Chapter 592 Obito: Open?

As the sun slowly set in the west, the training in the South Border Forest was nearing its end.

Obito glanced at Rin Nohara, who was being taught by Minato Namikaze, then walked over to Kakashi, who was sitting.

“Kakashi, you’re not in good shape today. If you’re too tired, you can reduce some of your training. Everyone knows you’re quite weak,” Obito advised, pretending to be concerned.

Kakashi, who had finished refining his Chakra, opened his eyes and looked at Obito expressionlessly.

Originally, he had wanted to challenge Might Guy, the strongest in the team, to test the progress the Yang Seal had brought him.

Now he had changed his mind and decided to teach Obito a lesson first.

After he mastered Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his strength was slightly greater than Obito’s, but due to limited Chakra, a mistake could still lead to Obito turning the tables.

So Obito’s strength was also enough for a test.

“In that case, Obito, you must be very strong, right? I’d like to see your current strength,” Kakashi immediately issued a challenge.

“Uh…” Obito hesitated.

“No, I don’t feel like fighting recently,” Obito refused, finding a random excuse.

He felt his chances of winning were low, and there was no need to fight Kakashi now.

What was the point of a fight he was likely to lose, especially without a reward?

“If you win, I’ll destroy all the photos,” Kakashi said unhurriedly.

He understood Obito too well; Obito wouldn’t accept a normal fight he was likely to lose.

But if there was a prize Obito cared about, then Obito would choose to gamble, as a small chance of winning was still a chance.

“You first tell me what kind of photos they are,” Obito’s heart instantly stirred, but he worried Kakashi was playing word games, so he asked.

Kakashi took out the photo of Obito with a distorted expression from his Ninja tool pouch and said lightly:

“It’s this one. If you win, I’ll destroy them all, not a single one left.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Obito quickly leaned forward to help Kakashi put the photo back, lest others see it.

Just like that, a pleasant sparring session was set.

It was almost the end of training time anyway, and the other disciples, seeing a fight, gathered around.

“We’re only comparing raw strength; no Summoning Jutsu allowed,” Obito emphasized before the fight began.

Charizard was countered by Kakashi’s Rockruff, so the clever Obito proposed the no-summoning rule to increase his chances of winning.

“I know,” Kakashi nodded calmly.

He was testing the Yang Seal, so he naturally didn’t care about such rules.

“I must win!” Obito took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a look of determination.

For Obito, this battle was as important as a life-or-death struggle.

If he won, the photo that would socially mortify him would be completely destroyed; if he lost, whether he was socially mortified or not would still be in Kakashi’s hands.

“The battle begins!” Muzuki, acting as referee, announced after seeing both of them ready.

As soon as Muzuki finished speaking, both of them concentrated their breathing to enhance their physical abilities, and Obito even directly activated his Sharingan.

Although continuously using Sharingan consumed a lot of Chakra, the Sharingan’s powerful insight could give Obito greater room for error, making it less likely for him to be caught off guard by Kakashi.

The most important point was that Obito had more Chakra than Kakashi. When facing Kakashi, he didn’t need to be too conservative, because Kakashi’s sustained combat ability was worse than his.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Kakashi did not immediately activate the Yang Seal, but instead casually threw several Shuriken at Obito.

Clang! Clang!

Obito threw the same number of Shuriken, each one precisely hitting Kakashi’s Shuriken, successfully intercepting the attack.

Obito couldn’t help but smile smugly. Shuriken had been one of his strong suits since his Ninja Academy days, and with the help of his Sharingan, such a maneuver was easy for him.

“Shadow Clone Technique!”

Kakashi ran while forming hand signs, splitting into two Shadow Clones.

“Clones? Watch me burn you all up in one go!”

“Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!”

Obito retreated slightly, condensing a large amount of Chakra in his throat and spitting out a large expanse of flames.

“Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!”

Kakashi quickly formed hand signs, raising a thick earth wall in front of him.

The raging flames struck the earth wall, leaving scorched marks, but failed to break through its defense.

Obito maintained his Chakra output, silently controlling the flames of the sea of fire to split and condense into three fire dragons, attacking from both sides and above the earth wall.

This was the advantage of Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet; it was flexible even with a large attack range.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just then, three Kakashis suddenly rushed out from behind the wall, using the gaps between the fire dragons to dodge the attack, and charged directly towards Obito.

Obito’s expression remained unchanged; he had expected this.

