From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Kakashi was much stronger back then than he is now, at the very beginning of the Fourth Shinobi World War.

He defeated the combined forces of Zabuza and Haku, his former evenly matched opponents, without much effort.

It's easy to imagine how strong Kakuzu must be, given that he was able to completely overpower Kakashi throughout the fight.

Being able to take down one of Kakuzu's hearts is already the result of pushing his limits.

"What a dangerous eye technique. I never thought that Kakashi Hatake, an outsider, would be able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan."

When Sasuke arrived, Kakuzu noticed him but didn't pay attention. Instead, he muttered to himself, looking somewhat shaken.

Kakashi is strong, but Kakuzu doesn't take him seriously.

At first, he was able to put up a fight with him, but as Kakuzu got serious, he quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and the situation became precarious.

Just as Kakuzu lost patience and prepared to kill him and take his heart.

Kakashi's Sharingan actually changed its form, sublimating into the Mangekyou Sharingan, and released a dojutsu that could tear space apart.

If it weren't for the fact that it was Kakashi's first time using that eye technique, he wouldn't have been unfamiliar with it, and the position was a bit crooked and slow.

He felt like he had almost capsized in a ditch.

However, even so, one of his water-attribute hearts was still destroyed by Kakashi's eye technique.

After pondering silently for a moment, Kakuzu looked at Sasuke with a playful expression in his eyes and said softly:

"Itachi Uchiha's younger brother? Heh... Interesting..."

"So, it seems you took down Hidan, right?"

Kakuzu looked at Sasuke indifferently and said, "I finally had a stable partner, and now he's dead."

Hearing Kakuzu's completely unmoved tone, Sasuke smiled slightly and said:

"How about we call it a day, go our separate ways, and meet again someday?"

Chapter 106 As soon as I entered the door, I saw Kakuzu fighting Kakashi.

"How about it?"

Sasuke's lips curled slightly, and he spoke in a tone that was half joking and half serious.

“I killed your comrade, and you killed several of our Konoha people. Why don’t we just call it even and go our separate ways?”

Kakuzu narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently, "Uchiha brat, are you joking?"

'Are you trying to distract me with words so you can then use illusion magic?'

As he spoke, Kakuzu glanced at Sasuke across from him, and frowned inwardly when he saw that Sasuke's eyes were still clear and distinct.

In Kakuzu's view, Sasuke Uchiha was able to defeat Hidan, so it was impossible that he hadn't awakened the Sharingan.

Furthermore, given Sasuke Uchiha's status as an orphan and his upbringing, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would utter such naive and ridiculous words.

Clearly, the intention was to use language or some kind of psychological tactic to lower his guard, and then seize the opportunity to use illusion magic to defeat him!

'Unfortunately, illusions don't work much on me.'

Kakuzu sneered inwardly, feeling that he had seen through all the schemes of the young man before him.

He mastered the secret technique of Earth Grudge Fear and possessed five hearts. Kakashi destroyed one of them, leaving him with four.

To have an effect on him with illusions, you must hypnotize his main body and his three heart clones at the same time.

Otherwise, even if any one of them were missing, he could instantly regain consciousness.

Moreover, after nearly capsizing at Kakashi's hands just now.

Kakuzu then became serious and dared not be careless again.

Sasuke Uchiha was able to defeat Hidan, regardless of the process.

But that's the result, and that in itself proves his ability.

"I finally told the truth, but nobody believes me...."

Seeing that Kakuzu remained unmoved, and perhaps even seemed to be imagining something, Sasuke muttered to himself.

He really didn't want to fight.

In his normal state, he is only slightly stronger than Kakashi now, and is no match for Kakuzu when he gets serious.

If Sasuke wants to fight Kakuzu, he must use the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Unless he can completely kill Kakuzu here.

Otherwise, his kaleidoscope would be exposed.

The key is--

Obito Uchiha has arrived!

Sasuke's extraordinary visual perception from his previous life underwent a tremendous transformation after merging with the body's powerful spiritual energy.

For more than four years, this visual perception has been consistently effective.

