Revitalizing the Uchiha clan starts with becoming a Kage.

The senses spread rapidly.

That chakra fluctuation that was recaptured.

"You bastard! Kid, you've really angered me!"

The moment the headless corpse on the ground in front of Shoji completely disappeared, Obito's figure in a dark blue robe reappeared in Shoji's field of vision at a slightly distance distance. The only difference compared to before was that the spiral mask he originally wore was no longer there, revealing an ugly face with a half-scarred face. Most importantly, the three-tomoe Sharingan that appeared on his left eye was spinning rapidly before slowly closing.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Si's expression turned extremely ugly.

"The Izanagi Technique! How can it be practiced!"

This is also a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan, which sacrifices one Sharingan in exchange for the effect of 'temporary invincibility'!

In the original work, Obito's Kamui Technique's five-minute limit was effectively countered by Konan's "Tank Release," but Konan ultimately died at Obito's hands. The reason for this was that Obito had prepared Izanagi Technique in advance, which prevented Konan's "Tank Release" from truly threatening Obito!

This can be considered a forbidden technique that can reverse life and death. No matter who uses it, the result will be the same. In the original work, Sasuke truly killed Danzo only after all of Danzo's Sharingan eyes were completely blinded and shut down!

This is a spell that can only be theoretically broken (during the interval before the caster actually activates the spell, but it's almost impossible to do so).

Because it can only affect the caster and record the caster's physical state during the use of this technique, the destruction of the mask is irreparable.

This revealed his true identity, truly exposing Obito's lie that he was 'Uchiha Madara'.

At this moment, Shoji also showed a perfectly timed look of 'shock'. After all, Obito Uchiha was known as the 'good-natured loser' in their Uchiha clan. Most importantly, Shoji and Obito were contemporaries, and Shoji definitely knew Obito!

"You're Obito!?"

The deliberately raised volume clearly conveyed a sense of vibration.

At this moment, Obito also revealed an endless look of anger, as well as a trace of lingering fear. Of course, it wasn't entirely because he was recognized by Shoji. More so because if he hadn't listened to Black Zetsu's advice and prepared a Sharingan in advance for the use of Izanagi, he would have been truly dead under Shoji's attack!

Thinking of that outcome, Obito couldn't help but feel a chill of fear, and his whole body trembled subconsciously. He wasn't afraid of death, but he was worried about not being able to realize his dream. He could endure all kinds of pain, but the only thing he couldn't accept was a world without Rin!

'The Bisha Tenmon Technique!? This technique is truly troublesome! Is it a unique domain world belonging to him? Just like my Kamui!'

At close range, this is also the name of the technique that can be heard.

At this moment, Obito had to admit that there were indeed techniques in this world that could break his Kamui Technique. That technique was to use a space of almost the same nature to restrict his escape. It was just as terrifying as if he had dragged others into his Kamui space. He could receive endless information in that world called Bishatenmon, but he just couldn't do anything. This ironic sense of powerlessness made Obito never want to experience it again.

However, this technique certainly has its limitations, the most direct being the control of distance!

Even though it's slightly better than needing to touch others compared to one's own divine power.

However, the other side waited until they were close enough to make eye contact before using it. Although it's not certain, this is something that can be used to test the waters in the future!

That's right, Obito has made up his mind to retreat!

It wasn't just because of the threat posed by the Bishamonten technique, but also because through experiencing this technique, Obito could truly feel the immense and terrifying power of the Sharingan's eye power—a power that no ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan could possess.

Even without any evidence, and even though it seemed unbelievable, Obito was absolutely certain at that moment that Shoji's eyes were the same as Madara's—the second pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in the history of their Uchiha clan!

'Obito?'

When Black Zetsu reappeared and saw Obito's shattered mask and the closed three-tomoe Sharingan, he could roughly guess what had just happened. Although it seemed like a long time had passed in Shoji's domain, it was only a second in the real world!

