I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't need your approval.

However, even with the use of a large amount of resources for catalysis, the three-tomoe stage has already reached its limit.

It is extremely difficult to evolve a cloned Sharingan into the Mangekyou Sharingan stage, but it is precisely because of the difficulty that scientific research becomes more and more interesting.

Suddenly, Orochimaru seemed to remember something and looked towards Nagato beside him.

According to the information provided by Naruto, Nagato was not born with the Rinnegan. The owner of the Rinnegan was someone else, Madara Uchiha, who faked his death and escaped from the battle at the Valley of the End decades ago.

If this news is true, then the Rinnegan is one of the evolutionary directions of the Sharingan, which is really interesting.

……

A few kilometers away.

Obito chased Konan all the way to an open space near a river. Looking at Konan flying in mid-air, he chuckled and said, "Konan, why did you stop running? Or did you finally lure me into a trap?"

Konan's face turned cold, and countless paper shurikens poured out, shooting towards Obito on the ground.

Obito, without changing his expression, used his intangibility ability to walk calmly on the ground, gradually approaching Konan in mid-air, a smile slowly creeping onto his lips.

With his perception, he had long ago sensed that thousands of explosive tags were buried nearby.

These explosive tags combined are enough to change the course of a small-scale war. Even he, if hit head-on by an explosive tag, would be in a sorry state.

However, any attack is ineffective against the ability to become intangible.

As long as the Kamui dimension exists, he will always have the home-field advantage, and Konan's explosive tags and chakra will eventually be exhausted. Once Konan is captured alive, finding Nagato's whereabouts will be a piece of cake.

Just then, Obito turned around and looked behind him. When he saw that Itachi and Kisame hadn't followed, he frowned.

Given Itachi and Kisame's speed, there's no way they couldn't keep up with him, unless they were entangled by Konan and Nagato's helpers, or betrayed him and joined Nagato and Konan's side.

Thinking about it carefully, the latter is more likely, but are they prepared for the consequences of betraying them?

After giving a cold snort to himself, Obito lost interest in playing cat and mouse. He raised his hand, and wooden spikes flew out, piercing through the paper wall's defenses and striking Konan's body.

Obito then formed hand seals, using Kamui to distort the surrounding space, and shouted, "Fire Release: Explosive Wind Dance!"

Soon, as the flames spread, the explosive tags buried underground were ignited one by one, instantly destroying a large area of ​​explosive tags.

Upon seeing this, Konan frowned and manipulated the explosive tags to fly towards Obito.

Rumble!

Countless explosive tags exploded on the spot. Obito tried to dodge during the time he was intangible, but he still couldn't escape the range of the explosive tags. He could only continue to maintain intangibility and wait for the explosive tags to be exhausted.

Affected by the explosion, countless creatures in the forest fled into the distance to avoid the battle between Konan and Obito.

The roar of the explosion successfully masked the sounds of the battle between Susanoo in the distance, preventing Obito from understanding what was happening outside the blast radius.

The explosion lasted for five minutes, and Obito ran out of explosive tags just as he was about to use Izanagi to save his life.

Obito's face darkened, and he looked at Konan in mid-air. He instantly appeared in front of the panting Konan, raised a sharp kunai, and used his Sharingan genjutsu.

With a soft "plop," a streak of blood ripped through the sky.

Konan's body was not pierced, but Obito's right arm had been severed by a wind blade and he fell toward the ground.

Realizing that his right arm had been severed, Obito's expression turned extremely grim, and he then looked at Konan.

Xiao Nan smiled and muttered to herself, "You thought that my planting of three million explosive tags was a trap, but it was just bait."

"Obito Uchiha, there are more people who want to kill you than you can imagine, and their strength is far greater than yours!"

"Unfortunately, I am not capable enough to kill you with my own hands and avenge Yahiko and the other comrades."

Konan and Nagato had the opportunity to join Uzushio Village to deal with Obito on their own. Before relying on Naruto's power, she wanted to try to defeat Obito, but Obito was much stronger than she had imagined.