Similar to the "observer effect," the observer will inevitably cause changes in the observed things.

If anyone is spying on you, and their gaze falls on you, you can sense it instantly.

Whether it was the Third Hokage's crystal ball, Danzo's several secret spyings in Konoha, or the Hidden Mist Village's silent killing technique.

Even the smallest fish, shrimp, and insects cannot escape his visual perception as long as they are focused on Sasuke.

However, to avoid overwhelming his brain with too much information, Sasuke usually chooses to block out the visual perception of some unconscious, weak animals.

When he stepped onto the battlefield between Kakuzu and Kakashi, he felt an indescribable feeling.

It wasn't quite like spying; the feeling was extremely vague, vague, seemingly both far away and yet right before my eyes.

Illusory and ethereal!

If someone were to actually look at him, then the owner of that gaze would seem to come from another world, another dimension.

Kamui Space!

What truly convinced Sasuke that Obito Uchiha's appearance wasn't just a figment of his imagination was the faint, ethereal feeling that had just appeared.

A gaze that simultaneously contained both frivolous curiosity and cautious composure also turned towards Sasuke.

Although this gaze was extremely hidden and faint, it was not as illusory and ethereal as before, as if it did not exist in this world.

Absolutely!

Sasuke also guessed what technique Kakashi used to destroy one of Kakuzu's hearts when he was at his peak.

Kamui!

...........

A few minutes ago, in a strange space where the sky was filled with endless, gloomy colors.

Obito Uchiha stared into the depths of silence as he looked at the monstrous corpse that had suddenly appeared in the space, its body torn into countless pieces and fragments.

He recognized where the object came from.

After a long silence, Obito Uchiha touched his right eye, then stood up and stepped towards the lingering spatial fluctuations.

After a spatial vortex, Obito Uchiha's figure disappeared into the Kamui dimension.

"Wow, I can't believe Hidan is actually dead."

The white Zetsu inside the pitcher plant grinned, its expression exaggerated, and exclaimed in amusement.

"He was still killed by Uchiha Sasuke, huh? No wonder he's Itachi's brother, tsk tsk tsk!"

"I just don't know how he managed to kill Hidan, it's so intriguing, araraara."

White Zetsu watched as Kakuzu and Sasuke stood facing off, marveling at the sight. He then turned to the silent Obito Uchiha and asked with a grin, "Hey, Obito, you arrived a little earlier than us. Did you see how Sasuke Uchiha defeated Hidan?"

Obito Uchiha glanced at White Zetsu out of the corner of his eye, too lazy to even say a word, and simply shook his head slightly.

Little did he know how Hidan died at the hands of Sasuke Uchiha.

As soon as he came out of the Kamui dimension, he saw Kakuzu fighting Kakashi.

He only learned of Hidan's death from their conversation when Sasuke Uchiha appeared at the scene.

"Huh? You don't even know Obito?"

Bai Jue's eyes widened, he scratched his head, and said frantically, "I really want to know what's going on! It's so intriguing, just like I've never understood what it feels like to poop."

"idiot!"

Black Zetsu, who had been focused intently on the scene, suddenly cursed in a fit of rage.

"If you're curious, fine, but why are you touching my butt?"

"What's wrong with touching you? You can't poop anyway."

White Zetsu pursed his lips and said dismissively, "Of the three of us, only Obito poops."

Then go and touch Obito.

Black Zetsu opened his mouth, about to blurt out, when he saw Obito Uchiha's eye twitch.

Although his expression was obscured by the mask, it must have looked extremely unpleasant, so he swallowed his words in the end.

"By the way, Obito, tell me more about this..."

"Shut up!"

Obito Uchiha, who had been silent all along, could no longer hold back. His cold, icy voice seemed to burst out from between his teeth.

"Say one more word and I'll kill you!"

Why did I bother discussing these things with this idiot in the first place? Now I'm just getting annoyed with it.

Bai Jue looked dejected and listless.

After White Zetsu's antics, Black Zetsu regained his composure and was about to refocus his attention on the situation.

A mental message was transmitted from the ring on my finger.

"Nagato is summoning us."