From Black Zetsu's perspective, Obito broke through the outer defenses of Shoji's Susanoo, entered the interior of Susanoo, approached Shoji's position, and used Wood Release to bind Shoji.

Everything was completely turned upside down.

The general was completely unharmed.

Obito was forced to use the Izanagi technique!

It was obvious that Obito was severely injured at that moment, and it was very likely a genjutsu!

This is the 'truth' that Black Zetsu could guess.

'Is that guy's other unique eye technique? If it forced Obito to use Izanagi to evade it, then it must be an extremely powerful eye technique, and its eye power must surpass Obito's. Could this guy's eyes really be the Eternal Eye!?'

Hei Jue looked at Jiang Si not far away, and a solemn expression, like that of a human, appeared on his face.

"Absolutely, they've retreated!"

The attack has ended.

Until they reappear.

In less than a second or two.

The different thoughts that flowed through the minds of the three individuals.

Obito did not hesitate at all. The moment he was 'resurrected' and appeared, he took one last deep look at Shoji before his body twisted and the spatial ripples that followed.

While seemingly uttering a harsh threat to Jiang Si, vowing to fight him to the death, he ultimately chose to follow his heart. After saying those words to Hei Zetsu, his figure completely dissipated, entering his own unique Kamui space and leaving the original spot.

Black Zetsu, after Obito decided to retreat, felt relieved and quickly sank into the ground to escape the area.

It was also in the last second before Obito and Black Zetsu left.

"boom!"

A dazzling light suddenly struck the location where the two were standing.

"Shh!"

Amidst the billowing dust and the exploding waves, as the smoke dissipated, Jiang Si's upright figure appeared on the ground, but at this moment, the expression reflected in Jiang Si's pupils was so gloomy.

He thought he had killed Obito, but to his surprise, Obito escaped this fatal attack using the Izanagi technique!

The dramatic psychological gap that occurred before and after.

Jiang Si's expression at that moment must have been incredibly ugly.

"Damn it, did that guy still get away?!"

Shoji took a deep breath and said with a very angry expression, "I have patiently waited for the best opportunity, but I still failed to kill Obito. Just as Obito would not expect to win over Shoji after this battle, Shoji never thought of persuading Obito or even Madara."

There's a saying that goes, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."

The reason why Naruto's talk-no-jutsu could whitewash Nagato and Obito in the original work (actually, it's just the protagonist's halo!) is that the three of them are essentially the same type of person, true naive idealists!

Weren't Obito and Nagato, in their youth, also sunny boys like Naruto, hoping for mutual understanding and a path to peace for the world? Even rebellious Madara was influenced by Hashirama.

Ultimately, these people are all the same in essence!

Therefore, they can empathize with each other and resonate with each other. But it's different with Tsukasa. He originally despised the actions of these people, including the protagonist Naruto. Tsukasa admires Naruto's tenacity and lofty ideals, but he will never approve of his actions.

Because that is an impossible future.

A world of mutual understanding? Don't be ridiculous. It's possible in a dream, but that's also the choice Madara and Obito made after going to extremes.

Therefore, it's impossible for Shoji to persuade them, and Obito and Nagato are also unlikely to be persuaded by Shoji. Killing these people is the best option.

That's exactly what General Si did!

The moment Obito's trail was discovered, Shoji made up his mind, along with Black Zetsu who had followed him.

Shoji's plan was to deal with Obito and then use the Totsuka Blade, which appeared in his Susanoo at some unknown time, to try to seal Black Zetsu as much as possible!

Before he had obtained the power of the Six Paths.

The Totsuka Sword is the only method that Shoji uses to deal with Black Zetsu.

That's right. In the original work, the Totsuka Blade was born alongside Itachi's Susanoo. Another artifact of the Uchiha clan, the Yata Mirror, appeared in Shoji's Susanoo. Shoji only realized this not long ago.