Kakashi had mastered Transparent World. The earth wall could block Obito’s vision, but it couldn’t block Kakashi’s vision.

So it was not surprising that Kakashi could see Obito splitting the fire dragons for attack and respond immediately.

“Flame Breathing Chakra Mode!”

Obito concentrated his breathing to the extreme, instantly entering Flame Breathing Chakra Mode.

“Flame Vortex!”

Obito pressed his palms together, and a vast expanse of flames was rapidly exhaled by Obito, surrounding the three attacking Kakashis, forming a vortex of flames that rapidly shrunk.

“Bold and meticulous, Obito has truly grown a lot,” Minato Namikaze praised.

This wave of attack was clearly the result of Obito’s premeditation, not a blind guess.

Minato Namikaze felt that as long as the opponent’s strength wasn’t too much greater than Obito’s, most Ninja in the Ninja World would be caught off guard and killed by this move if they didn’t have information on Obito.

The no-hand-sign rapid release of Flame Breathing Chakra Mode was truly advantageous in one-on-one combat.

Bang, bang, bang!

The three Kakashis, who were being strangled by the flames, all turned into white smoke and dissipated before everyone’s eyes.

“Eh, why were they all Shadow Clones?” Yamato looked surprised.

He had just been worried that Kakashi would be seriously injured if hit by such a Fire Release, but he hadn’t expected all three Kakashis to be clones.

The next moment, a hand quietly reached out from behind Obito.

Whoosh!

Obito’s body moved at extreme speed, causing Kakashi’s hand to miss.

Realizing that Obito had seen through his strategy, Kakashi didn’t hesitate at all, immediately unleashed his Chakra and charged out, raising his hand to strike Obito.

Zzzzt! Zzzzt! Zzzzt!

Dazzling Purple Lightning appeared on Kakashi’s palm, turning his hand into a Purple Lightning blade.

“Fire Release: Flame Fist!”

Obito compressed flames onto his fist and fiercely swung his flaming fist to meet Kakashi’s lightning palm.

Crackling! Crackling!

Rumble! Rumble!

Purple arcs and fiery red sparks continuously shot out in all directions, and a violent explosion erupted.

The powerful impact caused both Obito and Kakashi to retreat a certain distance simultaneously.

“Hehe, Kakashi, this time all your intentions were seen through by me. I wonder how you’ll win this time,” Obito thought, feeling incredibly smug.

Although it looked like an even match now, he actually had the upper hand.

Because Kakashi’s sustained combat ability was worse than his, as long as he kept wearing him down like this, Obito was sure to win.

What made Obito happiest was that he successfully saw through every one of Kakashi’s attacks.

Kakashi used to always say he was just reckless and had no tactics. He wanted to see what Kakashi would say after losing this time.

“Three Shadow Clones, one Purple Lightning. I want to see how many more attacks you can organize,” Obito silently calculated Kakashi’s remaining Chakra.

Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall didn’t consume much Chakra, but Purple Lightning consumed a lot.

Immediately after, Obito deactivated Flame Breathing Chakra Mode.

Activating both Sharingan and Flame Breathing Chakra Mode at the same time was too extravagant; usually, using one was enough.

“Earth Release: Stone Pillar Spear!”

Kakashi, whom Obito thought was about to lose, still maintained his previous offensive rhythm and immediately launched another attack on Obito.

Kakashi did not use Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but he used many different abilities.

These different Lightning Release, Earth Release, and high-speed sword techniques combined to give Obito a lot of trouble, but none of them managed to defeat Obito.

Obito’s mouth curved higher and higher.

“Haha, after using so many Ninjutsu, even if he enters Lightning Release Chakra Mode next, he won’t have any extra Chakra for Ninjutsu anymore,” Obito laughed wildly in his heart, already seeing himself winning.

In his opinion, Kakashi had underestimated him in this battle, still treating him as the old Obito, and misjudged his endurance.

“Let me teach you a painful lesson.”

“Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!”

Obito opened his mouth and spat out a giant fireball at Kakashi. Kakashi’s Chakra was almost depleted; it was his turn to attack.

Whoosh!

Facing the incoming Great Fireball, Kakashi chose to dodge with Body Flicker Technique.

Obito, not letting up, unleashed his Chakra and chased after him.

The battle instantly reversed, with offense and defense switching roles.

“Is Obito going to win this time?” Rin Nohara was a little surprised; she had favored Kakashi more.

