Temari's eyes dimmed a bit as she thought of this. Yeah, maybe her teacher...
"Hey, little girl from Sunagakure, don't worry. Your teacher is fine. I knocked him out with my Sharingan in just one encounter. Now he's been thrown into prison by the Konoha Police Force. Maybe he's sleeping soundly right now!"
Hearing this, the heart that had been hanging finally settled, but then she was taken aback. Didn't this mean that Shisui Uchiha was so powerful that he could defeat her teacher thoroughly in just one encounter...
Obito squinted at the man in front of him who was smiling brightly. That kind of smile was so annoying!
Especially since he was an Uchiha!
This made Obito recall his former self, who was pure, kind, and always had a silly smile on his face.
"Shisui Uchiha!"
"Oh, this uncle wearing a strange mask. I don't know what you're up to, but I advise you to surrender now."
With that, Shisui took out a kunai from his pocket, twirled it skillfully in his hand, and held it across his chest.
Obito raised his proud head and looked down at Shisui with a cold, piercing look in his eyes.
He had planned to use the rampage of Shukaku inside Gaara to deal a heavy blow to Konoha and take the Nine - Tailed Fox back to his base at the same time. But unexpectedly, Shisui Uchiha popped up on the way. What a hassle! It seemed that a tough battle was inevitable.
Shisui noticed Obito's momentary distraction. He took a step forward and suddenly appeared right in front of Obito.
Their Sharingan met, and Shisui formed hand seals with both hands.
"Illusionary Shifting Body Technique"
Suddenly, several illusory clones appeared beside him. These illusions and Shisui's true form attacked Obito, who seemed as steady as a mountain.
Shisui's illusory clones didn't hit Obito's body. Instead, they passed through him unhindered and rushed to the other side. Shisui staggered a few steps before barely stopping.
"Be careful, Shisui. This guy uses Space–Time Ninjutsu. He can make part of his body intangible and hide it in another dimension. It's quite a nuisance!"
"Oh, interesting!"
Only then did Shisui seriously size up his rival in front of him. This man managed to take advantage of Orochimaru's plan to achieve his own ulterior motives, one aiming for the prey while another lies in wait. It seems that he shouldn't be underestimated.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Madara Uchiha."
Shisui snorted coldly. The man in front of him was still being deliberately mysterious. He insisted on saying he was Madara Uchiha. What on earth was he trying to achieve?
"Stop making such ridiculous jokes. Madara Uchiha is a ninja as famous as the God of Ninja, Hashirama Senju. Although I've never seen him, I know you're a fake!"
"Oh~ How can you tell?"
"It's simple. You don't look that old to me. You're at most 30 years old."
"Blindly confident and stupid human. Your senses can deceive you. Don't be so self - righteous!"
"Humph. I bet you're a ninja too. For us ninjas who live on the brink, aside from trusting our comrades, we must also trust our instincts. Those instincts, honed through countless life-and-death battles, are what keep us alive!"
Looking at Obito, who remained silent for a long time, Shisui shouted at Sasuke.
"Sasuke, you guys step back. It's time for a real fight now!"
"Naruto, let's step back!"
Naruto instantly understood. Naruto and Sasuke, together with Temari and Gaara, left the arena for Shisui.
"Although you're also an Uchiha, you only have a single Mangekyō Sharingan. To be honest, you won't amount to much. Today, I'll show you the power of the dual Mangekyō Sharingan!"
Even though it was still a clear-sky day, the temperature in the forest suddenly dropped a few degrees. As the pattern of the Sharingan in Shisui's eye changed, a bright green exoskeleton covered his body, followed by muscle and skin.
A huge humanoid figure, fully covered in hard armor and holding a massive spiral sword, suddenly appeared. It was even larger than the fully tailed-beast form of Shukaku!
"Mangekyō Sharingan: Susanoo"
It was impossible for Naruto not to be shocked as his eyes swept over such a terrifying move. Was this the trump card of the Uchiha clan?
Sasuke was truly amazing!
At this moment, Obito felt the same as Naruto. With only a single Sharingan, he couldn't use Susanoo like Shisui. Compared to this towering Susanoo, his chances of victory were extremely slim.
"What's wrong, the legendary Madara Uchiha? This level of ability should be a piece of cake for you! Why don't you summon your own Susanoo and have a battle with us?"
Hearing Shisui's words, cold sweat broke out on Obito's forehead. Could he summon it? Of course not! He wasn't Madara Uchiha. But given the current situation and Shisui's taunting tone, he definitely couldn't back down.
"Brat, you're not qualified yet. Watch my Perfect Susanoo."
With that, he stepped forward towards Shisui. Shisui controlled the huge Susanoo and tried to pierce Obito with the spiral sword. However, Obito had already turned intangible in advance and placed part of his body in his own space. He waved his hand towards the green armor, and a shower of Explosive Tags instantly stuck to it.
He let out a loud shout, and the green forest was filled with flames and the sound of explosions. The explosions reverberated for quite a while before finally dying down.
As the smoke cleared, Obito nervously eyed the person in front of him. Shisui slightly waved his arm, making the huge Susanoo disperse the smoke around him.
He was completely unharmed! The simultaneous explosion of thousands of Explosive Tags was as powerful as his strongest attack, but it still couldn't do anything to Shisui's Susanoo.
"What, is that all you've got? It's not even enough to tickle me!"
After a period of battle, Shisui had already noticed the weakness in Obito's Space Ninjutsu. The masked man in front of him had to be in a solid state when releasing or absorbing attacks. As a result, the odds of victory had completely tipped in his favor.
Taking advantage of the moment when Obito absorbed his attack, Shisui swung his huge spiral sword and stabbed it fiercely through Obito's body.
Obito let out a muffled groan. A hole was punched in his stomach, and blood began to flow out uncontrollably.
"Tsk!"
A disgruntled clicking sound was heard. Shisui still hadn't fully seized the moment to deliver a fatal blow to his rival.
When Shisui wanted to land a second strike to finish off Obito, a head like that of a Venus flytrap rushed forward. After a shrill scream, it blocked Shisui's attack.
Taking this moment, Obito used his Space–Time Ninjutsu to flee like the wind, leaving only a half - dead body impaled on the spiral sword.