It's unclear whether these two artifacts were present from the moment Itachi activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, or if they appeared at some later point in time. The original work doesn't explain where Itachi's two artifacts came from. Shoji can only understand them as companions to Susanoo, appearing on a clansman who activated the Mangekyou Sharingan due to a specific condition unknown to their clan.

It was precisely because he possessed the Bisha Tenmon Technique and the Totsuka Sword, as well as the eye power he gained after activating the Eternal Eye, that Shoji was so confident that he could defeat Obito and Black Zetsu. As long as he dealt with these two at this point in time, his future plans would become much smoother.

However, things started as Shoji had predicted, but the result was far beyond his expectations!

After this brush with death.

Obito will definitely be more vigilant at their next meeting.

Unless he can further improve his strength, it will be difficult for him to defeat Obito with his current strength. Obito won't be stupid enough to fall for the same trick a second time, just as Obito predicted.

The biggest weakness of the Vaishravana Gate Technique lies in its 'distance'!

Because this is a very unstable personal space, it takes time to build. To pull someone into this 'virtual world,' it's best to be in 'zero distance,' with eye contact, which guarantees success, just like how Tsukasa easily dragged Obito in!

However, it becomes difficult to do this once the distance is a bit far.

If only we had been a little closer just now.

Jiang Si would do everything in his power to unleash his eye power one more time. Even if he still couldn't kill Obito, if he could force Obito to use his Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan to use the Izanagi technique, the result would be no different from killing Obito!

Because Obito, without Kamui, has no chance of escaping!

It was already a sign of Obito's foresight that he could carry a three-tomoe Sharingan as a backup. Shoji didn't believe he would carry a second ordinary-tomoe Sharingan. Unfortunately, Shoji had no way of knowing whether Obito carried a second Sharingan, since he didn't even give himself a second chance to use the technique.

The judgment is that they fled directly.

This made the general feel annoyed.

'That guy really made a decisive move!'

Jiang Si couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking to himself.

Taking another deep breath to calm himself down, Shoji then closed his Sharingan, restoring his clear black and white pupils.

"Obito Uchiha, you're lucky this time, but one day I will personally execute you!"

Shoji looked in the direction Obito and Black Zetsu had left, a cold glint in his eyes. Then, he lightly tiptoed with his right foot and sped off in another direction.

Having failed to defeat Obito this time, it's foreseeable that the difficulty of defeating Obito in the future will definitely increase several levels. Kamui is indeed difficult to restrain, and when combined with Izanagi, it becomes even more difficult. I must take all possibilities into account.

Or they could simply and decisively awaken the Rinnegan, just like Madara.

Alternatively, one could seek further external assistance, such as causing trouble for Kakashi Hatake and obtaining Obito Uchiha's other Mangekyou Sharingan. In that case, one would have the confidence to truly defeat Obito!

Regardless of the circumstances, Shoji realized that his plans had changed again.

It just goes to show that plans can never keep up with changes.

---Aside---

Creating a unique eye technique is truly difficult. The content of the technique itself is relatively easy to conceive, but the problem lies in the name. Looking at the unique eye techniques of the Uchiha clan in the original work, it's clear that each one is related to a Japanese deity, including Kaguya's Amenominaka. My first thought was Konohana Sakuya-hime, the legendary goddess of cherry blossoms, which would be perfect as a unique genjutsu. Unfortunately, she used that name long ago. Afterwards, I kept searching through Japanese deities' catalogs and finally found Bishaten from the Seven Lucky Gods, although it's not entirely appropriate. However, I really tried my best to come up with a name for it. Please subscribe and vote!

405. Heading to the Land of Water

Not to mention that he regretted not being able to completely capture Obito this time, feeling that his strength was still somewhat insufficient, and had to change his plans again, Shoji left in different directions. On the other side, Obito had just led Black Zetsu in a rapid retreat.

It was only at the moment he reappeared from the Divine Might Space, just after leaving that area.

"Wow!?"
