached out, his hand trembling, trying to remove the mask from his face.

However, just a fraction of a second before my fingertips touched the cold mask...

Obito's hand suddenly stopped.

He slowly lowered his hand, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath of the cold air that smelled of the sea.

When he opened his eyes again, the chaos and weakness in his single eye had vanished, replaced by an extreme obsession that was even more impenetrable than the darkness of night!

"My will actually wavered for a moment."

Obito stood up, letting the wind whip his black robes, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Uchiha Tsuki, you are indeed amazing. You actually came up with such a method to influence my mind."

But who is he?

He is the successor to Madara Uchiha's will! He is the overthrower of the old era's ninja society.

"Do you think that creating these few perfect replicas or resurrected entities will save anything? No... Yue, you've only proven the absurdity and patheticness of this world!"

Obito clenched his fists tightly, his nails piercing his palms.

"This world is still hell!"

"Those so-called bonds and happiness are nothing but lies built on forbidden techniques you are unaware of!"

"As long as we live in this world full of self-interest, as long as chakra and the ninja village system exist, tragedy will surely happen again! That naive 'me' will sooner or later face the despair of having my heart torn apart!"

He has seen through it all.

The "miracle" created by Uchiha Yue is still a minor feat, still within the framework of this hopeless reality!

What Obito wants to do is to overturn the entire chessboard!

"Only the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi,' only by creating a perfect dream world without death, without war, and where there is never loss, can this world be truly redeemed!"

"I will never stop because of your ridiculous and perverse sense of humor!"

Obito turned around, and behind him, the waves crashed wildly against the rocks in the gale.

He recalled the boy wearing goggles pointing at him and shouting that he would "save the world" in the cave.

"How naive and foolish I was..."

Obito's voice turned chilling: "Zetsu! Notify the Fourth Mizukage, and summon the remnants of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

"I will personally lead the team to bury that rebel army... and that foolish me, completely in the blood mist!"

"I want him to see with his own eyes how utterly pathetic my ridiculous 'passion' is in the face of this cruel reality! I want to prove to Uchiha Tsuki that only my path is the only truth!"

……

Meanwhile, at the Misty Reef rebel underground base.

The atmosphere inside the temporary command post was somewhat oppressive.

“Wait a minute, there’s a fatal flaw in our previous assumption.” Yahiko suddenly slammed his hand on the stone table, his brows furrowing deeply. “We have no idea where the masked man is?”

Kakashi sheathed the lightning sword back into his waistband, somewhat speechless.

But he continued along Yahiko's train of thought:

"But there is one person who is the absolute core tool for the masked man to maintain his rule in the 'Village of Blood Mist,' and he cannot escape; he must remain in the open."

Obito realized what was happening: "You mean... the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi?"

Just as the group was preparing to discuss how to infiltrate the heavily guarded Water Shadow Building...

"Splash!"

Suddenly, a splash appeared in an underground river passage in the corner of the base, and a brown-haired boy with two water plants on his head and soaking wet climbed out of the water like a mud monkey.

"Ptooey! This ditch is so smelly and salty!"

Senju Nawaki wrung out the mud and water from his clothes while complaining loudly.

Seeing Nawaki's miserable state, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan were all stunned.