After Konan left, Naruto picked up Obito's arm, looked up at Obito, and grinned, "Obito-senpai, I didn't expect you to give me an arm so soon after we met. You're really generous."

"If I remember correctly, this is the second time you've given me a gift."

Chapter 280 Naruto's Crushing Strike Against Obito

Obito's first gift-giving incident dates back to the night of the Nine-Tails.

At that time, Naruto had just been born. Obito, worried that his junior brother would catch a cold, thoughtfully delivered information covered with explosive tags. That was the closest Naruto ever came to death; he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.

Therefore, Naruto's attitude towards Obito was simple: Obito only has one life, so he should use it sparingly.

Upon seeing Naruto appear before him, Obito's expression turned extremely solemn. With his current strength, he knew he was no match for Naruto unless he could find a way to bring Naruto into the Kamui dimension and starve him to death.

But would Naruto really give him that chance? Obito wasn't sure either.

At that moment, Obito suddenly noticed the commotion in the distance and discovered that two Susanoo were fighting in the forest at the edge of the horizon, with strong chakra fluctuations erupting. He was stunned for a moment.

It turns out that Itachi Uchiha and Kisame did not betray him; they were simply entangled by the ninjas of Uzushio Village.

After taking a deep breath, Obito looked at Naruto: "Judging from your tone, you seem to have recognized the identity I abandoned. Konan and Nagato, those two traitors, have also come to join you. But are you really confident you can take me down?"

Naruto shrugged, smiled, and said, "Obito, the Mangekyou Sharingan you awakened is called Kamui. It contains the Kamui dimension, which can provide you with the ability to teleport and become intangible. Intangibility can make you immune to all attacks, but it can only last for a maximum of five minutes."

"Do you know why Xiao Nan lost just now? It's because she only prepared a detonation tag for four minutes and fifty-nine seconds."

Upon hearing this, Obito could no longer remain calm. Naruto had thoroughly investigated his intelligence, and if he didn't fight with all his might in this battle, he might really die.

Just as Obito was pondering, Naruto entered Sage Mode and teleported to Obito's side.

After punching Obito in the nose, Naruto reappeared above Obito's head and slammed him to the ground with an elbow strike. Immediately afterward, a shadow clone threw a Rasenshuriken from below Obito.

Under immense wind pressure, Obito's skin began to bleed, but he remained conscious.

After taking the Rasenshuriken by force, Obito planned to use Earth Release to burrow underground and use the Mayfly Technique to escape. However, the originally soft soil became harder than steel, forcing Obito to return to the surface.

After suffering several setbacks, Obito noticed something unusual about the earth.

Not only does he possess the immense power of Naruto, but he also controls the earth beneath his feet. Using the power of Sage Mode, Naruto even manages to control the earth beneath his feet.

At this moment, Obito realized that he would not be able to escape if he kept running away.

The only way to survive is to defeat Naruto and trap him inside the Kamui dimension. However, this would cause him to lose his most important intangibility ability, and his strength would be greatly reduced.

At this point, Obito began to regret not having invited Black Zetsu and Madara.

If the two of them had also participated in the pursuit of Nagato and Konan, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state now.

After fleeing into the forest in a sorry state, Obito severed White Zetsu's arm. After regenerating his right arm, Obito took out his chains and scythe, preparing to use the Izanagi technique to kill Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto calmly found Obito, his eyes full of mockery, and then appeared behind Obito.

During the battle, he left the Flying Thunder God mark on Obito. As long as Obito doesn't leave his perception range, he can appear near Obito at any time.

However, his precise perception range is not very large, only a few tens of kilometers.

Hearing the wind behind him, Obito immediately turned around and saw Naruto's smiling face. He was startled and then his leg was severed by a short sword, and a sharp pain shot through him.

Using the Intangibility Technique to escape and create distance, Obito attached a White Zetsu prosthetic body and looked at Naruto not far away.

Naruto was collecting his arms and legs, and the smile on his face sent chills down his spine. It made him realize that Naruto wanted to torture him to death, not just kill him.

Thinking about this, Obito became somewhat frightened.

Naruto caught this expression and smiled disdainfully: "What, Obito-senpai, are you scared? You weren't like this when you released the Nine-Tails to attack Kushina."

