"Wait a minute!"
Obito awkwardly stretched his hands in the air, not knowing whether to retract or let them go.
"Don't you think this is strange? Madara Uchiha has been dead for many years. The oldest among us is only in our teens. How could we know if you're Madara Uchiha just because we've fought you? After all, we've never fought Madara Uchiha!"
Well - played!
Logically, there were no flaws!
"So, have you got the wrong people? It's no use asking us brats to verify your identity!"
...............
"I heard that the current Third Hokage was once a disciple of the First Hokage. If it's him, he might know something about Madara Uchiha!"
Temari supported Gaara and explained it to Naruto. If there was someone in the world who could confirm the identity of the man in front of them, it must be the Third Hokage.
"See, instead of going to the Hokage grandpa to verify your identity, you've blocked our way. Doesn't that prove you're a bully who picks on the weak?"
"Pfft～"
Sasuke couldn't hold it in because it was so funny.
Obito's body trembled slightly, and he clenched his fists tightly. It was obvious that he was using all his strength to endure.
He kept convincing himself in his heart that he couldn't lose his temper now and ruin Madara Uchiha's mysterious and aloof image, which would be quite unfavorable for future plans. But his heart seemed to be telling him to kill the brat who had made him look bad quickly, or else the anger in his heart would never subside!
The two ideas kept swirling in his mind. Finally, the single eye that was exposed above his mask was bloodshot.
"Brat! I'm going to kill you!"
With that, he strode forward. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Naruto. He raised his elbow high with great force and aimed a fierce blow at Naruto's head.
"Rasengan"
Naruto was equally unyielding. The moment Obito rushed up, the Rasengan in his hand was already formed. He slightly curled his fingers and pushed the Rasengan towards the figure in front of him.
The expected feeling of hitting didn't come. Together with the Rasengan and his body, they went right through the masked man.
Naruto turned around, his eyes wide open as he stared at what was happening. How was that possible!
The man was clearly right there, yet it felt like hitting a ghost. Could the man in front of him really be Madara Uchiha, who had been dead for many years, and had he turned into a ghost to cause trouble for him?
Thinking of this possibility, a fine layer of sweat instantly appeared on Naruto's forehead. What should he do? He was most afraid of such things.
He turned around and looked at the figure. The fear of ghosts made him tremble uncontrollably.
"Are you scared now, brat? It's too late!"
Naruto swallowed hard. After hesitating for a long time, he finally shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Shikinejutsu: Exorcism of Evil Spirits"
Silence...
There was another awkward silence.
Sasuke covered his aching forehead, trying to suppress his bursting anger.
"What the hell're you doin', ya idiot?"
"Huh!? You saw it too, right? This guy is a ghost. He has no physical form. I'm using the Nine - Character Mantra (a traditional Chinese incantation) to send him to the afterlife and achieve enlightenment instantly!"
"Idiot, the masked man is using a Space–Time Ninjutsu. The reason you can't hit him is that he puts his body in another space, which is why he feels like a ghost!"
"Huh? Really? But the teacher never taught us this kind of ninjutsu!"
Even Temari, who was watching from the side, broke out in a cold sweat. Space–Time Ninjutsu was extremely powerful, and there were few users. In this situation, it was hard for them to win.
"Y'all done messin' around!"
Obito finally exploded and roared.
"You've fooled me again and again. I'll tear you little imps to pieces!"
"Naruto, be careful! You can't be careless with Space–Time Ninjutsu!"
At this time, Naruto also tensed up. The enemy's ghost - like figure seemed close at hand, but in fact, it might not be. With such a switch between reality and illusion, what kind of ninjutsu should he use to defeat the enemy?
Sasuke activated his Sharingan and caught the moment when Obito changed his form.
The metal ninja blades clashed with each other, sparking a series of bright flashes that were particularly noticeable in the dark green forest.
Based on the experience of their previous battle, even without activating his Mangekyo, Sasuke could hold his own against Obito.
Naruto was extremely surprised by what he saw. Sasuke seemed to be able to predict the future. He could tell when Obito was in physical form and when he was intangible.
In fact, Obito, who was interacting with Sasuke, was increasingly shocked. Only he knew how much pressure he was under.
How on earth did this young boy manage to judge his current situation? This was simply incredible!
No, if this went on, he'd lose both face and dignity.
Obito leaped and landed on a tree trunk. He didn't expect the enemy to be so difficult to deal with. Moreover, since the other side also had a three - tomoe Sharingan, Genjutsu probably wouldn't be very effective.
In that case, it was time to settle the score with ninjutsu.
"Fire Release: Storm Dance"
The fire vortex formed by the combination of Kamui and Fire Release: Storm Dance came spinning towards them, full of wild energy.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Shot"
Anyway, at this time, Obito's Chakra Reserves Amount was much larger. It was several times that of Sasuke's. Even using the Water Release, which was the most effective against Fire Release, couldn't stop the fire vortex. Sasuke knew he had no chance in this Chakra - amount competition.
As the attack got closer, Sasuke could only put his hands in front of him to protect his head from the damage as much as possible.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique"
The next second, the expected pain didn't come. The scorching Fire Release jutsu from behind him clashed with Obito's moves.
The bright and fierce flames illuminated the entire forest. In an instant, the forest was filled with fire, and the birds and beasts scattered in all directions.
The two sides were deadlocked, and neither was willing to back down. In the battle, it was Obito who stopped attacking. It wasn't because he was weaker; instead, he wanted to see who the person right in front of him was.
"You're Aniki Shisui!"
"Oh~ Sasuke, I'm here to support you!"
Surprised expression
"Support me? How's your brother doing?"
Confused expression
"Itachi has won. They've driven Orochimaru off. He specifically told me to come and keep an eye on you~"
"What about Teacher Baki? How is he?"
Seeing Shisui's figure, Temari couldn't help shouting. Her teacher had blocked Shisui Uchiha for them. If Shisui was safe and sound here now, did it mean...
