Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Obito Appears
Remember this guy was training Eight Gates with Might Guy, right? The training time should be less than half a year.
He couldn't help but wonder and said, "Did you see Ryosuke open the Fourth Gate?"
Inaho couldn't help but wonder and said, "Eighth Elder, I told you, he crushed me without even opening the Eight Gates."
"Ryosuke taught me the Eight Gates training method, but when I tried, even the First Gate was very difficult to train."
"But Ryosuke probably wouldn't deceive me about something like this, right?"
The Eighth Elder fell silent.
Inaho was right; Ryosuke wouldn't idly boast about having trained in the Eight Gates.
And he was even willing to teach the Eight Gates to his clansmen, clearly standing on the side of the family.
"You can go back. When I have time, I'll talk to Ryosuke again."
If his crazy mindset could be corrected, he'd be a very valuable asset.
He decided to finish these documents first and then go find him tomorrow morning to see if Ryosuke was really as strong as Inaho said.
He knew Ryosuke's habits—he would always train in the small forest near the clan grounds in the morning.
———
In the morning, Uchiha Ryosuke, as usual, went to the small forest for training.
A day without improving his stats felt completely wasted.
He started with a 20-kilometer run.
As he ran, a branch of a large tree in the small forest suddenly warped into a vortex, and a man wearing an orange swirl mask and dressed in an Akatsuki cloak with red clouds slowly appeared.
As soon as he emerged, he looked around at the scenery and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Konoha, it's been so long since I came back."
The last time he came here, he successfully captured the Nine-Tails. On a whim, he had wanted to destroy Konoha.
Unfortunately, he was thwarted by his teacher, Minato Namikaze.
This time, however, he wasn't here to capture the Nine-Tails. He was here to collect Sharingan.
Over the years, he had been studying the books left behind by Uchiha Madara in the mountain tomb and discovered an invincible ocular jutsu of the Uchiha clan—Izanagi.
By activating this technique, a Sharingan user could turn any disadvantageous events within a certain period of time into non-events, while only keeping advantageous events as reality. The duration depended on the user's abilities, but the eye used to activate the technique would inevitably go blind.
During its activation, even death could be rewritten, making it a terrifying invincible ocular technique.
Although Uchiha Obito had his invincible Kamui space-time jutsu, it wasn't truly invincible.
The last time he unleashed the Nine-Tails to destroy Konoha, he was injured by his teacher precisely because of this.
But if he had this invincible ocular jutsu, even his formidable teacher wouldn't stand a chance.
Although his teacher ultimately died sealing the Nine-Tails, the ninja world was vast, and Obito wouldn't be so careless again.
However, there weren't many Sharingan left in Madara's legacy.
He needed more stock.
To stock up, the Uchiha clan was naturally the place to go.
It was unfortunate that members of this clan rarely went out, and most of the skilled family ninjas were employed in Konoha's police force.
But even if he had to act in the heart of Konoha, he wasn't afraid.
Because of his invincible jutsu, Kamui.
Now, the question was how to target a lone Uchiha. That would make things easier.
Just as he thought of shifting his focus to find a lone Uchiha, he saw a figure running toward him.
The figure appeared strong, with unique spiky hair, identifying him as an Uchiha clansman.
He sighed inwardly, 'What luck—success right from the start.'
The clansman seemed to be training in taijutsu.
Although Obito found this puzzling, it didn't matter. Once absorbed into the Kamui space, the eyes could be harvested.
As for the opponent's life, he would not spare it. Letting him go would only leak information.
———
As he ran along the path, Uchiha Ryosuke sensed something and stopped.
He looked up and his pupils widened.
Others might not recognize the masked man, but Ryosuke could see clearly—the orange swirl mask and the Sharingan in the mask's eye hole.
Wasn't this Uchiha Obito?
At first glance, Ryosuke felt a deep sense of danger. If he got caught by Obito's Kamui, it would be over.
He had no intention of trying to reason with Obito.
Even Naruto, the master of persuasion, couldn't accomplish that.
Now, Obito was completely mad over Rin's death—a ruthless person who could kill even his teacher and his teacher's wife without hesitation.
He also wondered why Obito was targeting him.
At this moment, Obito jumped down from the tree, landing steadily on the ground, and slowly approached Ryosuke.
"You've awakened your Sharingan, haven't you?"
He could sense a powerful aura from Ryosuke. Someone like this must have awakened their Sharingan.
Ryosuke activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, preparing to confront Obito.
Was he really here to collect Sharingan?
There were two people in the ninja world who had gathered many Sharingan: Uchiha Obito and Danzo Shimura.
Consuming a Sharingan allowed the activation of the invincible Izanagi technique.
It seemed Obito truly intended to attack him.
Currently, Ryosuke's strength was at half-Kage level, but with the Eight Gates, he might have a chance to defeat Obito.
His priority now was to distract Obito.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
Obito, seeing Ryosuke's crimson Sharingan, praised him. "Impressive, a three-tomoe Sharingan."
"As for who I am, the dead don't need to know. My goal, of course, is your Sharingan."
What he needed to do now was provoke Ryosuke into attacking, so he could use Kamui to phase through the attack, then materialize and absorb him into the Kamui space.
Once absorbed, the target would pass out. In Kamui space, the target would be at his mercy.
Ryosuke's face turned grim. As expected, Obito was after his eyes.
Without further ado, he formed hand seals.
Simultaneously refining chakra, his chest swelled, and he unleashed a giant fireball, the size of a small house, toward Obito.
Obito was slightly surprised. 'What a powerful Fireball Jutsu. But it's useless.'
Kamui phase shift.
The giant fireball passed harmlessly through his body and exploded behind him, scorching the ground.
But such an attack did no harm to the masked man.
Ryosuke already knew this, but the fireball was just a feint. With his current chakra reserves, such a Fireball Jutsu was no burden.
Feigning surprise, he said, "How is this possible? How did you do that?"
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