"However, I really admire people like you who are willing to use any means to achieve their goals."

"Even when he released the Nine-Tails to attack his own village, pointed his scythe at his teacher and master, and killed his only relative, that lonely old Uchiha woman."

"You've already been so heartless, so what if you transform your entire body into a White Zetsu? Why are you afraid?"

Obito remained silent. He didn't want to listen to Naruto's lecture, nor did he want to confront these painful memories. He knew that releasing the Nine-Tails had killed his clansmen and his grandmother, who had been longing to hold her grandson every day.

Using his eye power, Obito unleashed Kamui, flashing into the Kamui dimension, his eyes filled with helplessness as he gazed into the distant darkness.

The Mangekyou Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul. In the most painful moment, he awakened the eye technique most suitable for him. His Mangekyou Sharingan technique is Kamui, which gave him a world that belonged only to him.

A few breaths later, a vortex appeared in the Kamui space, and Naruto's figure appeared inside.

After glancing at the Kamui dimension with interest, Naruto looked at Obito and said casually, "Is this the Kamui dimension that Kakashi mentioned? It looks dark, but it's quite suitable for a hiding rat like you."

"However, before launching an attack on you, I made some preparations, including how to get here."

Upon hearing Kakashi's name, Obito immediately stood up: "You even teamed up with Kakashi? Why didn't Kakashi show up earlier?"

"It's simple, he doesn't want to see you killed."

"He gave you a chance during the Chunin Exams, but you didn't seize it. If you had surrendered then, I might have imprisoned you until you died, but you chose to refuse."

Naruto walked step by step toward Obito, his kunai piercing Obito's heart.

Obito's figure vanished from the spot and reappeared behind Naruto a few seconds later, but Naruto seemed to already know where he had resurrected. The kunai pierced Obito's body again, and Obito's body disappeared once more.

Unlike Danzo, who was a inferior product, Obito possessed the Uchiha bloodline and the body of a White Zetsu.

To some extent, Obito had mastered the power of the Senju and Uchiha clans. His Izanagi technique could grant immunity to more fatal damage and lasted for a full three minutes.

However, a longer duration is also a good thing, at least it won't kill them so easily.

Chapter 281 You're just running away.

After repeatedly killing Obito more than ten times, Obito gave up thinking, clutching his chest and staring at Naruto not far away.

He knew he was doomed this time, and it was almost impossible for him to leave the Kamui dimension alive, but he couldn't understand how Naruto had grown to this level.

Judging from his age, Naruto is at most thirteen years old.

How did he manage to fight Nagato to a draw three years ago? Does a perfect Jinchuriki really exist in the ninja world before the age of ten? Maybe I should have killed Naruto earlier, even at the risk of losing my Tailed Beast.

Seeing that Obito had given up resisting, Naruto sheathed his drawn sword and slowly walked to Obito's side.

Obito wanted to use Kamui to leave the Kamui dimension, but halfway through activating the eye technique, he saw Naruto smiling in the real world. Now he could no longer distinguish between Naruto's real body and shadow clones, and either way he could easily defeat him.

“I failed…you can kill me.” Obito accepted the fact that he had failed.

At this moment, he realized that he had completely lost. No matter how much he struggled, he could not escape his fate of defeat. From the moment he received the news about Nagato, he had fallen into the trap set by Naruto.

Naruto used the Kamui Sharingan he left with Kakashi to gain access to the Kamui dimension.

Even without this authority, he was still no match for Naruto, because Naruto was too strong. Even a shadow clone was no match for him, and Naruto's almost uncanny ability to predict battle left him with a deep sense of powerlessness.

“Kill you?” Naruto sneered. “And then let you be free? Are you still dreaming? Besides, I don’t intend to let you reunite with Rin Nohara in the Pure Land. I have a better way to deal with you.”

"Do you know my story with Rin Nohara?"

When Nohara Rin was mentioned, Obito's eyes lit up again. He then sighed and said, "That's right. Perhaps you guessed my identity as early as three years ago, and you also knew about the Eye of the Moon Project that I was carrying out."