Of course, it wasn’t that she looked down on Obito, but Kakashi’s previous performance was indeed stronger than Obito’s.

“Not necessarily, Kakashi hasn’t used Lightning Release Chakra Mode yet,” Might Guy shook his head.

He believed Kakashi would win this time.

If you ask why, it was a gut feeling for his best friend!

“Flame Breathing Chakra Mode!”

Seizing the opportunity to strike while his opponent was down, Obito once again entered Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, wanting to go all out and defeat Kakashi within two minutes.

Facing the surging Obito, Kakashi pressed both palms together, interlocking his ring and pinky fingers, while extending and overlapping his other three fingers to form the Tiger seal.

“Yang Seal Release!”

As Kakashi opened the Yang Seal, the massive amount of Chakra sealed within automatically propelled Kakashi into Lightning Release Chakra Mode, causing his body to undergo a significant leap in improvement, and his aura continuously surged.

“Hmm?” Obito felt something was amiss.

Sharingan wasn’t as precise as Byakugan for seeing Chakra, but it could still get a general idea without problems.

“Something’s wrong. How could Kakashi still have so much Chakra? Where did he get so much Chakra?!”

Obito looked at the massive amount of Chakra erupting from Kakashi’s body, surprised and puzzled.

Was this still the Kakashi who would collapse after a full-power slash? Obito wanted to report Kakashi for cheating. How could someone increase so much Chakra in such a short time?

“Haha, as expected of my best friend,” Might Guy laughed heartily, crossing his arms.

“I need to prepare a stronger new move for my best friend,” Might Guy thought to himself.

Recently, Might Guy was preparing to utilize all his Taijutsu knowledge to develop a brand new Taijutsu, a powerful Taijutsu that could only be used when Rock Breathing Chakra Mode was stacked with Eight Gates Sixth Gate.

Although the Taijutsu taught by Muzuki was very good, Might Guy believed that self-creation was also very meaningful.

Because he understood his own body best, the Ninjutsu he developed would definitely be compatible with him.

Moreover, when he grew up, he could also teach it to his disciples.

Kakashi drew his White Fang Short Blade from behind his back, stepped forward with his right foot, swept his left foot back, and simultaneously tilted his body to the left with the movement.

“Flash: Godspeed!”

Dazzling yellow lightning exploded around Kakashi, and he rushed out like a true bolt of lightning.

Obito, sensing something was wrong, had already begun to retreat, but for Kakashi, who had burst to extreme speed, the distance was too short, and Obito was quickly caught up.

“Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!”

Obito had no choice but to use the boost from Flame Breathing Chakra Mode to rapidly burn Chakra, convert it into Fire Release, and spit out a large expanse of flames, trying to prevent Kakashi from getting close.

“One Thought Cut!”

Purple Lightning continuously transferred from Kakashi’s palm into the White Fang Short Blade, extending the White Fang into a purple katana.

Crack!

A crisp, loud crackling of lightning sounded, a dazzling purple slashing light flashed, and the flames attacking Kakashi were split in two, then completely dissipated.

Thud.

Before everyone could understand the reason for Kakashi’s astonishing bravery, Obito fell to the ground, with scorched lightning marks on his chest.

However, when everyone looked at the ground in front of Obito, they knew that Kakashi had held back.

The ground in front of Obito had already formed a scorched trench.

If Kakashi’s slash had hit Obito fully, then what they would have gotten might have been two pieces of Obito.

“Truly remarkable. Even Senior White Fang might not be able to achieve such a slash,” Minato Namikaze thought in surprise.

In terms of single attack output capability alone, Minato Namikaze felt that White Fang might not necessarily be higher than Kakashi’s current level.

Of course, Kakashi still had a considerable distance to go in overall strength, as a Ninja’s true strength depended on comprehensive ability, not just high single output.

However, Minato Namikaze felt this was already astonishing, after all, Kakashi was only eleven years old, not twenty-one.

“Kakashi wins,” Muzuki announced the battle result.

For Muzuki, who knew everything, this was a battle with no suspense.

After mastering the Yang Seal, a full-strength Kakashi was no longer on the same level as Obito.

Kakashi had always been limited by his Chakra reserves, and the extra Chakra from the Yang Seal was too significant for Kakashi.

PS:

This time, it really turned into Chenpi Xiao Ju (dried tangerine peel).

Barely finished at 3:30.
